You don't have to reveal your plans, but have you started working yet? If
you're not entering, is there an entry you would like to see done by someone else?
This could serve as a thread for inspiration, and to receive feedback on work in progress. Also, it would be great if people could post their finished work here when the deadline has expired, so that everyone can enjoy every artists' work, even if they're not one of the winners or honourable mentions.
Previous contests (winners):
Halloween Art Contest 2007
Halloween Art Contest 2006
Halloween Art Contest 2005
Generally, the idea is for you to "craft Halloween art with a Guild Wars theme."
Last year, these were ideas of what you could enter, displayed in the rules:
__* Carve a pumpkin—real or not—and take a photograph.
__ * Create a blueprint for other pumpkin carvers.
__ * Sketch a costume by hand or on the computer. If you're extra creative, stitch up that costume, add some makeup or temporary tattoos, and model it in a photograph.
__ * Design a desktop image to share the joy in your home, school, or office.
__ * Decorate a cake, bake some cookies, compose a menu, build an edible haunted house—put your culinary skills to the task.
__ * Spruce up your homestead and send a photograph.
Remember:
! One entry per person
! "Entries will be judged equally on the basis of creativity, style, and the melding of Halloween into a Guild Wars theme."
! Last year there were 90 prizes available, but they upped the prize pool as they announced the winners because of all the great entries. You shouldn't expect this to happen again, but you must expect the entries to be even better than last year, and the competition to be more difficult. In other words, DO YOUR VERY BEST!

I for one have started working on my entry. It will be a costume, so it's going to take a lot of time to construct. I'd be willing to post work in progress here and give constructive criticism to other artists, as well as help anyone else who's making a costume.
I'll be bringing the Sylvari concept art to life as best as I can.
