What are YOU going to be?


It's too late this year, but I had brilliant idea for something I want to do NEXT year for Halloween for you guys. So now I just have to sit on it for a little longer...

Halloween is my favorite holiday. Even though it's no longer as popular or widely celebrated as it was when I was a kid, it still hasn't lost it's shine for me. I love the background to it, the old myths and legends that surround it. The festivals, the stories. I love the commercialized side of it too: haunted houses, plastic pumpkins, synthetic spider webs. There's something about walking into the Halloween aisle at my local Target and looking at all the witches hats and fake rubber hands and gravestones that makes me into a kid again.

So, for the month of October, I think I'll feature my favorite spooky pictures, and costumes from around dA.

This is all just great! You're extremely creative, you know. Your compositions are really something.

You have the praise of a (very) amateur artist.

I was wondering if I could use your picture "A Sharpened Heart" as a reference for a costume I'm designing. It won't be produced, as the course is only a design class, but I can't get your image out of my mind. I wanted to make sure it was alright with you before I used it, however. If you could let me know asap, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
