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:
(with example shades of the colour)

@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!

Thanks for your support, donations and promotions this week!
Hi MC,
Brilliant contest!
I have suggestion for your contest to greatly increase prize money, and thereby increase number of entrants also: Charge the entrants to enter the competition - as many cents as their reputation. So I, with 67 reputation would pay 67 cents to enter, while a 25 rep noobie would only have to pay 25 cents.
Also all entrants should vote the post 100% and resteem it to be eligible to win.
You have done incredible work for the steemit art community and your enterprise deserves to grow!
Upvoted and resteemed :D
That sounds like a good idea, perhaps lowering it to 0.0(their level) as the value of Steem is really down atm and many potential entrants might not even have 25 cents.
I could also make the entry fee not mandatory for those who don't even have 1 cent yet.
Brilliant suggestion, I'll pop it in the suggestion box and see what the community says!
Or a free entry could be to win an upvote rather than cash sbd
Thank you MC!
I hope the community likes this idea. I think the 25 cent minimum is ok as it limits your workload and is not an impossible amount for anyone to save to enter your excellent competition... with such great cash prize potential too!
keep well :D
Here is this week's link @magiccleatus ! Thanks for mentionning my challenge ;-)
