Well helloooo there my precious beauties
So now that I am finally caught up on group submissions and features, I can finally announce some fabulous group events.
First,
I would like you all to give a warm welcome to our newest addition to our Admin team, Gina aka
You may have seen her commenting on your art submissions. I dont need to tell you all to play nice and be kind, because you are all so gracious, always
If she isnt already on your watch list, go watch her. Not only are her works fabulous and creative, she is a supportive and encouraging artist, perfect for our team and and our group.
Secondly,
For those who would like some help on their manipulations, wheither your a beginner, intermediate, or advanced artist who wants to brush up on their skills, check out this journal from
tutorial club#2 Autumn fairyTHIS WEEK FEATURED TUTORIAL
Welcome to the second Tutorial Club at ManipTuts. This week, we're going to focus on this tutorial:
http://www.photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/photo-manipulation/how-to-create-an-autumn-fairy-photo-manipulation/?singlepage=1
[The tutorial is off-site, but it is free.]
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RECREATE THE SCENE FROM THE TUTORIAL,we invite you to use different ressources and mix with your own techniques.The point is for you to take what you have learned and create something new and different!
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a fantasy scene of an autumn fairy. This tutorial will show you how to create hair, makeup, and apply lighting effects in simple steps to help improve your photo manipulation skills and techniques.You will also learn how to use the pen tool,its possible to do this tutorial without a tablet. Please leave a comment below if you need help, that is why we are here!
HOW TO PLAY
First, you must be a member of ManipTuts to p
I may do it myself, as I don't do "pretty" works, or rather, they are very difficult for me to do, it may help me get out of my comfort zone of the darker works.
Even if you are already more advanced than most, it is a great tool to brush up on your skills, and hey, you may learn something new.
So if your not a member of that group, go join and meet some new artists, get some new skills, and have some fun
Thirdly,
We still need one more admin for the group. The job is basically art submissions to begin with. You all know our routine as far as art submissions go. so if your an outgoing person, wants to meet new artists, get the chance to improve your own skill, or just an avid art lover, please note me
Lastly,
Yay, a contest!!!!! lol
FINALLY !!!!!
Sorry for the delay on the contest, I had to use up all the points to renew us as a Super group. Of course with DA's new price increase, it totally depleted our funds.
SOOOOOO, I hate to ask, but here I am asking. We need more points for the contest pot.
You can go to my profile
and donate points for the contest.
I am also asking for donations on exclusive stocks and such, so please contact me directly and let me know what you can donate.
The contest details :
Mirror Portal
thats the theme.
What you need to do:
It must be a scene depicting a mirror into another world.
It can be any genre, dark, fantasy, "pretty", whatever you want.
There must be TWO worlds, one on either side of the mirror.
Yes, I know its been done before, and we tried to put our own funky little twist on things, but came up with a loss, so this is it lol.
ALL stocks must be from DeviantArt, this is to make it fair for those who cannot afford or have access to outside stock sites.
ALL stocks must be properly linked in your description, to the actual image used, NOT the stock artist's profile.
If using your own resources, you MUST notate in the description that you used your own personal stock.
You can submit up to two works
You MUST put a link or thumb to this journal and state it is for the Mirror Portal contest
Contest will run from Sept 9, 2015 - October 15, 2015
We will open a folder in the group submissions titled "Mirror Portal"
DO NOT, DO NOT DO NOT, Submit your regular art to this folder. Every single time we do a contest, we get countless submissions to that folder that is NOT for the contest.
I am not dealing with it this time. IF you submit your regular art to this contest folder, it will be denied, PERIOD............. NO Explainations, it will just be denied.
Most of us are adults here, and I dont have to keep telling you to pay attention to your submissions.
You all know that I am usually a friendly and helpful person, and if there is every anything wrong with your submissions, I tell you, but this, THIS drives me crazy.
SO DONT DO IT!!!!!
Prizes:
So far, this is what we can offer for prizes, but of course, more points donated would be very very helpful
1st Place - 500 Points
2nd Place - 350 Points
3rd Place - 150 Points
Honorable Mention
50 Points - We like to do 2, but if we do not have enough of submissions, we will award to 1
Again, I cannot stress that we need more points donated, that way we can have a reserve pile for our next contest, and thats the one that I cant wait for
I will of course, update this journal with prizes and donations as they come
