Oh, the 21 of something in the picture I like a lot! Thank you for making this out of my idea!
The color idea can be made here also.
And to let each person choose their own theme is very good. First of all you can be more motivated to participate. And second it feels like a celebration indeed.

That brings me an new idea: celebration could be a fitting theme over all. The elves do have festivals, not enough for 12 entries I think, but something joyfull and happy happend everytime. It could be combined with the greatest moments idea (of the original calendar) and there could be happy moments out of the years after OQ.
But just only a suggestion if someone needs a theme.

If there could be chosen individually, could it be possible to pick a theme that was allready picked before? Because we had a celebration theme before I remember slightly...

Something special on a product you buyer can choose how it will be printed I find rather difficult. It must been in the images of calendar.

So I am known for not doable and stupid ideas here are some:

I do like the idea with greatest moments.
It says on the cover: "The moments that define an epic" and the images inside are kinda sorted in order they happen in OQ. I could imagine to make a similar one for Blue Mountain and Broken Wheel, with no OQ or later editions in it. Like continuing the concept for the next quest. - but it will be very limeted. Adding that we can't choose a theme for the calendar, have to choose one great moment for every participant to make a nice timeline or better said not make a moment kinda twice and it must be most colorfull as ever  (the greatest moments calendar is so extrem colored I go blind)
The planing will be special, but I don't know if anyone would have fun making it. I do BTW
To add any new moments from everything but OQ is much more doable. We do have a few calendars where there isn't a OQ in it and I don't know if it is recognizable enough that leaving it out is on purpose.

I do like the idea that the calendar is kinda planed. Like everyone use a specific color in his contribution (one of many). Or a specific animal somewhere in the back - it could be difficult for Zwoots don't live in the snow and I don't think I could draw such cute lizard. A bucket or hat with feathers somewhere in the back - we could discuse what it will be of course. Or the number ten/twenty somewhere hidden or in the open. Or just set everything in morning or evening light.
To do not only a theme but also the art or setting is a little bit like it belongs together.

For the celebration part I could imagine that there could be Dreamberrys in the picture - and they are growing nearly everywhere Pike has been. They could just be in the picture or the theme of the picture.

I know - it's a lot, but maybe someone could use parts of my ideas and make good new ones out of it.

Hi there,

since the talk about the calendar is in a private chat, there are no news for the rest of the fans. The extension deadline has past, will there be a calendar this year?

Is it possible to get an info which homes are allready taken?
Or how many participants are on board?
Must the home be seen as a whole or is a part of their homes like a room or something possible?
Could it be parts of the homes in one picture with panels or other lines to separate them from each other?
Is it a little bit like the theme tribes? To me it seemed very similar.

The private chat is nice, but not so informative for the ones who don't know what to do with the theme. I don't want to sign up just to realise that's no theme for me.

This sounds so interesting. No way they done more in 4 weeks than in 40 years! Looks like this is really happening. I like the concept of it.

The Music reminds me of Jack Wall and I absolutely favor that. I'm a little bit sad, no "A Wolfrider's refelection's" will be in there XD - just kidding

It is so fascinating at which year Wendy started to draw. At 9 or 10 I was not drawing horses this perfect! I was drawing Elf's - from Wendy.

Thanks for your howl, jaRf, I keep an eye out!

The decision that Through the comics can't be used in the calendar had been made last year with nearly the same people. I also admitted last year that it was a stupid idea and it would be a better fit for a challenge. Could we drop my idea out of every upcoming calendar theme discussion, please? that would be nice.
I know I'm stupid, I don't need to read it every year again on the same subject.

For your starting Question, I would like to know the theme before I participate. If the theme is chosen only by the participants and I don't like it, I would drop out then and be no longer a participant. So I'm for the usual discusion and poll beforehand.

There are a lot themes to choose from and the only new idea I have is being inside the most time. Living Indoors. Elves that live inside are seldom so that is a different theme. Trolls fit perfect, Palest Dwellers would and some of the non hunters maybe. So not a good idea (again). Also it is not very uplifting, hopefull or happy to see them also indoors as we are momentarely. If someone can make something better out of this idea - go ahead.

