2008-01-10 [Triola]: What are you talking about, [Feasting on Needles]? :O Not good at art my arse! That drawing is teh awesome :D I love his expression xD
2008-01-11 [Feasting on Needles]: Dunno, it's just a bit of a jumbly mess. Thank you for thinking so, though. And (pardon my grammar) which "expression" is it that you like so well? :o
2008-01-11 [Atayemi]: [blu.nation], yours is fab! I love it! <3
2008-01-11 [SlightlySpiked]: wow, i think i missed a lot. good color combo choice tho kura

Did someone make this a club while I was gone? T_T
Exams're over, by the way. I suppose I'd better make a deadline for this silly thing. o.o;
2008-01-17 [Zab]: Nah, I don't wanna win too soon. ^^
2008-01-17 [Kuramasgirl]: XD Your modesty should be an example to us all, Zab...
I'll keep it open a while. I have no idea what my next classes will be like, but they shouldn't be horrid.
Plus, I've got a show this weekend. Weather permitting, anyway. =_=
2008-01-17 [Zab]: hehehehehehe ^^
2008-01-19 [Titanium Tiger]: :))) weeeeeeeeeeeee
2008-01-19 [Titanium Tiger]: well there he is how its worth it!!^^ lol
2008-01-22 [Kikai]: Sorry I missed the Pink month for Breast Cancer Awareness, but all the entries turned out so beautiful, and congrats to the winner! I love the new colors, yellow AND gray, that'll be hard XD, kura :3
2008-01-22 [Moonlit Serenade]: When is the deadline for this...?
2008-01-23 [Iske]: nice one morningstar ..;
2008-01-23 [Morningstar Rising]: Thanks [Iske].
2008-01-24 [Kuramasgirl]: The deadline is yet to be decided because I'm laz---I mean, because so many people want it to keep going. :| Right, right.
Suggestions for a deadline are always appreciated, so..y'know...i
Oh, and lovely entries everyone. XD
2008-01-24 [Lady Ice]: how about now? or.. um.. feb 1?
2008-01-24 [Cia_mar]: well maybe feb 1st or 20 entries... whichever comes first?
2008-01-24 [MisLuck]: Maeranna Hill, your b picture does not exist. Would you be kind and fix it?
2008-01-24 [Titanium Tiger]: great!! feb 1st would be good for me!!!
2008-01-25 [Magdalena Snow]: oh! well that's a bummer. lemme take care of that asap
2008-01-25 [Iske]: I like the second one Maeranna Hill... keep up the good work
2008-01-25 [SlightlySpiked]: i likes em all!!!
2008-01-26 [Feasting on Needles]: Artemis! Where's the yellow in your other pictures? :0
2008-01-26 [Artemis Management]: Hah. I'm an idiot. I totally just realized it's yellow AND grey not yellow OR grey.
2008-01-27 [Kuramasgirl]: Though I like your pictures, Artemis, I'm afraid you'll have to take them off. :( Sorry.
And as for the deadline...Feb
2008-01-28 [Cia_mar]: it matters not to me... when ever the deadline is decided to be... is good.
2008-01-28 [Little Insane Cat]: when is the deadline? i have my photo taken i just need to upload
2008-01-29 [SlightlySpiked]: do you already have tha colors picked out 4 tha next contest Kura??
2008-01-31 [Kuramasgirl]: No, I don't have the colors for the next contest just yet. I haven't gotten the badges for this one yet either. -sigh- Things piling up, piling up...I'll get it done, though.
Lemme just put the deadline up...
2008-02-07 [Kuramasgirl]: Voting's up, guys.
2008-02-07 [Titanium Tiger]: :) so umm votng already?
2008-02-09 [Kuramasgirl]: ...Yeeeees....>>;
Now I just need the badges. *dies*
2008-02-13 [SlightlySpiked]: Iske, i like # c, and Papillon Bleu, good job. i like everyone else's too. great job guys!!!
2008-02-13 [Lady Ice]: can we do blue or green next?
2008-02-15 [Iske]: we already had bleu and green but no combination of the both...Maybe that wil be the next stage in this contest, merged colours, I think that brown was in discution when Kuramsgirl picked out grey and yellow and thx [SlightlySpiked]
2008-02-15 [SlightlySpiked]: hmm...i think ill have to enter n this next 1. welcome Iske ^^
2008-02-15 [Kuramasgirl]: I'm not really super interested in doing another merged color contest at this moment. I'd rather that be an infrequent sort of event.
I do believe brown was in discussion, yes, but I think others were as well, so anyone's suggestions are more than welcome.
