2005-08-17 [etch-n-sketch]: This sounds like it would be fun to do!! I think I'll join in... well i mean if i can find the time before 20 other people beat me to the punch...

2005-08-17 [Kuruni]: dont worry, i know the feeling, besides, this contest has been here for 2 months i think. Take your time.

2005-08-26 [Elisha Kelly]: My brain musn't be working cause I don't really get rule no.2 (which you named 1 by the way :P) but what do you mean by base yourself??? do you want us to draw ourselves as the witches, u will have to be a little more specific for me... as I said, i am having a bit of a brain malfunction o.0 :P

2005-08-26 [Kuruni]: done.... i have brain malfunction too....

2005-08-26 [Elisha Kelly]: cool... thanx

2005-08-30 [etch-n-sketch]: no entries yet? After I finish with this paper I have to write... or when I get bored of it I will start my entry... I can't believe there isnt an entry yet... LUCKY ME!! this means i undoubtedly have time to work on my entry!! now to go back to this enfernal paper...

2005-08-31 [Kuruni]: cool, but please!!! someone post and entry!

2005-08-31 [dilandau]: im still waiting for that referance site u said u would find ;P

2005-09-01 [Kuruni]: oh, come on!!! just draw Phillip, draw!!!

2005-09-01 [dilandau]: but how do i know the difference from a medieval witch and a different kind?

2005-09-02 [Kuruni]: with imagination?

2005-09-02 [dilandau]: well ill just draw whatever kind of witch i want to then. that ok? lol

2005-09-03 [Elisha Kelly]: got some work to finish first for another comp then I will get started, might take a lil while though cause I am about due to pop a baby out anyttime now...

2005-09-03 [Kuruni]: wow! good luck then! first baby?

2005-09-05 [arafel]: wow....those prizes sound amazing!

2005-09-05 [Elisha Kelly]: na, second...

2005-09-06 [Kuruni]: second what?

2005-09-06 [arafel]: baby?

2005-09-06 [Kuruni]: oh!! second baby!  I have a three year old daughter...i've been thinking about having another, but things can get really complicated if we choose to have another. It's cool to have brothers and i have 2 brothers and one little sister...but we are all so apart in age that we are like single and only children....But it's so cool i got the chance to meet these cool persons that i wouldn't change it for nothing. I can see my daughter feels really lonely.

2005-09-06 [Kuruni]: Come on come on people!!! i want those entries here for tomorrow morning!!! move!      j/k

2005-09-06 [Perplexity]: For the record, I really liked being an only child.

2005-09-06 [dilandau]: for the record, i wish i was an only child lol

2005-09-07 [Elisha Kelly]: hee hee *evil grin* I really liked being the oldest

2005-09-07 [Kuruni]: The oldest....well, you are the "example" for the rest and everything is your fault... the middle one is the one who has to go shopping and take care of the younger....the younger is the one that everyone spoils but he can also be the one everyone forgets about and he ends up using all his older brothers' used clothing, toys, backpacks and such.... but this wont happen to everybody of course.

2005-09-07 [dilandau]: in my house the oldest is the one that is spoiled and always gets her way, the middle was the trouble maker and only thinks about himself, and im the youngest that gets forgotten and ignored and gets punished for what the older kids did wrong.

2005-09-10 [Elisha Kelly]: HA! My mum was always working, so I was substitute dad for my younger brothers... poor things... hee hee. So actually I had a bit of responsibility, I was also the only one my mum really trusted to use common sense... go figure. My bros ain't much younger than me though, we had a grand time growing up.

2005-09-12 [Kuruni]: cool!

2005-09-13 [etch-n-sketch]: i have a question... where is the edt button on this page? i dont see it under the words...

2005-09-13 [dilandau]: shes right fabi. no one can enter the contest until you change that lol  press the edit button and where it says, "Editable and viewable by whom?" choose, "Freely editable" 

2005-09-16 [Kuruni]: oh shoot! thanx!

2005-09-16 [Kuruni]: i completely forgot it.

