THE WILD & STRANGE CONTEST - SEASON 6 ROUND 2 - ART CONTEST - 50 STEEM PRIZE

in wildnstrange •  7 years ago 

Season 6 Round 1 has officially ended!

This means that Round 2 can now begin and we already have a winner of 50 STEEM! Wondering who won the first round and which photo we get to create some artwork with?

And the Winner is...

@dwells


It is always a difficult time for me to choose only one winner, but we need to, so I did. I thought that this one would be a great foundation to build upon as Season 6 continues! Congratulations @dwells! 50 STEEM has been sent to your wallet! Now, people get a chance to turn this most excellent photo into an amazing piece of art!

Here is the progression that this contest follows.


ROUND 1 = PHOTO – Take a photo to enter – COMPLETED


ROUND 2 = ART – Use winning photo from Round 1 to make a piece of art - BEGINS NOW!


ROUND 3 = MEME – Use winning art from Round 2 to make a meme


ROUND 4 = POETRY – Use winning meme from Round 3 to make a poem


ROUND 5 = SONG – Use winning poem from Round 4 to make an original song.


Here are the official rules for Round 2:


  • Using the winning photo provided by @dwells from Round 1 as the inspiration, create your own original artwork.
  • You can use any medium, such as paint, pencil, clay, digital, coffee, etc, to create your art.
  • The winning piece of art will be used as the inspiration for the meme in the next round, so you may want to keep that in mind.
  • Enter original work and provide your entry in a reply to this post.
  • You can still make a post out of your entry, but your post does not count as an entry, only your reply.
  • Keep everything kid-friendly and G rated.
  • You must enter by midnight this coming Sunday (CST) in order for your entry to be considered valid.
  • By entering, you are giving me full permission to use your entry however I wish.

Have fun and get creative! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!


Also, if you enjoy making posts with stuff like this, why not make a post out of your entry as well. For one, it raises more awareness about the contest. Also, it gives you another chance to gain some STEEM for your efforts, and many times steemians have made more off of their posts about a contest entry than the winners of the contests did! What a crazy place this steemit is!


Until next time…

Great photo choice!! Since it's the 4th of July aka Independence day in the usa, I thought I'd take advantage of this wild and strange art contest and make a patriotic karate master! Hope you like it! It's my first time participating :)

Great job! A wonderful (and timely) entry!

Thank you!! I was going to post it in the morning, but I thought heck why not, its technically the fourth haha

Wow! This is awesome! You just set the bar really high. Keep up the good work.

Thanks :) I was enjoying making this so much I kinda got carried away haha

No kidding. And I always thought Zengeif was Russian (street fighter).

@papa-pepper this is my first time participating, and I know I took a different approach, but here's what I came up with! I hope you like it! Thanks for the picture @dwells

Wow! Dude that is AWESOME!!!! I WAS going to enter this round but I know I can't hold a candle to that. Good job.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

So many great entries. I don't envy Papa with having to choose only one.
I think this is definitely a top contender.

OMG! This is hilarious!

I like how you also provided the step by step on your other post!

here's my entry! it's a very quick sketch with a lot of expression, exactly like the model's face! ;)

Haha love this one!
Peace :)

I've got a great meme idea for this one. Whether it wins or not, can I use it to make a meme?

Yes of course you can use it! I'm glad you like it...

hi @papa-pepper ... here is my digital composition of the winning photo. @dwells was the perfect picture to pick for this contest. thank you.

Very cool! I like it!

I just wanted to thank you for all your help promoting steemstock. I have given you an honorary share in Steem Island Inc. I know the Post says that I will form the Corporation after we reach 1000 shares but I am already working on it!

FULL STEEM AHEAD!!!!

Got it.

Let's just be real, with a photo like that of karate STEEMIT he should of won hands down, no other entries needed.

You sir are the BOMB!

Keep bringing the karate fury brother haha. Following you now!

Well technically I'm a yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do but it's all good.

Either way it looks like some ass whooping. Haha

As promised, I shall now let an AI do my job for me !

The Deep Dream AI presents: Psychedelic Steem Ninja

This one kinda lost the Steemit connection XS

Wavy pattern is nice, but doesn't add too much to the image itself.

