2006-08-25 [Zab]: sweet:P

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: :P Suggestions as to anything are welcomed. xD Like, will the winners just get some fancy badges or something?

2006-08-25 [Zab]: Yeah, I think fancy badges are the best. x) I'd do them.. but I want as little as possible to do with the contest as I'm going to enter it:P

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Yah. :) I'll try to make them myself, or then I'll poke at someone else. xP Completely offtopic, I'm getting a job interview! \o/

2006-08-25 [Zab]: There is a wiki where you can get them:P

Congrats! :D

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Where would that be? :o
Thanks. ^.^

2006-08-25 [Zab]: uhm..Official badges I think..
I think it's linked in the commentbox on elftownbadges

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Hum. I was thinking along the lines of something more personalised for this contest, but those will do, too, if I don't get anything else by the time I start having reason to worry about this issue. :P

2006-08-25 [Zab]: Well, you can always make som too:P

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Yeaah... They just won't be that fancy. :P But, well, we shall see.

2006-08-25 [Zab]: hehe..you could make a photomanip? :P

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Possibly. :P It won't have a centaur either way, though, because I can't draw horses and I don't have any available to take a picture of. <_<

2006-08-25 [Zab]: You can get a horse photo from me, if that helps?

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Okay. :) I'm not very experienced at photomanipulations, though, so it might not bear fruit. But I can try. ^.^

2006-08-25 [Zab]: Okay! :D You'll get a jumping horse..(but I have to destroy the rider, I promised not to show the pics..x)
Should I mess with the saddle and take the background away for you?

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: I'd be grateful if you did. :)

2006-08-25 [Zab]: ok..I'll try..removing a saddle isn't very easy..XD

2006-08-25 [Zab]: Do you have Gimp or photoshop? I could upload it as a pds file:P

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Gimp user here. :D

2006-08-25 [Zab]: Okay, then it can handle psd :P

2006-08-25 [Zab]: meh..I'll find another pic..I can't fix it without making it look painted..

2006-08-25 [Zab]: Can you make a child centaur? x)

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Aww, okies. // Umm, why not? :P

2006-08-25 [Zab]: to child centaur too?

2006-08-25 [Zab]: PSD file..they're on different layers so you can just delete the ones you don't use, and no foal..x)

And you can't answer by editing old comments! I don't get a note under the new wiki comments then! :P

2006-08-25 [Zab]: meh..wait a sec

2006-08-25 [Zab]: <URL:stuff/mixhast.psd> should work..

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Well, I first got you saying you'll find another pic, and I replied 'aww, okies' to that and then noticed you'd asked about the child centaur meanwhile so then I answered that in the same comment, too... And then I noticed that 'to child centaur, too?' xD

Anyway. I've never worked with a PSD file, so I hope I won't screw anything up. xD

2006-08-25 [Zab]: And didn't answer the last! :O You've done the same at EG, that's why I commented it:P

XD! Everything you do in Gimp are the same file type:P I hope you know how to use layers?

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Eh, same file type? *confuzzled* Yeah, I know how to use layers, more or less. :P

2006-08-25 [Zab]: PSD (PhotoShop Document) is exactly the same as Gimp documents, or at least I've never found any differenses:P

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Ooookay. Well, I've only ever worked with JPG and GIF so err. :P Aaanyways, can't be too hard. <_<

2006-08-25 [Zab]: Have you opened it? :P
If you've used layers you have worked with gimp doc/psd ;) When you save it as a gif or jpg you're really only saving a copy.

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Right, okay. :P
I'm really not so good at understanding artist talk. I'm an amateur! xD So if you talk about different formats I'm bound to be confused. :P

2006-08-25 [Linderel]: Well, I opened it, and it doesn't look too threatening. ^.^
I'm going to spend the evening with some friends now, though, so I'll continue with it later tonight or tomorrow. :P

2006-08-25 [Zab]: Aww...don't worry, I'm like that too..x)

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: Does this mean I'm opening the contest? :P

2006-08-28 [Zab]: ^__^'' ...yes?

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: Okay. :P Hmm... Deadline, deadline...

2006-08-28 [Zab]: 10 entries? x)

2006-08-28 [Zab]: Or 20, if we'll advertize on mainstreet?

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: I was thinking more along the lines of a date. *points up*

2006-08-28 [Zab]: I know...O_o but..that would take so long time..XD

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: Hush! :P So might 20 entries, mind you.
Hmm...

2006-08-28 [Zab]: XD I won't say more, it's up to you:P

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: There. *nod*

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: Gack. *fix* It was supposed to be tenth, not first... <_< Now the contestants have a bit over a month... Is that enough for an art contest?

2006-08-28 [Zab]: yah, think so:P

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: Okies. ^.^ *goes poke at mc people*

2006-08-28 [Zab]: Whee! XD

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: And then individual advertising... *puts link on bio*

2006-08-28 [Zab]: XD hehe..yah..

2006-08-28 [Hummingbird]: O.O *spazes*

2006-08-28 [Zab]: O_O gonna enter? Oh noes, I'll lose..XD

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: :o

2006-08-28 [Zab]: hehe (she's gooood!)

