Ticket Contest

[Callypso]

Here's a submission! <3 <3 <3 <3

I suppose some credit should go to Gobbo - his sonnet sparked my imaginative juices... and this is what happened!! XD :



-------------------------------------


Sung to the tune of "American Pie" by Don McLean
(Song Link!)


A long, long time ago
In a magical Wonderland
The world was turned upside down
And if the Cards knew what was in store
They might have dead-bolted all their doors
And maybe, avoided the chaos throughout town

But the fog rolled in with heady scent
The tingling air itself was rent
With malice, and unexplainable fear
Every one felt their end was near

There are mysteries, wonders, to behold
Great Horrors and challenges will unfold
Nat has already rolled the “die”
To change the SD’s lives

So why, why’d all those Lowlanders die?
Rotting smell straight from hell
Bodies stiff where they lie
And Selkie corpses dripping ink from their eyes
Looks like Lovett won’t be baking more pies
Lovett won’t be baking more pies

Did you hear in the Court of Spades
Donalda was invited to visit the Selkie Lakes
Sophie joined as a stow-away
Dania, Colin & Joel had work for the day
Mummified Queens leapt up from where they lay
The three’s welcome was clearly overstayed

The rabbits experienced similar fates
Does lost or exploding at alarming rates
Bizarre babies being birthed, it’s true!
Happened to Zane & Kushrenada, too!

Iaso suffered pains in a wayward mist
Courante joined in time to see a bizarre twist
The two left the inn after getting the gist
That a burglar was on the prowl

So why, why’d all those Lowlanders die?
Rotting smell straight from hell
Bodies stiff where they lie
And Selkie corpses dripping ink from their eyes
Looks like Lovett won’t be baking more pies
Lovett won’t be baking more pies

Now back in Hearts’ Court things are off key
Zekki’s worried for his Virtute’s safety
His lover’d been turned to stone
The Hellhounds gang’s been attacked
Court officials descended as one
The Hellhounds' troubles have just begun
Vaska’s seeing Wiglaf’s ghost, in fact

Oh, and while all this is going down
Crazy Mephit’s been let loose in the town
Arkady was trying to get booze
Farran’s need for revenge was renewed
The excited youngsters joined forces on a lark
And the cracked King lunged out from the dark
Successful escape after her sword made its mark
The boys fled for their lives

So why, why’d all those Lowlanders die?
Rotting smell straight from hell
Bodies stiff where they lie
And Selkie corpses dripping ink from their eyes
Looks like Lovett won’t be baking more pies
Lovett won’t be baking more pies

Elsewhere at the Fallen Wing
Officer Rodney arrived at the scene
As well as Pascha and Beraht
A murdered fox thereby did rot
Scuffles ensued, which they promptly forgot
Pascha’s spell radically changed the plot!

Now pan the camera to the looter Kaden
Who met Eurwen who was in search of Ayden
They were involved in a bar fight or two
Then fell victim to a zombie who
Dragged its putrid body across the ground
Blood-curling laughter from its maw did sound
By a trio of Jossigies were the two then found
Zombie mess before their eyes

So why, why’d all those Lowlanders die?
Rotting smell straight from hell
Bodies stiff where they lie
And Selkie corpses dripping ink from their eyes
Looks like Lovett won’t be baking more pies
Lovett won’t be baking more pies

Oh, then on edge of the Outer Bazaar
Nova captured an inkblot with a jar
Whose origins still remain unknown
Fenzik, Othello and Farrago met in one place
And were silently watched by one Talaith
A leveret out on his own

In the Outer Bazaar – Kelsier chased Emery
Then came Karrock, Orrin & Alohilani
A horrid smell to investigate
Wherein they discovered the horrible fate
Carnage that not all the group could handle
They decided they would track the vandal
Their steps guided by light of a candle
To the last of Lovett’s pies

So why, why’d all those Lowlanders die?
Rotting smell straight from hell
Bodies stiff where they lie
And Selkie corpses dripping ink from their eyes
Looks like Lovett won’t be baking more pies
Lovett won’t be baking more pies

Wandering lost in a haze was Catastrophe
The invisible Lachlan she chanced to see
Sergei and Zhenya just happened to meet
They became a group, a strange house to explore
An exploding tiger was more than bargained for
Bristol arrived and shortly after Cat had a treat

And in the end? We’re not there yet!
There’s more to come, and soon I’ll bet
Spells, mutations - magic tokens
Fiends and murders, bodies broken
When the time comes for the contest to disband
And Nat’s revealed what she had planned
To change the fate of dear Wonderland
Then we will all know why:

Know why, why’d all those Lowlanders die?
Rotting smell straight from hell
Bodies stiff where they lie
And Selkie corpses dripping ink from their eyes
Looks like Lovett won’t be baking more pies
Lovett won’t be baking more pies

We’ll all know
Why, why’d all those Lowlanders die?
Rotting smell straight from hell
Bodies stiff where they lie
And Selkie corpses dripping ink from their eyes
Looks like Lovett won’t be baking more pies
Lovett won’t be baking more pies

More Art. What a surprise. Actually I was working on a completely different project and found out I'm mildly allergic to super sculpey. So I decided to sketch to distract myself from the wangst.

Because it was mildly adorable, Amherst, Jo and Remi. I'm sure Amherst wants to kick me in the face now.


Evan having his personal space invaded by Kamina. She's sorry she's creepy, she just wants to make friends.


Heike is not taking stress well. Sopping wet, cold, and panicking The stairs are probably RIGHT in front of his face.


Poor Ichigo, he's now missing his entire ear.


Another thing that I found mildly cute. Malachior telling Conall to behave.


Rosewood is convinced someone just accidentally let out their retarded half a son without supervision. I didn't feel like drawing Rosewood so you can have his feet, Mr. Groceries, and Arkady.

These look fantastic, Kari. :3 I am especially fond of the one with Victor, Ayden and Eurwen (And not just because Victor's in it. XD )

Nat, I have a question: can we collaborate?

[Lucca]

So, I finally drew a few things...though there WILL be ones later that are better and actually colored. >_>

Colin, after he just got his new Title...



Aaaaand Eldy attacking the Ink Monster! (which there was not room to draw)



And then, of course, there's this with non-canon Faust wings. XD;;

[Old Gobbo]

*impossible to understand cute noises*

D'aw de Amwerst won is awdowable!!!!!!!!!

[/|/afamere]

I uhh... fail I think, XD... though this looks better than most of the stuff that I can do on paper though, rofl. I did it with the mouse... >> so I'm thinking if one day I get a tablet, ^_^, I may be able to draw better! For these came strait from my head!!! It was a breakthrough!!!

---

Well when I went to sleep last night, after seeing the bloblings, I had a weird dream... >> this is one of the pieces that I remember, ^_^... it was rather odd, rofl.



And then you have Menefer... poor twisted kitteh... he is soo confused right now, but he was the one that woke me up from my slumber and made me draw, ^_^. I hope someone sets him right... else he is going to be very confused for the rest of his life, XD.

[Nathalia]

Yes, collabs are allowed. <3

Oh /wow/ I especially love your first thread Kari. Your CG skills are ridiculous! For the notecard ones is that marker? The first almost has a watercolour feel to it 0o Gorgeous.

And yay! And excuse to get off my bum and do some art on the weekend. Wondering if the art can be clay work? I just found a ton of sculpey laying around is all :3

[Kari Muffin]

Thank you for the compliments <333 *cheerfully rolls*

I have no idea if this counts, but I made some paper children. Ayden and Rigsy. <3

[The Jenn]

Kari, I love your paper children more than I love most living things on this Earth.
