Default Wintersday hat winners - Congrats Nian!

Well lookie here who won, our very own Nian.
Together with a 300 dollar gaming set you also got bombarded to one of the richest gw-players with a brand new shiny kanaxai miniature.

Well-deserved, congrats!

Let's hope the hair thing doesn't get in the way of things.

Awesome stuff. Oh man, I hope the ice crown glows like chaos gloves, that would be sweet!

Good job everybody! I'd like to see what the honorable mention entries were.

Congratulations. I hope they don't butcher it by cutting out the hair though, especially after reading the disclaimer.

Wow, thank you. At best I was crossing my fingers for a mini Grawl.
I'm not the best at doing small detailed things so instead I was trying to convey the feeling & idea of a hat which was glowy spiky ice shards in a crown(all based on lore). So it was ment to serve as inspiration rather than be a ready-made-product right down to the last detail. The fur-trim is there to hopefully cover the baldness a bit. I doubt Anet will render the hair although it would be hilarious if they did imho. I'm going to refrain from commenting on any criticism I get from this because I honestly can't be arsed. :)

Prizes couldn't have been better because here you have a student with a fancy drawing tablet and a really crappy PC. Thank you Anet+Ideazon <3! (My roommate can have her mouse back now. I will hug the case everyday and with the headset I don't have to listen to my next door neighbour scream and cuss at FPS games anymore! Seriously. :D)

I've seen many contest designs posted here on the forums and they are all so neat and unique. Now that I understood the idea of Vulron's entry I love it and Mike Nashs' entry looks very nice. Reminds me of a FFXII Viera with the white hair. Is that weird? Love it. Can't wait to see the hats ingame...

Funny, I have exactly 3930gold in storage now and I'm not selling the kanaxai. All I get is a bigger e-peen? =P (Don't get me wrong I'm really happy.)
