2005-09-06 [Savien]: Nice!! Thinking of trying this one on.

2005-09-06 [dilandau]: come one come all! *starts chanting "linsner is our king, linsner is our king" in an obvious knock-off of harry potter*

2005-09-06 [Perplexity]: Goodness, Kuruni... you're going to intimidate the other contestants right off the bat lol I love your artwork!

2005-09-06 [Kuruni]: *blush* .............i hope not....

2005-09-13 [Savien]: Thanks guys! I have done some coloring, and made some minor changes due to C&C feedback, but far from finished, so don't expect a lot if you see the update at my house. Maybe Thursday, I'll get her finished. :)

2005-09-17 [Kuruni]: ok

2005-09-18 [Savien]: And I know how you feel about the tablet...I just got used to using it, and the batteries in my stylus died.....

2005-09-18 [dilandau]: cool savien :)  but why is there a yellow spot on the rose? are there really roses like that?

2005-09-18 [Elisha Kelly]: Yes, there are lotsa roses like that!! And I love the coloured version [Savien]. That is it, starting second entry today!!!!

2005-09-18 [Savien]: Thanks all, and yep, roses with yellow centers are pretty common.  Do a second entry! The more the merrier. If I have enough time before the deadline, i'll do another character.

2005-09-18 [dilandau]: ive never seen one like that. guess you really do learn somthing new every day. lol

2005-09-18 [Savien]: We have them growing on a bush right in front of our house. 

2005-09-19 [Kuruni]: yeah, when the rose opens completely you can see the inside like little yellow pins :)

2005-09-22 [Mom]: Whoa...awesome pictures. I'm not sure I could even attempt something this good.

2005-09-22 [dilandau]: you can always attempt lol

2005-09-23 [Elisha Kelly]: definately, i kinda feel outa my league here, but hey, it is just fun to enter...

2005-10-03 [Balancer]: hay girl this is one awsome site you have.

2005-10-10 [Elisha Kelly]: is so liking new entry :P

2005-10-12 [DelightfulDes]: Thanks very much for the support [Kuruni] and [Elisha Kelly] This drawing is my imagining of Dawn as a Spring Goddess :) I totally adore her - and all of Linsner's art

2005-10-24 [TheRogue]: MAN there are some good entries in here..

2005-10-24 [dilandau]: yup :)  

2005-10-24 [Calico Tiger]: Oooooooo one of my absolutely fricking favorite comic books! I'll totally have to enter :O

2005-10-24 [Calico Tiger]: Btw, can I enter an entry that can not be voted on? I have no intention of actually winning. I just want to add to the fan art >:D

2005-10-24 [Elisha Kelly]: ooh I like your entry Rogue... but then again i lke all your drawings :)

2005-10-24 [dilandau]: dont wanna win? what my artwork isnt good enough for ya? ;)  tell you what. upload it and you can place it at the top with my pics.  that way i wont get it confused with the real entries.

2005-10-25 [Calico Tiger]: You kidding? Your artwork is awesome >:) But generally I prefer entering contests mostly just to be like everyone else and participate XD I'll get to working on something then!

2005-10-26 [DelightfulDes]: Very sexy portrayal of the goddess you've got there [TheRogue] Nice work! *thumbsup*

2005-10-26 [TheRogue]: thanks Des.. i just don't have the energy to color it.. :(

2005-10-26 [Kuruni]: here [TheRogue], i give you mine so you can color it.

2005-10-27 [DelightfulDes]: No worries - i think she looks gorgeous even as lineart *nod*

2005-11-07 [eyes of frost]: Wow these entries are great. Nice job everyone.

2005-11-16 [Rain Man]: U guys have some great artwork.I havent drawn in a while, hehe. I donno who Dawn is, but can I still enter the contest?.,.Seems like the features Ihave to primarily do is Red hair, a sword of some sort(in some pics there), and a rose.

2005-11-16 [TheRogue]: 'don forget the three little teardrop thingies on her eyeball. Noogits

2005-11-16 [dilandau]: the main things about dawn is hair covering her right eye and three tear drops on her left eye. lots of times she has a rose on her right arm and a chain on her left arm, but that is optional. she really seems to like corsets, vambraces, and swords lol she doesnt always have red hair, but she does most of the time.

2005-11-16 [Rain Man]: Well,..I made my drawing in like 30 minutes,..but what sux is that I cant get my PhotoShop CS program to work. It keeps being so stupid and its not starting. So Im getting the newer version cuz my bro in law has it on CD,...I'll put my final entry sometime this weekend. I have a Drawn out version. I hear u can put 2 tho so I might draw another. I dont know much about Dawn but u can say my drawing is mixed up according to what u juss said [dilandau]. In my drawing I made a rose wrapping halfway up her left leg, chains on both arms, and holding a pretty big sword(I love big swords since playing Final Fantasy 7 years ago and seeing Cloud wit one). I'll show u my undone version [dilandua].

