Portfolio Contest

2006-10-19 [Viking]: Yep...there's one =P

2006-10-19 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: *looks down and pokes floor with her foot*
I...i like chocolat...i...i realy do....

2006-10-19 [Linderel]: I want you to have the ten images of the given themes and two freely chosen themes, yes. As for the portfolio... It counts as one of the pieces, in addition to the twelve others, so yeah, I guess I want you to design them.

2006-10-20 [Angelic nightmares]: -offers Jadala*(Once upon a moment) some chocolate-

2006-10-20 [Teufelsweib]: sorry, long time since I responded :P
with step out I mean quit the contest half-way, if needed :/

2006-10-20 [Linderel]: Eeek! I don't know about that... :S Only if it's a real emergency that you're quitting for. :P But, well, as long as you have half of the work done, you'll still be in on the judging.

2006-10-20 [Teufelsweib]: hmmm... I won't dare then, I don't want to screw up your contest (too bad though, I really like the idea! :D)

2006-10-20 [Linderel]: It wouldn't screw up the contest, I'm just thinking it would be a shame to take part and then withdraw. :3 But the decision is yours.

2006-10-20 [Linderel]: Eight more people and we're good to go. :3 *wibble*

2006-10-20 [Cia_mar]: still considering joining but like slavork, i would not want to have to drop out later if i found i lacked the time!

2006-10-20 [Blaithin]: I wouldn't have entered but since it's a theme a week I should be able to find time. Mind you, I'm not entering the art section which would take more time.

2006-10-20 [shotokan_gal]: I was thinking along similar lines, but since the contest is at least 10 weeks long...? I know I wouldn't be able to submit photos every single week anyway, because I'm not likely to finish a 36-exp film every week (it would cost a slight fortune for one thing), but I'd still be able to get all themes complete by the end of the contest (fairly sure anyway, will try to my best ability). Would that be a problem? :/ If so I'll drop out, but I like the idea of this, like the 10 days of photography but I haven't been able to enter that one for above reasons.

2006-10-20 [Linderel]: As long as you have all the pieces, or at least half of them, turned in by the final deadline I'll give after posting the last theme, you'll be fine. :)

2006-10-20 [shotokan_gal]: Ok thanks ^^ I hoped it would be, and I definitely think given the length of time I should be able to get at least a photo for each theme. Hopefully a choice of a few naturally...

2006-10-20 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: *accepts chocolate from angelic*

thank you ^.^


I'll be doing this I think...

2006-10-20 [SeLoCeS]: where are all the artist hidding lol

2006-10-20 [Linderel]: I don't know. :S That's what I'm wondering, too.

2006-10-20 [Linderel]: Of course I don't mind! It's good to advertise contests so that they get participants. :P

2006-10-20 [SeLoCeS]: cheers i hope we get a full house here soon <(^v^)>

2006-10-20 [Bliz]: heh...I can't promise I'll always get it in on time, but I'd like to try >> *waves to seloces* long time no see ^^

2006-10-21 [Linderel]: Yay! :D

2006-10-21 [Sahraminkukka]: ^_^

2006-10-21 [~Lady Morgana~]: I hope I will be able to do the design ... but who won't try won't have success, right?

2006-10-22 [SeLoCeS]: yay four more people and we are ready to go <(^v^)>

2006-10-22 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: yes, we're almost there ^.^

2006-10-23 [Linderel]: Dude. I had a dream about this contest last night. o_O

2006-10-23 [Elegy - gone]: First sign of obsession, dearie *pats*

2006-10-23 [Linderel]: *bites hand* Never pat me. >:|
Oh, I've had Elftown-dreams before, but they weren't so specific as this one. :P I even remember that supposedly, [Ocean Soul] was the last to sign up. :P

2006-10-23 [Elegy - gone]: Haha, we'll just have to wait and see if you're clairevoyant or not then =P

2006-10-23 [iippo]: I've had ET dreams too, about the Council-people making me eat horrible food as an initiation rite.

2006-10-23 [Linderel]: Eeek. o_O

2006-10-23 [iippo]: What, you didn't have to eat that? Grr, I've been had! It's not a tradition after all!?

2006-10-24 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: *is dismayed* I'd never do it, I'd order a pizza and sit by my none counciling self enjoying every bite.

