2010-03-24 [Alexi Ice]: All the entries so far are lovely!
2010-03-27 [Keno]: old picture but I still like it :) kinda lol
lovely entries :D
2010-04-03 [Zab]: hm.. may a character made for a rp world I didn't create, but my friend who's hosting the rp, created, work?
2010-04-03 [Alexi Ice]: I'm a bit confused. You didn't create the RP or you didn't create the character?
2010-04-03 [Zab]: I created the character but not the rp world..
2010-04-03 [Alexi Ice]: Yeah, as long as it's your character ^^
2010-04-03 [Zab]: ok :)
2010-04-06 [Falx]: I just noticed how much Samuel and Kuro look alike.
2010-04-06 [Keno]: lol that's interesting :D Well it is an old picture of mine he's suppose to have red streaks in his hair. :)
2010-04-08 [Kaimee]: Old work, but I hope you like my characters :3
2010-04-08 [Linderel]: Grass! :D
2010-04-08 [Chel.]: This poll is going to be huge! :]
2010-04-08 [Kaimee]: Apparently people like character contests :D
2010-04-08 [Linderel]: I might enter as well. That would just require me to get my butt in gear.
2010-04-08 [Chimes]: At which point, Kaimee, we should convince people that we need MOAR character art contests :P
2010-04-08 [Chel.]: A big contribution is probably because SO MANY people rp on Elftown...
2010-04-08 [Teufelsweib]: omg Kaimee I love those <3
2010-04-08 [Falx]: Looks like ET's got some RPers with some mad art skillz to boot! Lots of prettyfulness in this contest alone.
2010-04-09 [pegasus1000]: It's funny I had just drawn my character two days before the start of this contest.
2010-04-09 [Alexi Ice]: It's fate telling you that you need to enter, Pegasus! <3
2010-04-10 [Kaimee]: I'm definetely interested in more character art contests, but I don't know yet if I want to mod them or enter them :p
2010-04-10 [Chel.]: Hey! I will totally enter the next one...
2010-04-10 [Chel.]: Maybe the next contests can be a little more specific? Like... sci-fi characters, male characters, apocalypse characters, animorphic characters, ect.
2010-04-10 [Kaimee]: Not this one? I'd love to see some of your work in this one! D:
2010-04-10 [Chel.]: I'm... modding, love.
2010-04-10 [Kaimee]: Hahaha oh right xD why on earth would you mod something you were destined to enter? :p oh well, next time. Very excited to see more of these happening :)
2010-04-10 [Chel.]: :]
2010-05-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: I hope kiratosh is ok. it's not really showing anything
2010-05-03 [Chel.]: Your fine. :]
2010-05-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: k ^_^ thankies
Maybe I worry too much
2010-05-16 [Kaimee]: Whoa, absolutely loving the linework on 'shield' Duredhel :O
2010-05-16 [The Dizzy Raven]: I know, i like it alot :)
2010-05-17 [Goma]: can anyone re size the picture in the link for me x.x
http://th00.de
2010-05-17 [Chel.]: Done! :3
2010-05-17 [Kaimee]: Uh oh, I was just reading the rules again after that question on the main contest page, and realised it says "characters designed for settings such as Middle Earth or X-Men will not be accepted", which means Duredhel's awesome x-men rp character wouldn't be allowed :(
2010-05-17 [Duredhel]: Ohu, so sorry, didn't notice. I'll just switch her for another character :3.
There :D
2010-05-17 [jaraden]: holy crap, why hadn't anyone told me about this place.. the characters here and illustrations are freaking awesome!!! don't know if i should even enter!! makes mine looks like drulling toddler scratches.. ha ha! seriously thtough, there are a bunch here that are miles above, they are all good, but seriously, wow!!!
2010-05-17 [jaraden]: hows that?? any good?
2010-05-17 [wicked fae mage]: Fantastic [jaraden]!
2010-05-17 [Alexi Ice]: I love it, just please don't leave her in the comments, thank you.