2005-09-16 [dilandau]: lol silly thing

2005-09-19 [Skydancer]: May I suggest that you reconsider the no photoshop rule? While I fully understand you not wanting to have photomanipulations, there are a lot of artists these days that do perfectly traditional work, except they paint with tablet and computer rather than paint and brush. Many folk also do not have really decent scanner capability to be able to get traditional artwork into a digital image to enter the contest with. Just a thought of course.

2005-09-26 [Thalier]: those are some sweet prizes

2005-09-28 [Kuruni]: i may consider it. I wanted to offer different choices for the price. Everyone always offer a badge and stuff with is cool, but i hope you all like this idea.

2005-09-28 [Thalier]: it is cool, i would enter except i cant draw.

2005-09-28 [Goodbye ET]: I would lik to enter!

2005-09-28 [Ocean Soul]: Me too..

2005-09-28 [Kuruni]: oh well....you win!! photoshop allowed!

2005-09-29 [Danny Zuko]: has any entries actually been made??? I dont get what you have to do!! y'know the prizes? to get them duz that mean you havwe to give out ur address

2005-09-29 [Thalier]: hmmm i wanna enter maybe i could try . . . . .*wonders*

2005-09-29 [Kuruni]: ok, if you dont trust me, wich is absolutely aceptable. the i will give you a badge if you win.         Just draw a witch with medieval clothing, or inside a house that look medieval, or anything, but must be medieval, not those crazy hags with pointed hats dressed in black with stripes silk stockins!!

2005-09-29 [Kuruni]: Witches, witches praying, doing magic, using a cauldron, getting herbs in the woods, long hair or dressed in natural things and such, a witch doing encantations, dancing under the moon, or several witches dancing....come on...use your imagination! :)

2005-09-29 [Kuruni]: Ok, get info on Wicca then. But try to find good info because some people say they adore Satan when Wiccans doesnt even think about christian characters. Paganism, Cernunnos and Cerridwen, or old celtic magic or anything related. I want people to learn more about such things and learn to see the beauty it involves, you know, what the real paganism was and why they all got burnt by the Church.  A true witch is a benevolent being that uses natural resourses for her magic. They're not suposed to go arround making harm to others, it's forbiden to harm others. There, a bit of info.  A witch is as magical as an unicorn or a dragon. Witches are iportant. Draw one and let's see your version!!

2005-09-29 [dilandau]: hey Fabi, how did you manage to get your contest advertised on main street? lol

2005-09-29 [Kuruni]: what!!? is it?  -runs to check mainstreet....-

2005-09-29 [Thalier]: i know about all that stuff, but humm, i can't really draw that kinda stuff goes really bad but hmm,

2005-09-29 [Jitter]: yay! Me first!

2005-09-29 [Kuruni]: GREAT!!! the old hag witch can stay just for the fact that is so well done!! and because is the first entry!! LMAO

2005-09-29 [Kuruni]: thanx for advertising [ally]. That was indeed awesome.

2005-09-29 [Jitter]: Don't change it [Skydancer] I like this! [Kuruni] I've spotted this competition some days ago but back then I couldn't log in properly :s Thanks for letting her stay ;)

2005-09-29 [Ocean Soul]: *agrees* Don´t change it, [Skydancer] ... looks very interesting!

2005-09-30 [Thalier]: yup, ^^

2005-10-02 [Lakayana]: hi thailer, you are almost everywhere. I thought i saw you at the Photography Contest: Hugging Photos

2005-10-02 [Thalier]: yeah, im everywhere *grins* be not mistaken, it was me in Photography Contest: Hugging Photos  go vote!!

2005-10-02 [Kuruni]: yeah go vote!!

2005-10-02 [AnGeLeYeS O_o]: sorry but... whats medieval style?

2005-10-02 [dilandau]: it means a witch from the middle ages.   someone in elftown doesnt know what medieval means?

2005-10-03 [Moonknight]: Alright, I submited something, I read you want some background, so if you don't think this goes according to the rules let me know and ill do something else

2005-10-03 [Kuruni]: you know.....  YOU ROCK!!! that piece is one of the best things i've seen in ET. Welcome to the contest :D

2005-10-03 [Moonknight]: Gracias ^_^

2005-10-03 [Elisha Kelly]: oooh! I asm so in love with that piece of artwork [Moonknight], *pouts* to good!!! :P only joking... is that computer? paint ??? how why when were!!!! hee hee. anyways... i will enter something very soon, finally had baby so can get back to the buisness of making art...

