2006-08-09 [Perplexity]: You do know there are six more days left, Rogue. Make the rest of us feel bad, why don't ya? lol I've been saying "I should start drawing" for the past three hours. =B So far Evil and I have taken turns playing the Dead Rising demo on Xbox360... so productive!

2006-08-09 [Evilmonk]: But I'm drawing in my mind...

2006-08-10 [Elisha Kelly]: I still havbe no Idea what to draw... eek!

2006-08-10 [stuffAEAmade]: My concept is all planned out, but I drew something to practice CGing instead. >.>

2006-08-10 [Cia_mar]: mine will be done soon too! i hope to finish it today!

2006-08-10 [iippo]: Mine's also coming along... And every moment I'm not drawing it, I'm thinking "damnit, I should be drawing X_x"

Hey, Could the themes also be posted here, so we can see who is doing what on the same page?

2006-08-10 [Cia_mar]: good idea.. i was just thinking that same thing

2006-08-10 [Perplexity]: There ya go ^_^ Good suggestion!

2006-08-10 [Cia_mar]: lol.. thanks for putting it up there... much better!

2006-08-10 [Perplexity]: You're welcome =)

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: if we post en entry but then do something better or just fix something that was bugging us about the one we posted... can we change the entry as long as it is before the deadline? or are we stuck with whatever we have posted first?

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: You have until August 15th, so you could just hold onto it until you are certain you won't do another one in the meantime. But I understand being eager to share, so I will ask Evil.

2006-08-11 [iippo]: So hard to decide who to bet on without the pictures... I'll just play it safe and bet on myself, after all I'm obviously going to win *glances towards the judge* :P

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: Well, you just gotta bet based on what you know of the artist, what the category is, if it plays to their strength or weakness, etc. I already got my bets in. =9

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: yeah i have my bets in too! all i did was fo to house to house and see whart art they had.. looked at what the theme was for that pair of artists and betted based on what i saw... i could have been wrong, but that is ok... as people add their art, i may up the bets i have placed...lol

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: I think it's more exciting to bet before the pics are in.

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: true but it is still  nice to be able to up a bet later! lol

2006-08-11 [iippo]: Ahh, in that case it's not as much betting about the winning image but more like... how well the artists do... Kind of like in horse races, you have to bet before they start running, and not see half way the race and say "yeap, that one will win". :D

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: Exactly!

2006-08-11 [Yuriona]: BET DAMN YOU! *shakes fist at everyone* LMAO!

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: ooo  i am almost finished with mine!... *gets more butterflies in tummy* *wonders nervously what [Mom]s pic looks like*

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: [Cia_mar], Evil said you can post whatever you have now, and change it if you want before the deadline. However, our thinking is you wouldn't want to show what you have up your sleeve early, and to hold submissions to the last minute might give one an advantage. But, there is no rule saying you can't post it and then change it!

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: yeah i know.. i hope to hold out for the suspence... though i am terrible card player and usuallt "tip my hand"... i will have to be more patient!!!

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: I have to admit, I am awfully curious to see what everyone's working on! But, that is the good thing about each round lasting 1 week - we won't have to wait long.

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: :D

2006-08-11 [Cia_mar]: i think i am finished... wheeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!... but i will wait till it is closer to the close of the deadline... *wicked grin* don't wanna scare the competition!

2006-08-11 [Perplexity]: Ooooo, smack talkin! I like it! =9

2006-08-11 [moira hawthorne]: *waiting for Mom's return*

2006-08-12 [Yuriona]: *stares* Dude... that's deep. Well done. *applauds Evil*

2006-08-12 [Evilmonk]: Thanks. I'm hoping imagination can work where execution has eluded me. lol
I'm really happy with it and very proud of it. But win lose or draw (there are no draws, it's just a saying!lol) I've got to get going on the HH thing for Sept. and then I'm gonna do some Ninja turtle stuff, open the HH Cafe' Press thing, and finish plotting my very own Crow Graphic Novel. Lots to do. I put everything I had into this one and I love it, so if Deeterhi can top it, more power to her!

2006-08-12 [Perplexity]: "Execution has eluded" - oh shaddup! *grumbles* It pains me to see how fast you work, producing something so awesome. I guess I better get back to drawing. =S

2006-08-12 [Yuriona]: Such a prima donna... *shakes head* Give him a smack for me ok Plex? Sheesh... takes me over a week to get anything to look half that decent. *grumbles too*

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: when Does mom return? anybody know?

2006-08-12 [Perplexity]: I smack him every day, but I'll throw in an extra one for you, Yuri!

I have no idea when [Mom] returns... but it better be before the 15th! =B

2006-08-12 [Yuriona]: Whoohoo!! I'm all about beatin' the husband you know. *winks at Plex*

I dunno when Mom gets back either. I thought she had just gotten back from one trip already.

