2011 Halloween Workshop!
Verene
WORKSHOP IS OPEN!
The Grand Goal of this Workshop is to allow new artists to jump out of the shadows, to learn to give and receive Contructive Criticism,
to enhance the Community Feeling by making a collaborated effort to get a Guru Member amongst the Winners,
and most of all; have a great deal of FUN in the process.
This thread is not going to be focused on winning the Halloween Contest alone.
The Halloween Contest is our superficial carrot, something people will strive for if the goal of progress and growth isn't enough at first.
The most significant purpose of this thread will be to see people make an effort, and to see them grow by doing so.
The Guru Halloween Contest Prizes will aid this cause.
The Deadline for submissions is October 22th, 2011.
There will be 3 stages to this Workshop:
- We all strive to create a Guild Wars Halloween masterpiece of our own, and help others create theirs. - Final feedback given, those who wish to do so will enter the official contest before the deadline has expired. - We hand out Guru prizes independent of the official results, chat a bit and discuss whether we wish to have a Wintersday Workshop as well.
These prizes will be based on donations from everyone who wants to and are able to aid the cause.
Any donation is accepted, from Red Iris Flowers to Ectoplasm.
A panel of judges will be set up eventually, but some Awards will be based on polls too, to include popular opinion.

The Muse Award is given to a person who didn't necessarily enter the thread as an artist, moreover as a supporter of the thread and the goal.

-105 Hunter's Ales
The Pure Evil Award goes to the artist with the most evil-looking and -feeling piece. Keep in mind that you still need to stick to the rules of the Official Contest and GWG, and that evil/cruel doesn't nescessarily mean "goriest".

The Spirit of Halloween Award will go to the artist that best creates a piece that reflects what Halloween is about. Funny, scary or maybe both! To be eligible for this prize, you must check that you are okay with entering for real-life prizes, as the winner will need to give their address.
More places may be made in every category if more prizes are donated,
Prizes may also raise significantly in value.
More categories may also be made, based on requests. Also, if a particular category does not get enough interest, the prizes may be combined or dispersed to other categories.
To donate, PM me/post here first, then deliver to IGN Soralia Magebane or Lady Verene.

Phew! Tzu replied to my PM about the workshop and said that she would not have time to do so, and I've yet to hear from Minami and Perynne, so I decided to get the ball rolling.
I've already set aside a bunch of stuff for prizes, I just need to decide how I'm going to split up what I've put in for different things.
Please don't start posting entries or anything yet! I want to wait a few days before that. Discussion is fine, though, and if you're interested in judging or donating or helping in any other way, then please do let me know!
Oh, and if this could get stickied, that would be amazing

Yes
That would be excellent ^^ I have a fairly substantial amount of stuff/money set aside for this, but as ever, more goodies is always helpful.

I've never participated in the past workshops but I have time I'll see what I can do.
Gives me a chance to work on my painting since that's the only style I draw that isn't very difficult to go back and revise at later stages.

Hello everyone.
I suspect no one here knows me.
I haven't played GW in years.
I am not currently planning on entering this contest myself...
Heck, I was surprised to see I had an account. So, why am I here?
Out of a bit of nostalgia, I was googling to see if there was any update on the GW Halloween contest for 2011, and this came up. So, well, I'm here to help any way I can, for I'm always up for helping people create Halloween art.
I'm one of those crazy people who take Halloween way too far and turn their house into a haunt. Heck, I even have a few professional haunted house designs (floor plan/storyline) under my belt.
Oh yeah, I was a "winner" of the GW Halloween art contest back in 2009. ("Cole G.", that's me...)
It wasn't exactly my best work, and was rushed together for the deadline, shot with a camera on it's last legs, and improved after entry. It's now sitting in a local professional haunt.
If you're interested in my more recent work, you can toddle over to my website: http://anunorthodoxhalloween.com
But, they could best be summed up as this style:
(both works in progress shot with a simple point and shoot)
If you think I can be of assistance, let me know (I'm subscribed here now) or contact me at SirUlias as my gmail address.
I'm not sure what random loot my account may have, I was never 'rich', but if you're in need of something I'll happily donate what I have.

