2006-02-03 [Quellealcar]: hm... i'v got a picture done, all i have to do is scan it.

2006-02-04 [dimmu_borgir3212]: Anyone like mine?

2006-02-04 [ArkyLarky]: Mine should be up by tomarrow. <3

2006-02-04 [Dragonartist]: So my picture was removed cuz it needs to be an elftown url?

2006-02-04 [ArkyLarky]: Guess so.

2006-02-04 [Dragonartist]: Oh ok just wondering, I will try again then. ^_^

2006-02-04 [ArkyLarky]: XD Works now!!!

2006-02-04 [Paz]: I'm working on mine... It's almost done being sketched :)

2006-02-04 [Sunrose]: Cute one Erin! *^_^*  I think this Valentine's contest is going to be tough! :o

2006-02-04 [mesaana]: Yay managed to upload it properly (to ET) this time! First attempts on the full page - so guess its OK its on the this page, don't want someone thinking I entered the same pic twice!! :) 

2006-02-04 [Atayemi]: Ohh wow Erinbabe's is cute! :)

2006-02-04 [Rennie]: aww fanks ^_^

2006-02-04 [Atayemi]: I can't draw dragons at all. :P

2006-02-04 [Bobolama]: Photoshop is allowed ?

2006-02-04 [iippo]: Certainly.

2006-02-05 [Ashoka Virlym]: here?

2006-02-05 [moira hawthorne]: yes

2006-02-05 [moira hawthorne]: I thought photograghy wasnt allowed?

2006-02-05 [Sunrose]: Fixed :)

2006-02-05 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Dewd, I wish I could work on photoshop. ._.

2006-02-05 [Elisha Kelly]: get Gimp instead

2006-02-05 [Atayemi]: Hehe yeah...you have some tutorials don't you Elysiann?

2006-02-05 [Zab]: Yep..:P And so do I ;)

2006-02-05 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Okay. Thanks.

2006-02-06 [moira hawthorne]: are we gonna to inforce the Valentine theme rule at all? just b/c it has two characters on it... doesnt mean it is about Valentines...

2006-02-06 [moira hawthorne]: at least 11 of these on this page have no connection to valentines....

2006-02-06 [Mr.Scoop]: It depends on what the people are doing...

2006-02-06 [Duredhel]: Didn't know it had to be about romantic love, if the comp is only about romantic love and no love in general feel free to remove it. I thought Valentine's day was about love (all kinds of love) and friendship, not people making out.

2006-02-06 [moira hawthorne]: I said a valentines theme... did I say people making out?

2006-02-06 [Duredhel]: That seems to be the general agreement around here, very well then, tell me what the Valentine's theme is to you so I can know what criteria you're using to say some entries don't belong.

2006-02-06 [moira hawthorne]: Im asking the people running the contest... since it was them that said the enterys had to have something to do with the theme Valentine day

2006-02-06 [Duredhel]: yeah but you did say at least 11 entries in this page had no connection to valentine's day, so I was wondering. Valentine's day is about love and friendship, so, for me, anything that is clearly related to love or friendship has something to do with the theme Valentine Day. Some random pic with a heart shape slapped on top doesn't, but people might disagree, that's why I'd rather ask first ^_^, sorry If I came out a little defensively at first.

2006-02-06 [Leara]: Anything that doesn't fit the theme will be removed eventually, more than likely, as it is in every other contest. No point in getting worked up over it.

2006-02-06 [moira hawthorne]: just if it is later than sooner than people cant replace or adjust their art to be suitable...

2006-02-06 [Duredhel]: I'm with Moira in that one, if it is removed now, people might still have time to work on another entry.

2006-02-06 [Mr.Scoop]: Last one's clever but I don't know if it's going to be accepted....it clearly says on the main page that images that depict violence will be removed...so I don't know where they draw the line.

2006-02-06 [Lunnie]: Lawlz! Dur you put up Zahi! XD

2006-02-06 [iippo]: Remember that in some countries Valentine's Day is actually Friend's Day (as Dur pointed out).

2006-02-06 [Sunrose]: There is no actual theme to this contest. The only thing that was asked is that it should have something to do with Valentine's Day. In my opinion that includes love and friendship. I think all the images currently on this wiki provide this in an enough amount to be accepted. Of course the more clearly the connection is, the better chances you have at winning. I remind members that this is a contest meant to be fun, not to be turned into some kind of battlefield. Just because Valentine means something to one person, doesn't mean it can't mean something else to another. Now I would only like to request [Jade Lee] to submit a better quality image or I will have to remove it.

