Hurray! A DALI!!!!

i knew daria would be happy lol

That's a pretty neat choice, BBR and Kendra.

Daria -
Did I or did I not tell you that you'd be happy with what we were doing? Haha.

Biggles -
Thanks!
It wasn't easy, but it was certainly fun to interpret.

lmao. Say A dali outloud, and it almost sounds like my name. XD

Testing:

Edit: Linnea: this one seems to be working, I think if you quote it, you can lift the link out?

Edit 2: Now that that's settled, I actually made some avatars a while back in this theme for fun, thinking maybe I'd pair my main with my mule. I never got around to it, but I did save the prelims to photobucket, and I just found them, so I thought I'd share. It's Flora and Zephyr, Half inspired my the myth in general, half inspired by their depiction in Botticelli's Primavera:


Done in DAC, so I didn't get a chance to remove the hair...
The painting (well, the relevant part):


Of course, there are some Waterhouses on the theme as well:

yup that one works... finally lol :P

bloodstainedwings: i haven't been accepting the lighter lemon colors since it is too close to off white, it's a fine line so to make it easier to judge and be fair we've just put the kibosh on them all ( i say we cause daria and i have talked about it together) and yes, thank you for no blue lol it's so hard, eh? :lol: also i was just curious about the item on your forehead... what is it? lol i don't know if i've ever seen it and i'm usually pretty good with what items are :oops:

Before i can accept this wish: there are a few things that are on your entry which aren't allowed. the sun up in the right hand corner has red, the gold forehead item you have from the peacock scythe has some blue, also the arm pieces under the serpent bracers is more red than orange, and lastly the harpy tail has blue/teal... ok four things isn't as bad as i thought lol so i hope you'll consider fixing it :)

Recipe to summon your very own trickster demon

You will need:

A natural stony clearing in the dark LULZ wood
Silly String
Glow in the dark paint
Blood of a rubber chicken
Food Items (favorites provided in method)
Coins or other shiny items

Method:

First, find your self a natural stony clearing in the dark LULZ wood. It must be a LULZ wood to work, The ROFL or ROFLMAO will not work. When you've found your clearing "bless" the area with silly string saying "TEH POWER OF DERP COMPLES U!" thirteen times, or until the silly string is gone. When your done the Trickers blessing you'll have it's attention.

Second, you'll need to bring it to it's full corporeal state. To do this you'll need to paint ancient dirty jokes in it's demonic language. On the outer ring paint the name (or names) of the people you want to see pranked by the demon. In the middle write what prank you'd like to pull. When you've done this you must sacrifice a rubber chicken while reciting "kcuFsekiLkcuPkcuBehT" Backwards. (or other dirty lyric)

Lastly, once you've successfully summoned your demon, be sure to tip it generously. Feed it before you talk to it, if you forget this step it will disappear uninterested. They favor candy, pickles, booze, and butterflies (more brightly coloured the better). Also gold coins can help to distract it long enough to keep from playing it's tricks on you if it didn't like the meal you provided. This is not because it values currency. But because it loves shiny things.

WARNING! An unpassified or angered trickster demon can be volatile to say the least. Ranging from minor stalking and thieving behaviors (I thought I put my keys in my purse...what was that?) to more malevolent kind (leaving dead things around your yard, tripping people, pushing off tall heights)
Also, don't wear anything shiny while summoning. It will become enamored with you and play mean tricks on any future suitors or beloveds. If your eyes are green cover them with a blindfold. They're highly attracted to that colour.
