The Angel - Literature - New Troll

A smile upon her lips
Brown eyes looking into mine
Hair cascading across her face
Her skin a dusky shine
Voice a chorus of hope
Words a tantalizing tease
Grounding me to the moment
Never wanting it to leave

But then she is gone
A darkness in her place
Lonliness overcomes me
No escaping time and space
Life seems so meaningless
No point going on
But I continue anyways
Waiting for the angel to return

Visions of tomorrow
Her hand clinging to mine
A life of perfection
Basking in the sunshine
A world all around us
All for us to share
Happiness upon us
Love's ever-lasting pair

A smile upon her lips
Brown eyes looking into mine
Hair cascading across her face
Her skin a dusky shine

Spoiler: Lord_Ascendant - Literature - Music Of the Night

Keep watch young sister
For the dying of the light
And open your ears and listen
To the music of the night

Wait until the shadows have crept into your room
And then you'll hear the tune calling to you
To wander into the rattling trees
Follow me sister
Don't look back
Revel tonight among the creatures of the night

Dance with your Silhouette
Among the fern fronds dappled in moonlight
Listen as I play upon my harp made of moonbeams
Here they come now, two by two
Creatures of the night just like me and you

People you know
And total strangers
They all flock to hear the music of the night
Dance with your partner round and round
From dusk through the dead of night
Sing along if you know the tune

Sway to the music
As it gets softer and softer
Let it ring in you ears as the sun peeks over head
Run for cover, sister
Don't look back
Come back soon, sister
So you can once again revel in the music of the night

Big thank-you to all contestants and judges.

Favourite here is Merivales, interesting because I don't know what it is but I find it strangely soothing to look at.

Fightgarr. i really like madbird's because of it's emotiveness but the stick figure character just creeps in and annoys me.

So i pick Fightgarr because of the interestingness of the peice, the way it catches your eye with the light beams contrast and the very good shading on the figure.

My vote goes to Pi_Fighter because it's a very quirky way to handle the subject matter. It's also a great photograph in terms of technical execution.

I'm giving the my vote to Fightgarr. That's just impressive and well made.

 

[Trivun]

I'm not sure if, as an entrant, I'm allowed to vote, so if not then disregard this comment. Obviously I can't choose myself , but out of everything I really like almost all of these pieces so it's pretty hard to choose, but assuming I can vote then my choice has to be Lord Ascendant. His story is very well written, drew me in a lot and it has a slightly dark undertone which I like in writing, so there's my choice right there

 

[SharPhoe]

That's about what I thought... *sigh* My vote goes to Fightgarr as well, as I'm clearly outclassed.

Sorry, I didn't get a PM from you about that. It was missed.

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

my vote definitely goes to madbird valiant i dunno why but its pretty cool

 

[New Troll]

All entrees were really good, finalists or not. Personally, I'd vote for Lord Ascendant, though I have to admit words do more for me than images.

I vote for SharPoe! You sure like that little character you made up!

[sup]Its only a tiny bit pity[/sup]

Come on people, you don't have to be an art expert to vote.

My vote goes to Pi_Fighter because it's a very quirky way to handle the subject matter. It's also a great photograph in terms of technical execution.

Also, I find it a little odd that judges are allowed to vote.
