Thank you for providing an interdimensional fractally vibe to the project! It was definitely a unique perspective on art that I am glad was included. Expect an email in the next day or two.

Thank you for your amazing entry as well!! I am going to apply your submission to a specific song in the book (maybe my favorite song) and was wondering if you could make a couple small adjustments to the art? I will email you about it tomorrow.

I really liked the Avatar style vibe yours has goin! Definitely going to be a welcomed inclusion of summoning majik energy in the album book. Thank you again for donating your passion to this effort, and being a part of team manifest.

Thank you @feather.art! ! I'm glad you like it.!. 😊 Greetings.

@elamental You will have a lot of inspiration with all the cute pieces.

Absolutely my friend! Your entry was extremely unique, and reminds me of a local artist's work that I know - I have many of her prints:

In my room:

I really needed this art style to change things up and offer an additional layer of variety to the book. Your submission also represents a side of myself that could not have been implemented in a more appropriate visual fashion (consider the correlation to the art above). Also - the masculine images were slightly in the minority with submissions to this project, so it was nice to have one more to create a perfect balance in that regard.

Done!

Have any of you seen the new "Mushroom-Boss" elemental - @japex1226 made for @flauwy? - Holy majik-ballz!

Just confirmed - this one is going in the album book as well!

I concur good sir.

The pieces you entered were some of my favorites, especially the earlier entry - that one with the scales was in my top 3 favorite submissions overall.

A thrash to the head fracturing the mind and leaving a burning scar on the psyche, displaying an expression of utter disbelief. The ELAmental scales being made unbalanced by an outside force stealing from my water side (I am a pieces moon sign) with No Consent. As a result, my fire side (Sagittarius sun sign) tipped over causing direct wounds to my heart. The smoky cloudy hair of wind, the electric lightning coursing through the veins...

This painting is likely the best visual depiction that could have ever been conceived for the earlier stages of traumatizing events that led to the inspiration of this album Power of Truth, and a couple of the initial songs I composed for it thereafter.

This design barely missed the cover & top prize, but rest assured it will be represented EARLY in the book - I may use it for the intro, I already wrote the text that will correspond with this image in the book (will post soon - variation of the my above interpretation). Thank you again & endless gratitude for such a ridiculously amazing entry!! Your other entry was also hella badass for much more obvious reasons. Keep arting brotha, you are quite the talent! Bless the method.

Heya! @lisbethseijas Thank you! I'm glad to see you! Blessings!

Thank you for providing THE ONLY cannabis themed submission! I really needed that. I may want a small adjustment to enhance the human depicted there if that is possible? I will email you details, I still have your email somewhere from a previous contest...

I will be hosting another design contest shortly for yet another alternate event logo. Do not think I forgot the awesome logo / custom divider you crafted for @Abundance.Tribe when I hosted that contest.

Did you see the new collage graphic I made with that idol symbol and many of the other Hive community logos I am heavily involved with?

Just the highest pixel count possible for the image you will email me. The book will be 6x9 (I think), but I am going to arrange pictures and text in non traditional formats (have you ever read "Be Here Now"?), so some pages will require the readers to turn the book after they turn the page - multiple turns, lets call it scratching, the tables always turn.

I have another logo contest coming up very soon. Stay tuned into the right frequencies for it.

Thank you! Yes! All the pieces are great, it's a great project and the book will look nice.

Your design was also in my top 3 favorite entries. The Ares Power of Truth Hive Hero with wings of Spawn*. I already mentioned to you when you submitted this design my affinity for Todd McFarlane art. This was right up my ally and I am definitely super grateful to include this submissions in the book. This will be one of the pages I turn sideways so the full epicenes of the image is delivered. I really like how he is descending down from a higher realm with his Truth sword! Stellar Spirit of Battle, and certainly another appropriate synchronicity for my album story.

IDEA!

Slap a Hive logo on that belt!!

What more can I say than what I have already described in this post, and in the comments of your entry post (click link to check it out if you haven't already folks). Great job sliding this in on the last day of the entry period. I (we) can certainly tell you poured some time, love, and passion into this one (as well as the other two). Great job utilizing all the time available to you.

Let's carve the album title Power of Truth into those rock faces, one word for each in-between waterfall area, and then enscript ELAmental in the front bottom grass. Seeing those other two alternate drawings with color and grading like your main submission would be epic beyond reason! I am putting the sketch/black-and-white alternate Gaia version (depicted below) on the back cover as well (so much area for song names and credits - perfect), colored version inside somewhere with some added elements like the winning entry (obviously different features that that however), along with the other alternate version.

Your enp/tree elemental you submitted is another important depiction of some of the emotions I struggled with throughout the album creation process. Trying to control the uncontrollable defiantly caused some anger and resentment I had to work though, so I am absolutely glad you submitted this. It will be a compelling visual for that part of the story.

While I am note a huge Lord of the Rings fan (I do like the saga however - it's just not my absolute favorite), the Enps (tree-herders) were certainly my favorite part of the story. Treebeard (Fangorn in Sindarin) is my homie haha.

Can you please send me your email so we can coordinate the retrieval of a high pixel count image of your submission for the physical book publication? Thank you so much for talented work on this project!

Thank u so much 😍.

@nymia.aryn - thank you so much for your wonderful inclusion. The lightning mermaid elemental is certainly a unique work. I love how she is good with water AND electricity - immune to shock... like me at this point haha!

Can you please provide your email address (or other direct contact/messaging info ie Discord or Telegram), or send it to me on bee.chat? I need you to email me the high resolution version of the artwork (highest pixel count possible). Hive has a limiter on image resolution uploads. Thank you so much, blessings, and talk soon.

Your entries were an interesting take on the concept, and an intuitive depiction (on your part) of someone I know who helped me though some pretty rough times recently. I really like the elk-horned mermaid version you came up with as well (maybe of someone I have yet to meet). Those will have a valued place in this printing.

I am actually making it a point to not print links or ads for any mainstream media sites in the actual book. I will however be printing the link for this publication in the book, so folks can travel here from the book to find your above link (and your direct email if you choose to leave it here). Of course your Hive (Peakd) blog url will be included as well, where you can choose to link any URL at the top of your blog.

If you (or anyone) have a personal website for your art/portfolio, I will gladly print that. This is what I meant, and I apologize for not specifying that in the op. I sent an inquiry to your address.
