@Chip-Valecek - Here's my effort for this month. I used the template as am clueless about digital art but huge apologies if I don't quite fit the size specifications, I tried to resize it accordingly but not sure if it's right. I will now have time to comment on all the fantastic entries for this month, so many amazing images! Well done everyone.
Here's my effort for this month. What a challenge this was! I'm looking forward to going through all the entries now and enjoying them - there were so many great ideas and so many beautiful images. Well done everyone!
What fantastic entries there are this month. Here's my effort! I hope I'm not too late either. As usual I was having trouble reducing my file size from Procreate without losing image quality. I need to master this for next month! I now notice there are a few other space themed entries, apologies, but I am far too slow a worker to change my image at the last moment! I am not speedy!
I'm uploading a second version of my picture because I finally managed to reduce it's file size! The one I posted previously was terrible quality as I had to resort to taking a photo of it on my ipad! Loving the fantastic entries this month, I'll now have a chance to enjoy looking at them all.
Welcome! I’m new to this too and haven’t introduced myself yet so well done for being more brave to give your back story. Love your fine pencil work on Instagram on your mystical creatures. Hoping you’ll enjoy this forum, it’s a really supportive group of people with lots of talented artists who give really constructive and accurate advice.
I absolutely love both these images. I agree with others that the version with the writing would be an excellent book cover. If you were going to use the version without text I also agree with @baileymvidler that you could perhaps add a little more of the splashing stars she mentioned falling on the ground as that is such a beautiful effect. It’s a beautiful piece either way! Well done!
@Chip-Valecek - So sorry to take up your time with what are likely very obvious technological errors! I couldn’t find a way to reduce my image from Procreate to under 500kb without it being a PDF, please could you advise if there are ways to do this so I can send jpg or png (the file sizes were still too big when I converted to either of these formats). Thank you for your advice, it’s my first digital painting so I’m pretty clueless, apologies!
I don't have any feedback other than that I think these sketches are great and it's awesome seeing you working through the examples and also looking at the draw overs and comments of @Norman-Morana. I just wanted to say I love your sketches and you have kick started me into tackling the gesture class!
@alisa - these images are beautiful. I meant to give feedback on your falling tiger WIP images but my kids as usual needed something so I got sidetracked. I just wanted to say I love your style and the characters and effect with the black sky and stars are gorgeous.
Thank you @Braden-Hallett - I’m really looking forward to watching your recording. I feel similarly “clueless about digital art” @Coley so it’ll be great to get some pointers. However, your digital art looks amazing to me!
@Mary-Toth - what a gorgeous image! I love the character clinging onto the net, but also your colour choices and detailed finish produced with these traditional mediums is so impressive. It’s polished, skilful and beautiful. Love it!
@Charlie-Eve-Ryan - Congratulations! 
That's a fantastic achievement.
@dafoota - what a great idea for a challenge! The first image is awesome and I love the extreme perspective right in close to the claws, very effective. I also love the little guy on the bottom left image!
@Ryan-Ehr - this would be a perfect book cover for this story. The zig-zag design is fantastic as it takes your eyes down through all the characters. Awesome.
@cathy-spee - love this unusual style, it’s beautifully put together and so original.
@Kevin-Longueil - I’ve got a downvoted now to one of my comments so I’m worried now I’ve accidentally offended someone. Eek! Yes, I’m using an old iPad and it’s easy to tap stuff by mistake. Good idea to do a test downvote then upvote to see if person gets informed of mistake but don’t want to downvote you, even just for an experiment 
I’m paranoid now. You can try it on me though!
@Kevin-Longueil - I love this image, as I mentioned on your WIP thread when you were asking for feedback, the shoes with the witches reflection in are amazing! Fantastic image.
Can I ask your advice Kevin, I know you did an accidental downpost before, I just tried to upvote some great images but was over enthusiastic and upvoted a couple twice (forgot that I’d already Upvoted them last night) and it turned into a down post! Eek! So I then tried to reverse them and think I changed them back to upvotes. Huge apologies if anyone noticed. I only ever post upvotes. Has that happened to anyone else? Is there a way to make sure who you’ve already upvoted?

@lucillustrations - The black and white on this image looks fantastic with the red highlights. A really eye catching and original book cover!
@deboraht - this is such beautiful rendering, really delicate lighting. Love this image!
