Background

It is said that once, the peoples of Altaride were living in peace and harmony, guided by the kindness of the Ancient Gods. They gave gifts that could allow everyone to do things that could seem unbelievable. The legends say this was a world of happiness and joy, but only misty memories remain from these times...
Times of darkness came, as a huge cataclysm shook Altaride to its depths. A gigantic army of demons fell from the sky, with the only purpose of destroying any life. Fountains of flames, eruptions of rocks and rains of lightning were tearing the world. The Ancient Gods struggled, but Altaride’s fate seemed doomed.
The Ancient Gods chose their last resort: they banished themselves from the world, thus making the demons disappear (how these two events are linked belongs to the mystery of the myth). Therefore, this last solution could allow a few survivors to live and rebuild a new era.
So ended this period of cruel disasters called The Apocalypse of Blood.
Altaride was in ashes, but the dark clouds that had invaded the sky faded away, letting the remaining survivors to new hopes for a new start.
Now the Ancient Gods are celebrated through a cult, whose first aspect is about thanking the Gods for this ultimate sacrifice, which could allow the building of the civilisation through the end of the Apocalypse of Blood. This is a duty to remember.

Aim of the contest

The Ancient Gods religion is organised through a pantheon which includes many divinities. The contest is about drawing these dieties. A given picture can illustrate one or several characters. Descriptions of these divinities are available at The Ancient Gods Pantheon page.

2005-03-16 [Yncke]: Fantastic, [Cassave], especially Mortak!

2005-03-16 [syagre]: These first entries are very nice indeed !!! I personally enjoy Gordavoran's picture very much... who couldn't want to have some wine with him ?

2005-03-16 [Cassave]: Thanks [Yncke], hope to see your entries soon...

2005-03-28 [Yoruno]: They all look so gorgeous... suddenly I don't wanna post mine... *sigh*

2005-03-28 [Yncke]: Hey, come on, [Yoruno], post them. I'm curious to see it!!!

2005-03-29 [Yoruno]: There... I'm still working on her, and I've posted a smaller version of her... you can see a bigger version at my house

2005-03-29 [Yncke]: Yay! Very nice. I don't understand why you hesitated to enter.

2005-03-29 [Yoruno]: Because I simply LOVE your pencil work... and mine looks very faded in comparison... :P

2005-03-29 [Yncke]: Well, my pencilwork looks faded as well when scanned, I just use the curves layer from Paint Shop Pro to make the lines more firm.

2005-03-29 [Yoruno]: *blinks* I can hardly use paint, to be sincere... but I'll try to do something like that... ^^U

2005-03-29 [*SilverCat*]: i just want to mention a nighthauk is a gun as well as the description of a bird...quite funny that...not really

2005-04-10 [Losing Sarah]: actually it is not really a gun....if you are thinking about counter strike it is a cheap name knock-off of the desert eagle......a night hawk is a real bird....

2005-04-10 [Cassave]: The goddess Beea is associated with birds, artistic inspirations and the night. I don't know if the world of Altaride has Nighthawks (birds), but I'm quite shure it doesn't have the I.M.I. (Israel Military Industry) to develop Desert Eagles (and any derivatives). And if she were to have a gun, it’d be a Casull Fieldgrade…

2005-04-21 [Purple Artichoke]: i can't wait till i get my pics up. I like [Cassave]'s picture of beea and romarh I always imagined gods to be undescribably beautiful and his lovely pictue put a whole new prespective on it

2005-04-21 [Yoruno]: *sigh* his pics are great... why can't I use PC as he does? All i have is rustic colored pencils... *sigh* Oh, well, maybe that makes me original... *phew*

2005-04-23 [Purple Artichoke]: yeah i have photoshop CS but I have no clue how to use it the way he can use a computer...I don't have a drawing tablet eith so....yeah
