Traditional Category - Gouache on Watercolor Paper

"I asked fer me wife's hand at sea.
(She said yes.)
Since then not a day goes by
I don't feel blessed.
Said, 'I needs ta raise me ol' crew number.'
Told her she was me li'l cucumber!"

MAD. The lighting and colours got me feeling some kinda way 🤯🤯🤯
 
Decided to feature one of my favorite villagers, Tiffany, in a perfume ad. Submitted under the (1) traditional art category.

Called the perfume Love Potion Letter G in reference both to the new TBT collectible as well as an old song from 1959 called Love Potion No. 9 by The Clovers.

Forgive the notebook paper. It was a practice sketch that ended up better than the attempts thereafter and I just ended up settling on it instead.
 
Here’s my miscellaneous crafts entry. Stitches Valentine’s Macarons, the eyes and mouth are also mini macarons I attached with white chocolate ganache. These took soooooo long to make, but I had a fun time 🧡

You can try uploading in another site that compresses the image, like discord or twitter! I personally use discord :)
Thank you for the advice! I shrunk it down to comply with Discord's own file limitations and tried posting it but it still says too big ;-; I think the site might be taking issue with the canvas size and not the file size; is there some kind of width x height size limitations on forums for artwork? I've never used a forum before so this is all new to me 😭

The image is 2288x2514 and is about 7.51 MB if this helps any!

If I'm on a computer, I shrink images with the photo editor. On mobile, I post to Tumblr and save that version.

It's a bit of a pain, doing the extra steps, but it works.
 
here’s my entry for the misc crafts category! this was my first time making an all clay model + I made a terrible decision of trying to make clothes for them out of fabric 😭

two galentines, Goldie & Daisy

Ohhh 7.51 MB is a little big for some websites! I usually have difficulty uploading images onto Discord if they're like more than 5 MB. I can't remember the exact limit for Discord but yeah, I think it's still with your file size ^^; TBT also doesn't like big file sizes as well. What I do on discord is that i try to post again right after failing the first time. It usually works the second time around.
If that doesn't work, you can try shrinking it manually, save it in a smaller resolution, or maybe upload it to websites without restriction e.g. Twtter!

The maximum file size for uploading to Imgur is 20 MB, but if your file is a PNG over 5 MB, it will convert it to JPEG. I upload PNG files over 5 MB and it retains the quality well when it converts to JPEG, so hopefully that could work for you!
 
Guys stop making adorable valentines, how am I ever supposed to vote for a favorite in the poll 😭
