"Magic, Madness & Mayham"Deadline: November 1st
Magic, Madness & Mayhem"The wheel has turned,
with a chill in the air
There's Madness & Mayhem Everywhere!
Within or without, what do you see
Is it a dream or your sadistic fantasy"
Magic, Madness & Mayhem
This is a full blown contest
Beginning~ Immediately Ending~ November 1st
As my Grandma use to say...
" Ya dont get somethin' for nothin' "
The habitual casting of the dark arts tends to make some
not so subtle changes to the user.
These changes occur both within and without.
Your Challenge...
Dig deep down within and embrace your flip side... just for a little while...
let the madness, rage and sorrow take over your pen (or mouse).
Bring forth all those negative thoughts & emotions.
Place them on your digital canvas & let the magic happen!
Deadline date: Thursday, November 1st @ 6:00pm

"The Gift"Deadline: October 15th
The Contest, The "Gift", REMINDER!We're currently having a contest, "The Gift", and what's special about this contest is that we're creating a poster. There are two categories, one for our fans of the Dark and those who like Horror very much.
"The Gift" implies that one person is giving the other a "gift". The gift can be something dark and gruesome, or horrific and macabre. It's your choice.
Since we are making MOVIE STYLE POSTERS, we want to keep it realistic. To find all of the details, click HERE
Here's an example:
Today I'm sharing some posters that I found while surfing dA. Hopefully these will help you come up with an idea for your own poster.
Enjoy!

"The Art of Blending"Deadline: October 18th
Challenge: The Art of Blending **Updated Links**Hi there 
It's time for our monthly challenge! Congratulations again to :iconsatorirose:, the winner of our August challenge on lighting!
The topic for this month's challenge is blending. We're a bit behind on posting this challenge because I was trying to find someone more experienced than myself to write about it for you all. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do so, I guess you're stuck with me 
Want to show your appreciation for our group? Help by contributing towards our SuperGroup renewal!
The Art of Blending
What exactly do we mean by "blending"? Well, the most basic answer to this question is that blending is when you combine two or more photos into a new work and tinker with various settings/techniques to create one cohesive, flowing image. As always, this is easier said than done.

A Contest For Halloween!NEWS
Here we are at the beginning of our final contest of the year! I hope you like the way I've set up the contest, and I think I've chosen some really good stock for you to choose from.
IMPORTANT!! I will not be adding any new members this month to keep this contest strictly for our current members. So PLEASE do not post about this contest in your journals or at other groups. Membership request will be turned off.
I know that some of you, for one reason or another will not participate in this contest. This contest will be a little on the "dark" side, so if you want to take a break for this one, understandable..
However, there will be a challenge here and other challenges/contests for PhotoManipulatio Month that run simultaneously with our Halloween contest, and you may want to get involved in those. So keep checking back for information on those extra ways to particip
New Rule!
When Using Premade Backgrounds The artist of the premade must ALSO have credited all stock
they used in the creation of the premade and the stock must be
valid for us to accept any artwork that use a premade!
