Digital Artist Showcase: Inaugural Competition

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

A few days ago I wrote a post suggesting that I start a weekly Digital Artist Showcase in which a selected steemit digital artist of the week will be featured along with their digital work - 3D design, digital painting, video effects etc. Alongside this I plan a weekly themed competition with prizes to be decided. I was happy to see so much interest expressed with some great offers of help to set it up from fellow steemians @imagin8orr and @ryivhnn and I am here to announce the inaugural competition.

I want a banner made to head the Digital Artist Showcase posts and therefore to be the featured image in the post listing. It has to be 100% digital (sorry traditional folk, there are other competitions on steemit :p ) and totally your own work. It must be eye catching and feature the title Digital Artist Showcase. A 800x480 resolution is ideal but if it is larger you can expect it to be cropped or resized should it be the winner.


From the video effects gurus I would like a 2 GIFs to liven up all future posts, similar in size to the one above. They don't have to have the name Digital Artist Showcase featured as long as they are cool and within the theme of the Showcase.

10 SBD will be awarded to the designer of the banner

10 SBD will be awarded to each of 2 GIF designers

Total prize fund = 30 SBD

The competition runs through this week until the 21:00 GMT 19th June 2017 and I will announce the winners on the 20th June 2017 - for your time local to go HERE

The more upvotes and resteems this post gets, the higher the prize pool for next week's competition!


If you are a digital artist and want me to see your work in preparation for the featured digital artist of the week, please send me a message on steemit chat. I will follow all digital artists but your blog must feature some of your work - I don't do a follow for a follow.

Just saw this now, when are you choosing winner ? tomorrow ? ----never mind I saw it in post after reading again :)

After closing I will take a few days to judge and then announce the winners midweek

Did not have much time since I just heard about this but wanted to float an idea past you. If you liked it I could always finish it up since these are still a little rough because of time constraint.

I like the idea of leaving room to showcase a snippet of the art you will be displaying, that way its not just the same old logo every post. It would be the logo + a piece of the art featured. I used some of my sketches as an example in these mockups. As someone who is a digital artist I thought your idea was good so wanted to try and help it out :) Overall I am generally a fan of "clean and simple" so its easy to read.

They could use some tweeking for sure but you get idea and if you wanted I would gladly mess with them. Good logo takes more time than I had with this :) Best wishes with whatever you choose and looking forward to more Digital Artist Showcase on Steemit!

That looks very nice. Now need one for Digital Artists Showcase. You have time still! Queda un poco de tiempo

Gracias trataré de tenerlo para mañana..

Para nada

No es demasiado tarde para intentarlo. Eso es muy bueno

Podrías facilitarme, la información exacta o requerida para participar?. El traductor de Google no me ayuda mucho.

I'm very sorry but the competition closed 2 hours ago and the winners have been selected. I like the design though so if you would not mind me using it I will send you a little gift.

Será para el próximo evento. :(
Esta bien acepto tu propuesta @gmuxx

Estaré pendiente de los próximos eventos me gusta mucho el diseño, Gracias!

Espero ver más de su arte

I think on future competitions you should give an extra week since its digital art and some people might take time to think and create it! Just a suggestion for the future of your awesome contest!

I think you may be right. Early days, I will nail it....eventually

Great! Good luck to participants!:)

Wonderful idea to recognize Steemit talent. I'm blown away by what they are doing.

Note to self: I gotta complete this by 2pm (PST) on my birthday

Oh shush, I'm just a hobbyist.

I hope we get plenty of entries

I'll work on something tonight!

Excellent. Don't rush, you have all week!

que bonito :)
