In the category of "you were thinking about something like this anyway, so might as well really do it this time..." here comes the next theme for the art challenge.
"Spooky"
In honor of Halloween coming up, the challenge is something that evokes long shadows, zombie apocalypses, film noir and mystery-solving talking dogs all at once. Think up something to scare and share. Mysterious art, creepy music, altogether ooky textures... whatever's tossin' your coffin. Spirit knockin', ectoplasm, phantasms, rattlin' chains, chatterin' jaw bones, covergirl monsters, clever ghouls, Will o' the Wisp, Bloody Mary and The Creature from that Blucky Lagoon. Surprise us!
The challenge runs from Monday, October 16, to Sunday, October 29. Start collecting your evil thoughts now, but for the love of all that is holy please submit your contribution during that two week period.
You can post submissions to the regular art page but tag them Challenge and Spooky. Include other tags as appropriate too, of course. Please post about your entry in this thread to make it easier for us to see them.
Trick or treat!
Awesome! Super excited to participate, should be a fun one for sure.
Here is my submission: https://opengameart.org/content/the-9th-circle
I would love to make somehting spooky, but I truly hate direct competition like this.
You don't have to enter the contest to make something spooky. I released something rather spooky last week just as a gift to the community. <3
I guess you're right!
(Pointless side note, I can't help but think of this as a conversation between a dog and a cat, due to the avatars XD)
(Pointless Side Note: Yup, it is. XD)
Glad I could help encourage you, Kir. <3

Here's my entry into the challenge, something I found that I thought I lost long ago:

I decided to go for a slice of spooky silly rather than spooky scary. :3
Nice,
It looks very paper cut out in style....
thanks for sharing....
Kinda. Actually it was a hand-drawing I made long, long, long ago and recently discovered it after sorting through some of my old files recovered from a hard-drive crash. It's so cute and evil that I just had to enter it into the contest. <3

Hi everybody !
I did this creepy slime:

That's actually really good; a nice take on the slime. The internal organs are a nice touch.
The votes are in! Congratulations, Joth! Winning submission: https://opengameart.org/content/the-9th-circle

Grats, Joth! Well done!
Please an new challenge !! ^^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just need some art for my game ^^
Agreed. What should the theme be? Everyone suggest.
--Medicine Storm
"Hard Times"
Maybe given the time of the year, Spring or "Return of life"?
Is "Return of life" different enough from the Reborn challenge?
--Medicine Storm
Yeah!, a new challenge!. havent seen Danorder for a while, hope he is OK.
My suggestion is 'Gadgets'
:)

I was thinking more of a "Good Night" or "Sweet Dreams" theme, lullabies and sleep-themed. Maybe even mythical creatures that protect our dreams (Bakus and such).

What did you mean?
Can you describe?

Ok, we've got the following suggestions. Everyone vote on your favorite (or continue suggesting)
--Medicine Storm
I am probably going to use "Hard Times" as a theme for a contest on DeviantArt, so it might be redundant here , even though this site is really not the same as DA at all.
Well, then I'm going to start this one first and advertise it on DA to undercut you!
j/k. should I count that as a veto (negative vote) on Hard Times?
--Medicine Storm
Lol, I don't get what you're talking about at all.
I'm saying: Are you negative-voting for "Hard Times" as OGA's next art challenge theme? As in, current vote tally:
--Medicine Storm
No I'm not, I'll just refrain from casting a vote altogether.
I don't know what all that "well, then I'm going to start this one first and advertise it on DA to undercut you" is about, must be sarcasm of some sort I guess.
Yes. I was pretending to be offended by your DeviantArt contest
--Medicine Storm
Do you have a problem with DeviantArt?
No. Just a pretend problem.
--Medicine Storm
Yeah, that fell really flat tbh. ._.
Not to change the subject much, but speaking of Deviant Art, is the Official OGA group on DA still a thing? I requested access to add my art but nothing ever came of it.
Back on subject, I will refrain from voting only because I added my own ideas and I don't think it would be fair to vote because of it, unless ya'll are cool with it. <3
(Edited this post to correct a sentence that didn't make sense. I was half-asleep at the time of writing it, sorry.)
@Pixel Wings, with "Hard Times", I mean something depicting a difficult and prolonged struggle.
@Cougarmint: Do you have a link to the OGA DA page? I'll see if I can find out who has access to it.
--Medicine Storm
I would like something like "Lost in Time"
something that incorporates things from many era's in human history. weather it be styles, objects or things that we haven't invented yet.
@MedicineStorm: https://opengameart.deviantart.com/ There it is. I also noticed it has a twitter feed that looks like it's been inactive since 2014.
If the original owner of the OGA DA art page isn't interested in updating the group anymore, I'd be more than happy to take it over. It will give me something to do during my overnight shifts, especially ones that are just 2 hour wellness checks. Granted, the update schedule would need to be a bit flexible like my job, but I'm thinking updating at least every Thursday to start.
If that's ok, of course. I don't want to seem like I'm begging to be an Admin or anything like that, but I would like to help out this community a little more than just contributing art once in a while. I've grown to love this place and the people and want to help you all in any way I can.
Lost in time would be great :D

Honestly I don't mind what theme,just happy to do a challenge, I like to use them as an option for the game jam. I reached out to Bart about the Twitter ages ago and never got a response. Lost in time sounds cool.:)

+1 for "Hard Times". As it's how I feel about the state of the world right now.
I get a vote, right? ;P
I like lost in time too :)
