In the spirit of Curie's mission to promote undiscovered but exceptional content, we wish to use this twice weekly section to provide an author showcase for some of the outstanding authors who received Curie upvotes in past week. Curie curators and reviewers nominate authors for inclusion in this showcase and author approval is sought and attained.

It is time to get the Curie Author Showcases started back up. We do apologize for not posting the last couple due to the curation stoppage connected to HF20. Everything is now back to normal, and all Curie operations are underway once again.
If you haven't already, be sure to go check out the details for the Curie Comments Contest. We are giving away 91 Steem every week just for leaving good thoughtful comments on all of the Curie upvoted posts. You can find the results to the last contest and all of the rules here - Curie Comments Contest Results

Most of the time I prefer to choose posts for the Author Showcase from a wide range of categories. However, sometimes there are just too many great posts from one topic to leave them out. That's when we have a Showcase that features three art related posts out of the five chosen, like today's post.

@livibee brings the idea to life in this time lapse video taking us through the entire painting process. My favorite part was watching the Sandworm take shape with the many different shadings and layers.
Go watch the full time lapse video and let @livibee know who you think won the battle.

Next up we follow @alfie-hart to the UK for another great bit of reporting and competing on the Windsurfing competition circuit. It always amazes me how he can not only film a good portion of the competition, and do some reporting on them, while also competing in them. After I pointed that out in my comment on the post he shared the following -
I originally imagined I would post to Steemit primarily about the vegetable garden and I will continue to do so . . . however my freelance film work within the Windsurfing world took off more than expected this year with Windsurfing.TV and I found that little stories about the making of some of the films and events have made interesting reading/watching.
As far as competing at British events - whilst filming is tricky and this post kinda sums up the challenges faced. In fact this particular day I struggled to feed myself properly and had my lunch at 4pm!! having started a 7am!! I'm super lucky to have work in something I'm passionate about.

Our next art post comes to us from one of the most talented artists I have seen here on the blockchain, @shibasaki. He always shares such detailed posts with all the steps in the process and usually a great video as well. He is also a great teacher which you can see for yourself when scanning through his blog page. Recently he talked about how some of his students get discouraged because they try to imitate his work rather than learn the processes and make their own creations. It is easy to understand why they cannot reproduce his work with as good as it is.

He has had some recent health issues (which you can also read about on his blog page) It is great to see him back at work producing amazing art, whether it be a simple country house, or a rainy city street.
Go watch him at work bringing this rainy road to life.

I Love You - Short Film

The premise of the film is simple - a woman is anxiously awaiting her boyfriend to say those three words for the first time. Her friend suggests she drops some subtle hints. Advice the woman takes, but apparently doesn't quite know the meaning of subtle, and of course the boyfriend can't take a hint. It leads them on a frantic and hilarious journey through their relationship - and all in under 7 minutes.
Go watch the short film, and check out @distantsignal's blog page where you will also find a behind the scenes video.

I always love seeing the process pictures behind the artwork, and @lovesoldier69 definitely gave us an in-depth look into the process. Sharing everything from very rough sketch right up to the final coloring of the comic.
It is a great little story that can help many on their journey. I love the final moral that I take away from the story - Sometimes things don't work out the way you planned. Instead of being miserable about that, why not enjoy where you end up?
Go check out the full process and read their story behind this great comic.
