2012-09-11 [Nocturnaliss]: Wonderful :) I'm still working on the badges, but I'll make sure I'm done by Sunday.

2012-09-11 [The Dizzy Raven]: :3

2012-09-14 [Eyonic]: i have a sketch finally, dunno if I'll get it done in time

2012-09-14 [XxTsomexX]: Gah. I keep forgetting this with all the health shenanigans I have going on.

2012-09-14 [Nocturnaliss]: Eyonic, if you don't get done in time with the full picture: just post your sketch. There's a poll winner and a handpicked winner, nothing says you can't win either one ;)

Tsome, sorry to hear about that :( like I said for Eyonic, even if you have but a sketch, post it anyway. Considering the timezone difference, I'll not be closing the contest until my Monday, and I'm not an early riser ;)

2012-09-14 [XxTsomexX]: I'll try to make a sketch at least lol

2012-09-14 [Nocturnaliss]: That's the spirit :) I'm looking forward to it!

2012-09-14 [XxTsomexX]: There we go :)

2012-09-14 [Nocturnaliss]: Haha lol that was quick!

2012-09-14 [XxTsomexX]: I had nothing to do at the moment, so I'm drawing :3

2012-09-14 [Nocturnaliss]: Well that's good :) would've been a shame to miss the deadline eh ;)

2012-09-14 [XxTsomexX]: It so would lol

2012-09-16 [Eyonic]: got my sketch up there o.o should be able to get it colored in time

2012-09-16 [Nocturnaliss]: Oohhh very nice. In case you can't, could you just give me some basic info about your idea ? Like, colours, patterns ? It's so I can make a mental image of it.

2012-09-16 [Nocturnaliss]: Well guys, deadline's approaching fast... [The Dizzy Raven], still hoping you'll get yours uploaded in time, and [Eyonic], that you'll get yours coloured ;) it's 11pm for me now, I plan to close it around 5pm tomorrow - leaves about 18 hours to participate. :3
Also, I'm gonna need someone's help with the setting up of the poll, as I've never ever done that.
And, lastly, the badges only need color. They're done, and I'm finishing them up right now ;)

2012-09-17 [Nocturnaliss]: I hope you guys like the badges! I just suck at color, sorry :S the poll winner badge will be altered when the winner is announced, to depict their art :).

2012-09-17 [Nocturnaliss]: Also: I just noticed I made that 'gryphon' instead of 'griffon'. ... please don't shoot me °-°

2012-09-17 [Eyonic]: hope it's not closed yet o.o thought i had until the end of the day. as for colors noc i was thinking of phoenix-griffon o.o

2012-09-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: I say "gryphon" all the time XD it's my preferred spelling. looks cooler

2012-09-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: I won't be able to submit this round :( Haven't had the time to work on it

2012-09-17 [Eyonic]: make sure to click on it :3 i had fun with some filters this time o.o started out orange and brown lol

2012-09-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: Holy crap Eyonic! O.O You really...I mean... REALLY outdid yourself this time. The colors are amazing! :D

Oh wait... I CAN enter *facepalm* I drew a gryphon portrait not too long ago... I completely forgot about it. lol hold on. I'll post it in a second

2012-09-17 [Eyonic]: hehe i like the facial expression :3 and that green color is lovely

2012-09-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: Aw haha :3 Thank you *hugs*
How have you been doing btw? Been a while since we last talked :)

2012-09-17 [Eyonic]: been decent, had to get a job so I've been pretty busy

2012-09-17 [Nocturnaliss]: Wonderful entries, guys! And we're just one entry short of my goal ;) so I'd call this a succesful contest. Next is up to the voters! I'll see if I can get this poll thing worked out.

2012-09-17 [Nocturnaliss]: And there we go. Time to vote, dear contestants and watchers :D

2012-09-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: Woot!

To Eyonic, same here. Haven't had too much time for art. Between current job and looking for a new job... yeaah. XD So yeah, about the same for me. Good thing are going well for though though :)

2012-09-19 [Zab]: I want to vote for #a too... x)

2012-09-19 [Nocturnaliss]: You can't ?

