2007-09-26 [Artsie_ladie]: Looks 'witchy' to me. lol *in a witchy witch cackle* You forgot to post your name. *pokes & winks*

2007-09-26 [Jitter]: Oops indeed xD

Thanks!

2007-09-26 [Artsie_ladie]: Aw, it's ok. YW! One hand is just washing the other! *huggles*

2007-09-26 [Jitter]: ^_^ *huggles bacK*

2007-09-26 [Jitter]: I wish I had a better picture of this: http://elftown.com/stuff/4tsik.jpg ;_; But the hat& dress are still at my hometown too... ;_;

2007-09-26 [Artsie_ladie]: I lived in one place & had the majority of my stuff in another at one time, so I know how you feel. You're always wanting what's at another place. It's kinda' frustrating. *hugs*

2007-09-26 [Jitter]: Hehe yeah *hugs back*

2007-09-26 [Artsie_ladie]: Maybe you could get or borrow a witch's hat & try re-taking the photo. You might like the 2nd photo better. Just a suggestion, though. I like the one you have up now, but I can't see it too well with the darkness, but I have very bad eyesight, too. So, this could be a factor. :P

2007-09-26 [Jitter]: Can i guess that you also use a flat monitor...? Cause I tried to make it not very dark :)

2007-09-27 [Artsie_ladie]: I just have a regular clunky monitor. I wish I had a flat one & a larger screen, but I have to do with what I have. When I look at something more closely or when I do my art on it, my nose is about 2 or 3 inches from the screen. Then my shoulders will bother me, b/c my face is forward but my hand(s) are back farther & not in a normal position. ...And all of my art is done with the mouse, still. *sighs*

2007-09-27 [Jitter]: Awww :( *hugs* Buy a tablet they're about 50-70 euros now :)(I think around 60-80 dollars)

2007-09-27 [Artsie_ladie]: Yeah, when my financial status is more stable. My daughter is in college & the vehicle situation is, let's just say, a bit iffy, at best. Someday I'll make a little money with my art & writing, maybe. *sighs*

2007-09-27 [Jitter]: Arg I see :( *hugs* Mine was a birthday present so I consider myself lucky ^^

2007-09-29 [Artsie_ladie]: Ahh, presents. They're always nice to receive, especially when they are things you really want &/or need. :)

2007-09-29 [Jitter]: *nods in agreement*

2007-10-08 [Jitter]: I'ma afraid we're allowed only 1 entry per category

I love the second one <3

2007-10-08 [Skydancer]: I was wondering about that, as it says if you have "photos" of witches, and the fact that these entries would be part of a witch reference. I will just have to make a witch photo wiki I suppose. :)

2007-10-08 [Skydancer]: Witches I have Met...

2007-10-08 [Jitter]: :3 Awesome!

If you click on the Elftown Creature marathon there it says about the entries :)

2007-10-08 [Skydancer]: okies, not a problem at all, there is just so much to read, and I don't have as much time as I used to with my commitments to the Isle of Wyrms.

2007-10-08 [Jitter]: I understand *nods*

2007-10-08 [Artsie_ladie]: Nice, [Skydancer]! Yeah, 'bout the reading, we try to keep the amount of reading to a minimum, but at the same time, we try to cover all the bases. Your wiki, Witches I have Met..., will be a great link to add to the ECM Witch session, when it's started. :D

2007-11-20 [FetishFaerie]: Number 3 is a photo of Amber from http://piratequeen-stock.deviantart.com/ and can be found here: http://piratequeen-stock.deviantart.com/art/Snow-White-47492340 

2007-11-20 [Artemis Management]: Hey, sorry for the confusion. I did not put that up. [bluesteel07] has been on my account and uploaded numerous things that are stollen. I have asked him to take them down, and please let me know if you find anymore.

2007-11-21 [Artemis Management]: Note: all other wikis have been checked. No other people's work has been taken. Thanks for the notice!

