SEPTEMBER CONTEST: Everyone was shocked to see her show up to school with...

Chip Valecek · 6 Sept 2019, 16:26

This months prompt comes from @Will-Terry - Everyone was shocked to see her show up to school with...

What could be so shocking? Can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Couple of details:

The contest is open to anyone. But the winners and runners up will only be selected from active SVS members.

Post only finished pieces here. Post WIP projects in their own thread.

Put your real name and forum name on the image somewhere (can be on a border if you like).

Good luck everyone!

What a fun prompt! I miss these type of prompts. They remind me of the old Third Thursday ones.

MichaelaH · 6 Sept 2019, 16:39

Ohh I like this one.

Once again I am first. I wanted to combine my inking practice for Inktober with the September prompt. This was a trial run for how I plan on creating art for Inktober: a combination of ink (brush pen and micron) with grey alcohol markers and white gel pens. I know everyone else is going over the top with great ideas but it would still be a shock if you accidentally brought mice for lunch!

The photo is abysmal but I don't have time or the inclination to clean it up in PS. Enjoy!

@chrisaakins

Your nice are so well done and they are so very cute! I like how you have done the white mouse starting with a different base grey and adding the white lines.

@Heather-Boyd @SFischer Thanks so much! It has been fun to have a vision for a creative plan for once.

Chip Valecek · 17 Sept 2019, 04:32

@chrisaakins outstanding work!

KajsaH · 17 Sept 2019, 07:26

@chrisaakins I love it! The mice look great and really like the texture of the ink and brush pen together

Hey Guys,

Here is my entry for the September Contest.

"Mrs. Young asked us to bring in something Brown. Nate brought in a stick. Amber brought in a Brown crayon. However, crazy Marnie topped us all! Everyone was shocked to see her show up to school with a fully grown Oak Tree!"

Good Luck and Thanks for looking!

Here is my first every monthly prompt entry, I wanted to do a unicorn but then thought it would be cool if she dressed up her pony as a unicorn instead sorry that the file quality isn’t great I can’t figure out how to downsize my images!!

@anya-macleod OMG this is super sweet!

anya.macleod · 24 Sept 2019, 08:34

@lenwen thankyou!!

Here is mine. I did this in traditional watercolor on cold press and inked It (and tweaked it) in Procreate. I could spend another week on it but given that I also did a pen and ink version of this and another version on hot press that I tossed, i’m ready to be done with it

noah.albrecht · 24 Sept 2019, 14:52

Laurie, this is so great! I love that it's a school of rabbits, and all of the students have their own personality! The style is so reminiscent of E.H. Shepard.

demotlj · 24 Sept 2019, 15:21

@noah-albrecht Thanks! I love his style so I'm glad I was able to capture it.

Kasey Snow · 24 Sept 2019, 22:12

When is the contest deadline? Been a while since I've entered one, but I got some fun ideas for it that I might flesh out if there's enough time still.

Heather Boyd · 25 Sept 2019, 01:47

@Kasey-Snow

Last day of the month 11:59 I believe.