2005-10-03 [Jitter]: [Moonknight] whoa! /me feels so useless with my humble piece!

2005-10-03 [Kuruni]: nope, dont say that, everyone has their own style, i like yours a lot, and the three of them actually, i am honored to have such good pieces in my first contest :D

2005-10-03 [Thalier]: very good its coolies

2005-10-03 [Artemis Riddle]: ooh, cool contest! me wants to enter!! *runs and gets her pancils*

2005-10-03 [melperi]: i might wanna enter but i have no hope to win... and no time to do a back ground to my dear witch...buhhu!!!:(

2005-10-03 [Thalier]: hmm maybe ill try to photoshop something

2005-10-03 [Kuruni]: [melperi] why not? maybe you can find a quick way to make a background. Besides, you dont have to enter to win precisely, you can participate so other people can actually see your artwork and meet new people. This is all about ET, at least for me. Give it a try!! We only have three entries.

2005-10-03 [Jitter]: /bows thanks [Kuruni] I'm glad you like my piece :D I still think it's bad compared to the other two though ;p

2005-10-03 [Thalier]: i think a piece of art that someone took care and time doing is just as good as the next one ^^

2005-10-04 [Ocean Soul]: Mh I hope it does fit the contest.. :) it´s a brandnew piece :)

2005-10-04 [Kuruni]: WWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!! [Ocean Soul]!!!  If this contest keeps on like this, im going to have the hardest of times choosing the winner!! Fantastic!

2005-10-04 [dilandau]: i thought the winner was gonna be chosen by poll fabi

2005-10-04 [Jitter]: whoa ocean sould o_0 spectacular

2005-10-04 [Kuruni]: yes, a poll, but i have a surprise too. i will choose my favorite and give him/her a special price!

2005-10-04 [Moonknight]: I dont like the poll idea, that usually results in a popularity contest :(

2005-10-04 [Moonknight]: and by the way [Ocean Soul] woow!!! so good! *kiss*

2005-10-04 [Thalier]: yep, all the entries rule

2005-10-04 [Kuruni]: hmmmmm....yeah i almost lost to a piece that i think it was cute indeed but seriously, she has lots of friends and that's why she got many many votes. I will reconsider the poll thing too.

2005-10-04 [Moonknight]: I would recommend to have a group of impartial jurors to choose, 3 or 5 people.

2005-10-04 [Ocean Soul]: Yes.. it´s very sad but it´s a fact that there´s a lot of popularity voting going on, even though sometimes it´s so OBVIOUS.. I don´t like that. In some Elfpack contest is saw an interesting thing - there they do have a public poll, but the judgement there isn´t final. A group of jurors judges the pieces afterwards, and they take the public poll as a rough guide line. That´s a good idea I think :)

2005-10-04 [Jitter]: hmm yeah I guess a poll is almost always a bad idea. I'm doomed in both cases though meheheheh :p I'll try and draw one more. You could just have the ET council and you decide or sth

2005-10-04 [Ocean Soul]: By the way, thank you everyone ^_^ I just uploaded a version with almost not noticable changes because I´m a freak ;) Nevermind it ^^

2005-10-04 [Moonknight]: I do notice the changes, around the arms and such,. really cool!

2005-10-05 [Elisha Kelly]: oooh.. mine will be so different to all these other pieces... hee hee, great work guys... I hardly ever get votes in comps prolly cause i don't really knows alot o peeps on elftown... or maybe peeps just don't like my work.. who knows... I like it, and I enter really only to get my work in the public eye... hee hee... anyways off to resaerch medieval clothing :P

2005-10-05 [Noxme]: woweeeeeeee!

2005-10-06 [AnGeLeYeS O_o]: so I could use like.. a photomanip?

2005-10-06 [etch-n-sketch]: i thought we werent allowed to use photoshop... o well... doesnt matter i neither know how to use it nor own it... my entry is almost done, all i need to do is ink it!