2006-08-12 [Evilmonk]: Hey now...don't make me hafta slap you chicks around. ...I could do it you know....I just...didn't wanna have to hurt anyone.

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: lol....the 15th is tuesday?.. so do we have to have our entried in by the end of tuesday or by the morning of tuesday?

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: well i think just in case i am unable to get online before deadline... i will post now...

2006-08-12 [Yuriona]: Bring it ON! *beckons to Evil* I've been married longer than you big boy. Muahahahaa! XD

Nice entry Cia! Very cool! :)

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: thank you yuri!!!! hmmm how long have they been married... i have 10 years!

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: hey yuri can we bet on which team gets all their entries in first?

2006-08-12 [Yuriona]: *blinks* You know, I never thought of that. That's a good idea!

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: thanks!...glad to help!

2006-08-12 [iippo]: I'm in :3
Meh, stupid camera. I'll do a Photoshop-fixed version to make it look more like what it does in reality, and if it's not approvable, that one can stay up.
One day I will afford a scanner, ffs -_-;

2006-08-12 [Yuriona]: OMG! That's awesome iippoo! *falls over laughing*

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: cool entry!

2006-08-12 [iippo]: I hear that the "sporty evil overlord" -style will come out shortly, ask your nearest retailer :P

2006-08-12 [Yuriona]: *giggles* I wondered if that was athletic wear.

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: lol...

2006-08-12 [Perplexity]: Great entries, Cia and iippo! Those of us who have yet to post our entries will have to kick it into high gear now. Competition is as fierce as I expected!

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: yep!!! GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-08-12 [Rennie]: BOOOOYA! hooooray ninjas!

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: nice...

2006-08-12 [iippo]: It seems that I have the softest pencils (or my camera makes really dark pictures) x)

Sidenote, I'm going away until wednesday... you know, to make the victoiré that much sweeter when I receive my place on the second round after a long exile :P :P So now's the time to bet on your favourite horse iippo, and I'll see you all winners on wednesday XP

2006-08-12 [Perplexity]: Really nice work, Erin! A background and everything - sheesh, go the extra mile why don't you? =09

2006-08-12 [Duredhel]: XD something tells me Perplexity and I are thinking the same thing. Wait till the other guy puts his drawing up, and then go back and work on yours as much as possible before the deadline

2006-08-12 [Perplexity]: I'm not showing my hand until the last possible minute *poker face* lol
Holy %*(& DarkKlaw, that is hilarious!!! LMAO Does she drink prune juice to activate her special powers? heheh

2006-08-12 [Cia_mar]: i would have loved to wait... but... considering that i never know if i will be on line or not mondays and tuesdays.. i figured i best get it up now.... very nice one there Darkklaw...lol

2006-08-12 [Rennie]: LOL @ Plexy...I had to do something to assure my victory...;) Backgrounds certainly aren't my forte, nor are dynamic lights/darks...but hey, Monk wanted the best of the best...that's what he'll get!!!

2006-08-12 [Perplexity]: Evil and I are both super pleased with how hard everyone is pushing themselves in this contest so far - I hope competition only gets fiercer as the tournament progresses!

2006-08-12 [stuffAEAmade]: I don't know what her powers are. Might involve beating on hooligans, though. =/

2006-08-12 [Duredhel]: With a purse!

2006-08-12 [moira hawthorne]: her super hero byline should be.. 'make tea not love'

2006-08-12 [Urmando The Elfling]: Still staying in the dark.... like a ninja....hehehehehe...

2006-08-12 [Mom]: *Faints*

2006-08-12 [Elisha Kelly]: GAH!!!! *starts pulling hair out* nothing I draw is working out! GAHHHHHH!

2006-08-12 [Mom]: It's almost 8pm Saturday night and I haven't even started yet. Boy I'm in trouble.

2006-08-13 [Perplexity]: Three more days to work some magic, you two!

2006-08-13 [Elisha Kelly]: Double GAH!!!! I knows what I wish to be drawing... but I can't be drawing it... darn this acursed peg leg...  ARRRRRRG!!!!

2006-08-13 [moira hawthorne]: try drawing with your hand...

2006-08-13 [Perplexity]: Blue team pulls ahead by one entry! 

2006-08-13 [Elisha Kelly]: know you' all hate to hear it... but... GAH!

2006-08-13 [Mom]: Great pic [Elisha Kelly]....Blue and Red tied again on entries.

2006-08-13 [Elisha Kelly]: Half great... half shitting me to tears... ARG! I have been working on trying to draw that stupid thing for hours!!!!! but it's after midnight... I am really tired... and I really couldn't be bothered to start all over again (done that 3 times already >.<!) so I do think it's good enough to enter... but I am just really frustrated at the moment!

2006-08-13 [Evilmonk]: But no opponents. Hmmm. I really hope the rest of you are just waiting till the last day before tipping your hand. No forfits people, put anything up but don't GIVE up!

