Welcome one and all to Artistic Enquiries, the successor to the now defunct wiki Breakin' the Block!. I'm Issy, aka [Nocturnaliss], your guide for the day, here to make your trip down artistic lanes more enjoyable. Don't forget to keep your hands and arms inside of the carpet!


Point of this wiki:

Like its parent, Artistic Enquiries is all about 'Making a Request, Taking a Request, Fulfilling a Request'. Whether you are an artist yourself in search of inspiration, or a non-artist in search of someone to create in your stead, this wiki is for you.

Remember that art doesn't limit itself to drawings. Artistic creations such as photographs, poetry or fractals, to name but a few, fall into the Art category as well.


So you are a Non-Artist ?

Then it means you're in search of an Artist who would be willing to take your Request, and Fulfill it. Go no further! The Artists are here to grant you your wish.

Go to Artistic Enquiries - Requests to be Taken and follow the instructions there. Do keep in mind that Artists are living beings as well, and that it may take some time for them to get to your Request if life does get in the way. Be courteous and respectful, And the same courtesy will be extended to you.


So you are an Artist ?

Then it means you're here because you've got spare time and brainpower to vulunteer, and here to pick up some inspiration on your way - or perhaps you are in search of an Artist yourself, for whichever reason. You've come to the right place.

Go to Artistic Enquiries - Requests to be Taken and follow the necessary instructions there. Please refrain from Taking Requests you are not entirely certain you will be able to Fulfill.


When all is done and over with...

... then it is time to say goodbye for a while, until the next time a need arises - whether it be a need to Make a new Request, or a need to find some inspiration again by Taking a Request.

Whichever the case, don't be a stranger! This wiki cannot exist without your participation, be you Requester or Requestee ^___^

2008-03-07 [windowframe]: Hmm, i'll advertise in my diary for you. :)

2008-03-07 [iippo]: Hmm, I think I'll post a request then. :) Now, to think of something to request...

2008-03-07 [Nocturnaliss]: Oh that's so great! Thanks bunches <3

2008-03-08 [Hendercrazy]: Watching the wiki. ;)

2008-03-08 [Nocturnaliss]: Why thank you :3 <3

2008-03-25 [Nocturnaliss]: A question to all watchers: I've been thinking of trying to make things more interesting (and thus, hopefully, more lively XD) by, every 10 or 15 fulfilled requests, awarding a gift to the artist most deserving - who made the coolest piece of art, or most original, etc. I think of deciding this by poll-voting. What do you think ?

2008-03-25 [Duke Devlin]: Well that sounds really interesting to me. :)

2008-03-25 [iippo]: Agreed, it sounds good. :) Especially if it's a real gift that would be mailed to the person (international mail is so much fun!) with the possibility of opting out of the actual present if the artist doesn't want to give their adress.

2008-03-26 [Nocturnaliss]: Yes, it would be an actual mailed gift. And definitely international, as I live in Belgium XD (the country, not the US city << XD). And, there'd indeed be the possibility to opt out of the gift if you don't want to give out your address... but then, ought the gift to go unawarded, or for a new poll to be set up ?

2008-03-26 [Duke Devlin]: I think an alternative could be given, like a digital piece of art - i.e something scanned, or an actual piece made for the 'winner'. :)

2008-03-27 [Nocturnaliss]: That's a good idea. I'll have to create a new wiki page for this all.

2008-03-28 [Duke Devlin]: :)

2008-04-03 [windowframe]: I'm posting a link to Silvie's Free Art here, since it's related to this in a way - it's a chance for someone to win some free art by helping support the Featured Wiki.

As to the artists' prize, I think that's a neato idea. :) If the person doesn't want to give their actual address you could always donate to Elftown in their name. :)

2008-04-04 [Nocturnaliss]: That's a very good idea, giving some of your beautiful art so to help promote wikis... I hope more people will join it ^_^

Thanks... and, yeah, an Elftown donation in their name could be feasible, too, and I do like the idea. Thanks for sharing :3

2008-07-20 [Ramirez]: This place is very interesting, but I'm the worst person at fulfilling art requests. DX Though I'd love to keep an eye on this place to see others work. =D And maybe one day when I'm not so lazy I can invest my time in an art request. XD

2008-07-20 [Lite]: Neat idea! I'd love to join in!

2008-07-21 [Nocturnaliss]: Lurkers are welcome, [Ramirez] X3 and hey, you can always put in a Request yourself if you feel like it. You can do what you want XD

[Lite], you're more than welcome to join in :D (and I saw you already did, which is awesome XD)

2008-07-21 [Ramirez]: Okies, thanks ^^

2008-07-24 [Azuri]: New here so I thought I'd say hello on the main page and now I'm off to look about ^_^

2008-07-24 [Nocturnaliss]: Aha, new blood! Wonderful :D make yourself at home.

2009-02-19 [Nocturnaliss]: Woo, 22 watchers o.o I thought I'd leave a little message to everybody watching, as the last comment dates back to July of last year XD sorry I haven't been able to get this Wiki really going. I'd set myself the goal to roam Elftown and promote Artistic Enquiries to at least a couple of people a week, but that never really happened. Which is a shame, because I do like my Wiki XD I just hope to be able to get this baby fired up sometime soon. My only idea is to have some sort of fun contest for the artists amidst you, but I wouldn't know what to give as reward (gotta be something other than the Hall of Fame reward). Any ideas, anyone ?
