Dragon Art Contest Winners Announcement- Congrats!!!! (39SBD in Rewards)
Thank you everyone so much for participating and making this a really exciting and fun (I hope). This was definitely a hard choice as there are so many lovely dragons with so many personalities and different styles.
You can check all of the entries and original posts here
1st place (my choice-15SBD): @jnart Vidderna
Swedish Ice Dragon "Vidderna" by @jnart - ( dragoncontest by @kristyglas )
The steps are shown very clearly in the post as well as a backstory of how @jnart met Vidderna. I fell in love with the little dragon and its huge eyes. The fingers provide a great reference of the dragon's size and adds additional realism to the dragon. The coloring technique is beautifully executed, with many details shown with only 1 color and roughly 3 shades of blue.
This was also the popular choice. Entrants can win only 1 of the categories, so the 2nd place winner is the next dragon in line with only 1 vote less.
2nd place (the popular vote-15SBD): @whistlejacket
Dragon Art Contest - My PET DRAGON
A total of 7 votes and 5 if counting only 1st choices.
The dragon is really cute with a lovely mythical name Andromeda. The texture is used well and the post reveals how it was done.
3rd place (random generated pick-5SBD): @jameshsmitharts
Cyber Dragon for dragoncontest - Pen & Color Pencil
This choice was picked by number generator. Beforehand I assigned a number to every entry.
I compiled all of the votes here

Making new friends
@kristyglas thank you so much for a well managed competition! I can feel you put lots of effort into it and hope you can feel my and the community's support. This was my first competition in Steemit, a really fun one. And lots of thanks for the price as "your choice" and for all the support I got in the voting from the community. And at least, thanks to @apprentice001 for your invitation and inspiring dragon :)
I feel as happy as my whale right now :)
Thank you very much for participating! :D
I got to meat and follow so many new artists thanks to this competition. Before that it was so hard to find artists with Steemit tags. Competitions really bring artists together, challenge and motivate those who want to start drawing.
It was really a pleasure to see all of the dragons ^^
Wow! Thank you so much @kristyglas and to the community who voted for me. I'm humbled and honoured. My dragon Andromeda is absolutely beside herself!
Congratulations!! ^-^
