2008-01-02 [Merlin Mab]: You wish  to  race??

2008-01-03 [sequeena_rae]: Wow, [nehirwen] that's really nice :)

2008-01-03 [nehirwen]: ^^ thank you!

2008-01-03 [Jitter]: I agree O_O amazing work! :D

2008-01-03 [nehirwen]: thanks

2008-01-03 [Artsieladie]: Me, three! I agree! :)

2008-01-04 [Steve*O]: This is gonna be sweeeeeeeeetttt!!!!

2008-01-04 [Dark Side of the Moon]: oh, this looks so cute! I wish I could enter something but I'm bogged down with other artwork at the moment. ho-hum...

2008-01-05 [Hedda]: I'll blame [Jitter] if things are slow around here....

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: Maybe she should use her wings, instead of her snail in that case ;)

2008-01-05 [Jitter]: Pffff snail riders are as fast as they want to be :p Read The Neverending story :P

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: But that was a racing snail! so is yours?

2008-01-05 [Jitter]: it was not a racing snail! It was a snail mount :P

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: in the dutch translation it's a racing snail I believe... O.o
lol.

2008-01-05 [Jitter]: Weird, in the greek one it just says the tiny man was riding a rosy snail :s

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: at the and of The Neverending Story Script Page 2 of 6 it says:

Rockbiter:
We, we can't wait for a snail. Can I carry you?
Tiny:
Don't worry, it's a racing snail.
Rockbiter:
Oh, but we can't even wait for a racing snail.
The little man goes peddling off on the snail. Nighthob finally wakes up his bat and climbs on as
Rockbiter:
It really is a racing snail.

2008-01-05 [Linderel]: Queen of Infernally Adorable strikes again!

2008-01-05 [Triola]: Thank you, thank you :D

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: I totally love your 'Aeropond' [Triola]! :D

2008-01-05 [Triola]: Hehe, thanks :3 your elecorn is awesome too! :D

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: :) thank you

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: isn't your entry actually be considered 'flying?' [Triola]?
(see the 'Theme and deadline; What will we be expecting' on the main page for the nature of my question)

2008-01-05 [Triola]: They mean flying as in having wings, not as a means of transport :) At least that is how I understand it.

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: oh! alright , it would be such a pity if your entry would be disqualified! O.o

2008-01-06 [Jitter]: at the and of The Neverending Story Script Page 2 of 6 it says[...]

Errr. That film bitchered the book in many ways. Mentioning that it was a racing snail was one :P

Anyway the Tiny man did arrive first in the Childlike Empress' castle :p

2008-01-06 [nehirwen]: :o they lied! >.< well, alright we found the source of our confusion ;) stupid directors..

I'm glad [Triola]s entry is alright, I love it ^^ (but I alreay said that x)

2008-01-06 [Linderel]: Of course you love it. Trin is the Queen of the Infernally Adorable. ;)

2008-01-06 [nehirwen]: :p

2008-01-06 [Artsieladie]: With wings...but a Pegasus is alright, the way I understand it. I hope so, b/c I'm working on a Pegasus with an elf, since I'm an elf. :P)

2008-01-06 [Linderel]: Yea. You can travel on the back of a creature that has wings, you just can't be the one actually flying yourself.

2008-01-06 [nehirwen]: :O I totally got that different xD lol! *punches self on the head*

2008-01-07 [Killopkie]: What about crawling? Should he just draw himself crawling? Maybe the ground?

2008-01-07 [Killopkie]: Ah, nevermind, he should simply read the theme and rules first.

2008-01-07 [Lite]: What about having mechanical wings or of the sort?

2008-01-09 [Hedda]: Another snail! I'm so going to cancel all Elftown's transport contract and order that teleport-system from Mages R' Us, instead.

And that flying dragon public transport system is going to be pretty nice as soon as they get that sulphor stench problem solved. The passenger eating problem is hugely exaggerated, so I'm not worried about that.

The elves kind of supports the more environment friendly ropes in a line that people can swing themselves forward. I doubt that works well with people carrying their usual load of weapons and other stuff.

2008-01-11 [Harms_Way]: Could I put a ship in there?

2008-01-11 [Jitter]: [Lite] I don't really know about mechanical wings to be honest... Truth is a roflcopter (xD) would be allowed If you enter mechanical wings it should be very very obvious that they're a removable item, crafted by some engineer :)

2008-01-11 [Artsieladie]: Yeah, you gotta' watch a Dwarf, too! Not Elves, though! They don't need watching.  Hmmm....how come some of the 'times' aren't showing up here, like with: [Harms_Way]'s, [Killopkie]'s, & [Hedda]'s last comments? The time is showing up with mine, though --> 11:26:05 Must be those tricky gnomes & goblins!

2008-01-11 [Linderel]: Artsie, that would be because those were Jitter's replies to them. :P

2008-01-11 [Artsieladie]: Oh, dah! You can tell I haven't had any sleep! >..<

2008-01-11 [Jitter]: Lol I was wondering what you meant xD

2008-01-14 [Artsieladie]: When you've had about 20 hours of sleep in a whole week, one has a tendency to make mistakes... :PP

2008-01-14 [nehirwen]: that's why I keep telling you to get some sleep ;)

2008-01-15 [Artsieladie]: Hey, I managed to get 5! But...3 more hours & it'll be another 24 hour stretch.

