Theme
Our May contest will be based on the epic literature of Dante's Inferno. Those of you who are familiar with Dante's work will certainly understand the writings, meanings and the many interpretations of his work. For those who are unfamiliar with Dante and would still like to participate, there are numerous websites dedicated to his works. Here are a few links to help you, be mindful though, Dante's works are a hard read, even for those familiar with his works, it may be a good time to get a refresher course. www.danteinferno.info/index.ht… www.sparknotes.com/poetry/infe… www.worldofdante.org/
There will be a choice of 3 themes to choose from. You may pick any theme to your liking.
Beatrice - Specifically, the relationship between Beatrice and Dante. As we do not know all that much about her, we do know that Dante respected and revered her above all others, going so far as to put her up on a pedestal. Re-acquaint yourselves with their relationship, and you will need to portray that for the contest. It can be Beatrice as Dante's rock, or the woman behind the man, or even his one and only love. The requirement for this theme is that it must include both a representation of Beatrice and of Dante.
Virgil - Dante's light, his guide, his mentor, the one who led him through the darkest circles of Hell, the one Dante held above all others in life. You will need to create a work that represents that. Again, you will have specific requirements, so do not start your work just yet. Your requirement for this is that there has to be a clear representation of Virgil, albeit a light, a guide, a person, a spirit, whatever you choose, but the primary focus must be as Virgil being a guide of some sort.
Circles in Hell - As Nick would say, the fun one. In this theme, you may choose any circle you wish, but, the requirement will be that you must portray a scene, directly as it is described. There will be no deviation from the scene in the book, no interpretation, the actual scene. Those of you who have read Dante's Inferno certainly know there are alot of gruesome scenes, but also alot of non violent ones either.
We tried to offer themes that would appeal to our many different members of varied styles and personal likes.

Judges
We would like a few extra judges, to make the contest fair to everyone. The administration team will be voting, but we also need other judges who are not participating in the contest at all. Photographers, stock artists, artists with busy schedules who cannot submit to this contest due to conflicting schedules, all would be perfect. As of right now, we need one more judge. Please note either or for consideration an which level you are interested in judging.
We have also added and as special judges!

Hello my Lovies :heart:
Oh how I missed you all.
I know its been like a really long freaking time, but I had a really bad 2017.
Things have not really improved much for me, but I wanted you all to know that I was still alive.
I will be commenting on art and responding to comments, but since its been since April, its going to take me a while to get through it all.
I hope all of you had a great holiday season, and I wish you all peace and prosperity for this new year :heart:
Please be patient with me, I have alot of catching up to do :heart:

Thank you soooo much to the anonymous deviant who gave me a core membership ~rbheartplz (https://www.deviantart.com/rbheartplz) it was a real surprise and I thank you soooo much for it :iconmonkeyloveplz:
Those who know me well, know that December is a rough month for me, which is why I am usually not online much, just accepting group submissions and such. I want to apologize for leaving all my lovies for the month. I promise to start getting caught up on all your beautiful artworks, but the stupid spam da thingy makes it difficult to do.
Anyway, I wanted to wish you all a Safe and Happy Holiday Season! :iconrbheaertplz:
