2007-01-30 [Linderel]: You came up with some of the words. :D

2007-01-30 [Elegy - gone]: I did? :D Go me then! Which words? :3

2007-01-30 [Linn Scarlett]: Kyorli = cute XD for a zombie composed out of the parts of 10 different drow, though his brain is only rudimentairy -a court jester is smarter than him :( he's like... the strawdude in Wiz of Oz XD

2007-01-30 [Linderel]: [Elegy - gone]: Kite, flowers, and zombie. :3

2007-01-31 [The all powerful Midori]: in that case thank you [Elegy - gone]!! Cause without you, all I'd have is stairs.... XD
[Avatar15]: thankyoo

2007-01-31 [Avatar15]: Your welcome.

2007-01-31 [Anvikit]: Whew, finally done.. *posts*

2007-01-31 [Elegy - gone]: Ooh, I'm pretty awesome then >.> those are clearly the best words! <.< =P

2007-01-31 [Avatar15]: >.> It doesn't have to be colored, right?

2007-02-01 [Kahri]: Can I put in a place holder with a description so nobody does something the same thing?

2007-02-01 [moira hawthorne]: even if they do it wont be the same...

2007-02-01 [Kahri]: Yeah I guess. Well, then I'll just hurry and colour it and get it scanned.

2007-02-01 [Sienta]: Oh! I love yours [stuffAEAmade]. It made me go, "Awwwwww", then look in the background and laugh my head off. Mine is really crappy compared to all these, but I will enter it anyways!!! Unless by some miracle I get a better program before the deadline. It could happen....

2007-02-01 [Avatar15]: XD I didn't even notice the background before. >w< Not ALL of it. xD I fully agree~! :)

2007-02-01 [BinaryPhoenix]: That's soooo cute [moira hawthorne]! Fluffy zombie kitty!

2007-02-01 [moira hawthorne]: THX U ... I felt inspired... HaPPY iMBLOC... ooooo me tired...

2007-02-01 [Avatar15]: *laughs* I could tell.

2007-02-01 [moira hawthorne]: I draw childhood like gnome... he thinks World of Warcrack!

2007-02-01 [Avatar15]: *glomps you* AWA~!! Yet another person who calls that game "World of Warcrack"!!! I LOVE YOU! :D

I'm debating on weather to add a chibi gnome in mine. =/

2007-02-01 [moira hawthorne]: 2 years of talkin to the back of my hubby's head as he raids! and quests... damnstraight!
and now with burning cursade out he wants to level up all his charys to 70...

2007-02-01 [Avatar15]: o_o;

2007-02-02 [stuffAEAmade]: Thanks, [Sienta] and [Avatar15] =3

2007-02-02 [Avatar15]: Your very wlcome. ^-^
Do bleeding hearts count?! :D

2007-02-02 [moira hawthorne]: count as what? zombies?

2007-02-02 [Avatar15]: Bleeding Heart Flowers. =/

2007-02-02 [Linderel]: If they're flowers, they're flowers. :P

2007-02-02 [Avatar15]: xP Of course. I know that. :3
They just look more like hearts on a tree. ^^;

2007-02-02 [Linderel]: Well, just make a note, then. :3

2007-02-02 [moira hawthorne]: your art is intriging me... i cant wait to see it

2007-02-02 [Avatar15]: I was planning on it. x3
Is it really? How so?

2007-02-02 [Sienta]: You're very welcome [stuffAEAmade]. You deserve all the praise you get. ^_^

2007-02-03 [Avatar15]: Is that a gnome eating chocolate?!

2007-02-03 [Kahri]: Yeah. He got into like 4 or 5 boxes and if you look at the slight bulge to his tummy you can tell that he ate it ALL.

2007-02-04 [The all powerful Midori]: woot for him ^^

2007-02-04 [Kahri]: Why do I bother. I mean, I try to be nice and conversational and every time I do, someone is rude or sarcastic to me.