Meanwhile, I'm going to go procrastinate on the badges because I haven't a clue what to do with them. <3
2008-02-16 [Feasting on Needles]: Has red been used yet? It's such a beautiful, passionate color, I'm sure the entries would be amazing.
2008-02-16 [Kuramasgirl]: Yes, red's been used.
2008-02-16 [Feasting on Needles]: Well, darn. What colors are left?
2008-02-16 [Lady Ice]: white?
2008-02-16 [Cia_mar]: puce!....lol..
2008-02-16 [Feasting on Needles]: puce? I've never heard of that color. :9
2008-02-17 [Lady Ice]: did someone just watch montsters Inc again?
how about.... Olive, lilac, Gold, Silver, Seafoam, beige, Chartreuse, coral, Denim, or russet?
2008-02-17 [Kuramasgirl]: o_o Lady Ice, those are the best colors ever.
I think we might have to do them all...Separate
2008-02-17 [Feasting on Needles]: They're lovely colors, but so easy to say "Oh well, this is close..." if you find a similar color. xD; Maybe Gold and Denim you couldn't. but coral... you could say salmon is close to coral. Is this contest that strict? xD;
2008-02-17 [Lady Ice]: :) Yay I did something Kura liked for once!
2008-02-18 [Kuramasgirl]: XD I don't like strict contests. Don't make me into one of those mean drill sergeant sort of owners. >_>
For once? :o
2008-02-20 [SlightlySpiked]: those colors sound good 2 me
2008-02-26 [Kuramasgirl]: My apologies for the craptastic badges, but if I don't put any badges up I'm going to die. x_x; This contest should technically be closed, anyway...I think the voting's been up long enough, anyway...
But I don't feel well and I've got an art show coming up this weekend, so we'll just have to see what I get done...
Won't be long, though, I promise. :P
2008-02-26 [Kikai]: aww kura, they aren't craptastic :'D
Sorry I missed this contest D: But next one will be fun for sure. :) and we could always go back to the idea of a wild card "rainbow" special anneversary or something XD
2008-02-26 [Iske]: cool badge Kura ;)
2008-02-27 [SlightlySpiked]: kura, those badges are not craptastic. they look pretty good if i dont say so myself.
2008-03-01 [Kuramasgirl]: Heh, thanks guys. xD You're so nice...
Anyway, I'm about to make voting closed, so whoever wants to had better hurry up and cast their precious vote! :3
Especially considering there's a tie!!! >< Come on guys, I need your help here!
2008-03-03 [Kuramasgirl]: There is still a tie! Ask your friends to vote! Do something! I can't end this contest until it's broken, and that means that it'll just be longer until the next color! D:
2008-03-09 [Cia_mar]: congrats!!!!
2008-03-09 [Zab]: Congrats.^^
2008-03-10 [Iske]: congrats to the winners, well done
2008-03-11 [Kikai]: I had to break the tie, and i just loved yours papillon bleu <3333 congrats to both!
2008-03-11 [BinaryPhoenix]: Congrats!!! I can't wait to know what the next colors are...
2008-03-12 [Demon Epona]: Yep! I'm gonna try and enter the next one. Do you know the color(s) yet, Kura?
Congrats to all the participants and winners. Great work.
2008-03-12 [Kuramasgirl]: It's a battle between Olive, lilac, Gold, Silver, Seafoam, beige, Chartreuse, coral, Denim, or russet (as [Lady Ice] said). Pick your poison, guys. :3
2008-03-12 [Demon Epona]: XD! Lots of choices! Honestly, I'm fine with whatever. ^^
2008-03-12 [Lady Ice]: I choose denim
2008-03-12 [Feasting on Needles]: Denim would probably be the easiest. but at the same time, maybe the most difficult for photography (unless you shoot a bunch of butts...)
2008-03-12 [Mom]: THere are alot of things that are denim colored ...all jeans are not.It's a great color though.
2008-03-12 [Feasting on Needles]: It depends if texture is included. If the texture of denim is an issue, then there are a lot less probable subjects. If only the color of denim is an issue, then the things photographed probably won't be denim colored at all, just a close shade of blue. (Also. I never said ANYTHING about all jeans being denim- I don't think I even mentioned jeans. ;P)
2008-03-12 [Mom]: Nevermind...I wasn't arguing. Just making an statemant.I apologize saying you talked about jeans...I assumed when you said butts that's what you meant. I won't assume anymore.
2008-03-12 [blu.nation]: i vote russet :D i'm not fond of denim. it's kind of a plain color.
