this rocks! brilliant eye-candy! the way you used the pics is reallay different from the other contributions! they are more or less all the same...

i love the slug, brilliant :D

thanks a lot, that was my intention!

damn...I guess that´s what you call quality...
excellent work on the details,man...this must have taken u quite a long time...

good luck,skilled one :)

thank you very much, i took me indeed ages but eventually it was worth it, i'm quiet confident with it.

now this is a remarkable one! that one really caught my eye! the details are countless...love it...

peace

skilled one

One of the best works i've seen in the past! Man u're damn god!

thanks both of of you!

No trace of source images

Very interesting piece
I really like the burning eyes and the interaction between the single
spooky parts.
the flames and the wads of smoke are very amazing!
Great work
Peaze

first of all i like to hear you can't see "traces of recource images" - at least at first glimpse. but regard it a little more intensive and you will see that almost the entire piece is made from the given stock with the two people holding two pumpkins. i used both of the pumpkins (big one, small one where you can even see the holding hand), i used both mouths, eyes of him and her, his ear (slug), a tombstone from the cementary picture, all the ghosts are made from the stock with all the people on it, i used of course the flames.

i painted a lot over several parts, to correct lightning or quality, to make them fit and to give them a new look. i think i did exactly what this contest is about.

the only thing I added - which is far less than many other contributers - is the smoke that is provided by the resurgere crew from deviantart.com (free for noncommercial use and legitimated by the contest rules)

all the rest (drops, spiderwebs, curls etc.) are handpainted!

so have a better look on it and see that the whole piece consits of the given source images!

anyway, thanks for your comment ;)

Love it! Very nice work indeed.

Very creative! I especially like the slug.

thanks guys!

Creative, well thought out, and beautifully done.

so this whole thing is called "DESIGN contest"? to be honest this is the only picture in the entire round that actually FEATURES design elements...look at theese curlicues and ghosts!

very well done!
