@Arrow: Haha I came up with the roll part when I was almost done, kinda like "I should have a song for credits... But what?" Not very elaborate, but I did have to resing the song 3 times.
@Thistle: Haha well, I'm glad you like it. I had plenty more comments, but they wouldn't fit :/
@Aeronwen: The loudest one would be me ;P
@Tommy: I really like the mountains! very realistic looking! good job!

@Marsh: My headset wasn't mailed until the 29th so I would bet your mouse was shipped around then. Should be clearing customs soon.

Count me out of the list. I ran out of inspiration pretty early and won't be able to finish the artwork now. The stress about it is eating me alive already.

Maybe it was a bit too much with two internet references in one movie? Nobody seems to have noticed the easter egg in the credits :/
` Marshmallow
Oh xD Okay. Because I got an e-mail on like.. Nov 16th saying that it was sent out that week >W>"

@ magic, Wow, those details on the crown and top are amazing! And I thought you couldn't make her even more gorgeous @_@
@tommy, lol, love, love the candy cane ladder and the shadowing you did with it. So realistic!
@marsh, nooooooooooooooooooooo, don't you dare tease us with your wips of adorableness and then leave us hanging! I hope you finish the pic <3 (and grats on the job)
@Gemini, there was an easter egg?? aww
I fail at catching those T_T

InfestedHydralisk: Yaay! 
I thought I was pretty clever on where I put it, even though it was a spur of the moment. I almost forgot about it myself when noone commented on it :P
Thistle: It's in the credits.

Maybe it's just me and my inbred Swedish community that over use it all the time. There's references to it in almost all error messages XD
Perynne
@GeminiJuSa: Ah! I did notice it too, but didn't comment on it because by the time I was writing the comment I'd already forgotten... My inbred Finnish community of friends here uses it all the time too. XD Along with over 9000! other memes.
@Al'Zarigus: Aw... :/ Well, I hope you'll be able to enter another workshop sometime later. Happy holidays!
@Marsh: Congrats on getting a job.
Your drawing is coming along nicely too, I love the detail on Gwen's wedding dress. So pretteh! I hope you'll be able to at least draw a little more of the pic, since it'd be a shame to leave it unfinished.
@MoragD: Ooooooh, can't wait to see what your idea is! Yeah, I was trying to be a bit different too, but it's so difficult with some subjects. Good luck.
@Magik: That's looking gorgeous, I love the amount of detail on Dwayna's clothing. I agree with Tommy's about moving the wing a little, and perhaps add a touch of shadow to the bottom of the polar bear so that it looks more 3D. Right now, it just looks as if it's sorta floating or just pasted on because her hands are not casting any shadows on it.
Looking really great though!
@Shewmake: I'm not an expert on music, but to me that sounded nice. It seemed to fit together pretty seamlessly, and it was lovely to listen to.

@Magik ~ It just keeps getting better
@ Shewmake ~ I have listened to it a few times now – while I am playing, I like it very much and do not think it needs any changes.
@Tommy ~ Oh the ladder is sweet, won’t it need to be longer if they are going to get the head up there and put the carrot etc on? Or would a longer ladder spoil the balance? I am so looking forward to see how the other chars turn out, the elves are great.
@ Morag ~ *waits impatiently*
[QUOTE=` Marshmallow;5330659]garghgargh so I got a job..and I start monday <__> and its full time. XD" but its only for a month.. i probablyyyy wont...finish this piccc XD -lazyyyy-

Hmmm well maybe you can finish in your own time for your own satisfaction, and then just maybe show it to us anyway? Only if you are relaxed about it though.

The finished items I have to work with. Golem may not make the final cut, its just so huge and isn't GW1. Going to dig out the wrapping paper, ribbon, boxes, and tags and see if I can figure out a decent way to display most of this.
@ Tommy. Maybe if the rocks were darker like charcoal it would be more recognizable as being for the snowman eyes.
Shewmake
@Kiya: Heh, everything about mine is GW2. Hope that doesn't make too much of a difference. :/ I wouldn't be too worried about having the golem in it, though, because I remember one of the winners for the Halloween contest having entered a piece with the Shatterer. Everything looks great!
Well, I've finished mine...here it is!

