Hey, I'm back with a new contest. AC Ryan ProModding & ProData is the company that provides the prizes. The first Data Generation Contest was really fantastic and great fun - thanks. I hope this one will be as fun, if not better. Should you have any question, just ask me, or post you question here and I will answer.

-------------------------------------
Theme : HIFX - Evolution
-------------------------------------
What does HIFX mean? High FX / High Special Effects

HIFX is the name for a new product that AC Ryan will be releasing soon. For the purpose of this contest for artistic interpretation, it doesn't matter what product it is. We are looking for your interpretation / artistic expression of HIFX.

So we are looking for artwork with extreme effects. Maximum effects. Photoshop people ... photoshop to the max!!! Photography people show off those photography trickshots. Paint / airbrush / illustration people... we'll take surrealism, mixing real and virtual, basically get that shock and awe effect.

To give the theme a focus, your artwork should be about Evolution. Good or Evil / Natural or Unnatural are welcome
