Slideshow

^{Welcome to The Gaslight Ghost Contest. It seems there have been some strange happenings at The Gaslight Asylum; the most prominent of these are phantom comments. Haunting's afoot in the Asylum! But no one seems to know who this ghost is...

Your task is to let the cat out of the bag, the skeleton out of the closet and the tick out of the clock. That's right, you're revealing the ghost! Or is it ghosts...}

Rules

^{1. Allowed mediums are: art (digital or traditional), photography and photomanipulation with YOUR OWN stock*. Please bear in mind that photomanipulation is more than just changing colours and contrast.

2. All images should be uploaded to Elftown.

3. Good quality, please! No lined paper etc!

4. If you want to enter it would be nice if you were a member of The Gaslight Asylum - you don't have to be but it would be preferred. As this is a community contest, even the creator may enter!

5. No copied artwork. Referenced images are fine, though. If you are unsure, ask.

6. Entries should be Steampunk styled, obviously.

7. Have fun!

*This is to make it more special!}

Deadline

December 16th 2009

Judging & Prizes

^{This contest will be judged via public poll - and we may also bully [Trennas] and [Saray] into picking their favourites.

The prize for this is being the official creator of the Asylum ghost. However, there may be additional prizes which are yet to be announced. A further contest to tell the story of the ghost will be issued once the results of this one have been announced.}

1. [nehirwen] could it be da cat?
Letting the cat out of the back eh? Look what I found just outside the Asylum,
a steampunkcat that might have some loose wiring, I think it likes to randomly push buttons anywhere it comes!

2009-09-17 [Cillamoon]: Yeah!

2009-09-17 [Trennas]: I actually took the picture I used for it last weekend! There was a "mystery night" in Utrecht and they had all kinds of cool things like smoke machines XD It was pretty darn cool! :D

hmmmm lemme go check!

2009-09-17 [Chimes]: Welcome. :)

:)

2009-09-17 [Trennas]: I actually used a combination of two fonts. The swirly things on the side are from this font: http://www.dafont.com/jugend-wf.font

And the letters are from this one: http://www.dafont.com/campanile.font

2009-09-17 [Chimes]: They look like the same font. :) Great find. ^^

2009-09-17 [Trennas]: true, i think one is a bolder version of the other, but the other one doesnt have the swirly thingies XD

2009-09-17 [Chimes]: Aha. :P
I have a font made of clock pieces... The 'o's look the most steampunkish... but when combined with another font it looks cool. :)

2009-09-17 [Trennas]: which one is that?

2009-09-17 [Chimes]: http://elftown.eu/stuff/chimescwhead.png << They're on that... not sure on the names though... I'll have to search through my fonts.
It was banner for a failed RP... which will be restarted at some point.

2009-09-17 [Trennas]: the O is indeed cool, but the font itself is a bit too.. busy for my taste i think.. XD

2009-09-17 [Chimes]: :P It would look better with a less busy background... I went a bit mad when I made that. :P
