Well, it was just a matter of time - I hardly visit dA any more, unless it's for my stock-account syccas-stock (https://www.deviantart.com/syccas-stock) and even though I still do photography I just can't be bothered to put it on dA these days. Not sure if I'm just gonna put everything in storage and leave the account itself open or if I'm actually deactivating but yeah, if you want to reach me, it's probably better to just head over to my stock-account instead of here. Thanks to everyone who has favd and commented on my work and who has made the past years a nice experience, I did get to know a lot of interesting folks here but the excitement is had to fade sooner or later.

So, my former group PortraitClub (https://www.deviantart.com/portraitclub) was hosting a contest and I promised to feature the winners, so here's the wonderful winning photos plus a little selection from the winners' galleries: 1st place :thumb295691272: by pbird12 (https://www.deviantart.com/pbird12) :thumb296104616:  :thumb291245153: :thumb279068493: 2nd place :thumb300569626: by rusrainbow (https://www.deviantart.com/rusrainbow) :thumb301482813: :thumb267370705: :thumb277192918: 3rd place :thumb293288614: By Queen-Kitty (https://www.deviantart.com/queen-kitty) :thumb291265769: :thumb274908520: :thumb278438381: CSS by: `GinkgoWerkstatt (https://www.deviantart.com/ginkgowerkstatt)

So, I'm hosting another contest (for manipulators, digital and traditional artists). This time on my stock-account ~syccas-stock (https://www.deviantart.com/syccas-stock) and its topic is to create mythology-related images, rooted in your home country. Have a look at syccas-stock (https://www.deviantart.com/syccas-stock) for more details. Contest deadline is May 8th, you obviously have to use my one piece of my stock but the rest is open to your interpretation. I'm also now officially begging for price donation. I'll sponser subscriptions and customized, exclusive stock packs but I can always use a journal feature or whatever you can spare :) Thanks in advance and hope to see some of you participating ^^ CSS b
