2006-10-02 [moira hawthorne]: thx u... it my dream house... field stone all natural colours... wrap around porch... and wood door.. the whole think sortta blends into the woods... the round window on the side would be my art studio... or bedroom
2006-10-02 [Lothuriel]: What is conte?
2006-10-02 [moira hawthorne]: http://en.wiki
these are the traditional tonel range...
but nowadays... you can get high quality conte in a thousand colours... I go nuts in an art store as I choose one colour after another and my over all cost starts climbing thru the ceiling.. but I love them... after acrylic paint they are my favourite colour tools... my lungs are likely techic coloured and my brain befuddled b/c of my constand use of spray fixative!
2006-10-02 [Lothuriel]: Oh, I will have to check them out. I am partial to water colors. They can be addictive.
2006-10-02 [spongemonkey]: Oh god, no kidding. >_> I probably spend 5-6 hours daily in my little corner with my watercolors. Its probably not healthy...
2006-10-04 [moira hawthorne]: [Thistlewood] its lovely! so quaint and cute!
2006-10-04 [Thistlewood]: Thank you! I love your little house too!
2006-10-04 [moira hawthorne]: they are simular...
2006-10-04 [Artsieladie]: Love your house, [Thistlewood]! Those trees look like the birch trees we have around my neck of the woods. ^___^
2006-10-04 [moira hawthorne]: [Lady Chaos] "Pond Lifestyle" hehehehe thats cool
2006-10-04 [EmeraldGrizzly]: OOOH! I really like LC's!
2006-10-04 [spongemonkey]: The pond ones roof is lovely! Good job!
2006-10-05 [spongemonkey]: P.S. Ocean souls is G-R-E-A-T. Like, seriously.
2006-10-05 [Ocean Soul]: Thanks :)
2006-10-05 [spongemonkey]: What'd you make it in?
2006-10-05 [Ocean Soul]: Photoshop. Some two hours, I think.
2006-10-05 [moira hawthorne]: coool
2006-10-05 [spongemonkey]: Woah. Faaaast. o_o
2006-10-05 [Lady Chaos]: Thanks for the compliments! :D I had to try my best for this, it has to be the most fun competition ET has ever had.
2006-10-05 [Dark Side of the Moon]: I think so too! Everyone has really cool ideas about the type of fantasy houses they live in.
2006-10-05 [H3_six]: Hmmm an Aussie shack complete with prison turret floating in a gigantic pool of blood. Kudos for creativity [Lady Chaos]. I love it.
2006-10-05 [Lakayana]: ooch! I 4got to put my house address. Anyway, It's house 133786 Elftown
2006-10-05 [Dark Side of the Moon]: Do we HAVE to put our house address? I didn't see it in the rules. Oo
2006-10-05 [Sunrose]: No, you don't :)
2006-10-05 [Dark Side of the Moon]: :^)
2006-10-05 [moira hawthorne]: be cool if everyone did tho... just as a extra makes it cool feature... like its not hard to add it
2006-10-05 [Ocean Soul]: Added a housenumber to mine.. it's actually a neat idea ^^
2006-10-05 [moira hawthorne]: ooooh you added it in your image! not your description! to add it on my house house! Id need to take another photo... hummm maybe tomorrow... hope the weather is nice! not that it would show... hummmmmmmmm ... not if it was on the door... b/c of the roof over hang...
2006-10-05 [Artsieladie]: Hmmm...house #? Sure, but I think I'll just add mine with my descript... :P
2006-10-05 [Ocean Soul]: I thought it'd look cool on the tree x) I almost added a mailbox along with it ^^
2006-10-05 [moira hawthorne]: a mushroom mail box! =D
2006-10-05 [Ocean Soul]: yes, something like that ^_^
2006-10-05 [moira hawthorne]: what about a squirrel mail(man)
2006-10-05 [Ocean Soul]: Probably a bit too cheesy ;)
2006-10-06 [moira hawthorne]: tooo cheeeesie! no it cant be...
