Updates for Thursday

[ellenmillion]

Congratulations Jenny Heidewald! I did a random draw from all the comments left this past Sketch Fest, and you won! (Really, I promise, it was completely random, as generated through Random.org - it just HAPPENED to be an awesome comment prompting an artist to submit work appropriate for an upcoming EMG-Zine theme. I facepalmed when I went to see the comment that won, because it totally looks deliberately chosen. :P) You get to pick one of my available Sketch Fest pieces! (To-be-finished pieces not eligible, sorry! I think there's only one of those, all the rest are fair game...)

Portrait Adoption arteeests! We've had a lull in new work! Please submit! Also, there's a commission request in the submitted descriptions! It's incentive time, I think - I will add submitted description alerts (get an email when a new submitted description is added! Plus options to not get that email!) if I get 10 portraits submitted in the next 6 days!

10 portraits of 10! 100% there! Must be in by midnight, Aug 1 to count! Way to go, Erika and Chella!!



To do today:

Is the submitted description only viewable by current artists?
I can't seem to see any link for it on the pages.

Re: Adoption

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

Yes, only current artists can see those. Let me know if you're interested in joining and I can send you a link to the artist end of things. :)

Re: Adoption

[chualynn.livejournal.com]

Yes please Ellen. If you could send me the link to the artist stuff for portrait adoption. Thanks.

Such lovely art!

Those are gorgeous pieces! I love the second.

PA: That's a function I've REALLY WANTED anyway. I'll draw all 10 if I have to. :X!

Yay art! You draw such lovely backgrounds, and have such great understanding of how figures fit into them~

[klawzie.livejournal.com]

Yes - I forgot to mention in my reply that that feature is something I've always wanted. >_>

(And I've always loved Ellen's pencil work. I really love the trees in the topmost one, speaking of her backgrounds.)

The sec ond especially is really lovely.

Lalala, just harassing artists to submit art to EMG again....;)

*laughs with delight* That is awesomely crazy! I didn't know we were having a contest, thank you so much! Do you have all your available ones up? I know SF boots unclaimed available ones off when a new SF starts. :)

I was just looking at PA, of course I look at it every morning...<:) I have some art that needs to be submitted for it! An e-mail notification for the SD's would be awesome! LET'S DOOOEEEETTT!!!

PS: The bottom arts is super cute! And the top one ,poor snowies, they don't look happy about dragging that stump out! :)

re: PA

I could possibly fill the last 9 slots myself... Well, I don't know. I have a lot of sketches and I don't know if I could ink them all in two days. But I'll see what I can do. ;) It counts if it arrives by midnight your time, right? >_>

Are the forums down or am I just not being directed to the right place? I was hoping to look at those wonderful archives of search terms people were looking for to figure out which pictures to finish and post first.

Also - am I crazy, or did there used to be/is there still a link somewhere to portraits that have been reserved (but the transactions not yet complete)?

ps: omg I am so out of touch. Congratulations on the tyke!

Re: PA

[thrivis.livejournal.com]

I have one in the queue and working on two more, for a total of 4, so if you want to plan for 5 or 6 maybe we can both bang out the remaining portraits!

Re: PA

[klawzie.livejournal.com]

Sweet as - that's more manageable. xD

Re: PA

[thrivis.livejournal.com]

Go teamwork! :D

Re: PA

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

You guys are AWESOME. Achievement unlocked!

Re: PA

[klawzie.livejournal.com]

Yus. xD Though I "cheated" a little. While digging through my folders of sketches and my older sketchbooks, I found a few pieces I'd inked and never uploaded, but were reasonably up to standard. Then, deciding it'd be a better idea to make a folder of PA work so I could find the originals if someone wanted them, I found a few more in another pile of work. So 4 out of 5 of what I uploaded last night/this morning are from a few years ago and I just digitally edited some of the features. >_>

Re: PA

[thrivis.livejournal.com]

I kind of cheated on a couple too - there were a few sketches that I could repurpose, so cleaned them up a bunch and inked them, since I'm kind of quick with pen. XD

[jenny heidewald (from livejournal.com)]

Ack, the deadline was the first? For some reason I thought it was later. Should have written it on my calender. >_< I've been out of touch this past week due to a commission that I got Monday that HAD to be done by Friday. I was a zombie most of the week.
It's awesome you two got to our PA goal!
