Halloween Art Competition

2011-10-19 [Goma]: Before I post it, I was wondering if this would fit the theme of "Vintage Halloween" to be honest its a broad subject http://elftown.com/stuff/Thirteen_DaysER.jpg?x=500&y=545
It's supposed to be the spirit of the holiday.

2011-10-19 [Yuriona]: Well we wanted to keep the theme relatively broad since making it too specific might keep some people from entering.
Question: Your drawing kinda reminds me of Jack from GaiaOnline especially with some of the 'items' he's wearing. Is it based on that?
As for fitting the theme... he does look kinda punk-ish and candy corn is as old as the hills so I think its ok.

What do you think [Rice]?

2011-10-19 [Rice]: I've never been on Gaia online, so I couldn't comment on that bit, however, I agree with the fact he looks pretty punky (the boots, the cloak etc). So I'd say it was fine.

2011-10-19 [Goma]: Actually, its based on a halloween costume I designed a couple years back. I'm just glad you guys think if fits the theme.

2011-10-19 [Rice]: It's awesome. :) I'd wear that outfit.

2011-10-19 [Goma]: Thanks :P

2011-10-26 [Lothuriel]: Just to make sure we are on target here, vintage refers to the period between the 1920's through the 1960's correct? 

2011-10-26 [Yuriona]: We're accepting any vintage really, like Victorian for example or the Dark Ages. Though I guess those are usually referred to as 'period' costumes. ^^

2011-10-26 [Lothuriel]: Ok, just checking! ^__^ I was working on something and thought I'd make 100% sure before I entered it!

2011-10-26 [Yuriona]: Thank you muchly! We'll be looking forward to seeing your entry. :D

2011-10-26 [Lothuriel]:

2012-10-09 [Mukki Tadi]: Missed last year so I'm definitely going to try this year :D

2012-10-16 [Nevermore.]: i have a portrait ive done of david from the lost boys (best vampire ever!!) I rewatch it every halloween! and id like to enter it but im not sure it would be accepted considering its a portrait and perhaps too much refrence?

2012-10-16 [SilverFire]: As long as it's not a tracing or a paint-over, referencing is usually fine, though we do ask that you could post the image you used as a reference along with your submission, so we can see that it is indeed a reference, and not a tracing. :) And since we don't actually have a rule against fan art, it should be fine. Though there should be something very obviously halloween-y in the image itself, rather than it relying on the viewer's knowledge of who the character is in order to make the halloween-connection, if that makes sense. :)

2012-10-16 [Nevermore.]: thanks! i will have a think about it anyway, might do something else if i get time =]

2012-11-01 [M!]: Is today the last day or has someone forgotten to change to contest to closed?

2012-11-01 [Mukki Tadi]: today's the last day :) And I never had the chance to make anything again this year ;(

2012-11-01 [SilverFire]: ET contests close at midnight (ET time) the date of the contest close, so it'll close at midnight tonight.

2012-11-02 [Mukki Tadi]: kk

2013-01-03 [Chel.]: Guys... it's new years. Think we can take the poll down and put up the Christmas one?

2013-01-03 [wicked fae mage]: The Christmas competition isn't over yet. But, I think the poll has been up long enough if somebody wants to put up another poll.