Tommy its lookin neat so far, My only suggestion would be to fix the legs on the monk. She looks like she just got off a horse.. stance is a little too wide.
Shew that was awesome! Gave me goosebumps and everything <3

*drools at Koreena's pillow*
It all looks really amazing Especially the golem and books <3
Maybe you could mix it all up o.O Have gwen wearing the bracelets/necklaces, golem lying on pillow, holding the booze...idk o.O well i'm sure you'll figure out something epic
@Tommy: I agree with Koreena, a darker charcoal black would make it better. You could even go all out and make them look like jet black gems instead of stones =o
@Gemini: Forgot to say, you have the most beautiful voice ever! I love your accent, hehehe awesome video, was actually quite helpful *people gasp*
@Oh_Frustration: You could make the whole thing about spirits o.O Title it, Spirits of Wintersday Cheer Have your red-nosed rit with the reindeer antler headgear from the wintersday a few years back Then a load of spirits (usual blue? red?) with santa hats and candy canes Or maybe have them throwing snowballs...idk It looks awesome in my head, haha
@Al'Zarigus: Haha that is SO the type of thing i would do :P
@Shew: Aw , my sound on this comp doesn't work, i'll listen to it as soon as i go on my brother's laptop I bet it's awesome

Worked on mine a little, just put together some details on the ele:

Decided that I'm not gonna stress about this too much, just gonna paint in the style that comes most naturally right now.
So yeah, it'll probably be a mismash of airbrush and harder brushes.

@ shewmake ~ I just listened through 4 times, it is perfect.
@ Pery ~ I love the concept there - I hope you get it how you want it.

@Perynne, I definitly think you should win for originality. You don't see someone bringing christmas to Africa very often.

Thanks for the feedback!
@Perynne: I love the premise for your artwork, and it's looking great so far! Looking forward to seeing it further developed!

@Shewmake: That was lovely. I wished my musical arrangements and piano performance sounded as professional as yours ;_;.
Tommy's
@Frost: Ouch lol Been sitting on a horse too long xD I hope it will be a bit more clear in the next WIP, but she is standing on a cornice (correct word?) with one leg, the other is positioned lower, so her left leg is bender. But since norn pants are like Aladin's pants, the curve disappears a bit. Hope my lightning on the next wip (probably tomorrow) will show it better.
And at the colour of the stone, yeah now you say it, it definatly needs to be darker. With this colour it looks more like someone put sand for eyes on the snowman and then pissed on it So darker indeed. Not sure if I want them polished or rough. Polished Onyx sounds nice, thank you all for that :3. also definatly need to fix the hand of the elf, they were a bit rushed.
@Perynne, looking wonderful as always Just her hand (the one you painted already) bothers me a bit, looks like the most visible finger is a pink, though I think it should be a thumb?
@ Shewmake, sounds good, you had me in the first 10 seconds ^^

Thanks for the comments! Yeah, I was trying for originality with my idea. Last year before Wintersday I started thinking that Kamadan is always so prettily decorated for Wintersday even though they wouldn't get snow there at all. So I figured out it probably has something to do with eles working like snow machines... and if they do it there, why not somewhere else? :P
@Tommy's: Yeah, the hand still needs some major fixing. I gave up on it yesterday, figured that I'll work on it later when I can see what needs to be done better.

I'm terribly sorry that I just don't have the time right now to go through and read what everyone has been saying, I will have to do that later, but I wanted to update that I have submitted my entry to ArenaNet for the official contest, and this is the version that I sent: http://nemesis-of-the-gods.deviantart.com/#/d34jzqn 
I am finished with it, I literally can't take trying to tweak it anymore haha.
@Shewmake: THAT SONG IS BEAUTIFUL!
@Koreena: I still adore those skill bar key-chains and bracelets a lot, they're so awesome!
Gotta go for now. Everyone's stuff is lookin' good though!

Hi Everyone,
Some of you know why I couldn't tell here what has been going on.
Today we officially released the news, you can read my statement here: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bla...sitemID=150748
As for the workshop, I've completed my project around the beginning of November (before all the above happened), so I'll post the progress pictures (and the finished pics) anyways.
Amazing works so far everyone, I do enjoy looking at your pictures and progresses, keep it up!
I still don't know when I'll be "totally" back, obviously. I wish you all good luck in advance!
