According to the Submitted time on DA he made it under the wire...

I'm organizing the Red Caps, Fir Bolg and Tuatha into a giant rally in protest of their exclusion from this particular "dating service." Racism is uncool, be it supernatural based or not!

Hmmm... Caemgen might be a good bit of something different to do to warm-up...

Dracula was scared of sunlight and he scared millions!!

I think the consensus is the quicker the new theme the better...

Sweet... Specially like the pose you did for Burnme...

Pfffffft, as if! Despite all my quirks, I'm still way too awesome to ever not exist
(hmmmm, seems we have a thread all to ourselves. I think I scared everyone else away... Or is that bored?) -

Now that it's entered you can update it.
If I reread and find errors myself before the deadline I will change those but I wouldn't change something someone else pointed out... It would be like you having a different artist redraw a portion of your submission and then resubmitting it. Or, maybe more similiar, another artist "cleaning up" your lines. It's one thing to have generalities pointed out and correcting it myself, but having specifics fixed by another, to me, crosses the line...
Besides, there's that laziness factor which means I'll probably not even reread it unless/until I decide to expand it or use it as part of something else... -
Shooting someone in the head CAN be good - doesn't mean it usually is.

CR - your totally right on the bed thing... Originally she was throwing the clothes on the floor but the sentence was very awkward and I changed it last minute... I should have given it at least another read through but was running out of time - I wanted it in Thursday so if Wassy did nix it I would have most of Friday to maybe come up with some scribbling
Grammar is definitely not my strong suit. Not sure what is but it's not that. Feel free to go all grammar cop if you wish, never hurts to see my mistakes (though with my thick head it may not help either) but if you do you may wanna go pm route so as not to bore everyone else
Actually Fen and her roommate were supposed to be the hot chicks... I really meant to spend more time describing them (as opposed to the none I ended up with) but that got a bit lost in the shuffle of wanting to have the pin up scene, to tell a story and to keep it short. I actually wanted shorter but I do tend to ramble... But ya, from my first thought of doing a story I figured I had to include the little tortured chick
Heh, glad ya liked the toaster line... I've heard of gals using washing machines but never toasters...
As for walking the line, I figured I would save the real pornagraphic stuff for the finals!. Actually, I was a tad uncomfortable writing about a lesbian relationship in the first place... I didn't want it to come off as some perverts fantasy or hot chicks pillow fighting in negligees or something, but for some reason Fen was never straight in my head... Maybe cause she's my character and so I have problems seeing her with a guy since it would be like seeing me with a guy? *shrug*
anyway, since I was worried about portraying that kind of relationship in the first place, I certainly didn't want to go overboard on details and gratuitous detail... I actually had several more scenes and interplays between the two to try to flesh them out a bit more, to show their feelings for each other more, but again they fell to procrastination, wanting to get it submitted and wanting to keep it as short as I could. I figure it's a stretch already asking people to read in an art contest, I may as well keep it brief for them...
And egads, this post is getting longer than the story!! I'll just wrap up by saying this isn't the whole Fenian origin story as I envision it but definitely a decent enough nutshell telling of it for now... -
Statistics do absolutely nothing to help people overcome fears, so say 98.6% of all studies
face it, flying just ain't natural. I do it. I have no huge trauma while doing it. Still, I don't like it.
And who says it's quick? Barring an explosion, I would think that time between when you know your going down and when you actually hit probably last an eternity...
Sorry, I'd much rather be in deep water with nothing in sight... Delusional or not, least I can tell myself I have some control of the outcome. -
I intend to get a bunch printed off and put it up in the computer room but just haven't gotten around to it yet... Part laziness, part not having chosen which to print off yet and part because I haven't yet figured out best way to get them printed and possibly framed.., though I guess that's just laziness again
I know one piece I am definitely framing once I have it printed out is the Swanzified version of Fenian by Wassy... I figure a nice poster sized version of that with the original Wassy lines displayed in the corner would make for a really stellar combo .. -
Congrats!!

I had suggested a dark, dirty looking alley but silly me never thought to suggest graffiti! If I had I'd have thrown in nods to in game stuff... But since I never thought to do that I love what they did... I can't blame them for the K but yeah, I had noticed the m at the end but just didn't feel it was worth bothering to have changed... As for it being repeated but reversed on the back wall, heh that was a bit lazy... But nothing that distracts me so whatever.
I disagree a bit on the tails of the bandana... Having used to wear one quite often, seems to me the ends often stayed kind of curled up and thin looking. They got annoying and weird looking when they flared out too much, IMO... Actually wouldn't mind if they were exaggerated a bit to really trail behind a bit more and give some of that dramatic movement thing...
As for them blending with the power effect, I didn't notice that earlier, but can see it a bit more on my
mobile... Will have to look again on the big screen...
I really like the power effect colors each being isolated to one hand... If I could do that in game I probably would
anyway, thanks for the comments by ya both, nice knowing what others think

Ou know, come to think of it, Wassy is REALLY over represented in my gallery as well !!!
. I kid, I kid...