2006-10-06 [Ocean Soul]: yes it can x) I already think that all the butterflies and glowing flies on my pic are too cheesy.. but I had to add them :3
2006-10-06 [spongemonkey]: They're not to cheesie!! They're cuuuute!! (squirrel guy might be pushin' it, though.)
2006-10-06 [H3_six]: Aw darn. I don't have access to the image anymore, well the number's in the description. ( :
2006-10-06 [spongemonkey]: That's okay yours is good enough, and where would'ja put the number?
2006-10-06 [H3_six]: hmm on the box I think. On the door, it's looking a bit plain.
2006-10-06 [spongemonkey]: Oooooh!! That would have been cool, like the serial number thingy in the rectangle? That would have been nifty.
2006-10-06 [H3_six]: There's a small chance I may be able to get that in before the deadline, but we'll have to wait and see.
2006-10-06 [spongemonkey]: :] I hope so. My number's in mine, but barely.
2006-10-06 [moira hawthorne]: I think you should... most cardboard boxs have printing on them...
2006-10-06 [H3_six]: Yeah you're right, I was wondering what was missing.
2006-10-06 [moira hawthorne]: its toooo clean and neat and straight edged...
2006-10-06 [Ocean Soul]: But even though it's too clean and neat and straight edged - I totally love the picture!
2006-10-06 [moira hawthorne]: oooh yes it is uber cool... *scratches head*
2006-10-06 [spongemonkey]: Yeah, it is pretty neat for a street box, but wouldn't it take a lotta effort to make it all crinkled and worn? Maybe I'm just Lazy...
2006-10-06 [H3_six]: Warning- vector and texture tool abuse. ( ;
On a different note, [Ocean Soul] changed her house! It looks even better than before.
2006-10-06 [moira hawthorne]: well the rest looks like it had alot effort put into it...
did you have the box on a separete layer still or did you flatten everything?
b/c you could edit traform warp distort skew.
face it if you are slepping in that it be bent and scuffed up...
2006-10-06 [H3_six]: I may sleep in a box but I still keep a clean house! 0.o
I only flatten it all right before saving as a Jpeg so I still have the original saved with all the layers and everything. Just on the other computer...
2006-10-06 [moira hawthorne]: never said that... but can you cwarl into a box.. sleep in it.. without bending the sides?
2006-10-06 [moira hawthorne]: and maybe your cat sharpens her nails on the side?
2006-10-06 [spongemonkey]: If your a yoga mater ya probably could...
2006-10-06 [H3_six]: Yep thats right. Full locust pose (look it up)
2006-10-06 [spongemonkey]: ...
The sad part is, I actually did.
2006-10-06 [Lothuriel]: Perhaps it is a fresh box, just thrown out! Even Elftown beggars can be choosey.
2006-10-06 [Ocean Soul]: Specially when living in a box you have to keep your home clean and save it from suffering damage as much as possible :3
2006-10-06 [H3_six]: Yessss. All the other people say it is impossible to keep a clean home when you live on the ground. But I say it isn't.
2006-10-06 [EmeraldGrizzly]: I can't wait to put in my entry, though I feel there are many other better choices here for the Poll TEN, I tried my best. Really, I made it just how I think it would look; b/w, a tall rectangular {long rather than tall} building reminsant of Gothic Architecture with a modern/industr
2006-10-07 [H3_six]: It sounds interesting [EmeraldGrizzly]. The best entries are always those that have had some thought put into them.
2006-10-07 [Perplexity]: Excellent, Mekashef - a mobile... albeit slowly...home =)
2006-10-07 [spongemonkey]: X3 I lurb the snaily!!
2006-10-07 [Mekashef]: Glad to hear the Mobile Dojo has fans! :D Perhaps I'll turn it into an attraction someday.
2006-10-07 [spongemonkey]: It'd be quite the attraction, you could make a killing with your big snaily!!
2006-10-07 [Mekashef]: Not to mention my unique martial arts teachings. I could reveal such powerful Ku secrets as the "lame crane kick" or the "crazed emu" punch.
2006-10-07 [spongemonkey]: *_* Such profound teachings.
2006-10-07 [Mekashef]: Oh yes. The mystical knowledge of aeons past is powerful indeed.