2006-10-24 [iippo]: I can't afford pizza... :(

2006-10-24 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: Go to sorry I cant think of it right now there is a complete phsycotica idotic iggnorant jerkass asshole in here right now and she wont shut up I'll tell you when I can think hopefully she'll get stabbed in the throat and will lose use of her vocal cords... -glares at idiot-

2006-10-26 [Linderel]: The four places stay empty still... >:/
More advertising is in place, I guess.

2006-10-27 [Jitter]: I badly want to join but I'm in a not so artsy mood
:( I will join and let's pray for my inspiration's recovery :)

2006-10-27 [SeLoCeS]: welcome jitterbug im here just to do my best i wouldnt call myself a great artist but it will be fun anyway :)

2006-10-27 [Jitter]: :) fun is the 1st reason I compete ;)

2006-10-27 [~Lady Morgana~]: Yay! Jitter is here :D

2006-10-27 [Cia_mar]: i may as well join too!

2006-10-27 [~Lady Morgana~]: Yaaay!!! :D :D :D

2006-10-27 [Linderel]: Eeee, only two slots to be filled! *bounces*

2006-11-01 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: two more slots two more slots

2006-11-01 [Linderel]: Yeah... *pokes ET* Come on, I know there's two more people who want to participate in here somewhere.

2006-11-01 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: -giggles- Hmmm...maybe I'll advertise it in my wiki....

2006-11-01 [Sherya]: If I had the time, I would, but... Too much work at school right now :/

2006-11-01 [Linderel]: Well, the contest will take weeks. How long is your definition of 'right now'? :P

2006-11-01 [Janouk]: I could try but I'm more a photography person ^^

2006-11-02 [Sherya]: About five weeks :P

2006-11-02 [Linderel]: And this contest will last more than five weeks. Your excuse is not valid. :P

2006-11-02 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: ahhh you're 'peer preasuring' sherya!!! lol

2006-11-02 [Sherya]: I know, it's ten weeks :P But you missed my point.

2006-11-02 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: Maybe you could pretend its extra credit?

2006-11-02 [Linderel]: Ten weeks + an as of yet undetermined number of extra days. But why don't you tell me what your actual point was? :P

2006-11-02 [Sherya]: School -> Time. As I said, school takes my time for five weeks now. That leaves me with five weeks (+ few extra days) for the contest. I don't want to participate when I have the feeling I wont make it in time :P I would dissapoint myself and you.

2006-11-02 [Linderel]: Oh well. Such is life.

2006-11-02 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: Sherya makes a point. If she (I'm guessing your a she sorry if yer not!!!) feels she wont do a good job then the chances are she probably wont.

2006-11-02 [Linderel]: Aye. :P

2006-11-02 [Sherya]: (You guessed right :). It's sad, but spit happens. Maybe next time :P Gah, I feel like I'm being torn apart! *goes to think of something*

2006-11-03 [SeLoCeS]: im beginning to think maybe we should just stick with 8 for the art one and just start the contest wiki before everyone forgets about us here, but then again its not my wiki so up to you Linderel

2006-11-03 [Linderel]: I've had that in mind. If we don't get the two remaining slots filled before Sunday evening, I'll start off next Monday.

2006-11-03 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: yaaaay! -tilts head and grins- thats superb!!

2006-11-03 [Linderel]: Keep advertising, though. :P

2006-11-03 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: Don't worry, I shall hehe

2006-11-04 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: yesss, all we need is ONE more!!

2006-11-04 [Angelic nightmares]: One more person, and we can start. Yay!

2006-11-04 [I'll be there]: Can I join?

2006-11-04 [~Lady Morgana~]: Yay!

2006-11-04 [sequeena_rae]: Oh shit, we're on xD

2006-11-04 [Elegy - gone]: Whoohoo! :D

2006-11-04 [Angelic nightmares]: we got enough people! -throws a party with lots of hugs and free chocolate-

2006-11-04 [~Lady Morgana~]: Yaaay for hugs and chocolate! :D

2006-11-04 [Linderel]: Yayyyyy! :D I'll post the first theme tomorrow morning, that okay?
I wasn't clairvoyant, though. Damn. :P

2006-11-04 [Elegy - gone]: Hehe, too bad... good for the rest of us though, wouldn't be fun if you could see our artwork before we posted it x)

2006-11-04 [Cia_mar]: um.... i will not be here till monday... how long between themes?

2006-11-04 [Elegy - gone]: A week between each theme and then until the final deadline to finish them all, if I've understood correctly.

