Updated first post now, have been delaying it for a while, but everyone and their art should be there now.
And Arghore; thanks, I'll give that a try!
Do mess around with the photo all you like, it'll be fun to see what you'll come up with!

thanks to everyone for the positive responses. makes me less nervous lol
@Qing: i actually really wanted to put a tealight in the bags, but with the cellophane paper i think itd be a bit of a fire hazard lmao. i'm not really sure it'd show up well on cam anyway
@Arghore: i think you're right, i should've added a few of those things. unfortunately, i already sent the pic to my friend for photoshoppage >.< i don't wanna make him start all over, he's really sick and stuff heh. bloody hell, the bat thing is a great idea because of the little rubber bats that hang down from trees and stuff in game. argh lol.

E-COOKIES FOR EVERYBODY AS WHAT FINISHED THEIR ENTRIES! You are all totally awesome.
@Narcissia: Don't worry, it still looks fantastico.
@ravensong: Ooh, that looks even better. And baroque is just so Halloween... *thinks of the Haunted Mansion* Dangit, you made me want to go to Disneyland. EDIT: NOO NOO YOU MUST SUBMIT IT! That's too amazing. Love the overdone baroque picture frame (though I personally would get rid of the GW, it looks a bit out of place)... and the picture of Livia on the table. That is just... wow.
@Tzu: Wow, that's cool. Sorry the picture quality is doesn't do it justice... *wishes she could teleport over and take pictures*
I will be done tonight. I just have to dash over and finish my essay really fast before I can start... and maybe I will try out that new silly-named arena for a little while...
Hey, I had a thought. Ideally, ANet ought to just hand out awards in separate categories (especially if they are being cheapskates on the prizes, they can afford to give more) - costumes, models, decor, drawings/renders. That'd be really cool. Pity they probably will not think of it.

@Tzu: your costume looks amazing, but i'm sure you already knew that lol. if anet takes off "points" for the picture quality, they're stupid and we should go slap em
Qing Guang
I'm up for that! Let's hope we don't have to, though.
Arghore
Ok this one merely for fun, as the photograph inspired me for the edit ... Hopefully Tzu didnt think of this herself, but she did ask for inspiration
Hardest was to match the lighting, and this even has a 50% transparancy black over it, still Tzu pops out, still pretty much makes me giggle this one
Guess there wont be no Mad King this year

By the way I tried what you said, along with some experimentation of my own, and it does look a bit better now:

Tnx, your expression goes very well with my edit, its totally saying "whut?!? What's your problem? Want to be next?"
Yeah that last one is allot better allready ... if you have time you could experiment with drawing in extra shading, to add some more contrast, seeing your right side (left side of picture is somewhat 'over lighted', add some more shades to your left side (right side of the picture); make a new layer, draw with black, set transparancy at like 20%, and draw shading to what gets shading ... then use the 'fainter/sharper' edit tool to make it blend in with the picture ... bit of warning, you can over do it, but playing around with the transparancy helps a bit, dont like it, just delete the layer ... thats how i put the shading in my pict

Seeing this is a workshop
^Original
^layer1, 40% transparant
^layer2, 45% transparant
^layer3, 50% transparant
Judging from the picture i would say you even used 2 light sources, the general light and a spotlight mostlikely
Perhaps next time just use the Spotlight for drama shading, or the general light & Spotlight via wall, for a more general overall lightning
Original shows your work better though, so like i said, you can over do the shading pretty easy depending on what you are going for ...
but for me, im going to bed :P ... for those on the final touchups, dont forget the deadline time, 12 noon PDT so where ever you are in the world
make sure you take your timedifference into account !!

Hey Tzu:
Wow, that armor looks fantastic!!
Amazing job, so well done. ^_^
I'll try and play around with your picture, see if I can do something nice.
Maybe render a nice background for it if I have time ^_^

Well, there are far too many problems with this picture to name, but here's the final version:
I really should have typed the text, but I really didn't want to mess with textboxes...
@Narcissia: I think you may want to include the 'shopping on the box (so they know what it is) - though I think maybe a touch more glow in the center would do, but that's just me - but the eyes I think are kind of creepy with glow, so maybe not on them.

i know, the squash serum eyes do look pretty creepy lol. was just trying to keep it close to the item in game.
hmm i really like the smoke effect coming out of the box. i'll harass my friend, see if he can do something more similar to that, but still keep it blue and kinda glowy like the in game icon. ya know? lol
EDIT:
do either of these look less creepy?

Yes, I made it blue, but it's not enough. Like I said, it was a 10 minute job
Added thin smokes coming from the witch's brew and squash serum too. might be a bit too much.

Sorry, gotta go with without photoshop :\ I think the original photo looks pretty cool, but adding glows randomly can make something cool look really gaudy. Altho the smoke looks kind of cool if you can make it really realistic xD. Just my opinion
*starts working on my entry again :|* (Had a paper due)

i agree with you blue. i think too much photoshop is kinda making it tacky. maybe just the smoke on the box (because i really really love how that looks lol) and that's it.

EDIT: Sorry about the not so good quality, was in kind of a hurry ^_^ I liked this edit the best, added a bit onto it lighting wise. If I could I'd lower the opacity of the smoke coming out of the box though, but it looks good enough as is.
Also, I think that the serum looks better without the glowy eyes.
Everyone's art and projects look great! Sorry I don't have the time to say how awesome you all are individually.

Holy crap, Tzu. The costume turned out great.
And, as should be no surprise considering my absences lately, I'm once again pulling from the competition. School and work have just kept me too busy, and I'm kinda sick right now, too. I know the deadline isn't until tomorrow afternoon...but unfortunately I'm working all day tomorrow so I can't work on something and submit last minute.
sigh. Sucks. Oh well.
Narcissia, that looks awesome. I'd say leave it unPhotoshopped, though.

@ Qing Guang: That's really cute XD I like how the costumes turned out in the end!
@ Verene: :/ there's wintersday though! I sure hope you'll be joining us then!
@ Narcissia: I think the smoke looks nice, makes the picture come to life more. :3

Looks like it would be more for wintersday though. Although it does match the jora costume, maybe make it a bit more halloweeny? Add pumpkins on the corners or something =P
Looks excellent though!

Looks excellent though! i think her entry is about the costume itself, the winners who had costume entries in previous years did not make theirs look "halloweeny", so its probably more about replication.

Tzu, the background behind the words 'Jora' is not very attractive. You might also want a more 'wintery' frame framing the pictures.

Qing Guang
Tzu - that looks amazing! And the picture quality looks sooo much nicer.
Narcissia - Looks great. The smoke looks better than the glowy "I've been shopped!" thing it sort of had earlier.
Sooo, anyone not done yet? Remember, you only have about 13 more hours to get it submitted, give or take a few minutes (am soooo glad I live on Pac Time, don't have to worry about timezones for ANet).
Tired artist needs to sleep now. *zzzz*

Well Finally Finished... Don't LoL at it too much.. I didn't think baking a cake and decorating it would be that hard. 
However I finished, had fun doing it, and that's all that matters!

Quick CnC but I think Zhaitan has a more lazor (if you wish to pursue a more futuristic robotic style - this is a couple hundred years into the future after all) look about him, the moon would definitely be unreasonably happy looking up and to the left though.
Gogo blue, can't wait to see the final product!
That costume looks incredible Tzu! (And done in what I would think was such a short amount of time x_x).
I love the portrait too Blas, I really love the stylized legs! So pretty overall though and great colours. I like the portrait of Livia too, though I'm guessing it's quite one-sided (I think she loves Kryta more :P)
Good luck and congrats to all the entrants, great stuff!
