I've been pretty active recently, trying to sneak into several niches for maximum reward (and the fun and satisfaction of using my brain in this way... God I'd have started on this whole Artist thing a long time ago if I'd known what *creating* something felt like !!)
# [Auctionity X KnownOrigins 5 ETH Competition](https://thecreativecrypto.com/knownorigin-x-auctionity-nft-art-contest/) (waiting for approval)
These are my two current submissions to the [Auctionity](https://www.auctionity.com/) and [KnownOrigins](https://knownorigin.io/) competition
They've got some very different stylistic elements, and these are *scaled down* versions.
You see the competition requires 3840x2160px + sized artworks, and those don't upload too good here on steemit.
It took some time to make too, as they have to look *good* at those sizes too !
The competition lasts untill March 1st, and here's the [Entry Link to submit your artwork](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfKXKgOuW_WvUsZPXV6L0QGidEuW2Kn3hEYK4ko7G_73AWTKQ/viewform) (GIF, vector, JPG and PNG are all accepted, but all works must be approved by KnownOrigins before being accepted).
# My new Crystals Craft XCP card on Book or Orbs (waiting for approval)
This one was quite fun. I tried to smooth the combination of different forms, and as always I used Creative Commons / Public Domain artwork and logos (Given Europe seems set to ignore our protests and vote on that "All platforms must police their content for CP infringement or be held liable" set of laws soon, I think I made the right call !)
The artwork itself hints at future works, The Mountain and The Supreme HODLers, but I still have to think up good plans for what those should look/feel like.
This one is in the review step, and already has a CounterParty token associated with it (BUDDHAOFCOIN).
It should be available on [Book of Orb's CrystalsCraft collection](https://app.bookoforbs.com/cry) soon enough :)
# New SuperRare works. The Twins, [Mr.Gray](https://superrare.co/artwork/mr.gray-1987) and [Mr.Colors](https://superrare.co/artwork/mr.-colors-1986)
We're only 13 works away from SuperRare work N 2000 !!!
The base material was this guy :
I initially named it Shade Tails after a favorite webcomic's main character (I think I'll write an article about that webcomic tomorrow... Just reread the entire 16 year Archive of the Story comic to get up to date, and am now reading the "Newspaper" stories... which are basically the author, and characters, having tons of fun outside of the sotry continuity XD)
After processing it, though, it didn't give out the necessary vibe. so I renamed it Colors:

And after looking at the Grayscale and Colors version side to side, I thought up the idea of making 2 Twin works :)
# in other news : Crypto Eagle buys me Silver !
My artwork, Crypto Eagle, recently soldfor ~90$ of ETH, so I decided to put 2/3 of that towards a new piece of silver !
I already got the 2016, so the 2017 Succubus Round by our very own @phelimint was a no-brainer :)

That's all for tonight, folks :)
I'm super excited for the upcoming [Decentraland Design competition](https://contest.decentraland.org/)... Those prizes are mouth-watering XO
Hopefully I can apply some of my many wacky ideas in their 3D scene designer tool with enough clarity to earn one of the prizes (1st prize is 200,000 MANA **and** a Decentraland LAND parcel !!!!!!)
