      @Aleksey It's 9pm where I am. So I have 2 hours?

        @CLCanadyArts quite honestly I have NO idea. Time is relative?

          Tried my hand at a historical piece to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad across America. This piece really pushed me.

            @Chip-Valecek Entries must be posted by 11/30 at the stroke of midnight ⌛️ No time zone specified. Which Time zone does this apply to? Gmt - 7? . I'm pst, so it's 9:19pm right now, but 10:19pm gmt.. I don't want to miss out over time zone issue. Thanks!

              My first attempt at an SVS contest! I went back to a previous piece I spent a month on in October and reworked it a bit to meet this deadline. I may continue with my initial project from November at a later time but right now i'm trying to finish some full color spreads from this story I wrote so I can send out my dummy book! Everyone's work looks great! I loved seeing everyones progress. Wish I had photos to share of my thumbnails and character design from this spread but they are all packed away. I think the most beneficial part of #slowvember for me was @Lee-White Questionnaire, it asked some really thought provoking questions that really helped me understand how I want to move forward as an artist.

                This was a great contest this month. I had a lot of fun and learned soooo much.

                I enjoyed putting all the contest energy towards a project I was working on anyway!

                Very pleased with the results. Thanks @Lee-White and all those that gave feedback on the forums.

                    Lack of time this month. I started and finished this today, only got about 5 hours into it. I see many things I could touch up and refine. Will take this further later. 🙂 Pencil sketch, digital colors.

                      This is my first time participating in a contest here, but I've been listening to the podcasts and lessons for awhile now.

                      I thought a lot about what subject matter was inspiring to me, and so I chose to illustrate this moment with my kids. I wanted it to feel like the moment I walked in and saw them, so I was going for a kind of private peaceful moment. Also, since I tend to avoid backgrounds I took that as part of my own personal challenge as well.

                      Check out my art and tutorials :)

                          So I was’t sure I was going to get this done. But I have been working on character consistency. I still have a lot to practice! I have enjoyed looking at all the entries.

                              @CosmoglotJay I love this, I could see it in a graphic novel. There's a beautiful eery feel to it.

                                      @Pamela-Fraley Saw your work on Instagram. Beautiful piece. I am also learning how to work with watercolor and pencil. So glad finding people here on the same journey.
                                      @Rachel-Horne thank you. Your piece is very playful. I have been looking at a few illustrators working with paper collage, and I want to bring some of the collage energy into my own work. But I do not know where to begin.

                                            @CLCanadyArts We should be more specific with the cut off time. I will discuss it with the judges and see if we can get a actual time zone cut off. Most everyone has them submitted before I start to pull them all for the slideshow, so its really not an issue.

                                            Great work everyone! I am getting started on the slideshow, it should be ready later today!
