Yay! Thanks for using my art this month! Have fun guys, and get creative! I don't suppose the dolphin HAS to be in an ocean, so think outside the box! :D

I can't wait until the entries start rolling in! :thumb:

Yes! Come on, more entries! We need more! \(^o^)/

Lol, that's cool; though I'm still not sure if I'll be able to enter or not. I'll just have to see; I'd love to be able to submit an entry, though.

Arg! The idea is there, but the time! THE TIME! *panics, due to several papers being due in the next few weeks*

I really really want to try for it! Dang! T.T

Me too! T_T At least the due date is December, so I've got more time to find the right time to do it in. ^^

Time to do stuff in? What's that? lol.

Thankfully, after this tuesday, about 80% of my work for the semester will be done, and I can spend time on other things that I want to do. I had a teeny bit of free-time earlier in the month and have already gotten the base colors down and the shading started, so unless something insane happens, I should be able to get an entry in. Yay!

Meh heh... just coming back to CAA to quickly post my entry. I just had fun doing it; with far more time and good work, it could've been a lot better. :grin: But it was fun to experiment with different things, and I'm glad I got a chance to colour this pic. ^^

Thank you; but I like yours better. ^_^ I just used random filters for mine = cheating. ;) Mine's just stylised... but yours has detail, shading and inspiration and stuff. ^_^

I love it, Photosoph! You really pulled off the watery feel; it looks great! :D

Aw, thank you; but seriously, the credit goes to randomness and photoshop. The only thing I really did was mess around with a few textures (which are completely covered by the filter effects now, lol!) to see how they looked (I'd scanned in a few things I thought culd make good textures a while ago. I wanted to check them out) and do a basic block-colour of the different areas. The rest I just experimented on with filters and effects.

It was fun. ^_^ And a good learning experience too. I would've loved to add more detail than just rocks and sand, though. :sweat: :grin:

I had fun with the lineart. *evil chuckle* I don't like the background at all, though. Still, I had fun.

Wow! Awesome entry, SA! I love your take on the linework. (I've already told PSoph I like her entry but here it is in writing just in case she forgets ^_^). Yours too, Jaden - I love the awesome background effects and piracy. ^_^.

(*Huff puff*) Ok I managed to get an entry done. (*Huff Puff*) Apologies for the background - it was quickish.
