Manip Challenges #004After a longer hiatus, they are back! Find below our 4th Manip Challenges!
Please don't forget to credit and notify all resource providers you use stock of - including the challenge stock!
Note to NaySayers: this is supposed to be a fun event. It's called a challenge because there are rules to observe. But it is in the nature of these rules that a lot of similar images will be created for this. While everyone likes a great idea and/or a piece that is on a high technical level, this excercise is not meant to be seen in such a light. Meaning that in a classic contest, we usually look for originality and compete with others -- here, we look for a personal moment of satisfaction, maybe helping someone break their artist's block by doing something just for the sake of doing it. Not everything always has to be a big competition. Sometimes, all you need is a nudge to do something at all. We like to provide that nudge. If you don't like looking at a lot of similar pieces, ma

Manip Challenges #003I wanted to do this last weekend, but ended up doing everything but this

But here they finally are: our third edition of the Manip Challenges!

I hope there will be as much participation as last time (though I have to admit, reaching over 30 entries in the middle of the vacation period might be a bit optimistic - I suppose you've been spoiling me so far

) In any case, it's about having a challenge and not about breaking any participation records, so let's just get it on

I can't wait to see all your gorgeous entries!

Please don't forget to credit and notify all resource providers you use stock of - including the challenge stock!
The Rules
You are given 8 stock images (see below) of which you have to use at least TWO in a way that we don't have to go hunting for them with a looking glass. You can use additional stock, but I ask you not to use premades - this is a challenge for your skills, not for someone else's. Your entry has to be a p

Okay, first off, I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment. The reason is that my latest stock submission, Herbstspaziergang IV

Herbstspaziergang IV by =kuschelirmel-stock

has apparently shot to dA's front page yesterday and got faves over 800 times since

Soooo, in honour of that (and in the hopes of many great manips/drawings/uses in general) I'm having a

Mini Contest - Herbstspaziergang

Task: Use at least ONE of the images below to create a manip or drawing.

The image must be used in a way so I don't have to go searching for it with a looking glass

All stock must be credited properly (see article about copyright here [link] ) and I dare you not to use premades or cut-outs (you can if you want to, but I do want to see YOUR skills, not those of the stock providers! Also, please read this article [link] on the subject of stock for premades especially.)

Deadline: 24.11.2012, 11:29 pm CET (German time) - find a countdown here [link]
How to enter: note me with your entry (notes are better than comments for keeping track!) and I will add it to the MiniContest Folder in my faves -- please put in the artist's comment that it's for this contest!
Judge: =kuschelirmel-stock & poll
Prizes: 500 points for my personal choice winner; 200 points for the public choice winner (poll with the finalists); 50 points for honorable mentions; exclusive stock pack from =kuschelirmel-stock for winners and honorable mentions; exclusive stock pack for each of the two winners from ^PirateLotus-Stock
plus of course a journal will be displaying all winners/honorable mentions here and from *Earlymorningdarkness

Things you should know!

The CSS Calendar Project

`ginkgografix is doing another css calender project this year

If you want to participate, head over to her journal and let her know!

I have already secured a spot, so this would be a good time to tell me if you have any special css wishes - I'm always looking for fresh ideas! Just leave a comment!

Password Protected ZIP/RAR Files

There was some news that zip files with passwords will no longer be tolerated on dA - see this announcement. While at first I was like "wtf did they do that for?!" I now do get it after reading ^Elandria's whole journal (so please do the same before complaining!). I would rather be a little inconvenienced that give idiots the opportunity to spread viruses to unsuspecting dA users. That means my own password protected packs will soon be moving and only the covers will remain. I think I will also put the individual images up as Premium Content, so people can have singles more easily, but winners still win packs (I hope that sentence made sense ^^).

CSS Did you Know Series

I stumbled over a very cool series of articles - one that tells me I should do more css so I don't get completely rusty! I'm talking about ^ladygagz's series "CSS Did You Know?", below is a selection of what he's been writing about so far:

you can find his CSS Did You Know Archive here [link]

I hope he'll be doing a lot more of these!

"New" Stock & Resources CV

Well, "new" is a bit of an exaggeration, I guess, since ^PirateLotus-Stock has had her hat for a few weeks now, but I still wanted to give her a spot in this journal, just cos she's awesome to have as CV!
