The Town Herald Art Corner

2004-04-11 [Ocean Dreaming]: We will ^-^

2004-04-11 [jsun]: good discussion. and I believe your probably on point with saying people should be allowed to drop a line for a wiki that fits the current theme. That would only allow interested persons to get more of what they want. My post didn't have anything to do with jesters but if it did, i think it would've been a good thing

2004-04-12 [Mordigen]: We don't exactly promote shameless self promotion on Herald pages, heh, but if it sticks to the theme, or happens to be similar or related to some degree, feel free to mention it in the comments -- anything else you want to advertise you can submit at Town Herald Classifieds and it will be listed in the Herald in it's new classified section

2004-04-12 [Mordigen]: Just to make yet another note about the Things to know before Submitting page, and how you really should check it out -- I see 2 great pieces that aren't going to make it as of now for very petty reasons that could have been easily avoided -- please read the 'things to know' page!

2004-04-12 [Ocean Dreaming]: I'm starting to think that the notes will be more effective if one doesn't just warn... :/ Which is a shame, because you're right about the pictures.

2004-04-14 [toycar]: *checks mine* phhhew. mine has where you can find it from........ i hope that was a bit of a hint for the 2 people...........

2004-04-14 [Kaimee]: *cough*

2004-04-16 [Kaimee]: hmm do you want me to make another anime banner? if i dont do the graphics myself i get them off a fangraphics sharing site im a member of, full permission from the artists and all that, the graphics are made for free use in webgraphics etc

2004-04-21 [Lerune]: Hey guys -- I removed the comment about [t6], and i hope the whole ordeal is over with. I'll keep this page on watch to make sure. 

2004-04-21 [Mordigen]: ah, I don't know how I missed that, but I couldn't figure it out lol --- Don't really think it was diserving, but alright then...

2004-04-22 [t6]: I don't understand this, I gave up a month ago until you sent me the messages and how can you expect to swear at me and make accusations without getting a reply but you clearly do because i get threatened with harassment if i make any reply at all

2004-04-24 [Kaimee]: have ppl been deleting comments or am i going insane? o .o;

2004-04-24 [toycar]: no i think they have....like i said........i THINK they have......... hmmm... ?

2004-04-24 [Kaimee]: right o .o;

2004-04-24 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: they have, I mean either Mordigen or Lerune. But they do have.

2004-04-24 [Mordigen]: I've deleted one since the whole jester contest mishap, the message lerune was referring too was the ban message about sonkem -- you haven't missed anything, lol. 

2004-04-25 [Kaimee]: i think im just going insane then ^_^

2004-04-25 [toycar]: nope.....im confused as well.....but...*shrug* thats nothing for me.....

2004-06-13 [ghostII]: when is the next art thingy....?

2004-06-14 [Lerune]: As soon as we get the Herald back on track, which is as we speak. ;o)

2004-06-14 [ghostII]: where is he then? 8(

2004-06-14 [Blue Fish]: can we vote on the next theme?

2004-06-14 [ghostII]: my question may be a bit exaggerated,............(im just asking.........) 

2004-06-14 [Kaimee]: the themes havent been chosen yet (i dont think:/) but there isnt usually a vote for all of elftown, you can suggest a theme if you'd like? :D

2004-06-14 [Blue Fish]: ok..how about frog ppl!I never seen any one say that!

2004-06-14 [ghostII]: ok.............@@"

2004-06-14 [Kaimee]: frog people? you have to remember that the theme applies to the entire next issue of the herald lol:P

2004-06-14 [ghostII]: yup

2004-06-14 [Blue Fish]: lol I know!I just though it would be a fun theme..

2004-06-14 [Kaimee]: lol i put it on the suggestions list for you ^^;

2004-06-14 [ghostII]: what about some one fighting a dragon

2004-06-14 [Blue Fish]: lol ok!its all about the fun here!

2004-06-14 [ghostII]: yeh....maybe youre right.........then what about elf people atanding around with guns.

2004-06-14 [Blue Fish]: yea I know!why can't we have frog ppl in totos!?hahah I crack myself up...8P

2004-06-14 [ghostII]: ok...totos......right.....sorry gotta go ,LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE BEEP SOUND...* BEEP*................

2004-06-14 [ghostII]: im back, how do i summit arts?

2004-06-16 [Kaimee]: *submit, and please read the page. If you had you would know that we are not accepting new submissions until work on the next herald begins.