2010-05-17 [jaraden]: where do i leave her??? you mean i gotta retype all that?? doh!
2010-05-17 [Yncke]: Just after the last entrant... and... copy-paste? :P
2010-05-17 [jaraden]: cheers, hope that worked! so freaking rubbish at this whole wiki things! ha!
2010-05-17 [Kaimee]: Wow, really lovely new entry (and great replacement duredhel!! I want a link to more of your artwork >.>) it's awesome to see such a great response from so many artists :D
2010-05-17 [jaraden]: i a great contest, and i agree, there are a tonne of fantastic entries here, great characters and well thought out images!!!
2010-05-17 [jaraden]: sweet new entries!!! still captivated by the ones amassed already!!! freaking cool man!
2010-05-17 [Chel.]: This is going to be the biggest poll ever...
2010-05-17 [Falx]: Sweet Salamander on a Stick! That's a lot of entries. Sort of feeling a bit out of my league here. ^_^; I'm wondering if the mods will shave it down to just a few images before the final poll...
2010-05-17 [Goma]: thanks for the re-size I hate stretching the page x.x
2010-05-17 [jaraden]: i think the bigger the better, showing off your original characters should be celebrated for its creativity! but i would say that it'll be hard to choose just one, so if i had a suggestion i would ask that we be able to vote for more then one image/characte
2010-05-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: Hoorah for creativity!!!!
vote for more than one? that would be cool :)
oh, heck!! I know exactly who others I would vote for! There's a lot of good art on here! :)
2010-05-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: maybe "good" is a bit of a huge understatement
2010-05-17 [Erubeus]: Wow..
Five new pieces of art since last night.. D8
2010-05-17 [jaraden]: good is an understatement
2010-05-17 [Duredhel]: [Kaimee], you can just check out my DA if you want :O -> http://0-dured
2010-05-17 [Falx]: Voting for more than one would be a brilliant move. Otherwise, people's heads might explode from having to pick just one!
2010-05-17 [Eyonic]: dang, I'm number 30 :/ that's a lot of entries..
2010-05-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: :)
2010-05-17 [Kaimee]: Sometimes in huge polls like this the crew select a smaller number (say 5, or 10) for the mainstreet poll, that way you get the crew favourite (from their poll) and the winner (from the smaller mainstreet poll).
That might make it easier to vote, but I somehow doubt it because I can already see three I can't choose between X.x
2010-05-17 [Chel.]: The competition is FIERCE!
2010-05-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: no kidding :)
2010-05-18 [Erubeus]: ;too tired to add a background;
u.u;;
2010-05-18 [Kaimee]: This reminds me of ET contests 4 or 5 years ago with all the great character entries! So nice to see old faces, and some new ones too :)
2010-05-18 [The Dizzy Raven]: Really? :)
It was about five years ago when I first joined as Lady Illadriel. lol :D so many things have changed since then
2010-05-18 [Kaimee]: A lot has changed, but the thing I miss most is the absolutely HUGE group of artists who were comitted contest entrants, and the many, many other committed elftowners hosting their own contests!
It was such a great artistic challenge, a huge amount of fun, and really worthwhile. It's awesome to see so many official competitions these days but I don't really think anything beats the spirit of those contests for me :D
So it's fantastic seeing so many artists here!
2010-05-18 [jaraden]: the competition is fierce.. even with the new additions theres a few more i now have to choose between, i hope we're allowed to vote for more then one, or else i'll have no idea who i'm gonna vote for.... graaarrgghh! ha!
2010-05-18 [The Dizzy Raven]: Exactly!!!! :D those competitions boosted some serious esteem! :)
I'm trying to bring an old artist wiki of mine to life right now. It's been quiet for a while. but anyways, thought I might try to bring those old days back again. :)
2010-05-18 [Kaimee]: Does your wiki host any friendly contests? That's what I'd love! That, or for someone with more time than me to ruthlessly clear out art contests and get it up and running! :p
2010-05-18 [The Dizzy Raven]: I have two wikis actually devoted to art. :) I'll send the links to you ^_^
2010-05-18 [Kaimee]: Excellent :D On that note, I'm off to sleep now (Australia time) but I'll be sure to check back for links and new entries here! So close to the deadline - excited!
