I’ve just joined SVS so this is my first post, first contest entry but also my first try at digital art! I’ve only ever worked with traditional materials and am a novice so huge apologies in advance for all the errors in technique in this picture! I’m working my way through the classes so hopefully my work will improve as I go! I’ve loved seeing all these amazing images, what a talented group of people!

I meant to say, I was unable to post before the deadline as I my email confirmation to activate my SVS Forum Account wasn’t working, the nice SVS person just helped me out and said I should post my image tonight. I can’t seem to get the image to show (just the link), any tips for how to get the image to show for this technological dinosaur would be appreciated!

Wow...I hadn't checked in a while and there are so many awesome art entries.
-
@Lorna-H scroll all the way to the right on the toolbar there’s an up arrow icon it’s the upload button
-
@CLCanadyArts no, I havent read it. THanks for the tip. Ill go look it up.
-
@Absconditus I love this piece and I'm surprised you don't have more likes. I'm really interested to know more about the character and what's going to happen next. I particularly like the eery atmosphere.

@juliemillardart Thank you Julie, I am still in the phase o figuring out how I can paint digitally, I`m more of a drawing person to be honest

@Qi Your use of color and textures are amazing Qi. You managed to captures the mood and color pallet of the sunset beautifully!
-
@Lorna-H When you submit your image make sure to press the image button instead of upload file. I see you uploaded a PDF but you need to make sure it is a jpg or png. Let me know if you have any questions.

@cszoltan - that's so kind of you to say so! Looked at sunset photos I had taken over the years, learning some brush strokes from vids of acrylics artist Chuck Black (his sunsets are very impactful), and the foundations SVS classes listed. Really loved your playful Nightfall interpretation with a twist of fantasy - and wanted to ask, what is the tool that the little green monster is holding?

I just about finished the previous one and then iIrealized it was February. I really hope to submit to this one. I think i can come up with something good and possibly snail related.
@ColbyGreen hope to see your Jan and Feb illustrations. Even if the "deadline" has passed, there's no real deadline to you sharing your work or wip (if you want). Found your bio to be super interesting - I too switched over to art much much later - how did you find the transition from a conventional profession into teaching/arting?

@carolinedrawing Iv'e had dreams (at night) about an upside down world -I had considered it for this but alas I did not use it -hope to work on it in a later work.

Right under the wire
@Braden-Hallett can't stop looking at your illustration - such great contrast and the concept is clever way of showing Nightfall - night is literally falling! How did you come up with this super idea?
-
@2woleos I love this and absolutely understand it -to add I sometimes feel something might come through my mirror and grab me- so I irrationally not at all superstitious turn the lights on and look myself over in the mirror and remind myself there is no one else there -and even push to praying angels are protecting me on all sides-nothing will get through them.
-
@beckporter really like this classic style approach to layout- I have two large collection of children stories that have a similar style.

@KathrynAdebayo this is like a mini graphic novel story. I'm studying composition, and how you've composed each frame and blended them together with colors, invisible lines and light to show a journey is incredible. Is the story based on something you've experienced?

Like @Chip-Valecek said: Holy Nightfall!! This is gonna be a tough competition!
The live critiques are scheduled for Mar 12 at 2pm MST. We'll be emailing the details soon.
Hope you can join, it'll be fun!
