Hi folks,

In lieu of Critique Arena I'm finding other illustration competitions to enter. I'd love a critique on my entry to CYA's competition — the theme was "Dreamland". I ran out of time with this one so although this is what I submitted I'm actually going to re-paint it. But in terms of everything else, the concept, composition, colour, etc I'd love a serious critique!

P.S. Is anyone else interested in doing this too? Critique Arena has left a huge hole in my life. I used it as a way to make portfolio pieces to a deadline and it forced me to hold my work to a higher standard. I appreciate that How to Fix your Art is fulfilling a need that CA wasn't but it doesn't do either of those things for me. Does anyone know of any illustration competitions for May and June? The next one I've been able to find isn't until July (The NEWC Illustration Prize).

I'd appreciate any feedback you have!