2005-11-16 [Rain Man]: As a matter of fact, I'll juss put it on my page for now.

2005-11-17 [dilandau]: well you can put the chain and rose anywhere. JML does. its just on her arms most of the time. 

2005-11-17 [Rain Man]: oh,..that makes mines unique,..lmao jp,..hehe,.is there like some deadline for the contest?

2005-11-17 [dilandau]: 20 entries is the deadline.  unless i decide to change it later on lol

2005-11-17 [Elisha Kelly]: is it okay if I change my entries? cause I have gotten oh so much better since I did those last ones... :)

2005-11-17 [Rain Man]: lol,..ok ok. Ima prolly do a second one also.

2005-11-17 [dilandau]: go ahead and change them if you want :)

2005-11-17 [Elisha Kelly]: thanking you very much... now I am off to colour my new entry :P

2005-11-19 [Elisha Kelly]: new entry is up... much better :)

2005-11-19 [dilandau]: very nice elysiann :)

2005-11-19 [Elisha Kelly]: thankies :) if i ever get time might try another one... problem is reality is so time consuming:P

2005-11-19 [Rain Man]: yea,..i wanna get a wacom tablet,...or atleast one of them monitors that are touch screen made for art type stuff,..they too expensive tho,..lol,..i hate working wit photoshop tho also,..but i still do it because when it comes to the internet,..art looks best on programs like that,..lol,.

2005-11-19 [Elisha Kelly]: I am a tight A$$, I got Gimp for free off the net (is program I use) a mouse and a scanner. If I ever start earning money from my artistic endevours I might consider buying a tablet... but until then I'm happy to use a mouse.

2005-11-19 [Kuruni]: WOW!!!! nice entry!

2005-11-19 [Elisha Kelly]: thankies (u r talking to me right?) :P i like yours better though :)

2005-11-19 [Kuruni]: Hehe :3 thanx.

2005-11-19 [dilandau]: i use GIMP and a mouse too lol  god i wish i had a tablet.

2005-11-20 [Elisha Kelly]: they sounds good, but I actually do pretty go without one (I am so great ! I am so great!) :P

2005-11-20 [dilandau]: yeah mouse is ok, but pressure sensitivity would make shading a whole lot easier lol

2005-11-20 [Elisha Kelly]: I use different opacities for the airbrush... that works well.

2005-11-28 [Elisha Kelly]: OOh the purpleness :P

2005-11-29 [Kuruni]: [Elisha Kelly], that is awesome!!!!!!!!

2005-11-29 [Elisha Kelly]: thankies... I so love purple... I finished it last night... so I can move onto other items on my to do list :P... her hair is a little rushed... but it doesn't matter it atill looks cool. :P

2005-12-07 [Perplexity]: started an entry last night, but with my current schedule, it's likely to take forever and a day to complete. Is this deadline twenty entries (which there are 8 currently) or twenty entrants (of which there are six)?

2005-12-07 [dilandau]: um.......whichever comes 1st? idk ill think about that

2005-12-10 [Lyndarsia]: Wow, another Dawn Contest. Saw it at the DragonCon in Atlanta. *Squee* Had some really good look-a-likes.

2005-12-10 [dilandau]: yeah, well my prizes arent nearly as good as original linsner art and money lol

2005-12-11 [Kuruni]: but at least i can participate, this is the closest :D

2005-12-20 [TheRogue]: NOICE MOM!

2005-12-20 [dilandau]: cool curnunnos in the background

2005-12-21 [Mom]: Thanx...he is such a major character to Dawn's story I figured he belonged in the picture with her.

2005-12-21 [dilandau]: well its really more his story than dawn's anyway lol

2005-12-21 [Calico Tiger]: Depends on which comic series Linsner's telling at the time. It's generally pretty half-and-half. Like Return of the Goddess was her and definitely not him ;) *lurves them both* Beautiful work, Mom!!

2005-12-21 [Elisha Kelly]: ooh... that is so kewl [Mom]!

2005-12-21 [Mom]: Thanks guys...It was fun doing. I am quit taking my work so serious and just having fun with it.=}

2005-12-29 [Kuruni]: WOW!!! nice entry!!!

2006-02-13 [Kuruni]: Well, this needs some pushing!!

2006-02-13 [Elisha Kelly]: add it to mc...

2006-02-13 [Kuruni]: mc.........huh?

2006-02-13 [dilandau]: mc?

2006-02-13 [Elisha Kelly]: mainsteet... monthly calendar...