2005-10-06 [Skydancer]: If you read carefully in the rules, she changed her mind about using digital mediums such as photoshop. :)

2005-10-06 [Kuruni]: yep, i just want the entries to look like a drawing if possible. I really like how this contest have really good entries, i really apreciate it, not because is my contest, but because i'm able to look at some good good stuff.

2005-10-10 [Kuruni]: [Aegiss], i need a background and there is nothing on that drawing that tells me she is a witch, i'm sorry. Please change it or fix that one. The contest is about witches. Please read carefully the rules. The first one can stay. Thank you!

2005-10-10 [Aegiss]: All right, got it:) I can't do anything about that pic, cause I have no photoshop on this prehistorical PC:) So I will just remove it

2005-10-10 [Kuruni]: [Aegiss]ok, perhaps you can make a drawing or even a collage, a composition with pieces of a magazine, or made of flower petals, tree leaves, ivy, pieces of fabrics, all mixed up. Please be creative!

2005-10-10 [Kuruni]: [DelightfulDes] Tha picture is awesome. I have a thing with red hair :D and the job you did with the background looks cool, thanx for the entry!

2005-10-12 [DelightfulDes]: Thank you [Kuruni] - I was unsure about the entry since it seemed like photomanipulations would be frowned upon, so it's great to know that you like the entry! :)

2005-10-12 [Jitter]: Hmmm I think There are mostly manips up there eventually :p

2005-10-12 [Kuruni]: yeah, well.....but those are great manips!!! i love them!, i just wish there where more drawings or paintings, i like the entries i have, don't get me wrong anyone, but let's see if someone dares making a drawing without photomanip some of these days.

2005-10-12 [VixenD]: iam in the process of drawing mine it will have no computer added anything's ok. jus hope i get it finished soon.

2005-10-12 [etch-n-sketch]: sorry... my entry will have to be posponed... i learned a valuable lesson not to eat soup while drawing.... i spilt soup juice all over my drawing pad... i will have to start over...

2005-10-12 [Kuruni]: nooooooooooooooooooooo...... :(((((((( hey, i restore pics and such with photoshop, let me be vain and tell you i kick ass at it, maybe i can repair it somehow?

2005-10-13 [etch-n-sketch]: thank you but i doubt it...but it wont take too long to redo... its just that i am pressed for time with my schooling and such... i am free to play tommorow so i will get down and work on a new and improved peice, without the soup! stupid soup... i dont think i will ever eat ramen again...

2005-10-13 [Kuruni]: i like ramen :D

2005-10-13 [dilandau]: nice and cheap and easy to eat

2005-10-13 [Kuruni]: that gives me an idea somehow....why not make a contest of collages representing an idea or tale, a drawing made with food....a collage of fruits, or use vegetables, even pasta! mushrooms, grapes, egg shells, tomatoes, rice, grains...anything.  *goes to the kitchen wondering why she is so suddely hungry...*

2005-10-13 [DelightfulDes]: I wish i had time to create a worthwhile drawing...unfortunately grad school is eating all the time that i might be able to devote to a suitable traditional art entry :(

2005-10-13 [Kuruni]: it's ok. Next contest i'll create then :D

2005-10-18 [etch-n-sketch]: i dont understand the make a background thing but i am gonna post my entry tonight!! oh yeah through the ramen wars i have become victorious and penciled and inked a witch of my very own, she is done in all traditional stylings and she, to me, is a very pretty witch with a fat nose!! so give it up for the fat nosed witchy witch!! the scan was a bit dirty but i dont have time to even think of cleaning it and if i find the time before the end then i will try to clean it... maybe...

2005-10-18 [Elisha Kelly]: *Applauds the fat nose Witchy witch*

2005-10-18 [Kuruni]: Background: Something behind the main character, not just a figure floating on a white universe. There can be a wall, a door, some trees, someone else, siluettes, a landscape, a rock, a smurf...anything. In the case of Skydancer and Moonknight i allowed it because it looks like they are covered in shadows or obviously out at night. I'm sorry if i sound like a major pain in the ass, i just want people to follow the rules. The drawing is lovely, i love it! but in my opinion, wich is just my own, i think a drawing with a background has more chances to win than one without it. Art can be expressed in so many ways that it seems unfair of me to say what i just did, but this is how i planed it.
