Hello boys and girls. How ya doing? That's just great. Hey, do you know what troubles me? Spending all night laboring over some new artwork, only to post it online and get nothing but silence. What is with that, huh? Aggravating, ain't it? I know it's made me want to destroy the world on more than one occasion.

So I got to thinking, I bet there's some comment exchange wiki out there on elftown. Then I realized it's probably dead. Then I realized how long I'd have to wait for my laundry to finish, so I decided to make one of my own.

To Join:


Make a wiki called "Voila Their Name" (example Voila Aeolynn). On said wiki they place their newest artwork. In other words, there will be only one image on the wiki at a time. Everyone who joins this page must comment on everyone else's art. We will do this on the honor system, since some people might not have anything to say. If I see someone not commenting repetitively I will message you, and after a warning I will remove your page from this list.

Everyone should be watching everyone else's page. When they stick up a new picture, comment. End of story.

FAQ:



What if I'm gone from ET for a while and am unable to comment?
TELL ME! Me as in [Aeolynn]. Or, you know, comment on this wiki. I'll keep track of how many artworks you've missed while you're out and I'll just count them as being commented on.

Can anyone join?
YES. Well, you have to be an artist, otherwise it would be pointless. If you're not an artist and you just want to help comment... I love you. But you don't need to make a voila page if that's the case. Please feel free to comment though.

So if I don't comment enough, I'm booted off this page forever?
I will give you ONE chance to redeem yourself. Maybe this month is busy, but next month won't be. However, if you screw up for at most 2 months, you're out. You can still hang around, but you have to delete your voila page and people won't have to comment on you.

What type of comments should we give?
Anything from praise to constructive criticism. No being mean or I'll boot you. Since these works are potentially going to be finished or mostly finished, the stress isn't on criticism. Something like, "Wow! That's really cool!" is good enough, but only if you mean it. This wiki is meant to provide a reward for working hard on your art. It's not an art help wiki. Focus on giving praise unless you spy something off. If you see someone commenting "That's awesome!" try to come up with a comment that is not reiterating what the last person said!

What if I'm rarely updating art?
As long as you keep commenting the gaps between new submissions can be as long as need.

NOTE: Please, when you put up a new image, say "new image" or something in the comments so I can keep track of what comments relate to what image. Thaaaannk you!

2010-04-01 [Teufelsweib]: even though I barely have time to make art myself nowadays (*gives real life a kick*), I'd love to help out commenting. mainly because I know the pain you mention in the first paragraph, and I often had to almost beg to get some criticism. so! :D

2010-04-01 [NOOOPE]: Sweet!

2010-04-02 [Daisy_Sandybanks]: Ohh, great idea! I'll get on it. :)

2010-04-02 [NOOOPE]: YEAH! Someone besides me!

2010-04-02 [Chel.]: *headbutt*

2010-04-02 [Aeolynn]: Mine's gonna look sad without a ! at the end of it XD

2010-04-03 [Chel.]: Haha!

2010-04-04 [Aeolynn]: lol... we all wannabe M and Chel XD

2010-04-04 [Daisy_Sandybanks]: Alright, mines up! :D
I forgot the little (!) on mine as well, hah. Oh well.

2010-04-05 [NOOOPE]: I've started a trend... (!)

2010-04-05 [NOOOPE]: I just realized that since some artists may be putting up more art, more frequently.... other people will have more comments then them because a lot of potential comments will be their own work. I needa rethink my system....

2010-04-05 [Aeolynn]: Maybe limit it to one drawing a week?

2010-04-05 [Yncke]: Perhaps it would be practical that when de artist uploads a new image, s/he puts some sort of clear delimiter in the comments, so that it's clear that the comments before that are not about the piece that is up?

2010-04-06 [NOOOPE]: OK! I changed the rules a bit. The number by your name is the number of artworks you haven't commented on. Check the Voila Stats page to see what you missed. Most likely, the pic you didn't comment on is still up and you have a chance. I will also wait a day after people have posted their pic to start pointing out who hasn't commented.

2010-04-06 [NOOOPE]: Also, just stuck this up there, but I'm putting it down here as well-

NOTE: Please, when you put up a new image, say "new image" or something in the comments so I can keep track of what comments relate to what image. Thaaaannk you!

2010-04-06 [Chel.]: Are you sure about doing all that? It just seems like a lot of work on your part, M...

2010-04-06 [NOOOPE]: I can't think of an easier way to do it that doesn't inconvenience other people.

2010-04-07 [Yncke]: Just a thought, but be careful what you're starting, [NOOOPE], the Voila! project is exponential in comments, so it'll end up being a lot of work. Besides, the information you want to manually gather can easily be found by going through the previous versions of the wiki and look at the dates of the comments. Perhaps you can write a manual on how to do that instead. ;)

2010-04-09 [NOOOPE]: I really doubt there'll be enough members for me to actually worry. Despite advertising this everywhere it really hasn't picked up at all... Ah well, even if there's just two people at least those two people have committed to commenting on the other....

