I've actually been wanting to post this for a while, but ThatSkyKid Discord Server had a cloud-tracing challenge a while back that I participated in. The goal was to take a picture of clouds somewhere out in the world, see a sky or birthday themed scene in them, and to sketch/trace it into reality. You could only use the colors white and black, were't allowed to pull cloud images from the internet, and you weren't allowed to put a watermark on your piece. (that was the only part I didn't get, but fair enough 🤣)
If I remember correctly, there were six spots to win. 6th-2nd were heart rewards that got higher the closer you got to 1st, and 1st place itself was the reward of either a $5 Discord Nitro or a $5 Seasonal Candle Pack!
This was how my piece turned out!-
I ofc added my signature/watermarks in after here, because I like this piece too much not to stamp my digital likeness on it.
And jic you don't trust that it's mine, here's my never-before seen progress shots ✨
Look at my art process go, wow 🚶 Makes me look more competent than I am, pahahaha.
The event was an absolute blast to participate in, and I was happy with what I accomplished, even if I wasn't to win anything. I was just happy to have the opportunity to work on a piece that didn't stress me out for once, lol. And admittedly, it was one that made me proud.
But, it seems fortune turned to me for once, and the staff liked my piece- because I did end up winning something. And not just any something, 1st place!! 🤩✨
I told friends and we totally geeked out about it ^0^
