Heh. Nice topic.

Newton, The Geomancer

Newton is a simple guy with a simple life. As far as anyone remembers he lives in an old windmill with his pet cat. And no one bothers Newton. No one, exept the local farmers having a little bit of trouble with moles or bad soil from time to time.
But, in a few minutes something amazing is about to happen, and the greatest adventure in Newton's life will begin...

P.S.: That's a wand.  :P

A quick small entry over here:

(14+1 colors)

2x:


This is Andrus, teh greatest good wizard on earth.

His specialties are all kinds of potions and he knows a lot about herbs and nature.
At the moment he's still trying to make a spell that would stop global warming.

Qualen maintains that his devotion to pyromancy is purely an expression of his rapt appreciation for the sinewy grace and poetic chaos of fire. That it's been years since anyone had the nerve to make fun of his plum cape and high heeled boots is, of course, merely incidental.

Qualen's other love is the theater, although his pursuit of an acting career has not proved as successful as his pursuit of greater understanding of the mystical arts. Most recently he went out for the title role in his local community playhouse's production of Dark Queen of Krynn. His audition was graceful, stylish, and positively consumed with the "it" factor. Inexplicably, though, the part went to an obtuse, well-endowed nymph from around the bend. When asked what reasoning could possible lie behind this obviously misguided decision, the director merely looked pale, glanced at Qualen's wand, and repeated with dubious intonation that the wizard was, "too tall."

Hi there,

original size: double size:

This is Hagatha Christie. She first got interested in the dark magic when she was 9, through a traumatic encounter with a big frog of 8 pounds weight that happened to mistake her for a exceptional lovely fellow. In the following years, she developed an encreasing habbit to turn all kind of amphibians and unwilling men into pink purses.

This is my first compo at all, so thanks for watching and reading ;)


[Edit: 13 May 2006, 02:15]

I had fun, so I just added another entry. I think this will be the one to be judged... assuming that I won't do another one, that is :) Well, here it is: the purple gnome wizard, just about to summon some blue fireball

here is my quick entry. Martha the witch:

She has her very own "witch call service"

since she can fly sorry, her broom is more than 50px long.

She usually flyes nacked, but only in the night time. She is ready to show how she make that to jury, if the jury promise her that she'll get the job...Ã, Ã,  ;)

Ok, here is my next entry.
My witch is not human, but there is less known about these creatures, neither where they come from, nor where they live...(I'm sorry, but I'm very uncreative this morning).
But they are really, really evil....