2006-10-07 [spongemonkey]: Teach me, oh great one!
2006-10-07 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Thanks H3 :)
2006-10-08 [FlowerGirl21]: Does it have to be colored with actual color or can it be black and white or the negative color of it...etc. etc. etc.?
2006-10-08 [Mekashef]: I think that a shaded sketch is fine; the point, in my interpretation of the rules (which may or may not be the correct one) is that a genuine technical effort has to be made, just so people don't send in their first draft on lined paper.
2006-10-08 [H3_six]: Yep nothing wrong with monochrome, if that's the medium you feel compelled to choose.
2006-10-08 [EmeraldGrizzly]: So, would a drawing on blank paper that isn't really shaded be ok? I put alot of effort into drawing it and i'm not good at shadeing, so I barely shaded. Could I still enter it?
2006-10-08 [Mekashef]: You should submit it. The worst that could happen is someone will take it down.
2006-10-08 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Alright, thanks :)
2006-10-08 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Oh wait, I shaded this entry! *laughs* I thought I was on the Halloween Art page XD Never mind, mine entry for this is b/w, but done shaded and detailed.
2006-10-09 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Even though it looks smooshed in 200-form I love it!
2006-10-09 [spongemonkey]: Its nice!! What do the symbols at the top mean?
2006-10-09 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Above the slanted window it says "Gojira" or in english Godzilla-somet
2006-10-09 [spongemonkey]: *_* Wooooooow. Thats...a lot.
2006-10-09 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Yeah, I really wanted to make the House apart of me, to show what I really think it'd be like. As well, the trees around it are Old Mighty Oaks, the hill-side it's built into is pure Onyx with a path cut out of it to the top so I can sit and watch the stars, moon, or see the sun rise/set. If I had to say where my house in Elftown would be, it's be inbetween the center and the outskirts, right on the edge of a lush forest, with a snow capped mountain less than a mile behind it. When you close, behind the right front bush you see my pet Rawwren, given by [Akayume], and in the trees to the left, my large white horse-with wings, Fledge. For a size comparison, the door itself (not counting edge) is 8 feet tall. Truly I love this house.
2006-10-09 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Sorry, got a better quality version, putting it in instead.
2006-10-09 [H3_six]: Loving all the new entries.
2006-10-09 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Yeah, the contest is fierce, I like 'em all.
2006-10-09 [H3_six]: I just updated my pic. I think it looks a bit better than before.
2006-10-09 [moira hawthorne]: you got your house number now
2006-10-09 [spongemonkey]: Oohhh, contest end tomorrow!! :] The anticipations killing me! *bounce*
2006-10-09 [EmeraldGrizzly]: *bounces too*
2006-10-09 [spongemonkey]: and also, Cathos's is pretty spiffy, if you ask me.
2006-10-10 [H3_six]: *agrees with spongemonkey*
Then see's [TheWolfKnight]'s house. OOOH now that, is spiffy. *squeals*
What's it made of wolfknight?
2006-10-10 [spongemonkey]: *_* So detailed. *dies*
2006-10-10 [EmeraldGrizzly]: *impressed by detail, claps* Reminds me of those castles you buy from Scholastic and punch out of a 90 page book, then bend and put togeather *no offense, actually a complement*
2006-10-10 [EmeraldGrizzly]: *Looks up and wishes spongemonkey was my next door neighbor*
2006-10-10 [Lakayana]: I wonder who is my next door neighbour... ooch let me check that out
2006-10-10 [Cathos]: *bounces [spongemonkey] and [H3_six]* My first picture done just on the computer. :) I think I still prefer my prismas. *waits for the deadline*
2006-10-10 [TheWolfKnight]: Well its made out of polygons. Modeled in Lightwave in three "stages" (foreground, middle and back) and put togeather and severely tweaked in photoshop. Fantastic images in this contest; from the very creative to the just plain lovely. I never vote for my own stuff so this is gonna be hard...
