Here we are again folks, ART EXPLOSION, THIS IS WEEK 25! The theme this week is INSPIRED BY A BOOK! This one is a bit unusual but this week I would like you to create something that is inspired by a character/scene etc. of your favourite book, please mention the name of the book in your post and describe how it relates! All forms of art are acceptable, painting, illustration, photography, music, poetry, a story, a comic or any other medium you choose, be creative and surprise me! Once again we have a special sponsor and guest judge: @vachemorte who will be helping me judge! The total prize pool this week is 25 steem!

Please note: in the interest of fairness, starting this week we have a new rule, we are accepting new artwork only. This is somewhat on the honour system as we can't always verify but showing a process would be helpful!


The Rules
+++++++

  • Upvote and Resteem this post
  • Make some art (max two entries per person and please new art only)
  • Make a post of your own for your entry (add artexplosion in the tags)
  • In your post describe your medium/process a bit and for this contest the book that inspired the art
  • Link it here in the comments obviously so I can find it.
  • All entries must be submitted before Sunday January 28th at 3PM EST.

We'll be choosing the winners based on whatever tickles and touches us the most!

This is not a requirement but it would be a nice gesture to view the other entries and upvote them if you like so we can support each other and pass this on to any artists or friends you think may be interested :)

I can't wait to see what you create!

great contest julia, i'll be keeping up with it :)
goodluck to you all participating

the information that is in your post, can help me, who are the beginners in the steemit community, thank you friends

Your challenge was added to Steemit Contest Compilation (22.01-28.01): Win free SBD and STEEM (more than 50 contests!) for current week.

Thank you @juliakponsford for giving Steemians (especially minnows) a chance to get free STEEM.

Excelente

Does webfiction count as a book?

I would say yes :)

Wow another one good contest.. Good luck to everyone.

If the new rules are new art only I won't be able to participate often. I take too long to create my art and am usually doing art for clients, so I can;t really put that aside to do contest art. :(

You could always do a mandela sketch you might use later and use that as your entry for here?

Sorry about that, we found it very difficult to compare simpler pieces we know people made especially for the contest and more involved work that may have taken months, it didn't seem fair, hopefully at some point you might find some time!

Hello!! It can be character of a short story or a poem?

Sure I'll accept that, please mention where you drew the inspiration in your post!

it can be in spanish?

Sounds good!

cool thanks for sharing;)

Oooh. I love books and I love art! Will definitely join ❤️

I look forward to seeing your entry!
