Some days ago I saw "Steemit Chronicles Mysterious Character " by @anritco. What a great chance to practice two things I have never done before, make a complete character design and render a digital fantasy painting in Photoshop. I am so thankful for this journey I made today, extraordinary fun! Thank you @anritco for the chance whatever happens in the competition.
I am a great fan of creating alternative ways of learning and inspiring. There is lots to learn about blockchain and all the great platforms and tokens connected to Steemit. Even though I haven't had time to play Steemit Chronicles (yet) I am supporting the idea 100 percent. For me Steemit is a lot about sharing ideas and skipping some of our ego. Community and connection is needed on the internet and away from the keyboard. So let me introduce you to:
Guardian of the Chain
The competitions provided the following conditions: - Some kind of ethereal entity, but in our 3-Dimensional world - Humanoid - Should be a guide for us. Not with a dark spirit, but a spirit of joy and wisdom. - Must have a hood, no visible face
(I saw some of the other competitors guardians and tried not to duplicate them even though a staff and white cloak maybe resembles wisdom more, i.e. I tried add some new ideas. Another tricky one is how to make a joyful faceless ethereal entity ;)
The Guardian of Chain is the light you look into every time you turn on your computer screen. The light shining all over the great web. Travelling at the speed of light the Guardian of the Chain sees all and protects the chain from being broken. In every community there is rivalry and war but this entity has the Power to Link, connect tthe units together and ultimately if needed break them.
For the whole process see my post here.
Good job, but I wonder if you copied mine in some ways, when I look at it.
Thank you! Copy is a strong word :) I have got inspiration from many sources as you probably have as well, but not copying anything. I guess it is impossible to not end up with some similarities when designing a fairly narrow theme. As you can see in my sketches this was only one of many ideas and I ended up with this solution for the robe :) But thanks for your concern, it is never nice when you think someone is plagiarizing your stuff. That all the entries are shown ahead of the deadline is good if you want people to create new ideas which I think this one have shown. Although a closed entry process would minimize the risk of copying @anritco would end up with more lookalike entries.
Ok I see, sorry didnt want to offend you, just was a bit shocked and disappointed to see two very similar entries..
I'm really sorry that you interpreted it that way, and I could have checked once more before rendering that it didn't look to similar to other contestants. Good that you tell me what you think!
You stole my.idea with the upvote symbol on the breast, it is obvious, but ok - I learn from it and wait until the last second with my entries...
:) I haven't stolen anything. To use the upvote symbol is like the Steem symbol or a whale almost has to happen in a competition like this. And where to put it, on the leg...? I don' like being accused of stealing, which I haven't. We inspire each other and I hope we can do that instead of wasting energy on this.
