heres the digital copy right laws for anyone that feels a desperate NEED to read up on their rights as for me i dont care, as long as the person doesnt take credit for the pic they took im fine with it (if they do then heaven shal open and the wil be smitten.... smiteth.... smit.... *sigh*... slapped upside the head with a lightning bolt.. by the fury of the gods!!!)... im sure all the people of have copied and used art from the masters (rembrant, van gough, mondrian) never got the copyright for those. iv used drawing and pics to do my own poser version of them.. AND i posted them (gasp!!).. and if somebody uses your art and you dont like it.. ask them nicely to remove it explaining why i remember taking a posted pic and postworking a pice of tape onto it.. cuz i sure as hell wasnt gonna take the chance of that leaf blowing awat!.... (shivers in memory) btw great pic's everyone they are really awesome

and mine... Brooke

Here's mine! Good luck to alll! *g*

Since I'm a Mod, my submission isn't up for vote, but I couldn't resist putting in a non-voteable submission. (Not that I'd win, any way, looking at the other submissions so far!) And the image insisted its story be told.

And as I staggered across the glen, I spied my salvation. Jutting out from the verdant green, the rune worn Eternity Stone beckoned me onward. Whispers of peace caressed my ears as the promises of riches had months before. What garish gold had stolen from me, solid stone would return.

The medallion seemed to grow lighter each step, as if it knew it's time had come. It had slaked it's thirst for blood a thousand times over; there would be no thousand and first.

I was but a few arms lengths away when the sky blackened and the gentle breeze died. The medallion blazed in fury, searing my chest as the spirit burst forth in front of me.

"If my master is freed of me, I am freed of my master," she said. Her face curled into a sneer. "And I could feed on whomever I chose." She held up a glowing orb in each hand. "Does my master chose life or freedom?"

I made the only choice I could.

Great images! I don't think mine really counts since I rendered the book and the cloak, but thank you to Lunaseas for the great challenge. :)
