Draw a single page of our book, and if we use it, you collect an upvote bounty. Here is the cover @jogreh made us:
Here is a template design that you can use to derive your own unique version of Olivia (the main character of the story). It is ok if your style is RADICALLY different in all design aspects except COLOR
And here is the gold bike that Olivia rides later on in the story
Upvotes of $1100 were awarded to @jogreh for creating the final Olivia and Book Cover, and $700 to @shuta for the title and initial interpretation that inspired @jogreh. We also awarded ninoh22 $200 for kicking off this contest with an avalanche of inspiring hard work.
They have effectively opened the door for the creation of over 20 new bounties in the form of pages in this book. Now everyone can submit pages of the book using their own individual artistic interpretaion of the main character:
Make sure you use the same color palette that @jogreh gave us earlier.
Feel free to draw or portray Olivia in your own unique artistic style but keep the original color scheme.
Everything in parenthesis is a bounty. We will accept completed pages from any artist because, we think that it makes a great marketing/teaching strategy. This is a living(changing) document. First person able to portray a page with style gets the bounty, and their picture goes in that slot. Anybody who does it better than that afterward gets at least as much, up to $1000 as usual lately.
The beauty of this book cover is that it is at night to strike the contrast between shiny gold and black. Now that this has been imprinted subliminally, we are now free to place the main character back into a daytime setting for purpose of being able to add more detail to every page of illustration.
So please make all pages set in daytime lighting. Even though something is difficult stylistically does not mean that we cannot master it, hopefully we can pull off something amazing, and rarely done (a celebration of diverse styles), but like @jogreh has taught us, COLOR IS KEY!
Notice that @shrazi has already done some incredibly inspirational work for us:

(Page 8)($500)( picture of Olivia in all kinds of different gold jewelry (to imply that she is breaking off the superstar by the minute) with the word "bling" somewhere in the picture, she is riding a gold bike on 1 wheel like a boss with her face on the bike talking back to her as the superstar)
“You can divide me into as many pieces you like Olivia “ said the superstar.
Olivia laughed,
(Page 9) (runner up)($200)
and laughed
(Page 10) (runner up)($200)
and laughed
(Page 11)($200)
When Olivia rode back, there was a crowd of people around the superstar.
(Page 12)($200)
Olivia showed the townspeople her new talking gold bike, and they wanted talking gold things too.
(Page 13)($200)
The superstar explained, "only Olivia can choose my pieces because she touched me first."
"Tell me what you want," Olivia said to the townspeople, and so she made

(give me your best Dr Seuss here: $100 per idea used)
(Page x+1) a golden __________(what?) for__________(who?)
(Page x+2) a golden __________(what?) for__________(who?)
(Page x+3) a golden __________(what?) for__________(who?)
(I dont know ..how many is a good total number?) (and each item has Olivia's face on it, and the superstar could talk to them through its own Olivia face, probably most of the townspeople are listening to their new shiny talking gold item...every wish from the townsfolk is something with Olivia's face. Many $100 bounties to give for pictures of your best ideas!)
(page 14)($200)
Suddenly a bird crash landed next to Olivia.
It was covered in pollution.
(Page 15)($200)
"You are the bird I was watching today," Olivia said
"My name is Happie" said the bird.
"Why are you so dirty now?" Olivia asked.
"The coin makers polluted my home," said Happie.
"Show me," Olivia said.
(Page 16)($200)
Happie took Olivia to where the birds lived.
There were people everywhere.
They were polluting the lake where Happie's friends were trying to take a bath.
(Page 17)($200)
"Why are you polluting Happie's home?" Olivia asked them.
"We are miners," they explained. "We make shiny gold coins and pollution."
(Page 18)($200)
"I have talking gold coins," Olivia said.
Then she gave the miners some of her talking coins that she had made from The Superstar.
(Page 19)($200)
The miners were so impressed that they stopped mining and talked to their new Olivia-Coins.
(Page 20)($200)
Because the miners stopped working, the water became clean enough for Happie to wash the pollution from his feathers.
(Page 21)($200)
Then, Steemjet landed next to the lake.
(Page 22)($200)
Space Force Captain Shartzy walked out and told Olivia that he followed the superstar here because it can clean planets that are also being polluted by miners.
"Do you want to clean another planet?" Shartzy asked Olivia?
"Of course!" Olivia laughed.
(Page 23)($200)
They all got into Steemjet and launched into the sky.
(Page 24)($200)
As they flew past the moon, Olivia's coin turned into a piece of paper with a QR code.
(Page 25)($500)
She looked at it and could still see her face in it.
The superstar said to her, "you can still divide me into pieces, just take my picture, and you can text away as many pieces of me as wou wish.
"WOW," said Olivia, "I'm a Superstar too!"
(Page 26) Olivia took a picture of the QR code with her phone and sent Olivia-Coins a group text to every person on planet.
THAT IS ALL I GOT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
TOO LONG?
TOO SHORT?
JUST RIGHT?
ANY BETTER ENDING IDEAS?
Combining much of our crypto class in this book now allows us to simplify our Steemjet course into 3 packages instead of the planned 4.
The 3 lesson plans are based on the 3 costs that humans experience.
time cost - What used to be Lesson 4 (what can crypto do for me) - Crypto apps must be able to save people time and money by helping them become more efficient in their day to day survial activity/job.
money cost - Crypto apps in the future will all be nearly free, and therefore dificult to ever eliminate completely
environmental cost (covered by the book Olivia and the Superstar) - If you live in a bad environment, you must deal with hunger, mean people, dangerous wildlife, bad weather, and a number of other immediate physical dangers to your survival
Now that we have isolated the environmental cost aspect from the time and money cost aspect, we might be able to combine the time and money discussion into 1 lesson due to the fact that "cost and utility" are apparent and integral to the success of all crypto.
So it looks like we have a new steemjet structure.
We Land and read "Olivia and the Superstar"
And then we introduce "A Fundamental Analysis of the Blockchain Business"
Money costs (previously Lesson 3)(free currencies with positive mining incentives like STEEM are nearly impossible to kill and therefore might last as long as BTC)
Opportunity costs (TIME) previously Lesson 4 (what else can I do with it?)(time is money and therefore must choose wisely how to invest it)(early adopters will even pay to use coins that provide them a service that maximizes their time and money in their day to day use (over time).
Environmental costs (previously lessons 1 and 2)(hurt our family and friends, therefore, since we want live and party, we must choose BTC over GOLD when we are young, broke, and still have a choice what to choose as our agreed upon value storage device to invest our time into over the course of our lives). This lesson is the easiest to learn if you care about water pollution. And who does not care about water pollution.
Part 1 - Olivia and the Superstar. Crypto mining is more environmentally friendly than gold mining. Anyone can obtain, use, and operate eternally especially if energy is cheap.
Part 2 - What Can Crypto Do For Me (survival of the fittest = who can provide the best services for the lowest costs).