2006-08-13 [Elisha Kelly]: and we are all mostly righties XD...

2006-08-13 [Mom]: I know what and how I want it to look....I have it all planned out. It's just sitting down and doing it.I have to run angain today with Sarah for school. (She has one of the leads in her school play (Gertrude from Suessical) and they are having rehearsals today. Yes I know it's Sunday but they have their first performance on the 31st..=\ I will get it done...so will she.

2006-08-13 [Perplexity]: I dunno what you're frustrated about, Ely. I think you've conveyed the category really well. I see exactly what you are going for with the pic. Maybe you would feel better if you could color it since you usually take your art to completion like that?
Come on, Duredhel - I wanna see what you got! =9

2006-08-13 [Perplexity]: Wow, deeterhi was really productive this week! Nice entry and our first pair of competitors to have artwork in! =D

2006-08-13 [deeterhi]: i was hoping to have it in sooner but i got struck with a cold. (i think there's some voodoo at play)

2006-08-13 [Evilmonk]: *hides doll* wha? No voodoo? That isn't prohibited in the rules! *pulls out doll and begins to burn it with lighter*

2006-08-13 [Mom]: Whoa!The first pair done...I can't wait for the rest. Wait a minute...I am the rest. *goes back to drawing*

2006-08-13 [Evilmonk]: Two awesome pics at that. See, that is why I didn't want to be a judge. I am proud of my pic, but Deeterhi has done an awesome job as well. Tough choices ahead! =)

2006-08-13 [Evilmonk]: As a little extra motivation, and to allow others to enter future events, I have added a rule. Those who forfit by not finishing work on time, will be banned from entering the following tourney. I think it is a fair call. Whats to say that if you enter the next month tourney that you will turn work in then either. This way we can give a space to new folks who want to compete. It shouldn't be taken as a insult either. It isn't. It's just a way of free-ing up some space for the others who want in, and I know we might have some DQ's here and there. It's meant to teach you not to give up. Even your worst work could still win if your opponent doesn't enter. The ban would only last a month and would be lifted for the tourney afterwards. Just because you may get a ban doesn't mean you're a bad person and we don't like you. As I said, its about motivation and making room.

2006-08-13 [Urmando The Elfling]: In one..maybe two hours, my "killer" entry will follow....

2006-08-13 [Mom]: *Watches the clock*

2006-08-13 [Duredhel]: Mine's done XD but I don't own a scanner here (I have one back home :P but that's Peru). So I'll go by the college on monday to scan XD

2006-08-13 [Cia_mar]: urmando, you are late!

2006-08-13 [Urmando The Elfling]: I know, I'm late, the perfectionist in me is still not satisfied.....

2006-08-13 [Lothuriel]: These entries are awesome!!

2006-08-13 [Elisha Kelly]: RAWR! great entry [deeterhi] :D and my frustration comes at not getting the swirls right.... darn ghostly substances :P but I am really happy how my dead hero turned out :D... drawing is my weakest link I am afraid :}

2006-08-13 [Urmando The Elfling]: DONE...! I'm out of the Shadow....

2006-08-13 [Elisha Kelly]: OOOOOOH! nice.... another hard one to pick :}

2006-08-13 [Channy]: Nice Urmi >3 I'll hopefully have mine done tonight @.@

2006-08-13 [Urmando The Elfling]: Thanx Channy, just put your heart in it, Go girl!

2006-08-13 [Yuriona]: Awesome entries everyone! *applauds*

2006-08-14 [Perplexity]: Awesome ninjas! (When are ninjas NOT awesome? lol). Boy the competition is so tough! Can't wait to see what I'm up against =S

2006-08-14 [Perplexity]: Hey Gav. do you have a larger size image? I wanna see it closer!

2006-08-14 [Perplexity]: Oh crap - is the RED TEAM gonna beat us getting all entries in!?!?? NO WAY!!! C'MON BLUE TEAM! KICK IT INTO HIGH GEAR!!!

2006-08-14 [Cia_mar]: WHERE ARE ALL THE BLUE TEAM MEMBERS!?!?!?!?! they better not forfeit!

2006-08-14 [Perplexity]: Ok, I snagged a slightly larger versoin from [Gav.]'s house =) now we can clic to make bigger!

2006-08-14 [Gav.]: Ack! Will have to learn the whole resize thingy!

2006-08-14 [Cia_mar]: one more day!!! *sigh* the suspence is killing me!

2006-08-14 [Urmando The Elfling]: Yep, It's bed time for me, so tomorrow morning (Dutch Time) I hope to see all the last missing entries, and Who will go to the next round.......

2006-08-14 [Cia_mar]: ok.. it says that the last author is [Mom] but i do not see anything... am i having PC probs? or is her entry for a new movie about unseen things?

2006-08-14 [Calico Tiger]: If you click the "view diff" button in the wiki page data box, it shows you what was added, deleted, changed, etc... :D
