magiccleatus (57)in #zencolouringcontest • 6 years ago (edited)

Hey Steemians!

Week 20!! of #zencolouringcontest starts now!

Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).

The featured colour this week is Orange
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:

@sallybeth23 donated 2.0 SBD last week, Thank you!

The inspiration for this weeks pattern comes from the logo of my favourite band of all time, Pendulum. Their new album 'The Reworks' releases on Friday and they have already teased 4 tracks from the album. I had always admired the logo design since their very first album. Trying to re-imagine the logo in my own way, this is what was created.

During the creation of this I learnt some new techniques and tools on Krita that have really benefited the future creation of these stencils!

I look forward to see what you all create!

Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!
