:bulletyellow: About Us  :bulletpink: Gallery :bulletgreen: Favourites :bulletblue: Birthdays :bulletorange:


Thanks to everyone who entered October’s contest! And Happy Halloween to you all! ;D :pumpkin:

Without further ado, we’ll announce the winners~ :la:


:bulletred:In 1st Place is ~Fiona-Maria, with Think Outside The Box :bulletred:
This entry stood out from the others as we just loved the concept of it! The rainbow colours are so alluring, and the spiral really draws the eye. We loved the charming little doodles integrated within the rainbow. Overall, a unique and inspiring idea~
Their chosen theme for the next contest is Musicality.

:bulletred:The Runner Up is *CelestinaGrey, with -Thank You Isadora- :bulletred:
This is simply a beautiful piece of writing! The imagery, descriptions, and rhyme are simply enchanting. This poem tells a delightful story, demonstrating what a creative and inspirational community spirit deviantART has~

Congratulations to you both! The prize donators should contact you soon about your prizes~ :woohoo:

And also (I think she's going to start making a habit of this ;P ) =converse-kidd has another honourable mention which she'd like to feature too!

:bulletblue:Indie's Honourable mention~ ~amithystblade, with Amorous Amorelle :bulletblue:
We loved the original and creative idea of working onto cardboard, and the coloured pencils were blended well to give a nice shiny effect on the tail~ Great art for a great cause!


Now, onward to next month’s contest!

--

It’s November 1st tomorrow! So it’s already time for our fourth mini contest! :woohoo:

We have revised the prize list for these monthly contests: there are now a few more points up for grabs, and an extra prize from =converse-kidd! :eager:


:snowflake: This months theme is Musicality ! "Pisces are very artistic, and may excel at music”
For this contest you must select one of your favourite songs, any song you wish, and represent that in your deviation. We would appreciate a link to the song in the artists comments, and the section of the lyrics which inspired you the most. :snowflake:

I have a question, I know the contest is about drawing how the song made you feel, but must the piece include the club's main theme of fish in my entry?

Nope! You don't have to at all! (:
With these theme contests we decided to choose themes which allow people to create artworks other than the usual fish/water/pisces theme :nod: So, as I'm sure you have read, the themes are based off of personality traits that Pisceans are thought to have- so it is technically related to our star sign. But your entries can be anything so long as it meets the theme of being inspired by a song!

I hope that has answered your question! We look forward to seeing your entry! <3 :woohoo:

Oh, that's great! Because I made a piece based off a song, but it's doesn't have fish in it. So glad to know I can still submit it. Thank you very much! :la:

:woohoo:

We decided that the previous theme really was too open for interpretation. So now we aim to be more specific with what we ask for, and choose something within the contest theme to narrow it down a little :nod:
