In second place is @ferjart who made this fantasy art Turtle of the Stars. It reminded me of the spineback turtle in Steem Montsers :D His skill and precision are always appreciated, he wins 8 STEEM!

In third place is this beautifully executed mermaid by @abrahmatan. The serene color palette and the little winky gif at the end of the post were a pleasure to look at, he wins 5 STEEM!
