Since joining Steemit one of my favourite things has been the contests and competitions! I've met tons of cool people so far just by participating and really began connecting with other artists here which is a basically a win-win for everyone. As a total noob it gave me a reason to socialize and the prompts can really help you go outside of your box creatively. I've decided to hold my own, I'm calling it ART EXPLOSION, THIS IS WEEK 5!

Also we have a special sponsor and guest judge this week @vachemorte who will be helping me judge and is donating 30SBD!!!!!!!!!!!! I am also putting 10SBD into the pot so the total is 40SBD this week! Please go and give his wonderful music posts some love for being such a wonderful patron of the arts!

Here's the competition, as you can see above the theme this week is ANIMALS. This can be interpreted as directly or indirectly as you please, but I am adding a note to that, if the relation to the theme is not obvious please explain in your post how it is related for you! All forms of art are acceptable, painting, illustration, photography, music, poetry, a story a comic or any other medium you choose, be creative and surprise me!

The Rules
+++++++
Upvote and Resteem this post
Make some art (max two entries per person and please new art inspired by this contest or at least not already posted on steemit)
Make a post of your own for your entry (add artexplosion in the tags)
Link it here in the comments obviously so I can find it.
Do this before the post pays out!
We'll be choosing the winners based on whatever tickles and touches us the most!

This is not a requirement but it would be a nice gesture to view the other entries and upvote them if you like so we can support each other and pass this on to any artists or friends you think may be interested :)

I can't wait to see what you create!

punktgenau.jpgI did a lot of pixelwork long time ago on amiga platform. Amiga was the pixel artists dream back then in the late 80thies.

Awesome :D
Thank you for sharing!

Awesome work!

Thank you! :D
Your still life painting is beautiful, really glad to see more artists on Steemit ^^

Thank you and ditto! I am loving the community vibe here a lot.

Thanks for replying that inspired me to go on over and check your page out and, of course, you rock...

Thank you very much! :3
I've tried many other art communities before and Steemit is so much more fun and engaging than any other :D
I'm sure there are different experiences, but I definitely recommended friends to try it out sooner or later ^^

Agreed! I keep trying to get my RL artist friends to join, its funny how skeptical people are and yet they will complain about FB. lol

Hi! This is my entry! I have never been so interested in sea mammals as the last two months ;)