(After looking nearly daily  - except when the side was down for a couple of days -  in here and nothing on my story part do happen so far, I will drop out for at least till after the calendar deadline. After my break I will look what's going on here again. Till then - bye sweet hearts! Keep safe!)

(I'm sorry to hear about your issues, Jeb and I wish you all the best for this difficult time. I like being hunting with Moondrop and hope to do it again someday.)

Antaka still wonders why that wound is bleeding - after Toads sending it must be years since then. But, if Ironglory will deal alone with it, so be it.
She takes the fox and starts looking for a shelter for them all to fit in. (I don't know what it looks like there so Berit decides what I (or Ironglory) might find - a cave, a hut, a tower, a castle ..)

Antaka stops and steps back instantly. She kind of suspected allready beforehand that Ironglory don't want to be taken care of. Or touched, or showing herself. That armor looks like a skin to her, like she never ever was without it.

She looksends back to Yare. "I'm not sure if it's hiding something bad. Both of them don't wanted to show their faces at first. Maybe she has a nose like Toad and is ashamed of it? Or maybe it's the showing in front of men the reason for that behavior."
She says aloud: "It's stupid to die on an infection. Take care of the bleeding yourself or let me help you with it. Old wounds can hurt, but not bleed. If a wound won't close it might be in a bad shape." She close her mouth and ended her sentence in her head: "Or in influence of bad magic..."

She looksends to Toad: "What is with Ironglorys face? Why does she hide it?"

She jumps as the fox drops down between them and looks astonished up to the bird.
"Thank you, Mother bird" she sends to the skies. "Your gift is most welcome." She was a little hungry by now.

If Ironglory was right they could search for shelter. She has no need to be in a show storm again. At least to eat something. And maybe to look up this suspicious wound.
"I do think we make a short rest getting back to strength with eating something. Maybe there is a small cave we can seek shelter."

(OMG! Laluna!!!  :o No, no, NOOOOO!
BTW That Bunny is really disgusting - Irgs!)

Yares words makes Antaka proud in some way. She didn't know him a lot, but his decision to make a difference against his fear at the start by going up that mountain fills her with relieve. They will stop it, together!

"It must be an elf. It can be one of my friends," Antaka thinks aloud. "It can't be Laluna, or Mehadrin. No they can't... or Moondrop... oh, no, I absolutely don't think that. Leaves Wander who is indeed a suspicious person." she looks around and fixes Lady Ironglory as she was just reminded on something.

"You are hurt, Lady Ironglory! What happend, when did it happen? Let us help you."
She rushed forward and lifts her hands in an attempt to get that helmet off to see what the injury looks like underneath. (To Attend to Lady Ironglory, take care off - I do not know if there is a special idiom for cleaning, examine, to dress a wound.)

(Awwwnn ... Toad's hug is sweet. :3
Bad stuff destroyer Antaka, jay!)

Relieved that someone will stop her if she goes mad Antaka sighs. The hug was so cheerfull and right what she needed after that horrors. She blushes slightly about his words and the contact and  says: "Thank you, Sir Toad. I am gladfull you keep trust in me and I hope I can maintain my willpower."
She looks at Yare than at Ironglory.

"I'm not sure what you mean, Lady Ironglory. Some magic of the high ones lingers here and make us think wired things? Can that magic create a monster? That monster in the cave perhaps? Or do you mean one of us is channeling the rotten magic to us, to this pole? Some of us makes the pole use magic on us? Send visions like enchanted boars or bloody snow, can it send me visions? It could be another elf I think, because of the magic. I do feel my sending ability has approved since that pole is out off the way. Like a blockade is lifted. If I come across another pole I will destroy it as well, I think it's blocking our sending ability."

(Bunny needs two dice rolls, or a companion, wow Amberfox, go for it! )

Antaka wakes from her rage. heavily breathing she realise what just happend. She was wondering the same question Toad asked. It was made of dead things, how can they send and how can they scream? She has come up here to solve mystery's but this one, this pole was now shattered on the ground. There are more of them. Endanger her free will.
she watches her hands and starts rubbing them at the snow to get them clean. Pondering on Ironglorys words - you touched it. touched that disgusting manipulating thing! Fear creeps under her skin, fear of being a puppet, being out of her own control.
After feeling more clean she looks at everyone.

