For the ones not entering, please give help with critics and suggestions and help this thread stay alive ^^

Some people of Nolani thought that the two contest Anet gave us were not enough. Therefor we were thinking of adding another contest ourselves! The theme of this workshop is... Cantha! The origin of this workshop is combined of the Canthan New Years Event and the Dragon Festival. But ofcourse you're free to interpreted this in any way you want! So work your best on this eastern theme and show us what you got!

If I have time I would like to make something (have 3 home improvement projects I want to get done before the pollen gets too bad to have the house airing out). So depends on the time frame I have to work in and if I can settle on an idea.

I like the idea, and I'm considering to enter - BUT [and this is a big one] I'm a long way away from GW fanart at the moment and unless I get a really good idea, I'll probably pass due to time restrictions. We'll see... I'll definitely donate though, got some purple smitey poop frozen

And at Widowmaker, would be great if you could join! Something in me senses you are great, don't know why though, havent seen anything of you

Euhm if you have any questions on what you are joining, please give me a pm, or just ask here, so others can learn from it aswell

But to give you a short discription, this is a workshop of which the idea is that everyone entering tries to improve him/herself and share progress. It's a community thing here, made more nolani friends last time I joined ^^ The idea is everyone works out an artwork before the deadline (will post that one soon, will probably be around 20 June) and then we see how well everyone did, hand out some prices for the best ones and are happy with eachother ^^

I'm going to be sticking with what I know, so it's either plushies or costumes. Rather tempted to make Danika's costume but need to price it out and see if it's in the budget. (Wednesday is "visit the accountant and see if we owe or are getting a tax refund again" day.)

Sorry people I was a little busy lately, exams coming up.

The deadline will be set at the 15th of June. This could change in the past, though it's not likely to, but if it changes it will be delayed so it wouldnt be a problem. This in far away, but no reason to delay and dont get started right away (Yay that rhiimes!)

I will start dividing prices and add up more along more donations will be made (which will happen *wink wink at the people who read this*

And with the deadline so far off and spring approaching, I reckon I can pull myself together and do something nice
