RULES


1. GENERAL RULES:
For the general rules see Elftown Creature Marathon#RULES!

Copied art is NOT permissible in Elftown's Official Contests. Please see: Copying vs Fanart & Referencing.

2. 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.

3. 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.

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

5. MEDIUM:
All mediums, excepting photography (and/or manipulations) and animations will be accepted.

6. POLL
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.

REMEMBER THE GOAL: We want the BEST QUALITY images to represent Elftown having the best Unicorn Page on the Internet as part of the Elftown Creature Marathon!

Brief description:
Appearance:
- A unicorn is not unlike a war-horse; it has heavy cloven hooves, and has a single central horn on its forehead.
- Physical Description: Though the modern popular image of the unicorn is sometimes that of a horse differing only in the horn on its forehead, the traditional unicorn also has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hooves that distinguish it from a horse.

  - Unicorn (On Wikipedia.)

Reward:

Aside from the regular rewards, as mentioned on Elftown Creature Marathon, the winner will receive credit for contributing to what we hope will be the best Unicorn-page on the entire Internet.

How to post your entry:
Add your username and entry after the last one that has been already posted. Number your entries, thumbnail them to 300 (Please upload big images!), and separate them with the <hr> tag:

Title your entries, please!

A title more than just "Unicorn" is needed.
Thank you!

2009-02-14 [Zab]: Thanks :)

2009-02-14 [Jitter]: Question: Older lore presents unicorns more similar to goats than horses, would such unicorns be allowed? Also, since the etymology of 'unicorn' literally means one horn, would this be open for all one horned creatures or typical unicorns only?

2009-02-14 [Artsie_ladie]: Good point, [Jitter]. :) This is open for both "modern, popular" and the "traditional" style unicorn. "Maybe", if we get enough entries of each style, we can pick the best image or two of each. There is also the ECM Unar Art, which is a curious mix of elf and unicorn. I'm open to hear about any other relatives of the unicorn and with some info about each to go with them. :D

2009-02-15 [Thistlewood]: It also depends on the culture as to what the unicorn looks like in their stories. I have read descriptions where the unicorn sounds more like a rhino than a horse.

2009-02-15 [Artsie_ladie]: Hi, there, [Thistlewood]! :D Yes, another good point. If anyone finds such information, please post the links to, on ECM Unicorn Text and don't forget to give yourself the credit and put "found by" with that you post. This project, after all, is to gather ALL we can about a creature, so Elftown can have the most informative creature pages on the entire internet! <img:stuff/dand-gif.gif> Pssst... Now I know you must have some lovely art of a unicorn! <img:stuff/cheshmak.gif>

2009-02-16 [Jitter]: Oh Mangle this is so cute :O

2009-02-16 [JajaJulie]: Thanks [Jitter] :)

2009-02-21 [FamousPanda]: Omg [Kuruni] You need to calm it down lol. Really great entry again. ^-^

2009-02-21 [Kuruni]: ahahah well, i have been productive! it's been a long time since i really participated on anything in here, and since i might get a job soon i wont have time to do anything for a while.

2009-02-21 [Artsie_ladie]: Very cute, [JajaJulie]! :D I had to open it in Photoshop so I could lighten it to see it. It must be my monitor, because I couldn't see another entry on another contest either. Is there a way to adjust the lightness and darkness of a monitor screen?

[Kuruni], another great entry! Fabulous! :D

2009-02-21 [Jitter]: I fell in love with [Kuruni]'s stuff at the first sight, this is no exception ;)

2009-02-21 [FamousPanda]: [Artsie_ladie] You can change the brightness and contrast of your monitor, it should either be on the front of your monitor or in your settings.

2009-02-21 [Kuruni]: Thanks ^^

2009-02-22 [JajaJulie]: Thank you [Artsie_ladie] :D

2009-02-22 [Artsie_ladie]: Thank you, [FamousPanda]! I did and it's much better. So this is what the buttons are for on the front of my monitor. Dah, me! >..< :) You're welcome, [Kuruni] and [JajaJulie]. :)

2009-02-22 [FamousPanda]: lol You're welcome [Artsie_ladie].

2009-03-18 [Kahri]: Hey, I'm having some serious problems figuring out a background for mine. <img50*0:http://elftown.com/img/drawing/151116_1237335749.jpg>, Anyone have some ideas for me? It would be extremely appreciated.

2009-03-18 [Linderel]: A forest clearing and a pond, perhaps?

2009-03-18 [Kahri]: Oh, I like that, hmm, I'll give it a shot. Thanks a bunch!

2009-03-19 [Artsie_ladie]: Very nice, [Kahri]! You gave it a shot and it came out great! :D

2009-03-19 [Kahri]: Thanks!