2006-11-04 [Linderel]: Yup, that is so.

2006-11-04 [Cia_mar]: ok

2006-11-05 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: duuuuuuuude, yeeeessssss. Right onnnn!
(yeah, I'm a surfer, sry bout that hehe)

2006-11-05 [Azuri]: Wweee! this means the contest can start^_^

2006-11-05 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: finally hehe

2006-11-05 [Linderel]: Soooo.... We have a theme, and you have your participant wikis on each sub-category page. Get working! :D

2006-11-05 [Elegy - gone]: You had to pick that theme, didn't you? >.<

2006-11-05 [Linderel]: Why not? :o

2006-11-05 [Elegy - gone]: I am very confused about home and what my home really is =P I will have to do some soul searching =P

2006-11-05 [Linderel]: That is kind of the idea. ^_^

2006-11-05 [Elegy - gone]: ... bah on you >.< =P

2006-11-05 [Linderel]: *giggle* Sowwy. :P

2006-11-05 [Sherya]: It wouldn't be so much fun if it was easy :P

2006-11-05 [Elegy - gone]: Would too *pouts* through I might have found the theme more agreeable if I hadn't moved around my whole life =P I think my home is where my suitcase is >.>

2006-11-05 [Blaithin]: Then draw a suitcase ;)

2006-11-05 [Linderel]: Aws. :P

2006-11-05 [Elegy - gone]: Hm, my suitcase is pretty... it's red! :D

2006-11-05 [Sherya]: Sounds cute! :3

2006-11-05 [Elegy - gone]: 'Tis ^_____^

2006-11-05 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: o.O

Why not draw a suicase standing up right, part of it open so you can see in and there is a family inside infron of a fire, with a little couch, a cat and some children?

2006-11-05 [sequeena_rae]: Hmmm, home :3

2006-11-05 [Sherya]: Home sweet home ^_^

2006-11-05 [Kelaria]: My dorm room is my home now :P

2006-11-05 [Linderel]: For myself, the saying "home is where the heart is" holds true... My home is with my dearest friends. :)
Oh, and thanks, [Elegy - gone], you inspired me with my Nanowrimo novel by making that red suitcase comment. xD

2006-11-05 [sequeena_rae]: *sings heartbeat* >_> <_<

2006-11-05 [Kelaria]: Hmmm... maybe I'll just photograph my whole school :P My heart is here ^_^ and it's much cleaner from the outside than my dorm room currently is XD XD lol!

2006-11-05 [Skydancer]: As a gnome might say, Home Sweet Shroom. :)

2006-11-05 [Sahraminkukka]: [Linderel], I was thinking about the same expression when I saw the theme :O

2006-11-06 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: I havent got a home....

2006-11-06 [Angelic nightmares]: Home? I'll try.

2006-11-07 [sequeena_rae]: You know for the themes...How many are you supposed to submit for one theme?

2006-11-07 [sequeena_rae]: Also, are we allowed to manipulate? o.O

2006-11-07 [shotokan_gal]: NOTE: No photomanipulations allowed, except for a little tweaking (e.g. adjusting of brightness/contrast) and adding of borders.
:P (it's on the other page)

2006-11-07 [sequeena_rae]: Oh, err, bugger? xD

2006-11-07 [shotokan_gal]: Hehe X) no advantage over cg illiterate people like me!

2006-11-07 [sequeena_rae]: Teehee xD

2006-11-07 [Linderel]: Just one image per theme, Squee, but if you really want to, you can submit several... Although only one of them is going to count in the judging. xP

2006-11-07 [sequeena_rae]: Hmm, Nah, I'll stick to one xD

2006-11-07 [Linderel]: Also, everyone remember that you are to submit two more images on top of the ten with given themes. The themes of the two additional images are up to you. ^_^
And don't forget the portfolio image, either...

2006-11-07 [sequeena_rae]: Oh yesh :P

Hmmm, oh yah! *ponder ponder*

2006-11-07 [Cia_mar]: i best get to work on this one!!!

2006-11-07 [shotokan_gal]: Took some pictures for this theme on the end of a film, so with luck (if I like them >_> ) might actually get them up this week.

2006-11-08 [iippo]: Could links to the personal portfolios be added to this page too after the usernames? :3

2006-11-08 [Linderel]: Ah, good idea. I'll take care of it soonish. ^_^

2006-11-09 [Azuri]: Yay! I finished my class so I'm free to actually work on this! *dances*

2006-11-09 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: I'm almost done..I hope its good..

