2004-10-07 [Future Dictator]: haha it worked!

2004-10-07 [Chel.]: question....do they have to be elfs?? what about aliens or somthing?? (if they have elf-like ears)

2004-10-07 [the Indigo]: whats the deadline for this?

2004-10-08 [Asrun]: Chel-chan : As long as they *look* human, it's okay..Nothing with liek 20 eyes or anything

2004-10-08 [Asrun]: Deadline will be set when there's some more enteries. :)

2004-10-08 [Chel.]: ok...what about skin color? its not really a 'normal' skin color...:\

2004-10-08 [the Indigo]: o.o

2004-10-08 [Chel.]: umm....she has purple skin and hair...along with wings...:\

2004-10-08 [the Indigo]: O.o

2004-10-08 [Chel.]: lol...BUT GIGANTIC ELFY EARS!!

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: *lol* What do you guys think? Purple skin okay for elves?

2004-10-09 [Chel.]: if not, then i guess that i could do a different one

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol, why not a purple elf? sounds fine to me (hey, it's fantasy, right? ^^) and drows have black or dark grey skin...meh, I vote yes to purple.

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: [angel_whispers]: That's exactly what I was thinking after asking the contestants... But since it's my contest, I say it's in [Chel.]! *smoochies the purple elf alien!* :P

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol ^^ I should draw another entry for this... O.o by mild nudity do you mean...er...is a full nude figure allowed or do you want the "important" parts covered?

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: for example, something along the lines of this: http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/b/o/bonadeo/arevil_nelly_bday.jpg.html (not saying I'd enter this, as it really isn't close to anime...but the general concept I guess...)

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: By mild nudity, I mean like.. No open legs shots, nothing pornographic or sexual. :3

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: ah, okies ^^ I think I might do a nude entry then. But...will have to wait and see I guess. Is there any particular deadline in mind for this?

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Depends on the amount of entries.. with 3 prizes, I want more than 6 artists. XD

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol. I'll have to run aroung advertising...hmmm...

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: XD Hehee. Yesh.. If any of you know anime artists on here, please feel free to invite them. :D

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Is [Future Dictator]'s first entry working for anyone else? o.O

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: I'll have to see how many of them remember me ^^ but [Sana], [Darklyn], and [empty_] are a few really good ones. I'll have to go check them out

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Just harrass then until they join. XD They don't have to remember you.. *lol* :P

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol, I've sent a message to sana...didn't really know the other two that well anyway, but I figure I'll ask them anyway.

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: and no, that one entry isn't working for me either. Sometimes da doesn't allow you to link to a picture, for whatever reason. it's also possible that s/he removed the picture from da, forgetting that it was in a contest. I'd suggest messaging him/her to find out.

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: meh, darklyn appears to have deleted his account, ended his relations, and left... O.o

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Yesh.. could do.. Mine you.. Most people entering contests watch them. o.O;;; Bah.. those elftown leavers! :P

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol, yeah, I guess they do usually watch them... (although I, in my stupidity, entered this one, forgot to watch it, and then couldn't remember the name of it!!! *sigh* but, I found it again on art contests, and now it is safely watched and in my description.) ^^ Anywho, messaged sana and fuurin, and am off to hunt don more anime artists ^^

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: *lol* I do that too.. All the time! :P Aww.. Thanks so much. :D You're my little artist hunter. XD

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol. ^^

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: I've been trying to do the same.. Unfortunately, I don't know many artists. x.X

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: hehe. One of the best ways I've discovered to find excellent artists, both anime and non-anime, is to go to art contests and see who's entered the various contests. fuurin I discovered in a contest a loooong time ago (uhh... bishie contest? eh...I'll have to think of which). Darklyn I believe I also met in a contest. Can't remember how I met sana, although it was most likely through a contest as well O.o

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: *lol* That's what I did just now.. At least in two contest that I've entered. X_X;;

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: I appologize in advance to those people that I just harrassed. :B

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol. it was bishounen contest was where i met fuurin ^^ hot anime elf there too...lol

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: bishie elves contest-old contests, some good entries ^^ maybe ask [dilandau] and [Bad_Badtz] next... ^^

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Okies. :D

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: well, harassed them both O.o harassed flamingo especially, since I sorta know her, and I babbled from a caffeine rush...so, yeah...um...

