FantasyC~Ccontest

Hosted by [kay-chan]

Here is your chance to face down a challenge! Enter the FantasyC~Ccontest. What does FantasyC~Ccontest mean? Fantasy Characters or Creatures Contest!

And with all good things, this too must end.

Winners:

First place: [Kuruni]

Second place: [Kaimee]

Third place: [moira hawthorne]

Administrators favorite: [Asrun] (This was really hard for me to choose... There were SO many good artists here. But for some reason, I kept coming back to [Asrun]'s. I figured this was telling me something.)
<img:stuff/asrunbadge.jpg>

Thank you to all who participated, you guys are awesome to the power of infinity!

The Lovely Rules

1. This contest is for fantasy. Your entries must be fantastical. This can be set in nearly every place imaginable, past to future, as long as supernatural elements are involved. That is what fantasy is: fiction characterized by highly fanciful or supernatural elements.
a. This means: people in medieval clothing are NOT fantasy. There is nothing fanciful or supernatural about chainmail. If the person wearing chainmail, however, had wings, then he/she would be allowed.
2. Your own artwork, please. Tracing, as well, is not allowed. Fanart shall be kept to a minimum: say, 1 entry maximum of fanart per person.
3. Maximum entries per person: 3. You may also enter in art that has previously or is currently in another art contest, as long as the person running the other art contest also allows this.
4. All mediums and styles are embraced (except for modern art. We hate modern art. No red dots that are supposed to mean something. Arrr!).
5. Nudity, strong language, violence, all that stuff is actually allowed. But no porn. We do not appreciate pornography and neither does Elftown.
6. Do not have fun. Having fun is AGAINST THE RULES. With the powers vested in me, I forbid it. (X3)
7. Rules subject to change at any moment. They might even be changing right now.

Here is a participation badge for all ye who entered here!
<img:stuff/partbadge.jpg>

Poll Goodness!
Rules for Voting
1. No soliciting votes. If I catch you asking for votes in your diary or mood or anywhere, you will be automatically disqualified. And if everyone on your relation’s list is suddenly voting for you, we’ll… “talk.”
2. Don’t vote for yourself. That’s lame. There was a farmer had a you. And Lame-o was its name-o.
3. You CAN advertise that we’re voting now. Just don’t say ‘vote fer meh!’
4. Good luck! (That was less a rule than a statement or a wish, but since it’s down here, I guess it’s mandatory that you have good luck. Sorry.)

Prize: A prettyful badge created from your art (prettyfulness not guaranteed), and gift art for the first-place winner of the poll.
Judging tactic: there will be a poll to decide first, second, and third (ties will be broken by moi), and a [kay-chan]'s favorite so nobody complains about the polls. [kay-chan]'s favorite might not be totally decided by [kay-chan] if she gets the help of outside friends. Rawr.
Love: freely given.

2006-01-31 [Jitter]: I don't know! I used to do less details than I do now!

2006-01-31 [Cia_mar]: i think i get impatient now since i have a life now...

2006-01-31 [Jitter]: It's because I have a life I'm more patient now. :p Me and [Rochala] (my fiance) live in different towns.. Hence the patience ;p

2006-01-31 [Strangeling]: oh my!! these are ALL so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am sooo lovin it! : he, i know it's so rude to ask, but you all have such good art, that i was wondering if any of you take art requests? and being told no, does not keep mefrom repeating: ALL THE ARTWORK ON HERE IS THE SEXIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! muahahahaha......lol :) *gives impish grin n then scampers off*

2006-02-01 [Cia_mar]: requests?...hmmm... sometimes....

2006-02-01 [Kaimee]: Nope, I only take commissions and even then I'm often rude and reject them for very little reason :P

2006-02-02 [Duredhel]: Hahhaa XD well that sure helps my decision-making a lot :P

2006-02-03 [Kaimee]: If it helps, I really like the coloured one ^^ But the line work on the others is amazing....

2006-02-07 [Duredhel]: I gotz a kwestion ^^' http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/stuff/I%3AWallpapergrad.jpg <- is that fantasy? (as in, would it be allowed in the contest?)

2006-02-07 [kay-chan]: Well, it does look like she's performing magic, and her clothes and the floating book seem to suggest the same, so I don't see any problem with it.

2006-02-07 [Asrun]: yesh, the 'h' word.. :( I always have HMWK.. I have like 5 illustrations due this week. ;__;'

2006-02-07 [Cia_mar]: nice addition [Duredhel]... what program did you use

2006-02-07 [Duredhel]: Done from scratch in photoshop

2006-02-07 [Cia_mar]: great job!!!!

2006-02-07 [moira hawthorne]: like your other creature better... it was by far the more creative creature of the contest...

2006-02-08 [Duredhel]: I guess I could put it back up instead of one of my other entries.

2006-02-08 [moira hawthorne]: I d like to see you colout him and the top one.. the anime girl is good... but .. just not as unigue... the dark knight has at least cool armour...

2006-02-09 [kay-chan]: The deadline... has been set! It's March 8th, which is like a big amount of weeks away from today. And any suggestions for a prize, I'm willing to hear them... Limitations: I do not have more than $20 on me (US currency) at any given time recently. Try to be considerate of that, at least...

2006-02-09 [moira hawthorne]: the norm is a badge.. particpate.. 3rd 2nd and 1st place... for the very generious... the contest owner gives out art requests drawings...

2006-02-09 [kay-chan]: I can do badges. For the talent in this contest, art requests would be redundant on my part. Maybe I could grant the winners the priveledge of giving ME an art request...! >:D Heheh, okay, I'm lying. But I can definitely do badges.

