@Laurel-Aylesworth

I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering how your experience getting paid has gone? What does your husband suggest?

It's now been 8 months since my work was published, and I've received two partial payments with the same messages from accounting. I did look at my contract again, and it says this:

Cricket Media agrees to compensate You with a one-time payment of $570 ($310 + $260) and You agree to accept such
compensation as full consideration for the rights granted herein.

Would this mean they are in violation of their contract?

Today, I've started leaving longer posts on Facebook and Instagram about their lack of payment. I also commented on a sales director's LinkedIn post. I just want the remaining $370 that they owe me. I can't even imagine being owed $1800!

Oh and here is a fight scene from the current novella Im writing, I did the illustration 🙂 and can’t wait to workshop the cover with you all

@kayleenartlover there ate also the storytelling collective challenges. They are affiliated with Drivethrurpg and roll20 and have several writing courses and challenges going on during the year

I will suggest to get the ideas down on paper. Because whenever you ask if someone is interested you are giving a second seat to your own interest, and that is what will make your work a great read, if you want to write it, so start small, put a deadline on and go for it.
We will be here helping the best we can

@nohdee I made the changes based on the feedback for my October prompt - Goodbye.

@Hannah-England Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback, Hannah! That is a great suggestion. It'll be nice to have something from a different angle and not specifically focussing on the characters. I'll work on something like that.

I'm kinda late to this post but I just wanted to say you have an excellent style and portfolio! Great work!

I'm glad you asked this question because I was wondering the same things! Looking forward to seeing your submission!

SVS prop assignment.png

Hello! This is my first time posting on here, but this is my prop design I came up with for the intro to prop design course. I've been really getting into dnd and playing Baldur's Gate 3 so I thought I'd do something inspired by a place in it called the Underdark, a very whimsical area full of mushrooms and crystals and honestly one of my favorite areas in the game.
I'll try not to go into too many lore relatd details but essentially, this is where my character in game lived, so I figured these props are what you could expect to find in her home.
I'm honestly pretty proud of it! I'd be interested to know what you all think, any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hello! I've been a student of svs for almost a month now!
I do really enjoy studying with svs. Here is my Extrapolation Exercise with a character by Jake. I think it's really fun to share><

@AthenaBeana I think there is certainly value in drawing the figure on a large piece of paper. Drawing something at a larger scale has improved my overall technique and allowed me to work on larger strokes instead of small ones, mainly using my wrist. While you can draw a human head at a relatively large size on a normal piece of paper, the human figure is much larger, which makes the larger paper helpful. Charcoal is not a requirement, but I've found that the medium helps me make large, quick strokes while figuring out the figure's gesture and encourages me not to focus too much on nodding at little details. I can understand not wanting to spend a lot of money on supplies. I would recommend getting some cheap large sheets of paper (like newsprint or even just 11x17 sheets if that is easier to come across) to experience drawing the whole figure at a larger scale. You can still do many of the drawings in your preferred size and medium, but doing a few large would be very helpful.

@mag Super helpful!! Yeah, that sketch is definitely what I was going for, I just don't have a strong enough grasp on perspective to achieve that yet haha. Adding the foreground elements help a ton, makes the space feel more like an actually lived-in space as well.

I did have the guy with the fork facing to the right intentionally, it's a bit of a piece on sharing new foods between cultures, so it's meant to be as if he's hiding the fact that he's struggling to eat the food, but that's a good point about it being thrown off the page.

@mag That is a great observation and I'm glad you pointed it out. I'm going to make the changes on my end. It makes me happy to see how the illustration has improved with the right feedback. Thank you so much! 🙂

Thanks @LisaF !

Hello, I would like to know if it is okay to do the how to Draw Everything exercises with Apple Pencil and iPad?

@Mariana-B yeah it is the word bubble icon next to the notification bell. press it and then hit all chats, then enter my name in the search bar to start a chat 🙂

@AthenaBeana if you didn't know about the chat function, that is an option, i understand it is nerve-racking to share stuff! i'm nice though and if you tell me what you are going for and what sort of feedback you want I promise not to get intense!

@Mariana-B thank goodness. That was one I was debating on doing or self publishing pro.

Very cool!

@ChloeGreenbergArt
Yay! Congrats!
Remember that you accomplishing this huge project is proof that you can get through anything. Good luck on your portfolio pieces!

@Yogita-Chawdhary Thank you! It's nice to know the point goal!

@Fey-Realme Aww, well we're all here to support each other while we grow as artists 🎨 ❤
