Eo's Terribly Depressing Set Contest!
Tue Apr 12, 2005 6:24 am
Oh yeah, that's right. I love the current set. I do. But I think it's time for a bit of variety... so here we go!
Colours: Blues, greens (no light greens please), reds are okay as long as with black... but generally, either light and dim or dark and depressing colours.
Pictures:
I like Braveheart (a LOT)
LOTR (No Arwen please - Eowyn, YES!)
Harry Potter
Wolves (Muchmuch howlage, yes!)
Gelert (The original! I'm talking Beddgelert. Not Polypups.)
Phantom of the Opera
Animal Farm
Hunchback of Notre Dame (Yes, the Disney one)
Gargoyles (NOT the TV show/movie)
Jackals
Various figures in Egyptian Mythology (Anubis...
)
Inigo Montoya
Text: Put it wherever ye want. Not too much, please.
Lyric from the following are good:

Text from the following also good:
Vengeance has the potential to lay entire kingdoms to waste."
Carrtagh Vesmorren knows that full well. So does every Acharn'nin soldier, even some who are not military beasts. So did every Icthoan as they drew their last breath. Throughout the world the battle between good and evil seems to have made way for vengeance against vengeance... and though it sounds so easy, "forgive and forget", when you have seen the blood of your friends spilt, seen them die, it becomes more engrained in the memory than any brand can burn. And no matter how many strikes you deal in Vengeance... it's never enough.
Spirits be saved, homes be unrent
They have no graves and I must repent
For what I have caused and for what I have done
No day shall be spent under the sun
Without casting one mark for the lives that were lost
For the blood on the moss
For the pain I have cost them - Forgive me.
This mark I lay
On the night of this day
Not for its bearer but to recall.
Vengeance will be
And they shall be free
And then by thy grace I may finally fall.
You think you know despair?
No. You don't know the half of it...
When the cold of a dungeon meets the hot agony that is torture
When the damp of an underground cell meets the dry of your tongue when you are starved
And you know you are too weak even to look up and catch the drops.
When you smell only the reek of your own blood and the stench of the cruel metal
When all you hear is your own screams,
and the ripping of your own skin
And the popping of your own joints
And all drowned out by the laughter of your mortal enemy!
Then you shall know despair.
Other than that...
Oh yes! Prizes!
1st prize: 10,000 NP and a random item from my SDB
2nd prize: 4,000 NP and a random item from my SDB
3rd prize: 1,000 NP and a random item from my SDB
All: Random item from my SDB! ^^

Egyptian? I must! I have a large collection of Egyptian items, books, tattoos and I belly dance. Adding the tiny bit of "glow" around Anubis was fun 
I used the "This mark I lay ... through to .... but to recall" as the text.
image host acting wonky - will upload tomorrow.
Edit, trying again ...

Well, I'm afraid I didn't use any of your listed category items, because I just couldn't quite make them fit, but I did make a depressing set. A very depressing set.
Ah well. I still kind of like it. *nods*

I save the layers for this, so if you want changes in text/color, I can easily do it!
"Of the horse, by the sword"
Hey! I find all the white to be very depressing!

Your prizes might be directly tied to that. We need incentive, y'know.
And also the fact that Eo's been around PPt much longer.

Again, I've made something very differant than what I usually do. Is it depressing enough? 
There are 3 pictures of Eowyn in there, but they're kind of hard to see.
