@chrisaakins ah, okay! Thank you 
NOVEMBER CONTEST: SLOWVEMBER
-
This is the first time I've entered the SVS contest. Here's to new goals! I've had this image in mind for a while. Being from Oklahoma, we studied the bison quite a bit. It's our state mammal. When I was in grade school, the species was endangered, and now we are eating them again. I think that's a triumph, right? (Incidentally, the bird is a scissor-tailed flycatcher and is the Oklahoma state bird. Ironically, it is becoming endangered.) Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!!

@Tom-Shannon you have taken the ghost concept into a very sensitive perspective. I like that it has made me think.

Welcome to the contest!
@karammitchell not certain if what I am going to say was intentional for you but I like how the mountain shape has been repeated through the hump of your bison (don't you just want to hug him, lols) and even the top of your scissor-tailed flycatcher's head - it helps bring unity to your image (I think that at least).

@Heather-Boyd Thank you! I'm glad those kinds of decisions are coming through!

Hi! Iām new here at this forum and I would like to join the contest this month. Iām not quite sure how to. Do I post an illustration directly here in this thread?
-
@Jenny-Lindqvist yes. Just make sure it's less than 500kb. I didn't know that for a long time.

@chrisaakins ah, okay! Thank you

Hey everyone! I'm going on a long Thanksgiving vacation through the end of the month so I have to stop working on this and just submit it!
Huge shoutout to everyone who gave me a critique when I was stuck. I printed out all of your comments and considered them one by one. Can't tell you how much you helped!
PS: I can't figure out this file size biz. Is this too large?
Happy Thanksgiving!

@SFischer OH, my Gracious! This is so dynamic and exciting! And that color!!
-
@SFischer Fabulous colour, texture, lighting, composition, character, expressions and mood! You should be mighty pleased with yourself -more like this please.
-
@SFischer Have a great vacation, you really made this piece pop!

Hi everyone! So this is my very first time submitting to a svs challenge. I'm pretty new and only in the past month or so started getting into children's book illustration, even signed up for a local (in person!!) workshop on children's book illustration starting in Jan so I'm excited about that. I'm still working on finding my style, I work traditionally and I love to draw in mostly pencil/ink/watercolour but I decided to bust out the acrylics on this one with a little digital fine-tuning at the end. I'm not super happy with how I couldn't get the details that I wanted with the brush.
So is my Canadianness showing?? My original idea was a girl with braids playing hockey but decided it would be more fun with friends...this is very intimidating I might add
thanks for looking!

@SFischer I love this one! The creativity behind it and the action are great. Made me laugh out loud.

@Connie-Resch hi connie. I love your background hills, trees and colors in the sky. I live in a cold climate and I get the feeling of a cool winter late afternoon when I look at it,

Hi everyone!
This is my first time posting here in SVS Forum, there's a lot of amazing artist here.
I've wanted to enter in one of the art contest for a long time now, just haven't had the time to actually participate in any SVS art contest, i feel that the Slowvember challenge works perfectly for my current situation, currently looking for work an trying to provide for my family.SVS courses are very cool and i found the courses to be very well done, learned allot about how to do Children books art and character and story development. all on which i am very interested in.
