Brought to you by [Linderel].


H. P. Lovecraft left us with a legacy of dreadful imaginings.
As a friend of horror, I would like to see what the people of Elftown can make of his work.

2011-06-14 [windowframe]: z0mg.

2011-06-14 [Linderel]: y0.

2011-09-22 [Linderel]: So I figure I'll open this in, like, November. At the latest.

2011-11-08 [Linderel]: Oh look, it's November. I'll draw an example and kick this off soon. :O

2011-11-15 [Linderel]: Opening on Friday. :3

2011-11-18 [Linderel]: OPEN! Tell all your friends. :D

2011-11-18 [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: This is a great comp. Too bad I cannot draw.

2011-11-18 [Viking]: *watches*

2011-11-18 [Linderel]: Infinity: Neither can I :P You see that example image?

2011-11-18 [Linderel]: Hahahaha xD Oh Trin.

2011-11-18 [Triola]: At least I drew something, eh? :D

2011-11-18 [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: Least she drew something GOOD you mean :P

2011-11-22 [Veltzeh]: Hmmm! :o

2011-11-22 [Rice]: Can it be from any of his stories? :)

2011-11-22 [Linderel]: Yep, any of them. :)

2011-11-22 [Rice]: I AM HERE! When I go home for Christmas I'll use the decent scanner and draw a picture for this. I have an idea already...

2012-01-06 [The Dizzy Raven]: oh dear. My boyfriend would love it if I drew something Lovecraft related. hahaha I guess I'm in :)

2012-01-06 [Linderel]: Hooray! :D

2012-01-06 [The Dizzy Raven]: :3

2012-01-06 [Linderel]: Very nice. :)

2012-01-07 [The Dizzy Raven]: Thanks! :)

2012-01-20 [Avaz]: Why am I only discovering this today? >:O *watches*

2012-01-20 [Linderel]: I have no idea, but you should definitely make it up to me somehow. By participating, for example.

2012-01-20 [Avaz]: Argh, but I stopped drawing by hand nearly a decade ago! I concentrate on mostly photomanips and digital art these days, which leaves me disqualified for this contest. >_>

2012-01-20 [Linderel]: Digital painting is a-okay, if you do that sort of stuff. Besides, you can always revisit old habits!

2012-01-20 [Avaz]: Ah. In that case, I will think it over and try to decide quickly if I'll have the time to finish a piece in time before the deadline. :D

2012-01-31 [Linderel]: Oh, if someone's considering not participating because the deadline's so close, get your butt in gear. I'm extending.

2012-01-31 [Nocturnaliss]: WONDERFUL. I am one of those people :3

2012-01-31 [Veltzeh]: Ummm. Could I have a link to a short essay or something like it that explains what this Lovecraft stuff is so I could ponder what kind of art I could make about it? X) I'm just not familiar with horror.

2012-02-01 [Linderel]: Well, Lovecraft is more than just Cthulhu. I'd like to see some Shoggoths and Shub-Nigguraths, for example. And non-Euclidian geometry.

Also, Vel, you've played Arkham Horror, right? :o

2012-02-01 [wicked fae mage]: The King in Yellow! *eyes twinkle*

2012-02-01 [Veltzeh]: Yeah, I've played Arkham Horror, but I can't remember much of its visuals.

2012-02-01 [Veltzeh]: Also, no, I don't want to do Cthulhu, I'd rather draw something else. X)

2012-02-08 [Nocturnaliss]: Sorry, I figured that link'd be a good place to start... there's many other links to other lovecraftian mythology.

Also, I found this:

2012-02-13 [Nioniel]: Hmmm...

2012-02-21 [Enchanted^]: yes, aliens are real !

2012-03-02 [wicked fae mage]: I took a photo of my sketch because my scanner is borked :/
Not sure if follows rules?

2012-03-02 [Linderel]: Can do. Also, you're technically late, but I'm probably going to change the deadline so that it's a minimum number of entries instead of a date.

2012-03-03 [Avoral]: [The Dizzy Raven]'s the winner by skill and just all-around amazingness, but I think it should go to [Triola] for quoting The Call of Cthulhu so well.

2012-03-03 [Triola]: Whoo :D

2012-03-03 [Linderel]: Yes, Trin is rather awesome. :D Nevertheless, deadline shall be changed.

2012-03-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: XD Thanks :) and you're right :) Triola's is awesome ^^

2012-03-04 [Triola]: Not to be very pessimistic or anything, but I very strongly doubt you'll get 15 entries <.<

2012-03-04 [Avaz]: If I may make a suggestion: Instead of having either a minimum number of entries or a specified end date, why not make it so that it's a whichever-comes-first thing? Like "this contest is open until we receive either X number of entries OR Y date, whichever comes first."

2012-03-04 [Linderel]: Yeah, I thought about that too. Will possibly (read: probably) make it so very soon.

2012-03-05 [Avoral]: Hey, you don't know that. Maybe I'll submit one.

2012-03-05 [Mortified Penguin]: Yeah, maybe me too.

2012-07-10 [Linderel]: Okay. Time to wake up again.

2012-07-10 [Nocturnaliss]: I'd actually completely forgot about this. Thx for the wake-up call.

2012-07-10 [Linderel]: :) No problem. It's part of my "getting back on track with things" ritual. I've been a bit... absent.

2012-07-10 [Nocturnaliss]: Happens to everyone, haven't been around much either. Or doing much more than working and coming home tired, nestling into the couch, and staying there.

2013-03-26 [Linderel]: *clang* Because of my absenteeism, I'm extending. Again. But this'll be the last time.

2013-03-26 [Nioniel]: Awesome. I had forgotten about this, but may still submit something.

2013-03-27 [Viking]: I wish I weren't so lazy about drawing. I've wanted to do something featuring either Pickman's Model or The Music of Erich Zann for a while.
