Hello Everybody!
The time you have all been waiting for has arrived! Week 45 of #zencolouringcontest ended yesterday, and now to announce the winners!
So without further ado, let's get on with the show(case)!
Firstly lets announce the Community Favourite,
The Community Favourite:
Hive account@cjsean
This entry was a common favourite among the upvoters and comment votes from the #zencolouringcontest community.
In 3rd place:
Hive account@tryskele
I picked this one because I love the effect and pattern created by the simplicity of orange shades mixed with white. The shapes and patterns of the design are highlighted by the clever positioning of the shades of orange making them quite eye catching. I like that white was used to create space between the shapes and even as a smart use of negative space!
In 2nd place:
Hive account@norwegiansteem
I chose this one because I love the bright and sparkly colour palette. The colours are definitely representative of that from a Fiesta or Carnivàle. The use of purples and reds with the subtle addition of orange is a great combination and creates lovely patterns within the different shapes of the design. I also like the clever addition of particles and lighting effects to create that sparkly and glowing effect!
And in 1st place:
Hive account@steempampanga
I picked this one as the winner because I love the creativity and inspiration of making the design look like hot metal and charred wood. The orange colours have worked really well with the shading to create a metal copper look and the subtle brown textured areas look like the remain wood yet to be charred. I like the addition of red in the eyes, it adds an extra effect to resemble heat and the darker brown and blue areas certainly resemble charred materials. The additional details of the steam rising from the design ties it all together nicely. A very unique and creative idea!
The corresponding prize will be sent shortly!
