I am not sure who won last month's yet, But congrats and good luck to this month's post.

[Rafael Rivera]

This month I decided to submit more character drawings. I am currently in school for game design. The class I am taking now is perspective, so hopefully I will get better at enviros. For now I will stick to what I am good at. My influences are Carlos Huante, Feng zu, and Ian McCain. Actually they are too numerous to list, but out of the Gnomon instuctors, these are my favorite.

[chocho]

Bravo for the winners!
I hope this time my post is not going to disappear. Halloween is comming... strange things happens...

This is the same piece i submited for the september contest, but as that was a work in progress, i thought i take my chances now with the final piece, since it is right at home in the halloween contest.

Congtrats to last month winners. Fantastic artwork!

[Jason Embury]

After seeing such great work in last month's thread, I'm making the time to whip up a couple entries for this month's themed contest. First one is an image of Dracula's Castle, the second one is an image of the Pumpkin King :D these were both done in Photoshop.

The joy of candy.:) Been many years since I've been Trick or Treating.:) Nonetheless, memories, memories.:)
Thanks to Alex and everyone at Gnomon for this October opportunity.:)


http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/ismailw/wolf-DONE-signed.jpg

I can recall one year when I was Trick or Treating, my older Brother always had my back...even though payment was "I''ll make sure no one takes your candy as long as you give me half of all the chocolate bars you get in your pillowcase for tonight."
In retrospect, I shouldn't have agreed to that deal.:P No one's candy got stolen that night...hmmm maybe it's cause every little sibling struck a deal with their big Sister or big Brother that night aswell...oddly enough, there sure were a lot of big kids out without costumes right behind the little ones with costumes.

And lastly, what would Halloween night be without a round of some gaming?:)

Here is another piece for the contest.

[scott marshall]

here is a picture i made, using the concept of realistic zombie creature the picture was of a guy on the internet!

[slyer]

Hey everybody !!
Here is my first post on this forum ... use photoshop ... C&C welcome and good luck for the contest !!!

http://www.sly-art.com/DIVERS/halloween.jpg

[maz]

well... that is my bet, I think in a long siege could happen lots of funny things , goblins could go here and there screaming "trick or... death" and orcs may misunderstood the concept "pumpkin- with -candle-inside" , they do not use candles , they use large fires ... dont blame them , still are learning about it .
the second one is a tipical racoon city wellcome comitee member, that?s why I prefer bahamas to spend my hollidays.

hope you like/dislike it
Maz
pd: a bit dumb on myself , but...how do you post the images to be directly seen? benn trying with imageshack but does not work

[ErikH]

Here's my submission for the Halloween contest. My grandmother always said us kids made enough noise to wake the dead.

[andreasrocha]

I started this before the October theme went out...but lucky me. I think it fits the theme nicely. Painter and Photoshop...

Congratus for the September winners...great stuff.

[schumak]

When I heard the theme was halloween, I got this monster image in my mind right away and so I have stuck with it. Drew it yesterday and it took me around six hours. I really hope to digital paint it someday but I'm no good yet. This is my first contest so good luck to everyone. Cheers!

[J6Studios]

I wasn't sure if I'd get this one done in time, but I just finished it.

I took some progress shots and included them. It's a 12"x18" piece of cardboard drawn with bic pen and brown/white pencil. I added the super bright highlights with a white paint pen.

Man...I kept trying and trying to post, but it wouldn't let me. Now, after Halloween I can...bah! Oh well here's my entry, probably too late though.

http://dougbot.com/forum/halloweenGnomon.jpg

[Pissed off]

I think it's getting a little late for October entries.

[dougbot]

I think it's getting a little late for October entries.
I agree. Mine probably won't make it in. I had it done last week, but the site wouldn't let me post. I wrote admins and everything, but got no responses, then my friend called today and said it was working (he had been having the same problem for a couple of weeks). I just figured I had it done so I'd post it.

[Dyonge]

hey I can finally post. Well even though the contest is closed by now....Here is my image anyways. Awesome entries everyone.
Thanx.

Hiya... yeah, there was a snag with the forum that I just found out about... So I'll accept submissions made until this Friday. :)

-Alex

[garyhanna]

Very nice!

I guess I would be "Pissed Off" too if I couldn't post as nice an illustration as you have.

Good luck!

[Flipmcgee]

Oh geez....Dougbot! You're like Gnomon DVD instructor caliber! What do you need dvds for? You should hire him Alex ! :D

Cool lookin' piece as usual.

[87walruses]

Doing design is a lot of fun, especially doing this brand new Halloween 4 u. Hi.. I'm Rianchen. 1st, I'm doing dis wif my idea which is don't wanna make children feel afraid when viewing dis artwork. So, I create an interesting & mystery halloween entrance to attract children to go inside...
