Name: Tommy
Idea for entry: How the Grentches ruin Wintersday.
Art form type: Movie
Progress Gallery Link: Don't know yet.

I'm going to try and do the idea I had last year but didn't have the time for. Hopefully (depending on the deadline) I will this year. It will be a short movie of drawn frames. Something new for me, hope I can understand how to make such movie in time!

Oh my! Learning to make a short movie will be such a cool thing to share with the workshop!

thanks, Darcy! I'm actually online right now or feel free to whisper me whenever you see me in game (going to try keeping GW in background with me set to 'away' whenever I'm working on the comp).

I would also like to donate too, but I want to get my obby armor first. I need to convert some of my ecto to obby shards (why does no one sell obby shards anymore?!), but whatever I have left afterwards can go towards the workshop! I might have some other fine items to donate as well. I could possibly have stuff ready for the weekend... assuming i can find these damn shards >.>

Idea for entry: Undecided (I'll post later when I figure it out)

awesome, DBAA, and good luck getting the shards

Thistle – I can add….
100 Glacial Stones

UPDATE!! =D

Idea for entry: Since the Beginning (A comic or painting of Dwayna and Grenth's battles of Wintersday when they were young). Meant to be humorous and endearing.

As well as the possibility of the other gods cheering them on in the background (melandru voting for Dwayna, etc.)

I also want to do a serious piece for the "all hail grenth" type thing as my second entry. That shall be titled "Hail Grenth"

PS - Ill be donating roughly 20e. Send me a pm in game so I can get em to whoever is doin' the pickup!! :]

Durh, life got in the way again of participating this year.

Good luck to everyone!

Thistle Xandra · Nov 17, 2011, 06:15 PM // 18:15

aero, thanks for the upgraded donation

valdis, thanks for the donation! I've got you on my FL, and feel free to whisper me if you see me online (IGN:Thistle Xandra) since I've usually got GW running in background so I can listen for whisper chimes

Ariena, yay! Glad the tutorials provided are being helpful and inspiring!

I was doing some brainstorming about a new kind of Wintersday Workshop, but Thistle beat me to putting it up xD Awesome work so far on the first post, nice new pics and headers

I was thinking if maybe there should be a category for GW2 themed pictures as well? Seeing that this Wintersday Workshop is quite possibly the last before GW2 comes out. What do you guys think?

I'm gonna give one more try to entering the official contest (for GW1), seeing that Wintersday is my favorite festival right along with Halloween.

I don't know how much I'll be able to be present during the Workshop though, we have some crazy insane times coming up all the way till Xmas. I'll do my best to finish my picture.
So here's my entry thing:

Name: Minami
Idea for entry: A picture
Art form type: Digital (3D and digital drawing combined, most likely)
Progress Gallery Link: http://liviazita.deviantart.com/gallery/33793255

Thistle Xandra · Nov 18, 2011, 12:29 AM // 00:29

Thanks, Minami *hug* <3 (*nudges Minami to brainstorm about Canthan festival workshop*

I actually took some feedback about reducing the categories, so I tried to make categories that were as inclusive (aside from the campfire and grentch, but gotta have those!) as possible so everyone could have a chance at every award. If we get a bunch more entries that are GW2-heavy and participants want a separate award though, then there's a good chance we'll have another award XD

Sierraa · Nov 18, 2011, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Front page article has been posted~ I'll see if I can't get someone to get a twitter post too. :]

Minami · Nov 18, 2011, 12:48 AM // 00:48

Ah all right

The only reason I thought of a GW2 award was because (hopefully) GW2 will be out before the next Wintersday :P

I don't know about a Canthan Workshop... If I remember correctly, Tommy tried to hold it once. I can't remember how it all went, seeing that I was extremely busy IRL at that time. I only heard of it.

Thistle Xandra · Nov 18, 2011, 01:11 AM // 01:11

Thanks, Sierraa!

minami, I remember talking about having a canthan workshop last wintersday workshop, but then it got dropped D: hmm... maybe it was the demand wasn't there

EDIT: Prize packages are up!
