November Contest: This was the end of the road for Kamari...

@Asyas_illos If they told you had longer, then I wouldn't worry about submitting tonight. I just had planned on submitting tonight because I hadn't heard one way or the other, and I didn't want it lingering over me into December (busy month). Tonight, when I looked at the email from last year's All-Stars, I realized that we had a bit more time last year than I remembered. If I am wrong, then you can reference this post to say that I told you wrong . I am sure that they will send out an email giving us more info.

Just made it on this one! I did a full page spread (which I like better), but decided to crop it for the actual entry.

Thank you to those who gave me feedback! I know I didn’t apply all of it, but I was cutting it a little to close to really bounce other ideas off people.

Didn't have time to finish this off but wanted to submit something so here we are. I was made redundant on Monday from my in-house illustration job (that revolved around dogs) with no warning so I've had a horrible, depressing few days and couldn't look at another dog straight away, haha. Good luck everyone!

Here's to my future in freelance!

@Sarah-VanDam this turned out really great!

@Chantal-Goetheer Thank you!!!

Hi, here is my picture for this month.

[Bibi Senthi]

Hi everyone, I just recently joined SVS after binging on 3point perspective podcasts and the SVS YouTube channel. Got through the whole lot in just over a week!

It's my first critique arena, and I'm now fully regretting my choice of character, as it is so miniscule! I had to take some liberties with scale after my brain exploded trying to get the scale right! And obviously I didn't account for the strip at the bottom till the end, so the shadow gets cut off at a weird place... But I got something in!

@marek-halko - you are truly a genius! Such a simple and perfect concept for a prompt that made my brains scrambled! Well done! Love it

[Lorna H]

@marek-halko - meant to say that the artwork is also beautifully rendered and unique as always!

@marek-halko Cute and hairy! Love it!

It's awesome to see some many different options where to go with this month prompt!
Here's my take on it.

My entry!

[MarcRobinson]

@Katherine thank you I appreciate that. The time I gave is just the actual painting part of the image. There are a few more hours of thumbnails and figuring stuff out at the beginning which I didn't count! But once I'm locked in, it all goes quite quickly after that.

[MarcRobinson]

@carrieannebrown sorry to hear about your redundancy. That's really crap. I like what you've done with the prompt. Great job. I'm sure freelance will work out.

[MarcRobinson]

@Katherine giant snail for the win! I like the direction you went with it in the end. Also think the white space for text is a clever addition. Well done.

[Sarah VanDam]

@mag Cute characters! ️

[Chantal Goetheer]

@carrieannebrown so sorry to hear that and still you finished your piece containing a dog. Hats off to you!!

[Katherine]

@MarcRobinson Do you remember the giant racing snail from The Neverending Story (assuming you’re my age)? I think that’s why giant snails have a special place in my heart. Thanks for your input with this one, Marc. I definitely took it in a very different direction than I would have without everyone’s feedback.

[Katherine]

@Bibi-Senthi Welcome! Bibi I can totally see your character and understand your concept so I think you solved that problem nicely. With the white strip at the bottom, you don’t have to put that on top of your image, it can go underneath. I can take mine into photoshop to do this — just make the canvas height a bit bigger than your image.

[Chantal Goetheer]

@Bibi-Senthi love the concept! Super clear to understand. Well done!
