Hello Krita Artists! 
This is a discussion thread and WIP thread for our Monthly Art Challenge for November 2023. Ask any questions about the challenge or share your works in progress.
The November Art Challenge was designed by @Lehko.
Full details and rules for this challenge:
Okay question. Does this theme need to be more of a environment / landscape or can it be a singular focus for example a machine that is solar-powered but with a punk aesthetic?
Never heard of that before. But have looked it up. So, high-tech Hobbiton. Got it!
the DIY Aesthetic (or more punk if you want : D ) is totally fine. I had some Simon Stålenhag’s works in mind, but feel free to explore any path : )
So, high-tech Hobbiton. Got it!
Yeah, that’s the spirit ! 
edit :
By the way, it doesn’t have to be solar energy per se. Wind, water or anything else is fine too.
Got it. Thanks for letting me know. It’s a very creative premise!
Well, that topic took me down a rabbit hole.
What a great subject! Very tempted to jump in.
Great pick @lehko
Interesting subject. I will try something - and hello to @lehko : I used one of his illustration to illustrate a post about graphic programs and Krita.
Ok, me gustaría participar.
Entonces publico mi progreso en este hilo? O hay que registrarse o hay una sección especifica?
Gracias!
Welcome! 
I was replying in the other thread, but then your post got moved to here!
So - this thread is the correct place for sketches, work in progress and discussion. 
I was intending to reply but I noticed @Mythmaker doing that so I decided to let them carry on while I went to make coffee.
The other topic is where you post finished artworks and people can make comments on it and discuss it. It’s also where the voting will take place at the end of November.
Welcome to the forum, @Nicotecnia. I can’t wait to see what kind of art you like to make.
I see… 
So… the implication being that I take so long to write my posts that you can comfortably go and complete another task while you wait for me to finish it… 
Intentaré dar lo mejor
I have no doubt. We’re happy you’re joining in, @Nicotecnia.
If possible, please use a translator to post your comments in English. We’re an international forum with English as the chosen standard.
I use Google translate, some use Deepl.
Ok, no problem, i will do it!
Thanks!
almost 2 hours of playing with Assistant tools, while looking for additional ideas and references on duckduckgo. It made me remember an example from a movie (I think almost everyone has seen it) that is very similar to this month’s theme, which is a movie called wall-E.
love that color theme iruhas
solarpunk is kind of hard to illustrate for me… atomhawk did a solarpunk competition back in 2020 and I couldn’t come up with anything so I just made cyber punk… lol. I’m going to try again this month but I’m not promising I will not turn in cyber punk… or anything punk 
I’m struggling with the solarpunk theme too, but if you look at the works of Simon Stålenhag like Lehko suggested, it really helps get an idea of what he’s looking for.
