Wow, they're setting up already, huh? Thanks for the heads up, Darcy.

I'll probably have to sit out this Wintersday contest again. I've got a ton of projects coming up - that's also going to be finals week for me. But we'll see if I can buckle down and get all these lame assignments out of the way during this month.

If I do, then I'd love to jump into another workshop with you folks.

shady tradesman · Nov 02, 2010, 07:07 PM // 19:07

I haven't received my email yet. Is something going wrong or am I just freaking out? D:

KiyaKoreena · Nov 02, 2010, 07:14 PM // 19:14

I haven't either. Odd since they usually come before the webpage gets posted.

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 agree 100%. if you quit just because you didn't win you have to remember that you didnt lose anything from participating. Everyone learned how to better themselves for future art, and that info isnt something you'd have otherwise.

Plus, everything has something to work on. If you think of it as "What do i need to improve" as opposed to "what do I know" than you're automatically going to do better. In school, for example, if I get 90% on something it's not so much "wow, i got a pretty high mark", its moreso "So i've got 10% away from perfect. what can I do to get that 10% next time".

Did that make anysense or even apply to anything at all? ohwell.

tl;dr: Everyone join the wintersday workshop because it will most deffinatly be even more exciting ^^

besides... my gw2 art book arrived in the mail today

<--Automatic winner. :3

Lol at first it was a small thought in my little mind, but now you people made me worry :P

Edit: @ Death By An Arrow,

Oooh nice,
Carefully flipping the pages like they were made of butterfly wings, smelling the paper and ink when a new page reveals itself, letting your eyes move over every inch of each page, but carefull now, you don't want to look all the greatness away.
Sigh, I remember when my copy arrived

I pretty much did EXACTLY that. LOL
i keep touching the pages as if some of their magic art powers will rub off on my hand finger and I'll instantly havetalent.
Some of the art I havn't seen before, it makes scream inside my body.

Because participating is more important then winning

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

But the Workshop prizes are still to be announced, those are the ones I am waiting for ......

My apologies, Charlie, that is a link to the 2009 contest page. No info on the 2010 one yet.

Sayael · Nov 02, 2010, 11:21 PM // 23:21

I just recieved my Mail with a Doc-File attatched...
Are we supposed to print it and send it to them or what? O_o;

Odinius · Nov 02, 2010, 11:27 PM // 23:27

I filled in everything in Word (removed the stripes), tomorrow I will print it, put my signature on it, scan it and mail it back.
Or at least I think that is how it should be done.

Dutch Sunshine · Nov 02, 2010, 11:47 PM // 23:47

I believe you only need to send it if you won a real-life prize, I can't directly recall what you won, but if you only got a mini guard, then you should be fine with emailing, or at least, that's how last years Wintersday art contest went.

` Marshmallow · Nov 03, 2010, 12:20 AM // 00:20

XD" I printed it, signed it and stuff and scanned it. D: I hope they can read my writing? ,_,"

KiyaKoreena · Nov 03, 2010, 12:24 AM // 00:24

Print, sign, scan and send. Or use photoshop and a tablet. ;-)

Konig Des Todes · Nov 03, 2010, 03:31 AM // 03:31

So when are workshop winners announced again?

I'll post them as early as I possibly can, in the meantime I'm sure the results of the official contest will keep you busy.

the party will be in international dist 1, with radio entertainment brought to you by GW-EN.
Lots of possibilities for prizes then as well, I'll post more info with a reminder as we get closer to that date.

Awesome Actionjack

Ravenhawk · Nov 03, 2010, 01:42 PM // 13:42

lol that is so cute actionjack!

Also not sure about Wintersday...cos I go on vacation during the holidays plus I still don't have any ideas >_>

Oh_Frustration · Nov 03, 2010, 03:15 PM // 15:15

I have an idea and too much free time, so I'd vote for "have a Wintersday workshop!"

Verene · Nov 03, 2010, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Tzu already said she plans on starting the Wintersday Workshop in a couple of weeks
