Yeah, perhaps we should get in contact with someone over at Deviant Art? Perhaps we even could offer something in return to get this done? And also be able to spread the word of their skill too

Who was it that gave you that pro-bono wallpaper last year? I thought that was one of our Deviant Art contacts.

Ęrtac Asimov or something like that.

Ęrtac something, definitely. That dude was amazing.

Ah, yes! Ertaç Altınöz!

His stuff is amazing!

Soooooooooo... Are ya gonna ask him?

Aah, dang. Saw this message now, almost two weeks later I'll drop him an email

Any luck?

I have gotten in contact with him and he's willing He has a quite full schedule, but I'll send him what we got and what we need

I already know it will be terrific!

So do I

Speaking of which, Ęrtac Asimov calling!

Oh my goodness!! It's amazing!!!

Love the avatar, Ertac. Someone tell me where my "Ę" key is.

Thank you!

I wrote Lord Elrond that the badge needs some more work on it. Even if you like the design, it still needs some polishing. I just couldn't find enough free time to do it. But if we are not so close to the announcement day for the winners, maybe I can get back to it, and finish the job.

Just shout at me about the badge, I mean if you don't like something about it, this is exactly the right time to throw me your ideas.

In fact I was joking with "Ęrtac Asimov" as you may already knew. My name is Ertaç Altınöz which has different letters -again- for your keyboard.

Ertac is just fine.

By the way, nice to meet you. How are you today?

I'm not quite sure about the announcement day since we are very behind the schedule that c0c0c0 has created... I think you still have time but honestly it's perfect to my eyes!! Welcome to the Radio Rivendell's forum! Nice to meet you too. Funny you should ask I am doing great!! It was exam day in free sketch and I nailed it! It was a cone next to a cylinder and I even put shadow, hole six shades!! I' m still in embryotic lvl of sketching.....

Hahaha, sorry for being too lazy to actually google up the right names.

The badge is exactly how I would make it, if I developed more neurons in my brain's artistic cortex.

Now Elrond only needs to sell his car to pay you.

Ertac, I suspect you have plenty time to polish it as you wish. We haven't even finished the nominations, much less the voting. We have a few weeks to go, at a minimum, before we'd need the badges.

Welcome Ertac! I love it too! Yes, we are late (again) with the voting process. So you still have a couple of weeks if you need to fix things up!

@Ioanna- I'm glad to hear that. This kind of exercises are our first priority when studying art, unfortunately. It'll be better day by day, just keep practising. Oh, I'd like to see your sketches someday. @Etherlord- Lord Elrond has a car ? o_O! I thought letting Arwen to DancingLeaf Festival in Mirkwood with me would be fair enough . @c0c0c0- Consider it done! @Elrond- Thank you. Ok then. If you like to general look- I mean the composition, the elements, the color sheme etc..- I'll arrange things and add some final touches when I'm able to. After then, I'll send it in PSD format via dropbox again. I had some tries with "the tabard" idea but it was making the design look too crowded so I gave up. Now it looks better with the lantern and the elvish blade, I guess. Oh, and for the last time- it feels so good to be with this community. You can't really know how great it is, listening RR's bandwith while drawing. I'm lurking around. See you later!
