I guess Tuesday. Shame on you guys. EL advances to the final round, and will face Dain Ironfoot.
THE FINAL ROUND
The Competitors
Dain Ironfoot vs elf lvr
The Challenge
You will design...drum roll...the three hunters! Not only that, but you will design a possession for each of them.
That’s right, you will design Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, and a weapon for each of them. Remake an old weapon like the Long-Knives of Legolas, or go for something completely new like Aragorn’s Cloak. The sky is the limit.
In addition, you will design a condition to be printed in three cultures, , , and . The text on the condition must be the same, the only difference is the culture symbol. Layout must include the culture symbol instead of the traditional single culture symbol. For example...
Forth the Three Hunters!
7 cards, an epic final. And a long deadline.
The Guidelines
They are the three hunters. As thus, they must be hunters. Their weapons must say "Bearer must be Gimli", "Bearer must be Legolas", and "Bearer must be Aragorn", respectively. And it must be a possession or artifact.
The Deadline
Saturday, July 7th. I will be out of town the week of July 1-7th, so it won’t work any sooner. And, its a big challenge.
The Prize
Surprise! I said if I got anything cool I could part with, it would be the prize. So here it is. A Foil Tengwar version of one of the most in-demand copies Theoden ever printed. Theoden, The Renowned!
Have fun! |

Alrighty then. Good thing we have a chunk of time to work.
Good luck to you, EL! |

What with this being such a long deadline, I went and forgot about it. Why do I always do that?
As Treebeard would say, "Don’t be hasty." I’ll have them in today, sometime. I gotta leave soon... but for sure when I get back. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

One of the contestants also made this DC. But, so that it plays no bearing on the results of the contest, I’m not telling you who. To do so, I’m altering the format so that it doesn’t match that of either of the DC makers.
Voting begins now and ends next Wednesday. |
