Thanks for looking out! It should but it resized when I uploaded it. I switched the file to a .jpg and I think that fixed it.

So even though both don't necessarily feel done for me and I wish I had had a bit more time to polish things a bit more I'm glad I participated. Really enjoy this art community, big thanks to the cubebrush crew for providing interesting challenges. Also, thanks to everyone for your feedback; it was a pleasure seeing everyone's progress. I'll hopefully be around here and there; plan on making a sketch blog ^_^ but I do have to ghost out for a bit, taking the MCAT in May.

One final note:

This is how I had to paint this morning.

EDIT: Okay maybe I'll have time to polish the illustration a little since we get extra time. ^_^ Yay.

Really like you champion design. Great work!

s-stark 2017-03-02 05:00:34 UTC #50

@chagens Thanks so much!

s-stark 2017-03-02 05:01:54 UTC #51

Edited my final illustration post with progress from yesterday, today, and my final. Once again, thanks everyone.

Really nice entry !
Best of luck for you and can't wait to see your sketch blog open

Oh and nice cat ^^ Got almost same problem with mine haha

s-stark 2017-03-02 08:11:18 UTC #53

@mr_dessin Thank you! You too; I'll continue to stalk you around the forums.

I'll get it going soon-ish. Got offered a job/trying to finish my research/studying my ass off. "The stress-sketch blog" feels like an accurate direction/description haha.

And lol yeah they always have to be right in the middle of what you're doing. She's currently laying in my lap, leeching my warmth.

Ohh wow! Really great work! You have made this trancparensy effect really well! I hold my fingers crossed for you!

s-stark 2017-03-02 18:01:24 UTC #55

@berrysquare Thank you Mari! It was difficult but I think I got it to a level that I'm content with.
I have mine crossed for you as well btw! ^_^

TEAM SCIFI FOR THE WIN Thank you for the nice comment and lovely cat you have. I'm a cat person myself. Really good work and best of luck to you. I really liked you character. Hopefully your here with us more as we try to improve and bring more enjoyable challenges like this one.

berrysquare 2017-03-03 10:59:35 UTC #57

Thank you. I just discowerd you have a deviantart accound. I will deffenetly watch you!

s-stark 2017-03-03 19:24:30 UTC #58

@malcom YESSS! Of course, you definitely deserve all the praise. You put so much work into your entry. Cats speak to my introverted little soul haha.

Thank you! I definitely intend to stick around and participate in any future challenges; haven't explored the forums to the depth I'd like to but I was curious if cubebrush still plans on monthlies and weeklies?

@berrysquare Look forward to following you there as well.

mr_dessin 2017-03-05 07:32:35 UTC #59

Haha @Iago_Cavalcante @malcom @s-stark - I may be wrong but I guess there is tons of cats lovers here (maybe not for everybody with @nevs36 and his 18 cats - my grandma had more than 20 cats, so I know the pain ^^')

@s-stark - you can stalk me on DA too if you feel the need ^^

And yay Team Sci-Fi woot woot !
Can't wait to know the 30 finalists, even if we probably got a lot of names in mind already...

HorizonDweller 2017-03-07 12:52:11 UTC #60

you did such an amazing work there, i still remember when i saw your first entry

s-stark 2017-03-09 22:02:20 UTC #61

@mr_dessin
Sorry I totally ghosted out for a smidge/the forums were being a little buggy for me yesterday.

Cat lovers unite! Haha. Not sure if I could handle any more than this little terror honestly.

@HorizonDweller
Thank you! You did amazing too. I popped in here and there to see how you were doing. ^_^

Forever forum lurking.

HorizonDweller 2017-03-11 16:59:42 UTC #62

haha, thanks, (sorry for the late response) btw, how do you feel about the results of the contest?

mr_dessin 2017-03-12 14:51:52 UTC #63

Same here - even more late response aaarrg ^^'
Can't even handle myself more than one cat at a time
Tho I had 5 cats in the past at once not for a long time (I gave them except one).

Hope everything ok with your (medecine?) studies !

s-stark 2017-03-12 19:24:30 UTC #64

No worries. I'm juggling a bunch of crap right now so my response time is less-than-ideal. It's even worse on dA (sorry @mr_dessin)

@HorizonDweller
I'm happy/content overall.
There are people I've competed with in the old forums and I'm really glad that they made it as a finalist. There were so many amazing artists/entries too it was really incredible to see the end products of this challenge.
I'm just glad I managed to finish something tbh. I was seriously going to give up because I couldn't put as much time into my entry as I would have liked.

@mr_dessin
I'm currently puppy sitting. I was curious if I could handle a dog. It hasn't even been 24 hours; I'm wondering what I got myself into.
Cats are easier.

My studies are going okay. The MCAT is an 8 hour exam basically and kinda determines what medical schools will accept you. Its a mix of critical analysis, physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology.

HorizonDweller 2017-03-13 11:34:04 UTC #65

that's great, im really glad you did not give up, your drawing is really good. I considered dropping everything as well at some point when the pros started to come in but then decided i wanted to finish it.
