Good evening! 🌙 We’re excited to announce the results of the 34th round of the Hive Art Gallery Contest!
This time, the winners are three stunning and diverse portraits — including one of a dragon!
A huge thank you to everyone who voted and supported the artists. Your engagement keeps our creative community alive and thriving! ❤️
The winners
🥇 1st place:
@afrikens - Neoxian City Talent Hunt - "The Dragon" - 57 pts - prize: 20% of the post's earnings + 300 Ecency Points
Your dragon drawing is incredibly detailed and powerful—every scale, horn, and tooth carries a sense of strength and motion. The shading and texture work really bring the creature to life, giving it a commanding, almost regal presence. You’ve clearly put in a lot of effort to make it not just a drawing, but a symbol.
🥈 2nd place:
@riqart Unspoken - 15 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 200 Ecency Points
Unspoken is a powerful portrait of a man whose silence speaks volumes. His intense yet distant gaze and clenched fist under his chin reveal inner struggle, unspoken emotions, and quiet strength. The yellow background, typically a symbol of joy, creates a striking contrast—representing hope that surrounds him, even if he can’t yet feel it. This piece captures the weight of unexpressed thoughts and the quiet resilience carried in stillness.
🥉 3rd place:
@tangerine5 Commissioned work - 14 pts - prize: 15 % of the post's earnings + 100 Ecency Points
That’s an impressive piece! The precision and depth you achieved using only a blue ballpoint pen are remarkable — the cross-hatching technique gives the portrait great texture and realism, especially in the facial features and fabric folds. The smooth tonal transitions and confident line work really showcase your control over the medium. It’s easy to see why your boss loved your previous drawing and trusted you with this one too — this portrait carries both personality and craftsmanship.
Congratulations to the winners! 🎉
