ECM Orc Photo

Submissions of photo-only artwork images. Read the image-rules on Elftown Creature Marathon (In short, it has to be your image and it has to be free to copy, but it doesn't have to be new). The goal of this contest is to get a nice image of a typical orc to put on top of the Orc/Goblin page.

Add your image and a link to your house here.
ALL IMAGES MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFTOWN!
To upload your image full-size you can use the feature 'Upload a folder of images' that is shown on your house.
This feature allows you to upload one, multiple images or zip-files in their original size to a wikipage.
<URL:upload_zip.html>
Once you click this link you can follow the instructions. See also uploading images.

Upload a great looking photograph of a typical orc or a realistically looking photo-manipulation or a dressed up human in case you can't find a real orc...

In regards to 'stock photos':

The stock image has to be that of an Elftown member and for a photo entry, there has to be a substantial amount added/done with it to enter it. - The Council.

EACH MEMBER MAY SUBMIT ONE (1) ENTRY
Exceptions might be offered if there is a valid reason for it. But, if you do submit more than one image, you will greatly lower your chance of winning, as the votes for your style will be spread out on two entries.

Except for the normal badges and stuff, the winner will get credits on what we hope will be the best page about orcs. We will pick one orc-photo or more as winners.

Please note the extremely long deadline! It's because orcs tend to be pretty rare and we want the best shots we can get.

THEME:
Any entry that does not follow the "Orc theme", will be removed.

MEDIUM:
Photography with a minimal amount of manipulation. We don't want images that look too artistically modified.

If you have photos of atypical orcs, you're welcome to submit them here, but we'll mark them as outside of contest.

REMEMBER THE GOAL: We want:
- The BEST QUALITY photos
- The MOST TYPICAL "Orc" photos
- LARGE PHOTOS
...to represent Elftown having the best Orc Page on the Internet as part of the Elftown Creature Marathon!
These may be helpful:
- Orc.
- Orc.

Brief description:
Appearance: A tough, warlike humanoid creature in various fantasy settings, often portrayed as misshapen humanoids with brutal, warmongering, sadistic, yet cowardly tendencies, although some writers describe them as a proud warrior race with a strong sense of honor. Orcs are most commonly known to have green skin.


Three important notations:


---> #1: When the finalists are posted in the Main Street Poll or on a public poll page, the participants are not allowed to beg for votes for their own entry. Do not ask people to vote for your entry via private messages, guestbook messages, moods, wikis, or by any other means. Your entry will be disqualified if you are caught doing so. It is perfectly fine to advertise THE POLL, however!
---> #2: If you feel any of the entries break the rules, please speak up before the entries make it to the polls. You can still speak up even after the contest is closed, as long as the polls have not yet gone up yet. Complaints received after the aforementioned will not be considered valid.
---> #3: For discussions about the Elftown competitions: Here it's discussed if an entry is in accordance with the rules and similarly more complicated issues that can't be solved with a simple wiki-comment. Go to: <forum:Elftown contests>

/Thank you - the ECM Mods and the Elftown Council.

2007-10-09 [Urmando The Elfling]: Ooh Shoot, now I find my Orc fight picture over here, strange.........:-/

2007-10-09 [Artsie_ladie]: [Hedda] thought it fit better here. :o

2007-10-10 [Hedda]: Well, it's a photo of an orc, so...

2007-10-10 [Artsie_ladie]: *nods* ;-)

2008-01-27 [Hedda]: It's very typical of orcs to be killed too <img:stuff/mood5-gif.gif>

2008-01-27 [Artsie_ladie]: I suppose. <img:stuff/m-jpg.gif>

2008-04-11 [Linn Scarlett]: Somehow a part of me feels like grabbing greenishblue grime and purple hairspray and dress up as my WoW Troll XD

2008-04-12 [Jitter]: Yhm, this is the orc page :P :D

2008-04-12 [Linn Scarlett]: Hm you have a point, but still :P My Troll has a thing with an Orc XD  *fakes the lame jamacan troll accent in wow* "Aaaaaaalll this and personality too!"

2008-04-13 [Jitter]: Right you are, mon xD

2008-04-13 [SilverFire]: Strong halitosis be but one of my feminine traits.