2007-02-04 [Forever Equine]: I don't think they were meaning to be sarcastic hun.

2007-02-04 [Kahri]: What else would you call it?

2007-02-04 [moira hawthorne]: interest

2007-02-04 [Forever Equine]: Casual banter?

2007-02-04 [Iseld]: jealous that i didn't get the chocolate?

2007-02-04 [Kahri]: Yeah, sorry, I was just in a really bad mood, I had done nothing but homework all day. Sorry about snapping.

2007-02-04 [Lothuriel]: *hugs* It happens dearie. Sometimes it is hard to tell someone's "tone" when online!! Adorable by the way! I love him!

2007-02-04 [Kahri]: Thanks.

2007-02-04 [Forever Equine]: I've had so many of those instances.XD

2007-02-04 [Lothuriel]: Saaame here...

2007-02-04 [The all powerful Midori]: O.o was that directed at me? because I wasnt being sarcastic, I was cheering him on!

2007-02-05 [moira hawthorne]: that is sick and funny!

2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]: Mine?

2007-02-05 [moira hawthorne]: yes! poooooor zombie boy.. now he is also being laughed at... girls are cruel

2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]: Yes, indeed they are! LOL...I am thinking of redoing this one in traditional methods. I was bored and tried coloring it with some little generic paint program I have. Eh, just have to wait and see if I get the time...
\
Oh, and thanks by the way!

2007-02-05 [Kahri]: Yeah, sorry for snapping at you [The all powerful Midori], I was having a bad day.

2007-02-05 [moira hawthorne]: well considering that gnome ate all your chocolate...its understandable...

2007-02-05 [Sienta]: I know what you mean... without chocolate I become something..... zombielike. And not the cute zombie. The evil I'm-going-to-bite-off-your-head-and-steal-your-chocolate zombie. I guess what I'm trying to say is- we all have our bad days [Kahri]. It's okay. :)

2007-02-05 [Forever Equine]: Cute Loth!=D

2007-02-05 [Kahri]: Thanks.

2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]: Thanks [Forever Equine]!!

2007-02-06 [The all powerful Midori]: :D

2007-02-06 [XxTsomexX]: i love #17!!

2007-02-06 [Gwenn*]: So wonderful [Kitakaze]
I find all entries very funny, it's a very good subject!

2007-02-06 [Anvikit]: Lol, thankies Tsome *thinks her's is number 17) , And yeah this one was really fun! .. hehe lotsa great new schtuffs came out of it!

2007-02-06 [XxTsomexX]: ^_^

2007-02-06 [Avatar15]: I still love number 15. >w<

2007-02-06 [XxTsomexX]: yeah, 15 is cute too

2007-02-06 [Avatar15]: Its very creative too.
You can't pass it in on the 11th, can you?

2007-02-06 [Anvikit]: Says the 11th is the deadline, so I would think that that is the absolute last day you can enter your picture in. I don't know for certain though.

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: Thanks. :)

2007-02-07 [Linderel]: That is correct - the contest will be closed at midnight ET time, at the end of 11 Feb.

And Backstreet Boys not popular outside the States... whaaaaat? xD That's absurd.

2007-02-07 [Elegy - gone]: They were like huuuge in Norway =P

2007-02-07 [Artemis Riddle]: omg Oo I loved them x) when I was 10 or something -.-

2007-02-07 [Elegy - gone]: Hehe, me too =P me and my sister used to fight over who was to have the cd in their room xP

2007-02-07 [XxTsomexX]: im coloring my entry now...

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: Me too Tsome. ^-^

2007-02-07 [Nadie importante]: couldnt the deadline be postponed a little?:( im getting photoshop this weekend...

2007-02-07 [XxTsomexX]: i dont have photoshop TT_TT I just use my coloring skillz! XD

2007-02-07 [bluefarie]: all these entries are great!!!

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: I'm using corel. =/

2007-02-07 [Angelic nightmares]: both the untouched and tweaked versions of my drawing, are on my house, and in my poll.