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: *lol* I harrassed both of them too.. Oh oh.. X_______X;;; *lol*

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: say, i like your picture! (the love birds one up at your house) ^^

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: ah well...double harassment...meh. maybe I'll go "apologize" to flamingo, and bug her more O.o

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: there, apologized ^^

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: anywho...

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: I think I'll clean up some of the various contests/wikis that I have open...

2004-10-09 [Sith Kitten]: Yay, my first contest entered. *waits impatiently* ^__^

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Thanks, i have a bigger version in my art wiki. X.X Elftown shrinkage feature destroys work. *lol* Aw, thanks. :D I'll apologize too.. When they join! ¬¬ *lol* XD~

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Thanks Sith Kitten! :)~ I was going to ask you after visiting your page, but you didn't have much art up besides your self portrait. o.o;;; Didn't want to harrass someone who might not be interested. :)

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: and that's such a cool style there [Sith Kitten]!

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol. welcome to the contest! cute ^_~ anywho...hey, you guys should vote for the computer art contest! hahaha, harassment! anywho, gonna end the poll there in a few minutes, and announce the winners...sooo, if you two would like the honor of getting in the last 2 votes... *nudge nudge*

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: and the anne rice contest... and the

MEMEME Contest

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: *lol*

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: :p just b/c I was harassing other people...I decided to harass everyone equally ^^ anywho. yeah, gonna go close the vote for the computer art contest now ^^

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: :D Okies

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: I was going to join that contest.. But then I decided that I didn't want to get my @$$ kicked and then handed to me on a plate. XD

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol, yeah, there were some pretty amazing people in there ^^ I can't do computer art at all... O.o

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: and now, on to the anne rice contest...

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: ooohhhhh, i likes it ^^ nice entry chibi!

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Yay! Thanks [Chibi_Kaya88]

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: hey asrun, did you make your own badges for this?

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: (more specifically the pictures for the badges)

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Yesh I did. :3 I thought it would be better than just ripping art off. X.X;;; Don't want to get in trouble or anything

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: AAAARRRRGHHH! what are you talking about that you'd get your butt kicked in the compart contest???? shame on you!!! grrr.... that's it, I'm making a second one. and i am forcing you to join it!!! somehow... eh... O.o yeah. you must join it!

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: (eh, that is computer art, right?) *sighs and inches away slowly to hide...*

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: anywho, gonna log out and go play FaitH now (http://www.dragonclawstudio.com/faith -- Join as PE, be a Riftian rogue, and join my kd! mwuahahaha!) eh, yeah, it's about $25 to join PE, so I'm not reeeally expecting you to pay attention to that, although there is a free version of it, and it is a good rpg game ^^ but, yeah, enough of the spamming :P gonna go play now

2004-10-09 [Chel.]: Awesome [Asrun]!!! (is reading a few pages back) Purple alien elfy chic it is!!

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: Chel-chan: * lol* Yep, she's in. :d

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: [angel_whispers] I'll join if you ask. X.X ;; Yesh, it's computer art. :d I'll check out the RPG.. But I really don't have time to play. ;/~~

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: :P

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol asrun, you really don't have to, I was spamming coz we've been needing 2 more kd members, and noone is really joining as a paying player this era, so there's noone to recruit :( I wasn't really serious about it tho ^^

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: I would if I wan't a full tiem student right now. :(

2004-10-09 [angel_whispers]: lol. what grade level?

