yopu mean the ALIENS aren't just alerted...

All the writeups are done, so the rest of the reveal should go at a faster pace.

Here's xander biscuit's take on Sooh's description:



Well, that was quite the change in perspective. The aliens look like monsters from a late 80s videogame and the vampire could be asleep, but in my opinion, he looks like the embodiment of the :! emoji.

Let see if I was right. What is the next describer going to make of the vampire (and ET/Griffon team?).

bahahahaha

I like that the axe has gone from being actively used in an axe murderer to merely just part of the scenery now, just kind of there by happenstance

Paratroopa is next in line to describe.



Unfortunately, we get no resolution on the sleeping vs nonplussed vampire conundrum. But at least now we are talking about a very specific vampire, and I have to agree with Paratroopa: this dude looks a lot like Dracula. The griffon is now protecting the vampire (against the blandly-dressed aliens, perhaps? Or are they guards as well? We may never know).

iaafr was late, so I asked him to hurry up. This can perhaps explain why the result was so minimalistic:



Every element of the description is there, though. The aliens are disembodied heads now, but is MaltShake going to pick this bait?

I'm surprised they didn't become mummies.

And now, for something completely different, MaltShake:



...yeah, that happened. MaltShake interpreted iaafr's paint as a depiction of a transformation. Uhm, fair enough. But why are they kings, though? Also, we say goodbye to the griffon. More's the pity: I was getting used to him, though he did not replace the owldog-shaped hole in my heart.

People have strong griffin game

I cannot forgive MaltShake for murdering the gryphon in cold blood like this

Already knowing what she was capable of, I was heavily anticipating Lads' painting (random, idiotic aside: no one should ever choose names or nicknames that end with an s. They are a nightmare to comment on).

And she did NOT disappoint.



I don't think this image needs any commentary from me.

An interesting factoid: Lads told me she forgot to remove a bit of white background from the hat-wearing king. Is that going to play a part in the next description? Stay with me to find out!

PokerCrazy94 was tasked with describing Lads' masterpiece. He found that it was an elementary job:



Yep, that little bit of white background has turned into Sherlock. Gotta be honest with you, folks: I don't see it. Let me know if you guys do! I find no other faults in the description, but I still cannot see the hat with a white background as the iconic deerstalker hat.

nevermind, maltshake's description was not a mistake at all

CrimsonFox draws the up chain to a close.



Hmmm. So PokerCrazy's en dash had an unexpected effect: it convinced Crimson that the "Aliens" did not describe the three people that were listed afterwards. Which is sad, because I wanted to see alien Sherlock really, really bad.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Anyway, this is an excellent painting. The aliens are burnt to a crisp, the guitars are shockingly purple, Sherlock's dress looks like something I could have made Crimson paint again if I paid more attention to the picture when I first opened it, and there's even a (presumably dead) guy with a funny, flesh-coloured tee. Thus, with a random detail, death, which was the dominant theme of the first picture, returns to the last.

Starting to make sense now

UD and I image breaking at the same time

Well, looks just about the same

Anyway, that's that for today. Apologies for the somewhat slow reveal (and for the description mishap, of course).

See you all tomorrow at 7PM EST for the down chain reveal.

Awesome paints/descriptions everyone! Great reveal as well UD
