Wintersday Contest

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

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.

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

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 ^^

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!

Yup, deadline has past *whooosh!*

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

Here is mine! For the Lich!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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!

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

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!