2006-02-06 [shotokan_gal]: oops... *hastily hides rocket launcher behind back* >_>

2006-02-06 [Zab]: XD Nice saving Shotokan..:P // Lovely entries, everyone! :P

2006-02-06 [Matevus]: well said Sunrose lol XD

2006-02-06 [shotokan_gal]: XD I'm still supposed to be making an entry. It's started, though whether it gets finished soon enough is another matter.

2006-02-06 [Zab]: I'll try to make a better one..not really satisfied with this, but I can't decide if it really is bad or if it's just me..XD

2006-02-06 [shotokan_gal]: It's just you :P

2006-02-06 [Zab]: Thanks..:P

2006-02-06 [Matevus]: I like ur sky

2006-02-06 [The all powerful Midori]: hehe I like your pic Matevus... its nice to see a little comic relief among all this romance.

2006-02-06 [Matevus]: hehe thanks, I can't help myself =P

2006-02-06 [kay-chan]: Yeah, I liked [Matevus]'s pic. ^.^

2006-02-06 [Leara]: Do I put my second entry on this page, or as entry 'B' under my first one, on the first page? @_@

2006-02-06 [Sunrose]: Since you can edit the page either way, you can just put it on page 1 :P

2006-02-06 [Leara]: okies O.O

2006-02-06 [Kyrinn]: [LittlePooch] I do beleive your entry is in the wrong place...

2006-02-06 [Kyrinn]: oops... nevermind.. :P

2006-02-07 [Matevus]: cheers =P

2006-02-07 [Kyrinn]: I like the Cupid in training one.. I guess every Cupid has to have good aim right? 

2006-02-07 [Fireheart2233]: Thanks for fixing that, [Sunrose]... I was about to do it myself but you beat me to it.

2006-02-07 [Bobolama]: 2e try :) al photoshop work now !

2006-02-08 [ArkyLarky]: Finally got mine, hope you like! <3

2006-02-08 [Angelic nightmares]: What is so wrong wtih the quality of my drawings?

2006-02-08 [Paz]: Oh! [Fireheart2233]!! I love your entry :D

2006-02-08 [Fireheart2233]: Thankees, [Paz]... and I can't wait to see yours colored, it rocks as is!

2006-02-08 [Paz]: If I can get my lazy arse into gear and finish it before the weekend XD

2006-02-08 [shotokan_gal]: I don't think it was the quality of the actual drawing [Angelic nightmares], more the quality of your webcam image, where it wasn't very clear. Even in your entries here, you can see the background behind the paper :/

2006-02-08 [moira hawthorne]:
53. "cant live without you" - [Dragonartist]... also shows the ring binder..

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: Crud...only 3 days to finish!! It's not nearly done!

2006-02-08 [raynesprite]: man Im sooo gonna lose XD these entries are so good ^^"

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: Gah! I wish there was a little bit more time....

2006-02-08 [Sunrose]: [Angelic nightmares]: You can't see the drawing well enough. You have to get a better image of them. If you keep submitting the images I have been removing, you will be banned from submission. // [moira hawthorne]: You can see the ringbinder, but you can also see the image very well.

2006-02-08 [moira hawthorne]: but the rules say... Please put forth your best effort and the best quality, i.e. no drawings on lined notebook paper. Any such entry will be removed. Also, scan your images if at all possible. ... and if line paper or showing the background of the table in the photo are considered reasons for the art to be removed.. than showing the ring binder, which is also not part of the art... therefore is 'background' is not puting your best effort... I just think the same rules should be applied to everyonme... it should be fair... if one person art get removed for a rule than all the art that displays the same problem should be removed...

2006-02-08 [Sunrose]: I did not talk about background, now did I? I talked about the quality of the image, whether you can actually see the image or not. That was why the rule was made and I think [Dragonartist] meets the requirements and [Angelic nightmares] does not. Whether you agree to it or not.

2006-02-08 [Elisha Kelly]: hey this is supposed to be a valentines contest... share the love people *pounces on [Sunrose] Group hug!*

2006-02-08 [Matevus]: I think cupid must have killed someone else XD

2006-02-08 [Sunrose]: *is pounced upon* xD

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: Cupid? Murder? I don't want to know. Lol

2006-02-08 [Iseld]: doesn't something like this happen every time? why must we fuss so much over this? it's a fun competition...there aren't any real prizes, just fun little badges for your house. why are we complicating this with silly little arguments blown out of proportion?