"Sorry, for this rampage, I just don't want to kill any of you and don't want taken orders from a monster. I have no idea how this foul magic works, why dead things can send or scream, but I do think it has all to do with the monster in the cave. We do have visions, so why not hear voices from a pole with dead meat?"

She looks at Ironglory. "I have had dreams about a monster high above looking down at bloody snow and the instinct to kill, a hunger infested me. Like they are my own feelings, but they are not. I view from up high through the mother birds eyes. It feels so real and I fear to not see the difference if it's a vision or reality. Maybe I'm infected, I touched the pole, I touched the dead boar in his monster form. Those visions they feel so real. Maybe I am affected easily by this visions? I didn't completely notice what I've just done. I only wanted it to stop giving me orders and I don't want to kill any of you. You are my tribe." Her eyes looks at everyone. She was dangerous in this state. What if she attacks one of them for real? The knights can defend themselves, but Yare? Her eyes lingers on Toad but she said to all.

"I am not sure what I will do, if another vision gets me. If you think I become a threat you have to shun me."

They skinned their own tribesmen? That is horrible!
Antaka looks at Yare in surprise. That pole did send him a message?

And there it was again, that bloody snowfield. And the urge to kill. She did have seen that before. She may be the only one before having dreams of the monster. Now Yare could see the same?

First she had that dream with the bloody snow. And she constantly seeing things from the eyes of another. Since she found that necklace! Like it connects her to another mind! The mountain, the horn's of some elk-deer and the heartshaped cave! All three things are embedded to the necklace and are connected to the monster! And now that pole is sending messages to others! Others that are not wearing that thing!

She shakes her head to silent that voice. With a firm grip she ribs that necklace from her neck and throws it away.
"I will not follow your orders!" she shouts. "Stop sending me visions! Get out of my head! If I should kill, I do kill you, you monster! Or one of your speakman if you don't dare to show yourself!"

She runs to the pole. Are there ropes that keep that thing in place she cuts them to get it lose. She tries to kick it over, to knock it down, push it aside, make it fall to the ground. Tries to make it stop sending messages to Yare and her in rolling it off the mountain or make it fall for a start.

(diced 6 - Pole..., you ask for it!)

(There is a tower on top of the mountain?  :o I just wanted to get to the cave... In little child's voice: "Are we there then?" Can I see Wander's tower from here? Are they similar? Sorry, but where am I and what did it look like? Am I with the group next to the pole?)

Antaka looks for any sign of nearby foes or locals than sends
"Toad, you told about humans on the foot of the mountain you watched. Have you seen anything like this there? Yare, have you seen anything like this ob your previous way up here? What's it for? Is it to scare people off? Shall I take a look around to find the makers of this and send message who they are? Or do we just ignore that ... warning... and keep on going?" She looks around again. "I'm for the latter one..."

Antaka flinches every time the bird sweeps down but stand her ground. She has fear but she have to protect her tribe. Her momentary tribe. Only together they can survive and solve the riddle on top of the mountain.  As Toad has left the nest she slowly approaches back from the bird. There was a cracking sound and she hesitates a short moment. It's hatching! This huge egg is gonna open and a birdling will come out!
"We better move!" she suggest to the others and urge them to quickly move in the direction they wanted to go further on. Away from the eggs. But she often turns around, just to look in amazement how the little one picks his way into live. She would love to take a look but better from the distance. From a far distance... She looks up to the mother bird.
"Thank you for sparing me and my tribe" she sends.

Hearing the noise from the angry bird Antaka turns around. At the sight she slaps one hand at her cheek "Oh no!", she says out aloud.
In an instand she turns around and head back, looks up to the bird. She would join to fight - but maybe there is no need to fight?! It seems no egg was broken so far.
"Mother Bird!" she sends aloud. If she can see from the birds eyes - and she meet Stormsong who can -  the bird must hear her. "Please don't attack, it was an accident! We do mean you and your children no harm! Please leave him be. He is just totally in love with birds. He was attracted to look at your majestic family because your kind is beautiful. And in adoration of beauty he can be clumsy. Please don't be angry."
If the Bird don't reacts to her open sending she will shout the same message, totally aware that it might attract foes. If this bird become a foe it will be a hart time fighting because non of them has a weapon of long reach.