2008-03-12 [Feasting on Needles]: Russet is a GORGEOUS color. :)
2008-03-12 [Demon Epona]: Exactly what shade of color is russet? redish-brown?
2008-03-12 [Kuramasgirl]: That's what I think when I hear russet. For the sake of time, I'm narrowing it down to between denim and russet, since those have shown the most interest. So there are your choices. Tell me which you like best, and I'll put it up ASAP. :3
2008-03-13 [Mom]: Either would be good to me. Russet is okay if that's what the others want.
2008-03-13 [Feasting on Needles]: I think both colors would be hard to really represent- Maybe that will make this run all the more fun! :D
2008-03-15 [Kuramasgirl]: I like russet, myself...We could always do denim afterwards. :3
2008-03-16 [SlightlySpiked]: wow, ive missed a lot apparently. sry im not on all that much guys.
2008-03-16 [Mom]: So it's Russet then?
2008-03-16 [Kuramasgirl]: Yeah, we're going for russet. :3 I'll change it now.
2008-03-16 [Titanium Tiger]: interesting choice!! I think I will try this one!!^_^
2008-03-16 [Zab]: What colour is that? Oo
2008-03-16 [Titanium Tiger]: redish brown I would say!!
2008-03-16 [Zab]: oh..Oo
2008-03-16 [Titanium Tiger]: *_*
2008-03-16 [Mom]: http://en.wiki
2008-03-16 [Zab]: :D Horse colour
2008-03-16 [Kuramasgirl]: Very horsey colour. >D
2008-03-16 [Zab]: heheehheeh
2008-03-17 [Demon Epona]: Darn! If I only had that rusty horse shoe around! Hehe. I've got a good one.
2008-03-18 [Cia_mar]: [Feasting on Needles] i like the second one... the first,,,hmmm not sure... but the macro effect and color of the second is stellar!
2008-03-18 [Feasting on Needles]: Yeah, I'm not so sure I like the first one either. It will probably change though. It's too rich of a red-brown for it to be russet, I'd say.
2008-03-18 [Cia_mar]: it isnt so much the color as the composition that throws me for it
2008-03-18 [Feasting on Needles]: I, personally, like the composition. What is it that you don't like about it? (I'm curious to see where I can improve. :))
2008-03-18 [Cia_mar]: i just feel like my eyes cannot focus on it properly... the white flowers overpower... yet i know they provide great contrast, they seem to draw me away from the russet, and the fact that his face is the same shape as the rose buds and nearly the same color, without any really decernable features, is just an off feeling.... this is of course my opinion,,,, things i like about it though are the brilliance of color and the contrast of forground and background....
2008-03-18 [Feasting on Needles]: It's too bad about the face- the statue is probably 20+ years old and is outside, so age and mother nature has worn down the face so bad that he doesn't HAVE any features really. He's also missing a hand. :( I can totally understand how it's hard to find a focal point. Now that I look at it more, I'm having a little trouble myself. :p
2008-03-18 [Cia_mar]: i think that that is the only thing really that detracts from it so much... *sighs of relief* i hate critiquing, i always feel like i might hurt someones feelings....
2008-03-18 [Feasting on Needles]: Don't worry about it. The only ways to offend me are 1) insulting my intelligence/c
2008-03-18 [Cia_mar]: ah well i am not that sort to do that...
lol
2008-03-19 [Kuramasgirl]: Ooh, I love the entries so far. :3
And Zab, that horse looks so huggable. D: I waaaaant it...
2008-03-19 [Zab]: The more I look at it, the more I think it's a pony...O_o
He reminds me of Frosty even tho they're not very alike..xD
so..is the colour right? O_o
2008-03-19 [Kikai]: wow, russet? XD I'll have to look up that color on a color wheel exactly before I can do anything XD
2008-03-20 [Feasting on Needles]: [Zab]: You hope you hot the right color? :p
2008-03-20 [Lady Ice]: hm... mine looked good until I posted it next to the others... now I think its too red....
2008-03-20 [Lady Ice]: and Zab, I think yours might be a little too brownish....
2008-03-20 [windowframe]: Actually, Lady Ice, according to wikipedia, Zab's is far closer to russet than yours is. :)
(http://en.wiki
2008-03-20 [Lady Ice]: i wouldn't go by what they say. One because the computer tends to distort colors, have you ever tried to get a turqoise on the computer? its impossible. and Two, because its wikipedia. I could go on there and post that I have three eyes and nine arms and then everyone who looks up 'Lady Ice' will see that.
