Awesome

Do me a favor and update your entry form (I had last you were doing fabric) so I can post your updated info and progress gallery

Thanks!

Kiya - That is wonderful. It is the first time I have found a grentch cute

You have so many talents!

Valdis - it is a busy time of year

KiyaKoreena · Dec 07, 2011, 10:07 PM // 22:07

Updated entry form.

Cleaning my craft room this week so I have room to start the second project.

@ Aeronwen. Hehe. It won't be so cute once the mouth is done.

Well... Awesome news

Award prize list has been updated as I'm sure many of you have been eagerly awaiting

TLDR version:
Anet's donation is:
3 x EL Reindeer Tonics
1 x Prize Package A: 1 Charr plushie, 1 Guild Wars 2 artbook (signed!), 1 Guild Wars Mouse
3 x Prize Package B: 1 Guild Wars 2 Artbook (signed!), 1 Guild Wars Mouse
7 x Prize Package C: 1 Guild Wars Eye of the North game box
10 x Prize Package D: 1 Guild Wars 2 t-shirts, Guild Wars 2 postcard book

Awards have "picks" assigned to them for the RL prizes instead of me purely assigning prizes to awards. Awardees will get to choose from what's left in the prize pool when it's their turn.

I hope everyone is as excited about the new prize list as I am

awesome

KiyaKoreena · Dec 07, 2011, 11:55 PM // 23:55

Oooh nice prizes. Must work harder....

Ok, grentch is starting to creep me out. The eyes are a bit iridescent but wont really show until after they get glazed. Might need to get some nail polish and touch them up too though. Later, must not get ahead of myself.

What kind of texture do you think their skin would be? Scaly, leathery, short fuzzy fur?

Sasultra · Dec 08, 2011, 01:36 AM // 01:36

@KiyaKoreena

What is this, and why haven't I heard of this before?! O: Is this some sort of art collection? cause that would be AWESOME.

Also, excited for those shirts. Damn I want one of those shirts.

... of course, the reindeer tonics are nice too. GUH anet; always bringing the best prizes.

Also; question: How do you determine the 'order' for picks for the RL prizes? You say they wont be assigned to categories (good idea) but instead people will get to pick them in order.

... what is this order, and how can I get to the first spot

Is it like the traditional A-net way of Grand prize-->First-->Second-->Honourables? Or do you have some other wizardry in mind?

Edit: School distracted me again before I could remember to provide advice!

@Kiya That grentch looks SO awesome! Really like the wrinkles in the face, definetly feels very grentchy. What was the whole idea again for this? I seem to have missed that with all this real life stuff going on right now :|

` Marshmallow · Dec 08, 2011, 02:59 AM // 02:59

Wow Kiya, thats clay? O__O I bought sculpey clay and never made anything, its so hard and i dont have the right tools r___r

Sasultra · Dec 08, 2011, 04:03 AM // 04:03

Yea it can be tricky. For sculpting and fitting I only used my hands I tried using an exacto knife lol..didnt have any real tools that would of be helpful I should of bought some. All good I like my turn out.

I'm sure Kvinna can give us more info on them when she gets them

And for the order in picks, you can see them in the awards

There's a method to my madness, I assure you

Death By An Arrow · Dec 08, 2011, 04:24 AM // 04:24

Ahh I see now! I may have noticed better if I wasn't cramming right now D:

This weekend I won't actually be able to work on my painting I have planned before the workshop. So I may work on a sketch of that painting and then a sketch of my workshop entry so I can technically start entering.

That being said, I might get a sketch and then won't be able to work on it for... a while DX School is ending for the holidays so I have a bunch of tests, blame them not me!

KiyaKoreena · Dec 08, 2011, 05:03 AM // 05:03

Most of my tools are just regular household stuff (except for the clay rolling machine, which was a great little investment. Really saves your hands.) The things I use most often are a metal chopstick, some paring knives, toothpicks, quilting pin, scrapbooking scissors, the clay rolling machine, and a sheet of plexi so I can easily move my projects from one table to the next. And since necessity is the mother of invention (plus I am cheap and also hate driving to get anything) a lot of other things have been found useful like thimbles, mesh, bottles/lids, etc.

Sasultra · Dec 08, 2011, 06:06 AM // 06:06

@kiya

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ I used altogether tools: Clay, Paper clips as wiring for grentches arms, legs and snowmen legs-wooden base stand to help grentches and snowmen stand up(THE snowmen wouldnt stand up properaly at all I called then drunkards lol, so I had to get my mom to hold one up with string you can see it in the picture the black string

I would of used fishing line, but had none) Qutips

lol I cut them to help make snowmen spikey. The wiring was most hard for the snowmen..omg so hard of the hands, Also used exacto knife...and best of all my hands

...BUT clay rolling machine sounds like heaven Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Morag D · Dec 08, 2011, 09:09 AM // 09:09

ZOMG charr plushie!!!! and gw2 t-shirts.. and art books... YAYAYAY

Kiya, that's a great little grentch, the facial expression is awesome and so detailed!

Aeronwen · Dec 08, 2011, 06:00 PM // 18:00

Kiya, you are right not cute at all now. awesome though.

GeminiJuSa · Dec 08, 2011, 09:36 PM // 21:36

@Sasultra: Thank you. Yeah, I figured there weren't much love going on in the shop, so I thought "Hey, wintersday is perfect for love and cuddling up next to one another" so I got that idea. And also to challenge myself; I rarely draw couples and when I do it's just ugly doodles in a notebook.

@Koreena: This is looking good! You really are good at crafting ^^

Find_&_Seek · Dec 08, 2011, 10:52 PM // 22:52