2008-04-13 [Linn Scarlett]: "I am sooo feminine! AND I WILL KILL ANYONE WHO DISAGREES!" -- orc female XD

2008-04-23 [Urmando The Elfling]: Hm, so quiet here with the Orc pictures, so I placed another one.......<img:stuff/sutN.gif>

2008-04-23 [Linn Scarlett]: What can I say? My green grime washed off when I took a shower XD

2008-06-03 [noskari]: orcs have black blood!!!! what is this green stuff???<img:44166_1164145068.gif>

2008-06-03 [Urmando The Elfling]: He,he,he,he...Oh look, a responce about the green blood...<img:stuff/sutN.gif>

2008-08-26 [Artsie_ladie]: 'Elftown green' blood! <img:stuff/brN-gif.gif> ;)

2008-09-01 [Linn Scarlett]: It's just the White Hand orcs that have green blood, the orcs of minas morgul have green blood. Warcraft orcs have red or blue blood and dnd orcs also have green blood I believe :P

2008-09-02 [Artsie_ladie]: *listens intently and smiles* ;)

2008-11-18 [Linn Scarlett]: Sorry, random spam of knowledge :p

2008-11-20 [Artsie_ladie]: *notes the random 'spam' of knowledge* <img:stuff/cheshmak.gif>

2008-11-24 [Linn Scarlett]: I can't help it :P

2008-11-24 [Artsie_ladie]: I so understand your dilemma. *looks at you sympathetically* I n-evah Spam It! Damn It!! *giggles*

2008-11-27 [Falx]: According to Reghiz, this is not his best side. We got the front of him. XD

2008-11-27 [itoe]: Reghiz not look so happy.

2008-11-28 [Hedda]: [Falx] Oh, nice!

I think he looks very happy. Like he's about to eat some human flesh.

2008-11-28 [Falx]: Thank you. ^_^ I'm just glad [itoe] was nice enough to pose for this.

2008-11-28 [Artsie_ladie]: Ah, another orc. Coolsome! Boy, orcs must really be a difficult find. Here I thought Elftown's Secret Intelligence was superb at finding whatevah! ^ ^ ;)

2008-11-28 [Hedda]: I think the problem is that we have bastards like that [Urmando The Elfling] who is running around and killing all orcs he can find!

No more orc-killing until 2008-11-30!

2008-11-28 [Artsie_ladie]: Hmm.. could be! Maybe we should hold those orc killers in the dungeon til after the 30th? Then the poor orcs can feel safe to: Come out! Come out from wherever they are! *goes after Urmando with his own sword* hehe

2008-11-28 [Falx]: Hey, I had to search long and hard to find Reghiz. He's very shy. And even then, he'd only give me his old high school photo from before he got braces to crooked up his teeth.

2008-11-28 [Artsie_ladie]: We sure are glad you found him! There must be more! :)

2008-11-30 [Urmando The Elfling]: Sorry, killing orcs is just in my Elven Nature....<img:44166_1164469620.gif>
Or killing Demons as well, as seen in EFF 2006 Part III
<img300*0:stuff/Demon-Kill.jpg>

2008-11-30 [Artsie_ladie]: Hey! What are you doing out of the dungeon? We're trying to gather some 'live' orcs here! hehe

2008-11-30 [Skydancer]: Hmmmmmm Orkian hordes, now where can I find and horde.....

2008-12-01 [Artsie_ladie]: Yes, [Skydancer], please find some orcs and drag 'em here if you have to. hehe ;)

2008-12-01 [Skydancer]: I will see what I can do... hmmm

2008-12-01 [Artsie_ladie]: I know this contest has not been closed yet, but it's kinda' because I'm hoping to see more Orcs. <img:stuff/sa-gif.gif>

2008-12-01 [Skydancer]: well, I am working on it, I may have one coming over today, a orkian female. And shes quite keen to be photographed so we will see.

2008-12-01 [Artsie_ladie]: Ooooh! Nice! <img:stuff/dand-gif.gif>

2008-12-02 [Falx]: YAY!More orcs!