2006-02-08 [Elisha Kelly]: oh so true... join the group hug :D

2006-02-08 [Iseld]: lol, i distinctly remembering something like this happening in the christmas photograph comp

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: ...? -Looks at the group hugging-

2006-02-08 [Elisha Kelly]: EVRYONE group hug... drags [eyes of frost] into the hug

2006-02-08 [Iseld]: why? you jealous? wanna hug frost? lol

2006-02-08 [Sunrose]: The problem is we don't want to just give away badges for free (because everyone should put equal effort in and because we don't want to spend our free time badging someone who didn't earn it), so that is why entries are being removed: we have to draw lines somewhere. But official contests are also great ways for new members to get involved and so, as I said before, these contests shouldn't be turned into some kind of battlefield making it a sport getting entries removed. That is what mostly was annoying me..

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: Ack! *Ish dragged and then melts* Awww....no not jealous just...curious...

2006-02-08 [Elisha Kelly]: *squeee... Squishy hug! SQueeeze!*

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: ....Awww.....*tries to get away to go back to drawing her cupid*

2006-02-08 [Iseld]: i know, i understand having to remove things and rules are necessary...lol, i'm mostly teasing about people arguing over them like it's the oscar going to pewee herman for best new musician.

2006-02-08 [Matevus]: Wait a minute! the winner DOESN'T get and award ceremony?!

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: Lmao. Anywho....have a question: Why does everyone picture cupid in a diaper?

2006-02-08 [Matevus]: mines actually a cloth covering his cupids arrow

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: Lol. Well I was just wondering. It seems like even the little sticker's you get for the windows have cupid in a diaper...

2006-02-08 [Elisha Kelly]: prolly cause he looks cute as a baby... or that he is so bloody old he has developed imcontinence...

2006-02-08 [Matevus]: maybe because he ment to be a child isn't he? or a baby.... either way he still small so they prob think he "cuter" if he was in a diaper. Thinking about it now it kinda messed up that a baby with wings flys around shooting people with arrows, so they'll get jiggy with someone XD

2006-02-08 [moira hawthorne]: I just think the rules shoul;d be applied fairly...

2006-02-08 [eyes of frost]: Lol. Yea.

2006-02-08 [Sunrose]: Which in my opinion was done, as explained. You can't use someone elses comments against me. Thus discussion closed.

2006-02-09 [eyes of frost]: So sunrose, is the winner going to be announced on Valentines day?

2006-02-09 [Sunrose]: I hope so, that is what we're aiming for. But there are a LOT of entries :/

2006-02-09 [The all powerful Midori]: Yahoo!! i bet it'll go to [Rennie]

2006-02-09 [eyes of frost]: Yea...-look up and groans- Gosh i would hate to be you when it comes time for judging...-Pats her on the back- But I hope all goes well.

2006-02-09 [Kyrinn]: Numbers 82 and 83 are only loaded partly for me. Is anyone else having this problem?

2006-02-09 [Angelic nightmares]: Loaded party here too

2006-02-09 [Kyrinn]: hmmm, odd.. Not sure why it is doing that..

2006-02-09 [Paz]: They aren't even loading for me :\ 

2006-02-09 [eyes of frost]: They loaded for me...

2006-02-09 [Paz]: I get about 1/8 of the image and then it stops loading...

2006-02-09 [eyes of frost]: I get the whole thing...Sorry guys...

2006-02-09 [Kyrinn]: Same here, [Paz]... Sunrose, do you have any idea why they are doing that? As far as I can tell, they are uploaded to ET..

2006-02-09 [Paz]: And they have the .jpg after the name of the image >.>

2006-02-09 [Kyrinn]: There. Now they are all loaded. Still odd...

2006-02-09 [eyes of frost]: GAH! I am sick of little kiddies messaging me asking me to cyber!!!! GRARG!!! Do any of you have that problem?

2006-02-09 [Elisha Kelly]: don't have that prob... they must read the rules in my house... rule I Don't cyber :P

2006-02-09 [eyes of frost]: ...GAH! -wants to maime every little kid who messages her- Sometimes I wish I was a guard then you can send them a message saying: "You have offended a guard...blah blah blah"...lol.