2010-05-18 [The Dizzy Raven]: alright! awesome! ^_^ have fun
2010-05-19 [Duredhel]: If no one minds i'm gonna standardize the image sizes so it looks more orderly.
2010-05-19 [wicked fae mage]: By all means :)
2010-05-19 [Chel.]: Did it already...
2010-05-19 [Chel.]: ATTENTION: ALL IMAGES MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFTOWN.
I see some Deviantart links as well as some Photobucket links. Please fix this before the deadline. Thanks.
2010-05-19 [Duredhel]: Yeah, but there were some errors still in the tags which led to distorted images, so I fixed those :3
2010-05-19 [Chel.]: Thanks!
2010-05-19 [Duredhel]: No problemo, but yeah, entries 37,36,32 and 31 need to be hosted on ET.
There's also two 31s XD
2010-05-19 [t a k a]: I fixed the link. c:
2010-05-19 [Falx]: Come on! Let's go for an even 40! We only need 3 more entries to make it that far. Heh. I'm starting to feel seriously outclassed here ^_^; Ah, well. It's going to be a good competition.
2010-05-19 [*Phoenix*]: I know what you mean!
I think that reminded at the top of the page got a lot of people to enter. I think they should do that more often.
2010-05-19 [Kaimee]: There were certainly a lot more entries after that Alarm Notice! :)
2010-05-19 [Chel.]: *is a marketing genius*
2010-05-19 [NightHawk]: There y'all go. An even 40. :P And yes, Chel!'s marketing scheme worked on me. ^^
2010-05-19 [Chel.]: :]
2010-05-19 [Erubeus]: I'm hoping to have one more picture up by the deadline.
=3
2010-05-19 [Falx]: Well, hm. We've got 41 now. Might as well shoot for 50! ^_^
2010-05-19 [jaraden]: why not, the more the merrier! here should be like an archive of everyone's characters.. that would be cool!!!just an odd thought though!
2010-05-19 [jaraden]: just been mulling over everyone's bio for their character, took me awhile cause i read sllowwwwww! but there is just as much creativity in the origins of the characters as there is in the images of them!!! very impressive!! had a lot of fun readin them!
2010-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen this many entries in a contest since I was accepted onto the council O.o This is mindboggling. <----(loves that word)
2010-05-19 [The Dizzy Raven]: haha really? :)
2010-05-19 [jaraden]: to be boggled in ones mind.. i know the feelin! har!
2010-05-19 [Ryo-Oni]: On number 36 i used the address from my art wiki here on elftown. Are we sure that there is a problem with it? I just noticed Duredhel brought that up.
2010-05-19 [windowframe]: No, Ryo-Oni, that's fine. Your art wiki on Elftown is of course, part of Elftown. :P
2010-05-19 [Kyrinn]: We can submit two, correct? If that is the case I have a second one that I can enter, it just has some text on it. Ive been using it as an example of the character from a comic he is in. Also, he is from the Star Wars universe but has no relation at all to any of the characters of the movies. That will be alright?
2010-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Attention; For those of you who have not done so you MUST upload your pictures to Elftown for them to be eligable to make the poll. Any that are left uploaded from Deviant art or other places will be disqualified. Thank you.
2010-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Kyrinn - Yeah you can submit two, unfortunatly since he was created for a Star wars universe I don't think he will make the cut. Although this is a big discussion right now as to what that rule actually means...
2010-05-19 [Kyrinn]: Yup, that is why Im asking. :) Ill wait and see what happens.
2010-05-19 [Sheenio]: o.o *stares in awe* yeaaaahh....no point in trying. There are a LOT of good ones entering.
