So in typical Halloween fashion, the Stick Nodes community will have a spooky contest, but this time we’re trying something new.

 Make a Halloween scene in Stick Nodes and submit it via a new post in the linked group. At the end of the contest, the prestigious judge will rank the top three best pieces of art. Consideration will be given to custom stickfigures, general visual aesthetics, spookiness, and humor.

🎃 The Rules

Submit your entries here with a new post: https://sticknodes.com/groups/stick-nodes-halloween-2022-art-contest/

• Art must be 100% Stick Nodes. Art, filters, text – all of it. Point is to show off what Stick Nodes can do, art-wise.
• Export must be 4k PNG, use of anti-aliasing and “better blur” is up to you, it is suggested you try multiple export combinations and pick the one you think is best-looking.
• Generally the concept is just “Halloween”. This can be interpreted however you wish. Funny, horror, unsettling, action, etc.
• You may use any stickfigure(s) on the website. Obviously using “better” stickfigures will make your art look better. Due to this, your entry must contain a considerable amount of work on your end and not rely on just placing a couple of someone else’s very-well-made figures on the stage and calling it a day. This will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
• One entry per person, if you make a new entry, edit your old post and either remove it or make it clear that entry is void.
• Joints are fine, one prize is being awarded though, up to you to split it among yourselves.

👻 The Prizes

Hold onto your butts we’re breaking the bank with these prizes!

• 1st Prize: $25 and a shiny website badge
• 2nd Prize: $15 and a shiny website badge
• 3rd Prize: $5 and a shiny website badge

Prizes will be delivered via Paypal or gift card of your choice, if possible for me to do so.

(Look give me a break, the giant Christmas event will be starting soon and the economy is in shambles. This is more of an appetizer.)

(I’m also spread a bit thin right now so excuse the lack of art and Halloween decor this year.)

Shouts out to K-Zilla for making the banner artwork at the top of the website. I began working on something myself but just realized I have no time for this nosnense.