2008-12-02 [Skydancer]: Couple of days to process and clean up the images, you know how these orcs are, and I think we may have something. :)

2008-12-02 [Artsie_ladie]: Cool! Past cool! Awesome! <img:stuff/dand-gif.gif> Yeah, I understand. Orcs can be pretty messy. lol

2008-12-04 [Skydancer]: <img200*0:stuff/Sky's_Rae_Orc_Warrior.jpg> since I can only submit one, I stuck this one here.

2008-12-05 [Artsie_ladie]: Great, [Skydancer]! :) Since your image will disappear to another comment page eventually, I'm adding it to the page, as 'b'. We do not turn images away really, because we might be able to use them somewhere on one of the Witch pages, even if they wind up 'outside the contest'. So the one marked 'a' will go to the poll, for I'm assuming 'a' is your preference of the two. If not, I can place 'b' in the poll then. No problem either way. :)

[Urmando The Elfling], I'm placing an 'a' and a 'b' with yours and 'a' will go to the poll unless you tell me your preference is the reverse. :)

Now, if [Hedda] comes along and decides he wants them all in the poll, well that's fine with me, too. :)

2008-12-05 [Skydancer]: A is a better Orc, really B is a better photo, but its not so obvious the orcish quality, she is more of a "half Orc" I do have a few more, but they are going to take some extensive editing and I will make an orcish wiki when I get to it.

2008-12-05 [Artsie_ladie]: Ok, then. :) That sounds wonderful! We appreciate your contributions. :D

2008-12-06 [Urmando The Elfling]: Allright [Artsie_ladie]: I prefer photo 'b' for the poll because it's more spectacular, But if [Hedda] decides both pics can go to the Poll, that's even better!!! :-P

2008-12-06 [Artsie_ladie]: Ok, thanks for letting me know. I have held off closing this, because I've been hoping for more orcs to come. Buuuuut... it doesn't look like any more orcs are going to show up. *ish sulking now*

2008-12-25 [Skydancer]: Sadly no, I think they are in hibernation and I am up to my ears in making calendars. :)

2008-12-25 [Artsie_ladie]: I see. *pictures [Skydancer] wading in calendars, neck high* ;) Hibernation is sounding very good to me currently, because I could use some sleep. ;P Well, I just extended the deadline for this, the Mage and the Witch Photo contests. I see no need for a rush to close them, after all. ;)

2009-01-02 [Skydancer]: Nods, okies. I am just so tired, and so busy I do not have time to be editing work into orcian or elfish or witchy things, but people are certainly welcome to use my stock and reference to work with. We do have a few thousands of images on ET and DA for folk to work with after all.

2009-01-02 [Artsie_ladie]: I can relate. ;) Yes, indeed, lots to work with. :)

2009-02-17 [Artsie_ladie]: Another orc! Yay! :D

2009-02-17 [Jitter]: As I said before, ECM should allow numerous entries per member. then we'd have even more orcs >:3

2009-02-17 [Artsie_ladie]: hehe ...And as I agreed before, too. ;)

2009-02-17 [Jitter]: *pokes [Hedda]*

Why don't we change it? :P

2009-02-17 [Falx]: Aye, since only a few of us intrepid shutterbugs seem to be able to capture orcs on photo anyway...

2009-02-17 [Skydancer]: OOOh nice Orc Jitter..

2009-02-18 [Jitter]: Thank you :D

2009-07-24 [A Phoenix Rising]: *contemplates entering*

2009-08-25 [itoe]: Do it! *pokes [A Phoenix Rising]* Do it!

2009-08-25 [A Phoenix Rising]: :)
I probably will, I just need to find the time.

2009-08-28 [A Phoenix Rising]: May or may not leave this one up...hmmm...

2009-08-29 [Skydancer]: a touch of tooth would be good, orc have these fangs you see. :D lovely image though

2009-08-30 [A Phoenix Rising]: :D
I'll work on it more if I have time in the next day or two.

2009-08-31 [A Phoenix Rising]: Better now?

2009-08-31 [Falx]: Oh, wait. Can we do goblin pictures too?

2009-08-31 [A Phoenix Rising]: I would assume so, it says it at the top of this page.

2009-09-01 [Falx]: *Grins* Oh! Yay! That's very better! Many more goblins to be found 'round here than orcs. *nods sagely*

2009-09-01 [A Phoenix Rising]: Best of luck to you!