2007-11-21 [Artsie_ladie]: [Artemis Management], I suggest you change the password to your account & DON'T GIVE IT OUT TO ANYONE. Anyone that messes around while using your account goes against you, not them. :P

2007-11-21 [Artemis Management]: *laughs* Well, I had seen that picture and saved it because I wanted to show it to a friend of mine who looks remarkably similar to the girl in that photo. And, I was on the phone with [bluesteel07] and asked him to enter in a photo of mine, but he needed to put my name on the piece. He thought that one was mine. But, the mess is all cleared up, and I have changed my password. :D So, I think all is good now.

2007-11-21 [Artsie_ladie]: Good. I like good endings to situations. :)

2007-11-21 [Artemis Management]: As do I. :D

2007-11-21 [Artsie_ladie]: Ok, I have to ask...Is this entry under your username, yours, on ECM Elf Photo? O.o
http://www.elftown.com/img/drawing/73632_1195240404.jpg

2007-11-21 [Artemis Management]: Yes. 'Tis my cousin at Halloween.

2007-11-21 [Artsie_ladie]: Ok, good. :)

2007-11-22 [Artemis Management]: *smiles* I took one of another cousin that won first place in a state contest. And, the one I submitted for the dwarf contest, I took at the Texas Renfest.

2007-11-22 [Artsie_ladie]: Cool! :D

2007-12-14 [Easterling]: Both these two artworks are brilliant... :D Good work [Skydancer] and [Jitter].!! I can't decide which one I like the best, they're both great in their own kind of way...

2007-12-15 [Jitter]: Thank you :)

2007-12-16 [Skydancer]: Appreciation :)

2008-03-03 [Nocternity S.]: hmmm... interesting....

2008-11-12 [Akane Ice]: Quick question, I read the rules but if we have a witchy photo that involves a witch, which is in fact not human but a doll...can we submit that? (Does that even make sence?)

2008-11-12 [Jitter]: Hm it does. And now that you mention it I do have a couple of doll witches that would qualify better than my manip :P

2008-11-12 [Artsie_ladie]: I think it would depend on how 'real' the dolls look. On ECM Troll Photo, a member asked about a statue being accepted and [Hedda] responded with:

2007-11-08 [Hedda]: It depends if it looks like a real troll.

So, I'm guessing the same would apply with dolls. :P

2008-11-12 [Akane Ice]: Alright I will get an example picture of her and see what the council thinks about it...then I will take an official picture! ^^

2008-11-13 [Artsie_ladie]: Ok, sounds good. :)

2008-11-13 [Akane Ice]:

This is a closeup I have of her.

2008-11-13 [Artsie_ladie]: I'll have to get back to you on this and of course, if anyone else has an opinion, I'd like to hear yours as well. :) Of course, the image of submission would have to be uploaded to Elftown, but I'm sure you know this. *winks*

2008-11-13 [Akane Ice]: Naturally ^^ I just took it off my myspace for quick usage. Lol. Downloading is such a drag. Anyhow I am also interested in the opinions of the other council members, because it is a good question ^^

2008-11-13 [Artsie_ladie]: *nods* But as a mod for this contest, I have to make sure I remind folks, just in case they might forget. *winks* Yeah, it can be, especially if one has dial-up. Argh! Yes, it is a good question. :)

2008-11-13 [Akane Ice]: I am begining to wonder the legitimacy of my question though...I know that back tracking on my ideas is stupid but...considering that I did not make the doll, rather bought it off a pagan fansite does that give me a right to post a picture up of her in the first place? Though I did rightfully pay a good sum of money to own her...which may give me more rights to her then I thought...LOL. I am confusing myself, I think...

2008-11-13 [Skydancer]: grins, well, one thing I would comment on, having nothing to do with the ownership or rights, is... that it looks a lot more like a fairy than witch in my opinion. Nice doll though. :)

2008-11-13 [Akane Ice]: I thought that too, actually...LOL ^^ IT is called Pagan Barbie though, so I suppose it is supposed to be a witch. What do you think about the ownership rights though, since it was your argument that made me question it ^^

And thank you ^^ Whether she be witch or fariey, she is certinally one of my favorite material items.

