Upvote and Resteem this post
Make some art (max two entries per person and please new art inspired by this contest or at least not already posted on steemit)
Make a post of your own for your entry (add artexplosion in the tags) and please explain your medium! We sometimes are not sure if the image we are looking at is photo manipulation/painting etc!
Link it here in the comments obviously so I can find it.
Do this before the post pays out!
We'll be choosing the winners based on whatever tickles and touches us the most!
This is not a requirement but it would be a nice gesture to view the other entries and upvote them if you like so we can support each other and pass this on to any artists or friends you think may be interested :)
I can't wait to see what you create!

Sounds like a fun one :) I try so hard to post and then, well, yeah, lol I don't get them in. This in on the list for the day though :)

Hi Julia! I'm following you and I've upvoted this post...but I have no idea when "Do this before the post pays out!" refers to - meep! What's the timeline on that, do you know? Clueless! Jay x
Every post pays out after 7 days this one is finished next Tuesday. To find out when a post pays out click the amount on the payout and a little menu will drop down saying this post pays out in X days. I hope that helps :)
Thank you, Julia - that really does help! I've been away so long I feel like a newbie all over again 😁

Your on time no worries, if you are ever unsure click the little dropdown menu on the post payout, if it hasn't payed out yet your good :)
Hey thanks for tip. I never realize that. I mean I've seen that before but wasn't thinking to click on it to check. Thank you :)
Well I didn't get the coloring finished in time for the contest deadline but I am submitting the black and white version of my beautiful monster:
https://steemit.com/artexplosion/@carlgnash/beautiful-monster-art-explosion-week-9-contest-submission
It closes in about two hours so if you want to add you still have time but it looks good like this :)
I have more like 10 hours to go on this project still :( I checked when the post was going to payout and there was no way I could finish by then. But hey, this is still an entry! Love - Carl
