INKTOBER Heavy illustration

Good day to everyone in the Onchain Art community! 🤗

ART

I’m excited to share my most recent ZINGtober 2025 contest entry, created for today’s prompt — HEAVY ⚖️.

For this piece, I wanted to explore the emotional and physical weight a creature might carry when facing a great burden. I started off planning a simple grayscale composition, but halfway through I decided to experiment — combining both black-and-white and colored tones to capture that balance between struggle and hope. 🎨

This fan art, drawn entirely by me, features my interpretation of the body builder 🍀, but in a different light — one that feels heavy both in atmosphere and meaning. I truly hope this illustration will be well received and that you enjoy the concept behind it. Please don’t forget to drop your thoughts and feedback in the comments — I’d love to hear what you think! 🙏

🖌️ About the Artwork

This piece was created digitally using a combination of color styles to experiment with new color theory contrasts. It took a bit longer than I expected (life’s been busy lately!), but I’m happy I managed to complete it just in time for the prompt.
