I'm loving all of those! Well done, you guys!

This was mostly just for fun. Credits for the idea go to Jonathan Garner!

Very unique, Philie/Jonathan!

Oh I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (you knew I would )

When my brothers get home and see that one.... I know where their vote is going. *chuckles * But they can't really vote. They have a side vote going.

*grins* I hoped it would generate a smile or two.

Are you going to issue awards for "Airianna's Brother's Choice"?

Philadelphia did a good job on it.

*giggles * I wasn't planning on it.

the one above, my sister Adele (20) colored.

Nessie, those are so lovely! I especially like Thanksgiving.

Nessie, have you been doing anything other than colouring? They are all very, very pretty!

*should try and find bits of time today and tomorrow to do spring, like she was supposed to*

I love the hunting one, Phili!

And I like yours, Lady Ness! I really like summer.

Thank you, Elizabeth!

Yes, yes, do it, Raven! Please?

I like Thanksgiving, too!

Perfect, Amanda! Honestly, I was becoming disappointed that no one had written words as part of the unicorn. I had this Inkheart envisioning for one of these.

And A+ on the seasonal change in the unicorn.

Thanks. I didn't even think of Inkheart when I was doing that. It must be too long since I've read/watched it. *makes mental note to get DVD from library soon*

*grins *

Y'all...these are just... *shakes head* Words fail me. Just keep posting pretty drawings. We likes them, precious!

eru

Well, here's spring. It doesn't look as nice in the scan. On paper is has an under-colour of green, but it just looks brown scanned in.

I can see it a little bit, I think, Zoey.

Manda, I love the writing blended in there, it looks really cool.

I love that one, Raven.

Boy, these are all so good!

Wow....my coloring pales in comparison to all ya'lls! I guess I'll post Earth just in case.

It doesn't, Milly! That was very creative; I really liked it!

I love the leaf!!!! It's so good.

Aww, thanks.

This one was mostly colored by experimenting with different shades of green.

Here's mine.

It's a tree and a leaf, you guys!!! Brilliant!

Today is the last day for entry submissions, guys. All entries must be in my midnight tonight in order to qualify. Phase One of judging will begin tomorrow.

I love the color combinations you used, Milly and Raven!

Jonathan! It's wonderful!

*Heart pounds* *Waits for the judging*

Thank you, Philadelphia.

Earth, by Laura.


And... Earth by Bethany.

*triple checks files* I think that's all!

That's neat how Bethany put the continents on the Earth Unicorn.

Good work, girls. All of these are lovely.

*falls over when she see's Bethany's newest submission * That's- *stares blankly for a moment * I didn't even think of that! She captured the essence perfectly!!! A+ on creativity!

That Bethy has talent. *wants to frame that one*

My colouring is really bad compared to you all! Ya'll did such an amazing job!

Thank you Arianna, you probably made my day.

Thanks. You can frame it if you want.

Oh, by the way, this is Bethany/Elisha, not Vanya.

*giggles * You had me confused for a moment, Elisha. I was totally serious, though.

Stay tuned, guys. The artists who make it through Phase One of Judging will be announced this evening in each of the element's threads.

You refuse to get your own account, but that doesn't mean you can hijack mine!

Does that mean I might be able to bribe you into sending me one of your originals?

Bethany, yours is amazing! I would have never thought of that, but is is absolutely stunning!!!!!

LAST ONE!


First off, I want to say that you all made this not only a lot of fun for me, personally, but you made this sooooo hard on your poor judges! Every picture was good and special.

So, what do I mean when I say "who made it past Phase One?", anyways? Well, you know that silly Airi. She likes her systems. I create a system for just about every project I do, and every aspect of that project. So, Clestria, Azlyn, and myself are being subjected to a horrible five phase judging system! You should pity us.

*grins * Anyways, what this means is that there will be 4 judging eliminations. After each elimination, a phase is complete. I will be announcing the contestants who have made it past each elimination for the next 3 days. Then the judges will finish up the next two phases of judging, resulting in the blog post on Thursday which announces the winners. So tune in for the next three days, guys.

These are the people and pictures that made it past the first elimination (in random order).


Phase One Winners:

Earth Pony, by BushMaid

Harvest, by Philadelphia

Yule, by Philadelphia

Earth Unicorn, Amanda K

Earth: Winter, by Ravenofthewood

Hunter, by Philadelphia

Scan0050, by Elisha/Bethany


Feel free to chatter and give congratulations.

I'm trying to figure out what hyper-excited reaction would be suitable for this occasion, and I'm not coming up with anything drastic enough...

*grins *

*Sigh* Earth didn't make it...and she was my favorite, too...

Like I said on the other thread, Milly, this has been so hard! Every picture was special. All three of us judges have a list of things we are looking for to find the winner. So you guys may find some of the pictures that are perhaps the best color/shading wise, do not necessarily make it through a phase. We are focusing on the creativity of the artist in their presentation, and also their ability to portray the essence they are given, well.

So ya'll never know who we might choose. *waggles eyebrows *

Elisha Sirius again, not Vanya.

*Breathes again*

Wow, I made it.



Yes I can. I did didn't I?

I love the fact that everyone's drawing has a nice name but mine.

Yes you did, kiddo. You made it!

Well, it would have had a nice name if the art gallery (kicks the art gallery for you) had chosen to work for your sister. It can be fickle at times. So she put in your scans before judging closed. Unfortunately, scans don't have flowery names.

You are welcome to name it, though! If you make it into the next stage (I do not give anything away ) I'll add your chosen name into the piece, if you want.

*squeals and faints* I... made it in...
