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.