2006-02-13 [Kuruni]: hehe

2006-03-05 [dilandau]: ok everyone im gonna give this thing until the end of the month, cause it seems to have died down.  if anyone is still doing something and needs longer please let me know, but i think everyone here has waited long enough. :)

2006-03-25 [Bratt]: hrm i guess I better get to sketching for this :D

2006-03-25 [dilandau]: ok if shes gonna do one it looks like were gonna have a little extention lol

2006-03-25 [Bratt]: aww thankies Dilandau, let me finish inking this angel anime pic and ill start kicking up some sketches and get some attention to this.

2006-03-26 [Perplexity]: Thank you, Bratt, for getting me off my ass finally. ;)

2006-03-26 [Elisha Kelly]: awesome drawing [Perplexity]!!!

2006-03-26 [Bratt]: LOL ya know Plex, I miss jumping around to all our little "clique" houses and seeing who has what contests and seeing all of us keeping each other active and drawing. Those were the days ....ahhh... now all wre missing is Prisoner , DrNo & Wests entry and were complete.

2006-03-26 [dilandau]: dawn with a gun and a cybernetic arm?  now ive seen everything lol

2006-03-26 [Perplexity]: Thanks, Ely! I know what you mean, Bratt. Thats why Evil and I host these contests and try to motivate with real prizes. We miss the old days when people were drawing all the time! 

2006-03-26 [Perplexity]: You think it's too weird, dilandau? I just wanted to try something as different as possible with Dawn. =/

2006-03-26 [dilandau]: lol nah its not too weird. ive just never thought of her that way before. i mean joe's done her as a superhero so why not have a sci-fi Dawn too? lol

2006-03-27 [Kuruni]: hahahah awesome!!!! a new entry and it's pretty unoque!! a Sci Fi Dawn! i love it!

2006-03-27 [Perplexity]: I erased those mangled legs or hers and I am gonna redraw them.. hopefully done before the contest closes =9 thanks, Kuruni!

2006-04-03 [WestFactor]: Man, these are really good! Great job, guys! Heeey, Erin, why the small chest??? >_> lol Is it closed or is Bratt still taking her sweet time? :P

2006-04-03 [dilandau]: its not closed since at least perplexity and bratt are still working on theirs.

2006-04-03 [Bratt]: yeah WEST I'm still working on it dammit!!!

2006-04-08 [Perplexity]: I got a whole new cyber-Dawn to enter, so I will try to hurry up and finish her. How's yours coming along, Bratt?? Do I need to put my nose to the grindstone or what?

2006-04-09 [Bratt]: I'm seriously trying to get stuff finished but Joce has been sick lately and I had a migraine again yesterday :/ I promise I'll have mine done by the end of next week. I have to go out of town tomorrow I should be back soon.

2006-04-09 [Perplexity]: okay, I'll try to have mine done by then, too, Bratt *shakes on it*

2006-04-09 [Perplexity]: gyah... the scan really screwed it up *cries* I'll have to clean her up a little, but that's my final entry, dilandau.

2006-04-09 [dilandau]: cool, i thought you were only gonna redraw the legs, but here you are with a whole new drawing! lol :)

2006-04-09 [iippo]: Maybe if we complain enough about this one, [Perplexity] will do a third drawing for our viewing pleasures... ;)

2006-04-09 [dilandau]: no one complained about the first one

2006-04-09 [dilandau]: you guys are sure trying your damnest to give me a hard time deciding on a winner arent ya? lol

2006-04-09 [Perplexity]: Oh, iippo, don;t make me draw her again! *cries*

2006-04-09 [dilandau]: now now, only dawn gets to cry here. this is a fun contest! only fun is allowed!

2006-04-19 [Bratt]: I know I am behind REALLY bad on my contest. If you need to close this go ahead. Real life is just being stupid my computer took a huge shit and I cant find the originals that I scanned in :/

2006-04-19 [TheRogue]: I may have to redo my pic... i'm hating it more and more.. :D

2006-04-19 [dilandau]: i dont need to close it yet. how much time would you need? and redo away marc :)

2006-04-19 [Bratt]: Not for certain love, I feel awful after Plex and I made that bargain >:( I'm consulting at the moment with some computer nerds :D

2006-04-19 [Perplexity]: Marc, can you even draw with your boo-boo finger? *slathers guilt on Bratt* Though I certainly understand how life gets in the way of all this fun stuff. =/

2006-04-20 [TheRogue]: heh.. it's getting better, i can actually write a little now.. ^_^  I just keep lookin at my pic and goin UGH

2006-04-20 [TheRogue]: *sigh* never mind.. i don't think i'll have time right now to change it.. X(

2006-04-20 [Perplexity]: *offers Rogue some candy*

2006-04-23 [Rennie]: *rolls eyes* boo boo my butt...if you just would refrain from hulking out on stuff, it wouldn't've happened >.<

2006-06-05 [dilandau]: ok bratt are you gonna do one? lol

2006-06-05 [TheRogue]: XP @ [Rennie]

2006-06-17 [dilandau]: ok everyone ill give it a week more. if bratt hasnt entered anything by then, im ending the contest. 