2008-01-17 [Lite]: I'll definately be entering something sci-fi for this(if I make it before the deadline). Just gotta decide whether I feature a guy or a girl in the pic...

2008-01-19 [Linderel]: [Cloudwatcher]: Whether or not we approve of your second entry, you should submit it as a separate one. :P

2008-01-19 [Cloudwatcher]: i dunno what you mean >_> but ima guess and do what i think lol

2008-01-19 [Linderel]: Submit it as entry #6, not as #4b.

2008-01-20 [Jitter]: From the rules wiki:
-Please try not to use normal means like Real Life cars, carriages and non fantasy horses (pegasi and unicorns are ok though!)

Well to be honest the motorbike *is* a usual mean but it can get away with being the size suitable for a bug.... I think :)

2008-01-20 [Triola]: Please try = you can if you want, but you won't win :P

2008-01-20 [Jitter]: Indeed! :p

2008-01-20 [Cloudwatcher]: yeah i didnt actualy draw that with the contest in mind but i figured hey...why not? its actualy thumbnails of a larger picture i have to draw lol ^_^

the little bug walking then i assume dosent count as well hahaha

2008-01-23 [Lite]: This motorbike okay?

2008-02-02 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: [Cloudwatcher], your bugz image has already been entered in another contest. If you read the rules you'll see that all images are supposed to be exclusive to this contest. .. repeats aren't very creative. Just thought I'd let you know. :)

2008-02-03 [Cloudwatcher]: yeah i enterd it in the other one after this, ill just take it down here since it applies to the other contest more :P

2008-02-04 [Lite]: If not much more entries come in soon, it looks like all of us are going to make it in the final judging. Where are the entries!!!???

2008-02-04 [nehirwen]: Elftowners have the tendency to submit their art just before deadline.. ;)

2008-02-04 [Lite]: I noticed in the ECM dragon art XD

2008-02-04 [nehirwen]: Very nice example indeed.

2008-02-04 [Jitter]: There are still 11 days to go :)

2008-02-08 [*mimi*]: [Cloudwatcher] i love your entry its really pretty

2008-02-08 [Cloudwatcher]: :D ty

2008-02-11 [Jitter]: [Thistlewood] this is so cute ^_^

2008-02-11 [Hedda]: [Thistlewood]: Hey! That's not legal in Elftown. You need step-on-protection!

Hm... Aha, I didn't see the invisible protection spell, at first. Sorry, then it's OK.

2008-02-12 [Thistlewood]: Thank you [Jitter]!
Oh no [Hedda], she is more worried about an owl or a cat taking her steed.

2008-02-12 [nehirwen]: I wonder if my elecorn reacts on a mouse the same as elephants do...
Sorry if some houses get flatten on my way [Hedda]! :p

2008-02-12 [moira hawthorne]: I loved the Borderland Series by Terri Windling... and other authors... the faerys drive about on hybrid motorcycles powered by both fuel and spell boxs.

2008-02-12 [Jitter]: Lol [nehirwen] I hope not xD

Or if he does.. well then I hope he'll follow the elephant in The Simpsons' attitude xD

2008-02-12 [nehirwen]: Me neither.

What attitude had that elephant?

2008-02-12 [Jitter]: He just stomped on the mouse xD

The episode was "The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons" xP

2008-02-12 [nehirwen]: Hahaha, I think [Thistlewood] won't be happy with that.
I shall watch that episode if I find it. ;)

2008-02-12 [Jitter]: *giggles*

I think it's in season 8. Or 7

Don't ask me I've been having Simpsons marathons with Lif lately ^^

There is no episode on Youtube though :(

2008-02-12 [nehirwen]: 7th episode in season 9.
Ohh what a pitty..it's not on googlevideo either.
Hehe, I love marathons. :p
Did a LotR (extended) marathon lately with my bf. :D

2008-02-12 [Jitter]: Haha I've done LOTR marathons soooo many times xD And I usually get a big bucket of Nirvana icecream along xD ->http://www.steficon.gr/deltainvestor/images/media-info/ice-creams/atomika/nirvana_big.jpg

2008-02-12 [nehirwen]: *drooools*

2008-02-13 [Thistlewood]: Poor mouse has a lot to watch out for! Good thing his owner is magical!

2008-02-13 [Thistlewood]: Not a very good background, but better than before.

2008-02-14 [Qibossa]: There's not to much imagination in here, is there?

2008-02-14 [Lord Dog]: Gotta love artwork inspired by a two year old

2008-02-14 [moira hawthorne]: aaaa you got yours finished aswell!

2008-02-14 [Lord Dog]: yep (Huge Grin) Her version will have different Riders though

2008-02-14 [moira hawthorne]: ooooh you should do the family ... you are already there...

