July Contest: Rabbit Road Race

I really enjoy browsing this thread; it's so fun and inspiring to see all the posts here, and just how many different takes on a single prompt are possible. Thanks everyone for sharing your work and process!

@Asyas_illos Thank you! Love all the pieces you come up with, great color with the puffy fish, oh but I especially love the wolf one it made me chuckle
@Johanna-Kim Thanks Johanna. You've got a grand scene in your race, the mountain, the bridge, the river.. oh my! There's so much going on and it's super fun to look at all the details. Love it!
@Kim-Rosenlof Thanks Kim! I love your concept too! So cute and it reads well! Your style is sooooo children's book.
@Georgios-Christopoulos The oblivious one is easier to deceive ha ha! I wonder who's gonna win the race in your piece, the tortoise looks super evil with a way powerful ride!

@Valerie-Light Even though I can't read all the details, I think I get the story, it's super hilarious! The tortoise got a wrong turn but end up sliding to finish line before the hare! It's amazing how you pull together a complicated race from beginning to the end with just one image!

@Kim-Rosenlof Thank you! Love yours, too. Though it hits a little close to home – I’ve definitely been that bunny running a marathon…

Jeremy Ross

So unique @AngelinaKizz, love it!

Dang, do I still have time to participate in the contest? I mean, I do check the forum, but I didn't know I had to submit the image separately I just realized because I was going to watch videos and saw in the dashboard the critique arena thing lol.

Kim Rosenlof

@Eliana-Bastidas You could always try to enter it now on the dashboard. I am not sure if you will be stopped or not. You can contact @AustinShurtliff or one of the other SVS team if it doesn't work out.

@Kim-Rosenlof I did submit my image today; I didn't have any issue with it, but I did miss the day . I guess that if it doesn't work I just will need to participate again in a few months. Thanks Kim!

AngelinaKizz

@Jeremy-Ross thanks Jeremy!

Kim Rosenlof

@Johanna-Kim This turned out really cute!

@Valerie-Light Wow! looks like alot of work. Very cool concept and neat artork! Very much like a board game or adventure map. I would love to see a higher resolution one posted here

Here's a link to my website where you can see this picture in much more detail. It was designed to print at 11x17!

@Johanna-Kim @Kim-Rosenlof @Sarah-vandam @AngelinaKizz @Asyas_illos Thank you guys, sincerely, for encouraging me to repost this at higher res. I was feeling pretty doomy at deadline time yesterday, and all of your kind notes really lifted me back up when I read them today.

This project, and your comments, prompted me to think more in depth about what presentations make my art look best. I think I'll be redesigning my webpage to support much bigger images, like this link has begun to do.

@Erichousel Yes! I LOVE the idea of working on a game map of some kind.
@Jeremiahbrown Thanks for appreciating all that detail. I really got carried away, but honestly it was a ton of fun for practicing animal poses. I just now took a sec to count hem all. 115 I think?!
@aurelia I'm so glad you could get the humor from it!

Asyas_illos

@Jeremy-Ross man every time I scroll through here I find ones I missed! I love this, the mo-ped cracks me up! nice work!

So I have been awol for a couple of months! Had alot going on and working alot so I am back on the forum and would like some feedback on this entry that I just did not finish in time for Critique Arena.

Something I am trying to develop more is my understanding of values and the composition within those values. Does it all translate and what can I improve?

Thanks guys... so glad to be back- I've missed being here every day...
