Februarys Contest ~ Welcome To Hell

---

February is the month of love but this year, Cupids become a bit deranged and there are hooks and chains flying everywhere. Not even the Gods are beyond the reach of Hell and for this contest, you are being driven off the deep end. What we expect from you are images where you take the Hellraiser theme and apply it however you wish. Maybe it's the original Cenobites? Maybe you can create your own? Or maybe you have some fun transforming your loved ones and fantasy figures into Cenobites? If you are or have a Cenobite fan, then maybe, MAYBE, it's you who are demons to some, angels to others. Or maybe you think it would be fun to turn a faerie into a Cenobite... it's really up to you as they can be man or beast.


I am also Adding a second theme has well for the memory of Theschell if you choose this theme please use any of his free items here

***RULES***

Contests will now be judged within the first seven days.

1) Winners will provide a list including each sponsor in order that they would like to have the prizes. We will then choose what prizes you win on a first-come, first-serve basis. You have an entire month from the time that the contest is posted to get us this list and if you do not include the actual prizes you want, you will have one week from the time you are contacted to get these to us. If we do not receive your list one week after you've been alerted of what you have won telling us what you want (in case that was not provided on the list), this is fine. What matters is we have your list telling us the sponsors from first to last.
By the end of the given month "during the contest" if we have not received said list, items will be chosen for you.

2) Unless otherwise specified, make sure to add an alternate prize selection should you want a bundle or partnered item. Some of our sponsors allow this, some do not and some may on certain items of which we have no way of knowing. You may provide a list to us at any time during the month. Providing the list does not guarantee a prize. Items given to runners-up, if any, will come from these lists or be donated by prize winners.

3) Our Responsibility is to contact you and the sponsors. If you have not received your prize, remember that sponsors respond when they can and we will do follow-ups if you keep in touch with us. If we do not hear from you within a month after you are alerted, we will consider you have received your prize but we will extend this from the moment of your previous communication. Like participants and management, sponsors can be slow to respond and we beg your patience on these matters as we will do the follow-ups as promised.

4) Our First Place winner will receive the first item on their list which will be removed from all other winner's lists. Our Second Place winner will be given the first item remaining on their list and so forth. When each winner has been awarded a prize, we will begin again with the First Place winner until all prizes are awarded.

5) Please remember that some prizes are gift card items while others may be coupons.
Also, remember to include the following information ~

A) Username (for DSA and sponsors site)
B. Email Address
C) Real Name & Physical Mailing Address (for software and physical prizes)

6) No AI-generated art. This must be your art and not Artificial Intelligence generated art using images data mined from the internet. You are welcome to share this art in the forums and we might one day add a gallery for this. But we will not allow it in the contests. As long as AI-generated images are created from other artist's work data mined from the internet, we cannot allow it in our contests and any such art will be removed. While AI may not be subject to copyrights, it may be determined that the end user is so make sure the art is your own work.

7) Your images must follow the theme to the best of your ability but how you do this is up to your individual creativity and imagination. Ask if you have questions about the theme.

***This month's theme is... Hellraiser***

8 ) There is a post limit of one image a day... no reworks as all images must be original for this contest. Try adding more diversity such as races and different cultures. Explore the variety that makes up who and what we are.

9) Images cannot be posted anywhere else for five days and must include links to this contest or statements that it is for this contest.

10) Images posted late will be excluded from the judging unless the closing date is extended by the site.

11) Artistic nudity is allowed. No child nudity is allowed. This is defined as genitals and nip's so cover them up or risk violating our rules. A good alternative would be anime or faeries but do not use child morphs.

12) The contest is open to any medium that you wish to use (except AI as mentioned above). This is primarily a 3d art site but hand-drawn, painted, or any other type of medium is fine as long as you created it. Make note of the prizes being offered as only rarely might they not be 3d oriented.

13) We consider it trolling if criticism about content is made when images are within the rules. Constructive criticism and praise are encouraged and welcomed.

14) Our normal monthly contests will have 5 winners. Our larger contests will have up to 31 winners. We will alert members should this change at any time or if the sponsors have alerted us to award items to runners-up.

15) Remember, if you have any questions, please ask them in the contest topic so that staff or fellow members can explain and help you to understand the rules or themes in our competition.

The movie Event Horizon has many connections to Hellraiser behind the scenes but the story seems to also link to Hellraiser in the actual finished film. The explanation is that the Event Horizon traveled into the Hellraiser dimension where the original crew destroys themselves or are destroyed by demons. When it returns, it exists on the event horizon between our universe and the Cenobite dimension... or so fans now say. What then about others who possibly arrive but are not bound by the puzzle box controlling their existence here?

What if Phantasm were centered on the Cenobites dimension or maybe, MAYBE, it's one of the many Hells mentioned in the Hellraiser written and comic book works. Sometimes the Cenobites and Leviathan find themselves in conflict and wars with these other realms. Perhaps Freddy, Chucky and even Jason Voorhees come from this dimension. Thus, what if the Tall Man were a Cenobite who just hasn't fully altered the Tall Mans body of maintains a human face to better disguise himself?

What if the slashers we are fascinated with in the horror movies are all based on the Cenobite dimension but different areas of Hell? Some are mere humans going mad who become slashers because of a mild infection of evil? But then, you have others who are more evolved being more difficult to kill until you have creatures that seem impossible to destroy because they just keep coming back because their souls are bound to these dimensions and return there when destroyed only to return because something keeps a doorway open, an artifact or some mission like wiping out their bloodline as in ancient Celtic lore.

Late delivery, but still worth having. You can grab this for this month's (February) competition. This is another exclusive product from DSA to members only. So grab it quickly before it disapears. Each model has moving parts that can be turned, pulled, and twisted. Metal shader NOT included. There are textures templates and Normal MAPs included that you can insert. I left this as a POSER product that can be loaded into any render softer for simplicity. I will provide the link below.