2008-02-14 [Lord Dog]: Yeah I think her version will have her driving. Need to work on capturing the cuteness though

2008-02-14 [Jitter]: [Qibossa] that's kind of rude you know.... Better put your entry first and then say there's no imagination :)

2008-02-14 [moira hawthorne]: oooh definately... I did a train for a friend's family and that exactly what I did... but instead of painting the family I made it as a photo collage.. the family portraits fit into windows of the painted train... even had their dog on the caboose.

2008-02-14 [Lord Dog]: Probably put her and her sister in If I can find the Pictures I want to use for the basis of their fae pics, and maybe their cat driving

2008-02-14 [moira hawthorne]: opoooooh so when the train is late you can blame the cat! hehehe

2008-02-14 [Lord Dog]: Jitter, I wouldn't worry about rude comments especially those concerning lack of creativity. I see plenty of creativity

2008-02-15 [Artsieladie]: [Thistlewood], I'm delighted to see your lovely art work here! You are such an awesome artist! *drools over*  I was going to enter this, but I don't have enough time to. Too many other things I have to do. *shrugs*

2008-02-15 [Jitter]: Yes Brij, I know that ;) But being rude never helped with anything ;)

I love most of the ideas presented here :3

2008-02-15 [moira hawthorne]: [Kahri] your dragon fish is really cool! great creature design!

2008-02-15 [Lord Dog]: Usually in those cases I consider the source.. Yeah I like something about every artwork.

2008-02-16 [Thistlewood]: Thank you [Artsieladie]! I'd still like to see your entry, if you have started it? *looks at [Artsieladie]* What's different about you?

2008-02-16 [Kahri]: Thanks Moira! It's kind of a cross between an Angel fish and a Dragonfly.

2008-02-16 [moira hawthorne]: I see the dragon fly for sure but I thought beta tho for the fish

2008-02-16 [Linderel]: The deadline has been extended! The new one is March 9th.

2008-02-16 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: Woootness! Maybe I can come up with something a little more original!

2008-02-16 [moira hawthorne]: well thats good...

2008-02-16 [nehirwen]: I think yours is already original [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]. ;)

2008-02-16 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: lol thanks. I had fun doing it.. so that's the main goal I guess. :)

2008-02-16 [Kahri]: Yeah, maybe beta is closer to what it looks like:)

2008-02-16 [moira hawthorne]: either way... its cool... and now you have time to finish prettying up the water like you wanted...

2008-02-16 [Kahri]: yup! Now does that look more like it's underwater? :)

2008-02-16 [moira hawthorne]: ooooh yes very good!
and here I was trying to find you a tutorial!

2008-02-16 [Kahri]: I was looking for one too, I found one for a more advanced version of Photoshop and a higher skill level than I have so I couldn't really use it, but I used the ideas from it and improvised. Thanks for looking though!

2008-02-16 [moira hawthorne]: np yw

2008-02-16 [Lord Dog]: very pretty Kahri

2008-02-16 [moira hawthorne]: hey Bri! you have time now to make the passengers and driver of your train all the way you wanted! your family...

2008-02-17 [Lord Dog]: Actually, if I change this version, I will probably add members of elftown to this train, and members of the family to Genny's version I have to wait to see what Joseph or Emerald will look like anyway 

2008-02-17 [moira hawthorne]: ooooh that works too...

2008-02-17 [Kahri]: Thanks Brijco!

2008-02-21 [Cia_mar]: i sure hope i can finish on time!!!
i am working hard on it though: cia's et transportation wip

2008-03-06 [Lord Dog]: That is really good Cia ! Looks like it could be an ad for a Library or something

2008-03-06 [Cia_mar]: thanks!!!!

2008-04-04 [Lord Dog]: So how is this coming along?

2008-04-04 [Linderel]: Hmm, we should be able to put up a Mainstreet poll by now. I'll do that after the downtime. :)

2008-04-04 [Lord Dog]: ok just wondering

2008-04-29 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: Dang it! I knew I should have made a new entry... *sigh* I never make the short list. >.<

2008-04-29 [Triola]: What I'm wondering, is how [Jitter] made it to the poll, when hers is only a placeholder/example and not made for this contest :P

2008-04-29 [moira hawthorne]: aswell rule 2 - All pieces must be new, made for this contest.

2008-04-30 [Kahri]: How come the old version of my picture is in the poll and not the updated one? *confused*

2008-04-30 [moira hawthorne]: hummmm.... an older version of mine is in the poll too not the one that is here long before the contest ended

2008-04-30 [Cia_mar]: i noticed that as well... the newer versions do look alot better too!

2008-04-30 [Kahri]: yeah, that extension on the deadline really helped me make a difference in my pic.

2008-04-30 [Linderel]: Bummer. Will have to fix that xD

2008-04-30 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: wow, that's what I call a quick contest! :P

2008-04-30 [Lord Dog]: Congrats you two !

2008-05-04 [Company Awesome]: WoW. Amazing work all around.

2008-05-07 [Tranquility]: I think [Cia_mar] has seen the page master one too many times... lol

2008-05-08 [Cia_mar]: actually i have not seen that movie in over 3 years... but now that you mention it... it was good....
