Mine's mostly done so far. XD I'll have it in definitely.

Mine are sent!

Hm, well I got two in, but I'm not sure if I have two hours left to wrap up another one or if I'm out of time... o.o

Well Riva's in, he's my only one this year hun. ^^; I hope you like his story, it's no epic but I think he's sooo cute...

*bounces around* Well, got Trilanyeth in. =D! Hope it was in time. ^^;

>.>" I know that JKat sent you a message about the internet being down... and since we live in the same building with internet provided by the same (currently lame) residence-people, can I claim a 'get out of deadline free' card, too? :O

TyGryph · Post by **TyGryph** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:36 pm

No, you can't. Cause I'm a mean rotten nasty cold hearted person who never ever lets the rules get broken, let alone bent. And there's no such thing as an internet outage, especially in the residence halls of a University...

*grins*

Of course you can. Please send me your personas as soon as you can.

Sent a pair to you, Ty... hope the story is half-ways decent, I kind of finished it up in a big rush. >_>"

Kat's Morning:

Wake up
Wallow in blankets a little (today is my day off XD)
Get up
Stumble to the computer
Realize the interwebs have been up since last night
OMGWTFBBQ Flurry candidate time!

In other words... I did it! The internet is back and I've got my two in. Thank you, Ty! :DDDD

Yay! *goes off to find the newly arrived and inflict some sort of doom on them*

Snowflakey doom is good doom.

*wriggles in her seat* When's that equinox again? XD I can't wait to see the hatching with these guys, I /know/ they're going to be gorgeous!

TyGryph · Post by **TyGryph** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 1:59 pm

The Spring Equinox is March 20th.

And I'm supposed to have it hatched before then.

Today's the third.
And I haven't finished the images yet. *dies*

*resurrects herself*

(I can't finish them if I'm dead, and if I don't, y'all will kill me for it... >.> )

hksherra · Post by **hksherra** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 2:02 pm

*bounces* I'm so excited... I haven't had this much investment in a single event in a dang long time...

Sherra wants to see the hatching! Sherra wants to see all the beautiful dragons! Sherra wants to see the current candidates! XD *keeps refreshing the sands page*

Sherra is craaaaaz-ah!

*dances about*

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 2:13 pm

March 20th... nice. I'm off work that day. I'm also looking forward to seeing all these dragons. Not to put any pressure on you or anything, Ty...

hksherra · Post by **hksherra** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 2:16 pm

It's Everyone Stare at Ty time! *staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare*

Out of curiosity, how do you make your dragon images? From the look of 'em, you've gotta be doing that all on the computer... Do you sketch first and then go over the sketches, or are you able to completely do that stuff using those click and drag line tools? *peer peer peer*

Xenoqueen · Post by **Xenoqueen** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 2:24 pm

Could you use some help, Ty? With coloring or anything?

Post by **Dray** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 3:11 pm

^^ Seconding Phe. I didn't realize that you were still behind.

Shiolar · Post by **Shiolar** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 3:54 pm

*drops in a third offer to help, if you want it*

TyGryph · Post by **TyGryph** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:40 pm

Wow, thanks for the offers, I appreciate it. ^_^
I may take you all up on that. I've still got ... yeah. Fifteen drawings to "ink" and one ready-to-go outline...

to answer your question, Sherra:

I sketch/draw the images on paper, like normal, and scan them in, and then do all the "inking" with the curvy line tool in MS paint. It is a tedious time-consuming pain in the ass process, but nobody's dragons look like mine, so I think it's worth it. I have been doing this all along, since I made the original Ryslen templates. Fortunately, my art and photoshop skills have improved over time so that I can bring you such new and fanciful Flurry dragons.

The only image I have done solely with the computer is the hatchling Lian.
So cute...

I can throw up a page with the rough steps (sketch, "inking", finished blank) when I get home (only half an hour more until I'm off work) if you want to see.

TyGryph · Post by **TyGryph** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:41 pm

That's the problem with Frenzies -- you let them get out of hand, and you're stuck drawing forever and eighteen days past the deadline. >.>

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:58 pm

Shhhh.

((still not done scanning and coloring Swim dragons.))

Post by **Dray** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 5:21 pm

Ty, when/if you take up that colouring offer, just drop me the templates and the colours you'd like at

dracothrope @ gmail . com with 'flurry dragons' in the title? ^_^' I don't know if I can get the colours to look like yours, but I can try! As for the flurry flakes this year... will you be able to put those on the finished image, or would you prefer the .psd file when I'm finished with it?

:3 Glad to be of service, though! ^_^

hksherra · Post by **hksherra** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 7:33 pm

You know where to find me! I'd love to help with anything you need!

*thwacks Ty* I'm working damn it! >.> Oh, you mean your frenzy.