2004-10-09 [Asrun]: 1st year BDes.. Illustration major. ;/

2004-10-09 [dshwshr55]: Wait a minute! Did you say prizes?? .. There's so much good shtuff here T_T

2004-10-10 [Asrun]: [angel_whispers] Ahck! Don't. X.X Not that good.

2004-10-10 [Asrun]: [dshwshr55] The only "prizes" are the badges. If I had money, I'd buy some stuff and actually send out real prizes. o.o;; Really, I would

2004-10-10 [angel_whispers]: lol asrun, I'm looking anyway *sticks out tongue* mwuahahaha! Just watched LotR again (Twin Towers) *sigh* I love the battle of helm's deep -_-

2004-10-10 [Asrun]: LotR are great movies. :d I couldn't get myself through the 2nd book though. X.X

2004-10-10 [Leara]: Neither could I. X.X

2004-10-10 [dshwshr55]: Try The Silmarillion. Now that's some heavy reading! ... >.> ... um... I actually liked it, though it felt like reading the dictionary.

2004-10-10 [Sith Kitten]: Can I make a change to my entry? I dunno if thats against the rules or not.

2004-10-10 [Chel.]: woa...[akhirah]'s entry reminds me of the "monster" in the movie, The Village!! scarey...

2004-10-10 [Leara]: SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen that yet and I really want to!

2004-10-10 [the Indigo]: yus!! really good movie *nods* i agree with [Chel.]

2004-10-10 [Chel.]: ^^ ok, i wont spoil!

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: [Sith Kitten]: You're allowed to change your entry up until voting. :)

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: Wooosh! New entries. :D And I want to see that movie too!

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: New updated entry Leara.. o.o;;;; Pretty...

2004-10-11 [Leara]: Unfinished by far, and I'm noticing mistakes. Lots of em. *twitchs*

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: You must be more observant than I am.. o.O

2004-10-11 [Leara]: Maybe. O.O But I'm picking out stuff I need to fix. @_@

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: You always see extra problems with your own work. X.X

2004-10-11 [Leara]: @_@ Well, they annoy me. Severly.

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: Me too. :( I'm totally like that

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: I like how [Sith Kitten] colours.. She has shinnies! :D *lubs shinnies*

2004-10-11 [Leara]: Reminds me. I have to color my pics. X.X *dies*

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: Colouring is fun. :D

2004-10-11 [Leara]: So says you. V.V;

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: *rolls around in colour goodness* :D

2004-10-11 [Leara]: *pokes* If you like it so much, color my pics. XD

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: Gimme an inked version and I will.. Only one though.. X.X I spend 6-14 hours on colouring.. *lol* And I hate cleaning up other people's sketches. XD

2004-10-11 [Leara]: My sketches aren't inked. @_@

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: INK. >:O Hehe. :3

2004-10-11 [the Indigo]: do you feel special to-day? ^_^

2004-10-11 [Leara]: ; _ ; I dun wanna ink em...I'm afraid I might ruin it. >.<

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: I never feel special. :D do you feel special?

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: Dun ink the original. X.X; Ink a copy with the lines redued in opacity. Makes it much easier. That's how I ink. ^.^

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: Ink is scary.. I'm super-shaky! :I

2004-10-11 [Leara]: You just like...confused me...

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: Wha? o.o

2004-10-11 [Leara]: The ink a copy stuff....@_@

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: Yeah.. I take it into photshop (the sketch) reduce the sketches opacity to like.. 45%.. Print it out, then ink that, and it I ruin it, just print out another. :D

2004-10-11 [Leara]: O.O hmmm...that actually is a good way of doing it. o.O

2004-10-11 [Asrun]: YESH! I read about that on another page.. And was lik e"WTF.. Why don't I do that?" :D So, now I do.. I used to just print out a sketch (after resizing) then trace it through layout bond.. Bond is expensive. :(

2004-10-11 [Leara]: bond? huhna? Whats that?

