December 2008 Christmas Photomanipulation contest!

I have some exciting news......I am going to hold a Christmas Contest and the winning prize will be 2 passes and 5000e !

What is a "photo manipulation"? Well simply it is taking several things from several stock resources like brushes or photos, and putting them together...I will use this as an example...it's a photomanip I did.

Contest rules:
1-Photomanipulations are the only allowed type of artwork to be submitted. Anything that is not a photomanipulation will be politely disqualified. You may enter two works and we will have a voting elimination to decide the winner. Once you have entered your total allowed two works, you cannot change your mind or switch them out, so be certain you submit only your best effort!

2-artwork must be yours (in other words do not steal another persons work and claim it as your own) and no entry will be accepted unless it has credits to stock resources on the image and/or is watermarked for your own protection.

3-Christmas/Winter/New Years is the theme!

Great horse stock resources can be found on DeviantArt.Com by these people (you don't have to use their stock, these are just some of my favorite resources to use)

and there is sooo much more...just enter horse stock in the search bar and remember to read each artist's stock rules and follow them accordingly.

I am going to enter for sure! Can you enter twice?




Here is mine anyways... I made this on one misty morning when I didn´t went to school but I couldn`t sleep as well (i had high fever) so I just sat down and made this in 7 o`clock... took me about 1 hour... I just had feeling I should do something bright and with deep meaning

This works Arya ...you've posted the credits and watermarked the image. The only loop hole might be that if someone recognizes the unknown sources and says it's so and so's photo. IF that happens then you can choose to change it k or submit a different one. How does that sound? Fair enough I hope?

Oooh I will have to submit one, thank you so much for hosting a photo manip contest for us Robbin Will get to work on one tomorrow ;)

Here's my entry:



Credtis on image. For RobbinLara ONLY.

I'll have another in by tomorrow or Thursday. :gray:

Oh and for that image above I can put text on it as you please. Pm me on here or howrse if I win for the text you'd like, color, type, etc. etc.
