Thank you everyone so much for participating and making this a really exciting and fun (I hope). This was definitely a hard choice as there are so many lovely dragons with so many personalities and different styles.

You can check all of the entries and original posts here

1st place (my choice-15SBD): @jnart Vidderna


Swedish Ice Dragon "Vidderna" by @jnart - ( dragoncontest by @kristyglas )
The steps are shown very clearly in the post as well as a backstory of how @jnart met Vidderna. I fell in love with the little dragon and its huge eyes. The fingers provide a great reference of the dragon's size and adds additional realism to the dragon. The coloring technique is beautifully executed, with many details shown with only 1 color and roughly 3 shades of blue.


This was also the popular choice. Entrants can win only 1 of the categories, so the 2nd place winner is the next dragon in line with only 1 vote less.

2nd place (the popular vote-15SBD): @whistlejacket


Dragon Art Contest - My PET DRAGON
A total of 7 votes and 5 if counting only 1st choices.




The dragon is really cute with a lovely mythical name Andromeda. The texture is used well and the post reveals how it was done.

3rd place (random generated pick-5SBD): @jameshsmitharts


Cyber Dragon for dragoncontest - Pen & Color Pencil

This choice was picked by number generator. Beforehand I assigned a number to every entry.

I compiled all of the votes here

Honorable Mentions (1SBD)

I loved soo many of the entries and it was really hard to pick only one, so I had to increase the prize pool a bit thanks to your upvotes for the contest.

Thank you very much for participating! :D
I got to meat and follow so many new artists thanks to this competition. Before that it was so hard to find artists with Steemit tags. Competitions really bring artists together, challenge and motivate those who want to start drawing.
It was really a pleasure to see all of the dragons ^^

Wow! Thank you so much @kristyglas and to the community who voted for me. I'm humbled and honoured. My dragon Andromeda is absolutely beside herself!

Congratulations!! ^-^

Congrats to the winners.

Congratulations to all the winners! This successful contest definitely bared an overflowing pool of creativity. 😊

Thank you for honorable mention :) It was a very cool contest with really interesting and diverse dragons in art style and technique, hope to see more contests in the future!

Thank you so much for participating! Your Steemit dragon really looks great ^ ^

Thanks @kristyglas! Not sure I could do your job as all the dragons were great.

I think random pick is a fair way to give everyone a chance to win ^^ To reward the effort and more fun.
Your dragon is great, the lineart is even better. You could make beautiful coloring books with that technique.
Edit: now I understood your sentence haha
Yeah picking wasn't easy for sure, which is why I added honorable mentions as well :)
