Question: Is there a specific size requirement for the competition ?

No, you can use any size and ratio you want. But the forum software doesn’t allow images larger than 3MB and another restriction is the size in megapixels, which I’m always unsure if it’s 9MP or 12MP, but I’ve seen 2000 x 4000 pixel images on the forum, and probably even larger without realizing it. So good formats to submit your picture are JPG and WEBP, where WEBP has smaller file-sizes in MB compared to a JPG with the same quality.
If you want us to see an even larger view of your image, you can post an image that is accepted by the forum and add a link to your original size image on Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud and so on.

@AhabGreybeard, @raghukamath, @Sooz, do you also believe, like me, @Jelanij’s question and my answer belong into the
Monthly Art Challenge WIPs and Discussion Thread – December 2024 topic and should therefore be moved into it?

That’s a cool tropical bird! I like how you did the Bokeh background! It’s both dark enough to make the bird pop and sparkles enough to keep it interesting and fun!

Thank you. I´ve tried it the first time and I like it. I´ve found the way to make it in the “How to” section. That´s so great.

@Corentin has asked for a supermodel from @Bobrowsdower … that sounded like a fun idea so I thought I’d give it a go (sans the cool frog, drink, and beetle):

It’s still a rough blocking but here’s my start:

It’s still really rough, but at least this month I think I’ll have the time to work on getting the details done in time. :sunglasses:

@sooz or other mods, let me know if the swimsuit needs to be a one-piece to avoid a NSFW tag and I’ll make that change.

This is really coming together! Awesome work on the details! I’m loving the vibrant colors!

Is this going to be a supermodel drawing contest? I guess I’ll throw my hat into the ring maybe. Don’t worry if I decide to it’ll be very tasteful.

There’s no rule about 1-piece or 2-piece swimsuits. If you were making a sexy pinup (which I know you aren’t) then the forum guidelines would require the NSFW tag and it wouldn’t be allowed in the monthly challenge.
