i need a small pic of either sketch or colored of a pixie :) for the labels on my candles! what i would like is a faerie holding a small candle in her hand,but thats only what i thought of. make what ever you think would look good on a label of a candle and dont forget to sign it! it dont need to be in real detail,like pixie dust or anything.
THIS IS A CONTEST!!!
first place: i will either buy the pic from you or you can get $50.00 in candles
second place: $25.00 in candles
third place : $10.00 in candles
all winners will have their choice in size,scent and colors
try to make the pics fairly small since they will be going on a 1x2 3/4 label. i can down size them though.
so get drawing!!

How much exactly IS $50 worth of candles? Like 10? Or enough to fill up a small car? Or are we talking about the equivilent of a small sun?

I'm not so good with female bodies, but I have been practicing and getting better, so I'll see what I can whip up for you. There's a scanner in my next period class, so I suppose we'll see!

you will have your choices. my votives are $1.00 each 3x5 pillars are $4.00 each and 4x9 are $10.00. i also make hurricane lights that are basically anything embedded into the wax like a photo and a electric light inside.those are $25.00.
so you can have either 50 votives,2 3x5 pillars and 2 votives and so on.

don't think i'm an idiot but what exactly is a pixie?
psyfive
26th November 2003, 00:35
a pixie is one of those things that you see when you eat a pixie stick and then use it as a straw to snort some of that white powder that you found in your dads sock drawer. oh yeah. I shall draw one too.

A fairylike or elfin creature, especially one that is mischievous; a playful sprite.

What you see in the gif are three separate ideas.
I really have no idea how well the large image would translate to a label - I didn't even bother resizing it to see.
I had more in mind one of the two stylized faces.
Everything is sketchy, I'll need to clean all of them up if you pick one.
Oh yeah (1), the thing in her hand and under her chin is a flame. :)
Oh yeah (2), open eyes are easy to add as well. :)
The end.
pixiefied
26th November 2003, 05:03
wow..i really love the one with the flame!

I drew those quick, I was over at the house where the scanner is... I should be getting a scanner around Dec the 5th, (WOH is sending it to me! Yay, thanks! :D) So I might be able to squeeze something else in if you don't like those.

I've tried a lotta stuff over the last few weeks, and the black just seemed like the best......what do you have in mind?
For the meantime, I've photoshoped up an example of what this logo might look like on a pillar candle.

Loveless
8th December 2003, 01:51
I hope you're not asking us to choose. :) Mayhaps you should start a poll? :) Or ask the kiddos?
@ Dead-Beat: if I did that, it'd mess her aerodynamics all up. :D She'd probably be able to swim pretty good though. :p

DAMN RIGHT!
But seriously, after 8 days of no one posting in the thread, it didnt seem unreasonable to ask.
White Raven
19th December 2003, 19:12
-_- I can't get the candle anyways, my mom would freak... Well, I suppose I can ask her... I'll PM you with my address, anyways.
My bet is the fucking bastards will charge me customs. (I had to pay 20 bucks on my own goddamn birthday present. How unfair is that?)

Awesome! Hehe, I knew that you stopping by on Friday with Maria working, she'd buy some, she's such an impulse shopper:D And my mom really loves the Mountain Fresh scent, which is cool, cause she has really bad allergies and is scent-sensitive. She took one of the pillars, lol.
