Spooky Month is best month.

 

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

Crabshack bros have been trolling @thegooddoctor about drawing a "bowl of apples", which has lead to a creative boom:

Count me in. Will there be a separate place where to submit the artwork or do we just post it in this thread?

As an oldfag artist, I do frown upon AI art but I do acknowledge my opinion is irrelevant.

 

[John Titor]

It didn't take long but I just got an idea. Unfortunately that idea disturbs me.

 

[Kela de Thaym]

Ah what the hell, I’ll give this a shot, just have to alter my style so it can’t be traced back to me elsewhere. Not sure if I’ll go with Patrick Tomlinson or Foodie Beauty… or Cyraxx.

I'm guessing submissions will happen in this thread. That's how it was with the Christmas contest: people submitted their art in the same thread as the announcement.
Unless nully specifies otherwise I think it's a safe bet

 

[Cronkle]

Hell yeah. I love art contests. Might do something related to Nick Bate, he's easily the scariest cow out there.
Or maybe a Chris Chan / Norman Bates thing, but that might be a bit too cliché lol

(p.s. Could I get my trophy for contributing to the Christmas background pls, thanks)

Should do something involving our favorite monkey fucker from Cincinnati, Ohio

 

[Mao Hao Hao]

Ooh a Halloween one, I love doing horror art, I may have to make something creepy for this, even if it doesn't get picked, it'll help with my current art block.

 

[Dialtone]

I like drawing

It'd have to be Cyraxx because the other two wouldn't fit in a portrait orientation.

 

[IKOL]

AI allowed?

AI tards BTFO, KYS.

Did you ask @Maskull first?

You mean have he asked me first and foremost (he haven't, BUT I have some ideas for an image already)

 

[Nonconsentual Pronouns]

I'm picturing a classic-style movie theater promo poster (the kind that's made from photos, all red with the details being black with no shading or colors) of Cyrax superimposed onto the background screeching while some THOTs and broccoli bois in the foreground all make Youtube thumbnail faces while pointing, holding up their phones and flailing their giant fake nails. I'm not talented enough to make that happen, but it's funny to imagine.

Shit, come to think of it, horror movie posters would be an amazing theme; kind of similar to the comic book covers and pages.

 

[Coelacanth]

I'll throw my hat into the ring. Need to pick up drawing again and horror is my thing so count me in. Haven't decided what to do yet, will probably be themed around horror movies from the 70's-80s.

 

[Hongourable Madisha]

I've been spending too long in Stinkditch. Dr Sneed properly scares me so I thought she'd make a good horror movie villain.

 

[Kongou Posting]

Well, Seeing the movie poster theme finally gave me an idea of what text to put on the image.

Seeing as my last post transforming Ethan Ralph into a chaos marine did pretty well, I figured I'd do it again for the art contest, though with more of a Chaos Guntivided theme. It's a bit less obvious it's Ralph, but I tried to make the helmet's rebreather appropriately pig-like.

 

[Chromeo]

I failed on the Christmas one, I gotta try to make something good for the Halloween one. It's a good thing farmers love pumpkins.

This is good but needs way more contrast, I couldn't see most of the details without opening the image and zooming in. Also, most of text needs to be bigger, it's hard to read as a thumbnail so it will be impossible at background tile size. I really like it but I doubt it will be picked if those things aren't fixed, which would be a shame.

Revised version based on On A Journey's feedback. Should be easier to make out the important details at the scale it would be seen at. Some of the text is a touch cramped, but it's legible if nothing else.

Apparently I forgot the eye glow in the last one as well. Go figure.

 

[We Are The Witches]

Did this a while back for the DSP board, figured it's appropriate for this event/time.
Sadly, the ratio is not the preferred one (vertically), but has the other that may be accepted (1.5 : 1).
