Hey folks, it's been a couple of months since I was last here. I've been off working on both my digital art techniques and my sketching nd drawing. Finally drew an eye this morning, that while I know won't rock anyone's socks off here - is still what I consider a big step for me. So, without further ado... An eye.

I'm new enough to know I don't know what questions to ask. But I do know I like your work and can't wait to see what you have to teach in the future - 'cause I want to be there.

Leap of Faith My film is an animation film for children (not 3d rendered), created with CSP. It's a film for the heart but also funny. The story is about a girl, called Holumpa, her cat and her teddy. They live in a dull grey multi-story building. Something is weighing on the family, on the whole city. One night they wake up and see a tiny colorful creature hopping out of the window, they decide to follow it and reach a cliff. Way down below pink, sunny clouds hover over some strange magical buildings. The tiny creatures jumps right into the clouds and the three decide to take a risk and jump after it. Of course they find a wonderful, magical, strange world and encounter many dangerous and funny adventures. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith to find new wonderful places. Maybe we have to leave a bad place behind or we just have to leave a comfortable but dull place to find new inspirations or happiness. It takes a lot to leave the known behind, jump into the unknown, even if you don't like the place you are in. I chose this theme as representation for the last years of my life, I didn't want to go to literal and deal with the death of my child in this challenge so I transformed it into this story and fosed on the new beginning. After some dark years I had the chance to change my life radically, I needed courage and trust in myself and it was sometimes overwhelming, but I did find this metaphorical great magical world. And of course I too had help from some wonderful persons and also a cat :D.

Beautiful. The symbology, the imagery, the colors. Wow. I like it! Thank you so much for doing this. It may sound silly but seeing you and other talented artist who are so much further down the road than me, finding your ‘voices’ and doing this contest is strangely encouraging to me and I am happy that you let me coax you into it.

I've gone straight into digital, bypassing most traditional (except sketching I guess) methods. However, I will be the first to point out that I'm not career orientated for art, just personal stuff for fun. So my direction in learning is a lot off kilter from the norm I think. But, I am finding and seeing improvements in my digital techniques, so there is that. :-)

I'm still working on mine and it's nowhere near ready, but I wanted you to know that I like your challenges and will try to participate more in the future. So please keep these challenges going! :-)

I would love to hear your thinking approach to creature design - it's currently one of my topics I'm exploring, so seeing or finding out how others at all different skill levels do it is fascinating to me.
