@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.

@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.

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

[Bibi Senthi]

@Katherine oh thank you! Yes should have done that! I will know for next time!

[MarcRobinson]

@Katherine no problem, you've done a great job! You know what, I've never seen the never ending story. I should have done (I'm 37),but it passed me by! I love giant snails from the work of Jean Baptiste Mong. You've captured some of his essence I think.

@Asyas_illos This is one of my faves Asya

@Lorna-H I know right! Makes it look easy!

@mag this turned out so beautifully Mags, colours, characters, composition, clear story. All of the details, it's just bloody lovely. 🥰

[helenbrady]

@Katherine I thought of a similar concept and glad I didn't do it because this is so much better than i would have knocked out. So beautiful and love your colours. X

[helenbrady]

@Asyas_illos I love how this turned out Asya! Such a great, clear concept, beautiful colours and all round knockout drawing.

[Asyas_illos]

@ArtistErin thank you!

[Katherine]

@helenbrady Thank you Helen, that's very kind, although I'm sure yours would be different but beautiful.

@carrieannebrown So sorry to hear that. It's hard to create art when you're not in a good place emotionally. Best of luck with moving into he Freelance workspace!

[kirsten-mcg]

@Anna-Lindsay This turned out so good! It looks happy and friendly, perfect for a children's book on wild animals.

[Bibi Senthi]

@Chantal-Goetheer oh thank you! I'm so glad. I tend to struggle with contrast, so been working on that a bit.

[Bibi Senthi]

@Asyas_illos love this!

[marek.halko]

@Anna-Lindsay Great picture! Very nicely designed!

[marek.halko]

@Lorna-H Haha, i would wish so.Thank you very much, you are too kind️!

[marek.halko]

@mag No shaver, no problem.

[ArtistErin]

@Asyas_illos Yep! Looking forward to this next Critique Arena, I'm in that growth phase as a person and artist, and this competition seems to pull all the things out, so my thanks to you for being one of the constants in my world here in this forum...