2010-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Kyrinn - K
Sheenio - That should never keep you from trying. You still get a participants badge, you know.
2010-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Yeah, were trying to break a record here! <3 LOL.
2010-05-19 [Falx]: Yeah, and besides, I can vouch for the fact that most artists are more critical of their own art than anyone else is. I know I am. So... come... join us.... Come to the Dark Side... We have cookies!
2010-05-19 [Chel.]: I know I shouldn't be advertising- but I'm a mod so HAH!
Artists! Want REAL feedback instead of just lazy "That's cool." comments?
Get feedback from other artists on ET!
Check out --->Voila!
2010-05-20 [Erubeus]: By the way.. Is there an actual record for submissions on this site? ;clueless;
2010-05-20 [NOOOPE]: D'aww Chel, you advertised for me!
2010-05-20 [Chel.]: <3
2010-05-20 [Sliverbane]: I figured I'd give it a try. :)
2010-05-20 [windowframe]: Bad [Chel.] I just told someone else they shouldn't advertise here, because then everyone would want to! :P
2010-05-20 [Yncke]: As far as official art contests like this one go, I think the record's on Halloween Art Competition - 2004, with 108 entries. :)
Dunno about unofficial art contests...
2010-05-20 [wicked fae mage]: My biggest turnout for an unofficial contest was roughly 20 entries
2010-05-20 [windowframe]: I think the earliest contests probably had the most, since they were a bit of a novelty then, and there was a choking amount of variety (too many contests really can be a bad thing). The Faerie Contest had 47 or so, I think.
2010-05-20 [The Dizzy Raven]: Wow! O.O 47!?
2010-05-20 [Falx]: Come on folks! Only 5 more entries to reach 50! You can do eet!
2010-05-20 [Chel.]: Cheese and crackers...
2010-05-21 [jaraden]: i miss just one day and look what happens, nearly 50 submission (by the way the new ones are fantastic!!) and a whole discussing has errupted, oh.. and there is cookies???? sweet! i lok forward to checkin out this page, i do enjoy seeing the creativity in the other artists, how thier character's have changed or the stories behind them! not just 'here is myfavorite character george, he is big, he likes to break things', there seems to be not only a lot of thought put into each character but also a fair bit of reality to them! not only have the creaters taken a lot of time designing the character but a actually put in the thought behind the character!! very exciting!
2010-05-21 [jaraden]: but on a different tangent (spelt wrong i am sure, i don't think it should be allowed to use the image of a character you have created which is represented or taken from an exsisting character. i read up there somewhere of possibly using a character from athe star wars universeas refference which kinda defeats the whole purpose of the contest thingy. now i know a fair few here have at one time or another created a character for an RPG or whatever the are calling them these days, but those i think don't count as original characters because your using them for a game or storyline that isn't yours. but that's just my opinion (which i have to say, is often way off base!) ha!
2010-05-21 [Erubeus]: Mnn.
I think I'm going to replace one of my submissions with a different one. e.e
Damned drawing spree.
2010-05-21 [Duredhel]: In this case, I dare say, yeah, it is, kiolmetrically
The reason why X-men universe, Star Wars universe, etc character are not allowed is because ET has always been wary of unwittingly infringing on some copyright and bringing trouble to the site, not because creating a character in an existing universe has any less merit. After all, creating characters in a pre-existing universe is all we do, regardless of how much we might want to convince ourselves of the contrary.
2010-05-21 [jaraden]: true enough, there is that disapointing reality that anyone's character isn't original! it frustrates the heck outta me when i design something only have have someone say "he looks like the dude from...", or i come up with a story line or event for a character only to discover it's been done before! still as for a contest for original characters i was only stating the merits of a character created from the artists own universe is 'better' becuse it's all too easy to design one from another gaming or existing universe, it lack the soul of a character thought up by the artist from the artists own imagination for the artists own universe.. thats it, any creativity should be celebrated at elftown and i am all for that, i have or ever will put down any members creativity, i think every members creation had merit, i truely do! that's why i adore elftown, as an artist, the oppertunity to learn from, view and comment on others works. i love getting into discussions about members creations and i like to hear how they came up with characters and storyline! hail elftown!!!!!!!