2006-10-10 [TheWolfKnight]: <nods at Cathos> yea, I agree. I mostly use the computer for my artwork, but I do a lot of sketching and drawing, and there are times when I just lust for the feeling of graphite scratching paper. And prismas rule... its been ages since I pulled mine out. Maybe next time...
2006-10-10 [H3_six]: Lightwave huh. Cool. It looks real, I thought it was a sculpture.
2006-10-10 [Dark Side of the Moon]: PrismaColors rule! That's what I used to draw mine. Great work again [TheWolfKnight]!
2006-10-10 [EmeraldGrizzly]: I agree with you Wolfknight, except that lust for graphite is constantly there. I was in a Vocational School the last 2 years of High School, and I worked in CADD, so I got to use programs like Viz 3D, Adobe Photoshop 7.0, Autodesk Programs, I made so many amazing things... but nothing compared to what I could do with my own two hands, a blank piece of paper, and a simple Pencil; at least in my opinion. Good luck to all, this competition is quite stunning.
2006-10-10 [Perplexity]: I'm loving that house, [5thwitch]!
2006-10-10 [spongemonkey]: Oooohh, me too. :] I like the pink pink pinkness!
2006-10-10 [moira hawthorne]: I like the view... thru the trees...
2006-10-10 [5thwitch]: Thanks! I'm not a pink lover, but here where I live, early spring has this colour in the sunset. so I got inspiration...
2006-10-10 [spongemonkey]: Well it works, like Moira said, 'specially with the trees.
2006-10-10 [5thwitch]: oh, and you're all invited for my tea&cakes time! at 5 obviously.
2006-10-10 [spongemonkey]: :D Hurray!!!
2006-10-10 [moira hawthorne]: cooooool... I like cookiees....
2006-10-10 [5thwitch]: oh, through the trees! it's because it's attila who took the photo! (attila it's my cat, the one in the violet paw who welcomes you on cat hug)
my ET house is always full of sweets, because I'm a sugars-based form of life.
2006-10-10 [Perplexity]: Well, in that case, I'll be over often! =9
2006-10-10 [5thwitch]: ;D *preparing hot chocolate in gianduja style*
2006-10-10 [moira hawthorne]: oooooooooooooo
2006-10-10 [spongemonkey]: Who cares?!? Hot chocolate is hot chocolate, its aaalways good. :]
2006-10-10 [moira hawthorne]: yeeeeeeeeeeess
2006-10-11 [H3_six]: Contest Closed! That's all folks. Some very good entries I think and [5thwitch]. I like yours, like an italian villa but a tree and pink.
2006-10-11 [Dark Side of the Moon]: So am I! What is gianduja style hot chocolate?! Sounds exotic.
2006-10-11 [moira hawthorne]: there are some awesome art in here!!!
2006-10-11 [SeLoCeS]: man i missed it oh well good luck to those who got their art in <(^v^)>
2006-10-11 [Mekashef]: I want to hire the Dread Lich [TheWolfKnight] fought as interior decorator. Looks like the undead have flair!
2006-10-11 [spongemonkey]: Excited!! :D
2006-10-11 [TheWolfKnight]: Um, this is embarassing [Mekashef] but I sorta...uh...s
2006-10-11 [moira hawthorne]: Paladin rule that all unclaimed Liches are to be smitten... hehehehehe and not on chairs! hehehehe
2006-10-11 [5thwitch]: have you ever heard about "nutella"?
2006-10-11 [moira hawthorne]: yes... i have.
2006-10-11 [spongemonkey]: nutella = the BEST!!!
2006-10-11 [5thwitch]: ok, the region in whitch i Live is famous for a quality of hazelnut called "nocciola piemonte" (piedmont hazelnut). with these, you can make a delicious paste and adding cocoa you get Gianduja chocolate.the original form in whitch this chocolate was sold is called Gianduiotto(http://pds.exb
2006-10-11 [moira hawthorne]: cooooooool! and than add hot milk to the Gianduja?
would you like to join.. All Hail Goddess Caffeinea!!!
for all things caffeine!
2006-10-11 [spongemonkey]: eh, as long as we're plugging, something relevent: choloate lovers united. ^^ sorta along the same lines as caffine!
