Theme
AtlantisWhat have in common: The Azores Islands, (Atlantic Ocean), Bimini Island (near Florida), Crete (Mediterranean sea), Tartessos (near actual Cádiz, Spain), Malta (Mediterranean sea), Andes (Bolivia part), Pharos Island (Alexandria, Egypt), Atlas mountains (north of Africa), Cyprus (Mediterranean sea), Coto de Doñana (Spain), Cyclades (Aegean sea), Sardinia (Mediterranean sea), Antarctica or Pegasus Galaxy (up there, very far away), and other hundreds that simply dont fit here? The only common point is that all them has been, and are, inheritors of a myth that someone pointed to them.
¿What have in common authors like Plato, Jules Verne, Marvel Comics Group, or DC, or Walt Disney Company?

Atlantis. La Atlántida in spanish, Atlantidae in german, Atlantide in italian, LAtlantide in french, Atlântida in portuguese,
and so we could keep on, cause most of the common languages of the world include a Word to define the named Lost Continent.
What can have Atlantis myth to attract so much human imagination?
Sunken under the ocean, destroyed by the force of the sea, and lost, as narrated by Jules Verne in his novel
20000 leagues under the sea.
Hidden into the earth, old and forgotten, as fancied by Disneys artists in the movie Atlantis.
A sunken city in a planet in Pegasus Galaxy, as told by the screenwriters of the StarGate Atlantis TV series.
Anyway, the main point all or almost all have in common is the relationship of Atlantis and water. The transparent liquid is the first idea that comes to our mind when we see, listen, or simply recognize Atlantis somewhere. You only must do
a search in DeviantART to realize that, when take off the ones relates with Disneys movie and StarGate TV series, almost everything remain is
water.
It was mainly
a search in DeviantART, and some of the found images, what inspired me for releasing this second contest. If my first contest was about Fantasy Landscapes, the second should be something so much inspiring as the first one. And theres not very much things that feed the imagination as much as Atlantis.
Cause Atlantis is much more than water. Its power, its energy, its oblivion, is claustrophobia, its state-of-the-art technology, its hydrophobia, is beauty, is desolation, is a night landscape showing an atlantean woman watching the moon
or the moons, its a giant wave annihilating a city, is a woman with a greek costume, is a man with a spear
or a laser, its a siren staring the highest building of her submerged city, its a dome under the sea
or in the space, its an island under an iceberg
or over it, its a warrior riding a killer whale
or a child riding a dolphin, its an amazon with a high technology robotech, or a child playing with a broken doll hooked to the doors that protect the city of the flooding, its a circular city surrounded by canals, its a fish swimming the ruins, its a bird flying over the most technological of the cities, its a cow grazing quietly while an atlantean milking her udder
Your turn. Close your eyes during a moment. Think one only Word: Atlantis. Whats the first think coming to your mind?
So, now, open your eyes, take your pen, mouse or graphic tablet, and start shaping it.
Share with DeviantART in general, and with the crazy lovers of the most marvelous fantasy, your unique vision of Atlantis.
Wanna help us?

In regard to your contest, I must ask a question. I know you said digital art is allowed, so does fractal art qualify? I would like to make a fractal Atlantis and submit is as entry for the contest. Would that be ok?
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

All kind of visual art is welcome.
