TYPE: Photo Effects
TITLE: Digital Art XV- Dance!
RULES: You are to create digital art using all the skills that you can muster by using photos as a tool to enhance your art in the form of texturing your drawing providing background setting or tidbits that help to tell the story of your depiction of the Dance! theme.

1. This is a combination piece using both illustration and photomanipulation, and therefore the "Your entry contains illustrated elements that are more painterly than photo-realistic in a contest where the intent is realism." rule has been waived.
2. Paintovers are allowed. Clone tool painting is welcome.
3. Close reference is allowed as long as the source is not someone elses illustration.
4. All sources and a copy of your initial drawing or evidence of your illustration must be linked in author's entry comments before voting begins.
5. The major part of your work must be drawn or a paintover.
6. 3d elements may be used, as long as you are the sole creator and originator of the design.
You may not use someone else's creation or model.

Suggestion- Do a pencil drawing, scan to photoshop or similar program and paint it using photos and textures.

Welcome to the fifteenth contest in this series.

In this Digital Art contest we're asking you to create an image associated with Dance. The possibilities for this theme are endless:- There are so many ways to interpret this theme. I'm not even going to suggest any ideas. I want your very own interpretation!
Create a scene, real or imagined, which depicts Dance! the way you interpret it. Get the idea?
So now, astound us with your creativity and choreography!

Who wants to play?
