Pondering Turnips from the Temp

Link of the week Age of Frank @ Planet Fargo @ GameSpy.com Okei, so this is OLD but I still love it. To me, it is the epitome of RTS parody. XD (There is much truth in it as well~!) Any player of those so-called real-time strategy games like WarCraft, Command & Conquer, StarCraft, etc. should get a kick out of this. =D Oh, the recent anti-bunny article is quite hilarious too. ^-^   Contact Lorelai    Submit your Fanart  AIM: Jenova 98  ICQ: 32105014   Lorelai's Archives    Artist Archives  Fanart 2000 Archive  Fanart 1999 Archive   Peruse Me Please    Fanart FAQ  Submission Guidelines Greetings! Once again, it is I, Kouryuu! =D And this time, I am here for an extended stay for I am zee substitute RPGamer fan art maintainer for the following few weeks. >D I shall do my best to maintain the quality standards that Lore has upholded for so long here. ^___^ Hopefully though, I won't scare off too many people with my bizarre personality as it is not my aim to alienate any of ye faithful patrons. ._. So where is the usual hostess? As regular visitors/fan art providers know (or SHOULD know), Lorelai is taking a much needed and deserved R&R from her position here at RPGamer. As a result -- and this is important -- ALL FAN ART SUBMISSIONS ARE TO GO TO KOURYUU@CHICKMAIL.COM until she returns!!! *Ahem* Strange e-mail addresses aside, I'd just like to remind everyone to ALWAYS remember to follow everything from the fan art policy onward when submitting your work because a) it makes both my life and your life THAT much easier if you do, b) I'll be happy, you'll be happy, and everyone will be happy, and c) if ye don't, I have the utmost right to get severely disgruntled at you and NOT post up your fan art -- no matter how gorgeous and creative it might be. On that note, I LOATHE DIRECT COPIES/SWIPES OF FAN ART OR PROFESSIONALLY DRAWN ARTWORKS! If I discover that your submission is actually just a copy or traced piece that was done by someone else, I will IMMEDIATELY throw your piece into the trash. Copying and all is good for practice purposes but the credit does not belong to you. (Heh, thought you can get away with ignoring the rules just cuz I'm not Lore, eh? >D) Now having said all that .... An Army of Pondering Turnips from KouKou How can I contact Lorelai? You can STILL get a hold of Lorelai at lorelai@rpgamer.com for general chitchat, marriage proposals, or death threats. (The Hotmail one is closed now.) Just don't send her fan art though. =P Alternatively, you can also find her milling around at The Art Corner. ^_^ What if I want to get a hold of YOU for general chitchat, marriage proposals, or death threats? If, for some reason, you DO want to write to me, then please forward your mail to kou@ica.net and not the Chickmail.com addy~. Thanks. ^-^ AIIEEE! Where did the Artist of the Week go? I'm sorry but I'm just going to put Artist of the Week on hiatus until Lore comes back. ^^ Call me evil, stupid -- whatever you like -- but I personally don't like to choose anyone to spotlight since in my opinion, EVERY artist is the Artist of the Week. ^^ Instead, I give you Link of the Week where I will choose interesting sites for you to peruse. ^^ So what's with the turnip and all this pondering? It's just this really strange joke (if you can even call it that) that evolved in #artcorner one night. It all began on Whiteboard when I drew a turnip similar to the one you see on the left ... and then, shortly afterward, it lead to THIS (96K, art by Keiiii, deranged dialogue by me). ^^;;; ... And the pondering? Well, look at my sig for this update and you'll see where THAT came from. XP (BTW, that's a Necromancer from Seiken Densetsu III.) Yes, we're an odd bunch (or maybe it's just me) and I invite all of ye to join our insanity too! ^-^ How do you go about doing that? Just get yerself an IRC client & log onto any of the Espernet servers, such as good old irc.esper.net with port 6667 & then hop into #artcorner. ^_^ If you're lucky, you might just catch Lorelai in there too. ^_~
