***********



----------------------------------------------------------

Still busy - just trying to get online and clear out the journals everyday! Most of that isn't from my computer, either, so not much drawing was happening. Actually, none, until the last couple of days.
I have a couple of weeks of holiday left, but a lot of that is to be spent at work.
I need to finish kiribans, some off-DA art stuff, enter at least one competition, finish commenting on all the people who entered my competition (On that - ~hiddeninmydreams has sent in a new entry, despite my negligence! ...>.> *does happy dance*)

Also, SO MANY COMMENTS I've been trying to read everything, so I don't miss anything important, but will have to come back and answer them all.

Aaaand starting on the next thank you feature. I left it FAR two long, will have to be at least two journals, and I shudder at the size of it if I'd left my watchers in (on that, must do a watcher's feature soon, but I'll leave *naturesounds out, because she features me quite often already so I don't need to be nice to her )

And, the watch list. Some pictures have been sitting there a looong time, because I want to comment on them.

---------------
Quick update.
In the middle of exams, with FAR too much to study >_<
I'm just updating the competition entries today , but it's 2am, so I think I'll leave the notes and all the comments for another day... I WILL answer, but I will be a bit... slow for the next week. (I have... 242 comments and journals right now, plus a pile of notes. I'm trying to READ everything, but answering will have to wait a little).
Oh and adding a new picture, which I've been stealing a couple of hours for, every night...
Also, REALLY have to clear out my message box and run a faves/new watcher's feature soon...

I have some photos I'd like to put up, but I can't get them off my camera. Dratted thing eats a full battery in about two minutes...

And finally, I reorganised my gallery - most of the folders were unnecessary, with the search function, and I actually have enough art to organise it properly now. Also took out the 'contests' from the contest folder as 80% of my work is for, or ends up being entered in, contests anyway

Aggh, between the [censored] RSI, the assignments, and now the exams, I am painfully behind... all these contests flying away... also:

If anyone can help her at all, I will be very nice to them and spare them when I take over the world. Also, bribe-feature stuff...


THE COMPETITION

THEME IS FLIGHT
Interpret as you wish. If the connection is not blatantly obvious, explain it. Good explanations and interesting concepts will get a (which is worthless, but hey - free )

The weird fussy bits
Any art form, including Literature.
Mature content is fine.
NEWLY uploaded work, please, from today (3rd June) onwards.
Multiple entries are wonderful things, but I'm not giving you 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place because you entered four out of five of the entries

I forgot to put in submission instructions. Note me with a link, titled 'flight contest' or similar, and put 'this is an entry for :'devflynn-the-cat':'s** Flight contest' underneath the entry (NOT the note ), so that if I get confused I can still go and check.
**without the ' in it, so that it appears like =Flynn-the-cat

DUE DATE EIGHTH AUGUST 2010 this year (8/08/08)
...yes, I like 8. I mean, 7b

Noone cares about the prizes, do they?
No really, you all want to join in just for the sake of making me pretty pictures, don't you?
Oh.
Fine. FINE. BE that way.

MISC
Thank you to *Poetic-Dragon for her tips on what I should ... NOT be doing in a competition. I've tried to behave this time
Everyone go be nice to them.

If anyone wants to donate something, that would be wonderful and I'll you. Or...uh, not if that is preffered .
If anyone wants to spread the word *coughpimpcough* I'll add a enslaved minions special helpful friends and randoms feature to my journal.
* on that, if anyone's running a competition and they'd like me to include it... leave a comment ^_^



Finally - have I missed anything?
Is anything unclear?
Do I need more salt?


ENTRIES

Also, if you don't want critique on your entries, let me know. I'm going to try and comment on everyone's and when I'm looking carefully I WILL see things that I think I should mention (unless you are amazing ). Also, when i do contest entries I always want critique - especially as you can keep entering if you are unhappy with the original (this also means that you can rework old entries) - so I'd rather tell you what you could improve while you still have time to enter again.
