October Contest: GLOW!
-
@Mia-Clarke I'm absolutely in love with both of your submissions this month. Great work!
-
There are so many amazing entries this month! I managed to get 2 done for the first time (I cranked out the 2nd image last minute and got it submitted 2 hours before the deadline. Phew!) Of course on the bird one I didn't notice that the top of one of the buildings was crooked until AFTER I submitted. Oh well...

I submitted this minutes before midnight! Still thought I'd share it here, as I am new to the forum and trying to build the habit. So many beautiful pieces this month
-
@kirsten-mcg amazing. great job. I did a last minute entree too.
-
@kirsten-mcg The bird one is fantastic. Really, really well done!
-

Thank you @Lorna-H!

Well, the entries for October are in! And let us just say, they fill us with a warm glow
Great job everyone!We'll be updating the Critique Arena website over the next few days, so don't be alarmed if you don't see your entry yet
Our next Critique Arena is scheduled for 2pm MST on Nov 17 (check here for other time zones). It's sure to be another nailbiter!
In the meantime, it might be a good idea to get cracking on the Nov prompt, because it is a doozy!
The prompt is: This was the end of the road for Kamari...Or was it a new beginning?
You have @Jake-Parker to thank for this one!
(And just fyi, I'll be posting a thread for the Nov contest shortly, let's keep this one for the Oct prompt
) -
Here is my submission for this month.
-
@Kim-Rosenlof Thanks a lot, Kim
-
@stephanie Thank you so much, that means a lot!
-
@stephanie Your piece made me feel all the feels. You really are good at reducing concepts down and just concentrating the heck out of them.
Great piece. -
@Mia-Clarke - I'm glad the message came at the right time. Your work is awesome. I meant to say that I loved the delicacy of your "linework" but autocorrect changed it to "lifework"!
Apologies - I didn't have my specs on when I was typing! -
@Martha-Johnston glad I'm not the only one lol! I love the way yours turned out.
-
@Mia-Clarke Thanks so much!
-
@Mia-Clarke Thanks! I'm loving this community. It's helping so much with my work.

@JacksonAdamsArt OMG! I was looking at this last night and then the joke hit me and I laughed out loud. Brilliant!! (I'm new to the forum and new to the upvoting process, etc.. Ignore if you can see my accidental down-votes and then corrections of that
. Love the work!) -

I see there are many strong contestants this month!
Should be interesting!I made a piece as well, not sure if it won't be again considered as an unclear story. To be honest I struggle with coming up with ideas that are not too complex and not requiring a context. This is sth I'm still learning, so that's how I view Critique Arena: as an opportunity to learn. I don't want to make sth banale, but as a result I feel like I end up with sth that only makes sense in my own head
And I admit, I took a risk with that angle
I would be interested to know what anyone makes of what's going on here

@mzameckaart From what I could see, is this an underwater civilization in a microscopic form, holding a ceremony, with the cat outside looking on? Not sure what the other character is and thought she's a mermaid that is misplaced? Anyway I could be totally off but I do want to say your rendering and paint are beautiful.
