Hello, my name is Mai but you can call me Shohira. I’m new to this community and here’s my self-portrait for this month’s challenge. I used Procreate and some acrylic brushes for this drawing. Hope you like it :)

Here is my Final submission. The background is "The Sea at Satta in Suruga Province" by Utagawa Hiroshige.

Hey there! this is my submission, I was born in Japan, but I didn't went back there since I was a Kid. So, I tryied to express a personal desire and something wich I consume a lot (tv show With people travelling and discovering the traditional Japan). For the genre, It is clearly an animation, and I tryied to give some Studio Ghibli vibes. Hope you enjoy this. Thank you all in advance :)

I've been on a Miyazaki kick lately, so I started with great ambition to do a few creatures until I realized how CRAZY DIFFICULT comparative anatomy is, and I've gone down this rabbit hole of how to actually create a Catbus. I've been studying turtle anatomy for the carapace and Cheetah anatomy for the speedy limbs. I'd love to further explore the relationship Catbus form with bioluminescent rodents, but as time ticks, I wanted to get the community's feedback on other animals to incorporate, and how the heck are you guys constructing animal pelvises? GUYS I HAD NO IDEA how freaking weird our pelvis is to have adapted to carrying all our organs. All quadrupeds need is a socket joint for their femurs, but we went and became all bipedal. Only after trying to draw turtle and cat pelvises did I realize how freaking weird we are. Cheers to humanity, let me know if y'all see how I can improve the construction and rendering. Thank you!
