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 http://www.deviantart.com - 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, http://www.halfliquid.deviantart.com - 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

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!

Thought I'd throw in my WIP of Nosferatu to get the ball rolling on all you silent readers...

Niiiice blink.  I'm working on a "Peanuts" masacre scene.

I don't see anything on DA. What gives? 

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.

Don't worry... my "Peanuts" scene has enough blood and brains to go around.

Thanxs 1ucas... it's not much really (I cheated with the animation on Animation Shop... didn't think it'd be used really)

There is now a write up and official section up at deviantART

Excellent! My plan is coming to fruition. [evil laugh]

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 - 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.

Boobies!! [/Chris Griffin laugh]

[lois griffin voice] CHRIS that's a horrible word to say!.....boobies.....

my ode to fritz lang

fater versions

ok so its not really a  horror movie but I had to do this I wont be against it not being admitted.

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

Carp/Pie:  IMO as long as there's some scary element to it. Metropolis and Shaun of the Dead definitely have some spooky parts.

Tim Burton movies that I will allow:

Corpse Bride
Nightmare Before Xmas
Beetlejuice
Sleepy Hollow

god that IS a scary movie... but no

teehee 

sorry, bad dave

 What's even scarier is I think I watched the whole movie when my friends rented it. The only good thing was: they paid!

thankfully I have not seen it

sorry guys... We're waiting on being able to get all the judges together to discuss the winners before announce anything. Totally sorry for the delay. Those dA guys just can't seem to get online at the same time... being in different timezones than sedge and myself.

In the meantime, I'd like to give a big round of applause  to all you guys n gals that entered. some awesome pieces were submitted for our first ever halloween contest. Hopefully we'll have some more of these in the future.
