@Jessica-Jolicoeur Hi Jessica, thanks so much! I appreciate you taking a look. I'll re-upload it in this section.
Btw, I loved your tentacle cat from the February prompt! That could totally have worked for living underwater too. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!Here's my finished piece for May. It's about a dedicated fan who went underwater to see her favorite band!
(If you're interested, the backstory of this piece is that I've been recovering from sciatica this month. I had to draw this whole thing either standing up or lying down.
That also means that my favorite summer activity of dancing at concerts is not gonna happen.
The silver lining is that I've rediscovered the joyfulness of swimming... something I haven't done since childhood. So this illustration is meant to communicate that feeling of joy and freedom of movement that I can only experience underwater). -
@reberlik Thank you, that tentacle cat was pretty amusing. lol
I am currently working on the Living Underwater prompt.
Thanks for reposting your art, I appreciate it, that's a fun backstory!
I have had sciatica before and it is so painful. I am sorry you are going through that.
Hopefully working on your art is helping you through it. -
@Jessica-Jolicoeur Awesome that you're doing the Living Underwater prompt! Try to finish fast because Austin said in a reply to a comment that they sometimes may accept some late ones.
If you don't submit in time to be included in the critique, I'd be happy to give some peer feedback.
Or you can submit to Mermay if it fits with your idea.
Btw did you know Mermay is an actual contest with prizes? Apparently you need to tag your work on Instagram with #drawmermay2024 to be included.Also thanks for sharing your sciatica experience. Hurray for Bad Back Buddies Club!
If you're a BC artist, you can come to a local illustration meetup group on zoom. Join Canada West Illustrators on Facebook if you're interested. We meet twice a month virtually and a few times a year in person.