Egads! If I started doing things that were good for me I would have to change pretty much every aspect of my life!!!!

The third of my trio as done by Androsm http://androsm.deviantart.com/ and colored by Blewh http://blewh.deviantart.com/
They went a little less detailed on the costume than I expected and played with the power effects but I must say I am loving this overall...
Don't have the finalized, full sized version quite yet but once I do it'll, of course, be up on DA.... -
Quote:Yeah, that was the angle I was shooting on this gamble...Originally Posted by Wassy
My first reaction was to disqualify this entry. But I thought about it for a bit. Caemgen is correct that I didn't have a specific prohibition against fan writing. What kind of sold it for me though is that this is now the Screenshots & Fan Creations forum. We have a fan fic section on the dA group. Writing is an art. I've been encouraging thinking outside the usual fan art offerings.
(Was it ever called anything else? If so, either before my time or I don't recall it...)
Woohoo!Quote:So I've decided to qualify this entry.
I also wouldn't want this to become a writing contest, or even a mixed contest. Too difficult to compare visual to written art. Hell, tough to compare prose to poetry... Plus if there was a call for a writing contest, there is a whole section devoted to that.Quote:I'm not totally keen on having this contest suddenly get a lot of writing entries, though. I think this contest should stay more for visual arts, as that's what the original intent it. It just adds a whole other beast if there's also writing (even just themes would have to be changed to keep it in mind). So going forward, there will be specific monthly rules prohibiting fan fics.
Best case scenario I figured it would get prohibited from future contests but it would be allowed to continue for this year but I totally understand you cutting it off at the bud going forward from here... And in all likelihood I am still exiting this month anyway so it shouldn't matter.
All in all, as I hinted at for a long time, I figured I may not qualify with this entry and would have understood... I think your decision is more than fair.

Alright, my entry can be found on my DA page http://kaemgen.deviantart.com/ - It's the one titled February FArt Entry
I'm not sure this will count as a qualifying entry or not, I'll leave that in Wassy's capable hands and graciously accept whatever her decision is. Let's face it, I cannot compete with the rest of you in the visual arts so I had to try something...
Edit: If it does qualify, seems I'm not able to submit it to a FArt gallery since I can't even see it as a gallery to submit to so rather than put it in the wrong place I skipped that step for now...

Quote:Never complained they were hard to get, just that your forced to team to get them... (besides, who said my morning team were friends?)Originally Posted by Golden Girl
If you have in-game frineds, then why were you complaining about the badges being hard to get?
Also said early on that most my comments were in jest
But I do hate anything that forces teaming. I play solo 90% of the time. Some due to the odd times I play, some due to choice. Why, at 3am, when the people I do talk to are generally sleeping and I am running missions between loads of laundry, should I suddenly have to stop and find a team so we can defuse 4 bombs at once? By the time I find people to help I'm going to have to take my laundry out of the dryer and fold it or end up with wrinkles!!
There's also the point of not even wanting to ask my static team to do Vday event 20+ times just so I can get all the badges and costume pieces for all my toons. I'm sure they would help but all in all I'd rather not force them to when we all could be benefiting from running arcs or taskforces or whatever..
And yeah, I'm a bit of a freak in that I am all introverted and a social recluse. I get that. I am also fine with it. I don't really expect the game to adapt to my quirks and wants.. But I am a bit annoyed that teaming is the oy solution here... *shrug* -
Hmmm, sleep, then work overnight, then have to run with my static team tommorow (see! Not totaly anti-social! We meet twice a week! Ha!) and then sleep and more work...
I'm safe til the weekend!
-
Entry complete!!
Hopefully work tonight will be slow enough for me to polish it all up so I can submit it for rejection tommorow
-
Can too!!!
But the good news is my contest entry is finished!! Woohoo!! (Well, except for some spit and polish detailing but the battle was to get it all out, making it as shiny as I can I should be able to get done at work tonight for the most part...)
But the bad news is it'll likely not qualify anyway
What that all has to do with hiding? No idea...
