Here's my entry. Good luck everyone!

I had the idea to illustrate some Aesop’s fables, but with a modern twist, so I started with the Tortoise and the Hare.

Here's my submission. Lots of great entries this month!

Thanks everyone who voted for my yeti. I swear he's only trying to add some cinnamon to the kids' coacoa, and not preparing to eat them as many of you sickos think. I just rewatched the livestream today, because the first time I had a screaming toddler in the room with me and i missed most of it. It was awesome that i made Will and Lee laugh out loud and that I got some feedback from them. I really didn't think I would make the top 16 because there were so many quality pieces and this was my first time entering, so it was a nice suprise to be one of the winners, and let's hope those kids make it out alive!

Doing pet portraits, with real physical paint! It's been so long since I touched a real brush, and it feels mighty good. I also went into a real life art supply store

Nice to meet you. Trying not to quit my dream as life unravels all around.

@TessaW @K-Flagg I went over every inch of this thing with a sharp brush. Man, that took a long time. I don't think I ever rendered anything to this level of detail, so this is like new territory for me

@Janette I'm really into the shapes your using, especially the tail. That's something I'm focusing on right now in my work.

@K-Flagg your drawing is good. For the latest piece, I think the values could be improved on a little. You have a dark character on a dark background. If you desaturate your piece you might see the value problem more clearly.

@Georgios-Christopoulos awesome- I saw The Twelve Tasks of Asterix when I was a kid. Definitely had a big impact on me.

@williammeany I can never do anything as good as this. I'm quitting.

@Melissa-Bailey-0 that's interesting. I would expect that illustrators get some creative license on scenes , but not be asked to write key plot points.

@Moana-Maureen IDK, this prompt was pretty open ended. A "situation" is about as non-specific as you can get. I think a more descriptive prompt might have produced the kind of results they were looking for as far as story elements.

@Moana-Maureen that's awesome. I feel in the dark too, I don't know what I need to be focusing on. I guess that's the benefit of in person school.

@mag they said the ones they were critiquing were not necessarily in the top 16. Does that mean there wasn't a top 16? I kind of missed the beginning.

Congrats to the winners. That was cool. I wish they would have critiqued mine so I would know how to improve it.

@Lee-White looking to get back into myself. I wish I was as fast as you. Here’s a 10min and a 30min I did before covid. I need to work on pushing my values darker. It’s the thing my instructors always told me to do and I can see they were right now. I hate when that happens.
