We have chosen the winners for week 39 of ART EXPLOSION, the theme this week was WHIMSICAL, there were lots of fantastic entries (and some problems, more on that later) this week that were very fun to look at :D @vachemorte and I have finished our deliberations are are proud to announce 7 prizes this week! There were 8 but someone was caught plagiarizing...
Plagiarism problem!
This is the second week that people have submitted stolen/unoriginal art so winner #1 has been removed. We have adjusted the winners/prizes already. We want to thank people in the community such as @overkillcoin and
@scytrix who have helped us spot these, apparently reverse image search isn't good enough to detect these things :(
We have reevaluated the rules, and will now leave a buffer zone of two days before sending prizes so if anyone sees anything stolen they will have time to call it out.
It is such a pleasure to be able to reward artists but I want to make sure it is going to the right person!
On to the winners:
@ianceaz showed amazing talent with WHIMSICAL MONKEY GOD KING, he wins 8 STEEM!
