Congratulations to the winners!

Amazing entries as usual. There's soooo much talent here. :3

Pretty amazing works this Halloween. 8) *three thumbs up*

Congrats to all winners and congrats to Tzu for being awesome all year around lol!

I posted this in the Riverside thread, but I'll post it here too.

Big congrats to those who won! I'm especially glad to see some of my friends placing. Good job guys, you totally deserved it

I would just like to mention and say congrats to those who didn't place too. I know how you feel exactly, 3 times now.

Please remember, the fact that you did not place in the official contest does not reflect on the quality of your work. Many great pieces of art were still left over.

I'd like to encourage all of you to continue submitting artwork for consideration
in the Wintersday Contest. It's always a treat to see such amazing pieces put forward.

I look forward to see lots of you in the Wintersday Workshop, and again, good job!

Don't be let down if you didn't win. If anything it should be an incentive to try harder, to get better, to push your limits! Not just for a contest but for yourself. Not winning and being criticised is part of life and definitely part of being an artist so it's better to get used to all kinds of letdowns. It builds your character hehe. Trying your hardest is also a victory.

There are other contests, other challenges and most importantly, challenge yourself for yourself.

I don't feel let down at all.

I got some nice Photoshop skills out of it and a new Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. I'd consider that to be a 1000% better prize. ^_^
I mostly feel sad that I can't help my little sister buy stuff for her HoM so she can get some rewards in GW2. She has all of 1 monument in there. Just gonna suck to tell her. I tried it last year pretty much for the same reason, and based on the feedback I received on my pic in this thread I thought I had a bigger chance this time around.

Aeronwen · Nov 02, 2010, 08:31 AM // 08:31

Gratz to everyone on the awesome art we had here, lots of good stuff in the official prize winners.

Charlie, I think this needs more punctuation....

Is it 'Charlie loves you, in a totally nonsexually-threatening way.'

or 'Charlie loves you, in a totally non-sexually, threatening way.'

Great to see so many of you who won. Congratulations to everyone.

Congratulations to the winners (and commiserations to those who put so much effort into some great artwork but didn't get anything this time). Charlie I was really rooting for your Gwens, it was such an original idea, glad to see you were one of the winners - and lol @ the reason for the delay, that's made my morning hehehe.

Maybe you can do a few commissions or guru contests to help your sis out? Sorry, I didn't mean to single you out, I wanted to direct the previous post for everyone but I worded it a bit badly.

Grats on the new tablet! That's definitely win win.

Minami · Nov 02, 2010, 10:16 AM // 10:16

Yeah I thought about the commission thing. Maybe in the new year.
I am going to be super busy for the rest of this year, and it will be hard to find time to sit down and draw.

As for entering the Wintersday contest, I don't know yet. We'll see.

I look forward to the Workshop winners announcement, it'll be interesting to see who wins in which category! ^_^

Aww I know what you mean. >.<
I hope you find some time to keep painting even if just a little. I miss having lots of time to draw and soon it's time to start spazzing over Christmas too...

Sorry for the off-topic. I'll step back into the shadows now to stalk the entries this workshop has got hehe.

BTW, when's the party again? I know it's this coming Saturday, but what time US Central? Reason being is that I got a class from 12:30 to 3:20 this weekend (it's a hybrid course and this week we gotta show up...). Though there's a chance it'll get canceled due to a meeting the teacher may or may not need to go to... So I most likely will not make it.

I think it's either 1 or 2 PM CST. O_o but I don't exactly remember.

But yeah winners or not, we all learned a lot of stuff from this workshop. The camaraderie and friendship that formed amongst us makes this activity absolutely worth it! So I believe we're all winners already before ANet announced anything.

(lol overly dramatic speech but it's true)

Also, they didn't have Wintersday contest last year from what I noticed. Will there be for this year?

KiyaKoreena · Nov 02, 2010, 12:38 PM // 12:38

There was a Wintersday contest last year, official webpage just doesn't have a link on their contests page. Hopefully there will be one.

Sayael · Nov 02, 2010, 12:50 PM // 12:50

I shall start to think about a Wintersday Entry now~! *lol* XD

Perynne · Nov 02, 2010, 01:05 PM // 13:05

Hm... I already have an idea for the Wintersday contest. Was gonna use it during a previous year, but didn't have time to enter the contest. I'd love to have a workshop or some such again for that.

@ Nian, eeeee, long time no see. <3

Heh, yeah, same here - if I won, I was going to use that to help my boyfriend and my brother fill up their HoM, and buy my guild leader the minis he needs to finish out his (boyfriend doesn't get to play much because of his internet connection, brother got rid of a lot of stuff before the HoM, and my GL just has exceptionally poor luck with birthday minis).

But oh well. We'll still figure things out!

Good to see you still around GW. I had a little break too because life and it's many troubles intervened. Had to come back to start filling my HoM lol...can't wait for GW2.

These workshops are pretty interesting to follow since everyone's putting so much effort into it. I wonder if there will be a Wintersday one indeed...

'Grats to those of you who won; the winning entries just keep getting more and more creative!

Here is a link to last years Wintersday contest via the wiki.

Boohoo, nothing for me. Guess Anet and I have a different taste.. But congratulations to everyone who did place, aswell as everyone who didn't!

Because participating is more important then winning

(at least thats what I tell myself untill I actually win)