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: Layout Bond. It's expensive see-through paper with a smooth finish

2004-10-12 [Sith Kitten]: I'm just ignorant, but when is the entries closing? I have an idea for another one, but dunno if it'll get done in time. ^^

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: Sith Kitten: With 3 awards, I'd *like* to get over 15 entries... But we'll see

2004-10-12 [Sith Kitten]: Oh so no actual date, just when the number of entries are filled? Okay! I'll try to get it in then.

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: Yeah, no worries. :3 I want to get a few more people to enter. :3 BTW, this conest is going to be voting for the artist overall, not each piece

2004-10-12 [Leara]: Sweet. Now we can't compete with ourselves. lol

2004-10-12 [the Indigo]: you sure?

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: ... There's a contest idea... :P *lol*

2004-10-12 [angel_whispers]: new entries! (I think ti must have been inspired by the village...it DOES look like the "monster"!)

2004-10-12 [Pegasus Rider and Lancer]: When does the contest end? Or has it already ended?

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: The conest will end when I get some more entries... (of course, if I don't....) There will be fair warning though

2004-10-12 [Pegasus Rider and Lancer]: Oh ok. I was thinking about entering...but I didn't know when the contest ended.

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: ENTER! >:O *commands* ... Please? ;.; ;D

2004-10-12 [Pegasus Rider and Lancer]: ok...lol. I'm not as good as some of the ones already up...but I can try.

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: Please do! ^.^ The more the merrier!

2004-10-12 [Pegasus Rider and Lancer]: ^_^ Ok. I will do that. I'll scan one that I finished yesterday, and then I'll do another one....is that ok?

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: That's perfectly okay! ^____^

2004-10-12 [Pegasus Rider and Lancer]: yay! Lol

2004-10-12 [dshwshr55]: I have one that's almost finished, too, so.... ^^

2004-10-12 [Asrun]: Yay! So that's at least 2 more enteries. :)

2004-10-12 [Chel.]: dont forget I'm replacing mine!! ^^

2004-10-12 [the Indigo]: i cant see it...

2004-10-12 [Chel.]: oh...crap...hang on!

2004-10-13 [Asrun]: I fixed it for you Chel-chan. :) Just some HTML mixed up there with the ET code. See, now.. I wouldn't have seen alien looking at them. o.O

2004-10-13 [Chel.]: WOW!! Thanks!! I couldn't figure out what the issue was...!!

2004-10-13 [Asrun]: No problem. XD You had  I just removed the " and the src . :)

2004-10-13 [Chel.]: ooohhh....ok!! cause photobucket gives you like 3 different html codes to use...and i wasnt sure which one!! i guess this means i have to use the tag and add in the <img: thing!! THANKS!!!

2004-10-13 [Asrun]: Not a problem Chel-chan! :D 

2004-10-13 [Asrun]: Nice new entry Dilandau. ^.^ You do nice pen work

2004-10-13 [Dil*]: thanks :)

2004-10-14 [Pegasus Rider and Lancer]: It may take me awhile Asrun. I've got a choir concert coming up next week, plus a retake on the TAKS Math test, and I've been busy with those...so I'll go ahead and scan one picture in...and hopefully get the second one up before the contest ends.

2004-10-14 [Asrun]: Okies. :) There'll always be other contest. ^.^ I like running them. o.O;

2004-10-14 [Pegasus Rider and Lancer]: I have several contests going...but not a lot of people have entered.

2004-10-14 [Asrun]: Yeah, I'm trying to get a bunch on here, since there are 3 prizes. X.X;

2004-10-15 [angel_whispers]: heya, more entries ^^ bah, I asked dilandau to join...and he already had!!! *feels stupid* bah...

2004-10-15 [Dil*]: eh..i'm a she.

2004-10-15 [Asrun]: Oooo.. New additional entry by the ever talented Akhirah. :D

2004-10-15 [Dil*]: yeah..i wish i had your m4d colouring skillz!

