@techslut's "Draw Me an Avatar" Contest Winners Announced!
Last week I asked Steemit to draw me an avatar, and offered 5 SBD to the winner (2 SBD for second place and 1 SBD for the funniest entry).
Guess what? I lied. Sort of.
With over 30 (!!!) amazing artworks to choose from, I couldn't possibly pick just one winner and one runner up! So instead of torturing myself over it, I decided to double the prize pool.
Instead of a single winner of 5 SBD, there will be THREE winners getting 5 SBD each, and FIVE others getting 1 SBD each.
Are you ready for the winners?
Let's start with the runners up - 5 artists getting 1 SBD each for their participation:
@donnadavisart imagined me dreaming away with coffee and a unicorn
@ferjart turned me into a charming computer game character:
@slhomestead let me rest on a couch in my socks
@marinaart hid all the little details about me in a single image
and @orenisme included a unikitty in pink!
Wowed yet? Well, hang onto your seats cause here come the top 3 creations that made my ego swell so big it blocked out the sun for a few hours today.
Here are the brilliant creators each getting 5 SBD in their wallet at soon as publish this post:
@beekart , one of my all time favorite artists on the platform, drew me as a MinnowBooster superhero. Well, I look a loss less like a goat than expected!!!
@adelepazani who totally blew my mind with a perfect portrait that looks like it belongs on my mom's bedroom wall.
and @alannapendragon who drew not only me, but also my childhood imaginary friend (she never knew existed) - Starfire, my pet unicorn.
EDIT: Bonus winner!
Just a few hours late, but TOTALLY deserving of that extra 5 SBD is @jillustrations with a breathtaking and aborably detailed depiction of me riding my dragon with one of my cats.
Thank you SO MUCH! I have yet to decide which avatar goes where, but odds are I will be changing my avatar, cover photo and getting a post signature over the next few days.
Now you go follow the wonderful artists listed above, and I will go send them their prizes because they SO TOTALLY DESERVE IT.

Like I could help myself! And yeah, steemit has some awesome people around. We try to bring the best of ourselves here, you know? It's my favorite thing about steemit. You can be kind and generous and it costs you nothing. I love it.

Approved ya. Sleep now.
@beekart's was my favorite, too many good ones all around! It was a fun contest, good luck rotating all these new bad ass avatars on all the social networks you are on
Next up - "Write me an avatar rotation script for steemit" challenge! :D
all entries were top quality. I like the minnowbooster superhero the most. It could also be a good figurine. Strong design.
Know anyone who can 3D print and paint it? :)
Yes :) I do it for people. Check my account for samples of finished projects. I hope you will like some.
Very much noted and followed!
I love, love, love how much creativity was generated by this challenge. I'm also super impressed by the talent on display.
