@Alt:
Oh the fail in translating...

@KR:
Occasionally there is the DM. Not often.

@Gantic:
Fairy Tales as in fairy tales. Little Red Riding Hood, the Ugly Duckling, that guy with the bean stake...
Those kind of fairy tales. It does not have to include any existing fairy tales, but it would be nice to get the feeling of fairy tale somehow.

As to whether "mystical" things need to be included for it to be of fairy tale material: No. It isn't needed, it is just common.

You know the tales of Grimm? The two brothers who collected a bunch of old stories and wrote them down? That collection is fairy tales, of fairly different kinds...

It is a story telling genre... Nowadays somewhat rarely expanded upon, but it is a genre.
You could also just go literal and make an adventure tale about a fairy. > >

@alt:
Where you trying to write "That is the fairy tale/adventure of a Mazzelh"?

35% of the painting done. Enough for today. ( God, it's really hard to draw something nicw with GIMP.)

Omg, impossible theme w/potatoes.
Okay, I'll have to dig deep into my brain to find an idea... ArGa! I'm working on a game called ArGa which is an adventure game which could pretty much symbolise the theme. But the fairy tale...? ARGH!

Hey, did anyone like mine?

Phew... finally done. This took a mere 45 minutes to find the pics and textures, re-trace, and finish the touches with complexity. I hope you enjoy it.

Get ready for the adventure...


Well, screw ArGa. I'll have another oportunity. I have an idea for the next theme Cen. What about Celebrities?

Anyway that was my credit. I put lots of effort in this one, so "vote" fair!

*mumbles something strange in foreign language*

Maybe, Ogt. We'll see about that. And good to have you back in the competition as well.

And as promised (I think), another preview to my entry.


Oddly, that dress actually doesn't look half bad on him.

XD at the one Cen! That was really funny.
Can I post art? Although its not related to the theme.
Thank you! ;D
Presenting a preview to myself:

Okay! That was it.

Ich bin nicht schön mit euch, Zega.
*mumbles something else in another language*

Strop is still mocking him with being gay, I am pretty sure that did not help anything > >
Next preview tomorrow, me thinks.

And you speak German, Ogt? Now, if it was not for the annoying special sign....

Let me fix that last part:
German: Ich bin nicht nett zu Ihnen, Zega.
Dutch: En uw bijdrage is zeer raster.
Slovenian: No, razen, da se to stori. Se vidiva!
French: Maintenant, qui m'aime me suive!
English: I fizzled your brains back there.

Ach, nein Shenere, ich spreche kein Deutsch.

Oh, and random note: That is the first time I have been able to draw him that naked. I am still working on it, though... Funny, as I was able to draw Lyra naked from the start... Cen is annoying - -

Nice one, Ogt. And once again realizing how much I should read up on my German. And English... And then all the languages I want to learn...

Yay Cenere! ...English? Don't you speak English? -.-
When you said "Nice one", are you talking about the art (me) or about my german? :P

I do speak English, but it is not my first language, which means it is a little rusty both when I write, but especially when I speak...
And the German. Really~ The entry as well, but I will comment more on that when I get to the judging.
For the other drawing... Hmm... Not sure where to start with that, other than it looks good?
