JereN, when I said that, I meant that it's Friday, I don't want to have to use all my time on art. I know it's Sunday. -.-

ZOOOOPHIIIIIAAAAAAA.... Yes, we are currently lacking a judge... Which means that if she does not get online soon, she can have the honour of judging alone...

Oh, and, I just got a scanner (thank goodness), and it is working as well (even better). Also it indirectly resulted in me crashing into a lady's bike on my bike, so I have nice grazes and black marks on my left side. Otherwise nothing happened, though I gave her a scare, and some kids a good laugh.

CAN I JUDGE WITH YOU?!

CAN I JUDGE WITH YOU?!

hope she comes...It is really nice to have to judges...one doesn't always see things from every aspect...btw cen you from denmar? yes?

Yeah. Just like Zophia, which is pretty much the reason I am texting her atm...
Oh, she's online...

hey whats up guys i have been following this for awhile with crimson and i would like to join can i

oh..you both...while I lived in sweden I had one chap on same course in the university who was from Dens...really nice chap...a bit hard to understand from time to time though :P

Omg judging today! I'm eeaaggeerr!
So how's Zophia? Are you judging together? Yes?
Brb, I'm gonna go eat dinner -.-

I would now before the judging say that I have liked everyone of your entries!

I really liked the dragon on phsycos pic(background little hard to see). and the hero on poisons(monster was a bit fuzzy) I'm still waiting for kingryan to confirm my guesses on his entry.

The runes was nice on ogts and liked the mazzhle(or what it may be) on alt's. Also the monster was nice on zega's and the war cry of the hero(must have been a war cry 'cos mouth was open)
And the details on luffis picture were nice...must have taken some time

Grimson really captured some action to his picture as did apocalypse and tuna kept it plain and simple. This did also Gantic with his nice puff the magic dragon..*lol

and cen's pictures are just great..luckily he can't participate...otherwise we others would not stand a change

And fst...jail that f***** LRRH :P lol...

so...something good about every entry...and I can assure you that I was really really drun....ERMMM I mean pleased with the high quality of the entries lol

Thank you, it would've been more clear if I had the scanner working.

yup...I thought so too but as it now was...it took me some time to figure out how things where :P it was a huge cavern wasn't it?

@Cenere: Do you want me to resize my entry or is it fine?

C: Anyway, getting through this *word* before I kill someone.
Z: So... Judging?
C: Yes. My order.
LuffFi:



Z: Mhm~ I wanna know the story behind that image now.
C: *is quite close to yelling at Thoad, and then leave this* Well, nice way of colouring the scan, it looks alright, probably something that could be in a manga. This not because of the style, but the atmosphere of the image.
Z: Potentially, yes~
Oh, and to recap something: Winner can post a comment on my profile which will then receive a merit.
People have been forgetting or not knowing (or perhaps just not wanting their merits).
C: Yes. Anyway, next:
Tunie.... Ubertuna.



Z: "Riding seems easy to every warrior while he is indoors
and very courageous to him who traverses the high-roads
on the back of a stout horse." - Wikipedia on the Anglo-Saxon meaning of Raido.
Which, basically, sums up a lot about eventyr in both English translations' meanings. Ish.
C: Ahem: An adventure is usually a journey (the other meaning of Raido), not only as something physical, where you walk from one place to another, but a mental journey as well. You grow through your experiences.
Fairy tales are usually journeys of the mind as well. The main character might not go far from what they know, not as far as the characters of adventures, but they are going through a mental journey just as far, but much more simple. There is one big difference, though. The journey of fairy tales is from the home, out in the unknown, through the chaos and back home. Often there is no real evolution of the character. Therefore... I like adventure better... ... Did I just ramble off half of my project there....
Z: I dunno, but you said what I meant to say but failed to do.
C: Interesting. Anyway... Third on the list!
Poison:



Z: Yes~
Quite a few fairy tales have the hero going off somewhere to fight (or just meet) a big monstrous critter. Adventures can easily be about the same thing, and... This seems like it could be the lead-up to an action scene of a fairy tale. Imo.
C: I think Kai has tried that. But yes. Though fairy tales has little to no action. It is something it lack a lot, maybe because of the children that should listen to it, the morals in it, or possibly the age they appeared.
Z: So you mean you haven't heard ... nevermind, can't remember the title. Pretty awesome fairy tale, though.
C: Sagen om Roedhaette does not count.
Z: It does have action, though. :P But not the one I meant. My favorite fairy tale, and I'm not sure I'll ever read it again, 'cause I lost the papers it was printed on and I can't remember the title. :<
C: Okay, correcting: Most traditional fairytales, both kinds are not very action filled.
Z: Yadda.
C: ... Thanks....
Anyway, the rest of the entries:
Alt:



