Yes it is.

Which one owns last month’s crab-handbag? :laughing:
I like how you turned the reflection idea up side down! :wink:

None of them. It’s a high end bag, they could never afford it :pensive: but it’s surely in the wardrobe of the latest fish-dock celebrity :laughing:

WIP of my ‘main’ submission for this month. I can’t resist an opportunity to get a ninja turtle in there somewhere! The lighting is going to be a lot darker and there will be a reflection glint on Leo’s katana.

I’m going into hospital tomorrow for a small-ish operation so I won’t be drawing for a week or two but I shall still try to get it done in time.

Quick update, still a WIP. Likely going to add in some lens flare on the top left panel… otherwise it’s coming along.

Italy! I’m jealous :smile:. I was just thinking about going there and taking in the artwork. I was thinking Paris and Rome but I’ve never been and was trying to figure out if that’s something doable in 1 trip? Have fun! :blush:

Yep, leaving June 1st for Italy and Greece for 2 weeks. Maybe I can get some cool ref shots for inspiration! Thanks! :slight_smile:

LOL, the cow behind the tree gives the impression of wearing one hell of a set of horns.

@Elixiah - I was wondering… how do you decide which you’ll enter into the finals? All your stuff is really good, how do you come to your decision?

Getting closer…
I think the 6-pack is set. Now I’m thinking about the background, text, and anchor line…

looking good @steve.improvthis

@Sketchy do you feel better?

@edgarej I do feel better today, thank you. It’s just a shame that they couldn’t do the operation in the end, so I ended up not eating or drinking for 12 hours, got all drugged up and felt dreadful for days and have nothing to show for it. And I’ll have to do it all over again when they try again with a different method in the future. Am sat feeling grumpy in hospital just waiting to be let out. I just can’t sleep in here. Grumble grumble grumble…

I’m sorry about that experience. Nothing sucks more than waiting forever only to have nothing happened. :sob:
