Halloween Workshop '10 [Planning Stage]

Good work Tzu! Definatly will participate :3 And to get your list answered:

1. 2 months before the deadline or something? Don't think it really matters. And the deadline could be about the same day/week as the official deadline.

2. Overall best, most scary/evil, best halloween spirit capture.

3. Commission from you D:< And one from Chaliepai <3 (only if I win though, otherwise I'll die of jealousness)

4. I would keep it on GWG with a note on the GuildWars website. I don't think everyone is as comfortable with dA as they are with gwg, at least I don't know every feature and all on dA yet. Besides, I think the still guildwarsplaying community is here, people on dA are most oftenly at a level of prefering real life rewards. Besides that I thought the progression thing we had last year for wintersday (everyone an account on some website to upload images) was a bit of a failure. Just posting your progress in here would suffice imo.

5. They are certainly hard to compare. Though.. last year we had like 2 writings, 1 screenshot cap and 1 costume (wintersday that is) so I think the animo for it is too small for special catagories.. So I don't really have a solution for that one And you probaly figured what I just mentioned already

6. No, I think the smiley face reward is more then enough (funnily enough I won it last time ). The reward that people get is the art that gets created by people, that they enjoy, at least I assume so, as they participate in the thread. So they get a reward already. Giving a prize would have people get the wrong intentions. I think the critique should come from a warm heart, not from a greedy one. However perhabs its nice to enlarge to amount of places for the artists (4-7 win something small aswell) as a reward for time spend on it.

7. I can't think of anyway to get it more "into" the game, except for some screencap event or something. The party was fun. Though there doesnt seem to be alot of animo at this specific moment for the Canthan Workshop, however, the Halloween Workshop should be a whole different case.

8. I really couldnt care less. As long as if they use it, they ask me first. Please no disclamer: If you enter this workshop you agree with your art being used in XX, or that sort of stuff.

9. I do digital stuff, guess thats well presented Maybe some more 3d real life stuff would be fun, aka sculptures and sort. Don't really care though.

10. I think that should be the choice of the person that enters, and him alone. I think it would be fun, but since we know little about gw2 you can't ask it from the artists. So if you have an idea, that would be nice, if you don't, you don't and its still nice. It should be left free imo.

11. Sure thing.

1) 2 months before deadline sounds good to me.

2) Most Delicious Looking Consumable!

3) Money, ecto, consumables, rarer minipets, commissions sounds neat. I would be willing to donate my extra Asura warrior print that I have.

4) I think it should be a GWG thing with notification in the community activities report.

5) Unless there are over 50 entries I don't think separate categories would be a good thing. If there are only a couple per category it seems more like an automatic win.

6) No, we want more people creating and not just watching.

7) I think last years little party was fine.

8) I have no objections to any of that.

9) I wouldn't want to try pushing more people into trying certain categories. I think everyone should go with the ones they feel most comfortable in. Though maybe a side contest of Most Delicious Looking GW Consumable.

10) People can do what they want so I wouldn't exclude GW2 but I think GW1 will still be most peoples focus. Though we are getting more videos and such that isn't the game we are all involved in yet.

11) Yep. Not sure what I could do that is better than a life size asura and golem though. Wait, Ive got an idea!

That was fast Tzu, wouldn't have thougth you had unpacked yet...

I will be lurking as usual so please keep it on gwg.

Tzu I am posting here because of BLUE AND BECAUSE IVE MISSED YOU HIIIIIII

<3

Here is my real honest attempt at contributing to this THREAD LULZ:

1.) When would you like the workshop to open? Keep in mind that the deadline for submitting your entry to the official art contest tends to be around the 20th of October.

OPEN STARTING NOW

2.) Which winner categories would you like to see? Do you have any favourites, or any new ideas to add? Do you think we have too many or too few categories?

NO OPINION. WE HAD ONE FOR MOST EPIC RIGHT? KEEP THAT ONE

3.) What kind of prizes would you prefer? Money, ectos, weps, consumables, commissions, etc.? Would you accept real-life rewards, such as an artbook or the Ghosts Of Ascalon book? I would be the one to handle the shipping.

COMMISSIONS!!! BUT HONESTLY ARTISTS ARE LIKE FKING CATS JUST DO ECTOS. REAL LIFE SOUNDS COOL BUT SRSLY WHO WANTS TO SPEND IRL MONEY.

