The winners

🥇 1st place:

@mikeart SASUKE - 26 pts - prize: 20% of the post's earnings + 300 Ecency Points

Your digital piece captures Sasuke's essence beautifully—his poised stance, the tension in his grip, and the intensity in his gaze all mirror his internal conflict and unshakable resolve. The bold black-and-white style fits the character perfectly, echoing the duality in his journey: light vs. darkness, loyalty vs. vengeance.

The thick linework and dramatic contrast give the artwork a strong manga feel, reminiscent of key moments in Naruto when Sasuke faces defining decisions. You've succeeded in translating his emotional weight into a visual language that feels both powerful and personal.

🥈 2nd place:
@bseffectdraw Self portrait - 19 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 200 Ecency Points

Your self-portrait is powerful and deeply expressive. The upward gaze, paired with the red band across your eyes, beautifully captures that sense of searching and emotional tension. The blue background with soft, floating symbols (notes, hearts, faces) adds a nice touch of contrast—almost like the scattered thoughts and inspirations floating around you.

For a piece done entirely on your phone with just your fingers, the lighting, shading, and texture are very impressive. The emotion comes through strongly, and it's brave of you to turn that creative block into a subject itself.

🥉 3rd place:

• @seey-art Receiving help - 12 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 100 Ecency Points

This piece is moving and symbolic. The imagery of the large hand reaching down to connect directly to the kneeling man’s heart with red thread or blood is a powerful representation of divine help, strength, or unseen support during moments of vulnerability.

The scratchy pen technique adds emotional rawness to the image, while the red stands out boldly—drawing immediate focus to the act of connection and restoration. The small birds flying off in the distance further suggest hope and release.