Untouched - just scanned
Tweaked - played around with the contrast a bit

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: Did you also draw that image of the girl and her Dragon?

2007-02-07 [kay-chan]: I have photoshop but I don't use it to color often...

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: I hear photoshop is not all its said to be... is that true?

2007-02-07 [kay-chan]: Oh, I love it... and if I had a tablet I'd use it more. It has the makings of a great coloring tool. I just personally color better by hand.

2007-02-07 [Linderel]: [Nadie importante]: No, the deadline can't be postponed. It will take a day or two with the crew poll and then another for the Mainstreet poll... if we postpone the deadline, Valentine's will be over by the time we get the winners sorted out.

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: [kay-chan]: Really? Its worth the price it costs?

2007-02-07 [Linderel]: Everyone should just use GIMP. :P

2007-02-07 [XxTsomexX]: GIMP?

2007-02-07 [Linderel]: http://www.gimp.org - It's free, it comes for Windows, Mac and Linux, and it's as good as any other art program.

2007-02-07 [Chimes]: I use GIMP, its gorgeous.

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: I've never heard of it. I'll go check it out. ^^ Thank you.

2007-02-07 [XxTsomexX]: how do you download it?! >.<

2007-02-07 [Chimes]: I find it better than some that I've tried.

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: How so?

2007-02-07 [kay-chan]: Avatar: Hehe, my dad knows someone who works for Adobe. I got photoshop for $60. :D

2007-02-07 [XxTsomexX]: meep!! idk how to download it TT_TT

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: [kay-chan]: No fair. =[
It'll tell you Tsome.

2007-02-07 [XxTsomexX]: its okay, i got it now XD

2007-02-07 [Avatar15]: I knew you would.

2007-02-08 [bluefarie]: [Orouriel] I think your picture is sooo cute!!!

2007-02-08 [Avatar15]: OH MY GOSH! ME TOO!

2007-02-08 [Orouriel]: aww, thank you ^-^

2007-02-08 [Forever Equine]: That's great [Kay Chan]!

2007-02-08 [kay-chan]: [Orouriel]: your picture is a big too big when you click on it... you might want to consider resizing it?
Forever equine: Thanks!

2007-02-09 [Atayemi]: They can be any size I think. There is no size limit. :)

2007-02-09 [kay-chan]: I know, I just have problems seeing it. :(

2007-02-09 [Linderel]: There is no size limit, but it does help to be reasonably sized. :P

2007-02-09 [moira hawthorne]: I find 1000 px to be a good maximum...
unless you really have tonnes and tonnes of small details!

2007-02-09 [Orouriel]: I'm always afraid to resize, I might screw up the quality.. Any tips?

2007-02-09 [Anvikit]: use the "save as" feature when resizing, that way you will still have the full sized version if you end up disliking the resize.

like moira said 1000px is usually a decent size, always save as a high quality image, and it sould be just fine.

its when you save pictures at low quality, or you take a smaller image and try to enlarge it, that they start to get all fuzzy looking

2007-02-09 [iippo]: You can also try save it as different formats and compare the results. JPG is the only format that loses data in resizing, so try to save as a PNG for example to see if it works better. :)

2007-02-09 [bluefarie]: "[Orouriel]: your picture is a big too big when you click on it... you might want to consider resizing it?
Forever equine: Thanks!" No, it's not... that's a normal clicking size...

2007-02-09 [bluefarie]: there's lots of pictures that are the exact same size as [Orouriel]'s...

2007-02-09 [kay-chan]: Okay, sorry... thought I was making a useful suggestion.

2007-02-09 [Avatar15]: has anyone here used Corel on there entry?

2007-02-09 [Anvikit]: I think it seems my browser window automatically resizes the overly large pictures into manageable sized ones, I haven't had a problem with pictures being too large to view. Perhaps you can use the zoom out feature to get a better look at the extra big images? er.. nevermind.. I coulda sworn there was a zoom feature.. I can't find it though.. oh well.. sorry about that..

