Halloween has returned, and with it, ghosts begin to stir within your gallery… ✨                This year, reawaken the gentle art-spirits of yore. Forgotten OCs, dusty sketches, and faded masterpieces linger among past works in your gallery. Restless with unspent creative energy, they softly whisper: “Remember me?” Now’s your chance to answer their call and breathe eerie new life into them. What might they become, if they could haunt you just a little longer? 🕯️ Summon your sketchbook spirits Dust off a forgotten piece from your gallery and give it new (after)life. Get creative to earn this year’s eerie-sistible spectral profile badge! How do I take part in this resurrection? Pick an old deviation from your gallery. This can be one of your first-ever sketches, a WIP, or just a piece that deserves another moment in the moonlight. Reimagine it in ghostly form. Eerie, spectral, glowy, surreal, glitchy… whatever your vision of its afterlife may be! 📌 Tip: Use DeviantArt Draw
