@stayhomejoe Hey, ALL my middle school friends were characters in fantasy fiction. I feel this. And thank you for the compliment. Fall has my favorite colors.
Here's my effort for this month. I have loved seeing the other amazing entries. You guys are so talented! (P.S. I just reposted this as realised after I posted to the Critique Arena submission page that I had posted the unfinished version on this feed - she was missing half her stick! oops!)
@Kim-Rosenlof hilarious! Gives me Befana vibes.
Whew, banged this one out in a couple days. Just barely submitted it in time today!
I feel like its a bit bare bones, but that's what I've got to show for living in the procrastination nation.
I think I was late submitting, and it is not quite arena material, but I was quite set in making this for my daughter Eva. It is her dancing superhero self (she is an irish dancer and also plays wind instruments) feeling she is able to fly and overcome any difficulty, bringing happiness to others through dance and music. I did this while on vacation, maybe I will try to work on this some more when I return home. Except the lame text, it’s all handdrawn colored pencils
Hi! I'm having a hard time logging in, I did the free trial version, but when come here to the forums, it logs me out? This is an old account, so I'm not sure it's linked to the account I previously created? (am confused lol) 
Late entry:
Name: Hana
Superpower: transferring consciousness to machines, using it to link up and ride robot
Weakness: clumsy!
@Lorna-H Love how creative your character is! And also well-rendered!
@Daisy the log thing works a bit off for me too, though I have a paid account. And the Svs course website and the forum have different logging accounts
@aurelia Design is brilliant! Did you get your inspiration from Onepiece? It looks amazing!
@AngelinaKizz Beautiful and creative!
@Erichousel So happy that you made the deadline!
@Kim-Rosenlof Oh I like that! I also made an old fella for a past character design ! Also love the "simplistic" design approach. Brilliant!
@Daisy love the poses and the costume design.Nice!
@ArtMelC so cool.I need to borrow your Claire for some investigation!
I ended up rushing this one and not added nearly the amount of detail I wanted, but some months are like that right? Trying to get back in the swing of these after two months off. 
Thank you @Asyas_illos, @AngelinaKizz , @Kim-Rosenlof , I'm glad you like it! Oh, @KevinTreaccar That should be the introduction for him
@Georgios-Christopoulos Yes! Indeed, but only the devil fruit part ha ha...
@Asyas_illos Great job on this, I absolutely love your submission. An in masterfully unique take with a little children's book painterly greatness, well done!
This month I’ve barely made it, I’m not even sure if they are going to accept my entry as it might went through after the deadline. But here it is. I tried to use different brush strokes and create a slightly older character, which was a big challenge for me!
Thank you all for the great inspiration, every entry is so unique! 
Great job everyone! Thank you all for submitting! We are working on updating the Critique Arena website with all the entries right now
The next Critique Arena is scheduled for Thursday Sept 15 at 2pm MDT.
May the odds be ever in your favor!
@noah-albrecht wow thank you! I appreciate the kid words
@mag love it!
@mag Haha. I love the side, back, and front poses.