2010-04-15 [Chimes]: *pops in* I will be joining when I don't have a load of deadlines to worry about :) (so, after May)

2010-04-15 [NOOOPE]: I'm pretty much flat lining until may too.

2010-04-16 [Daisy_Sandybanks]: Mine may be extended a little longer. Im in the process of getting things ready to pack up and move, so it may be a month or two before I am back here.

2010-04-18 [nehirwen]: Featured Wiki! <img:44166_1164145171.gif>

2010-04-18 [Akayume]: You missed the ' in "won't" under the commenting rules. (:

2010-04-19 [NOOOPE]: oh wow, when did your comment happen? I shall fix. I'm also gonna fix the damn tracking system, again. Make it all easy like.

2010-04-19 [Akayume]: I'm... Not sure? o.o Recently? o.o

2010-04-20 [Duke Devlin]: Definitely joining this in the Summer. :) Or maybe just after my exams. =3

2010-04-20 [hanhepi]: this is a fantastic idea. now all i need to do is start finishing artwork so i can join. XD

2010-04-20 [Chel.]: Awesome!

2010-04-26 [pegasus1000]: starts watching.

2010-04-26 [Pnelma Tirian]: haven't had time recently but definitely joining once finals are up. ^_^

2010-05-06 [Hendercrazy]: Hope you don't mind [NOOOPE]... I've added this wiki as a related item over at the Art Wikis of Elftown wiki! :)

2010-05-07 [NOOOPE]: Sweet! No, publicity is good.

2010-05-11 [Eyonic]: so, to join we just put up our voila page there under the other ones?

2010-05-11 [NOOOPE]: yep. And make yourself a voila page.

2010-05-12 [Eyonic]: ^.^ done

2010-05-17 [arthemis_]: I've made myself one too and commented on the other ones!

2010-05-18 [Balthizar]: Define artist. <.<. Does photography count or...? >.>
I also fully understand I could very well have answered my own question.
HOWEVER. I'm tired. T_T

2010-05-18 [NOOOPE]: I know squat about photography, so I really couldn't say anything useful.

2010-05-18 [arthemis_]: I know something of photography, as I'm trying to learn the art of photographing myself. So I can probably give you some critique (if necessary) on the technique, others may be able to comment on the subject and if the picture is appealing to them or not. Even if you don't know squat about photography, you can comment on the subject, the meaning behind or if it is simply appealing or not.

2010-05-18 [Pnelma Tirian]: there. now I've joined for reals. :)

2010-05-18 [Chel.]: YES

2010-05-20 [The Dizzy Raven]: I got one too! :)

2010-05-20 [NOOOPE]: Hot damn! Things are getting busy! if only I was making art...

2010-05-20 [Falx]: And... here I am. ^_^

2010-05-20 [Balthizar]: Well, the reason I ask is if I could join, and post mah photo's :/

2010-05-20 [The Dizzy Raven]: Busy is good! :)

2010-05-20 [Falx]: There should be something like this for writing as well, methinks.

2010-05-20 [The Dizzy Raven]: for poetry and ect would be good, but I'm not sure if whole stories should be part of it. Not many people have enough time to read the work of others. maybe shortstories would work if someone DOES decide to make a wiki like this for writing

2010-05-20 [NOOOPE]: Feel free to make a writing version if you want. I'm way too impatient to read other people's stuff unless I know it's good.

2010-05-30 [Phenomenon]: Oh! I like the concept of this page. Once my exams are over and if I can get over my shyness I might try to join :)

2010-06-10 [Goma]: I think I might join x.x give me a reason to come to elftown since no one really talks to me.

2010-06-10 [Chel.]: Well that's sad....I'll talk to you! Join! :3

2010-06-10 [Goma]: thank you o.o

2010-06-10 [Eyonic]: hai goma!

2010-06-11 [Goma]: Herro!

2010-06-12 [Eyonic]: ^.^ fill goma page with less emptynish?

2010-06-12 [Goma]: done x.x made a mistake when I first did it

2010-06-12 [Eyonic]: *jumps up and down* :D

2010-06-19 [Eyonic]: I has new drawing up

2010-06-19 [Daisy_Sandybanks]: I'll be gone for the next two weeks, so don't expect any new updates or comments from me.
Keep up the amazing artwork though!

2010-06-20 [Eyonic]: totally just updated XD

2010-06-20 [Falx]: Updates!

2010-06-21 [pegasus1000]: Has a new pic.

