Contest goal:

Round 2 of our first photoshop tournament! In this contest, the top 16 members of the previous round will be allowed to participate. These contestants will be announced on april 1 and april 2 - 2012. After this announcement, you will be able to submit your entry.

This tournament runs for 4 weeks, week 1 is 'open for all', which means everyone can enter. Week 2 only the top 16 members of week 1 will be able to participate, week 3 the top 8 members of week 2 and in week 4 the top 4 members of week 3. The winner of round 4 will be crowned king or queen of Pxleyes! This final round's winner will be awarded with $100!

This week's theme is: number eight
The number eight is the lucky number in China. This number is your inspiration for this contest. Create any scene, object, person,... that somehow involves the number 8. What you do with it is up to you. You can make ordinary things in a 8 shape, create a surreal landscape entirely built with 8 symbols, or you can think of an abstract interpretation of the number. Whatever you do, the number 8 must be present at least once in your picture (rotated, skewed or sizes in any form you like). If you're choosing for an abstract interpretation, don't forget to explain in your description what it's all about. Good luck!

Good luck!

• The Eighth Dragon Gate / 第八龙门 [Dì bā lóngmén] is a fictional Chinese digital painting made with Photoshop by the forsaken artist (don't worry it's not my real name) after finished the first war (Ko PS Tournament Round 1).

• A self terror weapon from long forgotten oriental war continues its search for victims to destroy, even though both sides of the war annihilated themselves aeons ago. Without the correct command to stop it, the deadly dragon emperor will continue to carry out its mission indefinitely.

The English translation of the Chinese literature:

• 龙王再以复活
Lóngwáng zài yǐ fùhuó
The Rise of The Dragon Emperor

• 孙悟空传奇
Sūn Wùkōng Chuánqí
Legend of Sun Wukong (The Monkey King) (5 years and 2798 days ago)
