Hive Art Gallery Bests #3

We’re not hiding it—this time, very few votes were cast. The result would have been a tie, with three authors each receiving 3 points, if it weren’t for @kawa-i-kredki, who also participated in the voting and earned 3 bonus points, putting them ahead of the competition. So we want to remind everyone that it’s worth voting! Let’s hope for more voters in the next round.

🥇 1st place: @kawa-i-kredki 36 Kormoran / Cormorant - 6 pts - prize: 40% of the post's earnings

This digital artwork depicts a cormorant standing on a rock near a calm lake, with its wings spread wide as if drying them. A tree grows nearby, and the peaceful background features soft mountains and a serene sky.

The author shared that they drew a cormorant and decided to add more background details than usual since they had extra time in the evening. They mentioned that if time were unlimited, they would have used crayons, and noted they needed to fix a small dot that appeared in the wrong place.
