And congratulations for :iconanka-kokos: for getting DD with Revv for Forunth by anka-kokos!!
So this is the day when I close submissions to Imaginaerum Almead Contest

in :iconalmead: group.

I must say just one thing: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I had lots of hard time, being sad because of small amount of entries. But

after few days, you know what? This contest was really important to me. I

had really hard time because of personal problems, and I knew that in the

evening I can sit in front of my laptop with something nice to eat and just

discuss about contest!

Thank you for your feedback! Thank you for telling me how nice was my idea!

Thanks to all the friends that helped me with prizes, and last, but most

important: THANK YOU CONTESTANTS! It's awesome that in the end so many

people entered :3


Below I'll write my thoughts about every single picture for a contest ^^

It's my opinion, but remember, I have asked 3 more friends to help me :3

Last but not least. I will announce winners in less than a week (before

April 9th). Pictures will be judged upon a originality, interpretation of

song and on some level on skills.


There will be two additional winners:for special skills/or effort, and for

very good idea!


Okay, here we go, here you can see all entries with my shorter or longer

comment. And with points for 5 categories: skills, song connection,

originality, and character (if (s)he has right hair color etc)

And guys, if you got 1 for skills or originality.... DO NOT BE OFFENDED. It

doesn't mean that you suck, and I judged it comparing to all entries! So,

for example, you might be super awesome in real life, but in this contest

was someone better, that is the point! And points aren't only MY choice, I

consulted it with few people.

:star:Taikatalvi:star:

Lapsistain rakkain tää näyttämö on
Mis kuutamo kujillaan kulkee
Taipunut havu, kesä hoivassa sen
Valkomeren niin aavan
Joka aavekuun siivin
Saapuu mut kotiin noutamaan

Päällä talvisen maan hetki kuin ikuisuus
Mi pienen kissan jakoin luokseni hiipii
Tääl tarinain lähteellä asua saan mis
Viulu valtavan kaihon
Ikisäveltään maalaa
Laulullaan herättää maan
Taikatalvi by katzueki by :iconkatzueki:

Nice interpretation of song, here main inspiration was meaning of title.

And I couldn't choose better character fur such interpretation than Selene.

Good choice of character, I absolutely love background and Selene herself!

And how artist respected appearance of character. Very good picture!

Congratulations! :D

This is completely different interpretation of song! Here, as artist

pointed main inspiration was lullaby tune of song. And I must say I was

really shocked when I saw this entry. Fatherly love of Ferric, all emotions

coming from this piece. This is probably most original entry from all. I

can also see how much work mirriluna put into this piece, how well she read

my descriptions, she even pointed out exact age difference between Ferric's

daughters!

:star:Storytime:star:
It was the night before,
When all through the world,
No words, no dreams
Then one day,
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart...

A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars

I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear

I am the journey,
I am the destination,
I am the home
The tale that reads you
A way to taste the night,
The elusive high
Follow the madness,
Alice you know once did

Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
Caress the tales
And they will dream you real
A storyteller's game,
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life
Is a limitless chest of tales...

I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear
Aaia by Ren-Li by :iconren-li:

I simply love this background! I love Aaia'a pose! I can see that effort

putted here! Artist respected my design of Aaia, and her face really shows

Aaia's character :D Design of bow and whole composition of drawing is

really amazing. I can't say much about song connection, because it's not

too clear for me, but still very good picture!

The Dreams of Every Man... by EnygmatycNinja

Boobieeeees! Okay I must say I was expecting this, this is 100% enygmatycninja's style. I love Laila's body, whole idea behind this picture, and how he created whole drawing on very specific short lyrics. This IS original, someone thinks outside the box :D

:star:Ghost River:star:
It's a long road down the river deep 'n wild
Every twist and turn a wonder-dale
It's a scary ride we'd give anything to take
Let yourself bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see

Hey you, child of rape, the riverbed awaits
Snow white, pitch-black, your life such strife
Heavenward, deep down, I'll show you such sights
Believe it, we live as we dream / scream

"He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down
If you want me, then do come across"

What is it you dream of, child of mine?
The magic ride, the mermaid cove?
Never met a kinder heart than yours
Let it bleed
Leave a footprint on every island you see

"I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss
Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge
Come across
Death by a thousand cuts
Believe it, we live as we dream / scream"

"I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass
I am the fear and abuse, the leper children
Every eye sewn shut"

"We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will be our last ride
We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town"

Beautifully shy as you are
Never lose your heart
And do come across

Ghost River by SeikoVanM by :iconseikovanm:
I really love that idea and effort that artist put in this drawing. She read my Miranda's description, so she did pretty good job! But I must say I didn't understand song connection. Drawing is rather possitive with bright colors, and song is dark and not too positive xD

Come and share this painting with me
Unveiling of me, the magician that never failed

This deep sigh coiled around my chest
Intoxicated by a major chord
I wonder
Do I love you or the thought of you?