Z: Interesting ... book cover ... with mazzelh?
Also brings up a little issue:
Guys, please try to make you entries sizes that can be viewed on AG without scroll bars. 670 pixels wide, <1000 pixels high. It's not that you're not allowed to make bigger entries, just... Try to aim for a slightly smaller size (especially with entries like this one where there is a lot of blank space that isn't actually needed for the pic to be that pic).
C: And if you want to make the bigger ones, then put a smaller preview so we can see the entire image without having to open a new tab for it.
Anyway, that one was a little... Uhm... There is no adventure, no fairy tale, just a mazzelh and the text...
Z: Book cover...
C: Does that make it better?
Z: Dunno. Onwards!
C: Hmm... Anyway. Crimson!



Z: I don't see the actual fairy tale part of that, but yay for the fluffy scorpion steed critter~
C: Well, there is some imagiosomething about it... Imaginatio. But yeah... It is still cool though. Now why does my other wrist hurt...
Z: Dunno. *pats*
C: Does not make sense... Hmm. And then we got mr... Sorry, his majesty, Ryan.



Z: What happens when you take a bunch of fairy tales and stir them together. It's cooler when you throw them in a blender, though.
C: Creature shake... That could sell. Anyway, this is probably the ultimate fairy tale image of the week.
Z: Indeed.
C: Apocalypse, then:



Z: WIzard vs. dragon yay~
C: Like that game... With the... Uhm, find the errors on the image... Thing... Yes... Dragon!
Z: ^^
C: Then we have Gantic.



Z: I like that one, though it could have looked a lot nicer if the shapes were more carefully made...
C: The frog prince/king... Did he not di... No wait, that was just in Shrek. The guy that always win. He is sleeping with princesses for God's sake.
Z: *blinks*
C: The frog is probably the one character getting laid more often than not - -
Z: I think you took these comments someplace completely new.
C: What?
Z: Nvm. On?
C: *mumble* Phsycomonkey



Z: Big dragon is big~
C: Reminds me a little more about linnwurms. But yes, big... It probably ate someone.
Z: A lot of someones or somethings.
C: Or a really long something.
Z: *nod* Nice drawing, though.
C: Very so, very so... How come dragons get al the virgins... Oh well. Fst.



Z: IT'S NOT STICK FIGURES.
C: Uhhmmmm.... Harry Potter in the hood?
Z: O.o
C: "My name is Harry P to the O to the T to the T to the E to the R, you see."
Z: I'm just gonna walk over here now... *walks over in corner*
C: "Don't call him Harry Potter, 'cause my name is H Piddy." And with that: JereN.



Z: Where's the fairy tale element?
C: Possibly where the adventure element is in KR's... I think they stole it from each other.
Z: Dun dun dunnn~ (If you can't tell, my brain stopped functioning properly a few minutes ago.)
C: Good we are almost done. Ogt.



Z: Preparations, that one~
C: Yes... But not much of a fairy tale?
Z: Not so much, but looks like an interesting adventure could ensue.
C: Most likely. Anyway, we got two left. Zega...



Z: That's... I don't know what to say about that one.
C: I think I might be biased to not like it due to the comments he made with it, asking to get a merit.
Z: Yeah...
C: Anyway, I think we are done now, so we better go on to selecting a theme, what do you say about the "Celebrity" theme that has been suggested, is it okay, what defines a celebrity anyway?
Z: I... Kinda don't wanna judge that... But okay, I'll just get Thoad to help since you'll be absent.
C: Oh, goodiegood, then we just need the last little detail with the deadline, and then we are closing off, right? *excited grin*
Z: Yep. Enjoy your vacation from judging.
C: Also known as AAAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHF***************************************************************************STREEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Yes...

Theme: Celebrities
Deadline: Monday 11th

Z: Yeah.
C: Wow, I really did get away with it. Anyway, yeah.
Z: Oh, you reminded me just in time.

CEN ENTRY!



Wee~~~
Nice looking entry, and Kai is just hyped up insanely.
C: Yeaaaer.... I can't accidently win, right? Okay... *sigh*
