The Staff of SVS
This month @Lee-White is taking it easy on us (or is he?)! The prompt this month is back to the one-word Dragonfly. See simple, right?
Here are some more details:
The contest is open to anyone. But the winners and runners up will only be selected from active SVS members.
Post only finished pieces here. Post WIP projects in their own thread.
Put your real name and forum name on the image somewhere (can be on a border if you like).
Here's the slideshow for this month: http://cshellmedia.com/clients/svs/
I really enjoyed putting this one together and see all the different takes on the cover. Great work everyone!
@carrieannebrown I will be posting it in a little bit.
@fpichel Thanks for entering the contest, and sorry for the delay on the email confirmation! We had to add that step on new accounts to help deter forum spam (although some still unfortunately gets in). Anyway, we'll accept your entry, and anyone else who ran into technical difficulties 
Just fyi, we'll be holding a live event on August 13 at 2pm MDT where our judges reveal the top 16 entries and critique the work, then the audience votes for the top two. It's a lot of fun! We'll record it if you can't make it.
This is a lot to take in here. Reading through most of the comments it comes down to user experience. Most of the issues that people are having can be changed in your settings. You can customize how you best want to use the forums. The forums is not a custom built tool. It is a service that SVS pays for and I help to manage and make sure things are running smooth.
If there is something that you can not configure through your settings, feel free to send me a chat message here and I can look into further.
Wow, great work everybody!! We'll be convening our next Critique Arena on August 13, more details to come!
Sorry for my lack of attention this month... I am in the process of selling my house and buying a new one 
Anyway if anyone had issues posting this month please let me know. You can email me at cvalecek@gmail.com. We hit our limit of emails being sent from the forums which may have caused a delay in people getting their account validated. I will start to pull all the submissions and get the slideshow up and running by tomorrow!
The clock is ticking!
@Griffin images for the web should be jpg, gif, or png. Sorry I wasn't clear on that part. As far as procreate goes I have no clue LOL I don't use apple products. I am anti-apple LOL