2008-11-13 [Skydancer]: Considering the type of venue the image would be in, as long as you attribute the maker, I don't see any issues of copyright being a problem. Its your doll, and if you want to take photos of it, thats your business. Your not claiming its yours, just that its an example of a witch.

2008-11-13 [Skydancer]: Having said that I think I might consider setting her up as a still life for the competition, maybe some candles, a bit of low light, some burning incense?

2008-11-13 [Akane Ice]: Good point. Now if only I could get some more opinions as to whether she is allowed in the competition at all...^^

2008-11-13 [Skydancer]: :) that I cannot help with. :D

2008-11-13 [Akane Ice]: Lol, That's alright. I will see what the other council members think.

2008-11-15 [Artsie_ladie]: I'm asking in the contest forum about this question of allowing dolls or not. (<forum:Elftown contests> [544383]) I do tend to agree with [Skydancer] on several counts: she does look more like a fairy, perhaps because of her wings? (Do witches have wings?) ...And about the fact that you bought her, I too think you should have the right to photograph her, but it probably wouldn't hurt to give credit to the dollmaker, Mattel, though. ....And setting up an atmosphere more envisioned with a witch wouldn't hurt. But... let's see what others think here and what responses there are also in the forum. :)

2008-11-17 [Akane Ice]: I don't think they do...LOL ^^ Maybe she is better for an Atypical witch section...lol. Oh and yes, the picture I was going to take of her was going to be on my alter, when I was givin an OK. I shall go moniter the forum then, thank you.

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: hmmm well if you have an altar and are a practicing witch, then why not a photo of yourself at your altar? Thats a photo of a real witch. :)

2008-11-17 [Akane Ice]: Of course, but I wanted it to be a more fariy tale like. I am nothing special...

2008-11-17 [Skydancer]: Everyone is unique, and everyone is special, but you have to decide that for yourself. :) Was just a suggestion. :)

2008-11-17 [Akane Ice]: Thank you ^^ And Artsie, I am monitoring the forum and I will do my best with the picture, so long as you think it will fly. (I didn't mean that as a silly pun BTW)

2008-12-01 [Artsie_ladie]: Thank you [Skydancer] for saying that, because people do seem to overlook this, including myself. I'm great at building up others, but I seldom credit myself. If I do, I feel like I'm tooting my own horn or something and this is uncomfortable for me. But it is true that we are each unique and special individuals. ;P

I didn't take it as a silly pun. ;) How much manipulation can you do with the doll image? I would remove the wings for starters. *wonders if I've suggested this before* If you set up an environment more conducive for a witch, take a photo of that environment, and then place her in it, without the wings. This might do it. :)

2008-12-01 [Akane Ice]: I dont think you have...and I am SO not good at photo manip so...maybe I will just skip this contest.

2008-12-01 [Artsie_ladie]: Or you could try the other option that [Skydancer] suggested of you as a witch? Am I trying to talk you into something? Erm, maybe... Whatevah you think is best for you, is the right decision, so I won't be pushy. Whether you enter or not, is machs nichs to me for I still lurve ya! *hug* ;)

2008-12-02 [Akane Ice]: Hmmm it is a good idea I guess, I do have some good witchy stuff. When is the deadline?

2008-12-02 [Artsie_ladie]: December 31, 2008 :D

2008-12-02 [Akane Ice]: Ok that is still plenty of time to congure something up! ^^ LOL. (A little witch joke)

2008-12-02 [Artsie_ladie]: *nods and grins*

2008-12-02 [Jitter]:

Told ya, more the crone-type :P

2008-12-25 [Artsie_ladie]: She's charming! :) I'd say post it. If [Hedda] decides he doesn't want it to go to the poll, he usually tries to use an image somewhere on the pages, if he can. It's not hurting anything to post it, IMO. ;)

2008-12-29 [Easterling]: This is going to be a very hard choice...

2008-12-31 [Artsie_ladie]: *nods* Very good, [Jitter]. :)

Yes, but we need more witches! ;)

2009-01-01 [Easterling]: They're all very good. I think I could vote on everyone of them.

2009-02-13 [Aeolynn]: is this too manipulated?

