Echo of Silence Presents: "Paranormal Artivity"

So folks, myself and a few friends in EoS decided to host a small art contest celebrating Halloween, SK Style!

Now for those of you who don't know, Spiral Knights tends to get a little crazy during Halloween time, so EoS wanted to put some more excitement into the SK Community.

Judges:

So far, it will be myself, but a few others from EoS will be stepping up as well. We will only have a max of three judges, only because we like to keep things as simple as possible.

Judging:

In all honesty, what the judges will be looking for is art that appeals to them! We will break down all the entries and figure out which entries we enjoy the most. If we have a lot of entries which we like, we won't be scared to throw some CE your way for creating something scary. Meaning that even if there's a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place winner, you might still get something! =0

So what will I have to create to enter into this art contest?:

Any type of Spiral Knights art which has a Halloween theme to it.

Examples:

Knights dressed up holding bags of candy from trick-or-treating with strangers
A few knights getting fat with chocolate around their mouth eating some chocolate filled jelly cubes
A knight in the clockworks who is scared to death (Yes, you e-peen kids will lol at that phrasing =0) because of so many monsters around him…

Overall, just be creative and help create some scary art work we can share with the Spiral Knights Community!!!

Rules:

1) Everyone can enter this contest, excluding judges. (This means Ian can enter this contest if he wishes to, or even Nick).
1a) To clarify, EoS members will still be allowed to participate, since we house some very talented artists. The only ones who cannot are the judges! =0
2) All art must be BRAND SPANKING NEW!!! We do not want to see you submitting old art. All art must be created after this post is up!!
3) No stealing art work! If you are caught doing this your submission will automatically be denied and any other attempts will be thrown out!
4) You can enter up to 3 entries!! (Which means you can up to 3 times!!)
5) You must follow the submission layout for us to count your entry.
6) Since we have such a small amount of categories (only one category this) we will be having multiple winners for certain prizes.
6a) This is at the judges' discretion!
7) If you argue with the judges you are silly!
7a) This is the bad kind of silly, don't be this kind of silly!
8) I wanted to make a rule 8 since I can!
69) Have Fun! =0

Contest Start Date/End Date:
Start:
When this topic is posted that means this contest started!
End:
October 31st 11:59 p.m Eastern Standard Time
Results Posted:
The results will be posted no later than November 16th, 2013.
(The time frame is a bit longer due to most of us might be busy irl. Most likely will be posted before this date ofc)

3. Tell us about the drawing: Well, it's kinda a cross over but, they're both cats, so they can dress up, right? And besides, who said it's just knights that dress up anyways. Anyhow, Nekoht is this cute kitty that dishes out quests and Spookats are awful things and also adorable too. Why not have them play dress up?

Njthug

Answers!!

@Popixd -- If you are cooking something then mashing it up into a mewkat or something or scuplting food into some sk theme that would work. As far as the plushy idea we rather you o your own plushy why not make a zombie plushy?

@Piosionus-Snarby --- Yes you can enter pictures and 3-D models =)

This is a contest hosted by myself and Digi you can see the entries we are basically looking for the same style:
