King Arthur wondered briefly, what his alchemist Merlin, who accidentally turned himself into gold, would feel, pushed into the melting pot.

Very cool effect style!

Wow, very good design, great picture, Lupus! :)

Cool gold design, Lupus! Following you now! 😎 🎉

5014 entries. Ranking with an average 2.91 points in the official Alchemist challenge. As if I would have been off-topic to get a minus-ranking by downvoting. I created this work for this challenge. It took me 70 creations to convince the AI to do this. At least in the Gold challenge on the same day, coincidentally, into which I submitted it afterwards, did recognise barely with an average point of 3.06 that this does indeed qualify as being of the color Gold, but either fairly badly done or being average. In the beginning of the vote though, it ranked much higher, til the downvoters flocked in there, too. Downvoting is the problem on NC. It may be unfairly to hit this latter chat room first, because on average it did not downvote me by a hair (but others it did): Instead of submitting to its next challenge, Fantastic Landscape, which theme I liked, I created it, but for myself, not getting it tarnished by downvoting. (I rarely submit the same creation into more than one game.)

The Color Gold challenge (secondary challenge) was finished first: 239th place out of 499 entries
