This is an entry for the Elftown front-page contest. It won't win or anything, but at least it's a bit different than most.
Inside jokes galore. If you spend any constructive time on Elftown and have an IQ of 90 or better, you will have a fairly good idea of what most of these places refer to.
Pauly the Anthro-Dragon has just been in Chinatown, New york City, picking up a good, spicy lunch. As he exits the restaurant, he is whisked to . . . Elftown?
Yes, that is supposed to be Julie Andrews singing and twirling on the hill, although I'm not trying to actually get her celebrity image into the picture. 'I gooooo to Elftown, where my heart iiiiiiiiiisss . . . ', and so forth.
If the teeny weeny desert has tweaked with your depth perception, then my job here is done
Minimal references here---just for the general building shapes, but nothing more.

haha, I hope it wins :) It's very interesting to look at. One notices something new every time :)

Thanks :)
It won't win, because it's generally the same people who always win the Elftown art contests. Favoritism, anyone?
I just hope it proves to be a nice little diversion from all the stuff that looks the same (a fairy here, an elf there), or is almost unbearably pretentious. After all, what other entry features a depth perception-wrecking tiny desert, and Julie Andrews spinning around and singing like its a scene from "The Sound of Music"?
Some random cookie-cutter woodland photo superimposed with a butterfly-winged, Photoshop-tweaked naked lady will likely win the contest, even if it only took a grand total of ten minutes to produce. I spent many hours working on this picture, although the colors (as usual) were kinda rushed
Excuse my sarcasm, but artistic merit rarely if ever is the main deciding factor in official Elftown contests.