2006-11-09 [Azuri]: Yea I'm surprised on how well Ive learned to use my tablet here lately *is so proud she can ink with a tablet now*

2006-11-10 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: *pats azuri on the head* good job! lol

2006-11-12 [Linderel]: Then for something easier. ;)

2006-11-12 [Sahraminkukka]: Hum, is it allowed to change a picture from a past theme if you get a better one? Not that I have one, but in case for the future.

2006-11-12 [Linderel]: Sure. Up until the final deadline, you're free to change any of your submissions.

2006-11-12 [sequeena_rae]: W00t! Still life!

2006-11-12 [Teufelsweib]: ah, I so regret not entering this contest XD it seems so much fun :3

2006-11-12 [Linderel]: Awws. :3
I might do another round, if there's enough interest. xD

2006-11-12 [Teufelsweib]: here is one! :D

2006-11-12 [Linderel]: :D
Now I only need to find 19 more people. :P But, I can worry about that later, let's see, after a couple of months... :P

2006-11-12 [Teufelsweib]: hihi ^^ well, next time I shall advertize is more as well then :) perhaps that'll help a little...
but why talk about the next one while this one just started! :O
I really like Elegy's, Morgana's and Squee's portfolio's already ^^

2006-11-12 [Linderel]: Yahs. I am eagerly looking forward to what everyone will come up with for each of the themes. :)

2006-11-12 [Teufelsweib]: both themes that are there now are very wide, you can do everything with those ^^

2006-11-19 [Linderel]: Wakey wakey!

2006-11-19 [Teufelsweib]: oh, that's an interesting theme! :O I wonder what people are going to make out of that ^^

2006-11-19 [Kelaria]: No kidding :P I'm at a loss! XD this is going to take much thought...

2006-11-19 [sequeena_rae]: Hmm, I have an idea >.> *runs*

2006-11-19 [Kelaria]: lol!!! Darn... :P hehe ^^

2006-11-19 [Azuri]: *sighs* I still need to find time to work on the pictures *dies*

2006-11-19 [Angelic nightmares]: I'm not gonna be back home till the 29th. So I wont be able to post any pictures until then. I hope its ok?

2006-11-19 [Linderel]: Yes, as has been said, you'll be fine as long as all your submissions are in by the final deadline which will be ages from now... :)

2006-11-19 [Angelic nightmares]: Ok. Thanks.

2006-11-20 [Elegy - gone]: Bah, if I know myself right, I'll end up drawing like five of the images the last week >.>

2006-11-20 [Azuri]: Lol, Ill do them all the last week and a half XD I have an idea for this one and one in progress for the first one and the second one done. Im so glad we were studying still lifes in class >D

2006-11-26 [Linderel]: Confused about the newest theme? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/amok

2006-11-26 [iippo]: ... "a psychic disturbance characterized by depression followed by a manic urge to murder"...? Oh my, I obviously need to take a picture of my puppy for this :P

2006-11-26 [Azuri]: Lol I don't know what I'm gonna do for this one, I have pictures started for the other themes but O.o

2006-11-26 [moira hawthorne]:   1. In a frenzy to do violence or kill: rioters running amuck in the streets.
  2. In or into a jumbled or confused state: The plans went amuck.
  3. In or into a uncontrolled state or a state of extreme activity: “This jam-packed area of Honolulu has come to stand for tourist development run amok” (Ila Stanger).


xmas shopping in a mall anytime after dec 8th... speacial on the saturdays... or 22 to 24th

2006-11-26 [Azuri]: Lol so true, or Xmas day with 4 kids XD

2006-11-28 [Ocean Soul]: Mh.. so, why am I not watching this? ><'

2006-11-28 [Linderel]: [Ocean Soul]: You were supposed to be the last one to sign up. I had an Elftown-dream about it. :P

2006-11-28 [Jitter]: /pokes Ocean

I'm glad she doesn't compete against me tbh xD

2006-11-28 [dayah]: yeah, ocean is intimidating with her overly talented art..lol..*hugs*

2006-11-28 [Ocean Soul]: :( I had too much trouble with my real protfolio at the time :( Gah, stupidness :(

2006-11-28 [Linderel]: Aww. :/ Well, if there's enough interest, I'll be arranging another round after this one's over. ^_^

2006-11-28 [Azuri]: Hehehe ah sometimes I love my job, its has inspired my picture for this theme XD Its very aptly named Revenge of the Clerk XD

2006-11-28 [Linderel]: o_O Now you've got me curious...