2012-09-19 [Nocturnaliss]: Oh. Sorry. I thought it wasn't working for you for some reason, but you did vote. My bad. XD;

2012-09-19 [Nocturnaliss]: Um, also, I see now every watcher has voted, plus a surprise voter who happened to stop by :) do we keep the poll open (and spread the good word), or close it and announce winners ?

2012-09-19 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol :3 I wanted to vote for both "a", "d", and "b". But sadly, I could only choose one. XD It was hard.

XD

2012-09-24 [Nocturnaliss]: Winners have been announced. It's been a pleasure, guys :3 now, will someone volunteer for the next contest, or do I have to tag someone ? <<

2012-09-24 [The Dizzy Raven]: Congrats, Guys! :D

2012-09-24 [Eyonic]: grats zab! and love every bodies entries!

2012-09-24 [Eyonic]: so who will host the next one?

2012-09-24 [The Dizzy Raven]: I'll do it :D Unless someone else wants to :)

2012-09-25 [hanhepi]: Bah, guess I should have read a little further before I voted just now. It shouldn't effect the results, I voted for Zab's.

2012-09-25 [Nocturnaliss]: [The Dizzy Raven]: I tag you. ;)

2012-09-25 [Eyonic]: :D mukki!

2012-09-25 [The Dizzy Raven]: Woooootttt!!!! :D Awesomesauce! :3
I will set it up :D

2012-09-25 [The Dizzy Raven]: Theme vote... Yes... no... maybe? :)
Wanted to do something not done often for contests. XD

2012-09-25 [XxTsomexX]: OOOOOOOOOO. Me gusta.

2012-09-25 [The Dizzy Raven]: XD

2012-09-26 [Nocturnaliss]: Holy crap cool idea! Question: when you say zodiac, does this include the chinese zodiac ?

2012-09-26 [The Dizzy Raven]: Thanks! :)
Yesh :3 ze chinese zodiac. XD my bad

2012-09-26 [Zab]: Whoooot! New contest! And I won the old one :P

2012-09-26 [The Dizzy Raven]: hahaha lol :3 whoooot

2012-09-27 [Eyonic]: oh yes, i like this one :D *doodles away*

2012-09-27 [The Dizzy Raven]: haha awesome! :D
Can't wait to see everyone's entries!! <3

2012-09-27 [Eyonic]: Mwahahaha!! i haz a sketch :3

2012-09-27 [The Dizzy Raven]: Looking really awesome so far! :D

2012-09-27 [Nocturnaliss]: Really does o.o I need to get sketching too.

2012-09-27 [The Dizzy Raven]: :3

2012-10-01 [The Dizzy Raven]: So....how is everyone doing? :)

2012-10-02 [Eyonic]: pretty good, bogged down with work though

2012-10-02 [Nocturnaliss]: Bit absent, been a long week at work @_@ my coworker's taking days off, so it's just me for... another long week. Meh! How're you, Mukki ?

2012-10-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: Aw sorry to hear that, guys :/ and I know how you feel, Noct. Think of it this way though... more moolah! lol

I've been doing alright. Just started a new job :)

2012-10-02 [Nocturnaliss]: True, true, that's exactly how I look at it ;) plus, I work in music/movie/gaming retail, so I really can't complain. Just tired. lol

Oh, what do you do ?

2012-10-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: hahaha yesh, I wouldn't be complaining either if I had a job like that. lol

Craft and decor retail now :) I work at Hobby Lobby

2012-10-02 [Nocturnaliss]: Oohhh that must be fun too! Excellent for creative types :D

2012-10-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: Yeah it is XD but it's a massive store. Really huge. So it's difficult to remember where things are.