2008-03-20 [windowframe]: The first thing anyone does when wikipedia disagrees with them is to attack the credibility of wikipedia. It's quite amusing. :) However, I'm well aware of the flaws in wikipedia, however, it's quicker than popping down to my local Homebase to get one of their colour charts. Wikipedia is "generally reliable" it will tell you that Pegasus is a winged horse, and it will be accurate, but it may let you down in more technical areas. That' why academics don't like it, but that doesn't mean it's suddenly completely unreliable and we should never, ever trust it.Maybe just not take it as the only source we check for non-academic things (which it wasn't, I just didn't want to spam links). Secondly, there are a lot of unknown factors in claiming that computers distort colour - the graphical capabilities of mine, zab's and the person who uploaded that colour sample, to name a few, so it's currently a weak argument.
Whoops, I slipped into debate mode. :(
2008-03-20 [windowframe]: Also, I used to have a problem getting turquoise, until I realised it *was* there, just not where I expected it to be. I find that happens fairly often with photoshop; the skin colours are never what you'd think they were. :P
2008-03-20 [Zab]: *needs a new screen* xD Mine is always weird (more than normal screens).. that and the fact that I have no idea what russet is, I can just hope it gets right x)
2008-03-20 [windowframe]: it's, as Dela describes it: "potato coloured" :P The colour was nammed after Russet potatoes.
2008-03-20 [Zab]: On my screen, my image is brown and all the others are rusty..xD *unreliable screen*
2008-03-20 [Lady Ice]: Turquoise is impossible. I had this turquoise shirt that I loved. I wanted that color to be in a painting I was making so I put it in my scanner and it came out blue. If you have found turquoise, I'd love to see it. thanks
2008-03-20 [Demon Epona]: http://en.wiki
2008-03-20 [Demon Epona]: Ooh...*steals brother's camera to take a pic.* I just had an idea for this contest!
2008-03-20 [Lady Ice]: no, brighter turquoise.
2008-03-20 [Demon Epona]: That link didn't work right. Try going into wikipedia and typing "Turquoise (color)" It brings up a different page.
2008-03-20 [windowframe]: it's because for some reason the first time you copy it, it actually copies the parentheses which don't work in links, this should work:
http://en.wiki
Lady Ice, I'm sure my shade of turquoise won't be bright enough or light enough, or dark enough for you. ;)
2008-03-22 [Kuramasgirl]: Niiice. xD Debates all around. Ah well, livens up the page a bit. Loving the entries, as always. <3
And I declare that Zab's entry is perfectly russet, does not look like Frosty (xD), and reminds me very much of a pony or a mustang. So there.
2008-03-22 [Zab]: XD still reminds me of Frosty. x) Must be the white marks. x)
2008-03-22 [Kuramasgirl]: xD You obviously do not stare at my horse enough.
2008-03-23 [Kuramasgirl]: Oh yeah, anyone have any ideas for a good deadline? I don't want it to run on forever, but I would like it to be at least a month. Throw your suggestions, guys.
2008-03-24 [Cia_mar]: a month is good...
2008-03-24 [Jitter]: That's russet isn't it...? ^^;
2008-03-24 [Triola]: Isn't it more like puce or maroon? :/ Russet is a warmer red, with more yellow than blue, methinks... might be wrong though :P
2008-03-24 [Lady Ice]: Russet is more brown-maroonis
2008-03-24 [Mom]: Russet(r, g, b)-(128, 70, 27) ...according to wikipedia
2008-03-24 [Atayemi]: Hmm.. russet is a brownish colour to me. Reddish/brown. *shrugs*
2008-03-24 [Demon Epona]: I month sounds good. I've got two photos I want up, but I need to get my brother to download them off his camera. His camera is complicated with downloading. u.u;
2008-03-26 [Kuramasgirl]: Jitter, it might just be my computer, but that looks a tad on the purple side. Highly possible it's my computer, though...
2008-03-26 [Cia_mar]: hers is purplish on this comp too....
2008-03-26 [Mom]: Purple on mine too. =(
2008-03-26 [Jitter]: Better now? :)
2008-03-26 [Lady Ice]: pretty
2008-03-26 [Linderel]: Sorry, the lack of dividers bugged me xD I think it's clearer this way.
2008-03-29 [Kuramasgirl]: Yes, it does seem better Jitter. :3
And the dividers are very welcome. XD Thank you, I think it looks clearer too.
2008-04-06 [windowframe]: Featured Wiki !
2008-04-07 [Kuramasgirl]: AH! YAY! :D Thank you so much!!!
2008-04-07 [Jitter]: bwihihihi
2008-04-08 [Morningstar Rising]: Not sure if that is really russet, tried to get it as close as possible.
