Now that was amazing. Just absolutely incredible!

I may need to get my computer repaired; I was sobbing from the hilarity of it and the computer paid the price of my glee. Tears all over the keyboard.

I agree with you Nogrod, I am amazed at the visual acuity of TheGreatElvenWarrior. You must be commended for your amorphous picture.

By the way, Elijah Woods really does have extraordinarily long eyelashes. I couldn't help it. He had to look properly distressed. Oh, and did anyone notice the vintage LOTR poster behind 'Frieda' Baggins? My mother used to have one of those.

Lommy, Formendacil - those were just brilliant. I an a great fan of your let's say surreal artwork Formy.

I think glowing knights maybe a speciality of yours TheGreatElvenWarrior, keep it up!

I must say, I believe I enjoyed your drawing the very most Mnemosyne, particularly the avatar-stick figure. That was the last nail in the coffin of my dwindling sanity. Thank you.

Good summery of The Downer Oddwen, I approve.

Hookbill's sentence caused me no end of glee. And resulted in a most amusing drawing by Greenie.

I loved your picture Brinn, I really did. The laser eyes were everything. And Formendacil - that sentence was definitely this round's best. I had to stop reading for a while to recover from it. That IS a complement by the way.

" . . . and the DRAGON is coming . . . " Perfect Beregond! How DID you come up with that?

You flatter me. Thank you.

I can only agree that this was totally hilarious at times... already when I got Hookbill's pic I presumed that it will be so and later Lommy's sentence only confirmed that.

Is it just me, or do you think Form's pictures are getting more and more... how to say it... sophisticated...? Really good, that is. As well as the sentence.

Besides his masterpiece, I must say I was once again amazed by the expressivity of especially Lauri's, Isa's, Lommy's and Oddie's paintings.

TGEW's Frodo is quite funny and has a priceless expression!

I like the bubble at Mnemo's pic ("Bother Bother!")... as well as the stick-characters with the avvies instead of their head (though apparently, not enough to recognise all the participants

). For some reason, what Nog says there seems to me as a thing the real Nog would really say...

And I just love Brinn's picture, as much as Greenie's too. Greenie's square people and the obligatory stellar objects watching over the scene are a classic, and I just love poor Hagrid and the eye-killer Samwise.

And Beregond's final one is just hilarious too - I like the Frodo crossbreed and Beorn with his head chopped off, as well as the baby SpM, and the captions everywhere.

And of course thanks to the Nod, sorry, I meant Mog, including the really thoughtfully open opening picture.

Besides his masterpiece,

All this is going straight to my head... I hope you two know that!

Especially since the picture was done as such mostly because, well, MSPaint was my only functional option--no scanner--and I was trying for something other than run-of-the-mill with that limited option. Glad to see it worked.

Personally, though, I don't think you can top Beregond's "and then the dragon came!" and Brinn's floating Saucepan Baby is still my favourite visual.

An excellent round entirely, though.

Do we need a mod for the next game?

I just wanted to say that I think that Laurinquë's Shelob looks quite cute (well, as far as spiders can).

And to ask to be signed up for Ye Nexte Game.

Laurinque's Shelob actually made me utter the word "gah!", until I took a second look at her eyes. Then I thought she was cute.

Formy's Hexapod is a psychadelic feast.

Eonwe's sentence and Brinn's following pic are brilliant.

This was a hilarious round and you all should feel as warm and fuzzy as Shelob inside.

Please to count me into the next round.

Quite a journey it was from the first pic to the last.

I'd like to join the next round, please.

A Little Green · 08-06-2009, 01:53 AM

Count me in too, please, whoever the next mod is. This was just hilarious.

Laurinquë · 08-06-2009, 02:00 AM

I'd like to be in the next round when we have it up and going again. I need more excuses to draw insane things!
