The 30 Day Contest

2007-02-18 [Linderel]: *stalkerage*

2007-02-18 [iippo]: :B Huuzay! (z0mg, 4 watchers!)

2007-02-18 [Yncke]: Yeah, I really like the idea, so I'm curious about the results. (But I'm stuck with a "I can only scan in the weekend", so technically, you should only count 3 watchers. )

2007-02-18 [Linderel]: The mental debate was an extremely short-lived one.

2007-02-18 [Teufelsweib]: is there an actual theme to follow every day..?

2007-02-18 [windowframe]: No, any theme you want, just so long as you draw something every day.

2007-02-18 [Teufelsweib]: or take a picture, photography is also allowed, no?

2007-02-18 [windowframe]: As it says in the rules, yes. I'm just not going to type out 'draw something, or carve something, or take a photo, or paint a picture, etc' every time.

2007-02-18 [Teufelsweib]: oh, you can always copy+paste it then ;)
what about saying 'submit some art daily' instead of drawing, to be more specific?

2007-02-18 [windowframe]: My copy and paste is taken by far more important things. ;) Plus the effort of going to the top of the page to copy and paste it into a comment, when most people who've read the rules aren't going to get confused by my lazyness is well, too much. :)

2007-02-18 [Teufelsweib]: I read the rules, I was wondering if I got them wrong then since you only were mentioning 'drawing'. and the rest is up to you for being so easily triggered when I asked for clarification.

2007-02-18 [windowframe]: *blink* I'm sorry, I thought the ':)' was a universal friendly face? I never accused you of not reading the rules, so I find your comment somewhat confusing. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'triggered', or what is supposed to have triggered me. O.o;

2007-02-18 [Levoton]: I once had a "1000 drawings in a year"... okay, twice. :P That makes almost three drawing per day for twelve months. Beat that.

2007-02-18 [windowframe]: Did you manage every single one? O.o

2007-02-18 [Levoton]: I got the goal through the first time. :) The second time a dropped it in the middle due to a long and severe depression which kills your creativity better than anything.

2007-02-18 [windowframe]: I sympathise... <.< Now I shall try and beat you by drawing... four things a day! ha-ha! Did you notice a huge improvement by the end of the year?

2007-02-18 [Kachichan]: This was actually my new year's resolution... so far I'm failing, so an incentive is <3.

2007-02-18 [Levoton]: Well, actually... no. My skill seems to grow rather steadily. <_<
Well, it's about what you mean. I dare say I've come a long way in a short time, but I don't see clear symbiosis with the amount of pictures in a year and skill. It's more about the time.

2007-02-19 [BlackDragon]: Does this include things at BlackDragon's self-made stuff?

2007-02-19 [iippo]: Humm, good question. Because with craft, you usually follow instructions to do something (like the pearl crocs), so it's kind of like copying? But then again, drawing from reference is kind of like copying... o.O I'd say yes, craft counts as long as it's done in that one day... What do you reckon Silvie?

2007-02-19 [windowframe]: I'm w/ you on this one.

2007-02-19 [iippo]: So yes, any kind of crafty creative thingamadoodah is included under 'pumpkin carvings' and allowed. :3 With the obvious adment that it has to be done during that day it is entered.

2007-02-19 [BlackDragon]: okay! I'll join just for fun. I don't really think I can make something creative (that also looks nice) every day... but I'll try to!

2007-02-19 [herrschneemann]: I'll be happy if just one of my entries will look nice =P

2007-02-19 [Linderel]: Same here. <_<

2007-02-19 [Ocean Soul]: Awwww.... should I sign up? >>

2007-02-19 [herrschneemann]: Ooh great, I was scared all the other participants were art champions =)

2007-02-19 [herrschneemann]: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss ^-^

2007-02-19 [Linderel]: *blink* Me? Art champion? *rolls on the floor laughing* I wish.

2007-02-19 [herrschneemann]: That makes two of us then =P It'll fun participating with someone of my level (not that I have seen any of your drawings so far, so I can't tell <<, >>)

2007-02-19 [Draugluin]: Nope. My artistic talent so far stretches to a moomin and other junk. I'm hoping this is a chance to improve and have some fun ^^

2007-02-19 [Ryo-Oni]: Where do we find the elftown time?

2007-02-19 [Yncke]: On the top right, above the mood box.

2007-02-19 [Ryo-Oni]: It is amazing that I never noticed it...hmmm. I'm so unobservant. Still, this seems like a nice little challange, or should I say 'big challange'. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should chip in.

2007-02-19 [Draugluin]: Go for it! XD

2007-02-19 [Ryo-Oni]: I'll give it a try.

2007-02-19 [Linderel]: That's the spirit! :D

2007-02-19 [Rennie]: this sounds like a lot of fun! Are we to have specific things to draw everyday, or just whatever we feel like?

2007-02-19 [windowframe]: Whatever you feel like. :)

2007-02-19 [herrschneemann]: Is fanart alright from time to time?

2007-02-19 [windowframe]: Oui.

2007-02-20 [Falx]: Cool. Do they have to be colored? Or is a pencil sketch okay? If we know ahead of time that we won't be able to make a couple of the days, should we just take the point loss? I only ask because I have a Math Counts competition on the 9th and 10th and I wont have access to the internet.

2007-02-20 [iippo]: Colour isn't a necessity, no. :) But it shouldn't be a half-assed scribble either... There's a golden middle there somewhere that makes the difference between sketch and drawing. But plain pencil is acceptable since you can make finished drawings with pencil (I do too).
And I don't think there's any reason for missing a day that'll save you from the point loss, because the difficulty of this challenge is that life does get in the way of it, and that's what we're trying to overcome... So if you know you'll miss a few days for whatever reason, then you really just have to take the point-dockage, I reckon.

2007-02-20 [Rennie]: as much as I would love to and wanted to do this contest, I just looked at my schedule for next month *aagh*! I will try the next time around :)

2007-02-20 [Ocean Soul]: I don't even know yet what's on the agenda for next month... I fear it might be tough to keep up, but since I haven't drawn much in the last months, I figured this would be a chance to start all over again.

2007-02-21 [Forever Equine]: How do we post the images...in a wiki and label the day?

2007-02-21 [windowframe]: One wiki for everyone to post their pictures on for each day, and at the end of the day, elftown time, the wiki will be locked.

2007-02-21 [herrschneemann]: When will it be opened again? :O What if we do our drawing for that day reaaaaally early in the morning =P

2007-02-21 [windowframe]: Each day will be on a separate wiki, So the next wiki will open as soon as the one for the previous day closes.

2007-02-21 [herrschneemann]: That's a lot of wikis :O

2007-02-21 [windowframe]: Only 30. O.o

2007-02-21 [herrschneemann]: ooh right, one wiki per day for all the participants. That's still thirty though! :O

2007-02-21 [windowframe]: Exactly, not too many, O.o For Champion's Tournament we have to create over 100 pages. :P

2007-02-21 [Forever Equine]: Thanks for telling.=)

2007-02-22 [Elegy - gone]: Gods, I just know I'm going to end up killing myself over this, but I can't help joining >.>

2007-02-22 [Linderel]: Yaaay!

2007-02-22 [Elegy - gone]: Hehe =P

But I do have one question, are entries you start one day and finish the day you wish to enter them allowed?
