Wintersday Art Contest winners announced!

http://www.guildwars.com/events/cont...intersday2009/

Once again there are quite a few Guru members that won, and some very, very awesome artwork

Loves marry sanfords coss play!

Congrats to the winners!

I like Gwen feeding a puppy to the Charr! That was pretty funny...

The Jingle Bear hat is probably one of the most awesomely cute things I've ever seen. It makes me want to run out, buy some white yarn, and knit one of my own.

Of the Guru members who entered the Wintersday workshop in Nolani, Tzu, KiyaKoreena, Penguin Oo, zidane88, Evangelin, Dutch Sunshine, and tmakinen all placed (I don't think I've missed anyone, but it's possible). More than a third of the winners are Guru members, that's pretty awesome, I think

Congrats to the winners!

I don't think that was quite what was going on there

Winner was outstanding, clearly the best.

Most of them are very good but every contest there are 1 or 2 of them that just make you wonder... "How did that win?"

I gotta say I disagree with some of those honorable mentions and winners

Aww i had very similar ideas but never got aroudn to doing them. Theres wouldve came out better anyway haha. Hats off to the hat, nice someone included some art based upon the gw2 trailer.
welldone all and that costume is amzing.
Im particularly fond of the snowman with the drink, so random

Nice to see so many entries from the workshop winning

Congratulations to everyone.

Yay! I'm happy.

If people could keep it civil, I would like to know which specific ones you liked best and which you didn't like.

Gratz to the winners, especially Tzu and Kiya! ^_^

I didn't win, so I'm kinda sad, but here's my pic for you guys:

I don't think spamming photoshop filters over screenshots and preexisting images is a combination worthy of winning.

I didn't really understand the snowman drinking out of a cup..? I see its rendered but... yeah I don't understand how that has to do much with wintersday.

I guess if I ever want to win in an ANET art contest I'll make sure I put in two hot girls touching each other in some way with random holiday characters on the sides.

Those are the only three that bothered me..

I still love yours, Minami, it's so cute

And if anyone hasn't peeked in, yet, definitely go and check out the Workshop thread in Nolani.

This, sort of.

Some of these were well-done, but I don't concider them to be very Art-like or Wintersday-themed either.

darn, was hoping for atleast honorable mention but w/e maybe next year .)

my entry:

Let's not start the "what is art" argument that ruined the Halloween contest thread, please?

There are a couple I didn't care for, either.

*gasp* You mean a costume didn't take first place?!

This.

Please.