2004-06-16 [ghostII]: i mean where to sumit

2004-06-16 [Kaimee]: i mean, you do not submit yet. There is no where to submit until we start taking submissions again which we will do as soon as possible :) if you watch this page it will tell you when we change the page so people can submit again, but make sure you read the rules very carefully

2004-06-16 [Kaimee]: make sure you read the Things to know before submitting page :)

2004-06-16 [ghostII]: k thankz^^

2004-06-30 [*DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE*]: Any word on the next new theme?

2004-06-30 [Kaimee]: Yup, it should be up really soon! we're just waiting for the go-ahead so make sure you check the page again soon!

2004-07-01 [Mordigen]: I added a note that there isn't a deadline yet, just for everyones FYI

2004-07-02 [sky]: Ooh, finally a new subject :)

2004-07-03 [Kaimee]: yup, sorry about the delay:) we're looking forwards to seeing everyones artwork! Also, you might be interested in checking out the Poetry Corner, which is open again too :)

2004-07-03 [dracos8]: okies, so were looking for a summer nights theme? k, i'm on it. i'll doubt i'll finish anything but its worth a try

2004-07-04 [Kaimee]: yay :)

2004-07-04 [Ocean Dreaming]: I'd say it was a bit closer to a rather free interpretation of Shakespeare's play ;) But tis good to be back working ^-^

2004-07-04 [dracos8]: ^ ^ i'm never gonna get anything for this. wheni draw i'm lucky if something usuable comes out. ger-ness. *sigh* but i have a good pic of what i want to do in my head

2004-07-04 [dshwshr55]: I have a picture, but it's not in my house or on a wiki page. But I'm not gonna put a pic up permanently in my house, and I don't wanna make a wiki page for just one picture...

2004-07-04 [Ocean Dreaming]: First, I'd like to rectify something. You do not need to have the image there PERMANENTLY. Just until the images are moved and the address stored. Second, please note that there are several other places to have your work submitted into the Herald. We do stress the fact that there are other options ;) And [dracos8], I'm sure everything will work out just fine for you ^-^

2004-07-05 [Kaimee]: not rectify shanra, it says on the Things to know before submitting page 'If you submit a pic, and it is not featured in a long term wiki, please keep it up in your house until the deadline', ppl who bother to read beyond the first few guidelines will notice other such querys answered throughout the page. That same paragraph continues to say 'The Herald hosts a separate wiki for work, both art and written, to be reviewed, critiqued and/or featured in the Herald. You can submit links from ANYWHERE on the web there, and are more than welcome to submit your pic there if it doesn't make it into the Art Corner -- the link is Herald Review Submission' :)

2004-07-05 [Kaimee]: maybe you should re-read the Things to know before submitting page shase?

2004-07-05 [toycar]: hehe.. i think you should put it in everypost... that is..the link to the Things to know before submitting page... maybe people will read it then...or read it more then once so and it will actually click that there are rules.

2004-07-05 [toycar]: or put it in your mood.... hmm... im tired. just ignore all comments of mine

2004-07-05 [Kaimee]: my mood is busy advertising here and the Poetry Corner! *hinthint*

2004-07-05 [toycar]: hmmmm... i think...for some reason...i might check out the poetry corner...hehhe

2004-07-05 [Kaimee]: hehe, its just this mysterious force ^^;

2004-07-05 [Ocean Dreaming]: *shakes head* It doesn't need to be in the slot permanently, as I believe was implied by the commentor, which is what I was rectifying.

2004-07-06 [dshwshr55]: I don't like the word rectify, so I made a wiki for it and other art I'll probably donate.

2004-07-06 [the Indigo]: (random person) what do you think of my piccy?

2004-07-06 [Pnelma Tirian]: well, I like it. ;)

2004-07-07 [the Indigo]: thanks! ^^

2004-07-07 [Kaimee]: ooooh i love both the new submissions! and shase, the wikis fine, just as long as we know where they are :)

2004-07-07 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: Yeah me too. great enteries. If I had time, I would have entered myself. It's a great theme we have this time. :)

2004-07-07 [dshwshr55]: I'm almost done with the one in my house. I won't get to color it though T_T So don't change the theme yet ^^

2004-07-07 [Kaimee]: the theme is related to the herald, the herald is put out (hopefully) monthly, we only just started work on this edition/theme so we wont change it for awhile yet and we'll be sure to post the deadline before that happens :)

2004-07-07 [dracos8]: okies thats good then, cus i do have a piccy started and if we still have the rest of te month i may come up with something yet.