2006-11-28 [Azuri]: Lol, If i ever went crazy while at work, its what Id do XD *goes to upload it to her house*

2006-11-29 [Linderel]: I just realised today, that when we get to next year, it'll be confusing. xD Since I've been putting up the themes by week of the year, not by week of the contest. :P

2006-11-29 [Cia_mar]: just go back and edit them to read week one ...week two ect

2006-11-29 [Linderel]: Mmh. Probably should. I apologise to anyone that has to do extra work because of this. <_<
I actually only listed them like that from the start so that I could keep track of it, myself...

2006-11-29 [Cia_mar]: nah... it is ok... i need to get to work on these i am glad that we can work on them as we feel the inspiration to do so....

2006-12-03 [Linderel]: And again, new theme. ^_^ Another a bit more traditional one...

2006-12-03 [Azuri]: Crap i still havent finished the other ones XD *dies*

2006-12-03 [Linderel]: Aww. *gives cookies* 'Tis okay, you still have plenty of time. :P

2006-12-03 [Azuri]: *eats cookie* Msh I know, at least I have pictures all planned up and just in need of inking and coloring.

2006-12-03 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: Self portrait, group portrait, portrait of someone else?

2006-12-03 [Ocean Soul]: Portrait includes all of these, I would say. It seems to be a rather open topic ^__^

2006-12-03 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: Okay. Thanks

2006-12-03 [Ocean Soul]: But then I'm not the person who decides upon this, so I wouldn't swear that what I just said is absolutely true for this contest >>

2006-12-03 [Linderel]: [Ocean Soul] is correct. ^_^

2006-12-04 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: lol okay

2006-12-05 [Azuri]: Hahah I win again! School so just helped me with this contest again! I had to do a portrait in class^_^

2006-12-10 [Linderel]: Dun dun DUN. Just for clarity, you can choose to portray one or the other, or both, in your piece for this theme. Entirely up to you.

2006-12-11 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: Niiiice I'll have fun with this one...

2006-12-11 [sequeena_rae]: I like this weeks theme o.O

2006-12-11 [Azuri]: Me too, its spiffy

2006-12-17 [sequeena_rae]: You'd think that the new theme would be pretty easy for me, seeing as I live in Wales. Funnily enough, it isn't xD

2006-12-17 [Linderel]: Hehe. :P

2006-12-19 [Bliz]: oops...O.o...i knew there was something i'd forgotten about *sweatdrop* i totally forgot i entered this, i'm really sorry. been crazy busy lately, I've not drawn a single thing >>
I guess i should withdraw, since I'm so far behind. sorry...^^';;

2006-12-19 [Linderel]: Please don't. D: You could still catch up. Of course it's your decision, but you don't have to withdraw...

2006-12-19 [sequeena_rae]: Yeah, I've missed a few themes because of my illness and other stuff, but it'll be fine to catch up! Go on, you know you want to :P

2006-12-20 [Azuri]: hehe I finally have something finished for this contest XD I totally cheat and use my school homework alot. I think Ill use my final for week 6 but Im not sure what im doing for week 7 O.o

2006-12-20 [~Lady Morgana~]: I've been incredibly slow as well, my head's full of ideas but I am missing the time right now >.>

2006-12-22 [SeLoCeS]: im just glad i managed four out of the seven so far I hope i can catch up soon I thought i was behind but looking around i think i may be in the leading group of getting these done and lol cause i know im slack it really suprised me

2006-12-22 [sequeena_rae]: I'm only missing three too, I thought it was much more than that o.O

And we have waaaaay too much fog down by me, so I will so be taking advantage of that today *teehee*

2006-12-23 [SeLoCeS]: haha i just started my black sheep one and yeah i know i havent done chaos or Freedom/Captivity but im getting there which one are you doing Sequeena_rae

2006-12-24 [Linderel]: New theme. ^_^
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/plant

2006-12-25 [Jitter]: ooh plant! heehee nice!

2006-12-25 [moira hawthorne]: wow thats a word with many interptaions!

2006-12-25 [Linderel]: Which is exactly why I chose it. :3
I was thinking something along the traditional 'flower' at first, but this brings more variety while including it. ^_^

2006-12-25 [moira hawthorne]: I have such a punny idea.. ... hehehehehe
