This is my entry for the Pay It Forward Curation Contest - 1 Year Anniversary 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. Exceptionally, this week, I'll be featuring 2 Steemians picked from my previous entries.
This week I want to present you with a couple of original artists: @blue-dragon and @marya77.
Here's the preview of both featured posts:
#1 - @blue-dragon (52)
@blue-dragon joined the Steem Network over a year ago, on January 29, 2018. He's a Cartoonist, Illustrator and a Metal Fan.
I've featured his work 10 months ago, and my featured post for this week is:
@blue-dragon keeps posting regularly and unfortunately, his rewards haven't changed much. Let's try to change that this week, eh?

#2 - @marya77 (61)
@marya77 is an artist from Iran who joined Steem on April 21, 2018 and she has been posting almost everyday, often two times a day!
I've featured her about 8 months ago and my featured post this week is her most recent painting with coffee, published just a few hours ago:
@marya77 is an example of consistency... and over the last few weeks that consistency is finally paying off, as she finally moved out of the $0.10 to $0.15 rewards she was getting in each post. It was about time! (I'm so happy for you, @marya77! Keep up with the great work!)

# Final Thoughts
At the time I'm writing this, both posts have little rewards, with $0.29 and $0.10, which is ridiculously low.
I think @blue-dragon and @marya77 are very talented artists and I hope they can keep growing and evolving their talents using this platform.
I'd like to point out that the NTopaz project is exclusively dedicated to artists and their artworks and I believe you can take advantage of this, to increase your exposure on this platform. (You can use your STEEM keys to login at that site; Any post from NTopaz will be automatically visible in SteemIt.)
Please give them some love and support. Any help is appreciated.
