**********Remember keep an eye out for new stock*********************

!!!!!!!ALL THINGS DARK, KREEPY AND HALLOWEENY!!!!!!

WHAT frightens you? (dont tell anyone I told you but for me its homicidal clowns, anything that messes up peoples eyes or air conditioning vents--- yeah you heard me right- its a long story) What is your favorite creepy crawling, fear inspiring setting, what was your scariest ever constume or mean evil prank--- in essense what deep dark thing embodies scary halloween to you?

Show me in your visual medium. Looking for entries be they drawing, digital or physical paintings and the ever beloved photomanipers. This leaves plenty of interpretation for you artists... could be a walk down a creepy corridor, a monster under the bed or a good old wolf out transformation from human to monster. Dark, Surreal, even bloody gore all have thier place in any good halloween ho down so they have thier place here.

Clarification/Disclaimer due to an email I recieved- this contest isnt about spirituality but more of a movie monster, racing hearts and screaming in terror- what creeps people out event. hehehe I am more interested in a good booga booga scare or even a deep evil emotional unrest. as long as its fits into the halloween theme. I am completely uninterested in making a political statement or condoning any religion over any other.

-OFFICIAL RULES-
ONLY 3 ENTRIES Per Person
MUST USE my stock as main subject- not just slapping one of my props on as a sideline and passing that off as good enough) use of people stock will get you more points than use of prop stock- THOUGH if you make one of my props the main focus and turn them into an actual character thats another story and gets full credit
MUST properly credit and follow the rules off any other stock sources
ONLY stock, brushes and backgrounds FROM DA or your OWN PERSONAL work may be used (this means no sxc or bought background etc)
MUST BE A NEW original piece designed for this contest
MUST BE SUBMITTED BETWEEN October 5th and 31st and
MUST NOTE ME with a note that says Halloween Contest Submission-- MUST NOTE- comments do not always get answered in a timely manner and have been know to get missed now and then- NOTES I never miss


-JUDGES-
*Osorris (me), ~LadyD666, *HiddenYume-stock, ~ladydove7-stock and *closemyeyes-stock
JUDGING will be based on

THEME!! (most important to me- I want to see some ingenuity here- scary monsters, creepy situations, elaborate settings)
Composition
Blending and color use
Originality (anyone can stick a girl on a broom or pick up a pumpkin that doesnt make it a great halloween piece)

Hi,

How do I enter the contest??

:thumb66431165:
in order to enter... you simply create your entry (following the liste rules), wait till after October 5th to upload it as a submission and then send me a NOTE with the title Halloween contest entry and a link to your submission in your note :D.
Just follow the rules and easy as pie. I should have a good bit of new stock uploaded in the next two days so you will have more options to create your work.
