After looking at the drawings again I find it amusing to see how the first three drawings are quite close to one another and it is not until Oddwen's drawing that it start spirraling out of hand.

It must have been funny for Lommy to get that sentence, when thinking back on the drawing I gave her. . .

Hah! Great round guys!

I love Aganzir's entwined Ents...and of course, Ka's and Lommy's pictures as well.

I love this crazy round! But however fine the other pictures are, I must say Nogrod's was simply the best. It is hilarious! I just laughed so much. THE Ka and Agan keep astonishing with their drawing skills - and both their pictures were very funny too, and Ka's treewoman is just gorgeous. Also, I can't believe it how similar Agan's and Rune's pictures are. It is scary. Also, many of the sentences were very funny - actually almost all of them. Rikae's and Legate's amused me the most, though. Oh, this was great. I'm up for the next one, and prefer drawing - although writing is fine too.

A matter of opinion. Even then I am not sure if Lennon had more hairy legs than Hermione

Well, as for next turn, if my round is possible to be done until the last week in June... I don't mind adding some more obligations to the already overflowing exam time

That's because it's always fun being devious with the plot, and I probably couldn't play paper telephone if it became 'paper dictaphone'.

I like the car battery touch everyone, awesome! No, I'm not saying what's inside the 'battery', that's an Alien secret.

First of all, have to say thanks to Finduilas for the sentence. Really liked the fact of not only drawing a soothsaying ent, but 'Kind' of the dead and the phantom.

Awh, thank you. I love drawing ents, and they always look lovely in the end.


Lommy's is beautiful and in charcoal! You're an overachiever, you know that?

Volo's though, hmm, how can I say this... scarred me a bit, which is a good thing really.

I love Agan's ents, especially their faces. Though the hippie Pippin is breathtaking and made me snort. Another good thing.

Classy then, eh Rune? I feel so priviledged now...
Also, a good job to you too for starting out a drawing for this, I don't think I could manage to be in that position without spending an eon thinking of what crazy thing to put in the picture.

Awesome work everyone, really. I know I was missing something from the Downs, glad to draw again with you all.

Looking at this again, I really love the THE Ka changed it from being an evil King of the Dead, to one giving out free hugs of kindness. And obviously she has a quite beautiful ent there. I loved Aganzir's- one of, if not the best drawing in this round. Lommy's is also fantastic.

Thank you. I'm not sure how good a thing it is to laugh even myself while drawing, but this time it happened.

And despite listening to Lommy's 5-minute-long story just the previous night about how she drew the picture and then edited it with computer, I still thought "so she did it with charcoal like she had planned" when I saw it... (a good friend & listener that I am)

Who is going to mod the next round? I'd like to, err, draw.
