Woah, forgot about it, but indeed! That was one of my favorites, really should have been in there! But I can't say I don't have a habit of disagreeing with Anets judging..

For as much as it counts for, I really liked your piece Stouda!

whoa thanks guys! Q.Q it really means alot to me, i actually thought i could be in honorable mentions this year (self-confidence is a bitch), but i guess i'd have to try even harder for that.

To be honest, I too am rather surprised that you're not in the honorable mentions either. But again, a lot of the contests are pretty much about whether judges like your pieces or not, and GW official contests do have that tendency. The judges not selecting your piece as a winner does not make your piece less awesome, and you should be proud of yourself about being able to draw so well.

Gratz to all the winners! So many wonderful entries. I think I spent a good half hour admiring all the artwork from the winners. Half of it was spent watching the grand prize winning entry on repeat though :P

Death By An Arrow · Oct 28, 2011, 11:20 PM // 23:20

I have to agree with tommy and arghore, stouda really should have been in the honourable mentions at least. Didnt realize he hadnt won until middle of today when it dawned on me. Some of the winning entries I don't agree with, but I think this year is one of the better years for the judging; there is less I disagree with this year than last year for sure. Perhaps because the prizes were more valuable they had to step the judging up a notch? Oh well. Theres still the workshop prizes!

Just use the motivation of knowing that you should have won into making an even better wintersday painting; then you'll surely win. And who needs a mini guard when you could get a reindeer tonic?

Congrats to all the winners :'33

I hope I can make the Partyyyy * w*!!! -excited-

Death By An Arrow · Oct 29, 2011, 04:27 PM // 16:27

Alright, so in the event I win something in the workshop and we decide on a day for the party;

Lady V · Oct 29, 2011, 04:53 PM // 16:53

Hey guys. This is Verene (lost my password and the reset's not going through for some reason, so I'll fight with it later).

There's really not much I can say other than I am really, really sorry. I should have handed over the reins to someone else when I was getting overwhelmed by real life (between work and my mom being in the hospital, I've had zero time to myself), but I was stupid and stubborn and didn't. I'm really sorry. Please don't kill me.

That said, don't worry that I've run off with the prizes or anything (I'd never do that, and besides, I haven't even logged on the game in over a month now)

I've got a few hours free today, so I plan on basically dedicating all of it to going through everything on here, creating a list of all of the entries, and contacting judges. Whatever I don't finish before I leave for work, I will get back to when I'm back home tonight.

And yeah, again, I'm really sorry.

And, also, congrats to those that did win in the official contest!

Death By An Arrow · Oct 29, 2011, 04:57 PM // 16:57

dont worry about it verene! Real life always trumps guild wars, especially with something sounding that serious.

besides, I don't think anyone wouldve thought you'd steal the prize pool. You're too nice to do that sort of thing. It sounds like Aero has taken over quite a bit and/or was looking for you, if you havent contacted her yet. She needed the judging sheets I believe and/or the names of the anonymous judges (?). You'll find it in the thread.

Hailfall · Oct 29, 2011, 05:12 PM // 17:12

Posting these pictures now, instead of waiting till halloween...

and 3 more under the spoiler.. ^^

She just PMed me ^^

I actually did not have anyone who asked to judge anonymously. So that's not a problem!

Also, go me. I just noticed someone's been keeping up with the first post. Thank you, Aero and Sierraa and whoever else did that! I'll whip up a judging age, then, and send it out.

Death By An Arrow · Oct 29, 2011, 05:40 PM // 17:40

oh dear god hailfall what is that knife doing in your mouth O___O

the face paint looks great, however.

also, how'd you get the eyes white? Photoshop, or some kind of lens?

...-shivers at the knife-

Hailfall · Oct 29, 2011, 05:45 PM // 17:45

Hehe.. I got my tongue split so i just put the knife between there

My eyes are photoshopped as i could not get my white lenses in sadly enough

Widowmaker · Oct 29, 2011, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Got to say, I am surprised Sura didn't place.

I was surprised too. Though that doesn't mean she won't score something here :3 (Go go Sura! x3)

Lady V · Oct 29, 2011, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Also, while I'm here - party. When do you guys want to have it?

Sundays usually work best for me; while I nearly always work on Sunday it's also always a very short shift in the afternoon. Would November 6th work for people?

Also, where? I think my favorite location was Tombs of the Primeval Kings, where we did it last year...

Aeronwen · Oct 29, 2011, 09:10 PM // 21:10

Welcome back Verene

How is your mum doing now?

I have forwarded you all the recent pm's, I think all the old ones are out of date.

Death By An Arrow · Oct 30, 2011, 12:28 PM // 12:28

Sunday the 6th Im likely going to busy, so that isnt good for me (if its good for everyone else though, than I think i can take one for the team

).

UnOrthOdOx · Oct 30, 2011, 03:27 PM // 15:27

Thought you guys might like to see our finished product.
