The winners

🥇 1st place:

@wealthgrammy - FIREFLY— INKTOBER DAY 23 - 12 pts - prize: 20% of the post's earnings + 300 Ecency Points

Merit the Firefly is a delightfully unique and spooky character, with her wide, unsettling eyes, sharp smile, and fantastic, scratchy texture. The combination of the dark, beetle-like wings and the bright, glowing green abdomen gives her a distinct and memorable personality.

🥈 2nd place:
@seey-art Lion King 🦁 - 4 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 200 Ecency Points

This is a truly glorious digital painting of Simba standing on Pride Rock, beautifully capturing the spirit of the Disney classic! The artwork is highly impactful, primarily due to your skillful use of a vibrant, fiery color palette—the intense oranges and yellows in the dramatic sky perfectly illuminate Simba's majestic profile and underscore the moment of his triumph. You have successfully conveyed the power and emotional weight of that iconic scene.

🥉 3rd places:

• @asterkame A Night Landscape with Sailboat Watercolor Painting - 3 pts - prize: 3% of the post's earnings + 20 Ecency Points

Hello! Your night landscape painting with the sailboat is truly beautiful and wonderfully captures a serene, tropical evening. The contrast you achieved is striking; the deep black silhouette of the sailboat and the coconut leaves stands out dramatically against the bright, layered rainbow sunset/sunrise effect in the middle of the sky. The cool blue tones of the water, accented by the white reflections, and the large, luminous white moon create a fantastic, slightly stylized atmosphere. It's a charming and evocative piece of watercolor art!

• @promzy23 Shades of Strength - 3 pts - prize: 3% of the post's earnings + 20 Ecency Points

This is a powerful and skillfully executed pencil portrait. You've perfectly achieved your goal of capturing strength and calm; the high contrast achieved with the 12B pencil creates remarkable depth, especially in the intense shading of the beard and the detailed texture of the skin. The subtle play of light on the cap and the realistic rendering of the collarbones and chest truly emphasize the subject's confident and grounded presence.

• @maxwellmarcusart Inktober Day 23 - Firefly - 3 pts - prize: 3% of the post's earnings + 20 Ecency Points

You've created a detailed and dynamic sketch of the firefly, successfully capturing the insect in vertical flight. The cross-hatching technique you used in the background gives the drawing a striking digital texture, making the subject pop. The linework on the segmented body and the delicate veining of the wings is particularly well-executed, highlighting the firefly's anatomy.

• @promzy23 Peaceful Watcher - 3 pts - prize: 3% of the post's earnings + 20 Ecency Points

You have absolutely succeeded in capturing the "quiet soul of a loyal friend" in this beautiful charcoal portrait. The heavy use of charcoal creates rich, dark tones that give the subject real presence, while the careful texture work on the fur and the bright, expressive glint in the eyes convey the dog's gentle, observant nature perfectly. It's a wonderful study in serenity and depth.

• @silviabeneforti Large eyes (oil on paper) - 3 pts - prize: 3% of the post's earnings + 20 Ecency Points

This oil on paper artwork is absolutely captivating; the large, expressive eyes and the soft blush on the cheeks give the central figure a gentle, almost wistful quality. The surreal element of the small red house perched on the head, with tiny figures walking on the swirling line, adds a beautiful sense of narrative and introspection. It's a wonderful, memorable piece!