2010-05-21 [Duredhel]: Actually I got to disagree there too, I don't think there's any more merit in designing a character from your own universe than there is in designing a character from any other universe. It's an extremely naive way of thinking. In both cases we have a set of rules and requirements we define as the universe, and we create a character which will fit within those parameters. In fact its not any "easier" to design a character fitting pre-establishe
The reason is simple, without the input of other people in characters, opinions and stories, the world created by the single guy is often grossly flawed and incongruent. A "MY character, created by ME for MY universe" mindset doesn't mean the character will have "soul", it means storytelling ends up being nothing but a masturbatory exercise. To deny the contributions of all those people to an existing world and dismiss them as "worse" or "all too easy" is not something I can reconcile with. (Heck, the best Star Wars stuff is the stuff George Lucas has nothing to do with).
And seriously, something people need to get over this "originality" paradigm and obsession that really ends up getting in the way of creativity. Kids, repeat after me, "The idea means nothing, execution is king." no matter how cliché or unoriginal you think your idea is, if you execute it well, the final product will be something worth having. On the other hand, a great idea that is poorly executed ends up being pure rubbish.
2010-05-21 [Kyrinn]: Okay, putting my opinion in to be heard:
Just because it was created IN the Star Wars Universe does not automatically mean it was a copy of someone that already exists. That generalization isnt fair. My tech, for example, has NONE of the other characters (book or movie) in mind when I created him. However in his history he was trained by the Empire, so does this mean he is unoriginal? I have seen people make totally original ideas within the confines of the Universe they created it for. Just assuming that because he was created for a Star Wars d20 game means he is not original is kinda.. frustrating. More is being made out of this than it should be.
And dont get me started about George Lucas. >.>
And I agree [Duredhel], sometimes the creation you think is completely unoriginal will turn into an awesome well rounded ORIGINAL. I love it when that happens! I think the problem here is people are so afraid these days of being pointed out as a 'thief' by people who their character resembles. There is no such thing as a new idea these days, its how its set up. Too many people in this world have the "MINE MINE MINE!!" viewpoint that its frustrating.
Dern, I left a novel. O_O Sorry... this subject is a sensitive one becuase I do tabletop gaming at least once a week. :)
2010-05-21 [jaraden]: well then let's agree to disagree.. i don't want to argue, i agree with you two, yet disagree at the same time...
2010-05-21 [Kyrinn]: GAH ET ate my comment. *gnashes teeth* Bad computer day I guess. Okay, [jaraden] I guess we can do that. :P
2010-05-23 [Ravenclaw]: can I get a woot for antler wearing bitches everywhere? lol
2010-05-23 [Erubeus]: Dang. We didn't reach 50.
2010-05-23 [Veltzeh]: There's still time! One more! X)
2010-05-23 [Kyrinn]: Doing my best to get us to 50. XD
2010-05-24 [Yuriona]: Damn... I was working on another entry but real life interfered so I couldn't get it done in time. D:
2010-05-24 [Chel.]: There is still a little time left!
2010-05-24 [Yuriona]: Not gonna happen. I suppose I could enter a different drawing though.
2010-05-24 [Yuriona]: There we go... 50 entries! WHEE!!
2010-05-24 [Erubeus]: YAY~!
2010-05-24 [wicked fae mage]: WOO! Celebration!
2010-05-24 [jaraden]: celebration time!!! comon!! 50 submissions!! freaking awesome guys!! checked outt he new ones, very impressive!! i'm dead chuffed at all the characters featured here!! i still dig reading the bios too!! very creative!!! this should be one to watch!!!!
2010-05-24 [Falx]: ^_^ Can't wait for this to go to vote! So many good pics to choose from!
