He who birthed the strange tale into our world with a spurt of kaleidoscopic intergalactic vomit has now decided its end. *CliveBarker has chosen his favorite Chapter Eight to bring the multi-imagined Hydra-headed beast of a story to the end. All that remains is Chapter Eight illustration submissions remaining open for the next two weeks. And with the perfect visual, Odyssey II: Propulsion will become another hallmark in deviantART history.
So many writers and artists from around the world contributed amazing gifts of their wildest imaginations, collaborating with each other and offering suggestions and encouragement to

We want to especially thank an elite core of Odyssey II writers:
Those deviants truly embodying the spirit of the project by continuing to create and submit next chapters – no matter the story’s refusal to go along with their proposed direction. The zeitgeist is a powerful force, but the artist must know when to sail against the been-there-done-that. And our writers, artists and poets have been doing that week after week. So many artists and writers continue to send in wonderful material week after week.
We have decided to extend the writing deadline for the last chapter to December 31 and we're

Comments From the World-Wide Chairman of Fotolia, Inc., Oleg Tscheltzoff,

Amazing detail and stunning color work. Great touch on the lightning bolt. It has that "Old school" brush technique look to it. Flames feel so real, I swear I could hear the fire snap and crackle.

Death and destruction posed no obstacle to our top three winners in the Fotolia 4: Stockpocalypse Challenge! We challenged you to take one of three stock images from Fotolia and create a vision of a post-apocalyptic future. With the help of the World-Wide Chairman of Fotolia, Inc., Oleg Tscheltzoff, these three winners have survived to the end!

Comments From the World-Wide Chairman of Fotolia, Inc., Oleg Tscheltzoff,

Great concept and execution. Innovative, isolating the father and son into a statue. Loved the creature work and depth of the picture.
