Description "An Urban legend states, that if you shudder for no reason at all, then someone has just walked over the spot where you'll eventually be buried"...Pretty creepy huh?

Anyway, This is my submission for the =TreesClub Halloween contest where you had to produce a Halloween-themed deviation that involved the tree being the main focus. Nearly all the entries were photography so I though and hope this would stand out from the crowd, and the idea expressed is pretty self explanatory.

To be Honest, Halloween isn’t a big deal in Australia, last year our house got no trick-or-treaters, and the year before that, only 2. Even I wasn’t allowed to do it as a kid unless my mother came with me and my younger brother, even then, we’d only visit half a neighbourhood…at 5pm which is still daylight at this time of the year ( Southern hemisphere means Halloween is in Spring ) So having little Halloween experience means I never cared enough about it to make one for last year, and if it weren’t for this contest, I may not have done this either but it sparked this image in my head which I just HAD to do…Yeah, it may not look scary like a Macabre and Horror deviation should, but when am I going to get to use this category for my gallery. Hope you enjoy it mwah ha ha ha ha ( walks off into creepy mist to work on the next deviation )

WooHoo!...This is my first deviation to earn more than 100 faves in its first 24 hours...ThankYou all so much !

WooHoo again, This came first place in the clubs first contest !

To avoid something really scary, I bid you do not rip my art. It'll save us all a lot of time and its just wrong

Wow! I keep seeing your name pop up, and I finally had a moment to check out your page. What an awesome piece to have front and center.
The details in the tree are fantastic, especially.

Happy Halloween to you! And keep up the great work.

My name keeps popping up? Ohh, cool Glad you like this, I wouldn't say it's my "best" work, I had it as a featured deviation because Halloween is near I'll probbaly change it to something else next month lol...I like to give as many of my works their "moment in the spotlight" as I can

Glad you like it, and thanks for the faves

Yes, we both watch and comment on 's journals and deviations quite often.

It certainly was eye catching, even if it isn't the "best".

this is a really lovely piece of work! i love the tree concept with the kulls. congrats to the first place, it deserved it!hah, if it is true with the shuddering on certain places, then someone died on the sofa in my livingroom.

Chromattix In reply to nathie [2008-10-23 10:16:09 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou I was stoked to win that contest, especially when there were lots of entries (though I do admit that half wern't great quality snapshots of local trees) But A win is a win after all

Lol, I think you misread the shuddering thing...if you shudder, it's when someone living has passed over where you'll be buried...Unless you're destined to die on the couch and someone walks all over that while your on it

Lol, you must have missed this one before, or are just getting into the halloween spirit again The glowing in the eyes of the pumpkins and skulls was some simple brushing with "colour dodge" setting with an orange colour

Thanks for faving too

Reminds me of Tim Burton and some more horror-isch styled things . Superb work and fun perspective/idea.

Love the drawing style here, very beautiful.

Neat!

Hmm, I think someone else said something about Tim Burton...since that would be the only way I recognise the name lol (yeah, I'm not normally crazy about horror-themed things, but this was fun to do for the occasion, and I'll have another Halloween deviation for this year too, hopefully it will be as successful as this )

Thanks for faving too, much appreciated
