December. It's the end of the year and now it's the end of an era. *kessalia , the moderator of the Monthly Gargoyles Character contest [link] has decided that December will be final challenge for MGC. Over the past few years, artists have grown up and moved on and interest slowly waned for one of the longest-running art contests on the Internet.

I had some great times with MGC and entered it as often as I could because competing with younger, more talented artists forced me to improve my own skills. I went from just drawing with Prismacolors to using markers and learning Photoshop and to even using a tablet. It's good to stretch yourself and to see just how far you can push your own limits.

My challenge to you is to enter the last ever Monthly Gargoyles Character contest. Kess has made it easy -- you can do any of the past contest challenges. (Preferably one that you didn't enter or win but exceptions can be made if you want to do one that you entered but had a better idea for later. *L* Like me.)

Mommy Spike wants YOU

So let's get drawing!!

SUNDAY NIGHT ART CHAT: If anyone is interested, there will be an art chat in Station Eight [link] every Sunday from 7pm EST to 11pm EST. We'll be talking about what's selling and what's not, as well how best to promote your art!

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST:
PLEASE do not COLOR or MODIFY my art work!! The best way to improve your own art is to practice, practice, PRACTICE!
