Just brought to my attention... :iconfrightclub: is having a Dark Christmas event... read more about it here frightclub.deviantart.com/blog…




One more thing...what do you guys think of having a contest here? something small?? just a 3 week holiday thing, Gory Christmas? Scary Sentiments? Holiday Horrors? i dunno, just seems like it might be something fun to do given the holiday season and all that. Let me know what you think!
Okay kids, its the final weekend of Halloween. and there are SOOO many things going on here on dA that its really hard to keep up with it all.

One thing i'm goin to spotlight (and yeah, probably because i'm an admin over there too) is the :iconda-morgue: screamtober feast. its coming to a close and there are so many FUN things going on over there.

little contests that are for ANYONE to enter..like..the scavenger hunt. are you good at scavenger hunts?

i just wanna see someone win this. :lol:
I think you all should head over and check it out..along with all the other festivities that are going on with them. Seriously, i spent a few hours on it earlier today, and i found ALMOST all of them. almost. and i'm scratching my head over the ones i've not found yet.
But i do have to bring to light something that came to my attention last night. Someone on dA is an art thief. okay, so how often have you heard those words? too many times.

Reasons why so many stockers are becoming "exclusive" and charging an arm and a leg for their stock. I'm appalled. I've even started helping try to find all the stock that she's claiming as her own on her manipulations. which she's been classifying as "photography"

:iconjustalittleknotty2: brought this out in her journal...i told her i'd help pass it along. It is our responsibility as stock suppliers to help protect other stock suppliers out there. So please, read up on this journal and see for yourself...perhaps you know someone who's stock is being used in this evil deviants "art". She's been warned...yet, still refuses to credit anyone. I know she's claiming all of the stock as her own. justalittleknotty2.deviantart.…

Anyway...Just wanted to give you all heads up. Show support and help out if you can. Or, least of all, go check out this person and see their work for yourself. :iconegiupponi: See if you can make her understand that it isn't just us being "rude", more just saying she's not following the rules. on more than one deviation she's given all the stock credits to herself. yet......seems she's forgetting only NASA can take images of outerspace. and she's busted there. 3 of her deviations have already been removed, as :iconlady-timeless: has reported and had proof to get things removed. i mean, this deviant stooped low enough to use a playboy magazine spread and claim it as her own, and chop her face onto the body. i'm shocked. seriously.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD??

**** UPDATE *****

well i tried to be nice. told her she needed to change the catagories of her 'art' from photography to manipulations. at least get that part right. i reported some of her stuff. guess what? she comes back and sends me a note in reply to my comment on her work...

"I want you to stop posting on my profile, you are not welcome to do it so. Your anger should not be related with my artwork, nor you should assume anything and post it, without send me a note and to request information, I would reply from there. Be polite, and if you don't know me, be double-polite then. I like people with professional attitude, being unethical it just gonna make you sound vulgar, and I have ZERO tolerance with rudeness."

all this for saying "this isn't photography. might wanna change that"
on this egiupponi.deviantart.com/art/S…
i get that she "misclassified" stuff. but to this extent? on all of her work? nah. i don't buy it. and now..i'm "deviously denied" from replying to this waste of space.

if i was able to, i would have responded. i made a screen shot of what i had typed out to say. unfortunately, that person blocked me. :lol: :evileyes: :lol: dear lord. some people never cease to amaze me.
Hey there! I'm Jade...Just taken in as a co-founder here to this lovely resource group, and i'm hoping to bring a bit more action to the table. This group has some AMAZING resources supplied by some great deviants and i think they all deserve more recognition. Not to mention, tis the season for bloody gory type stuffs. :D  I also hope to start advertising some great contests out there that will not only get you some great prizes, but again, put to use some of the awesome resources here.

Another thing i would like to see happen is perhaps some artist features. Showcase a few of the artists that have used the stock for amazing art work across dA. Perhaps even get some interviews going with some of our fellow artists across dA entirely. One day soon, perhaps we'll upgrade this group to a supergroup and get more recognition for things that can't be found ANYWHERE else. We definitely have an amazing group here with things that are essential to the dark manipulations and art work across the globe.

SO...i guess, first off, just to get things started, there is a few contests i'm going to feature today just to get the ball rolling. Hopefully at least once every 2 weeks i can update this to keep you all in the know. ;)

Its so hard to feature all the great things...Hope you all can find some things to inspire you through this amazing holiday. If i can help out in anyway, please feel free to ask, and i'll do my best to help.

**ALSO...remember, this is a stock and resource group. if you want to have your things added to our gallery, then please, by all means, submit it as stock or resources when you upload it to dA so that we can accept it. In the very near future, i'm hoping to make a gallery folder to showcase some of the works done using the various resources from this group.**
So, :iconhorrorchannel: is holding an ART JAM! :party:

here is what they say int heir journal:

Twilight. We all know of it. Almost all of us hate it (I say almost cuz some of us don't give a rats ass to begin with). We sit here in our Horror world filled with sticky gore and odors of decay so thick you can taste it and here comes a random girl named Bella and her fascination for vampires and werewolves. Now as I said, we all are just sick of The Twilight craze. Be it caused by poor story telling, poor character development, crappy renditions of horror classics and the biggest one of all.... the Fan-tards!!!!! Idiots that don't even know what a real vampire is! Idiots that don't even know what a changeling is let alone the how they are different from true werewolves!

Me, personally, I'm tired of Twilight for a different reason. I constantly hear that 'Edward isn't a real vampire'. 'Real vampires don't don't sparkle!'. 'That's not a werewolf, that's a changeling!'. 'Werewolves can only transform during a full moon! and so on. what I don't see is artists... fix these oversights. So that's the theme of The Horror Channel's Art Jam!

"True Horror of Twilight!"

We want you freaks to submit art work based any of Twilight books and movies but, either have them interact with real Vampires/Werewolves or replace those limp-ass, lame-ass, fake monsters and put in the real deal! Have the well known scene of Edward revealing his secret in the meadow(?) by letting the sun shine on him and he starts sparkling but put a real vampire there and have him burst into flames! Or have that changeling Jacob run into a real werewolf during a full moon and show us what happens! Just so long as you submit REAL VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES screwing with the happy-go-sparkle world of Twilight!!!!!

The Deadline for this will be Saturday June 5th 11:59pm pacific time.

...
so, go there and have some fun!