2004-07-07 [HiddenFire]: If you would clear up just one thing for me. The artwork submited does not have to be created just for this, correct? it simiply must follow the rules and fit the theme, right? I am just checking to make certain, forgive me if this question has allready been answered in the Q&A and I overlooked it.

2004-07-07 [dracos8]: yeah that's right, if you have a pic already just enter it in

2004-07-07 [HiddenFire]: I'm just wanting to get more involved in ET. So, there is my submission. It does contain butterflies and I think it has a certain dream-like quality to it. I only hope it doesnt confuse other people into thinking dragons are part of this months theme. ^_^

2004-07-07 [Resiska]: That last entry is quite original...i likes.

2004-07-07 [Pnelma Tirian]: yes. verrae coolio.

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: thas nice. very nice, it's shaawdowy looking which adds a cool effect

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: me likey

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: i can't draw dragons, oh, by the way, [the Indigo] yer pic the fairy, very well done. i'm envious

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: thanks! ^^

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: you know, yer on every page i go to, ^ ^ i like yer art if you haven't noticed

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: Thanks! i like yours too. sorry, ive been all over the place ^_^ theres another wiki you could go to if you like contests that im the only lonely participant...(i dont think i did it right, either)

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: heh heh, i was looking at your other page, sera, as well, you do a lot of drawing. it takes me forever to get a picture to come out how i want it to

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: people complain to me. i dont draw for weeks, and when i do, i belt out about three pics every twenty minutes *sweat drop*

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: i sit on the couch or in bed or whatever for hours and in the end put down a page with either nothing or a lot of scratched out scribbles. sometimes i get lucky. usually when i'm bored to death in the back of the classroom at school. ^ ^

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: the only picture that has taken a decent amount of time is the one at my house with the pillars and the girly (love my explaination, no?)

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: kyra? yeah, i can see why that would talke a lot of time, there's a ton of detail in the pillars. i have enough troble with cloaks hoods.

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: i just learned how to do hands! thank god you didnt see any of my earlier pictures. they were pathetic -_-

2004-07-08 [HiddenFire]: Hands and feet are very difficult to do, any artist will say the same thing except for a lucky few. I still draw hands all big and trollish... but my style is evolving and I think I like big hands and feet. ^_^

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: *grin* hands o gods how i hate hands, if you notice on my girl with the fans back at the japanese anime one of her hands is still hidden. i hate hands they're so evil to draw

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: all my hands were too small. but [Infidelity's Love] taught me how to draw hands. i am forever grateful (he doesnt have any pics at his house. i only know him cause hes my friend outside of elftown]

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: you guys should come join Art ((sponsered by Tena))

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: oh. everyone i know out of elftown kind of never get on. it makes me kind of mad, although one of them really can't. actually wait, my moms on, problem is we don't have much to chat about since i see her every week. i have two houses which is why she signed on

2004-07-08 [Pnelma Tirian]: hands are easier to draw if they're close-up. from far away, for me it's impossible to make it look like fingers and not spikes. I get 1(one) decent drawing a day. that's it.

2004-07-08 [the Indigo]: i like drawing them close up, personally.

2004-07-08 [dshwshr55]: When you think about it, there really aren't that many positions you have to apply to hands. Most are simple like grasping, cluching, open, V sign ^^ With a couple exceptions.

2004-07-08 [dracos8]: i still have a lot of problems with hands

2004-07-08 [HiddenFire]: I actually have a drawing book That I found in an abandoned house that has several pages of hand and foot poses. More than one could ever possibly need. ^_^

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: yup *nods* whats the books title?

2004-07-09 [HiddenFire]: *goes to dig it out of the cluttered mess that an example of his horrific organizational skills...* it is titled "Figure Drawing, The Structure, Anatomy, and Expressive Design of Human Form, Fifth Edition" by Nathan Goldstein. It appears to me like it was used for a college class, all sorts of anatomy names are highlighted...  ... well poo, it seems to have less than I remembered! Though there are sections specifically dedicated to hands and feet, in the back there are only 6 of hand and 3 of feet... but there are a great number of other poses by two different models (male and female) and the hands and feet are visible enough for my liking. ^_^

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: mmkay ^_^ i dunno, i dont really like relying on books, cause then my art starts looking like someone else's, you know?

2004-07-09 [HiddenFire]: I use books as references. If I can see how another artist does something then I can decide how I want to go about it. In any case the models in the different poses are helpful. ^_^

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: thats how i started out, then i decided i didnt want my pictures looking like anything you could find in a book ^_^ but thats just the way i feel about it

2004-07-09 [Kaimee]: grr i hate when ppl delete their comments :( weeeell, right beforew i last commented someone asked what the new july theme was. so ha, whoever you were. grr, its just annoying because that was a really good question to have floating around the comments where other confused ppl could read it and the answer, and now its non existant -.-

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: *nods*

2004-07-09 [dshwshr55]: Um....... what's the new July theme? I'd like to know, and you'd like to answer.