2006-02-09 [Kyrinn]: Put a little disclaimer at the top of your bio, that way if they come asking for cybering you can bluntly point them to that and tell them to go screw around with themselves in the dark.. ^^

2006-02-09 [Lakayana]: entry 83 just xplains mi... waoh! She is far away but I will just have to make it down there on that day. Bi girl, dont bother dont cry am on my way. happy valentine Bi i'll sooon be on my way

2006-02-09 [Dark Side of the Moon]: I love entry 78 by [evilhamster]! Very sweet!   Oh, and [eyes of frost], it helps if you put the disclaimer in BOLD letters. I've had very few problems with unwanted visitors by making my house rules very clear and easy to see.

2006-02-09 [Lilith666]: ENTRY 69 awesomeness.

2006-02-09 [eyes of frost]: Thank you great people! *Huggles them all to peices*

2006-02-09 [iippo]: Easiest way to get rid of cyberer-annoyers is to just ignore and block them. Just delete the message and it's like it never happened. o.O

2006-02-09 [eyes of frost]: Disclaimer is on my house now...muahahaha...

2006-02-09 [Sunrose]: [Angelic nightmares], another problem has been pointed out concerning your entries. Your entries are traced images of original art done by another artist. It is good that you try to practice drawing, but we can't accept such images for a contest. I am therefore forced to remove them again.

2006-02-09 [SephirothFFVII]: [SephirothFFVII] I hope my work does pretty well, because this is the only pic I could get uploaded.

2006-02-09 [Elisha Kelly]: ooh purdy pixie!

2006-02-10 [Sunrose]: Moira, could you re-upload your second entry? Because you made the filename end with 3 dots, the link keeps being messed up in the poll I am preparing :(

2006-02-10 [pixish]: :P Thanks you *^_^* You already know what I think of your entry ;)

2006-02-10 [Acceber]: Woooooooo, I entered! XD

2006-02-10 [Quellealcar]: i like entry 64, good job person.

2006-02-11 [Master Fio]: i like 66

2006-02-11 [Lady-Dia]: i liked 58

2006-02-11 [Dragonhearted elfgirl]: Thanks [Lady-Dia]! :D

2006-02-11 [ghostiegirl]: Ummm...How do you make your pics small and then when you click on them they open up another window and become larger??? Or should I just not bother????

2006-02-11 [Yncke]: When you insert your image, you use the img300: tag. (Hit edit this page en imitate the others. ) (Thanks, [Master Fio] :) )

2006-02-11 [ghostiegirl]: Okay...

2006-02-11 [akhirah]: crap, tis the 11th today, missed it u_u

2006-02-11 [5thwitch]: ....In extremis..sorry I'm always in late....

2006-02-11 [Yncke]: It's still in time, so I don't see any reasons to apologise. ;)

2006-02-11 [Kyrinn]: I like Snake Charmer. ^_^

2006-02-11 [5thwitch]: :D

2006-02-11 [Elisha Kelly]: I can't believe the amount of entries...

2006-02-11 [Kyrinn]: WOW [5thwitch] yours just loaded for me and its awesome! 

2006-02-12 [kay-chan]: I think a lot of these are really possum (slang for awesome).

2006-02-12 [Elisha Kelly]: hee hee... I think so too. Especially mine :P hee hee. actually my fav is on page 1. :P but there are so many good entries, it will be a hard choice to pick a winner.

2006-02-12 [kay-chan]: I pity the people who even have to pick ten out of these beauties. Mwahaha. They have their work cut out for them. XD

2006-02-12 [Elisha Kelly]: I know... hmmm I don't even know what 10 mine would be... yikes!! 10 per page maybe, but just 10 :P

2006-02-12 [Channy]: thanks Kyrinn =3

2006-02-12 [Elisha Kelly]: nice [Mom]

2006-02-12 [Sunrose]: The contest is closed! I'm sorry for not closing it on time, an hour before the deadline Elftown went down and since that was 12 am my time I decided to go to bed.

2006-02-12 [Sunrose]: [Channy], your image was not uploaded to Elftown and therefor removed from the entries. Post a proper Elftownlink today and I will include it in the crewpoll.

2006-02-12 [5thwitch]: thank you [Kyrinn]! there's a lot of talent showed in this contest...

2006-02-13 [ArkyLarky]: Good luck everyone! >w<

2006-02-13 [5thwitch]: thank you!! I wasn't lucky but I waiting for the winner
