2 posts were split to a new topic: Ying Yang Concour

Well done everyone and congratulations to @Elixiah - It’s a really nice piece! :partying_face:

I was bracing myself for a low vote on this as I didn’t think I’d got far along enough with it. :sweat_smile:

I’ve made some improvements since but there’s a lot of detail to work on, and I want to do something with the background. It was actually a very experimental piece with how I painted it, so I was quite pleased with how that worked out.

By the way; I don’t know if anyone else remembers, but last year it was suggested we make August Kiki month:

So maybe a Kiki based theme for the next one? :man_shrugging:

aah yes August month is for kiki. So may be the topic that winner chooses for this can be carried over to the September challenge.

Thank you to everyone! I didn’t know about August being Kiki month, but I think it’s a great idea. We can let the winner of August Kiki month select the topic for September, or I can give y’all a topic if you prefer. I’m good either way! :slight_smile:

Well, I betted on the cats but the birds won… I should have known, as cats only catch their prey 1/3 of the time! Hahaha! Congrats @Elixiah :smile:

We could still have a theme, but with Kiki at the centre; I think that makes it more interesting and will make each year distinctive rather than just repeating ‘Draw/Paint Kiki in your own style’ every time.

Well… it would for me anyway since I still haven’t finished the last one! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :sweat_smile:

Well done everyone! They all looked so good. And congrats to @Elixiah. :clap: :fire:

I’m really enjoying this monthly challenge group!

Yes, I like that idea. The subject is set but the challenge will be on something like style, brushes, method, theme, something random etc.

Congratulations, @Elixiah and to everyone who submitted artwork!

Will you please select a theme for the August Kiki art challenge, @Elixiah? Also, please post your winning artwork in the finished artwork category so we can feature it in the gallery. May I have your permission to post it in Krita-Artists’ Mastodon account?

I have selected a theme for our August Kiki Challenge. Create a scene that has Kiki riding a robotic and/or anthropomorphic horse. Something that fits right in with Kiki’s look. Painting style and colors are your choice. I think it would be fun for everyone to post at least one of their WIP sketches during the month too. :slight_smile:
