This is my 8th entry for the Pay It Forward contest initiated by @thedarkhorse.
The rules: Showcase 2 newbies with reputation at or below 50... with a 3rd optional presentation under the theme "someone who is positive or helps others."
This time, I bring you two talented newbies, but also two very different artists: one is an illustrator, the other: a comic strip author.
#1 - @wgustaman (44)
Gustaman is an Indonesian artist from Java Island and has joined SteemIt last month, May 2018. He uses SteemIt to display his own drawings and illustrations.
His drawings are creative, original and funny.
The post I've selected to showcase his work is: An Entry for "Crypto Art & Design Challenge [Round 12: Tron]"
This is an entry for a contest, which asks candidates to sumbit a work based on a famous artist and mixed it with Tron's logo. @wgustaman decided to use the famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and I think the end result is pretty good, even if the girl looks a bit more angry than in the original painting. (Maybe she's mad about Tron going down... just like the entire market?)
#2 - @blue-dragon (48)
I don't know much about this artist and I can't find his introduction post. I don't think there's one... but I enjoy his comics featuring the Blue Dragon character.
Here's his latest work, which I think it's pretty self-explanatory: Countdown to the World Cup
I hope you have enjoyed these artists and their works. If so, please follow and support them.
#3 - @soma909 (52)
For the optional part of the contest -- someone who is positive or helps others -- my candidate is @soma909.
He was one of the first to help me when my reputation crashed harder than Bitcoin, by constantly upvoting my posts and comments until I've recovered. (Once again, thanks.)
I see him constantly helping others, be it with upvotes, re-steems, helpful comments or by delegating Steem Power to new users.
Keep up with the good work, @soma909!