4.) Do you think the workshop should be partially or completely based outside of Nolani, such as in a blog, deviantart or an imageboard? keep in mind that this would invite guild wars players and artists from every web-based community site, not just GWG.

IT WOULD BE COOL IF IT WERE OUTSIDE GWG BUT IT MIGHT GET OUT OF HAND

5.) Do you think we should have separate art categories for different prizes, so that costumes, paintings, props, 3D, writing, photo-manipulations (the list goes on) are judged independently?

oh god no

6.) Do you think we should reward "watchers" more than we already have (the "smileyface" award), so that even though you're not contributing as an artist, you should be rewarded for good critique and helpful comments?

no they're WATCHERS I can make nonsensical happy comments all day long I just don't do it because then I'd need to burn my frontal lobe out

7.) Would you like the workshop to be more interweaved with in-game Guild Wars than it has been? We only had a small party last time, should we do more than that?

Hmm. I think keeping attendance to only those interested is adequate.

8.) Would you want to be featured in a larger scale (podcasts, blogs, Guildmag) so that your art and/or progress becomes more public?

I think the artists definitely would.

9.) Is there a category of art you are partial to, which you think is not represented properly in the guild wars art community? Would you want us to push this further into the light with the workshop?

Nude interpretive dancing. Women only pls.

10.) Do you want this workshop to be more related to GW2? Or not at all?

GW2 is on every idiots mind. I say let GW2 be include, BUT IT HAS TO BE STUFF THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN not some dork's fairytale imagination of what GW2 might have.. please god not that. It's going to turn into furries.

11.) Finally (for now ); WILL YOU BE PARTICIPATING IN THE HALLOWEEN WORKSHOP 2010?

4.) Do you think the workshop should be partially or completely based outside of Nolani, such as in a blog, deviantart or an imageboard? keep in mind that this would invite guild wars players and artists from every web-based community site, not just GWG.

5.) Do you think we should have separate art categories for different prizes, so that costumes, paintings, props, 3D, writing, photo-manipulations (the list goes on) are judged independently?

6.) Do you think we should reward "watchers" more than we already have (the "smileyface" award), so that even though you're not contributing as an artist, you should be rewarded for good critique and helpful comments?

7.) Would you like the workshop to be more interweaved with in-game Guild Wars than it has been? We only had a small party last time, should we do more than that?

8.) Would you want to be featured in a larger scale (podcasts, blogs, Guildmag) so that your art and/or progress becomes more public?

10.) Do you want this workshop to be more related to GW2? Or not at all?

11.) Finally (for now ); WILL YOU BE PARTICIPATING IN THE HALLOWEEN WORKSHOP 2010?

YES WITH MY MIND

Oh jeez. It's going to be a busy two months.

o.o...

Hijack complete, I think. Jee, even though I would prefer threads like this as clean as possible your violent incoherence really warms my heart (I'm all gooey inside now (turning into king slime etc, if you three dont know what Im talking about you're not really asian (wooo went there (teehee Paranthesis Paradise)))) D8
Anyway, to close that tangent off as much as possible, I'm not on msn because I'm still traveling - and I dont like smartphones, they give me the Big Brother Hibejeebies (mmm spelling and paranoid angst) Ill be back 26th/27th.

thanks for answering all the question sheets so far, its very helpful (perhaps with exception of the notorious art triad, but Ill take those in account as well). I thought the real life stuff would be more popular, I'd be paying for the shipping to wherever but remember I have quite a lot of gw stash myself which I really dont need (after gamescom I had 5 signed artbooks, but I managed to give 2 away, I also have 2 postcards signed by D.Dociu, a gw2/aion bag and two clapper fans - although I think the bag and fan arent exactly in perfect condition anymore >.>') so yeah.
Also, yep, I am still sort of rich. I have my consumable titles now, so Im currently looking into ways of getting rid of money I cant use. XD I may seem to have spent less than I can on the workshop last year, but theres also the wintersday (and this years' duo) one to take in account as well as other contests Im likely to do. :3

Threadtitlechange pl0x: Epic Res from the Dead Thread.

Welcome back zombies D: We want to see awesomart by YSJ! And you, I guess, would still owe me money for the canthan workshop, 100k that was, but I scrapped you off the list, smelling some absences