2010-05-24 [Yncke]: I hope the '10 in the wiki name is an indication that this will be a yearly contest. :)
2010-05-24 [jaraden]: now i really do think it's impossible to choose just one image/characte
2010-05-24 [jaraden]: i hope it'll be a yearly contest too by the way!
2010-05-24 [Chel.]: Not necessarily the exact same thing. The next contest will probably be more specific. Like.... sci-fi ocs, fantasy ocs, fancharacter ocs, etc.
2010-05-24 [Ravenclaw]: so just orcs in general? lol
2010-05-24 [Yncke]: Jep, but only orcs who don't pronounce the 'r'. ;)
2010-05-24 [Ravenclaw]: Lol I completely read "Orcs" not "Ocs", my bad
2010-05-25 [jaraden]: thats alright, that threw me for a doubletake too.. but yeah, i think it'll be great to have a slightly different event each year, cause i don't know bout the rest of yous but its not like i have tones of characters lyin around but it'd be cool to check out more specific rendre type characters... and stuff.. i don't know... it's WAY too early in the morn for me to be typin... you know what i mean!
2010-05-25 [maryanne]: I have tons of characters lying around... >_> Over 300, no joke.
2010-05-25 [jaraden]: really? they must be pretty pissed off just lyin around.. ha, only jokin.. i do have an aweful lot of characters myself, just not very many sketched out, i'm tryin to focus on one stroyline at a time, i used to bounce around from idea to idea and found i got nothing done... but i hear you sista!
2010-05-25 [Erubeus]: It's the same for me.
Though, the ideas are still bouncing around in my head and sometimes I just can't help but write out a simple plot line just to get the idea out of my head, along with my main character.
2010-05-25 [jaraden]: thats exactly how i roll too, i've got a little flip-top book that is chok-a-blok full of ideas for storylines and characters... and every now and again i take a look back at some of them and suddenly the whole story reappears in my terribly spelling brain!
2010-05-25 [maryanne]: Yup. That's my problem. Too many ideas and none of them get done.
2010-05-26 [Erubeus]: xD
Right now I have at least five stories going on a word pad, and I just can't seem to focus enough of my attention on any one of them and get the finished.
And just an hour ago I got another idea simply by drawing a picture.
It friggen sucks how unmotivated I am to make it into a story. ><
Because I like the idea of it. x3
2010-05-26 [jaraden]: ahhh the age old probelem, as artists we are either flooded with creativity and complain, or run into a wall and wonder where our creativity has flown! ha! your best bet is just to keep them all stored away, wither on paper onr (in my case) in your head! never forget an idea is what i say, you never know where it might take you! i lvoe the sheer creativity of this group though and i still think that one day we as a community should do one freaking massive collaberation of some sort.. whouldn't that be freaking wicked!!!! just a thought! har! cannot wait for the voting, i don't think i'm have a hope, but there are so many great illustraions and brilliant characters i psyched to see who wins out!!!! seriously dudes!! har har!
2010-05-26 [wicked fae mage]: I can't imagine such a mass collaboration.
2010-05-26 [Erubeus]: Hm..
That would be very interesting..
2010-05-27 [jaraden]: told you it was an interesting idea.. just think o the possibilities.
2010-05-27 [Lilya Athena]: I'm down for it >>
2010-05-27 [Chel.]: Can you guys take random chatter elsewhere? :P
2010-05-29 [Kaimee]: *Grumbles* But I totally wanted to expand further on that elftown publishing agency idea... :P
2010-05-29 [Eyonic]: o.O why is mine no longer there?
2010-05-29 [Yncke]: I think because it wasn't following rule 7: All images must be uploaded to Elftown. (Which is a pity, I liked your imaginary friend. :) )
2010-05-29 [Eyonic]: o.o oh, well i wish they had told me. I have it uploaded both here and on deviantart, it was just easier for me to find it there then to dig through my art wiki
