~BIG NEWS!~

Tue Sep 29, 2009, 9:18 PM
It's been nearly a year, you say? What's that? I sure hope you haven't forgotten your faeries! Because...

The Enchanted Gardens are going to make a comeback!

There'll be a lot of changes going on, starting with a total re-vamp and new leadership. This doesn't mean that ~kumomeru isn't going to help run the Gardens anymore. It just means that she'll more than likely help through me.

To start off, I'd like to know who is going to stay and help bring the Gardens back to life with me, and who'd prefer to leave. [And if any one could help me run the club, all help would be appreciated~.] Send a note accepting or denying your existence in the club. Be honest, if you can't be active, tell me. This goes for anyone who wants to help moderate with me. If I don't receive a note from you, I'm going to assume that you're leaving. That is final.

As for renovations, we've got a lot on our plates. This needs to be a conjoined effort between all remaining members.

~The home page needs a facelift. I'll work on a subscription, but it may take time. [I'm broke.] We need a new ID, no offense to ~kumomeru's original ID. If I haven't taken care of it, I may comission a friend to make one.

~We need a story. I don't think we'll be able to thrive without a plot. I'm open to suggestions, so please tell me what you think!

~The Gardens need looks too. Concept art and [possibly] maps would be nice. If anyone wants to take this responsibilty off my hands, I would be eternally greatful.

~Events. We need them. Until we have a storyline, they don't need to be very specific.

~We have a chatroom that no one seems to use. Hopefully that'll change along with some of our renovations.

~Please, PLEASE tell me how I can make things more interesting outside of the dA club! A EG Twitter, facebook group, or TegakiE tag? I don't know... Help me out~!


I know everyone is busy with work or homework, because I know I am too, but please be as active as possible! I didn't attempt to raise this club from the grave just so it can fall flat once more!

I wanted to kick things off with an event. But it may be too early. We'll wait and see how things work out.

One more thing! I'm sincerely sorry to anyone who participated in the Secret Santa before the club died. There was a lot of complications, and if you still have the gifts, that's wonderful. We won't make a big fuss out that any longer. Go ahead and do what you please with them~.

I will be arranging a secret santa event! Just comment on this entry saying you wish to participate in it, and I will add you to the list.
For this exchange, you may draw them however you like--BUT, it must be Christmas-related. santa hat, presents, decorating a tree, whatever. Have fun with it~

:star:Alright, all of the notes have officially been sent out! You must draw the picture by the deadline.
Now, to submit your picture you must do the following:
1. DO NOT submit it to your main gallery, people can see it. What you must do is either submit it to your scraps, or on photobucket and send us the link.
2. We will post all of the pictures (at the same time) and it will be like a surprise
3. Once submitted, you may then post it in your main gallery if you want.

Also, if you would like to specify what you would like, comment on this journal and we will write it up here:

Thank you so much for the entries. We did manage to get a few more and I am so happy about it. They are all wonderful and we will be announcing the winners soon.

Again, I just want to congratulate everyone for all the effort they put into their entries. We will have another event for december that will be tons of fun. (as you could have guessed, it DOES have something to do with the holidays)

Halloween Event! ++EXTENSION++

Sun Nov 2, 2008, 9:10 PM

Welcome to Enchanted Gardens~

:spotlight-left: You may now create a second charcter if you wish to~:spotlight-right:






:star:~:star:~:star:~:star:~:star:

Yes, you heard right. It's time for our first contest:

The Halloween event!


All you have to do is draw a full or 3/4 body of your fae dressed up for halloween. You can draw them dressed as whatever you want, doing whatever you want. As long as we can see the costume clearly, and we are able to tell what they are. You can even include other faes as well. Make sure you send a note titled "contest" with a link to your picture, and we'll add it.

Here's an example~


You have until
:star:October 31st:star:
to turn your entries in! That's plenty of time, so I don't see why we should extend it.

Judging
The judging will be based on
-creativity.
-neatness
-effort

The judges will not be participating in this event, so everything will be fair.

Prizes

First Place Winner
•Feature Deviation for a month
•CG'd headshot by ~kumomeru
•colored bust by ~kumomeru

Second Place Winner
•full-colored waist-up shot by ~BrokenRaine
•colored chibi headshot by ~iGIR
•flat-colored lineart by ~kumomeru
•non-colored sketch by ~kumomeru

If you'd like to offer up any prizes, please tell us and we'll add you to the list~

That is all for now.

:blackrose:Edit:Alright I don't really understand this. Most people that belong to this club wanted a contest, but no one has submitted a single entry. I'd like it if you guys were more involved in the club. The reason it's slow is because of you guys. You need to keep it going and I figured this might have helped. So take advantage of the situation and submit entries to the contest please!

:blackrose::bulletred:EDIT 2: We are extending the contest to :star:November 15th:star: due to a lack of entries. We'd like to give as many people a chance as possible. Good luck and I hope this is enough time~!:blackrose::bulletred:
