@stephanie Thank you so much, that means a lot!

Mia Clarke

@stephanie Your piece made me feel all the feels. You really are good at reducing concepts down and just concentrating the heck out of them. Great piece.

@Mia-Clarke - I'm glad the message came at the right time. Your work is awesome. I meant to say that I loved the delicacy of your "linework" but autocorrect changed it to "lifework"! Apologies - I didn't have my specs on when I was typing!

@Martha-Johnston glad I'm not the only one lol! I love the way yours turned out.

@JacksonAdamsArt OMG! I was looking at this last night and then the joke hit me and I laughed out loud. Brilliant!! (I'm new to the forum and new to the upvoting process, etc.. Ignore if you can see my accidental down-votes and then corrections of that . Love the work!)

I see there are many strong contestants this month! Should be interesting!

I made a piece as well, not sure if it won't be again considered as an unclear story. To be honest I struggle with coming up with ideas that are not too complex and not requiring a context. This is sth I'm still learning, so that's how I view Critique Arena: as an opportunity to learn. I don't want to make sth banale, but as a result I feel like I end up with sth that only makes sense in my own head
And I admit, I took a risk with that angle

I would be interested to know what anyone makes of what's going on here

@mzameckaart From what I could see, is this an underwater civilization in a microscopic form, holding a ceremony, with the cat outside looking on? Not sure what the other character is and thought she's a mermaid that is misplaced? Anyway I could be totally off but I do want to say your rendering and paint are beautiful.

ArtistErin

@mzameckaart Ok looking closer that's not a mermaid, she's the owner of the cat, she's obviously human holding a glass of water. Sorry about the mistake!!

This was a busy month for me, but I was able to do an illustration for the prompt "glow". It is definitely not my favorite piece, but it's something. I considered not entering this month because of not having a lot of time to illustrate, but I have been entering the contest every month for a couple of years now, so it didn't feel right not entering something . At least I got some drawing time in.

Kim Rosenlof

@mzameckaart I actually like the angle. I love all the people in the bowl. Makes me want to know the whole story.

Kim Rosenlof

@kirsten-mcg These are great! I am interested in the bird story, and love the cozy campfire illustration.
Don't you hate it when you notice things after submitting? I do that all the time.

Kim Rosenlof

@Jeremy-Ross The characters are so cute!

Kim Rosenlof

@JacksonAdamsArt This is funny! Love the concept.

Kim Rosenlof

@LauraA I am really curious to know what is going on in this story; it is sinister, but beautifully done. I love how you did the ghost/spirit and the wallpaper.

Martha Johnston

Did a variation my dream farm entree. Its too late to enter the variation but what do you think? do you like this one better?
.Its based on a baby deer my son in law rescued out of a river on maui. They bottle fed her and she lived with them like one of their dogs.

The tubes I drew are based on the aquaponic systems . https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYP1MgJ9mB/ Sweet rescued deer is here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKnooXA7Lk/
