Not overall fussed on the winner to be honest. Making a flimsy metal structure, adding some straw and setting it on fire doesn't really 'do it' for me, but I'm not on the panel of judges I guess, so congratulations.
I didn't attempt an entry, but some of the people who entered showed some great talent.

It's quite a bit more than straw in a metal frame

Grats everyone! I'm happy to see so many from the Nolani workshop on the winners list. And I got an honorable mention! I'm well... honored!

I really like the winner. Its very creative and I don't agree that its the case of just throwing together a metal frame and some straw and burning it. It takes skill and time to make a useable frame like that, and to photograph it in such a way that it is noticably a charr effigy. Its awesome and congrats.

EDIT: blah, I thought I was posting in the workshop. XD
Grats Malafide too! Awesome piece of animation!!
Minami
If I remember correctly, he also had to go through obtaining a fire burning permit!
I think he deserved the first place 100%. Amazing entry and long hours of work went into it. It's very worthy to check out the workshop thread to see his progress!

Shady definitely earned that top spot with the effigy. It's definitely a lot more than some wimpy frames and cheap straw. A lot of time and effort went into that - the WIP pics show that.
As far as sculptures go, I'd say this is arguably the best one to have placed in the contests so far. It's easily recognizable as a Charr Effigy - unlike the previous year's entry where a large group of people had to stop and ask "what the hell are we looking at?"
Verene
The Charr effigy is badass. Full stop.

I agree with both the first place winners, I love the charr effigy and female norn costume.

It took me by surprise to read that so thank you so much for the support for us literary folk I'd love to see any other Halloween entries if anyone else is willing to share

That costume is amazing, very well done. Was that done by the same person who won last years competition?

Stunned! So many talented people on here. Grand Prize winners were definitely deserving! What it would be to see the effigy burn, must have been intense.
I hope I wasn't the only one that, when I saw it, thought "Yep, that's a Marshmallow all right."
So cute.
Congrats to everyone, I wish I could see all of the entries.
Oh, how did I miss Raven's? Just jaw-dropping, I love her, too.

It turned out really nice! Makes me kind of wish I had the patience to cross-stitch (tried learning when I was younger, and yeah...).

Mocha would probably love to get on the keyboard and say thanks for the compliment, but she's busy circling my chair like a vulture. Cereal isn't for kittehs! >_<

If you are going to make comments like that, explain it a bit more. Review a few (or all) the winners and say WHY you liked or didn't like them.
