Postartchallenge -Theme 1 - Steemit Mascot UPDATE(reward pool raised to 80+ SBD's , thanks to an extra donor!)

What do you think of the mascot entrants so far Steemit?!

First round of my #postartchallenge was initially funded 20 SBD's from Hive account@papa-pepper ..However another 20 SBD's were recently donated by Hive account@virtualgrowth. Therefore the payout for 1st through 3rd place has been increased! We have a few entrees so far, I'm really hoping we get more!! but we are only 4 of 14 days down so there is plenty of time!

It's your chance to create a Steemit mascot! We have some pretty good entrees so far. No aliens yet though. Or goats. Why can't the Steemit mascot be an alien, or a goat :) ?! As I said in the initial post, the decision is on the artists to decide what the future mascot of Steemit will look like! Here are a few of the entrees we have in our first 4 days of the challenge! I hope to get more entries since the payout is higher! Here are just a few of the entries so far

payout changes will be 1st: 40 SBDs , 2nd: 25 SBDs , 3rd: 15 SBDs . With extra SBD's going to honorable mentions!
