2006-08-08 [Nocternity S.]: sounds good, too bad i dont know how to color my drawings on photoshop.. :(

2006-08-09 [Danboo]: cool i already have a idea, a photomanip.

2006-08-09 [Nocternity S.]: i dont think photomap. are allowed

2006-08-09 [iippo]: That's right, photomanipulations aren't allowed this time.

2006-08-09 [Danboo]: aww

2006-08-09 [Avatar15]: It has to be a drawing that applys to all the rules right? But does it have to be colored?

2006-08-09 [Ocean Soul]: Quoting from the rules: "(..)drawings must be well shaded and/or coloured (..)"

2006-08-09 [Avatar15]: Oh yeah. >< I must not have been thinking. I'm sorry.

2006-08-09 [Ocean Soul]: No problem :)

2006-08-10 [Avatar15]: :P I think I'll enter.

2006-08-10 [lady nytmare]: Forest huh? hmmmmmmm

2006-08-14 [Sunrose]: [Lady Chaos] aand [Kuehne], your entries have been removed, because they don't have the required minimum size :(

2006-08-14 [Lady Chaos]: Hmmm... that's strange, I made mine 1024 x 768 pixels... does ET resize large images when I upload them to my house?

2006-08-14 [Ocean Soul]: Yep. It downsizes them to max 500px width or 1000px height.

2006-08-14 [Lady Chaos]: Ohhh okay. So I need wiki privs, right? Can I... have them? Please? (you just ask, right?)

2006-08-14 [Sunrose]: Please send me a message with the request :)

2006-08-14 [Lady Chaos]: Sure... thanks! :)

2006-08-14 [~Lady Morgana~]: Very very pretty [Ocean Soul]! I am so amazed by yout talents!

2006-08-14 [Ocean Soul]: It would be better if I had more patience ;) But thank you anyway :)

2006-08-14 [~Lady Morgana~]: No it is really awesome! :O
Oh and you are very welcome!

2006-08-15 [Kuehne]: we'll try this again.

2006-08-15 [Ocean Soul]: I'm sorry [Kuehne], but your image is only 200x124px. It has to be at least 800x600px.

2006-08-15 [Kuehne]: I'm confused now.. isn't your's 200x150px?? I made mine smaller so that it would be comparible to your's. I'm so darn confused.

2006-08-15 [Ocean Soul]: Mine is 1024x768, you just have to click it.

2006-08-15 [Sue Falkenkralle]: Mine should be 1280x1024, I hope it fits the theme.

2006-08-15 [kittygirl1017]: oh, I want to see it! ^^

2006-08-15 [Ocean Soul]: [kittygirl1017] - your image was too small. It has to be at least 800x600 px and it was only 288x216 px :/

2006-08-15 [Kuehne]: did i get it that time *crossing fingers*

2006-08-15 [Sunrose]: [Kuehne]: If you upload the image to Elftown's photo- or drawingslot, it will be resized by Elftown automatically and become too small. You have to upload the image to a wiki. I gave you wiki[rivs and sent a message with instructions :)

2006-08-15 [Kuehne]: ok.. ty [Sunrose]

2006-08-15 [Kuehne]: umm.. did i do that right?

2006-08-15 [Sunrose]: Yea, only I thumbnailed it for you :)

2006-08-15 [Charybdis]: OS, what font did you use? It's really pretty! :D

2006-08-15 [kittygirl1017]: ok! i'm on it! ^^

2006-08-15 [kittygirl1017]: hmmmm. should I just img200 it?

2006-08-16 [~Lady Morgana~]: Oooh so many pretty new pictures! :D

2006-08-16 [Kuehne]: ok.. ty [Sunrose].. and yes many new pretty pics... i wonder if i stand a chance.

2006-08-16 [sequeena_rae]: Everyone stands a chance :P

2006-08-16 [Kuehne]: ok.. ty [Sunrose].. and yes many new pretty pics... i wonder if i stand a chance.

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: did I do it right?

2006-08-16 [~Lady Morgana~]: I think it is too small ...

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: when I pout it up as 800x600 It was way big than that other entries. Dose the drawing all have to be that same size?

2006-08-16 [~Lady Morgana~]: See the drawing has to be this big but what you do is, to thumbnail it on this wiki.
Upload it in the big way and see what the others did with the 300 tag.

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: ok! i'll see if i can do that.

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: it's still to big :(

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: how do you thumbnail it? ok <img300

2006-08-16 [sequeena_rae]: <img300:

2006-08-16 [~Lady Morgana~]: It is not to big the way it is now O.o

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: but don't I have to have it the same size as the others?

2006-08-16 [~Lady Morgana~]: It has to be 200 right? I fixed that for you kittygirl ^^

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: oh! sweet, ok thankyou! ^^

2006-08-16 [shotokan_gal]: It should still be at least 800 across, yours is smaller because elftown resizes the pics if you upload them to your drawing slot. You need to upload the image to the wiki (which you have the privs for).

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: ok, i uploaded it.. it's still to big. -_-

2006-08-16 [sequeena_rae]: There you are :)

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: :D thankyou!