2004-07-09 [Kaimee]: -.- shase. read what i said. i answered it in my second last post, but the person who asked deleted their question. There is now July theme yet as we're working on June at the moment. When the theme chagnes or the art corner is closed it will say so in the updates, whatever is in the updates is what is happening currently, regardless of month :)

2004-07-09 [dshwshr55]: I must get a kick out of annoying you or something o.o Is my arrogance mind-boggling? ^^

2004-07-09 [Kaimee]: definetely:P ill try and leave off the married couple squabbles on this page if you will though:P

2004-07-09 [dshwshr55]: Agreed.

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: youre married?! O.O

2004-07-09 [dracos8]: who's married?

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: i dont know! *runs around the room* *walks into a wall*

2004-07-09 [dracos8]: T.T i'm confused now. *cries* evertything trying to hurt my head. anywayz. i'm good

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: i shouldnt even try...

2004-07-09 [dracos8]: ^ ^ hehe, well i had fun watching you run into a wall... right before i followed you into it

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: i stubbed my toe!! T_T (actually, i did do that once. i cut my big toe...-_- now i have a scar to forever remind me of my stupidity)

2004-07-09 [dracos8]: don't worry, i've had myh share of wierd accidents, ^ ^ i got a toothpick stuck in my foot once. *shiver* it didn't hurt actually just scary though.

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: O.o that would be scary...one time i fell off my bike and scraped the entire palm on both my hands. it hurt to touch anything...-_-

2004-07-09 [HiddenFire]: I've done that. if it is sharp and lost my feet will never fail to find it. XO

2004-07-09 [dracos8]: heh ^ ^ yeah i was pushing my friend around in a rolly chair and stepped on it. *shiver again* i've never really crashed a bike, although i did flip off it once, landed in the grass and was fine though. ^ ^ my bikes been run over though

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: ah! um...lets talk about something else...

2004-07-09 [dracos8]: ^ ^ okay, how about...um. dunno, what do you what to talk about?

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: marshmallows!! ^_^

2004-07-09 [dracos8]: o.O marshmellows...wait why marshmellows. oh well, they're nice and white and fluffy and they taste good

2004-07-09 [the Indigo]: um hum. and one of my friends was a marshmallow *yup yup* but then i ate him...

2004-07-09 [dracos8]: lol, thats wrong

2004-07-10 [dshwshr55]: Heh, the day of reckoning is soon upon us.

2004-07-10 [the Indigo]: its not wrong!! he was a very sweet, kind marshmallow, and he gave his life for my hunger

2004-07-10 [dshwshr55]: Didhe ever have a choice? Didn't you stop to consider Marshmellow's feelings?

2004-07-10 [the Indigo]: yes, and it just so happened that i had swallowed his love, mary, and he wanted to be with her for all eternity (so romantic...)

2004-07-10 [dshwshr55]: Monster o.o

2004-07-10 [the Indigo]: i know. im ashamed of myself...:(

2004-07-10 [Kaimee]: oh yeah, so totally married>.> arent we shasy?:P and mondays child, did you ink any of the fae picture up there^? or is it all pencil?

2004-07-10 [dracos8]: hehe, we're still talking about marshmellows. ^ ^ i don't know where the whole married thing originated from.

2004-07-10 [the Indigo]: i used black ink to outline it O.o the rest is colored pencils. sorry, i accused them of being married earlier on.

2004-07-11 [Kaimee]: ooooh, verrry nice

2004-07-11 [the Indigo]: twas..i guess ^_^

2004-07-14 [Kaimee]: thanks for the new entry [Ittai] :)

2004-07-16 [Kaimee]: ooh wow [Madame Black] thats beautiful o .o;

2004-07-16 [Madame Black]: tee.. thanks! ^_^

2004-07-18 [toycar]: hands so cold.gahhh.

2004-07-21 [Kaimee]: nice image dracos :)

2004-07-21 [HiddenFire]: very nice... very cute... but you forgot to say where it can be found. I know it's in your house... just saying somthing before somebody cracks a whip! 0.0

2004-07-21 [Kaimee]: wow! we have helpful commenters! O.O im glad ppl are listening:P thankyou hiddenfire, and yup dracos, make sure you re-read the Things to know before submitting and make sure you add any required information you left out.

