I want to show you the digital painting that I made about Steemit and that in the future I will use to make another steemit mural.
(I say digital paint because it's pretty big)
Let the image load because it is really big.
The idea
The idea came to mind in a moment of inspiration as I spoke to my best friend about Steemit.
He was discouraged because he did not see results in steemit.
I told him to see Steemit as a sea; he was just getting close to the shore to get his hands wet, when at the bottom of the sea there are many treasures, big fish and communities. If he really wanted to get good results, he should dive into the water with the other people, join the communities!
After telling him that, my head exploded with inspiration and I could see the painting in my mind (or at least the idea) so I jotted down the idea in a text file and started working on the "sketch", "the structure" in Paint 3D .
to not forget the idea and to have a clear basis of what I wanna paint.
Translation:
the bottom of the sea with steemit objects
the sunken 3d logo
aside the treasure and the fish approaching
whales swimming with fish around
up, the sea
an island where they prepare a rocket to take off to the moon
As you can see many things changed in the final design, this was just the idea.
Construction
I started working on the digital painting using Photoshop. I knew I wanted something with many details, that the depths could be appreciated. That's why I decided to divide the drawing into three parts: The seabed, the beach and the sky. And then put the three images together in one.
(part 3) -> Measures: 2784 px wide x 1283 px tall and the .PSD file weighs 49.3 MB.
(part2) -> Measures: 2784 px wide x 3000 px tall and the .PSD file weighs 218.5 MB
(part 1) -> Measures: 2784 px wide x 3000 px tall and the .PSD file weighs 443 MB
After several days of work and more than 40 consecutive hours of painting, I could see how the idea came to life in a beautiful digital painting.
Meaning
The steem logo on the bottom of the sea represents that everything happens in the deep.
Remember the story of my best friend? In order to experience how steemit and the steem really work, you must reach the bottom, you must dive!
The chest and the fish around represent the communities. Each community is a treasure!
Communities help the retention of users and in addition to rewarding them, they allow people to feel at home.
In the depths of steemit we can find whales swimming with their minnows around.
The rocket and the astronauts represent the Steem to the moon !!
Details
If you open the digital painting clicking here
You will realize that it is very large by zoom it, and you can also appreciate all its details.
I really enjoyed and learned a lot in the process of creating this digital painting, which I also plan to use to make a mural in my city !!
I hope you like it as much as I do!
