🥈 2nd place:

@kawa-i-kredki [PL /ENG] #46, Chłopiec z balonem 🎈/ A boy with balloon - 5 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings

This digital artwork features a lone figure holding a red balloon against a striking, surreal backdrop of swirling blue circles. The scene evokes a sense of mystery, as the boy seems to either be standing still, contemplating, or perhaps having just started a journey.

The artist reflects on their love for drawing night scenes, even though she's more of a daytime person. In this piece, the boy holding a balloon might represent a moment of pause or transition, leaving the interpretation open-ended — whether the boy is standing or leaving is left up to the viewer's imagination.
