Ok, my little pretties... your challenge this week:

Dr Death

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based project with a medical theme. Diseases, cures, medical staff and surgical instruments, this theme is just ripe for your twisted interpretation, and the perfect excuse to play with some blood splatter, so show us your your macabre medical marvels.

Sultana of the Sinister Lynx:

Creepy Cricut Cween Donna:

Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg:

Agent of the Abominable Andrea:

Temptress of Terror Teri:

Devious Digital Demon-ess Susan:

So come on, share your dark medical visions with us, we LOVE seeing what you guys create each week :) The linky tool will be added shortly, if you finish your piece and it's not here yet, could you check back a little later? Think of it like being in a doctor's waiting room, to tie in with the theme. (Yup, we're shameless :P)

ETA: I'm so sorry for the confusion folks, but I think it's probably too late to add a linky tool now, so can you please leave your links in the comments?

Ok, my little pretties... your challenge this week:

Love Bites

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based project with a distinctly anti-romantic theme. We know there are dozens and dozens of challenge blogs out there that are challenging you to create loved-up sweet pink goo, and we want you to give your dark side a chance to bite back! Forbidden love, twisted desires, passionate revenge. Let your inner demon out and bludgeon that smug little cherub to death with his own arrows :P

We also have a sponsor this week, the fabulous Strange Skin, and the winner will get to choose 3 of their wonderfully creepy digis! I'm going to let them tell you about themselves in their own words:

"Strange Skin is a company run by, began by, and will one day be ended by, Pamela Bowman and Jorge Garcia. Until that fateful day comes, we provide very real and eager-to-be-purchased products to hypothetical potential customers. Such products include (but are not limited to): jewelry, t-shirts, toys, various other trinkets, and our newest product, digis! Oh hell yes! Though digis exist purely in the technological world of confusing neon green blips and bleeps, they can be made physical upon purchase with a simple print out. From then on the journey has begun! Do anything you want with our digis! Spruce up your ransom notes, or add a distinguished flourish to your morbid scrapbooks that once only contained yellowed newspaper clippings and victims' ears (not so hum-drum anymore, sucker)! Just one purchase gets you an unlimited supply you can use until your printer explodes or a virus deletes your backup files. But what am I saying? You know how these things work. We here at Strange Skin strain the thin membrane of our gray matter that dictates creativity in order to bring you the most unique, daring, and admittedly sometimes cliched digital illustrations for your anything-you-want-to-do-with-it-ing pleasure. We hope you enjoy our current line-up and check back in the very near future (later tonight) for even more incentive to question how much more you love being emailed some sweet-ass artwork over that lame stupid money that's just sitting there surviving this recession somehow. Halloween is our favorite time of the year and we believe our current and soon-forthcoming collections reflect that. We only hope our joy for that season spreads to you. After all, we are here to serve joy. And to serve you. Bone appetit! "- Strange Skin

Here's what the Minions have created for you this week, using some of the digis from our sponsor:

Here's what the Minions came up with this week

Macabre Mistress Lynx:

Yeah, you need a GOOD excuse to get out of babysitting :P. How wonderfully dark and creepy is this?

Creepy Cricut Cween Donna:

What a fabulous team this would be; I might even have got into football if the chamts had been along these lines :D

Digital Demon-ess Susan:

I had such trouble with this one, so just skip past it and feast your eyes on the next fabulous creation.

Smudgetastic Andrea:

Hmmm, can I have a palm piece? Genius Kentucky Fried Cannibal creation from Andrea!

Chaotic Creepy Glowbugg:

This is just stunning; I LOVE that image and teaming it with the rich damask and feathers is inspired.

Teri:

And last but by no means least we have this knock-out creation from Teri, isn't it fab?

So now that you've seen ours, we want you to show us yours. And this is Susan stepping in for Barb, but I don't know how to add the linky thing, so that will be added shortly, when Barb finds a moment to breathe, so check back a little later please.

And, before you rush off to create your dark masterpieces, we also need some suitably dark and macabre names for Teri and Andrea, so if you have any flashes of inspiration, just leave them in the comments box. Have a creeptastic week! :D
