THEME we gotta have one. It's like the law. This time round guys is NEW BEGINNINGS. That's it. You can do anything with this theme in mind, in any visual medium. This contest is running over the new year, new year new start and all, so hey, NEW BEGINNINGS! (Yes, yes I know. Providing the world doesn't end soon.

A Burst of Color (Photomanip Contest)A photo manip contest

Starts October 20, 2012
Ends January 20, 2013 (tentative)
Sometimes the world is "drab and gray," but it's that one spark of color that brings life back to it.
This contest aims to do just that. Create a scene that, for the most part, lacks life essence, but has one part that has that flare.
Example:

1 entry per deviant

The entry must be a new piece (submitted after 10-20)

All stock must be valid and directly linked (no search engines or art used without permission) - if you use your own, please state so

Innocence of an angel - Group Contest
Contest Theme - ἄγγελος
Create an very innocent angel. It can be a child, female or male angel, but it have to be a innocent one. Try to imagine what angels are. Here is a little help:
An angel is a supernatural being or spirit found in various religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions they are often depicted as servants of God and celestial beings who act as intermediaries between heaven and Earth.[1] In Zoroastrianism and Native American religions angels are depicted as a guiding influence or a guardian spirit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel
Some examples from my group :iconHaven-of-Angels:

Rules
It have to be a new work, submit to my group :iconHaven-of-Angels: not earlier than 19.Nov
It can be any medium, you like.
If your work is a photomanipulation/mix
