8. “Sofia’s Thoughts”, by @nftanothersigma & @MangoscamEth
Sofia’s Thoughts by @nftanothersigma and @MangoscamEth takes the use of repeating patterns to new heights, incorporating the same bright geometric design into items as diverse as the lampshade and wallpaper, even including the subject’s clothing. Golden-faced and slightly pensive, Sofia faces the viewer seated on what might be the most fun detail of all – a cookie dough beanbag chair!
From the artist’s description:
“And when I sit down to think, I get caught by voices and flood my head with a sea of ideas that trickles and drains around me. My room becomes a nest from which I don't want to fly, but my wings have already spread and controlling them will be impossible. Silence surrounds me and accompanies me to be, to be, to feel, but a colorful melody makes me dance and sing my thoughts to the rhythm of a sublime desire.

7. “1956 Kingston T-450 (RAC Edition)”, by @Nektarios555
1956 Kingston T-450 (RAC Edition) by @Nektarios555 is the badass pickup truck your classic car club will admire for years to come. Lovingly crafted and optimally displayed, you’ll want to take her for a run around town yourself. From the artist’s description:
“The "1956 Kingston T-450" is a true classic and a favourite amongst many, nowadays. What you are witnessing, here, is a restoration project carried out by "Reaper's Angels Customs (RAC)", a tuning and restoration company located in the U.S.A. . Which, undoubtedly, have done a pristine job in restoring this T-450 to its glory. Besides the paint-job, rims and a few modern touches to the engine in order to aid the acceleration and top speed, this T-450 is as close as you will get to a T-450 rolling off the production line in 1956. RAC have "washed" off the rust and gave back to the world a true gem.”

5. “Raveryn”, by @harshitdave
Raveryn by @harshitdave illustrates a beautiful world where water is generated from giant mechanical doughnuts to produce a lush landscape below. The rising mist and use of the aerial atmosphere create an ethereal feeling that permeates the work. From the artist’s description:
“The otherwise barren Distant Land of RAVERYN, as alluring as it looks, only gets its beauty from the waters.
The water here is minted through portals to keep the world of Raveryn flourishing.”

4. “Oblivious to oblivion”, by @ScottBatemanArt
The video Oblivious to oblivion by @ScottBatemanArt presents a typical jogger out for a leisurely run – typical and typically oblivious to their dystopian environment of careening drill worms and flying saucers and pacing giants. Be sure to click through to the video to enjoy the runner’s reverie – as well as the piano composition by Sarah Bateman. From the artist’s description:
“The majority of the human race live in their own happy little bubble, totally oblivious to their surroundings and uninterested in what is happening around them. Ignorance is bliss... as they say...”

1. “P.L.U.R. Mantra”, by @MJuventa
P.L.U.R. Mantra by @MJuventa is a perfect self-portrait. Utilizing the artist’s signature palette (that aquamarine and pink though!) and a selection of fun textures and digital brushes, Milana captures herself in a moment of hope. Eyes gleaming with hope, nose and nose ring and mouth and chin like a succession of haloes, and surrounded by hearts, it’s an example of digital painting at its finest and most expressive.
“It's a good time to remember the legacy of the free generation. All we need is PLUR - Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. Let it be!”
