The Shadows + Echoes series explores familiar concepts in horror photography, sharing the most striking of dA's dark and disturbing images to inspire your own macabre art.
If you are offended or upset by the use of fake blood, gore effects or staged violence in art I advise you not to read on. You have been warned! Also, the contents of this article probably aren't work-safe (although it depends where you work!) so please bear that in mind before clicking your way through to the article.

The Real Artistic Nudes
=just-started-bloomin
reports, 2d 16h ago
reports, 2d 16h agoHey everyone,
Well its time again for one of my feature news articles, this time its the turn of the artistic nude. I think all these photos are awesome and really show more than you can see. They show emotions. Thats what i think make an artistic nude. Anyone can take their top off and call it art but to make it artistic you need more than that and i think all these photos have that, i hope you all agree. Enjoy!

The contest was launched, and participations GREATLY exceeded my expectations.

Special... very special indeed... and certainly worth it!
Without further delays, here goes the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes, as well as honourable mentions (which correspond to the photos that got at least one vote).