Slow, love, slow
Only the weak are not lonely

Southern blue, morning dew
Let-down-your-guards, I-love-you's
Ice-cream castles, lips-to-ear rhymes
A slumber deeper than time

Slow, love, slow
Only the weak are not lonely

Between Love and Duty by Crida by :iconcrida:
Okay another amazing example. I'm in love with Crida's entry. Why? Because only her truly understood that song. Have you read the lyrics? How sad it is? While I never thought about Forunth and Marco when I listened to it. And Crida connected that song with Forunth so good!

Imaginaerum Entry by kln1671 by :iconkln1671:
I have mixed feelings about this entry. I feel like idea was good. But later I don't know what went wrong. the main point is that I don't see my character here, and connection with song isn't quite clear. So I think that this idea, if artist would put more effort in it, would become quite epic.

Once upon a time in a daymare
Dying to meet you, little child, enter enter this sideshow

Time for bed the cradle still rocks
13 chimes on a dead man's clock,
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

The bride will lure you, cook you, eat you
Your dear innocence boiled to feed the evil in need of fear

Burning farms and squealing pigs
A pool of snakes to swim with, oh sweet poison
bite me bite me

"Ladies and gentlemen
Be heartlessly welcome!
To Cirque De Morgue
And what a show we have for you tonight!"

Restless souls will put on their dancing shoes
Mindless ghouls with lot of limbs to lose
Illusionists, contortionist,
Tightrope - walkers tightening the noose

Horde of spiders, closet tentacles
Laughing harpies with their talons ripping,
sher-chrisss, per-vizzz

The pendulum still sways for you
Such are the darks here to show you, child in a corner,
fallen mirrors, all kingdom in cinders
Aaia by el-e by :iconel-e:
I have nothing to say about this entry. I like idea, and it looks like page from manga. It could be most original picture in this contest. But I think it was rushed. It's too sketchy D; Plus I don't see any connection with song, when it was main theme

:star:Turn Loose The Mermaids:star:
A kite above a graveyard grey
At the end of the line far far away
A child holding on to the magic of birth and awe

Oh, how beatiful it used to be
Just you and me far beyond the sea
The waters, scarce in motion
Quivering still

At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes

Good journey, love, time to go
I checked your teeth and warmed your toes
In the horizon I see them coming for you

The mermaid grace, the forever call
Beauty in spyglass on an old man's porch
The mermaids you turned loose brought back your tears

Forunth by AonikaArt by :iconaonikaart:
I was really surprised when I saw it as first entry! Subtle emotions,

delicate shading. It may sound weird for you, but it suits Forunth very

much ^^ She's quite a dreamy girl. I love the whole drawing, her simple,

but fitting outfit. I can see that Aomori read my descriptions, and

respected all tattoos etc, and it is important for me! :D I don't know if I

see song ispiration same as artist, but I think Aomori tried to show

loneliness of Forunth inspired by few verses?

The Mermaids by Hellatina by :iconhellatina:
I loved both girls here, cause I absolutely love how Hella showed their

personalities in very subtle way. I was touched by this drawing, this is

one of very few drawings that made me go "oh my god, they look like in my

head!" Background might seem a little rushed, but in my opinion it just

gives nice effect

:star:Rest Calm:star:
I went to die in a seaside hotel
Lanes of memory paved by sweet frozen moments

Deathbed memories of home
Never let me go

Every little memory resting calm in me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe

Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
Rest calm and remember me

You are the moon pulling my black waters
You are the land in my dark closet
Stay by my side until it all goes dark forever
When silent the silence comes closer

Deathbed memories of home
Never let me go

Within there's every little memory resting calm in me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe

Death Bed Memories of Home by Newsha-Ghasemi by :iconnewsha-ghasemi:
Okay, pure love here. Not only amazing skills of Newsha, but also

originality of her entry. Selene looks absolutely beautiful, shading of

skin, textures, and whole feeling of that picture! Her choice of song is

also very original and suiting

:star:The Crow, The Owl and The Dove:star:
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

A crow flew to me, kept its distance
Such a proud creation
I saw its soul, envied its pride
But needed nothing it had

An owl came to me, old and wise
Pierced right through my youth
I learned its ways, envied its sense
But needed nothing it had

Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

A dove came to me, had no fear
It rested on my arm
I touched its calm, envied its love
But needed nothing it had

A swan of white, she came to me
The lake mirrored her beauty sweet
I kissed her neck, adored her grace
But needed nothing she could give
For Forunth contest by Solceress by :iconsolceress:
How beautiful is that :D I love their outfits, how Sol made them matching

to girl's personalities. My fav is Forunth here, she has most beautiful

face and dress. Plus you can easily say which girl represents which bird ^^

She took the song quite literally, but quite interesting.