2012-10-02 [XxTsomexX]: I-I want to work at Hobby Lobby!! We don't have those up here in the Northeast :'( I went to one in Georgia and felt like a kid in a candy/ice cream shop

2012-10-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: Yeah, it's a pretty awesome place :)
to work in one is awesome too. they just raised their wage to 9.25 and hour <3

I already knew the people in there though. worked there before for the holiday season a year or two ago

So, if you ever get the chance to work in one, take that chance. :D it's so worth it

2012-10-02 [XxTsomexX]: I have an interview tomorrow, but I have a feeling it isn't going to turn out good.

2012-10-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: Hey guys :) If you have a deviantart account and is a member of my Dragon Fanatics Group, you can join this contest:

http://dragon-fanatics.deviantart.com/journal/Current-Contest-Xenomorph-Halloween-Challenge-330400649

Especially if you're thinking about making a Xenomorph just for fun. It's xenomorph/dragon/halloween/ chinese zodiac related XD

they wanted halloween for the contest, so I made it a super tough challenge because a normal dragon halloween challenge would have been too easy XD

2012-10-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: Aw, Tsome. :( Keep your chin up :) You can do it. You never know

2012-10-03 [Eyonic]: dang, I almost got the job at hobby lobby here, but Sams club called back first :O both are decent places, and sams club pays better >:3

2012-10-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: Same's club does pay good :) 10 an hour right?

2012-10-03 [Eyonic]: i got started at 10.75 an hour since i had cashier exp already :D

2012-10-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: ah ok :) that's even better lol

2012-10-04 [XxTsomexX]: Car thing failed. Oh well, to apply everywhere else now.

2012-10-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: aw *hugs* :( I wish you the best

2012-10-07 [The Dizzy Raven]: 4 WEEKS LEFT!!! :D

2012-10-18 [The Dizzy Raven]: 14 days left! :D

2012-10-19 [Eyonic]: gah i need to start working on this again :/ been playing too much wow...

2012-10-19 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol

2012-10-25 [The Dizzy Raven]: So... is anyone going to enter??? 'Cause there are 8 days left... :/

2012-10-25 [Zab]: Anamorph? :D http://elftown.eu/stuff/xYU56OP.jpg?x=500&amp;y=507 oh.. xenomorph. ._. I'd like to enter but I have exams coming up and such..

2012-10-25 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol
And understandable. I'm just surprised no one entered. The contest itself would usually have 3 entries by now.
I might just extend it

2012-10-25 [Eyonic]: I've been coloring my entry o.o

2012-10-26 [The Dizzy Raven]: awesome :3

2012-10-26 [Eyonic]: about half way thru, finally got out of my wow phase :3

2012-10-26 [Eyonic]: so far hehe

2012-10-26 [Zab]: Nice!

2012-10-26 [The Dizzy Raven]: Holy crap! That's awesome!

2012-10-29 [Nocturnaliss]: I've been completely absent from the webs. Hadn't had time yet to think of something, it's actually a pretty difficult theme lol definitely won't have anything in time.

2012-11-16 [Eyonic]: the contest is over :( makes me sad that i was the only one who entered...

2012-11-16 [Zab]: At least there was one good entry :)

2012-11-16 [The Dizzy Raven]: Yeah :) You had an awesome entry, Eyonic. will make you a badge :D

2012-11-16 [The Dizzy Raven]: Ok... lets see... who wants to do the next contest?

2012-11-17 [Eyonic]: I could do one o.o if you guys want me to

2012-11-19 [Nocturnaliss]: It was a good contest, but I fear the topic was a bit tough... I seriously STILL didn't get any spark of inspiration for it. And Eyonic's entry is simply fabulous, anyway.

I'd say, go for it Eyonic, unless someone else feels like taking the next turn ?

2012-11-19 [Eyonic]: if someone wouldn't mind making an older contests page for CAC Xenomorph, i can get started. have a few ideas in mind :)

2012-11-19 [Zab]: Xenomorph is archived :) I hope the badges and such will be placed on the archive page too. :)

2012-11-20 [The Dizzy Raven]: :DDDD still have yet to make a badge, Eyonic XD

2012-11-20 [Eyonic]: no prob, I'm not in a hurry. I put up the next contest :3 and as said in definition 2 a chimera can be any combination of animals, not just the classic lion-goat-snake one. :D looking forward to what people think of.

