    • RE: SEPTEMBER CONTEST: Ink Fairy

      Ok so here we go. My take on
      "Today was the day, she just KNEW it. Today, Ellie would finally snap a photo of an ink fairy."
      I thought of Ellie as an old lady who has ben chasing photographs of fairies her whole life, but newer caught the sneaky ink fairy. But today she´s got a god feeling.

    • RE: NOVEMBER CONTEST: TOGETHER

      I think I have bin overthinking and over doing my other entries in this contest so this time I decided to try making it simple, sticking to my old style but in new medium. My favorite characters, fox and bear sticking together even do it´s winter and the bear should be sleeping.

    • RE: JANUARY CONTEST: YETI HOME

      Hi everyone, this is my take on the YETI HOME. I was thinking that my YETI loves snow and snowball fights. When there is no one around he plays with his snowman, waiting for and hoping that the mailman will play with him.
      In the end I like this peace even though I don´t think the story is clear enough. God job everyone ❤

    • RE: FEBRUARY CONTEST: YETI COOKING

      So many good entries every time, this is my piece. I like cute and girley and my daughter loves everything with rainbows so why not? I usually paint in watercolour but went with digital painting in procreate with this one. Like the way it turned out but still struggling with the story part. I have a clear story in my head but it newer seems to be as clear on the paper 🙂

    • RE: MARCH CONTEST: Fairy-Tale Traveler

      Hi this is Eira, her name means snow and she lives in a secret valley that's under attack. Her love for and abilities to connect with animals is the reson she's been the chosen one to find help saving the valley from goblins. Off she goes scared and feeling lonely.
      Before she began her journey the elders gave her an amulet,

      -keep this close to your hart, they said.
      And so she did, not knowing why, until she met Badge! a grumpy but kind badger. From this day he followed alongside her on the quest she's been given, finding help to save her secret valley.

      (I'm not used to ✍ in English, so I hope this story isn't totally off!)

      I worked more on this than I usually do, I have the research and story but working on translating it in pictures. Here lies my weakness I think, most of the time I go for pretty rather then expression, trying to change but old habits are hard to fix. Good luck everyone ❤

    • RE: DECEMBER CONTEST: YETI

      This one was hard for me. I struggled a lot with getting it the way I wanted. Had a story in my head but could not get it to come across clearly. After watching al the fantastic entries pore in I almost gave up, thinking what´s the point? But remembered that learning and growing is the point and I pushed through and here it is. I am mostly happy that I didn´t give up this time. Good work everyone you terrify 😉 and inspire me ❤

      Nice, I saw the sami influences immediately ❤ I have the same inspiration, mixing viking and sami together. Like the blue hair, it reminds me of Plupp. (a Swedish children’s book character)

    • RE: Anyone else a primary/secondary school teacher?

      Hi I'm an art teacher in Sweden, the education is quite different here so it's not fair to compare. This year I decided I wanted to combine the teaching with som work of my own. I still like teaching but I feel I need the input from creating myself to be a better teacher and the teaching helps me being a better artist. My only tip, find those few students that makes all the other shit worth it. ❤ Do what makes you happy and not what's expected of you

      @Asyas_illos I have the same problem. When I check on my phone I see more and a better overview, but on the computer I often miss pieces.
