in #designacharacter • 7 years ago

## Hey fellow Steemians and artists,

it´s time for another #designacharacter contest!
We had another great week and I´m excited for the next to come :D

Since it´s our 9th season (yeah I´m sure you realized the change in the title 😉) of this Contest I found out, to hold the contest on a weekly base is a little too fast.
For both, the artists and me.

As you maybe know, there is much going on in my life at the moment, and I´m sure for a lot of our artists its the same.
Many artists whose entries I would loove to see, told me on our Discord they did not find the time to make an entry till the deadline.

So I decided to give us more time!

The time depends on the contest theme and complexety, and will change from season to season. I will do a few promotion posts in that time, to promote the entries and to gather some votes for our contest. As always, the SBD rewards of every seasons contest posts will fund the prize.

Sponsor Announcement

whaleshares

I have another great news for you!
Thanks to the genorous @krazykrista from @whaleshares
I am happy to announce, that I can add
100 Whaleshares per week(!)
to our prize pool.
Our grand winner will get 50% of the whaleshares in the prizepool
and 2nd and 3rd place 25% each. :)


What are whaleshares?
Whaleshares are basically tokens to buy votes from whales like @officialfuzzy 😁
Each token is worth 1% upvote so you can decide how much weight you want to give to the upvote. Your post will then be upvoted by that whale giving you a significant boost in your payout for that post.

In THIS POST you can read how to use your whaleshares and everything that´s important.


Thanks again @krazykrista!

And now let´s start our

He has also created similarly themed titles for Dark Horse including Baltimore, The Amazing Screw-On Head and Joe Golem, Occult Detective.

3. Painter Gustav Klimt




Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body,and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. In addition to his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.

        Not exactly valid. You should choose one style of the three given artists. (Mignola, DiTerlizzi and Klimt)
        That's how the challenge works ;) Anyways, great artwork @omdesign! :)

        Since beekart was given as one of the examples for Modern Days Artist Style, I thought it just had too be unique style. But no problem, Will change it too Klimt style. Thanks again for the contest.