2006-02-09 [moira hawthorne]: you drew the two charys on your page? ... they are fun... why wouldnt someone want a drawing of their chary of choice drawn like that.. I would if I won...

2006-02-09 [Elisha Kelly]: hmmm <.< >.> miiiight have to enter... will see.

2006-02-09 [Kuruni]: <_<......>_>..... :D

2006-02-09 [Cia_mar]: i like the style of your knomes... good job[Kuruni]

2006-02-10 [Dil*]: Not sure if mine fits the bill of 'fantasy'...but if it doesn't, I'll use it as a placeholder.

2006-02-10 [Jitter]: [Dil*] I think it fits and it's an awesome piece. Well done

2006-02-10 [Asrun]: How is magic not fantasy Dil? :p Silly girl.. It doesn't need pointy ears to be fantasy.

2006-02-10 [jsun]: I guess that makes mine fit too! :)

2006-02-10 [Cia_mar]: [jsun] ooh ya colored it! awesome!

2006-02-10 [jsun]: :) Thanks! Coloring is not really my best skill though

2006-02-10 [moira hawthorne]: awesome image jsun

2006-02-10 [jsun]: LOL thanks Moira! I just made the same comment about one of your pieces in another contest! LOL

2006-02-10 [moira hawthorne]: yes Im wiki hopping... I have still about 20 updates to check on ... saw your home cool stuff you got there... need to check out your website yet

2006-02-10 [jsun]: lol that's funny because I just updated my home 15 seconds ago

2006-02-10 [Cia_mar]: we are a strange breed around here.. eh?

2006-02-10 [jsun]: lol yeah

2006-02-10 [moira hawthorne]: [kay-chan]... the wiki is seriously *burping* trying to load this large images... I think we need to thumbnail them... <img200: or <img300:

2006-02-10 [kay-chan]: Yeah, I was just thinking that. (I say that to save face. XD But I seriously was thinking that! Honestly!)

2006-02-10 [moira hawthorne]: [Kuruni] all your images are wonderful... speacially love the 3rd...

2006-02-10 [Kuruni]: [moira hawthorne] thank you! ^_^

2006-02-11 [Kaimee]: If you thumbnail mine to the wrong size though, the resolution is either enlarged to uglifiedness or the GIF background is ruined :( Maybe you should just thumbnail any that are over a certain size? Note that as someone who runs contests I would say a reasonable size to be 400-500. If you're going to properly thumbnail everything so that they load fast (and so that the correct resolutions are not shown) put everyone at equal disadvantage and put all thumbnails at some small size, like 100. Please?

2006-02-11 [kay-chan]: I love you! ^.^; Okay... Yeah, I was worried about yours, but at that moment I was too busy to check afterwards. So yes, now I am equally unfair to all participants. Mwa. Ha. Ha.

2006-02-11 [Veltzeh]: My thumbnails are smallest!

2006-02-11 [jsun]: Well, I guess it really is just my opinion but I think 100 is too small. 200 would be better because now you have to click on everysingle image just to get an idea of what they are first. Oh but I'll hush up. It sounds as if I'm complaining :)

2006-02-12 [kay-chan]: [Veltzeh], stop ego-ing! :3 And [jsun], I realize that point is very valid, but making the thumbnails 200 now might badly mess up some small pieces, and more importantly, it would be a lot of work. And first, I must sleep. XD (I'll see how they look at 200 later, maybe, unless someone else objects.) :P

2006-02-12 [Elisha Kelly]: *starts drooling* better grab a life buoy [Kuruni] cause that mermaid is so drool worthy!

2006-02-12 [moira hawthorne]: I think 200 is good... I cant see why it is too someone disadvange more than aother persons's... 200 you can see the image enought to know what it is... when the page loads over and over and over again as each person put new art in... and we are all gonna look and drool over the art at full size! two little clicks and there is is in all its glory as the art intended!

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: 100 is fine I think, Mine don't really need to be centered now though so I'm going to uncenter them :P I still think thumbnailing things is silly... maybe once the contest was over thumbnailing is sensible, just to keep them stored neatly... but heck, anyone clicking on a link to an art contest should know that it's going to have a lot to load, and if people can't be bothered waiting they can just press 'stop'. Easy peasy :P Ack well, it's not my contest, so I"ll shush :P

2006-02-12 [kay-chan]: Hee, I was just about to say that 'people with dialup hate downloading contests' when I was in the middle of reading your comment. But seriously, it doesn't matter. Not really.

2006-02-12 [Dil*]: I think minimizing the images was a great idea....it annoys me greatly to wait for a big page to load (I'm an impatient clod, I know).

2006-02-12 [Elisha Kelly]: me too... if I see one that looks good I click on it for a better look.

2006-02-12 [moira hawthorne]: ET has been having troubles lately ... so its not just the time it took to load the page... and with people chatting in the comments... you are loading the page alot... but the larger images were getting broken up... and even refreshing the page and waiting for it to load again wasnt working... I look at each new piece at full size.. as it is placed in... but if ET wont load the image than I cant see it at all!... and other people have been having the same problem!

2006-02-12 [Elisha Kelly]: I can't even get on Et somedays... since the last downtime.

2006-02-12 [moira hawthorne]: I hope what ever been causing it gets fixed! Ive been sing dead or alive far too much..

2006-02-12 [Jitter]: Yep. I also couldn't get on last night. [Kuruni] I just saw this o_0 AWESOME!/bows

2006-02-12 [Kuruni]: [Jitter] and [Elisha Kelly] thank you!! ^_^

2006-02-12 [Asrun]: Very pretty. :D You should try rendering your work without the black lines, I think you'd be really good at it
