I always feel, as a dolphin, I can't give back as much as a whale does. But this is my attempt. An art giveaway! In future contests, I may offer creation of whichever sea creature or animal the winner requests.
It's simple. Pick a number between 1 and 1000. Closest contestant wins the badge - with THEIR name on it!
Obviously, if you don't like the art, then don't enter - it's not rocket science folks ☺ ☺ ☺ A good use for it would be as a signature or your avacon, but only if you like it! If you already have art you like, then you might want to let someone else win instead XD
We start with a flat crab icon!
Note that it's extra simplified. This will help later when we add thickness to it.
Skew and rotate the flat crab, add thickness
This is by FAR the most time-consuming aspect. All those legs were a serious headache!
Add basic colours, based on a real life crab
Pretty easy in comparison. Image from pexels.com
Quick question for crypto freaks!
Beside bitcoin, what's a good crypto to put some of my SBD earnings into? I'm not earning a whole lot, so I'd probably go for a cheaper one, like bitshares. Any thoughts?! I'm looking for a longer term investment, not a quick trade.
Contest will close in 24 hours from my original post time. Thanks for your participation! :)
You can only enter one number, please...
Very good your initiative ... I leave my favorite number 69 ;)
:O Thanks for participation! @yanes94

Litecoin is timeless
Good luck to all. @overkillcoin
thanks @cryptopie!! :)
Love this idea!!! Good on you Coin! If I hadn't already commissioned someone to do me up an avatar I'd be trying to get in on this. But as it is, I will sit back and watch and hope someone who will love and cherish it forever comes out on top!
Picked the winner this morning! Thanks for stopping by @mikepm74
I'm definitely ready to sell my soul to the devil for this icon< so my number will be:
666
:O
I'm kidding! :)
I have no soul...
Gingers have souls!!!
Damn, you beat me to it and you also have a funny reason...
lol

Since I am not so into crabs i will let this pass, but I resteemed in case a follower would like to participate n.n
How about a custom pixelart portrait contest? I need a new one xD
I'm super bad with portraits though
777

Ooooo! I know someone that needs this. NEEEEEEDS this. I hate that "N" word too. Anyway, @fiorebird would like this. Wait, @fiorebird is not crabby though. Maybe more like delicious flying fish!
Hahaha yeah this is cool, definitely would be more into the flying fish or flying fish/bird idea hah. Cool avatar though!
A flying fish sounds like a lot of fun :D
@overkillcoin it sure does😊
I'd love to see a flying fish in action, seems astounding to think about.
I would very much look forward to your fun interpretation. 🎃
786
You were very close, it was 783 :O
Thank you for participating!!!
So do i get to win then?
I;m sorry, someone chose 783 exactly.
I will have another random giving soon though.
155
I'm not a crypto freak, but I would go for EOS. It has been growing in value recently, but who knows if this will continue? People have high hopes for EOS on long term :)
Yes, I think I have some stashed somewheres... but "think I have some" probably isn't a good thing... "know I have some" might be better!
This is why I'm not going to multiple trading sites and having multiple wallets. I would only lose everything I own!
This way I can see in my wallet and see easily that I'm still poor.
Oh I've played that game before and lost :(
Some people manage to screw up to success, not me though

Thanks for the chance at the cool badge, bud!
:D !!!

Thanks for playing! I have another random drawing tomorrow...
I pick 438.
Powerledger seems pretty good at the moment. They have a good project going on. May be worth taking a look at them.
Thanks for the recommendation @bmj!
my number is 942
Hi @sciack, the contest is closed... sorry! Will have another one soon!
yeah I know, see you next time.
Good idea about the contest @overkillcoin, my number is 710
Thanks Emma!

Dash, Litecoin, Eth are all good investments I think. If you're looking for something a little newer QTUM and CIVIC I think are good buys. ARK is also a strong coin that's ok priced currently.
I'll keep these in mind... Why the heck didn't I look to invest in these a year ago haha...
Haha I made a few dash and dogecoin on reddit back in the day. The dogecoin isn't worth much, but the Dash is worth around $50 now :D
57 has always been my lucky number so why not! Also, as awesome as that crab is, I'd LOVE to see you do a narwhal ;)
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it! I'll be having a new random drawing tomorrow ☺
Yay!
666 :D
Since I'm really not that much into crypto, I'm fully betting on steem and steem seems to be undervalued right now. So what I've done with all my SBDs for now is converting them to steem and powering them up. Currently, I can't invest any money in the platform, but I can at least reinvest the fruits of my participation here and I view this as a prudent future investment as I'm sure Q1 or 2018 will see the price of STEEM increase significantly.
Thanks for your vote, but @natord already picked the same number... you can guess again if you want!
I agree about Steem, I already have some stored up so it's my biggest investment.
Looking forward to the SMT effect ☺ Thanks Dave!
735
Wohoo looks great! :D
I´m in with 77! :)
Thanks for stopping by @w0olf!
😄😁
Gratz on the wolf!
"Graz" @apsu!
Ripple is good. Also American Express recently announced that they will be using Ripple blockchain for crossborder payments,which is bound to increase value of Ripple.
Thank you @omstavan! :)
583
And check out sia, grid+, civi , & Golem to name a few
Thanks for stopping by! You missed it by 200 - it was 783 -
Hope I can start earning better here and then re-invest in some of those :)
Oh... a crab.. I'll go with my birthday since its my birth month... normally my guess would be 420.. today I'll go with 711.. july 11th...
Thanks for participating! I should have a new giveaway tomorrow that you can enter!
That must mean I lost... 😢😢😭😭😭
:( :(

555 is my pick.
I'm liking the XST Stealthcoin at current levels - as far as I know they are the 'cheapest' anon coin with functioning product and updates - just added ledger nano support etc. Marketcap is so low it's confusing..lol I am more a trader than investor with the alt coins, but I encourage you to have a look.
Thanks @grow-pro!
My pleasure 😎🔥🚀 Enjoy the ride
awwwww SNAP lolz
Somebody opened their coin purse 🤑
Wasn't me..LoL I'm just a shrimp to whales.
But I do know how to pick a good momo play.. And whales follow the shrimp 😉
Here's what i figure... I'll get more serious about trading once i learn to trade on a decentralized exchange... privacy is super important to me... till then, I'm kind of dabbling on the shallow end... haha...
Sadly life is way too busy for me to take a few afternoons off and catch up on the basics, but it's better than panic-buying and having 20 wallets of who knows what on 40 different usb sticks XD
I hear that, I'm a full time daddy of two (2&4) and scrambling to hold two loosely knit businesses together..lol Time is precious and we have to spend a little on whatever provides enough happiness to sustain - I get it. Hell, I'm a graphic artist starved into tomato farming 😆
the struggle is real
O & duuuude.. if you are ever interested in doing any collaborative creations, hit me on chat (same name, just . Instead of - (Steemit.chat changes the dash). I dig your style and I'd love to see what our combined force multiplier would be 🤘😎
472
PowerLedger is a good buy
Thanks! I'll have to check it out... Crypto is so fast paced and it's only getting nuttier!
Nuttier than a squirrel turd in an oak tree
STEEM is at .70 this morning... a good buy imo