2006-10-11 [moira hawthorne]: chocolate is a caffeine food ... chocolate lovers united
2006-10-11 [spongemonkey]: exactly!
2006-10-11 [Dark Side of the Moon]: Coffee 101? *looks embarrassed* I mean...you know...since everyone else is doing it... *wry grin* :P
2006-10-11 [Lothuriel]: Please! No spamming in an official contest. =0]
2006-10-11 [Mekashef]: That's a real pity about the Lich; one can raise the dead, but raising the razed undead from undead razedness? Hmm... That's necromancy to a whole new level. It will require much mystical (& grammatical) study.
2006-10-11 [Dark Side of the Moon]: Oh I knew it! >:/ I knew once I put mine up here we'd all get busted. Sorry folks. I'll just go home now. Oo
2006-10-11 [Lothuriel]: LOL...
2006-10-12 [spongemonkey]: Woah, this Lich thing is messin' with mah head. o_0
2006-10-12 [moira hawthorne]: a party of adventures are walkin down a corridor.... they turn a corner to see a Lich king... they turn around and 3 hellhounds are on their trail. the priest turns to the palendin... 'well if it isnt one damn thing its another!'
2006-10-12 [spongemonkey]: XD *laughing*
2006-10-14 [H3_six]: Hey [kittygirl1017] could you put the bigger version on your house. It's kinda hard to make out the details on yours.
2006-10-14 [Elegy - gone]: Too late, the contest is closed and the page can't be edited.
2006-10-14 [H3_six]: It must be uploaded to her house though so it could be displayed there. Anyhow, to be quite honest the reason I ask is because on that small scale, to me it looks like it could be a photo manip. Although I'm not sure, so I didn't want to say anything...
2006-10-15 [kittygirl1017]: Sure I'll try too! It's not. I painted it and changed a couple of things. I dose look like one. I know -_-' But it's not. I use "Smart blur" and things like that to make it look like a computer image. But I guess I'm bad at it. -_-'
2006-10-15 [moira hawthorne]: if you paint than use the photoshop filter effects.. it can look the same as if you took a photo and used the same filters.. Ive done it before... I like mixing different effect filters... you can get really cool textures that way...
2006-10-15 [Lothuriel]: I think you did an excellent job
2006-10-15 [spongemonkey]: Wow, like traditional paints? 'Cause if so, good job. o__0
2006-10-15 [kittygirl1017]: ^^ Thankyou [Lothuriel] and [spongemonkey] :D
With water colors and things like that. ^^
2006-10-15 [EmeraldGrizzly]: I jus' want to say good luck to everyone.
2006-10-16 [Mekashef]: Indeed, good luck to all. I'd invite everyone to a post-competiti
2006-10-16 [moira hawthorne]: snail trail! lol! shouldnt be hard to track!
2006-10-16 [EmeraldGrizzly]: *offers to help track down*
2006-10-16 [Mekashef]: The problem with giant snails is that their slime is delicious, & attracts many dangerous magical beasts, like the Nephelocentaur
2006-10-16 [EmeraldGrizzly]: *Follows slime after listening*
2006-10-16 [moira hawthorne]: *slipps and falls in a particularly thick and slimey part*
2006-10-16 [spongemonkey]: SLIME!!! *jumps in the slime*
2006-10-16 [moira hawthorne]: SLIME WRESTLING!!!
2006-10-16 [spongemonkey]: YES!!
2006-10-16 [moira hawthorne]: *spoink*
2006-10-16 [spongemonkey]: *squash*
2006-10-17 [Mekashef]: Oh dear... oh dear... ooooh deeaar...
2006-10-17 [spongemonkey]: Good news, Mekashef! Your house is more fun than any of us could have ever imagined!
2006-10-17 [Lothuriel]: *starts spraying goo gone and mumbling about offical wikis and chitter chatter...some
2006-10-17 [Mekashef]: Hey, my snail is not stupid. She can recite all of the Iliad in the original Greek. She started a year ago & she is now on the third line.
