Happy DTIYS Friday! I had hoped to post this before I left for my camping trip, but I’m back from the lake and finally found the time to finish it. The small wins deserve to be celebrated as much as the big ones (jk, passing 500 followers is actually a very big deal to me and I’m so grateful), and y’all asked for a DTIYS challenge, so hopefully this delivers.
We’re keeping this low pressure! Here are the rules:
1. Anyone can join!
2. No tracing and no AI-generated or AI-modified images (obviously). All mediums are welcome!
3. This challenge features Gerda, an OC from a current story project of mine, and her raven companion, Munin. They come from a world inspired by Scandinavian folk culture and Norse mythology. Please be generally respectful of the design, but feel free to change the pose and composition!
4. Please include the original image at the end of your post if you can, and be sure to tag me
@leeside_illustration so I can be sure to see your beautiful work! I will be reposting and sharing entries on my story!
5. Deadline is September 31st. All entries will be featured on a story highlight at the end of the challenge.
6. Have fun!
