Weekly Drills 87 - #FloatingIsland

Embark on a dreamlike journey with our "Floating Island" theme in this week's Weekly Drills. Craft a surreal landscape suspended in the sky and let your imagination take flight.

Brief

In this Weekly Drills edition, we challenge you to design a breathtaking artwork featuring a "Floating Island." Create an otherworldly environment with lush vegetation, cascading waterfalls, and ethereal elements, whether in 2D or 3D. Let your artistic vision transcend gravity as you transport viewers to a place where the ordinary defies the laws of physics. With just one week at your disposal, your creativity is the only limit to what you can achieve in this fantastical theme!

Deadline

Submission close Friday, October 6th @ 7:00pm (GMT+1)

To get some feedback on your work-in-progress project before you submit it, head over to Discord channel and chat with other artists having a crack. To see all the Weekly Drill projects just follow this link.

• AI Generative images may be used as reference, but not final submissions.
