YUP YUP YUP YUP YUP

2. It may include characters or creatures, but the focus MUST be the envoroment

3. colour or black & white

4. no crap

5. no shit

6. stick to the topic

7. you may or may not include a description and or a backstory, your choice

8. digital or not, anything is accepted, the important thing is that the resolution isn't pathetic.

9. no crap and no shit

>>>>>>> THIS MONTH'S THEME : ARTIC HELL! <<<<<<<

Interpret it as you like people...

If you need any inspiration try asking yourself

"what could classify as cold hell?"
"why is there an artic hell"
"where could it be located?"
"could it be figurative, or an actual dante's inferno?"
"can penguins hold pitchforks?"

Obviously creativity is WIDELY appriciated...so surprise me!

DEADLINE IS SUNDAY, sry for posting this one day late :(

remember focus on the enviroment, mood and feel of the illustration...and dont worry you can depict figures...but please dont focus the pic on them... they must be an accessory to your masterpiece, not the masterpiece itself.

go vote on last week's entries, if you havent aldready done it

sry for the starting pic but i needed something to post... i'll work on something better next time

Okay, at first, I thought it was some play on words, like architecture hell... but then I realized you meant arCtic hell

:3

I'll try and get something accomplished. Oh wait... if I do this, does it count? It's a blizzard.

holy shit, how did you make it look so real?

its gotta be the strong use of white and no negative space

A life boat crashes in an Arctic wasteland, the survivors quickly learn something lies beneath the ice. Stranded on such a harsh world will they live through their very own version of hell? In the distance the ship burns up in the atmosphere.

High(er) quality here

It's a talent I guess. AND if you look long enough at it, you'll actually see a lost penguin in the distance. Do I win?

Well, if it doesn't have to be painted... I will try and make up for my shit entry last time.

SHIT i hate timezones, why do i allways miss all the fun stuff? :,(

Nice, the burning boat looks like a ball of fire dropping from the sky.

I think that a place so inhospitable that your flesh burns, and the air in your lungs is partially ice crystals, might be my definition of hell.

Just want to know if anyone is using the Ice Lake in the bottom of Hell in Dantes Inferno, or the Ice Narakas from the budhistic version of hell. I think im going for the Naraka idea atm, but if no one is doing Dantes Inferno i'd might consider it twice. Would be a damn shame if no did it.

Allso, much better than your last pick, Vousille ;)

On second thought, i think ill stay with the Naraka idea, regardless of Dantes

Cold Narakas
Arbuda - the "blister" Naraka. This is a dark, frozen plain surrounded by icy mountains and continually swept by blizzards. Inhabitants of this world arise fully grown and abide life-long naked and alone, while the cold raises blisters upon their bodies. The length of life in this Naraka is said to be the time it would take to empty a barrel of sesame seed if one only took out a single seed every hundred years.
Nirarbuda - the "burst blister" Naraka. This Naraka is even colder than the one above, and here the blisters burst open, leaving the beings' bodies covered with frozen blood and pus.
A%u1E6Da%u1E6Da - the Naraka of shivering. Here the beings shiver in the cold, making an a%u1E6D-a%u1E6D-a%u1E6D sound with their mouths.
Hahava - the Naraka of lamentation. Here the beings lament in the cold, going ha, ho in pain.
Huhuva - the Naraka of chattering teeth. Here the beings shiver as their teeth chatter, making the sound hu, hu.
Utpala - the "blue lotus" Naraka. Here the intense cold makes the skin turn blue like the color of an utpala waterlily.
Padma - the "lotus" Naraka. In this Naraka the blizzard cracks open the frozen skin leaving one raw and bloody.
Mah%u0101padma - the "great lotus" Naraka. Here the whole body cracks into pieces and the internal organs are exposed to the cold and they also crack.
Each lifetime in these Narakas is twenty times the length of the one before it.

:P

in the bottom of dante's inferno there wasnt a lake... supposedly there was big bad Lucifer stuck in a hole and everything WAS frozen due to the flapping of his wings.

although i dont recall any specific lake.

and i was trying to get soething out of that, but dont worry about it man do what you want to do ;D

I read the whole poem/book, its awesome :3

Bumping to get more contestants :3