2012-11-20 [Zab]: In a book I have a chimera is a lion with part goats body, a scorpio tail and a human face.. :O

2012-11-20 [Eyonic]: yuppers :) there's also chimeras from shows like FMA that are mixes of animals :D like a lion and lizard

2012-11-22 [Nocturnaliss]: Aahhh now that's something I should be able to get inspired for. I used to play this game with my mom when I was little, where we took a blank piece of paper; one drew a head, then folded it neatly so you couldn't see what it was, then the other drew the body, folded it, then the one drew the feet... and then we rolled the paper open. We made some magical stuff back then ;D

2012-11-22 [Eyonic]: :D that sounds like fun! must do this when my little one is a tad bit older o.o

2012-11-23 [Nocturnaliss]: It really is. And, I already have inspiration for this round ;D the hardest part, now, is to get to it XD

2012-11-26 [Eyonic]: :D i have the sketch for the badges done yays

2012-11-26 [Nocturnaliss]: Ohh that's awesome :D I'm curious to see 'em!

2012-11-26 [Eyonic]: :3

2012-11-27 [Nocturnaliss]: I was just wondering about the deadline, and came to check... I see you took the x-mas period into consideration XD by the way, any of you contributing to this year's Secret Santa ?

2012-11-28 [Eyonic]: not so far no, haven't done a secret santa in forever o.o

2012-11-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: I wanted to. not sure if i can. Are they advertising it yet?

2012-11-28 [Nocturnaliss]: Secret Santa 2012

2012-11-28 [Nocturnaliss]: I'm not sure whether I'll manage, either, but I just love secret santa too much not too participate XD

2012-11-29 [The Dizzy Raven]: ah thank you :)

2012-11-29 [Nocturnaliss]: :)

2012-11-30 [Eyonic]: hehe badges

2012-11-30 [The Dizzy Raven]: badges are adorable :D

2012-11-30 [Nocturnaliss]: Ooohhhh I definitely want to win one. :)

2012-12-01 [Eyonic]: :D

2012-12-02 [Nocturnaliss]: 's looking good Zab :)

2012-12-02 [Zab]: Thanks :)

2012-12-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: i just remembered that i did a chimera a while ago and never posed it to ET, just on my adoptables account on DA... I could use that. lol it's a kitten XD

2012-12-02 [The Dizzy Raven]:

Would this work? or not chimera enough?

2012-12-03 [Nocturnaliss]: That's adorable :D and why wouldn't it be chimaera enough ? Fits description 2 and 3.

2012-12-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: Well... ^^' it doesn't have the body of a goat... lol I like kitten feet... soo.... yeah :D kitten paws are adorable. XDDDD lmao

and thank you :)

2012-12-03 [Eyonic]: that'll work fine :) i like both yours and zab's :D

2012-12-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: I know! Zab's is soo cute!!

2012-12-30 [The Dizzy Raven]: I guess everyone's been busy with the holidays lol

2012-12-31 [Eyonic]: i guess lol

2012-12-31 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol

2013-01-02 [Nocturnaliss]: Yeah, quite a bit! Work's been killing me x_x and there's still a week of holidays to go. But, I expect to be able to make time to draw what I want. :)

2013-01-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: <3

2013-01-09 [Eyonic]: getting close to the finish :3 hoping we get at least one more entry

2013-01-10 [Nocturnaliss]: I'm still hoping to get something done in time... I just got to start <<

2013-01-10 [Zab]: this far I'm voting for nr 2 :P

2013-01-13 [The Dizzy Raven]: Thanks Zab :D I'm voting for numbah 1! :3

2013-01-15 [Eyonic]: This contest is Closed! unfortunately i have no ides how to make one of those voting charts o.o

2013-01-16 [Nocturnaliss]: Sorry Eyonic, I just didn't manage to make something in time... as for the voting thingy, here you'll find what you need:

http://elftown.eu/wiki.html?name=pseudo%20html#Creating%20wiki%20polls

2013-01-17 [Eyonic]: :D thankyou! hope i did it right :3

2013-01-18 [Nocturnaliss]: Seems like you did!

