| After several festive calendars I wanted to point out the dark side of EQ as well ... but without spoiling the Christmas mood. The German "Rauhnacht" (12 Nights of Christmas), an ancient tradition in the Alpes (google "Perchten") came in mind. There is belief that in those nights good and bad spirits visit the Humans, watching whether they live true to the old rules. Here I had my bad guys, a time for them and a reason! And it works well for several years now. When you find your favorite character among the villians, rogues and monsters it does not mean that I condemn them. They may be ambivalent for me ... or act as an enemy at a certain time ... simply look like a monster in Human eyes ... or represent lingering dangers. The 12 Nights are ahead ... you might have noticed that there are 14 brown windows. I include the Night of Thomas and Christmas Eve, therefore the first door has opened tonight. And from Christmas Eve til Three Kings there will be one more ornament per day - two in the morning and one in the evening ... more or less. (talking of Central European Time CET = UTC+1). Be ready to find some "not so nice" characters there - and maybe a cruel sight. ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| Come again! Be well soon, Kat. *hugs and kisses* I hope you'll feel better ... and yes , I hope for more Pixel Advent too! Absolutely Skot, G0lden! Charming boy, isn't he? ^^ I'm glad Longbranch was recognized too. And one of the other pretties is Smelt, dearly loved by his son Two-Edge. Right as always, Redhead. Almost. ^^ Wait. It will be split. It always splits after 990 replies. We will keep the party in the house nevertheless. See it this way: The first room is well filled. We'll move to the room next door and start decorating anew. You had fun with Skot too, Wolfie. *chuckles* Couldn't resist this sassy picture - a well-behaved Skot would have been wrong. XD If you click the "by Wendy Pini" link after the calendar headline you will find "Law and Chaos" online. There you can learn about all those baublified strangers, Wolfie. WOW ... you've browsed the thread for all the baubles and collages, Yeee? Must have been a long evening ... and it is a great compliment! I've loved ElfQuest ... and I love to make pretty things ... collages with EQ art were another way to be creative. And I wanted to contribute something special and traditional around Christmas time. Not sure whether I'd start such a project nowadays. Impossible to stop with all the positive feedback tho - as long as it brings joy and fun I'll go on! ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| Unknown pretties again, G0lden ... Osek and Mekda as young spirited rockshapers. Not exactly Go-Backs, Redhead ... close connected nevertheless. A friend for Kahvi ... *chuckles* guess Yishana shares some of her interests. ^^ Welcome back, Kat! And welcome pixel pretties. I see you've finished the chiefs line - Bearclaw seems to have reason to apologize. Or he simply adores Goodtree - after all she's a ravishing beauty. Scouter is appropriately dressed as Santa's little helper. ^^ Treestump - sturdy as a tree stump. XD Perfect One-Eye - detailed down to the little bell. And Pike got his patchwork top ... and some dreamberries to munch. This sportive girl must be Krill! Now I'm curious who will come next. ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| All correct except that's not Pike. Figured the smaller size would give her away, hehe. Thank you for your kind words hopefully I won't get too far behind. Most of the rest of the days are doubled up. | |

| Already wondered why Pike is so small, Kat ... the hair color led me to Pike - the brightest orange ever. And the top looked interpretable enough. But after a close look her legware and loincloth lead me to Chitter. Hairdo can fit ... but Chitter is a clear brunette. Leaves Ember ... her teen version with the single leg wrap ... ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| I can't figure out who these two girls are! I have seen them before, I clearly remember the one in the pink baube! I really like the glitters in these two baubles! I love the gold bauble of Yurek! Really nice shaped bauble! It does fit with the image! Now I can get to know the characters of the Law and Chaos Calendar! Stormbringer! I really like the story and the illustrations. Beautiful and sad. I love the relationship between Elric and moonglum! Elric and everyone really. I do feel really bad for Elric... and for the other characters as well. Nice red shaped baubles of Rackhir! Very dark bauble of Sepiriz! It does somehow fit him, but the background with his image makes it seen as if he's a vilian, which he isn't. It's a really nice looking bauble! Beautiful blue baubles of Zarozinia! I really love the white background, the background in the bauble and the little light effects! I love what you did with the heart shaped baubles of Kahvi and Yishana! I love that they both put the curtains aside in a different direction! Many new pixels! Joyleaf and Bearclaw! I love their poses! There's young Scouter Treestump looks very in character with that pose! One-eye looks perfect!!! Little Chitter, I almost though she was a little Tyleet! and as last a awesome looking Krill, another favorite one! | |

| Time to comment again! Your detailed feedback made my day, Wolfie! A boy and a girl for 3. Advent, young adventurous rockshapers - Osek and Mekda. Shiny baubles for the b/w drawings. Yurek always has this "gone with the wind" vibe - he is so unwilling to enter normal spheres. You've obviously read the Law and Chaoes booklet! Yes, Elric's story is a sad one ... almost all characters fit the "beloved dead" theme ... or are dead at least. But I love to play with the colorful drawings - and the unusual colorings. Poor Rackhir ... the tall and straight ornaments fit WP's description of Rackhir himself. And they gave me the opportunity to display two pictures of him. Dark Sepiriz, mysterious Sepiriz - I love his look and how he turned out in the dark bauble. I've realized the "baddie look" ... but I love my good boys dark. ^^ Charming portrait of Zarozinia - thank you for pointing out how much the bauble adds to the effect. Have you noticed how much this style ressembles Toorah? *chuckles* When I saw the curtain scene with Yishana for the first time I've heard Kahvi: "Young. Good shoulders. Do you share?" XD I had to pair up those two scenes and the hearts were perfect for this purpose. for you, Wolfi! Thank you for the chance to make a new avatar as it has become tradition! It's great to have you back for Christmas time, Wolfie. And it's wonderful to see you have a good time. *hugs* And you have fun with Kat's pixel sprites too, Wolfie. Floating Krill ... your imagination feels so right, Redhead! ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.