2010-06-27 [Eyonic]: new pic

2010-06-30 [NOOOPE]: Guys, please put "new pic" on your voila page and not here... I need to keep track in your comments who commented, and if there's nothing to signal an image change in said comments it's near impossible to figure out.

2010-07-01 [Eyonic]: oh hehe okay

2010-07-07 [Daisy_Sandybanks]: Alright, Im back ... Time to get up to date on critiques and comments. :)

2010-08-07 [Aeolynn]: new!

2010-10-01 [Ravendust]: soon as I can get my newest sketches scanned I'll set a page up, and... it'd really help if someone commented reminding me to come back here later... 2 day artistic stretch minus sleep and I'm being relatively forgetful.

This is, however, an absolutely fantastic idea and I look forward to viewing others' art and having my own viewed as well :)

2010-10-01 [Eyonic]: <3 to all artists

2010-10-02 [Daisy_Sandybanks]: Splurge of new comments and art! Whee!

2010-10-21 [Eyonic]: soo, if my next drawing is still a wip, should i still post it? :3

2010-10-21 [NOOOPE]: Sure thing

2010-10-21 [Eyonic]: :P oki

2011-04-22 [Aeolynn]: Hey guys, please check out Commission Me!!! for those offering commissions! Would love for all of you to join, and it will only help you! :)

2011-04-28 [NOOOPE]: So a little bird told me people are still using this. If one of you would like to totally take over, I can hand over the page ownership to you and whatnot. You can revamp this page and do whatever you see fit.

2011-04-29 [Eyonic]: :) of course we still use it

2011-04-29 [NOOOPE]: I stopped watching so I had no idea

2011-04-29 [Aeolynn]: I'll take over if you want :)

2011-04-29 [NOOOPE]: Only if you want. Since I'm not involved and other people are I find it unfair that I still have control.

2011-04-29 [Aeolynn]: I'll be happy to :)

2011-04-30 [The Dizzy Raven]: ^_^

2011-05-03 [Aeolynn]: Have you decided yet M? I'd love a crack at revamping this place

2011-05-03 [NOOOPE]: Oh, I decided as soon as I asked. Forgot to change the owner though. I'll do that now.

2011-05-03 [Aeolynn]: oh okay thanks M :)

2011-05-03 [NOOOPE]: You don't need to go through the trouble of crediting me. I wont mind.

2011-05-03 [Aeolynn]: It's no trouble M. :) I'd rather have your name at the top, to give credit where credit is due.

2011-05-10 [Aeolynn]: Sorry about all the updates folks! Done for now tho :)

2011-05-10 [Chel.]: Cute new logo!

2011-05-10 [Aeolynn]: :D

2011-05-10 [The Dizzy Raven]: Very cute! :D

2011-05-10 [windowframe]: Is Voila Ravendust! not set up yet? Or is the link wrong?

2011-05-11 [Aeolynn]: I've been meaning to msg her, hers is Voilla Ravendust! I want her to fix it.

2011-05-11 [NOOOPE]: You can take me off the list. I have no time for art.

2011-05-11 [Aeolynn]: alrighty

2011-05-13 [Flisky]: I will join eventually. Once my art is up and running again. :)

2011-05-21 [Aeolynn]: Just want to announce to everyone this amazing contest! http://news.deviantart.com/article/151243/ Design a colossus for Rift! Check it out :)

2011-05-21 [Chel.]: It's made for you, dear.

2011-06-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: I was going to do it but I don't have much time for it. :( My job takes up a majority of my time. Real life sucks, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. lol

2011-10-26 [pegasus1000]: Is there anybody out there?

2011-10-26 [Chel.]: I am~

2011-10-26 [Eyonic]: i am :3

2011-10-29 [The Dizzy Raven]: I am! <3

2011-11-02 [Aeolynn]: I am... every 2 weeks XD no Ill be here more now...

2011-11-08 [Eyonic]: i try to be here, am hoping for a better internet connection soon >.>

2011-11-14 [Ravendust]: same here

2011-11-14 [Eyonic]: wanted to get bresnan, or whatever they're called now, but i don't want to pay for cable to get internetz.

2012-10-19 [pegasus1000]: let's see if anyone is still watching this page. I have a new pic. Up. Has anyone else done anything new?

2012-10-19 [The Dizzy Raven]: I have done little art because of responsibilities. Between the job and pets and house hold duties and ACTUALLY spending time with friends and family for once. lol. Sometimes you get sick of being a hermit once in a while.

2012-10-19 [pegasus1000]: I know how it is. I haven't really had a lot of time for a lot of art. Fortunately I can latch hook and do other things at the same time.

2012-10-20 [The Dizzy Raven]: THere ya go :) That's something at least :3

2013-01-16 [Ravendust]: my voila was with 2 l's, who changed it? :-/

2013-01-16 [Eyonic]: dunno there