2008-04-08 [Kuramasgirl]: It looks like Atay's russet, anyway. So I say it's fine. :)
2008-04-09 [Morningstar Rising]: Thanks.
2008-04-10 [Kuramasgirl]: Beautiful pictures, [Rainbow Dragonflies]!
2008-04-11 [Magdalena Snow]: wow! I never pictured such beautiful pictures from everyone for this color.
2008-04-11 [Rainbow Dragonflies]: ^____^ Thanks.
2008-04-14 [Entropy]: I was wondering, how far are we allowed to deviate from the pure colour? I have a great photo, but I think it's too bright-redish.
2008-04-14 [Cia_mar]: cant hurt to try... post it and then see what everyone thinks... sometimes it is just the colors on your screen that makes it seem that way... my old comp screen always did that
2008-04-14 [Entropy]: Nah, I got a message saying that it was nowhere near russet, so I'll post somethin' else in a few days. Thanks, though.
2008-04-15 [Feasting on Needles]: You could always fiddle with curves and levels.
2008-04-16 [Entropy]: "11.) It is all right to have photographs, but make sure that they are not just colored over with the color of the contest. Any photo that's been colored in Photoshop or another art program so that it's the right color will be deleted." I don't really understand it, but that's the rule.
2008-04-16 [Triola]: I do believe it means that if green is the colour and you post a seascape where the sky and the sea are bright green, bad on you. It does not mean that we will kill you for playing with the contrast etc. :P
2008-04-16 [Feasting on Needles]: I didn't say to color over it. :p
Fiddling with the curves and levels doesn't do that.
2008-04-16 [Rainbow Dragonflies]: Ana, is your second picture an incense holder? XD
I thought it was a grind at first and then I took a closer look and the ashes look like the left-overs of incense XD
2008-04-16 [Feasting on Needles]: Yes, it is. :D
2008-04-22 [Kuramasgirl]: The tenth anniversary for this contest is coming up. :o
Tenth color, I mean...
2008-04-28 [Feasting on Needles]: Is that St. Francis, Demon Epona? :-0
2008-04-30 [Demon Epona]: Yes. He stands by our front door. ^^
Lol. You can see my brother in the waterfall picture if you look close enough.
2008-05-01 [Kuramasgirl]: Just to tell everyone, the AP US history exam is the 9th of May, so I'm going to be terribly busy leading up to it. I'm going to do my best to make time to make this poll, but if I'm slow in doing so, you'll know why. :\ As soon as this is over, though, I think things will be much calmer.
And to Epona: Is he in camouflage? o.o
2008-05-01 [Aradon Templar]: Best of luck. <3 APUS.
2008-05-01 [Cia_mar]: i see him!!!
2008-05-01 [windowframe]: Me too. The waterfall is bigger than it first appears. :P
2008-05-02 [Feasting on Needles]: OH HAY! I have an AP exam on the 9th too! :D
(and the 14th D:)
But I'm not moderating this... Hah.
2008-05-03 [Kuramasgirl]: Thank you Aradon. :3
And Feasting, what're you taking?
2008-05-03 [Kuramasgirl]: Hurray for putting polls up when you're half-asleep and studying. 8D
2008-05-19 [Feasting on Needles]: Sorry for not getting back to you- I took Euro and Art History.
2008-05-19 [Kuramasgirl]: Ohhh. A lot of my friends took Euro that day too.
2008-05-20 [Iske]: congrats to the winners
most deserved , you've done so good... both and all the rest offcourse 2
and tumbs up for the studying girls and boys
2008-05-20 [Zab]: Yaaay! I won! :D
2008-05-20 [Cia_mar]: congrats!
2008-05-21 [Feasting on Needles]: Oh yay! What's the next color?
2008-05-22 [Kuramasgirl]: Well, it'll be the 11th contest, so I don't know if we wanted to do something special or wait until 15 or 20 or something. xD Or we could just do something normal.
2008-05-22 [5thwitch]: I want to partecipate again T T!!
2008-05-23 [Iske]: normal... we ???? lol
2008-05-23 [Kuramasgirl]: XD Yes, I know, normal is like an oxymoron for us, but I meant a normal color. There's no way I'd ever consider us normal...
2008-05-23 [Artemis Management]: Raaaawr. :D
2008-05-23 [Kuramasgirl]: xD You people crack me up...
But anyway! We need a color. :c
2008-05-23 [Zab]: tiger stripes!
2008-05-23 [Artemis Management]: I was merely trying to prove the point that we are far from normal. XD And, we DO need a color.
2008-05-23 [Zab]: XD
