Loving the different interpretations so far! I can tell this will be a good month.
Here's my submission for "Isolation". I wanted to take a stab at a more light-hearted approach. From @Lee-White 's note expanding the idea of isolation, I wanted to show the social distancing side of isolation in a fun way that could help explain the situation to kids. So, everyone gets their own spot on the ice! Natural limits explain the isolation (hopefully 
)
First time posting, hope this is the right spot... (hi everyone!)
Love all the different takes on the prompt! Here's my take on Nightfall
Happy March! My entry sees some familiar faces from January (The tracks in the snow..) in a slightly new style. Nobody could believe Will's incredible story!
Testing out some faux watercolor in Procreate
Lisa's BrunchBot has gone rogue! Mmmm.. brunch....
I'm new to SVS, but am enjoying all the resources and community here!
My first book was self-published with my wife through Kickstarter in 2017, called Boys Don't Fly.

You have a great problem right now! Enjoying two artistic endeavors is a good thing. Lots of creative people use one artistic outlet for the day to day job, and develop another on the side. To find some better direction for the short term, I would test your skills against both Animation and Illustration professional work. Which one do you feel you are stronger in? Animation to illustration isn't a big leap if you are a strong artist. Everyone's situation is different, but if money is an issue, I'd lean toward whatever direction you feel you can keep a steady job. You can then keep developing both skills (but at least one will bring a paycheck).
@Kim-Hunter The 4K vs 1080 is just how many pixels the screen has. The quality of the print is based on the canvas settings in Photoshop, not related to the pixel numbers on the screen. The more pixels on the screen (4K) will just give you more clarity or granularity as you are working. You can zoom into the image on either monitor size for detail.
@Aleksey Great mood and lighting! This came out very nice.
This is looking great! The fox and the chicken design and execution feel spot on to me. I agree with the others that the rabbit should be more engaged with the tracks.
Really beautiful work!
I work at a videogame studio as a VFX artist. It's a great place to be and I'm very fortunate - surrounded with artists and creators. Although the job is filled with amazing creative challenges, there's something special about designing and building a story and art in a picture book. I'm happy to spend my days solving problems with explosions and jump jets and my nights drawing goofy characters. I don't picture myself leaving anytime soon.
I think 1 and 3 are great concepts and I'd like to see them illustrated, but I feel like 2 has something simple and elegant going on. It fits the solitude of isolation well and doesn't leave me with the questions of 1 and 3. I'm a bit stuck filling in the blanks on what the planet/spaceship are all about in 1. In 3 it just makes me sad that she wouldn't fit through the bottle.
That said, again I think any of those will be magical rendered.
@Christina-Ogbotiti Something about this reminds me of the game Broken Age from Double Fine. ( A beautiful game) It has a great character to it.
@Coley Thanks! It was fun trying to figure out their activities
@aprilshin Thanks! It was fun to try more of a collage of characters.

I missed this one, but I'm looking forward to the recording!
@KathrynAdebayo In my case, I received back CMYK PSD's from my publisher. I loaded them into Procreate (this was after they started supporting CMYK). The image looked broken essentially, as if it had been processed to get it to show in Procreate. The PSD was fine in Photoshop, but Procreate didn't handle them for whatever reason. This was last fall, so maybe they have fixed it since then, but it was beyond a simple color shift in my case.
You may be fine working directly in CMYK in Procreate, I haven't tested that specifically. But at the time last year, bringing a CMYK psd into Procreate was not working.
