⚪️ No Matter What They Say (Original song) ⚪️

Coming from Canary Islands (Spain), Priscilla Hernández also known as @yidneth on Steemit, is one of the most professional Steemettes on the platform imho, and I really applaud her effort and skills. She is a composer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and she describes her style of music as "ethereal gothic" inspired in fairy and ghost tales and with a great component of fantasy. She performs on @dlive at least once a week where you can see her live, and you can also join her discord channel here: https://discord.gg/jjYj9AX

⚪️ 20 Hours Drawing ⚪️

@ramses.ber comes from Venezuela and he is a painter/illustrator that is primarily dedicated to making of a very photo-realistic hand made paper illustrations. This spectacular wonder he showcased on this round of iTalent is such an impressive piece of art, almost all of the judging panel reached for it as its favorite, and that is why he belongs in this post. He a contestant on iTalent all the way from the ROUND 1, and I myself have tried to convince him to do a time-lapse in two occasions and he finally did it, you can watch it below his painting.

if_Flag_of_Iran_96334.png @davidfar

⚪️ The Sun vs Fade to Black ⚪️

Davood Faramarzi also known as @davidfar on Steemit is a Iranian based Producer/Musician that I've met not long ago on this platform, he is a really authentic person and makes music in a variety of genres. This particular song he made is an original mash-up that he made ground up, in actuality the song is entirely his arrangement, he just decided to use the lyrics from Metallica's "Fade to Black", and with such an awesome outcome. You can check the rest of his performances on his profile or visit his soundcloud

if_Flag_of_United_States_96220.png @errymil

⚪️ The Wolf Goddess ⚪️

Errymil Batol comes from California, US and is a one of the most amazing painters I came across on Steemit. This astonishing piece "The Wolf Goddess" resonates with such character and beauty, the she wolf is definitely brought to life with its wise and lifelike gaze, simply amazing. He also makes this incredibly awesome Koi Fish bowls where he paints the fishes with layers, and pours melt resin between each layer creating a 3d/relief visual effect where it looks like real fishes reside within a bowl, simply amazing, you can check this on his profile: @errymil and check a time-lapse "making of" video below.

if_Flag_of_Brazil_96143.png @guifaquetti

⚪️ Vasco Martins - Deserto Subtil II ⚪️

Guilherme Faquetti is a classical guitarist and a teacher of music. He comes from Sao Paolo, Brasil. The Vasco Martins piece he performed for this round is truly remarkable and played flawlessly. Many slight details escape to an untrained ear in the video, but as I've played a classical guitar among other things, I can relate and recognize how balanced the whole performance truly is. Well done Guilherme, I really enjoyed this, and so did other judges.

if_Flag_of_Serbia_96188.png @jungwatercolor

⚪️ Large Watercolor Portrait ⚪️

Coming from Zemun, Serbia Dunja Jung is a painter primarily dedicated to watercolor paintings. I simply love to come across her work, cause as far as the water color paintings go, she is a real refreshment to myself. The thing that attracts me the most in her paintings are the subtleties, and how with them she shows the shapes and the character of her motif. Second thing would be the color choice she uses, especially the bright magenta and how it reflects the white background.

if_Flag_of_Venezuela_96195.png @jetperalta

⚪️ Giant Steps" (John Coltrane Cover) ⚪️

@jetperalta comes from Caracas, Venezuela and he is a Musician and a freelancer. He is a winner from the ROUND 3 (last round) of this contest. I was happy to finally see a jazz piece on iTalent this truly is a refreshment on contest, it went a bit overlooked so I urge everybody reading this review to go on and support him, cause he and his band really did a good job covering John Coltrane. Excellent job, keep on doing great music, your piano skills are magnificent.

if_Flag_of_Venezuela_96195.png @betzaelcorvo

⚪️ Lionel Messi Portrait ⚪️

@betzaelcorvo is a Venezuelian painter and a musician. He is a contestant on iTalent contest since ROUND 1, and was a one of the three tie-brakers on the last round winning a shared reward in a tie-brake. His illustrations are simply amazing, very specific use of different shades of blue pen. This Lionel Messi portrait is definitely my favorite he did so far, not because I am a Messi fan, but because the details are spectacular. Great job @betzaelcorvo and I hope your favorites win on Russia 2018.

Hello @ivan.atman (sorry for my english), thank you first of all for giving attention to my participation for your contest and for supporting my work. the situation in Venezuela sometimes complicates matters and as to bring together a group to play carries its complications. Although I a little late to assemble the video, I could get it!. Although I could not get a vote of whale from the likes of @curie, @sndbox. I ask that you speak with your sponsors(@gtg,@fbslo...) to see if they could still support me with your vote. Thank you for all!. I will continue giving it better in my and will improve more and more my entries!

I hope the situation repairs soon in Venezuela @jetperalta keep playing great music and you will get attention for sure ✌ remember you managed to win the last round 😉