2006-06-17 [Elisha Kelly]: oooh.... hurry [Bratt]....

2006-06-18 [Bratt]: Well I have my new alienware but I have to wait til end of June for Ryan [Zeddacus] tp come home on leave from Iraq to see if he can transfer my stuff from my old comp before it died. If not then no I cant enter and it will be a long while before I cna do art, I just cant afford to REBUY photoshop, corel painter, open canvas or paintshop pro (yeah i know i had all that on old comp but money is limited as of right now to reinstall new stuff)

2006-06-18 [Perplexity]: There's always pencil.... they don't cost much =9

2006-06-18 [dilandau]: very true plex lol

2006-06-18 [Bratt]: yeah pencil sketches i got, the scanner for some reason doesnt work with alienware (yet another project for him to look into when hes home) Sometimes I love technology and sometiems I swear its the debil!

2006-06-20 [dilandau]: well something has come up and it looks like i wont have internet for a few weeks guys. so it looks like bratt should have time to enter hers, and hopefully everyone else can be just a little more patient. im very sorry :( but ill end it as soon as i can get back.

2006-08-28 [Perplexity]: Are you back yet?

2006-08-30 [dilandau]: if you guys really want i can try to end the contest soon, but i wont be able to send the prize for a while. and im mostly likely going to loose my internet soon. 

2006-08-31 [Perplexity]: Awwww - how come you're losing internet? Just leave the contest then until you can get back. Don't rush on our account. I just saw that you had logged on and wondered if you were back back or just kinda checkin' in.

2006-09-01 [Rennie]: It kinda sucks. I did this piece so long ago that I know I could do better now...>.< just don't have the time...

2006-09-01 [Perplexity]: Yeah you -can- do better now. THe rate at which you improve is staggering, Erin. Don't be discouraged, feel proud of that fact!

2006-09-01 [Rennie]: lmao, I'm not discouraged, in fact even I can see the improvement points...I AM SPONGE!!!

2006-09-01 [dilandau]: im losing internet because ive been jobless the past few months and i cant pay the internet bill. ive basically just been able to check in every once in a while. 

2006-09-01 [Perplexity]: Im really sorry to hear that dilandau. I hope your situation improves soon, man, and know that we'll be waiting for ya.

2006-09-06 [dilandau]: i've decided to go ahead and put the poll up while i still can.   so it should be up in a few minutes...

2006-09-06 [dilandau]: please keep in mind that i wont be able to mail the prizes right now. but at least you guys get to vote now.

2006-09-21 [*DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE*]: Wow these are amazing, I forgot to watch this page a long time ago, I forgot about it, nooo I meant to enter too

2006-09-21 [dilandau]: gah you just missed it then cause i just put the poll up like last week. sorry, you wouldve been a great addition.

2006-09-22 [Balancer]: is it just me or do yo all desperatly need to get laid.

2006-09-22 [Rennie]: If you cannot keep your mean comments to yourself, do not comment at all or you will be banned permanently from Elftown. ET Guards.

2006-09-23 [dilandau]: dude its not very smart to say things like that when 3 guards are entered in the contest. i mean really. ....not to mention i think almost everyone that entered is married and probably doesnt have any lack of sex. 

2006-09-23 [Perplexity]: Retard, it's just you. lol Take a look at his page: "Im 6 feet. 13 stone and am currently training for a tryaltholon. my interests are realy to do art and phlisosify as well as science in collge." I think maybe you should tackle basic SPELLING first before applying to any colleges.

2006-09-23 [iippo]: And did he just assume that only men entered this contest? o.O Or that all the female contestants were lesbians, and everybody here were getting turned on by Dawn-pictures like he himself was?

2006-09-24 [Perplexity]: If I had him locked in my room for 24 hours, what would I do? Um, call the cops and then fumigate after they dragged him away?

2006-09-24 [dilandau]: why not fumigate while he's still trapped inside?

2006-09-25 [Perplexity]: Good point, dilandau! lol

2006-10-28 [dilandau]: ok good news! i got a job two days ago so i have my internet back and i'll be able to mail prizes!  anyone have any suggestions on when to end the voting? 

2006-10-28 [Perplexity]: Well, so far the winner is pretty much obvious lol but there are so few votes... that is completely up to you on how much longer to keep the poll open, dilandau. Some folks let polls go for 100 votes, some just a set length of time.
