I love Edgar Allan Poe! - this will really be fun! Very cool new contest!

I remember the story but not any of the illustrations of it - I'm going to try not and look at any of them and go by what I see by Poe's writing. I think it will make it more interesting for myself, also so it's totally original. :D

Glad to hear that Nicholas! Can't wait to see the entries!

Also I would like to mention that you don't need to feel you must illustrate the poem. I have just given the link for inspiration.

Feel free to illustrate or sketch anything related with a Raven at all.

yes, that is correct. If you want to be a bit more advanced with it, scan the image and color it in photoshop or illustrator (use livetrace to make it vector) as a sketch. Those look pretty nice. :)

Okay here is my second one - its kinda big and its a gif so I'll just post the link - its kind of an animated site looking thing that maybe you would see on a movie lol took me forever! Its a swf file so it shouldnt take that long to load.

( 600x666 okay? ) - I hope that the swf version works for you all! looks better with an all black background :D - wouldn't look right any smaller:)

Here is both the SWF and GIF incase the SWF stops working the GIF is there.