2006-08-28 [sky fox]: hmmmm. this contest intrigues me. i'll go dust off my scanner.

2006-08-28 [Hummingbird]: XD No Zabby is too good o.o *steals her skillz* XDXDXD no really o.o can I

2006-08-28 [Zab]: My skillz!! ;__;
Ask Linderel..but I think you can..XD

2006-08-28 [Hummingbird]: Lol XD now I shall rule the art woooorld! :D
Meep :3

2006-08-28 [Zab]: ..you already do mistress. *bows*
Now where is that smexy man you promised me? x)

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: Only art? ;-; ._.

2006-08-28 [Zab]: yes.... O_o think so

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: Meh.

2006-08-28 [Zab]: ..but we have a poetry corner I think..x)

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: Not as a competition though :P

2006-08-28 [Zab]: hehe..nooo...

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: I don't see why photography is forbidden. I'd pay good money to see an authentic photo of a centaur =P

2006-08-28 [Zab]: XD it's the manips mainly:P

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: Yes, but you did forbid photography as well. I'm just pointing out the stupidity of it =P

2006-08-28 [Zab]: Linderel did, not me! XD *blames her*
hehee..well...then I'll post a manip and claim it to be true! :O

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: Blame it on poor Linderel *shakes my head*

2006-08-28 [Zab]: XD hehe

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: Well, I don't know why exactly I put that rule there. :P
I'll take it off. xD

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: There, tha's better. ^_^

2006-08-28 [Zab]: XD hehe yah

2006-08-28 [Zab]: ..but then.. are photomanips allowed?

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: I did change it to say 'any media', didn't I? So that means photomanips, too.

2006-08-28 [Zab]: hmm..yes....>_____> *goes to photograph a centaur* >)

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: *giggles*

2006-08-28 [Zab]:

Lookie! I found one!

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: That's old!

2006-08-28 [Zab]: I know..but I can't remember any other photo I have..XD

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: Alzheimer kicking in?

2006-08-28 [Zab]: Surely:P

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]:
"Ole, hva heter han tyskeren som roter i sakene mine hele tiden?"

"Alzheimer, bestefar, Alzheimer."

=P

2006-08-28 [Zab]: XD *lmao!

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: I love it, it's one of my favourite jokes x)

2006-08-28 [Zab]: hehe..it's fun:P

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: I know, I'm a fun person, all the jokes I tell are fun =P

2006-08-28 [Zab]: oh yah, of course..XD

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: Sound a bit more convinced, will you? =P

2006-08-28 [Zab]: Nah,..why? XD

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: Hmpf *pouts*

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: Can I have the same in English? ;P

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: Hehe, sure =P

"Jack, what's the name of that German guy who's always making a mess of my things?"

"Alzheimer, Grandpa, Alzheimer."

Roughly translated =P

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: Heh.

2006-08-28 [Zab]: O_o

2006-08-28 [Linderel]: o_O

2006-08-28 [Elegy - gone]: O_O

2006-08-28 [Zab]: o.o

2006-08-28 [Cia_mar]: lol

2006-08-28 [Zab]: hehe:P

2006-08-28 [Skydancer]: Hmmm. should be a set of poses of Zab to use for the centaur.. :)

2006-08-28 [Zab]: O_O .... okaaaay...XD Why? *doesn't really know what to think of that*

2006-08-28 [Skydancer]: Simple, if we had shots of you to use for the model, then it could be Zab's Zab Centaur contest.

2006-08-28 [Zab]: XD well, I'm not the host for this contest, so:P
And I prefer art in form of drawings before photos in art competitions..

2006-08-28 [Skydancer]: Then maybe I will use [Linderel] for the model. :) chuckle...

2006-08-28 [Zab]: x) hehe..maybe for another contest:P

2006-08-29 [Cia_mar]: could i enter this one?

2006-08-29 [Linderel]: Erm. I don't see why not. :o

2006-08-29 [sky fox]: ok, i've drawn my entry, i just need to scan it in... it's just a pencil sketch, but it's the taking part that counts anyway.

2006-08-29 [Zab]: Yay! :P

2006-08-29 [Linderel]: Mascot. ^___^ And yay, entrants!

2006-08-29 [Hummingbird]: *is dragged past by a gnome* o.o

2006-08-29 [sky fox]: oh....kay, that's just weird. *kills gnome* filthy creatures.

2006-08-29 [Linderel]: :O

2006-08-29 [sky fox]: what?

2006-08-29 [Linderel]: That was to [Hummingbird] getting dragged by a gnome. :P
And hee, you have Finnish song lyrics in your bio, [sky fox]. :D

2006-08-29 [sky fox]: indeed. **loves nightwish to bits**

2006-08-29 [Hummingbird]: *lays on the floor behind the dead gnome* what? no treasure?! XD

2006-08-29 [sky fox]: of course, gnomes are rubbish. if you want treasure, kill a leprechaun.

