My entry to the "Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 21"
This is my entry for the Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 21, hosted by @pifc!
The rules of this challenge are very simple: Feature 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Steemians with a reputation score of 55 or under.
As it has become my habit, I'll be featuring 2 artists. Here's the preview of their artworks:
#1 - @kryptik.tigrrr3d (41)
Jose Antonio Taroy is a 3D animation artist from Manila, Philippines. He's a metalhead, just like me! 😄
@kryptik.tigrrr3d has joined SteemIt 4 month ago but, oddly enough, this is only his 4th post. Coincidentally or not, the post I'm selecting was created 4 hours ago. What's up with the number 4 today? 😂
Daryl: A Portrait in Graphite is a phenomenal and very realistic Portrait in Graphite of a friend of his:
@kryptik.tigrrr3d completes his post with a background story telling how this work has come into life. He also includes an extremely detailed step by step showing the progress of his work, as well as a list of the materials used.
What a great post. I'd never say this is only the 4th time he posts something. Wow!
#2 - @rebeca.just20 (50)
Rebeca Justo is a name you should memorise! She has been posting for 9 months (with an hiatus of 4 months) and lately, she has been quite active, posting great artworks almost everyday. She keeps improving with every work and her latest post - I am back with... Digital Portrait! - is an incredibly detailed and stunning artwork:
I specially love the lighting and the amazing level of detail!
@rebeca.just20's post is quite simple, she could do better if she posted a few images mid-development... but with this kind of quality, maybe Rebeca won't even need it. 😊
Edit: I guess Rebeca heard me, as her most recent post is a lot more complete:
The next part of the contest is purely optional:
"Bonus Blogger needs to be from one of the introduction tags. Looking for someone who has posted 3 or less posts, basically a brand new steemian."
#3 - @papersmell (33)
Hauke is an artist currently living in my own country, Portugal... and that contributed for my choice.
Hauke has joined SteemIt on September 12, 2017...
--- Wait!? Wasn't this supposed to be a brand new steemian? You're right... and he is. For some reason, Hauke only started posting 5 days ago and he made his introduction post today: Hauke in the studio in Lisbon
Please check his introduction post and welcome him to SteemIt!

Great job!
Thank you!
haha yeah i was an idiot to not post anything here for a whole year ... but i´m glad i finally started my blog and really happy with the feedback.
thank you so much for featuring my presentation !!
cheers
hauke
You're welcome. I'm surprised you still had the Keys, after so much time!!! 😆
actually i did not- but my computer remembered... so i could make a new key. :P
I have visited and upvoted both you entries. They both were great choices to include in the PIFC.
Thank you very much... I'm waiting a bit now, to restore my VP, before I return to the thread and vote on a few more entries. 😉
Loved the entries...soft spot for artists here. One thing that you might want to look into as you curate artists so often is @eye4art. There are some contests and it might be a good place to point some newer artists towards.
To say the truth, I rarely go looking for artists to feature. Usually, they are already on my list and it's just a question of waiting for them to post something good! 😄
great choices ,upvoted both of them.. i love that you have posted artists for both entries..
Much love and power
I usually do. I've been picking two different artists, ever since Week 5 of the contest.
Thanks for stopping by! 😃

You're really fond of drawings and paintings, ain't you? Don't worry, it is not that obvious. 😂
I have visited, upvoted and commented on all of your featured articles. You really have an eye on those types of art!
Yes, that... and music, too.
However, I think the music I listen to the most... would scare most of you away.
Hahaha! That's a cute... what is it? Lizard or baby dragon?
Why, what music genre do you listen to?
Eh, it's a lizard. I usually listen to stuff like this:
(Don't miss her smile at 1:07)
And this...
(Don't miss the moment at 2:47)
And this...
Whoah! Hahaha! I was shocked when the singer started singing on the first video. I wasn't expecting the voice to be like that.
I can take the second one. It is somehow to my acceptable level of metal rock. But the third one? Now, that's scary! I am also scared of how she portrays her face when it is on close-up.
How could these beautiful ladies sound so hoarse?
Eeheheh! It's a style. For decades, only men were Metal Vocalists. We're in a Brave New World now! Women are taking over! :-D
Yes, we rock! We rule! 😂
But kidding aside, I do not really like the scary ones... 😊
Oh, c'mon. Angela Gossow is not that scary! And without her, women would still be in the background nowadays. They would be roadies of Metal bands, not vocalists! ;-)
She paved the way for all other women vocalists in Metal!
Thanks for the music break. Perfect timing as I am letting SP recover at the moment. Guess i will cruise through some tunes on the way to the features.
The more Steem drops, the more difficult it is to keep the SP high... Hopefully, this is just temporary.
Well I made it to the first two. On my way to the third. Honestly I think it will never matter how much SP I gain I will always find too many places to use it up :D
You are just fantastic steemian @trincowski. it seems you have been on the contest for long time. wish you all the best bro
These are such great choices; I'm familiar with two out of three this week :)
And I know this was from 3 days ago, but tell me you bought a lottery ticket with at least one 4 in it haha