2004-10-15 [Asrun]: Yesh.. I want to learn how to make stuff look like a painting... o.o

2004-10-15 [Dil*]: it's called "Corel Painter 7" -i'm soo envious.

2004-10-15 [Asrun]: I have Painter 8.. But I don't know how to use it.

2004-10-15 [Dil*]: WHAT?.....it's like photoshop :P

2004-10-15 [Asrun]: Not really.. Soo many tools. ;.;

2004-10-15 [Dil*]: umm..just get a hold of the brushes and you're good :P

2004-10-15 [Asrun]: No. :( Not that easy...

2004-10-15 [Dil*]: uh..i used painter for like a day and i painted an apple :P

2004-10-15 [Asrun]: :(

2004-10-15 [Dil*]: lol..the apple is awesome..i made it all weird and blue..glowly and my friend is like "WTF.."

2004-10-15 [akhirah]: i use photoshop..^_^

2004-10-15 [Dil*]: You DO?! >.<

2004-10-16 [Asrun]: How come MY PS doesn't look like that? >:O

2004-10-16 [Asrun]: Pretty entry dshwshr55! :D I like her outfit

2004-10-16 [dshwshr55]: T_T You serious?! I think I ruined it by trying to color it. I think I'll leave the coloring to someone else from now on.

2004-10-16 [Chel.]: i like the purple sleeve thing! ^^

2004-10-16 [angel_whispers]: :( sorry dilandau... (bah, I get it all the time too tho ^^ ) great new entries guys!

2004-10-16 [akhirah]: i cant use other programs except photoshop 7...^_^;;; n using a tablet is some kinda of advantage too i think...*rubs chin..*

2004-10-17 [Asrun]: *bites Akhirah-chan* >:I I use a tablet too, but it doesn't work like that me!! :P How to you make "streaks" without it looking.. Uh.. sh*tty? :(

2004-10-17 [Dil*]: NO FAIR!!! i wish i had a tablet >.<...

2004-10-17 [Mitsune]: *pops out of nowhere* No kidding, but there so expensive!

2004-10-17 [Dil*]: yes..and i'm poor.

2004-10-17 [Mitsune]: Yep! So am I... but then again... I want the really expensive cintiq tablet!

2004-10-17 [Dil*]: i want a normal decently priced one..not the cheapest one i can get, but the next one up >.<

2004-10-17 [Asrun]: My Wacom Graphier was like.. $150Can.. And that was 2 years ago

2004-10-17 [Dil*]: like 150 canadian?

2004-10-17 [Asrun]: Yesh

2004-10-17 [Mitsune]: The smallest 4x5 Tablet is $120 Can., but it comes with Painter classic and Photoshop 1. I'm not to sure whether or not it's worthwhile to buy! 

2004-10-17 [Dil*]: i saw one that was like 80 dollars....at future shop.

2004-10-17 [Asrun]: Mine never came with PS. >:O Just Painter Classic.

2004-10-17 [Dil*]: uhmm..it doesnt usually come with PS

2004-10-17 [Mitsune]: The one that I saw did.... It was at best buy... Some sort of special deal!

2004-10-17 [Dil*]: crazy....the newest PS as well?!

2004-10-17 [Asrun]: PS 1 mitsune said.. They would never give away an $800 program. :P

2004-10-17 [Mitsune]: That would be cool though... They probably give PS 7 with a really espensive tablet like cintiq... I mean geez... it costs almost $2000 American...

2004-10-17 [akhirah]: teh secret is to have the 'flow' of the brush really low %, n just mix it in XD u haff a nice colouring style any-hoo asrun XP

2004-10-17 [akhirah]: erm..i made a tutorial on how i coloured one of my pics Art Fundamentals if ne-ones interested XD

2004-10-17 [Asrun]: *lol* I took a course last year called Art Fundamentals. x_x; Thanks for the link. :3
