I want to buy a white lace umbrella/parasol to use in a future stock shoot. If you would like to help me raise money for it, you can donate to my PayPal account and you will get exclusive stock packs in exchange. You may donate as much as you want. Please send me a note for more details!


If anyone wants to donate any prizes for the contest, pls send me a note! It can be anything: subs, prints, exclusive stocks, features... It would be awesome if you could help! And I also need help promoting the contest, so if you can put a link to here in your journal, it will help a lot.

Contest has ended. Results will be announced at the beginning of July (after I finish with my exams)

The theme is "Victorian". And you can build upon it however you want. I'm looking for some variety and originality here.

Main rule is to have something of my stock used, minimum one female picture (that means I won't allow an entry that only has the sky taken from my stock, you must use at least one full body or portrait picture from my gallery).

Contest start: 19th April 2009
Contest end: 19th May 2009
Extended until 19th June 2009

Entry must be a new work, submitted on or after 19th April (of this year, duh) and you must write that's it's your entry to my Victorian Contest. And send me the link so I can add it to the list, of course.

You may have up to 2 entries. They can be photomanips, paintings, drawings or mixed media.

So good luck everyone!



Now about my stock...I'm planing on buying a simple backdrop, should have done this some time ago, and so I can take pics inside, meaning there won't be risks of having burnt spots from the sunlight. Though I'm kind of unsure as to which color to chose, I was thinking white or red would be great for the start and maybe in time I can have extra ones, to go better with the theme and be able to also use them for my photography, like a little studio. For now, I'll just experiment with my parents' purplish/pinkish window curtains.

Also, would anyone be so very generous and kind and sweet to donate me a sub? So that I can retake my activity properly, being able to feature people with astonishing works. And of course you would get my eternal love and an updated feature for as long as the sub lasts + exclusive stock packs.


I have also made my first exclusive packs, which you can get by donating towards my stock fund (for costumes, backdrops, props, etc.). You can donate as much as you want, from 1$ up. You can see the pack here: [link] & [link] & [link]


Last but not least, don't forget to check my art and craft accounts: &


I also make custom gothic accessories, so if you'd like to buy something rare and even unique, head to my crafting account (~elixiumgothic), have a look around and note me there with what you would like!
