Yes! So Much Yes!
Reporting Live!
I'm currently sitting inside the house, behind my damn laptop, because it's raining outside and I don't feel like getting wet!
Earlier, I got to thinking. I thought to myself, "Self! You better get off your ass and do something productive today or it'll be just another Wednesday gone down the crapper like all those other Wednesdays you didn't seem to give a crap about!"
I agreed with myself. Why should I sit around celebrating another Happy Hump Day when I can be out there potentially winning some cold, hard, STEEM!
That's Right!
They're giving away prizes for artwork! I'll include the link below that holds all of the important details and a few other fancy things.
A special shout out goes to @paolobeneforti and the rest of clan over at Steemtrail for putting on this little event and giving us artists a little something to smile about! I'm not sure if any of you folks have noticed, but us starving artists here on Steemit.com have been going through a bit of a recession lately.
The Show Must Go On!
You know times are tough when majority of the images being shared around here on this great platform of ours are simple financial charts showing us how great our investment is doing! Don't get me wrong here, I appreciate the information... but damn! Original content and the arts in general are big business and help draw people to the platform so they can see the show!
Steemtrail and @paolobeneforti seem to get it. Here's a quote from the post announcing this fantastic contest:
Paying the content creators - in cryptocurrency - is one of the greatest features of Steemit. And it's a great step towards a future where original contents and creativity will be highly coveted and needed. That's why we can see every kind of artist and original creator already on Steemit.
They know what's up!
I'm Supposed to be Entering a Piece of Art into an Art Competition, Not Rambling
Alright, time to get down to brass tacks here.
Originally, I had planned to use this piece to go along with a work of fiction. The story wasn't going anywhere. I've been in a fiction funk lately. Can't seem to find enough time, peace and quiet to gather my thoughts long enough to write something as awesome as my many other works of fiction.
Are You Ready? (This might scare you if you're sawft!)
Presenting!
The Contestant
I'm required to put some information here.
Category: Digital Art
Title: The Contestant
Size: 8K (7680px X 4320px)
Technique: @nonameslefttouse does not reveal trade secrets very often. Produced from scratch on a blank digital canvas using a few of the many digital art tools I have at my disposal. A total of four layers were used and eventually merged.
Production Date: Finished it about two hours ago.
Conclusion
So there we have it, folks. My official entry into the first ever Art-Trail Contest! Winning doesn't matter to me. I had more fun promoting this thing. I encourage all other Steemit members capable of arting to join in on the festivities. Painters, digital artists and sculptors can all join in on the fun! Do not delay. I believe the deadline for all entries is April 22, 2017.
