   PJ & DA present

Since All Hallows Eve is coming up soon, we have decided to hold a contest in conjunction with the folks over at deviantART.

The contest is pretty straight forward. Create an scene from or inspired from your favourite Halloween/horror themed movie in the template provided. 

To participate, rules are as follows

create a complete scene from or inspired from a horror movie of your choice. Think of the template as a movie still that will be connected to other entries. 
pixel art only! If you are clueless to what pixel art is, you probably should not participate. 
animations are okay 
no more than 32 colours 
multiple submissions are allowed 
anyone submitting must have an account at deviantART and post their entry there as well (if you don't have one, sign up now!). Make sure your PJ account has reference to your dA account so we know who to award the prize to. 
contest ends on October 29th and the winners will be announced on October 31st (Halloween!) 
do NOT contact me to tell me you've submitted an entry. All entries will be seen in the pixeljoint galleries in the proper category when approved. 
Remember, it's QUALITY not quantity. Not all pieces are approved at pixeljoint. Take part in the forums to help build your entry up to win!
Prizes will come along shortly once I get the word from my dA homey, halfliquid. Rest assured though, there WILL be prizes from deviantART.
Good luck to everyone! 
rules are subject to change during the course of this contest

Famous Movie Monsters:

Dracula

The Mummy

Frankenstein's Monster

Mr. Hyde

The Creature from the Black Lagoon

werewolf/The Wolfman

	Hi, will there be a special category at deviantArt or should everyone post their result within their own da gallery? Will less than 32 colors help a scene to get a higher rating? oh yes, nice idea folks.

	There will be a Contests category made up soon at dA. You may post it now if you choose to do so but it's a good idea to change categories after it is made. Remember to post it in your gallery here as well! Lesser colours might change the outcome of our decisions. I am sometimes amazed as to what peeps can do with minimal colours. Good luck!

	Thanks guys :) So-lou: wish you'd reconsider still and do up a Chucky scene for this! Sedge: Halfliquid put it up in his journal for now. He is talking to blackice to get it up in the contests section and organizing prizes... .I've suggested a print of the contest submissions altogether as one of them.

	Wow! I've little to add to the competition concept, and I'm not sure if I'll have the time to enter either, but that WIP is probably your best work I've seen PB! I'm impressed, as I already regard you as one of PJ's best iso pixellers! Looking forward to it's completion.

	So-lou: Sweet work. I especially like how smooth youve gotten the skin without resorted to dithering. One thing that popped out at me the first time I saw this was the woman's right breast (her right). Regardless of the tattoo, it looks looks rather odd. As if youve shaded it as an entire breast, rather than making it flow smoothly into the clothling. I circled the area in question: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/istvan/breast.png Overall it now seems as if it is far smaller than it's counterpart. I think the only answer is to make it less rounded, as to suggest that it flows into the dress more appropriately. Get me? Its hard to pick between them. I think I like the second one slightly more, the blueish tone really suits it. But the first one makes it look a little darker, perhaps fitting with the horror theme more. Haa, I was about to post this in the gallery until I thought to look if you'd posted it here.

	I love you guys. XD Question: would pixeling dr. jekyll as depicted in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen count or not? I was working on Mina, but I think the angle of her face is too adventurous for this contest and will continue the wip in the wips section, but pixel jekyll for the contest. Yes indeedy.

	Yeah, I'd much rather see the original as it was more of a horror movie than LXG. Also, the monster part was Mr. Hyde... not Dr. Jekyll

	You know, I'm thinking about entering too... Shaun of the Dead would be considered a horror movie too, right? Heh, I'm just crazy about that movie... yesterday I watched it for the second time.

iSTVAN Commander Joined: 03 March 2005 Online Status: Offline Posts: 626	Posted: 12 October 2005 at 7:22am
	I don't see why Shaun of the Dead shouldnt be considered. After all, it is a 'Romantic Comedy with Zombies.' Twice? Haha, I've seen it over half a dozen. If you choose a particularly scary scene than you should be fine, especially because most (if not all) zombie movies I've seen have included their own brand of twisted humour whether in large doses or not! ... ... But check with PB to be sure Edited by iSTVAN

I thought as much, which is fine and dandy. ^_^ And yeah, i know Mr. hyde is the monster, but I was going to do both when I thought about it---yeah, if I do I'll go for the oringinal..or think about something else entirely..of which I thought about first and was sidetracked. great entries so far.