2013-01-21 [Nocturnaliss]: While we're waiting, is there anyone who feels like volunteering for the next round ? I'll already mention I have an idea << but feel free to challenge me for it. :)

2013-01-22 [Eyonic]: i wants to draw something :D

2013-01-22 [Nocturnaliss]: That's already one :) where's the rest of our little group, anyway ? XD

2013-01-24 [The Dizzy Raven]: Yay voting started
:3

2013-02-21 [Nocturnaliss]: So um... when is voting ending, exactly ? <<

2013-02-23 [Eyonic]: oh lol, oops XD

2013-02-23 [Zab]: Yay :)

2013-02-24 [Nocturnaliss]: Mwaha :D so uh, anyone up to host the next contest ? If not, I wanna. <<

2013-02-24 [The Dizzy Raven]: Go ahead, Noct :) I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem

2013-02-25 [Eyonic]: ooo yes, go noct! i wanna draw sometin

2013-02-25 [Zab]: Go for it :)

2013-02-26 [Nocturnaliss]: New contest is up and running! To your brains, my friends :)

2013-02-27 [The Dizzy Raven]: I have one to post that no one's seen on elftown yet :)Going to go get it from my deviantart account. give me a sec. It's recent

2013-02-27 [Eyonic]: that's lovely mukki!

2013-02-28 [The Dizzy Raven]: Thanks :)

2013-02-28 [Nocturnaliss]: Aahhh yes, that's a nice one :) and clearly sea-faring ;)

2013-03-01 [The Dizzy Raven]: Thank you :3

2013-03-01 [Zab]: Haha, how funny that you chose that theme as I just made this watercolour piece for a friends birthday :P I don't make sea-creatures that often afterall. I'm starting to like watercolours.. they begin to obey my awesomeness ;)

I don't want to partake in this round though, but I can show the pic:
"Yeah, that's definetly a shark fin.. or maybe a dolphin but they taste good too, right? Go for it!"


Close up on the dragon-things head.. I like it :lol:

2013-03-01 [Zab]: *presses the invisible like button below Mukkis entry*

2013-03-01 [Nocturnaliss]: That's really lovely! Aww, why wouldn't you join the fun this time around ? :( *sniiffffffffffffffffff*

2013-03-01 [Zab]: I rather just watch :P And I don't like to post an entry that's a gift for a friend..

2013-03-01 [Nocturnaliss]: Well that's a good enough reason ;P so I guess I'll just be slightly creeped my theme fits your friend's gift's theme. XD (btw, your friend's gonna be damn happy I'm sure!)

2013-03-02 [Eyonic]: :O that's super pretty zab, ish jealous of your friend :3 I finnaly got an outline of my entry, just deciding on how i want it colored now

2013-03-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: Very cool, Zab! :D

2013-03-02 [Zab]: hehe thank you :)

2013-03-05 [Eyonic]: mine is still huge when clicked on o.o all well. now we have a dark entry and a light entry XD

2013-03-05 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol :) Yours is really neat, Eyonic. :D I love your unique creature design.

2013-03-06 [Zab]: Nice! :D

2013-03-06 [XxTsomexX]: I've got this. I'm gonna draw something up. I need more practice with creatures for one of the comics I'm doing. There's a ton of them in there.

2013-03-07 [Eyonic]: :D

2013-03-10 [Nocturnaliss]: Eyonic, that's a really pretty sea monster! Loving it :D

Tsome, I'm looking forward to your entry ;)

2013-03-21 [Nocturnaliss]: Soooo, how's it going with the entries ? ;)

2013-03-22 [XxTsomexX]: Mine is done I just have to scan it

2013-03-22 [Nocturnaliss]: Wonderful! :D I'm curious to see it!

