Greetings Castle Dwellers...

In many parts of the world, Winter is Coming (where have I heard that before? ;p) so it seems fitting to create with the "cold" in mind. For this game, I want to revisit a challenge wherein the EYE is the canvas so to speak. Taking a look at DA's gallery of "eye art" there is plenty of inspiration. We're adding to that concept the use of COLD as YOU define it.

Here are the details:


:bulletred: Your work MUST feature as the MAIN focus an eye. As part of the challenge the use of elements and colors will define atmosphere or sense of "cold." This can be interpreted in many ways-a cold hearted person within an eye, icicles in an eye, etc.
:bulletred: Think outside of the box, there are MANY ways to interpret this challenge. Go for it! Work a clever concept for us.
:bulletred: Artwork must be a new image and only two submissions per challenge
:bulletred: Media photomanipulations and digital mixed media.
:bulletred: Challenge ends on January 7th 2018 at midnight PST (the clock on the home page never seems to work to show that it's not noon ;p)
:bulletred: You MUST include our group icon and the challenge theme in your description. If these are not included we MAY accept the piece but it will not be considered for prizes.
:bulletred: Proper credit to your stock providers must be given. If the stock is your own, please comment in the artist description that personal stock has been used to avoid confusion.

hey, I have a question
why not include traditional and digital art
as stock can be used for references (which is way better than people actually stealing pictures from google or pinterest, and would encourage them to dig through the stock gallery more often!)
