We’re getting closer to the end of #zingtober (Hive's version of #inktober), and the second-to-last prompt is "VIOLIN." This is a straightforward prompt that doesn’t require much thought on what I’ll draw; however, I did wonder who would play the violin.
Out of all the Holomon choices, I chose Zingu!
I haven’t drawn Zingu in a while, so I figured I’d give it a try and see if I could portray him as a violinist. Given his physical traits, it would be challenging to imagine him playing a violin, so my goal was to make him look like he could actually pull it off. I had to stretch my imagination and make a few creative adjustments, but I managed to make it work!
Was it realistic enough... it doesn't matter, LOL.
Let me show you my creation process.

My intention is to put him in the spotlight to add a bit of drama to the scene.

Spotlight as the final effects!
Personally, it turned out well, considering I was a bit clueless at first, lol. As I progressed in the creation process, some ideas came to me that I realized could enhance the scene I was creating. The spotlight effect wasn’t part of my original plan, but I’m glad I added it since it worked out nicely.
Now that we’re just a day away from the contest closing—and yes, it is a contest with some cool prizes at stake—I’m not really aiming for the top prizes. I’d be happy just to snag the NFT achievement that comes with it. Last year, I received the Advent Calendar NFT, and for this #zingtober event, I believe there will be NFTs distributed based on each participant's contributions and the quality of their entries.
Wrapping up #zingtober has been such a rewarding experience, and I’m thrilled with how my entries turned out. It’s been a journey of creativity, experimentation, and plenty of unexpected twists along the way. Thanks for following along, and I’m looking forward to more creative challenges ahead!
I am not good at artistic creations but I like to watch who is good at making them and you are good. Very nice this Zingu violinist

I’m glad that you like this one.

So talented! 👍
Nice attempt man. I like how serious Zingu is focused on playing the violin. And the violin had Zs on it (though it looked like Zorro) to mark it as a personalized violin for Zingu.
