New News

Howdy, Hooperheads. It's been a while, huh? As you're all doubtless aware, the 2007 Elsie Hooper Art Contest was so awesome last year that it blew a hole through the space-time continuum and landed here in the form of the Super Mega Amalgamated 2008 Elsie Hooper Art Contest so this seems a good time to get things up and running again here on DA.

Things are rolling in already over on the official site, including a whole batch from ~Yoyobionicle. Other deviants on the contest roster from last year include:

~BlackMoonLord
~Heiroglyphic
~Spock-tM
~TheSykotix
~WanderingFlame

So go hit up their pages and see what you're missing. If you should be on the roster, drop me a note and we can work on filling this space with names.

In the meantime, good luck!



The Elsie Hooper Fangroup

With a growing number of Elsie Hooper fans here on DA, it's about time we had a fangroup to keep us all together and (of course) preach the word to others of an artistic bent. This be that group. Hopefully it will allow us to keep an eye on each others work, share tips and feedback on fanart, and bring that community feeling out into the open when the official contests roll around. From time to time, we may even hold an unofficial contest of our own, just to keep things buzzing.

A very simple run-down:

To join the group, just add it to your watchlist. Sticking the icon in your journal is optional but makes baby jesus smile.

To submit fanart to the group, send ~Hooperheads a note with a link to the deviation. Submissions will be ed in order to keep views/comments affiliated with your account. You may submit as many pieces as you like, as long as it doesn't get ridiculous.

Any community related events (unofficial contests etc.) will be announced in the form of a journal entry or a deviation by ~Hooperheads, so make sure you watch the group.

Be just as cool as you all are at the official site.