2013-03-29 [Nocturnaliss]: Awww sweet! Though he looks mean, actually XD nice work!

2013-04-07 [Nocturnaliss]: One week left guys! Just mentioning if anyone's forgotten about this contest ;) and to remember myself I haven't made the badges yet :x

2013-04-19 [The Dizzy Raven]: Wow. I have't been on in a week or so lol

2013-04-20 [Eyonic]: hehe I've been moving, so i have an excuse :P

2013-04-21 [XxTsomexX]: My uncle died... :( I haven't really been on since Tuesday and I'm still not gonna be on for long until like a week or two from now.

2013-04-21 [Eyonic]: ah sorry to hear that. makes moving look like a peach

2013-04-23 [Nocturnaliss]: I'm sorry to hear that Tsome :( I can but wish you strength.

Sorry I've been absent guys, RL stress has just basically broken my brain. I haven't had the energy to even conceive the badges, so I'll set up the poll and give it a couple weeks, hoping things will settle down a bit.

2013-04-30 [Nocturnaliss]: Currently two voters... where is everybody ? o.o

2013-05-14 [Nocturnaliss]: Who's gonna cast the winning vote ?

2013-05-27 [Nocturnaliss]: Oh wow, I thought someone'd have voted by now, since I'd completely forgotten about this... I figure everybody's busy ?

2013-05-27 [The Dizzy Raven]: Elftown just seems to be getting deader -_-

2013-05-29 [Nocturnaliss]: Uh yeah, apparently so!

2013-05-29 [The Dizzy Raven]: -_-

2013-05-30 [Nocturnaliss]: Just realized there was a 2 day difference between our two previous posts. Just... damn, man. Just, damn.

2013-05-30 [The Dizzy Raven]: Yeah -_-
Takes forever for anyone to respond, so I don't get on much because o such

2013-06-03 [Nocturnaliss]: Understandably. I don't get on daily because sometimes, I get home from work and I don't want to sit at a computer, I want to shoot things (Borderlands2 rules my life right now). But when everybody does that... It sucks.

2013-06-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: Yeah :/ good game btw

2013-06-04 [Nocturnaliss]: Hell yeah! We just got the Psycho pack, he's so much fun to play with X3 now looking forward to the next DLC. It's gonna be EPIC.

2013-06-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: LOL <3

2013-06-04 [Nocturnaliss]: Seriously. Have you seen a trailer of it ? It's gonna be all middle ages and stuff and have Tiny Tina as dungeon master. :D

2013-10-29 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol

and um.... this page died *whimpers*

2013-10-29 [Nocturnaliss]: It did. Considering how things stand, it's a tie. And, yeah... there ya go, I guess.

2013-11-10 [Eyonic]: :(

2013-11-10 [Nocturnaliss]: At the risk of sounding bitchy, Eyonic, you realize you're one of the people who didn't vote, right ? Sorry if I sound mean, it's just that it hurts me that this poll has remained a tie since May, you now comment to let us know you're sad this contest died... but you never voted.

Considering we're 7 watchers and the host doesn't vote, every vote DOES count.

Also considering we're 7 watchers, is there really a point to try and keep this contest running ? Btw, sorry guys, but... I don't think badges will be coming for this one. I don't have the heart for it.

(again, sorry if I sound mean)

2013-11-10 [Eyonic]: o.o oh, didn't think to vote since i was one of the artists. Forgot we only have 7 watchers >.>

2013-11-10 [Nocturnaliss]: Mukki voted... Tsome voted... there's a reason I use the visible voting option. So the artists can vote, and not on their own art (though I expect people here not to do that).

Anyway, thank you for voting. I guess I can declare Mukki winner and whomever feels like it can make a new contest.

2013-11-10 [Eyonic]: well i guess it never helped that my compy broke shortly after putting my entry up XD but sorry for not voting there

2013-11-11 [Nocturnaliss]: It's okay, really. Crap happened on my side too and distracted me, and I never gathered again the courage to finish it properly. e.e
