Illustration for my novel 'The Lighthouse of Miracles'/ Lunanueva y Naná. Ilustración para mi novela "El Faro de los Milagros". [ENG-ESP]](https://hive.blog/hive-174301/@maiasun84/newmoon-and-nana-illustration-for) - 41 pts - prize: **20% of the post's earnings** + **300 Ecency Points**  This delicate illustration portrays a tender moment between two characters — a blue-haired woman and a small girl with golden hair, peacefully asleep in her arms. The flowing hair of both figures, adorned with stars and flowers, creates a sense of movement and connection. Soft colors and gentle lines enhance the dreamlike, nurturing atmosphere. It's a touching image that radiates warmth, safety, and the magic of childhood. 🥈 **2nd place:** **@seey-art** [Lonely Swing]](https://hive.blog/hive-174301/@seey-art/lonely-swing) - 11 pts - prize: **15% of the post's earnings** + **200 Ecency Points**  This expressive drawing captures a quiet moment of a young boy sitting on a swing, viewed from behind. Rendered using a vivid scribble technique, the piece conveys texture and emotion with energetic pen strokes and layered colors. The boy’s posture — slightly slouched, one leg hanging — suggests a sense of stillness or solitude, contrasting the typical joy associated with swings. The use of scribbles adds depth and movement, making the image feel alive despite its calm theme. 🥉 **3rd places**: - **@anushkasarangi** [A MOODY NIGHT IN THE WOODS](https://hive.blog/hive-177717/@anushkasarangi/a-moody-night-in-the-woods-sza0up) - 9 pts - prize: **15% of the post's earnings** + **100 Ecency Points**  This atmospheric painting captures a quiet forest path at night, bathed in cool shades of blue and turquoise. The use of gouache adds depth and richness, while the gradual fade into misty blues creates a calming, dreamlike mood. The moonlight subtly illuminates the path, drawing the viewer inward and evoking a sense of wonder and serenity. It's a beautifully composed piece that balances mystery with peacefulness. ___ ## **Congratulations to the winners!** 🎉 Remember, the contest is ongoing!
