Really adore all the storytelling you've managed to fit into this piece, @Johanna-Kim! A great treehouse for a great mouse detective!

@Eugene-Tan Hello, I really like this colour palette and the moodiness and style of this painting.
Thanks! Still experimenting with colors and hoping to settle with something I'm comfortable with.

@Eugene-Tan this design is awesome! I like the color choices and shading but I think you can push them a but more to make the subject stand out. I hope you don't mind, I did a quick mockup and included greyscale versions and histograms for each to show the range portrayed
That looks...alot better than my own efforts. Dang, lol.
I was struggling with the contrast and that definitely shows how much of a difference it makes.

@Valerie-Light Elementary, my dear Valerie. Thanks for the kudos.
@PenAndrew Thank you! I'm definitely a details person, but trying hard to be more selective about the which details.
@aurelia Thank you!

Here is my entry into this months Critique Arena.
My treehouse comes with a Slime Room (which gets a bit messy), a Surveillance Room (to spy on the family), a Time Machine, a Drive-In Cinema and a large ParaSailing Blower.

@Johanna-Kim
Johanna what is this? The thing on the top that your arrow seems to be pointing to. Is it a cup? -
@Asyas_illos thank you! It must be difficult to resist having a snack when your house is so tasty
-
@aurelia thank you! I did have to resist drawing some little round pandas, it was tough! Glad the bite marks made sense.
-
@Kim-Rosenlof thanks Kim I love how much fun the birds are having on your cactus!
-
@PenAndrew Thank you. I was looking at some bamboo structures for research for this and some of them are really impressive!
-
@Asyas_illos I just love this one Asya!
-
@AngelinaKizz I like the fungus and the fish one. Itβs going to be a tough choice. The loose style for the fish is really nice.
-
@Johanna-Kim this is absolutely awesome! I love the detail and how delicately you have drawn it.
-
@PenAndrew Yes, it's a cup:) More specifically, it's a steaming beverage atop 3 books and the whole thing is a neon sign letting folks on the train know that there's tea and books to be enjoyed if they stop at this treehouse. The arrow is actually meant to show the direction of the train, so I will probably move it somewhere else in a later iteration to avoid any confusion. This is why I should probably give myself more time to share my work in the forum before submitting (sigh), but I tend to leave it to the last minute.
-
@HollyOakley Wow, love all the details in your piece. There's so many cool inventions to explore.
-
@Mike-Marttila Aw, thanks! And I love the perspective of your piece--makes me feel like I'm flying above your cool treehouse.
-
@lizardillo Thank you:)
-
@Johanna-Kim Thank you.

Great work everybody and a big THANK YOU to all who submitted art this month! You all make me want to start building a treehouse in the big silver maple in my backyard!
