I'm finished with the sketch-phase soon. I'm kinda dreading colouring it, because I like the sketch rather much xD

I might need a few extra days though. I'm not really comfortable colouring in Photoshop (argh!) or Painter (slightly less argh, but still). I miss GIMP.. I might have to put up with the Mac-version to finish the picture..
Anyways, I'll let you know if I need some extra days, I just wanted to warn you ^_^

I'm in the middle of coloring my submission, but it's going very slowly. I hope to get it done this weekend!

Icebird · « **Reply #27 on:** November 26, 2010, 01:09:48 PM »

I don't think I'll be able to finish it--school is taking up too much of my time

Windrider · « **Reply #28 on:** November 28, 2010, 03:19:30 PM »

Sorry to hear that Icebird. If several extra days will help, go ahead and take them. However, as a college prof, I know this contest's deadline often coincides with the start of the massive studying for Finals Week. I am in the same boat so to speak. I am looking at my unfinished cover art and sitting next to it, the huge stack of papers to be corrected.

But yay! We ARE getting some entries trickling in. I swear, you guys always make me worry thinking we aren't going to get any entries!

Afke · « **Reply #29 on:** November 29, 2010, 12:20:22 PM »

Aww, sorry we make you nervous.

But I'm afraid that no matter when the deadline is, I'll always start in the last month. Somehow I need all that other time to come up with an idea that I think is worth drawing.

Oh, question; I have a sketch that I hope to finish soon of an idea that I ditched for this calendar (I think it was a bit too gruesome and not PG13). Is it okay to post that before the calendar comes out because I don't submit it, or do I still have to wait?

Rosalie · « **Reply #30 on:** November 30, 2010, 06:41:11 AM »

Can I please, please, please get a little extra time?
I finally have some spare time AND an idea but couldn't get started before today. I'm working really hard and if my hand doesn't freeze off from all the snow I should be able to get it finished by the end of this week.

It's another winter themed drawing and as far as I know it was only mentioned, not shown. Hope I'm right. $:-\$

Windrider · « **Reply #31 on:** November 30, 2010, 09:23:03 AM »

That's fine, Rosalie. There are a couple other artists who are also asking for a few more days.

Maybe that will give Icebird time to do something, too - maybe even Joselle? hint, hint....
Oh, yeah, and Joyrider, too. I know you always need more time to finish and you ARE doing something this year, aren't you Joyrider dear?

Wildfire · « **Reply #32 on:** December 02, 2010, 08:26:50 AM »

I got an idea! And it'll even be quick to finish if I could please have another day or two.
However, how much nudity/sexual innuendo is allowed for the calendar?

Jeb · « **Reply #33 on:** December 02, 2010, 09:15:17 AM »

Being a prof too I'm also bogged down with end of semester craziness. I've got a pile of about 300 papers to grade by next Saturday, but I've set aside some time tomorrow, so it'll be do or die. If I don't have something in by this Saturday, you can assume that I've been washed away in paperwork.

Wildfire · « **Reply #34 on:** December 02, 2010, 09:22:54 AM »

(Wow, that's a lot of professors! What do you guys teach?)

I am responsible for the most cruel, sadistic torture some college students have to endure - chemistry!

Cruel and sadistic just about sums it up. I was a note-taker for a fellow bio major who had dysgraphia, and watching what *she* went through was all that gave me strength to stick it out.

Actually, I've been surprised how many EQ-lovers seem to have a science background.

Icebird · « **Reply #39 on:** December 02, 2010, 11:43:21 PM »

Has the deadline has been extended? How many days are we talking about? Luck is with me, for once, and I've been given the weekend off from work--if my muse favours my sanity I might just be able to finish my entry. But of course it depends on how many extra days we have gotten

Windrider · « **Reply #40 on:** December 03, 2010, 08:29:03 AM »

If you can get it to me by Monday, that would be great!

Icebird · « **Reply #41 on:** December 04, 2010, 08:36:02 AM »

I'll try my very best

joselle · « **Reply #42 on:** December 04, 2010, 09:51:33 PM »

I may be totally out this year. (unless we don't have 12 entries) The hubby is doing better but I think I have pneumonia again, just to spice things up. And my company is launching our big iphone / ipad app Monday.... so I can't even THINK of starting anything before then. I did riffle through my computer to see if there was anything I could steal / finish to fit in to the theme...and of course there isn't. grr.

Afke · « **Reply #43 on:** December 07, 2010, 07:37:34 AM »

Carol, do you have enough entries? Otherwise I could try to finish my 2nd idea this week (though I should send you the sketch first, because I don't know if it's appropriate).

Icebird · « **Reply #44 on:** December 08, 2010, 12:06:32 AM »

Didn't make it. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! :'(

Windrider · « **Reply #45 on:** December 08, 2010, 09:58:19 AM »

How much more time do you need, Icebird?

Icebird · « **Reply #46 on:** December 08, 2010, 10:01:19 PM »

You really don't have to wait for me. I am nowhere near finished and I only have sporadic sparetime for the rest of December. I'm really sorry

Wildfire · « **Reply #47 on:** December 29, 2010, 03:03:49 AM »

When will the winners be revealed? And will we get to see the rest of the entries at the same time? ^_^

EDIT: Never mind, I moved my lazy butt to the Scroll and found the answer xD

Wildfire · « **Reply #48 on:** December 31, 2010, 09:51:14 PM »

I love the winning entries! They're gooooooorgeous! Good job everyone, and congratulations!

(It's totally possible to view them so I cheated. Sorry!

)

(Also I pretty proud that my entry made it, even though the background is horrible!)

And now I'll go to bed! (It's 6:50 in the morning here xD) Happy New Years everyone!

Windrider · « **Reply #49 on:** January 02, 2011, 03:19:27 PM »

What, no other comments on the lovely job the artists did on their calendar entries?! Is everyone on vacation until Monday?