2007-02-09 [kay-chan]: Yeah, I open it and suddenly it's like SHAZAM I can see maybe one detail of the picture, like a small bunch of flowers. :(

2007-02-09 [Avatar15]: Awwwwwwwwwww!!! I'm sorry.

2007-02-09 [Anvikit]: I use mozilla firefox and it automatically resizes it to fit on screen if the image is too large.

2007-02-09 [Lothuriel]: My Internet Explorer does the same thing....

2007-02-09 [Avatar15]: I use loli. =/

2007-02-10 [light.]: Lined paper stinks

2007-02-10 [Forever Equine]: Sorry [light.] but lined paper is against the rules under the quality guide lines.:S

2007-02-10 [light.]: Sorry X____x I didn't see that. -Will read rules more carefully next time, scampers off to remove it-

2007-02-10 [Lothuriel]: Awesome job [light.]!!!

2007-02-10 [Forever Equine]: Much better.=)

2007-02-10 [light.]: Thank you =D

2007-02-10 [Anvikit]: Ohh!! Only one day left!! *starts to get anxious* If anyones been dottling around they had better hurry up and get their entries in!!! *waits for oncoming slew of last minute entries*

2007-02-10 [Sienta]: Yup, that would be me. I'm such a procrastinator. :p

2007-02-10 [XxTsomexX]: lol

2007-02-10 [Sienta]: Gotta make that hand move..... But it really doesn't want to. *sigh* Oh well. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow...... he he

2007-02-10 [Anvikit]: well just don't wait too long! Or else it'll be too late!!

2007-02-10 [Anvikit]: [Snowflame] dear, I'm having trouble finding the third element in your picture.. I see the kite and the stairs.. but I can't find theme nessesity number three.. ??

2007-02-11 [light.]: Maybe she thought that "pink" was an element? =\

2007-02-11 [Sunrose]: (whoops, pressed a wrong button by accident :P)

2007-02-11 [XxTsomexX]: XD

2007-02-11 [Anvikit]: Octopus socks!! lol, I love it!

2007-02-11 [Avatar15]: I'm JUST finishing extra tuches. May I pass it in today? (being the 11th). I can pass it in no later than 12 midnight right?

2007-02-11 [Anvikit]: yerp, you can turn it in up until 12midnight Elftown time on the 11th.. Not exactly sure what timezone ET is on though..

2007-02-11 [shotokan_gal]: Elftown time is UTC, and is displayed on the elftown clock in the top right hand corner of the screen.

2007-02-11 [The all powerful Midori]: [Snowflame] has the flowers....

2007-02-11 [Avatar15]: Oh crap. I have no idea when that is. @_@ *checks out wiki*

2007-02-11 [Anvikit]: Midori: Yes :) I sent snowflame a message and she quickly added them in, I love giraffe's! I'm glad she got a chance to change it in time.. It's getting down to the wire now..

2007-02-11 [XxTsomexX]: lol nerves are rising fast: will they make it in time? Hopefully so!

2007-02-11 [Avatar15]: haha, oh I hope so. Although its not one of my best, I worked ubah hard on it. xP

2007-02-11 [XxTsomexX]: your a good artist anyways! im sure itll be awesome :P

2007-02-11 [MisLuck]: I just loved the zombie love picture! *laughs*

2007-02-11 [MisLuck]: Is it OK that I take a picture of the drawing and put it here as there's no way i can get it scanned?

2007-02-11 [shotokan_gal]: It depends on the quality of the image. Make sure you crop out other things in the background of the photo, and don't have the edges of the paper showing. See Photographing art for tips on how to get a good quality photo of your picture.

2007-02-11 [Avatar15]: oke, I'm posting my edited draft for now only. =/ I'm in the porcess of finishing the coloring. Is that oke?

2007-02-11 [Avatar15]: Awwww, I love number 34!! :D <3
