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

See this journal for examples using a different theme http://fantasymuse.deviantart.com/journal/?offset=1 or the bottom of this journal featuring some amazing Sun and Moon deviations to inspire you
There are two categories that you can enter under: Digital Art and Stock. You may enter both categories once.
Each category will have a first, second and third place, as well as 5 honourable mentions from either category. If you wish to donate anything as a prize, please let me know via comment on this journal or via note.

Seeing Red Part 2Hello my friends and watchers

In my last journal, I told you all that my family and I were getting ready to evacuate for Hurricane Issac. We ended up checking into a pet friendly hotel for a few days. We lost power our first night there! When I reserved our room, I asked if they had a back up generator..they told me they did...They LIED!!! Myself and everyone else staying at that Hotel were less than amused! Anyway, Things got a little rough down here but I am happy to report that my family and I escaped the hurricane virtually unscathed. Aside from a few pieces of siding that came off our home and being in the dark for 3 days, we were one of the lucky ones! For others, recovering will take quite some time..

With that said, I would like to move on to Part 2 of my "Seeing Red" feature...I hope you enjoy!

Seeing Red Part 2

Red is hot. From passionate love to violence and war

Thank you so much for your submissions!!
All entries have been processed, and are now featured under the correct options below.
Time for the group to vote on the entries.

The last contest had a few deviants who solicited others for votes, which is unfair to everyone else. I will NOT tolerate this behaviour.

WINNER FOR OPTION 2

Although there was a clear winner in the Public Poll, the artist failed to follow the rules, and did not include a link back to the blog, let a lone the contest it was being entered. Therefore the second place winner in the poll which was tied between [link] and [link] so as ~Tiger-tyger has placed 1st in Option 1, I have decided to allow ~UnicornSaint receive the Option2 prize.

_{Please remember in future to make sure you have followed the contest rules correctly.}