As she reaches the nest again with widened arms to protect the group behind her, she will become aware, what she said about Toad and it will shame her. Why can't she just shut her mouth? The first half of the message stated enough of her reasons. She don't have to point out what a birdloving fool he can be. And he is not clumsy... normally.
"Please don't do them any harm" she says looking up to the bird.

(Yeah, wanted a bird friend so badly ... with being afraid of heights  :D)

Antaka was not sure how to answer. She was afraid to be cast out, if she tells the truth. The one that sees things without being a Seer. The Stupid Seer. But this is not her tribe, they might decide different and have seen such miracle things like the boar. Lying don't get her anywhere before. She sends:
"I do have had visions, seeing from above, seeing ... from the mountain top, seeing snowfields of blood. From someones eyes. From the monsters eyes." She watches the moving eggs. "But I do think, the bird protects it's eggs, in the nest just around the stony cliffs. The unborn children are about to hatch. We better get a move on."

Antaka stumbles and falls. Her fear of heights let her grab the ground like an old friend. Slightly shivering she looks up. No bird she knows off. How big is it? Looks like one could ride on it she assumes.
"Toad, do you know that kind of bird up there? I do feel like it..." She stops sending. She feels afraid to say she was seeing from the bird's view. Maybe it was a sign of losing her mind, or a sign of being a monster or it was just a vision? Does it watches them or just her alone? "I have seen myself from his eyes, from above. Does anyone have seen this kind of bird before? Yare, you?"

She gets back up on her feet. Why dose she saw herself from his view? It could mean stealth was not an option anymore. If the bird has spotted her there was no need in staying low, wasn't there? But if there are no connections between the bird and the humans on the mountain she better stay low. She waits for an answer before continuing silently. If the bird blows their cover or attack them she could change plan.

Hello Heidi!
a very warm welcome from me! I'm always happy to make new friends!

Lesser known character
Huff, the theme I don't know how to forfill at all.  ???
I'm currently drawing on Villains and Heroes - maybe it fits here as well? If Kimo is allowed?

As I has mentioned before, some of that lesser known characters get a bigger space later on. As Ahdri for example. Vaya who died off course not, or Rillfisher, or Brownberry.
Choose who was not often in the calendar sounds like a interesting idea. That could not be Ahdri for she has entry's there. Or choose of less made Fanart? That could be Ahdri for there is not much art off her.
If there is only one panel ever drawn of that character it might be difficult to recognize them and to add a better known character would be okay for me.

So I do have no clue how to decide and will surely need help in picking a character in that.

"In this threat there might be humans involved" she sends to the other three. "It is possible to find a pack of Humans and not one single monster up there" she adds in sending and looks up. Somehow the thought of finding humans chilled her. They seem to be something she could handle. Better than a mind manipulation monster (MMM hihi, alliteration for the win)
Suddenly the thought stuck her. What if this found was a manipulation from the monster because it knows that elves fear humans? What if what she sees wasn't true? She softly taste, bites on the dagger. Not to break her teeth on it but to ensure it is made off stone.

(I hope you do get better soon, Berit! )

Strengthen by the nod of Yare and the words of Ironglory, Antaka looks at Toad. She feels touched and a strange fear of losing all this creeps into her mind. A fear of dying and don't be with him or even her tribe again.
"I know, this mountain is foul, but it's the best way. You three do follow me slowly behind and I will send back to you every time I do see an issue to hear your opinions. I am not sure what to find up there and absolutely not sure what evil lingers there. I will try my best not to be spotted. That will work I'm sure for here is more to hide behind than I am used to from my desert."
She don't have a spare weapon for Yare but feels proud of him. Taking a deep breath she looks at everyone to encourage herself and starts her silent run up to the mountain.

(And diced 2.  ::) Nah, off course I did...  :lol)

Is format a thing now?
I have to admit I do have problems get get my head around that. What does that mean? The theme long friendship (for example) put in a storyline (???) and only draw the first page of it? Or draw only the cover? Have there to be speech bubbles and a framing around it?

Wendy often begins her Comics with a whole page - but we will draw also one page - I can imagine every entry from last calendar's as a Frontpage or first page. So, what is the difference?
It will be a upright format (portrait) that will be a difference.

Pages: [1] 2 3 ... 8
