"Memento Mori" Contest

The theme of my contest this autumn is "Memento Mori"* - and I hope to see some beautiful and mystical interpretations! Funereal art, danse macabre, the angel of Death, gothic graveyards, the Grim Reaper, etc. - are only a few examples of the theme. Don't forget to make your entries creative and original! This is a mini-contest, with small prizes and with me as the only judge. But of course if anyone would like to support the contest and donate an additional prize, please note me - any help is welcome.

*If you don't know what it means, please check out e.g. this article: [link]


Rules:

- The contest starts on October 21st. All entries must be submitted to DA after this date – the idea of the contest is to challenge participants to create a new piece, not to submit an old work which just happens to meet the theme!
- The deadline for submissions is December 10th.
- The following categories are allowed: 3D Art, Digital Photomanipulation, and Digital Mixed Media - that's it! No other categories accepted, sorry!
- The deviation must be new, and it must contain the following description: Entry to "Memento Mori" contest by *Asaenath
- One entry per person.
- You must credit all the stocks you used in the description of your deviation, as usual.
- Your entry must fit the theme!
- All entries must be sent to me: *Asaenath with the subject "Memento Mori".

Notes with entries which don't follow the rules will be ignored. Please make sure you have read and understood everything before sending your entry!