2006-08-16 [sequeena_rae]: Welcome XP

2006-08-16 [Elegy - gone]: Very pretty flowers, kittygirl ^_^ what program did you use to draw them?

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: I used a little bit of photoshop and Microsoft paint to clor the flowers better. ^^

2006-08-16 [Elegy - gone]: What do you mean, colour them better?

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: I like to color my drawings in paint. ^^

2006-08-16 [Elegy - gone]: So you draw them in Photoshop and colour them in MS Paint? Huh, isn't that a bit bothersome? I mean, changing programme and all? If you made the drawing in Photoshop, why can't you colour it there as well?

2006-08-16 [iippo]: Or... draw by hand, then colour in paint, then touch up in PhotoShop?

2006-08-16 [kittygirl1017]: thats what I do!!! [iippo]

2006-08-17 [Elegy - gone]: Ah, that makes more sense ^_^

2006-08-17 [Cathos]: I draw and ink by hand, scan it, colour it with prismas, decide I don't like it, then colour the scan in photoshop. I always make a scan before I touch it with colour. Reduces the frustration level when a good line drawing turns into a dreadful picture.

2006-08-17 [Elegy - gone]: I'm horrible at inking by hand... I always manage to ink all the places that shouldn't be inked, and then I get angry over the lack of ctrl Z buttons =P

2006-08-17 [Cathos]: I find that hiding all the pencils helps when my inking gets bad. I spend the next few pictures drawing freehand in pen and when I go back to inking the original picture, my control has improved.

2006-08-17 [iippo]: I agree. Freehand ink is like therapy, because when you feff it, you can't do anything than go "damn, oh well" and continue.

2006-08-17 [Ocean Soul]: I fear [Kuehne]'s entry is still a tad too small.

2006-08-17 [Elegy - gone]: And wrongly proportioned =/

2006-08-17 [Ocean Soul]: That as well.

2006-08-18 [Kuehne]: Darn it all.. i can't get this right.

2006-08-18 [Ocean Soul]: Just make it 800x600 pixels. Or 1024x768.

2006-08-19 [Kuehne]: ok.. it now says 800x600.. am i in the good now?

2006-08-19 [Elegy - gone]: Yes, as far as I can see ^_^

2006-08-19 [Kuehne]: Praise the Lord!

2006-08-20 [Elegy - gone]: A valley, is that forest-y enough? *frowns*

2006-08-20 [Sue Falkenkralle]: It does look like a very forrest-y vally. I like it

2006-08-20 [Elegy - gone]: Yes, I like it as well, but I'm not sure it fits the theme =/ bah... not sure, though... you're right, it does look like a very forest-y valley, maybe that's good enough?

2006-08-20 [Sue Falkenkralle]: Hopefully it is enough. A lot of us didn't stick all too strictly to the theme. Artistic freedom I guess :)

2006-08-20 [iippo]: Everyone interprets "forest" their own way... It doesn't say it has to be inside a forest. It looks like a forest viewed from far to me.

2006-08-20 [Elegy - gone]: You're right, I'm just being silly, ignore me ^_^

2006-08-20 [Kuehne]: well.. i guess mine is more of a woods then a forest.. oh well

2006-08-20 [Elegy - gone]: Is there a difference? O.o

2006-08-21 [Kuehne]: *shrug*

2006-08-21 [iippo]: Wood: A dense growth of trees or underbrush covering a relatively small or confined area
Forest: A dense growth of trees, plants, and underbrush covering a large area
So sayeth dictionary.com xD
It's all fine. :3

2006-08-21 [Kuehne]: hmm.. well.. i guess you can't really see how large it is in my peice.. so, yeah.. it's a forest, sure.

2006-08-22 [kittygirl1017]: Wow nice drawing [Here today]!

2006-08-22 [Lady Chaos]: Yeah, I think [Here today]'s entry is awesome too... its peacefulness is perfect for a desktop wallpaper, maybe I should do another entry that is more peaceful...

2006-08-23 [XxTsomexX]: they are all good^^

2006-08-23 [Kuehne]: [Lady Chaos] , something "peaceful"... does anyone see the irony in that?

2006-08-23 [Sir. Robert]: If the trees look kind of wierd, just take a step back and they look normal...I was hoping for something that wasnt a tacky cut out christmas tree but detailed enough to look good and not keep you staring at your desktop for hours trying to figure it all out :S ...it may still need a tiny bit of detailing :)

2006-08-23 [deleteduser2]: Dunno how to place my drawing!!!!!

2006-08-23 [Kuehne]: go to "edit page".. then find where it is supposed to go. type <img:http:(whatever the pic URL is)> and that should post it for you.

2006-08-24 [Kuehne]: i see that didn't post right in the forum.. hmm... type "<img:http: (whatever the pic URL is)>"

2006-08-24 [Kuehne]: gee.. i can't type what you need to type.. lol

2006-08-24 [Elegy - gone]: <img:URL>

2006-08-24 [Kuehne]: hey!! how'd you do that? lol

2006-08-24 [iippo]: You write !uQt! in the code to make it not active.
