'09 Halloween Art Collab! 2009-10-11 13:50:45


Horray, I'm starting an art collab, and what other theme than Halloween, the day in which ghosts, witches, skeletons and Paris Hilton lurk within the night!

The obvious idea of this collab is to have a bunch of cool guys to make halloween related pictures, so we put it all together in an .FLA, and get it submitted right in to the portal, on Saturday the 31st, so all you fellas tired of trick n' treating can now celebrate with an art collab, instead of taking their little sister dressed as a pumpkin to the neighborhood asking for candy and finding a secret cementery where two guys called Ice and Scoop will steal your Nikes and eat your candy.

And now, flashy introductions aside, the beloved technical info you've been all waiting for:

- The picture size is specifically 599px wide by 700px tall, this, because of two reasons, first, it's a nice and comfortable vertical setting for the canvas, and second, this way you don't have to resize it when posting the JPG in te forums.
- It is of great importance that you make sure you save your picture as both a JPG and a PNG, that way, you can post the JPG in the thread and gimme a link to the obligatory PNG file, which maximizes the quality of the picture. You can post the PNG in any image hosting website, like Spamtheweb or tinypic
- Of course, make sure you follow the Art Forum Rules like in every other thread, to save us both a rather uncomfortable situation
- Photomanipulation won't be added to the collab because, well, it's an art collab, bro.
- Everyone loves constructive critisism.
- Nobody likes a troll.

Yup, those are the rules, not too hard to follow, right?

Another important topic I wanna clear up:

You'll be specially taken in count if your submission is:
1. Extremely well done
2. Totally scary ass (which of course, has to do a lot with point number 1)
3. Shows a lot of effort
4. Contains genitals
5. Ignore point number 4

Now, in order to make sure the forum gods don't chew me out, here's the
thread beginning picture, which, as you can see, is a guy who has no skin at all, now, hurry up, why are you still reading this? You've got 20 days to make your piece!

It isn't quite obligatory to add genitals, it's all up to you guys.

With only one image, does it really matter which song you choose?

The GRIM collab already has close to 50 pics. Why don't you just join that?

We were just talking about how awesome Tim Burton is, nothing else, thanks for the link to the thread, I thought there was no Halloween 09 Collab , I guess I now request lock so to the guys who wanted to join, It'd be a better idea to go on the Grim collab :D

Response to '09 Halloween Art Collab! 2009-10-12 15:13:18


Double post, sorry

Wait, before this thread get locked, I want to be sure that the Grim collab is for halloween, is it?

Response to '09 Halloween Art Collab! 2009-10-12 15:23:50


lol, yes. The OP has been MIA for a while, so some of us that were involved decided to take it over. The plan is to accept pics up until the 27th ...and submit on Halloween. So... anyone that wants to be part of an art forum halloween collab should check out the grim collab! (...assuming this one gets locked.)

Grim Collab's shite, you get such a small space to work with, and to top it off, gotta put it on that dismal background.
Less creative freedom.


No mate, no.

Can't just multiply or make your own background opaque?

Who says all things halloween are grim, though? :< What if I wanna draw a happy-go-lucky pumpkin??

:P I really don't intend to, but this is a point that does count. Unless of course, the newly appointed moderators of the collab make it halloween related, instead of only grim stuff.

Well, if you look through that thread, you'll notice that not too many are actually 'grim'. But... whatever, I guess I'll just shut up and let this collab happen if that's what people want. Sorry if I derailed anything! :P

Oh shit that's neat.

And to anyone wondering, you can make your own backgrounds, or just make it transparent, you choose, the idea is to make it look like some sort of an exibition, I'll make a background unless someone wants to make one, which would be totally cooltastical and have the pictures in first plane.

Here is a lame example of how it would look like. I put the paper texture there so that it's not obligatory to make a background, so I just delete the white part around the image and paste it on the texture. Of course, I'm gonna add a next/previous image aswell as a description for you to enter (optional) and music loop selection to make the interface look nice.

Ok, that clears some doubts, so if anyone wants to ask something, post here on PM me, THE COLLAB IS STILL STANDING :D

tomorrow at, like 10 I'll post a sketch for my second submission, but now I gotta leave and don't have time to scan it

haha. Also, I'm afraid that I will request lock for this thread before I get anymore entries since, well, I really doubt we could even hit the deadline, so I suppose that I'll have to wait until next year, baaaawww