2006-08-29 [Linderel]: I wonder how they're doing at the moment. :o Nightwish, I mean. :P

2006-08-29 [Hummingbird]: Lol XD sorry I'll shut up XD

*goes leprechaun hunting*

2006-08-29 [sky fox]: nightwish eh? rumour has it, they have their new vocalist, and she's not as classically trained as tarja was. but this may just be hear'say, i've not heard anything official.

2006-08-29 [sky fox]: lol, after their lucky charms eh?

2006-08-29 [Linderel]: Well, it shall be seen. Tarja was the head of their image so I'm not sure what sort of welcome the new vocalist will have... Especially if she doesn't have a voice trained for opera singing.

2006-08-29 [sky fox]: i really didn't care that much when tarja left. tuomas writes the music, so as long as he keeps writing, i'll be happy. i couldn't care less for the band's image. it's not important next to the music.

2006-08-29 [Linderel]: Well, yeah. I'm not saying their image is that important to me, either. I was just thinking on the large scale. And personally I did like her voice. :)

2006-08-30 [Lakayana]: it's a pity for him. Poor centaur... he died

2006-08-30 [Linderel]: Awww... *squints* What's that thing in the lower right corner? It looks like the paper is wrinkled, and there are two lines? :o

2006-08-30 [Zab]: I think it's stapled..Oo
cute:P

2006-08-30 [Linderel]: Hum. :o

2006-08-30 [Kuehne]: I have just started attempting to draw centaurs.. what a coincidence. But, honestly, I'm a bit blown away by the competition.. I don't think I'd stand a chance.

2006-08-30 [Zab]: Enter it anyway, it's just for fun in any case:P

2006-08-30 [Kuehne]: Ok.. i'll see what i can do

2006-08-30 [Zab]: Yay! :D

2006-08-30 [Linderel]: Yay, more entrants! :D

2006-08-30 [Kuehne]: still working on it.. i've never been good at equines

2006-08-30 [Linderel]: Hehe. That is exactly the reason I am hosting this contest... I'm hopeless with equines. xD But I look forward to seeing you post your entry. :)

2006-08-30 [Zab]: ..it's now I can't really say ''I know exactly what you mean, I never get them right either!'', isn't ? >_>

2006-08-30 [Linderel]: I am afraid so. :P

2006-08-30 [Kuehne]: i think i'm not that good with them because i haven't been around horses all that much

2006-08-30 [Elegy - gone]: And before you ask, no Zab, you can't really agree with that either =P

2006-08-30 [Linderel]: *giggles* I can, though. :P

2006-08-30 [Elegy - gone]: Me too! =P

2006-08-30 [Zab]: darn! Leggy, why havn't you entered? :P

2006-08-30 [Elegy - gone]: Working on it =P

2006-08-30 [Zab]: yay!

2006-08-30 [Linderel]: Eeee squeeeee cuuuuuute! *huggles it*

2006-08-31 [Linderel]: *dances* More entries!

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: i'll keep trying to get that scanner working... i've got a huge stockpile of unscanned art...

2006-08-31 [Zab]: Wh00t! Entries! I like the centaur :3

2006-08-31 [Linderel]: I hope you'll get it to work. :)

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: lol, you like the centaur? they're all centaurs... **ish confoosed**

2006-08-31 [Zab]: I know...x)

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: you knew? *sniff* why did you have to confoose me like that?

2006-08-31 [Zab]: Because I don't want to point out special arts:P

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: touche indeed.

2006-08-31 [Zab]: ...*huggles all*

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: *ish huggled* eee!

2006-08-31 [Zab]: O_o

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: whats with the weird eyes?

2006-08-31 [Zab]: I just like them:P

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: fair do's. i've got work in an hour btw... so i'll probbably be gone in 20 mins from now...

2006-08-31 [Zab]: aww have fun..

2006-08-31 [moira hawthorne]: needs a banner!

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: you think so? this contest is already linked to another wiki which has a banner.

2006-08-31 [moira hawthorne]: well that banner is a piece of artwork in this contest.. so its not really 'correct' to use it as a banner to advertize this contest...

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: no, what i meant was... this contest is a sub-page of a larger wiki, so a banner isn't really required for THIS page.

2006-08-31 [moira hawthorne]: yes.... b/c I want a banner to advertize this contest! on my home!

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: well, i guess youll have to ask someone to make one...

2006-08-31 [moira hawthorne]: I believe that is want I was doing

2006-08-31 [Zab]: Or make one yourself:P

2006-08-31 [sky fox]: lol, sorry, i didn't know you wanted a banner for it in your house... i thought you just wanted one at the top of the wikipage. i get what you mean now.

2006-08-31 [Linderel]: *dabbles something on Gimp* Just a mooooooment. I won't promise anything fancy. Just a simple text banner.

2006-08-31 [moira hawthorne]: thats fine...

2006-08-31 [Linderel]: There we go.

2006-08-31 [moira hawthorne]: that works... =D

2006-08-31 [Linderel]: I think it would have looked better without the border after all. :S Oh well. :P
