Spring Alliance Contest!

Greetings, luminous Allies! It is my pleasure to announce the Spring Alliance Contest!

:iconlit-visual-alliance:
What is the Alliance, you ask?
The Alliance is a project group intended to encourage visual and literary artists to work together. I've felt for some time that the dA Literature Community can at times be somewhat insular - to its detriment. We in the Lit Community are also sometimes prone to griping about the lack of exposure our work receives when compared to that of visual artists. So in the spirit of ^thorns brilliant Complaint Challenge I thought I would try to do something about that. And so the Alliance was born!
Because I, your founder, have a deep and abiding love for the seasons, this group now hosts seasonal contests, and as the Winter Contest is now over, it is time for Spring.

Single Stock ChallengeHello from the admins of #TheArtOfManipulation! It's time for a new Contest and this one is going to be BIG!

How it Will Work
For this contest, we are going to make things TOUGH. We will provide you with a list of stockers that you can choose from, however you only get to choose ONE stock artist and you must use all stock from that artist. And to make things even harder, you cannot use any human models, premade backgrounds, PNG cut-outs, or brushes (except the preset ones located in your software already). Also you MUST use a minimum of 3 stock images, there is no maximum

The Rules

Must be a member of #TheArtOfManipulation in order to submit to the contest folder, make sure you read the rules and answer the 3 questions to join the group!

Your entry MUST be a PHOTOMANIPULATION. That means it involves 2 or more (in this case 3 or more

Hello~
I decide to organize the contest finally
Theme: Yayoi / Kaoru

Please read:

Art must be new and can't be my order(comm, at)

You can draw many entries (that would be lovely ^^) but only one can win (1st, 2nd or 3rd place)

It would be nice if work will have a background and be original

It can be in any form (digital, traditional ect.) (head, chibi, normal, realistic ... )

Couples are always sweet

They are couple but you can draw them in angry, fight, kill scene too

Dialectical Dessertism: The ContestIt has long been debated just how cake and pie came to be bitter enemies (and occassional allies against other desserts). Some say it started in the Middle Ages when butter was first used for both unequally awesome desserts.
While others say it was when cake became a CV and the power went to her head!
At still yet, there is the rumor that is started when pie failed his sobriety test and blamed it all on cake for keeping him out too late.
But maybe none of those are the real story. That's where YOU come in.
What's this Contest About?
It's pretty simple. You're going to answer a very simple question. What is the origin of the pie/cake debacle? How you go about doing that is completely up to you. But since you have complete creative freedom to write history, we're expecting some very interesting (to say the least) renditions.
What's Going to be Judged?

Both poetry and prose will

Emoticon TournamentAfter months of waiting and anticipation, the "Secret Contest" I had planned is here! I bring you, the Emoticon Tournament!

As some of you may remember, !DryBones44 hosted an epic tournament called the “Multi-Round Emoticon Drop Out Contest”. http://web.archive.org/web/20110815070308/http://drybones44.deviantart.com/journal/41567949/

The tournament was a blast and there were many participants! And I am going to revise it!

So, here is what’s going to happen:

Details:

After all the participants are gathered, I will use random.org to match the participants up randomly. I will then select a topic, and then you and your opponent will face off and make an emote based on the theme. You will have 1 week to make the emote, and then our judges will decide the winner of each match up.

If you win your match, you will move on to the next round, and face off another winner

OC Summer Fun in The Sun Contest! Cash Prizes!Time to get this second contest of the year started! The first one I held this year had a decent turn out, but I'm hoping even more people enter this one. What can I say, I enjoy seeing the drawings people come up with for my contests.
If you couldn't tell from the title this contest involves original characters and summer. This will be a "draw yours and my original character" type of contest in which you show the characters enjoying summer. Each entry must have at least one of my characters and one of your characters for it to be eligible. Your character can be a completely original one or an OC from a popular existing universe (pokemon, naruto, bleach, etc) as long as it is your own character. It can even be one that you make up just for this contest. Unlike my last "yours and my oc" contest you will only have two of my OCs to choose from. This is mostly cause they are the ones who I've really been focusing on. For whatever reason I've never made character sheets for eithe

The theme, if you so choose to accept, is to use *Della-Stock model stock to create a piece of art (photomanipulation, digital painting, traditional art) in the style of Art Nouveau (if you are sick of Art Nouveau, you can also choose to do something Steampunkish). It doesn't have to be exactly Mucha-esc. Be creative. Be inspired by the old and the new. Extra points will be added if you use any Smashing Pumpkins songs and lyrics for inspiration.

End Date: ~~October 27, 2008~~ (Extended till November 27th)

Accepting Traditional and Digital art and Photomanipulations

Send a note to *Della-Stock with your submission(s)

Bonus points for using stock from the judges

Bonus points for incorporating Smashing Pumpkins lyrics, to the feeling of the image or even IN the image
