Well, it was a really tough decision, but I have finally chosen the winners of the "Interpret This" contest!! So, without further a do, here are the winners:

In third place:


Marionettes' Freedom by *gryphons-aerie

In second place:


reach fo the rain by ~BellalleB

In first place:


Interpret This by ~Bobbie-the-Jean

To those of you who didn't make the cut, it's not for lack of great work... There could only be three winners though. Personally, I think ALL of the submissions were just awesome! If you haven't seen them already, check them out below. I will be sending out notes, probably tomorrow, regarding the distribution of the prizes. Congratulations to all the winners, and to everyone who participated, keep up the great work and you may just be the next winner!

On to this months stock piece for the contest! I have actually chosen a stock pack for you all to work with. It is courtesy of *closemyeyes-stock, who has LOTS of excellent stock. It was hard to choose between all the great options she provides, but I have. The rules and prizes will be the same as the previous contest. (I can not vouch for any of the other prize donators, but all the prizes offered by *The100DProject and myself (=Lone-Wolf-No-More) will be the same.) If you aren't familiar with the contest, read on below. Here is the stock pack that was chosen:


Mask Stock Pack 1 by *closemyeyes-stock


Basically, we choose one stock piece (person, background, thing) from within the wonderful stock artists we have involved in 100D each month and see what everyone can do with it in YOUR form of art. We might get some cartoons, some paintings, some fractals, poems/stories, etc. All artistic mediums are welcome, and this contest is open to anyone at all! Get creative, and show us what you can do! Just be sure that, at the very least, you include in the description how it is interpreted into your art (if it isn't obvious).

I also ask that you abide by the stock artist's rules of usage for their work. To make things a bit easier, I will list the terms for *closemyeyes-stock, from whom this months piece was chosen.

"1) NOTE ME (*closemyeyes-stock) if you use my stuff, a link on my front page is likely to be overlooked

2) keep my pics within DA please, i think thats fair enough. however, if you do want to use my stock elsewhere, ask and i will consider it

3) no making my pics dirty etc, they are supposed to be used to create meaningfulness, not porn. I don;t mind nudity providing it is done in a classy way, but I personally will not be posting nudes. I also dont appreciate people who have spent two mintues blurring me a bit, try to put some effort in

4) please put my avatar and the link to the stock you used in the description of your manip if you use it so i can spread my stock around more. thank you.

5) my stock IS AVAILABLE FOR PRINTS, you no longer have to ask for permission, all deviants may use my stock in prints, just note me so I can wishlist or buy it!

6) oh yea, dont rip any stuff off or claim you are me, it has happened on Flickr and the image was removed within a day as I can prove that all photos are mine, i know how abused stock artitsts are on DA.
