Been making suspected bitcoin creator. Without them, there will be no BTCitcointalk.

How would there be no bitcointalk without Dorian and Craig Wright?...

How do you think this is? Is it beautiful? I worked hard on it.
Is digital an art? 

I wonder what you think.

wow I took the tour and was truly enlightened   .

The art gallery idea works very well with the spirit of the 10th year contest, and you included some really impressive pieces in the VR gallery, well done.

This is pretty cool. It’s very similar to what I toyed around with a couple of weeks ago, and although I found quite a few virtual art gallery options, not many were free. The coolest I played around with was on the ipad, and not open to all, but rather by invite (so I trashed it).

@Kalemder implementation is nice, and covers what I tried to do, succeding well in delivering a nice idea.

I think nobody properly appreciates the androgynous vulpine form. You know that site doesn't share the forum's onerous censorship policies; you can use the NSFW version of my work (which isn't even that NSFW, really) if you're not the sort of person to cover Michelangelo's David.

@Vispilio, @DdmrDdmr, @Foxpup Thank you very much for your comments.

There are a ton of submissions; I'm finding it more difficult to judge than I'd thought. Hopefully people won't be too offended by my attempt at giving "effort grades" via merit.

I'd appreciate it if people could help in these ways:
 - Give at least 1 merit to meritorious submissions.
 - If people are stealing artwork (ie. not just using stock images, but true plagiarism), leave them negative trust.
 - If I give someone 10+ merit but the artwork is much simpler than it appears at first (eg. a fairly simple manipulation of something that already existed), post about it in this thread.

I'm aware than I'm giving merit for some pretty low-effort things, but IMO it's OK as long as they put at least an hour or two of effort into it. I only want to end up giving BTC/badges to truly substantial & original creations, though.

As per my understanding, there will be only 1 prize of 1 bitcoin to the best submission. Am i right ?

No. 1 BTC will be distributed among probably dozens of people. It will also not be an equal division. No one person will receive 1 BTC (unless my mind is absolutely blown by something and I decide to increase the total amount).

Some of the merit sources are out of merit, maybe increasing the source merit for this period while the competition is on will help to choose the best ones.
Many people have already zeroed their merit stashes around the first 10-15 pages of the thread.

Here's a list of the MS in need https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5198889.0

Love it probably not suitable to the art contest because its not all your content and would go against one of the rules of the contest but having some of the more merited pieces of art in a VR showcase would be fitting in my opinion to allow members to immerse themselves instead of scrolling through a thread it also has the benefit of condensing the thread down not only into a visual representation but gets rid of the low quality submissions.

Yeah, I could do with some more merits, got very few left after meriting only a couple people. I wanted to wait until near the end of the contest a go through all the posts and merit the most worthy ones, but even that may be difficult if I'm meriting other posts on the forum day to day.

I don't envy theymos, over 2 weeks left and there are already hundreds of submissions

Can do!

Knowing this forum, there's probably more, but I'll be checking while compiling my list of entries to merit (which I've been doing specifically to avoid the problem iasenko mentioned).

What do you think will happen to me, when they see this thing? would I be harmed or imprisoned?
This is an idea just pop up on my head recently, I don't want to cause any problem to the community or to give Bitcointalk a bad reputation.
I just want to celebrate the 10 years Anniversary with my own Idea of artwork. cause I fear that this drawing might get me in trouble in the future, what do you think will happen to me guys?

[Bttzed03]

If they have more than one entry, they should just put them all in the same post.

This is what I understood or what I had in mind when I first created this thread. Someone started submitting their other entries in another post then everyone else did the same.

Controversial art is the best type of art imo.

Guys, who have any predictions regarding the winners? What work did you personally like the most? Or do you think that the future winner has not yet published his art?

No one can predict who is the winner in contest.

If about reward 1-20 badges to best art. I think there are 45% Digital Art, 45% Real Art. And 10% is cake art

I think it is an architectural art. So is digital architecture. Thank you for your thoughts. I tried to do something different and impressive. (Also, I have two artworks, including work at the entrance.)

Note: I added artist descriptions. I will add new works over time.
