The winners

🥇 1st places:

• @seey-art - Leopard🐆 climbing - 7 pts - prize: 18% of the post's earnings + 250 Ecency Points

This digital artwork presents a striking silhouette of a leopard climbing a barren tree against a glowing sunset sky, creating a powerful sense of atmosphere and motion. The warm orange and gold tones of the evening light contrast beautifully with the deep black forms, drawing the viewer’s eye to the leopard’s elegant strength and natural agility. The inclusion of birds in flight and soft cloud textures adds depth and calm balance to the scene, reinforcing the feeling of a quiet, late-day moment in the wild. Overall, the piece effectively combines simplicity and emotion, showcasing both technical control and a strong understanding of composition and mood.

@pavel.art - La cruz - 7 pts - prize: 18% of the post's earnings + 250 Ecency Points

This powerful watercolor painting conveys deep spiritual intensity through expressive brushwork and a bold, emotional use of color. The figure’s face, marked by pain and reflection, is rendered with layered strokes of red, yellow, blue, and green, which evoke sacrifice, suffering, and divine presence all at once. The crown of thorns becomes a strong focal point, while the fluid, almost translucent quality of the paint reinforces the sense of an ephemeral, contemplative moment shaped by music and faith. The choice of simple materials and a restrained space enhances the intimacy of the work, allowing the viewer to feel the artist’s meditation on love, redemption, and the profound meaning of the cross.

🥈 2nd place:

@asterkame - Painting Cherry Blossom Trees at Moonlight - 4 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 100 Ecency Points

This watercolor painting captures a calm and poetic night scene, where cherry blossom trees glow softly under the moonlight. The harmonious blend of pinks, blues, and greens creates a peaceful atmosphere, while the reflection of the moon on the water adds depth and gentle movement to the composition. The wooden dock serves as a quiet focal point, inviting the viewer into the landscape, and the scattered fallen blossoms enhance the sense of natural beauty and transience. Overall, the careful layering of colors and thoughtful details result in a charming and serene artwork that reflects both patience and a clear emotional connection to the scene.