:star:Last Ride of the Day:star:
We live in every moment but this one
Why don't we recognise the faces loving us so

What's God if not the spark that started life
Smile of a stranger
Sweet music, starry skies
Wonder, mystery, wherever my road goes
Early wake-ups in a moving home
scent of fresh-mown grass in the morning sun
Open theme park gates waiting for

Riding the day, every day into sunset
Finding the way back home

Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
the beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high
It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
This moment the dawn of humanity
The last ride of the day

Wake up, dead boy
Enter adventureland
Tricksters, magicians will show you all that's real
Careless jugglers, snake charmers by your trail
Magic of a moment
Abracadabra

:star:The Song of Myself:star:
The nightingale is still locked in the cage
The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs
An old oak sheltering me from the blue
Sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves

A catnap in the ghost town of my heart
She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts
Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the ride
Raving harlequins, gigantic toys

A song of me, a song in need
Of a courageous symphony
A verse of me, a verse in need
Of a pure heart singing me to peace

All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angel wing

All that great heart lying still
In silent suffering
Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
What is left for encore
Is the same old dead boy's song
Sung in silence
All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angel wing

A midnight flight into Covington Woods
A princess and a panther by my side
These are Territories I live for
I'd still give my everything to love you more

A song of me, a song in need
Of a courageous symphony
A verse of me, a verse in need
Of a pure heart singing me to peace

All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angel wing

Now all that great heart lying still
In silent suffering
Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
What is left for encore
Is the same old dead boy's song
Sung in silence

All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angel wing

Character references:
Forunth
: Comm: Precious moments by brassmosquito Prize for Forunth by Funiku Janita-Forunth-Contest by Janjanita I want my tears back by Forunth

Age: 26-27

Race:- Even she doesn't know. Her mother was human, but Forunth doesn't know her father. She can control fire on low level, so she's not 100% human.  

Hair: BLACK (!!!!) with purple shades

Eyes: light purple

Priestess status: regular priestess in Death&Life Temple.

Special properties: piercing under her lower lip, or you can draw her without that piercing, she takes it out later



Family: sister:Selene, mother: Neya, unnamed father


Special abilities: She can control fire on low level


personality: Introverted, mature, kinda dreamy, sarcastic sense of humor


very short story: Forunth is in love with Marco, human soldier. She breaks Law of Temples, cause Priestesses have to be objective in war between human and elves, and their love is definitely something against that law. As priestess of Death&Life Temple except of being regular priestess, she's also well trained assassin. She was hardly injured during battle, and she escaped to the Forest, where Aaia found her- bleeding and almost dead. For no certain reason, biggest human hater- Aaia helped her to go unspotted through Forest and helped her to get to the Daemla's castle, where Forunth could rest and later she could look for some information about position of soldiers, and her next aim.


Selene:

LOOKING FOR PRIZE DONORS! IF YOU WANT TO HELP, COMMENT BELOW THIS JOURNAL! AND IF YOU DONATE A PRIZE YOU CAN STILL ENTER THE CONTEST
Some people asked me "How does Almead look like? It's like Middle Earth of Tolkien, or just medieval imaginary country?"

Almead is big island in fantasy world, similar to Middle Earth. Main story takes place on South, in Varos City (capitol of Almead) and around. There are no Kings, Princes, or any other noble people, the most important people are feudal lords, so if you have biggest amount of land, you have greatest power. Near Varos was build castle where Daemla and her father live, Daemla's father is most important person in Almead, cause he owns all lands on south and west, and there is no other person which owns more. His lands are peaceful and quite rich comparing to the others; outside his territory wars are waged.

There are three main problems of Almead

Wars. on north and east owners of small pieces of land declare war on each other to conquer more land.

Atheism. Their world is build on religion. There is no more important thing than faith in gods in their world, but as painful sickness, atheism is spreading all over the island.

Racism over elves. Elves in Almead aren't noble-like like in LOTR, most elves live in forests or in caves. When humans and other races started to build cities, they started to be mad. Even if humans haven't built any city near to forests, elves still were telling that they are "stealing their land". It started huge conflict between two races.