And here's the post I made about it :
https://steemit.com/ai/@pbock/playing-around-with-deep-dream-the-google-ai-that-dreams

What do you think @dwells ?

They are all very unique.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

You can thank Deep Dream for that.

I should probably try for some other filters though. All of these were done with a default Filter that isn't very good.

Also... that's the best way you found to say "Oh god... what have you done to me ?!?" XP

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

There, you've now got a Super Saiyan form ;)

My original pic idea was to combine Ryu and Zangief from Street Fighter. This filter makes me think of Raiden from Street Fighter.

I've got no knowledge of Street fighter, but googling it I can see how it might "corrupt" your idea a bit XS

In any case, I loved playing around with Deep Dream, and probably wouldn't have done it without this competition and your image, so thanks for not complaining about me feeding your image to a hungry AI ;)

Lol. Your welcome. I also realized Raiden was from Mortal Kombat, not street fighter like I had said.

Now that I think about it, does this still count as my original work when an AI did it for me ?

It's Open-Source, so at least there's no copyright problems :)

Heres mine:

I made a second version with more space, might be easier for someone to meme with :)

Last entry I promise! I made it more obvious that he's flying :)

Here's the post: https://steemit.com/art/@juliakponsford/steemit-superhero-artwork-for-the-wild-and-strange-contest

This was really fun, thanks for posting :)

Cool, so very cool! I'll check your post out too!

Congrats to @dwells !

Thank you!

Good job @dwells. Congrats. Great post and a great benefit to Steemit community.

Thank you!

Liked and followed :)

So good, can't wait to see what peeps come up with!
You rock @papa-pepper

Congratulations @papa-pepper!

all good - i will paint something for this competition

Really? You're going to do a painting of me? This has to be like the coolest thing that has ever happened to me.

if i am happy with it and if i have time i will submit and entry - i have never painted a person before

I would love to see what you come up with.

Just wait, this round may amaze you!

I'm looking forward to it. I think it's time I dig out some of the videos my wife shot of me doing Tae Kwon Do to give all these steemians some more martial arts fun.

Do it!

I actually intended on uploading some of those videos. I was pushing 350 lbs back then. I've dropped nearly 60 lbs since then.

I just found out about this now. Does that mean i can no longer join since I missed round 1?

No, each round is completely separate, other than you must use the winning piece from the previous round as a basis for your entry. If you want to turn the winning photo into a work of art, please do! Just enter with the piece by replying to this post!

Need a bit of clarification for Round 2 @papa-pepper. What do you mean by make it a piece of art?

You could paint or draw a version. Remake it out of clay or playdough. Do a digital remake of it.... Please see the second bullet point of the official rules for more info and see if that helps.

Alright Cool. Thanks for that @papa-pepper.

What a unique concept!
The creativity in Steemit transcends all the wildest and strangest ideas known to mankind. @papa-pepper your contest is amazeballs!! (ง^ᗜ^)ง

I want to join, but i only know MS Paint.
My art skills are close to nil. QnQ

So ill just sit back, relax, and enjoy the upcoming artworks. :)

MS Paint versions are allowed. Can't win if you don't join, but it's your choice.

Just knowing the fact that the Steemit community is very active in such activities assures me that it is worth to stay. We minnows ish happy. ( ノ^ω^)ノ゚

I'm planning to make my entry in paint. Maybe your clever idea, no matter how its executed, will win @papa-pepper's heart and wallet.

Congrats to our buddy @dwells

Thank you!

Welcome

Congratulations to the winner @dwells for winning the art contest..job well done, keep it up..

Thank you very much!

Coollll 🙋 @papa-pepper

Papa @papa-pepper. Hoping there could be some consolations to top 5 entries. One winner is so hard to deal with tbh.

That is part of the reason that I encourage those entering to make a post out of their entry too. Then they have 2 chances to get something in return for their efforts. To have the contest progress, I can only have one winner per round, but some rounds I have given out many other prizes and a few times everyone got the main prize. It just depends on what I am up to at the time. I do not want to give away ALL my STEEM and SBD, but I do give away a lot to bless others.

I now understand and got your point papa @papa-pepper. Thank you for your awesomeness. You're the real papa of steemit.

Thanks information papa-pepper

Congratulations & Good luck for next con
