Lookin' good everyone! If anyone has troubles posting their image to this thread, shoot me an email (I'll see it faster). Good luck!
@Laura-Brown Thank you! I'm pretty tired right now and can't see it straight, but am happy to be participating in the contests. You have a pretty creative take on the prompt yourself! Will, Jake, Baba Yaga and a walking chicken house? 
@jenithornhill
I had the same file dimension problem. Glad you got this posted - I love the winter crop circles!
@aska Thanks! I based it off the tree I drew for Inktober.
Wow! I'm really empressed by all your cool ideas!!!
This is my first post. I just finished in time... :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

@Serena this is adorable. I love the lighting. Just wanted to let you know you might have missed a word in your text?
Hello! This is my first time posting and entering the contest. I'm also a new SVS member so I'm definitely learning a lot as an illustrator! For the prompt, I went for a two page spread. Was going for the little boy, Will, following the tracks to a bigger reveal. (big foot face planted) I loved the challenge being about illustrating something that's hard to draw. It took me a minute to figure it out.
@Serena also "where" should be "were?" Hope you don't mind me pointing it out. I wouldn't want anyone to miss out because of text errors especially with such a sweet illustration

I realized after finishing that this could almost be considered spaceman spiff fanart, lol.
But it's done now!
@Braden-Hallett DAAANG! That’s some nice subsurface scattering! Love the creature design
@Braden-Hallett I just noticed that Penny's dog is his pet. Genetic engineering I guess?
Well, here goes nothing. Sorry, the res is bad.
Ok...I know that this is not a proper submission, but I really wanted to commit to showing up every month for 2020 . That is why I am adding this sketch and value study for my intended piece to show I had this contest on my mind 
I imagined Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) standing outside at night and gazing up at the house and Catherine's room. I tried to shape the house like a heart to convey the idea that these new tracks in the snow are actually the tracks that love have left in his heart and soul.

@chrisaakins said in JANUARY CONTEST: The tracks in the snow were unlike anything Will had ever seen before.:

It's literally the same dog. It just gets a body upgrade every few years (or every few days that one time when penny got the mixture wrong).
Just in time! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: Took a bit more time than usual because I was tackling dragon scales. I'm happy with this one. Love all the submissions above! Good job everyone! 
Here’s my entry. I almost forgot to post it!
