[Lisa F]

@Jon-Anderson Indeed! We'll be putting them up in the shop soon Here's what they look like:

[Joslyn Schmitt]

@Lisa-F As a bunny mom I need this in my life! Lol

Also is there a cut off date to show off our mermaid illustrations in here before the end of the month winner is announced?

[Justin Allers]

Here is a Scifi Mermaid I did for MerMay in my Sketchbook; digital version to come.
I still have to work out her back story, I think I could have a lot of fun exploring mermaids in space. I already have another idea for a Whale like Guardian.

[Lee White]

c'mon everyone! let's see some mermaids (mermen?). This is the beginning of a NEW MONTHLY CHALLENGE CONTEST!!! So get your paint and pencils movie'. Let's see what you got! : )

@Lee-White hi, what is the deadline? end of May? If yes, then we still got two weeks

[Lisa F]

@Joslyn-Schmitt Howdy! You can post thru May 31st, so there's still time

[Lisa F]

@aska Yup! The deadline is May 31st

[Lisa F]

@Justin-Allers Nice!

[Chip Valecek]

@Lee-White well I been meaning to do a mermaid piece all month. I got the idea already in my mind, now just need to do it. I think the challenge with a pay off will motivate me to find some spear time to work on something personal. I like the idea of a new monthly challenge.

[smceccarelli]

Urrah! Monthly challenges!

[evilrobot]

Sounds fun. Maybe I'll try another Draw-50-Things with mermaids and underwater scene.

[Lee White]

Forgot to mention that the winner of each monthly contest will get to illustrate the next months contest post! Your work will be seen by thousands of people!

[MOO]

Decided to try a salty old lady mermaid. I've never seen one before. I wanted it to look old and crusty. She's worn a place in the rock over the years

[Eric Castleman]

Idk

P.s I'm fat, just in case anyone feels this in insensative

[MOO]

@evilrobot Wow! That would be cool to see

[MOO]

@Eric-Castleman Ha! Ha! You're funny. I can get away wiht mine because I'm old too

[Dulcie]

I love the idea of a new monthly challenge, this is great. It's great that SVS is doing something new to encourage us to post and get involved in the social media side of things...I'll try to find the time to enter this.

Love the idea that the winner of each month's contest gets to illustrate the next one too! (wondering whether you'd need to stagger it, so that each winner gets enough time to do a decent illustration...I'm sure you'll figure it out though

[Kevin Longueil]

@Lee-White Hey Lee - is there a Deadline for the challenge? I've started but was hoping to have an idea of when i should call it done - thanks for doing this!!

(I was wondering about staggering winners also as @Dulcie mentions above)

[Charlie Eve Ryan]

@Kevin-Longueil Lisa mentioned the deadline is May 31st, so you still have plenty of time to keep working on your piece!

[Kevin Longueil]

@Charlie-Eve-Ryan Thank you Charlie!!....and sorry @Lee-White