2004-07-21 [HiddenFire]: by the way, is that rule simply so that you can insure that this is about the art of Elftown? So that, someone wouldn't just spam you with art that does not appear in the ET community? Or is it for authentification purposes? *is just curious*

2004-07-21 [Mordigen]: A little bit of both, yes it is there so that we can ensure the art is about ET community itself, and not just get spammed like you said, but having images in ET does help a bit with making sure they belong to who they're suppose to ;)

2004-07-21 [dracos8]: okies, sorry, i didn't see that. i'll read tht now and fix it. and thanks kaimee and hiddenfire

2004-07-25 [*DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE*]: how do I get my Fairy pic here?

2004-07-25 [Kaimee]: you upload it to your house, copy the url (right-click over pic, properties, highlight url, right-click, paste) then you edit this page, scroll to the bottom of the text box, add your name and other required info (see Things to know before submitting) then wherever you want the image you type: <IMG:url in this space>

2004-07-25 [the Indigo]: hey [dracos8], you should enter that pic in my wiki ^_^

2004-07-25 [dracos8]: okies, which wiki is yours? theres so many of them ^ ^

2004-07-25 [the Indigo]: youre a member O.o Art ((sponsered by Tena))

2004-07-25 [dracos8]: ^ ^ i know why i'm confused, i thought this was the page i put my japanese girl on, so i was thinking that that pics already on your page. hehe, your talking about my summer nights pic. oops. i'm sorry, i got a bit confused.

2004-07-26 [the Indigo]: yuh-yuh ^_^

2004-07-26 [the Indigo]: i find its better for me to draw for contests because it makes me do better ^_^ i just drew a lovely pic

2004-07-26 [dracos8]: yep. i entered all the japanese ones i found and i only have one japanese pic. ^ ^;; sad isn't it. i really need to draw more pics

2004-07-29 [dracos8]: okies, i guess i can wait...^ ^

2004-07-29 [dshwshr55]: Can we give you ideas for a new month's theme, or is it just up to the heralders to think of something?

2004-07-29 [Kaimee]: you can always go to The Town Herald or any of the herald forums (theyre listed on the page) and suggest a theme :)

2004-07-29 [dracos8]: okies. ^ ^

2004-07-31 [Mordigen]: i am shit

2004-07-31 [Kaimee]: should we be worried oh-shit-one?

2004-07-31 [Kaimee]: is that even mordi? o .o; personally methinks tis [TanekDrachonae] o .o;

2004-08-01 [the Indigo]: gah!!! that scared me...

2004-09-23 [Kaimee]: [lady nytmare], can you please add a small note to the bottom explaining how this relates to the theme?

2004-09-25 [lady nytmare]: better?

2004-09-26 [Kaimee]: brilliant! now i hope everyone else who submits stuff does half as good a job! lol :) thankyou!

2004-09-26 [Madame Black]: I'll be adding something, but it wont be too soon. And yes, good job ^^

2004-09-26 [lady nytmare]: so it's not too bad?

2004-09-28 [the Indigo]: ooh! i will attempt to enter at some point if my scanner decides to work...

2004-09-29 [Kaimee]: and ill put up a deadline as soon as we find out what it is!

2004-09-29 [lady nytmare]: Urgh. I'm getting nervous thinking of all the good artists that are going to enter :( Thinking of taking pic down :p

2004-09-29 [dshwshr55]: Sometimes the concept is better than the art. I think you have an awesome concept ^^

2004-09-30 [Kaimee]: but [lady nytmare] not only might we only get bad art, but yours is good! also, every single submission that follows the rules and the theme is accepted and featured in the herald :)

2004-09-30 [Kaimee]: For all artists interested in contributing to the herald --- check out the Poetry Corner Contest, its for a banner for the Poetry Corner :)

2004-09-30 [the Indigo]: aiya

2004-11-04 [Kaimee]: no more submissions?

2004-11-04 [dshwshr55]: Oh!! Mine's being colored now!! Gomen nasai! T_T

2004-11-04 [Kaimee]: lol, the lack of entries so far is such a disappointment after last issues submissions.... :P

2004-11-04 [dshwshr55]: On a curiosity note, where exactly is this ezine?

2004-11-05 [Kaimee]: foolish:P The Town Herald is currently about to announce the next issue, but the other issues can be found at their wiki :) the last issue, which has not been released yet (along with all the pretty art corner entries:P) should be out any day now, if you watch that wiki you will be informed when it is :)
