Well in case no one has been paying attention to Guildwars.com

http://www.guildwars.com/events/cont...07/default.php

For all those creative people out there

Perynne · Nov 09, 2007, 07:47 AM // 07:47

Ooooh, wow! I'll definitely have to try to enter that one.

It'll be hard coming up with a new design for Grenth, but it'll also be a nice challenge.

netniwk · Nov 10, 2007, 07:56 PM // 19:56

Nice,that will be the first contest I'll actualy attend,already got an idea to! The drawing of it will be a bit harder though

Sjeng · Nov 19, 2007, 11:49 AM // 11:49

I sent in my drawing saturday ^^
Would be awesome if it won and I got to see hundreds of players running around with my design ^^

Mamath · Nov 19, 2007, 12:36 PM // 12:36

Seeing your own design running around would be so much fun! And then whenever you saw people randomly wearing them throughout the following years as well! It's the prize that keeps on giving (...prizing? :P)

I sent in my entry today.

At first I panicked and thought I missed the deadline but I'd just calculated PST wrong so it was all good (I'm on GMT +10) ;D

Even if I don't place, this is going to be so great.

No amount of smiley faces can express my excitement for this competition!

Sjeng · Nov 20, 2007, 12:32 PM // 12:32

Yup, deadline has past *whooosh!*

Here's my entry ^^ Hope you and Anet like it :P

Piglou · Nov 20, 2007, 03:37 PM // 15:37

Here is mine! For the Lich!

Sjeng · Nov 20, 2007, 09:02 PM // 21:02

hey that's pretty cool man! sweet drawing skills!

ProgTes · Nov 20, 2007, 09:54 PM // 21:54

Woah very nice, I'd LOVE to see the Lich mask in game! Great work!

ravensong · Nov 21, 2007, 07:44 PM // 19:44

Ugh now I realise how sucky my entry is....

Well wanted to keep the spirit of former horns and here is new grenth` undead rudolf hat! yay...

Here are two versions. I sent the one with hood!

btw Piglou that lich mask is awesome! It would be really great having it ingame!

Only problem is that it isnt quite suitable for christmas but me likes.

StarrTheInsane · Nov 21, 2007, 08:25 PM // 20:25

dude, my entry successfully represents all three ppl above...it's a ram skull with icicles hanging from the horns. That's awesome ;P

haha I had the same idea as well! But due to tons and tons of papers I had to write I couldn't finish my concept sketch. I really do hope yours win, it blew my sketches out of the water.

Good luck!

Darksun · Nov 21, 2007, 10:09 PM // 22:09

lol I think a lot of ppl went with the skull, horns, hood thing.. I know I did!

Nian · Nov 21, 2007, 10:59 PM // 22:59

I went with something different but I'll refrain from posting anything until the contest is over. :d

I really like yours Blaz! Hehe, especially with the hood. That was one thing I thought about myself but had no clue how to go about it lol.

Rawraslan1121 · Nov 27, 2007, 05:01 PM // 17:01

For what its worth here's mine, I didn't send it on time, I thought it was due in December.

By the way did anyone send in a snowglobe by chance?

Kryth · Nov 28, 2007, 01:47 AM // 01:47

This is me. Wish I spent more time to make it look more presentable but I didn't have the time. Oh well.

StarrTheInsane · Nov 28, 2007, 05:13 AM // 05:13

Those are awesome! But y'know what'll happen, right? You won't win the main contest...but then they'll surprise you later by saying "We decided to also have Wintersday in Cantha this year and are using your design too!"

Poor Kryth... I still love your totally rockin' hourglass staff!

Sjeng · Nov 28, 2007, 08:52 AM // 08:52

You're telling us the hourglass staff was designed by Kryth, entered in the "design a weapon" contest once, didn't win anything, and later got introduced anyway without proper credit to the designer!?

That would be a lame trick... That's like saying: "Wow, we really like your design, and we're going to use it too, but sorry, no prizes for you, because we're gonna use it for something different, and therefore it has nothing to do with the DAW-contest anymore." :S

I'm curious to see what non-winning nominees we'll see in the BMP tomorrow :P

Yup indeed!
But i never hoped for victory anyway...did it jsut for sheer fun of it!

StarrTheInsane · Nov 28, 2007, 03:00 PM // 15:00

Haha, no, I think the bonus item designers got something, because I remember Gaile posting in all the forums asking if anyone knew where to find Kryth. And they got a special page on the website too. But wouldn't you much rather your design be used for something everyone can have instead of a rare drop you have to farm or buy in LA? I think it's great they're having the hat design contest, because it's something you get just for having fun at the festival. You don't have to buy anything or farm anything or play all the way through to decide which one of the special items you want.

Can't wait for Wintersday!
