Monthly Art Challenge – November 2024 – Topic: “Fluffy”

Challenge details from @mikuma_poponta:

You can interpret “Fluffy” in any way you like:

• animals
• plush toys
• food
• cushions
• emotions
• art styles
• and more.

For an additional optional challenge, how about “The Ultimate Fluffy According to Me”? You get to decide what makes it the ultimate.

Please post only artworks and discussion related to submitted artwork in this thread. There is a WIP thread for each monthly art challenge in which you can ask questions and post your works in progress (WIPs).

Rules

• The composition should be your own and not an exact copy from someone or somewhere else. If you are using a reference photo taken by anyone other than yourself, please ensure the license allows for its use and include a credit to the photographer with your submission.
• Artwork should be done in Krita. Submissions must be done from scratch in Krita, no paint-over or tracing allowed. Photobashing is allowed only when explicitly specified in the topic.
• The topic changes every month. Your submission should be somehow related to the topic. If possible, please add a few lines explaining your idea and image.
• No AI-generated images are allowed, not even partial use of AI and paint over. It is unfair for those who are drawing from scratch.
• You can post a maximum of 3 entries and also edit the entries until the deadline. All your entries will be clubbed during the vote and you only get one vote. Reply with your entries to this post in this thread. All entries must appear in a single post. Please do not post your submissions in any other category on Krita-Artists until voting has closed and the winner is declared.
• In order to have the image featured, the entries need to be safe for work so please avoid any NSFW or controversial content. The moderators can use their discretion to disqualify the image from the contest with prior notice. Of course, the artist will be given the chance to submit an alternate image or change it.
• Submissions will be accepted until 2024-11-26T18:00:00Z, at which time the topic will automatically close. You can check how much time is left at the bottom of the thread.

We will hold a poll at the end of the challenge period. The artwork with the most votes will be the winner.

Prize

• The winner will be featured on this website in the featured artwork row.
• The winner will have the privilege to set the topic of their liking. If the winner is not available or reachable, then the 1st runner up will be asked to provide the topic and challenge
• The winner will also be awarded the Monthly Art Contest Winner badge.

Please spread the word about this art challenge by posting your artwork on various social media websites with the hashtag – #KritaChallenge. If possible, include a link to the forum post.

I hope we will enjoy this exercise so let us begin.

P.S. Note we can change the rules based on the feedback on this contest and modify the format. Any suggestions are welcome. To submit feedback, please create a new topic in the Site Feedback category.

I call this cotton candy clouds. I sure hope this qualifies as fluffy

[Gaillycool]

Nice! My youngest son always says that fluffy clouds remind him of cotton candy.

First entry:
Fluffy Black Cat

one brush, one layer (for the drawing)

Second entry:
Tribble

Have you ever heard about Tribbles?
Hairy brushes and a few layers

[CrazyCatBird]

Well, I’m submitting this, done using the crayon brushes by @RamonM. They’re fun to work with.

This is Purrczy, the family cat. She purrfurrs my daughter’s company, so I say that she’s her cat.

I’m not sure if I’ll do another painting of Miss Fluff before the deadline, but if I do, I’ll post it here.

[AhabGreybeard]

Oh yes, a small self-heating fur stole

[DIDEE]

Lovely painting and gorgeous cat

[CrazyCatBird]

@DIDEE Thank you!

[Pfblakeney]

First monthly contest submission. Cat needs no further explanation.

Still figuring out different brushes and stuff, but I’m pretty happy with it.

[sooz]

Great work, @Pfblakeney.

[Elixiah]

Nice perspective!

[Kak_Rafa]

I call my art is “the cat on the fluffy cotton candy clouds”

can I post it at my Instagram too?

[Elixiah]

I think the rules say not to post your entry on any other social media site until after the winner has been annouced.

Hi @Kak_Rafa

We have no control over what you post on other social sites, we only ask that once you submit your artwork to the challenge that you not post it as finished artwork on this forum until the challenge poll has been completed and the winner announced.

When the challenge is finished, I post the winning artwork on Krita’s social accounts and we invite everyone to do the same to spread the word. We also love it when all the artists who submitted work make a new post in Finished Artwork to show their work (after the challenge is finished, of course).

[Kak_Rafa]

thank you so much

[CrazyCatBird]

@sooz… The painting is in my portfolio… Should I delete that then?

[sooz]

If it’s been up for a while I wouldn’t bother. If it’s a new post, yes, it would be good to remove it until the challenge is finished.

Beautiful