2009-02-13 [Artsie_ladie]: I can't really tell, because it's mostly black to me. Maybe someone can see it better? :P

2009-02-13 [Aeolynn]: well... its kind of a large image. It's an old manip of mine.

2009-02-13 [Jitter]: I think it's great :)

2009-02-17 [Artsie_ladie]: Thanks, [Jitter]! I trust your eye! :D

2009-02-17 [de Morte]: Hope it isn't too photoshopped.

2009-02-17 [Artsie_ladie]: I don't think it is. I like the added touches. :D

2009-03-16 [Cillamoon]: Question, does it seriously have to be really tampered with? The original image? I've been trying to overlap images to make it super cool, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING!!! The best I can get is to crop the image so there is no background really, and it's just the image. Can I submit just that?

2009-03-16 [Cillamoon]: P.S. All I have to work with is Microsoft Office Picture Manager, and Paint.

2009-03-17 [Artsie_ladie]: Well, it's a bit tricky to picture in my mind exactly what is in front of you, so perhaps, if I could see what you have? If I can help you in some way with something without taking away from it being your creation, I would. :)

2009-03-17 [Cillamoon]: Really?! That would be wonderful! I will send it to you momentarily. Thank you!

2009-03-17 [Artsie_ladie]: Ok, I'll take a look and see what and if I can help you. I'm always glad to help, when I can. :)

2009-03-17 [Cillamoon]: It may be the morning actually. I forgot that the picture is on my work computer, not this one. :(

2009-03-17 [Artsie_ladie]: Ok. Well, whenever you can, it will be fine. :)

2009-04-07 [jaraden]: i think i must have commented here before... i remember commenting.. or maybe i've gone senile again... still, great images here!! can't wait fer the votin to start, although it'll be pretty tough.. loads of amazing pictures, hard to choose just one.... argh!!! you kids must've put a confusing spell on this wiki!!! har har!

2009-04-15 [jaraden]: it seems this poor wiki has been forgotten.. foreshame!!!!!

2009-04-15 [Cillamoon]: NOOO!!! It has not been forgotten!

2009-04-15 [Jewl]: wow.. that woman is VERY voluptuous.

2009-04-17 [jaraden]: a new submission!!! and once again another brilliant image from Skydancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wicked job dude!!!!

2009-04-18 [Skydancer]: I do what I can, really I hope to inspire and get more folk contributing.

2009-04-18 [Skydancer]: And [Cillamoon] go download the windows version of Gimp, its very powerful, can do pretty much anything photoshop can, and its free... http://www.gimp.org/windows/

2009-04-18 [Cillamoon]: OOOOOOOOO! Thank you Marion! I shall check it out in the morning when I am not drinking. lol

2009-04-23 [Iske]: [Kuruni] great one

2009-04-24 [Aeolynn]: They are -all- great :P

2009-04-26 [Kuruni]: It says one entry... so is it possible to add another one? this would help a bit i think...more entries.

2009-04-27 [Lothuriel]: I will find out exactly for you and let you know.

2009-04-27 [Hedda]: [Kuruni]: I suggest that you add another one here and let people suggest which one to compete with and place the other out of contest.

2009-04-28 [jaraden]: i agrees!!!!!!!

2009-05-11 [Kuruni]: Alright! i think i can take a nice shot tomorrow, thanks for answering ^^

2009-07-20 [Cillamoon]: Oooo this should be fun!

2009-08-10 [Cillamoon]: When is this scheduled to go in for voting?

2009-08-10 [Nehirwen]: Directly after the current Unar mainstreet poll. :)

2009-08-11 [Cillamoon]: Awesome, thank you!

2009-08-21 [Urmando The Elfling]: Awe...... To Bad to Sad.... I noticed this contest to late Iwould have had a wonderful entrance: of a "Real" Witch..!!!

2009-08-21 [Cillamoon]: Oh wow! That's awesome!

2009-08-21 [Aeolynn]: huh woah! lol very cool. I vote for late entry!!! >.>

2009-08-23 [Urmando The Elfling]: Thank you [Cillamoon] and [Aeolynn] if only I was in time...
