About this feature:
Finding Star Trek fan art in Elfwood came as a positive surprise to me - although looking at it, it shouldn't have (sci-fi fan art in a Fantasy & Sci-fi art site, go figure :P) But I just haven't seen any before.
This image in the artist's gallery stands out from the other works, although all images but one in the gallery are portraits of klingons. I love the subtlety and simplicity of this piece. Knowing Star Trek klingons, you can clearly see it is one, yet it isn't in-your-face obvious. The colours (echoing the nazi flag - conscious choice or not?) work well to suggest the feudalist and violent society of this race of aliens, and the silhouette is beautifully rendered against the white and red.

2007-03-11 [iippo]: EW back. Feature anyone?
2007-04-15 [Sunrose]: Miew..
2007-04-18 [Perplexity]: =B
2007-04-19 [iippo]: Features people! Please!!!!oneo
2007-05-11 [iippo]: *sigh* This wiki has failed. :( It didn't get Elftowners strolling in the Woods, it didn't get anybody making any extra effort for communication between EW and ET. The gap between the two is just too big, nobody cares and nobody bothers to make the effort to try. :(
2007-05-11 [Linderel]: I have a piece I'd like to feature, but I don't currently have time to be writing about it. :/
2007-05-11 [SilverFire]: At the moment, I'm not sure I *want* anything to do with Elfwood.
2007-05-23 [iippo]: This is cool: Give constructive criticism.
2007-07-19 [Sunrose]: Personally the part where you have to discuss the piece scares me away. I'm not very good at that.
But in general the more work you ask people to do, the less inclined they are to do it. Not everyone has the time or the wish to put that effort in. That doesn't mean they don't like this wiki though.
If you'd ask for nominations only, I think more people would stroll through the woods looking for pieces they can nominate.
But that would mean most of the work would have to be done by you. And so you'd have to decide if it's worth it for you.
I do like this wiki, but I have enough work to do on my own feature wiki to start looking through Elfwood too and write so much about my finds. I've actually started writing less and less about my own features, because my goal is not to criticise but simply to show what we've got. My own opinion is not so important, because it matters more what the watchers think (even though I base my picks on my own preferences).
2007-07-23 [iippo]: Hmm, point. :/ But I do want to get people to speak up about the work too, just looking feels so passive, I want the thoughts that the work raise to be shared too... Will think about it.
2007-07-23 [Sunrose]: Hmm this is indeed something to think about..maybe create some kind of commentformat?
List a number of criteria that people could say something about..
2007-07-27 [iippo]: Bah. You know what - I'll just do it my way, and if no one wants to contribute, then you'll all just have to be brainwashed by my opinions. :P At least it'll be art-talk practice for me. ^^;
2007-07-27 [Sunrose]: Heh :P
2007-08-04 [Linderel]: Cowboy Bebop is not just a movie! The series is much better :O
2007-08-04 [Calico Tiger]: Yeah XD The fridge episode is my fave >:3 But agreed that it's a gorgeous image with the camera angle and the feeling of movement :D
2007-08-04 [Linderel]: It brings to mind Spike's battle scenes... he's so cool. ^_^
2007-08-04 [SilverFire]: Whheeeeeee. <3
2007-09-22 [Lady Evangeline]: Absolutely love this one! It's perfect, and I've never seen anything like this before. Great work.
2007-09-22 [Calico Tiger]: Agreed! They're so pretty. I want one as a familiar in my d&d game :D
2007-10-11 [Lady of Lore]: [iippo] i won't let your wiki die ^_^ I'll feature it on the Art store and I'll get back into gear of recruiting members. ^_^ Does that sound good to you?
2007-10-11 [iippo]: I won't let it die either ^_^; Thank you, And if you could (get people to) write features, that's the best way to keep it going :) If not I'll do one tomorrow. I try to update on fridays, but I was travelling one friday and then uploaded on a monday and then my rhythm went all wrong and I tried to re-pace myself and get back to the Friday rhythm this week. Hopefully it'll work.
But more features from other people would be great. I'm tired of reading only what I have to say, >_>