2006-10-17 [Lothuriel]: Didn't say she was stupid...well, not exactly stupid, stupid just well you know...gah, nevermind!!!..
2006-10-17 [Mekashef]: Thanks! I think there are many good entries. I am really impressed, actually. Maybe I'll move to a new neighborhood every week to visit all those awesome houses. I may have to install propellers on the dojo.
2006-10-30 [Dark Side of the Moon]: *muses to self* Are they going to have voting on this soon? *wonders*
2006-10-30 [spongemonkey]: Jesus, I hope so, its been closed for nearly a month now with no news. -.-;;
2006-10-30 [Sunrose]: It will be announced after Halloween :)
2006-10-30 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Cool, thanks Sunrose. I'm finished watching this page, good luck to all win or lose, you all did grand.
2006-10-31 [kittygirl1017]: yes! Good luck all of you! ^^
2006-11-01 [H3_six]: Yes, best of luck to you all. I must say I am completely impressed with what everyone has come up with. Give yourselves a pat on the back.
2006-11-01 [spongemonkey]: *pat pat pat* :] You too, six, your picture is pretty fantastic too.
2006-11-15 [Sunrose]: I was going to announce the winner of this contest, when I realised we were supposed to have a Mainstreet poll about it first. So please cast your vote in the poll! :)
2006-11-16 [Mekashef]: Yay! Voting time.
Disclaimer: the winner may find a giant snail parked on his/her front yard.
2006-11-16 [moira hawthorne]: my slugs challenge your snail in a slime war...
2006-11-16 [Mekashef]: Oh no!I guess it was bound to happen...
Good thing I always carry a bag full of ashes & broken egg shells. & a salt shaker! Avaunt! Avaunt!
2006-11-16 [moira hawthorne]: Ive taken the precaution of training my slugs to wear condomes...
2006-11-16 [Mekashef]: Whaaat?! Eeewwww...
2006-11-16 [Yuriona]: Poor little slugs, trapped in a latex prison. *sniffs and sets out plates of beer for the slugs*
2006-11-16 [Mekashef]: The People for the Ethical Treatment of Invertebrates are going to hear about this!
2006-11-16 [moira hawthorne]: its for their own good! you were gonna salt them! and thx u very much but all my slugs are recovering alcoholics... the bastard children a crack whore slugs.. and are drug free for trainin!
2006-11-17 [kittygirl1017]: omg.... what are you guys talking about?!
2006-11-17 [moira hawthorne]: snail slug dueling
2006-11-17 [Yuriona]: Yeah, recovering alcoholic crack whore slugs no less. *rolls eyes*
2006-11-17 [moira hawthorne]: nonono... their mothers were crack whore.. not really they fault they were teen run aways... these slugs are they children and therefore were the innocent victims.. tho they lead rough lifes before they were enroled in the slug reabilatation program for Under Privaged Invertebrates
2006-11-17 [Mekashef]: Oooohkay... *slowly backs away*
& people say I'm weird...
2006-11-17 [moira hawthorne]: hahahahahahaha
2006-11-17 [Mekashef]: I shall readily concede that: I had never heard of any Elftowner commanding a legion of rubber-wearing gasteropods.
2006-11-17 [moira hawthorne]: I should draw that! hehehehe
2006-11-17 [Mekashef]: Hey, the Fantasy Portrait Contest is on. :P
2006-11-20 [H3_six]: Congratulation
2006-11-20 [Artsieladie]: Thanks! I still can't believe it, though. *pinches self* There were so many great entries! I don't believe there's one here that I didn't like. A big thank you & huggles to all that voted for mine, including those that voted for it to be in the poll to begin with. :D
2006-11-20 [moira hawthorne]: WAIS HAIL! *huggles*
2006-11-24 [Lakayana]: hip! hip!! hip!!! to [Ocean Soul] and [artsie_ladie]
2006-11-24 [Artsieladie]: Thanks! :D I just noticed this in my house >>> "Simple URL:" & the "Use emotions" button on the wikis! O..O
2006-11-24 [H3_six]: Yes I likes em. They're good when it's 2AM and you can't remember lots of words and stuff.
