Steemit Dolphin

Riding The Digital Waves

I am creating drawings of Steemit ecosystem, so this isn't the first time I've drawn or painted a dolphin. I've always loved to draw the denizens of our water worlds. Dolphins are one of my favorites, they are group oriented animals, intelligent, and they like humans. They work the best as a group and represent the middle class in Steemits ecosystem. As we all know a strong middle class is what makes a strong, healthy, free ecosystem.

The next drawing I will be working on is a portrait of one of the lesser characters on the Game of Thrones TV series, Beric Dondarrion. The guy can't be killed and I am really curious what part he is going to play in the last season.

14 x 11 inches, drawing paper, Prismacolor Pencils

Hope your week is productive Steemians!

Wow! You are a really talented drawer! I like the changes of the colours in the 1st pic, from blue to green!

With colored pencils one can layer color and mix to bring out a totally different color, it's really fun!

I can imagine that it is fun!

I like your dolphin very much @reddust... it's just cool how much Steemit related art is surfacing.

Not very productive yet, but it's early days!

@denmarkguy, I saw the digital trading cards, they are so cool. Hope you jump in soon ....hahaha ;-) I made this picture to celebrate my one year birthday on steemit and figured I might as well draw all the beings here, not just minnows and whales but some of the others I am not going to name yet, because I haven't exactly figured out what they are.

@reddust, great shading. This is a nice piece.

I really like the realistic look of the dolphin and also the aquatic colors (blended blues and greens) you picked for the Steem logo.

Looks great!

Dolphins and many sea mammals have a lovely shape that is easy to shadow. Thank you @sumatranate!

@reddust, I see your point about the shapes of sea mammals and shading. I had never thought of that before.

Nice, I can feel its under water without seeing any water. Great job!

I try and imagine I am what I am painting, feel the water sliding over my skin, the reflections, the taste of the sea water as I bend and twist through the waves of water pressure.

Amazing! I'm curious to try something like that! And check out my ugly art challenge if you like, a fun odd contest.

I just checked out your ugly art contest before I read this comment....hahaha <3

As usual a great end result :) Go Steemit Dolphins! ^.^

Soon you will be riding the waves with us, I am bringing you with me.

;D Will still take a while for me to get there, but I got time ;)
Heck who knows, if one of my other crypto investments go crazy in a few years, I'll buy myself a whale-in :P

Well then, I better be nice to you :p hahaha ;-)

Very nice! And I really like that you made it to dolphin status purely by working and contributing, without being an investor or trader. That's impressive.

I had some very kind whales and curie help me, at the time I did not know what a whale was....lololol, I might of been a bit nicer to them, as I can be outspoken when I think things are unfair...

@reddust,
Wow that's amazing! Now you are making Steem Dolphins :D Last time you made bots and now dolphins :D Excellent artwork my dear friend! Thank you very much for sharing with us!

Cheers~

You are welcome my dear friend, I would be drawing every day with or without steemit, the icing on the cake is the sharing, rewards are nice though....hahahaha

Really cool paint red, i want to use it as wallpaper

You can use this for wallpaper, I am thinking of getting this printed on a t-shirt as well.

Perfect red i will use it in a jpg format ;), the idea of print it is great i think you can creat your brand using the paintings of your posts

I've been seriously thinking about doing just that!

Hi reddust good hands you have :) i like sea living too, but i would like to read something more of you to say just nice picure is to less for my. Thank you :))

My hands hurt using pencils for over an hour, using a brush is easier...lolol

You want me to write more?

i like what you doing most off all I like your thoughts interesting to write back :))

I like your drawing. keep up the good work) resteem

Thank you for the resteem, I love your mushroom photo and now I wonder what kind it is...?
