I'm gearing up to send out some postcards (made a promise to my local kid-lit group, so now I HAVE to do it) but from what I hear the format, layout and all sorts of other stuff can differ drastically from artist to artist.

So I'm curious! What do your postcards look like? Single sided? Double sided with an image on one side and info and such on the back (like a normal postcard)? Hand written? auto-mailed by an online entity en-masse? Personalized with calligraphic doodles? Stickers? Stuffed in a semi-clear envelope with pins and other goodies?

Post an image if you can (or just tell me what you do, that works too)

Thanks everyone!

been reinking old sketches. I imagine riding bats would be like giant winged capybaras

@Squirrel-Size said in July Art Prompt WIP Alligator Attack!:

Hey @Braden-Hallett, I'm trying to keep it on the lighthearted side, so I'm probably leaning more towards a nuisance that needs to be scared away. Do you think its going in the right direction or do I need to edit the croc to be less "scary" (maybe file his teeth down a bit)?

'nuisance that needs to be scared away' is definitely the vibe I was picking up on. If that's what you're goin' for, that's what I'm readin'

@chrisaakins I think you're MORE likely to get a sunburn at the south pole that most other places on earth. So she could totally get a tan if she wanted to. She's just freeze to death in the process

@burvantill ended up makin' my own Didn't take too much trial and error.

continuin' to play with watercolours

@Squirrel-Size Is the alligator meant to be terrifying, dangerous, and/or life-threatening? Or is he meant to be a nuisance that needs to be scared away?

@hannahmccaffery Thanks! I'm hoping it works out colour-wise with all the crazy orange fire and nasty brown smoke.
