Making a start
starting a story
initial colouring
building depth

and finally

Voting is now open for this challenge and closes in a weeks time (or until someone tells us that we forgot about it )

Have my vote, oaktree.
When your pic started out I was expecting a concept-style image of just the beast but you worked hard and well to expand it to include landscape, characters, story and action! The sky is beautiful and painterly, and you've managed to control the layers of depth, especially with the foreground trees and the dogs/wolves. They really pop out of the picture to emphasize that frantic feeling of the chase. Well done!

And honorable mentions to the nearly-finished wips... with segujo's fantastic composition, Charlotte's quick sketch that still managed to capture the gesture pose of a large striding beast and doopyo's sinister suggestion of a creepy monster.

It looks like Valence is the winner of this months challenge. Congrats again Valence.

Congrats Val!

*certainly forgot about the challenge - again*

Thank you.

We're forgetting a lot of things these days.
Challenges.
Hamster birthdays.
How to actually draw.


It'd be nice to forget that I can't paint dragons too but it doesn't seem to work like that.

sorry for the delay I've not been around, congrats Valence very well done.