Thistle Xandra
oh no! i missed the call for judges D: I'll definitely donate something, but I'm not sure what yet! I'll have to go digging through my storage and see what I can give
Thanks, Verene, for taking control of the workshop *hugs* I'm so excited to see what everyone will make this year
EDIT: OK! Checked my storage and I can donate 5 gem sets and 50k as of now (I went on a spending spree the past few days getting Zkeys so until I farm some more, I'm super broke D: I should be able to donate more in a few weeks though )

SO HAPPY TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLES
UnOrthOdOx; your sculptures are great! I remember really enjoying your entry that year, something about those Titan Effigies in pre-searing I suppose
Hopefully you're advice can come in handy for anyone who chooses to sculpt or design a physical piece!

Good luck guys, I look forward to see all the super awesome arts you create!!
EDIT: Oh and agreeing with Morag there :P
EDIT2: I'll be back to help with and enter the GW2 workshops though... Look out

I will see what I can rustle up for the prize pool. Not sure if I will be able to enter this year or not still. (Working full time helping at family restaurant. My father-in-law died last month. And yes, my dad had died earlier in April. This year sucks ___.)
Verene
Oh wow, Kiya, sorry to hear that

Tomorrow I don't have work, so I'm going to work on getting prizes assigned to categories and the like, so hopefully I'll have everything up and open tomorrow night or Saturday

Konig Des Todes
I might as well get the "participation form" going, as just a few moments ago I got an idea for what to do:
Name: Konig Des Todes
Art Form: Literature
Idea: "Primeval Darkness" - it originally was designed to be the second novel in a series of seven, but for this contest (and re-organizations for time constraints), I'll be shortening it into a novelette (or a long short story, you decide). It also acts as the prequel to The Death of Thorn, my entry to last year's workshop (and official contest).
Progress Gallery: Pending
Real Life Prizes: [x]
Official Contest: [x] (for kicks and giggles - who knows, maybe this year they'll accept literature)
Workshop Awards: [x]
I won't start it until others begin theirs, as I also have Fall of Gods, its prequel, to finish up.
Oh, and if I can ever get my laptop to have internet, I'll hop on GW and get stuff to donate for this.

Kiya, I am so sorry to hear your sad news.
Welcome back Penguin, I always admire your pics and am looking forward to see what you come up with this year.
Minamiiiiiiiiiii…we have missed you. Please make an entry – I don’t see why it cannot be GW2 Halloween based – good practice for your future commissions. I agree about the judging for the official contest, a lot of the winners are not what I would have chosen.
UnOrthOdOx…It must be really scary around your way at Halloween, your contributions to the thread are eagerly anticipated.
Thistle …I do hope you have a new story planned.
Konig... Yay first one
Varene, I raided my daughters room and found an unopened GW T-shirt size L, a Caithe card, GW Bag and a few temporary tattoos.
Welcome back Penguin, I always admire your pics and am looking forward to see what you come up with this year.
Minamiiiiiiiiiii…we have missed you. Please make an entry – I don’t see why it cannot be GW2 Halloween based – good practice for your future commissions. I agree about the judging for the official contest, a lot of the winners are not what I would have chosen.
UnOrthOdOx…It must be really scary around your way at Halloween, your contributions to the thread are eagerly anticipated.
Thistle …I do hope you have a new story planned.
Konig... Yay first one

I'm donating some stuff! I'll make a list to remind myself when someone wants to pick it up:
- 350e
- 500k
- 105 Hunter's Ales
- 2 Bottles of Vabbian Wine
- 22 Eggnogs
- 150 Spikes Eggnogs
- 5 Jars of Honey
- 18 Sugary Blue Drinks
- 25 Crates of Fireworks
I'll edit this list when I've been through all my characters to look for more.
Whoever's picking up donations this year, PM me when it suits you!

Whoa, Tzu o.o That is insane and THANK YOU.
I'll be picking up the donations, Lady Verene for my main account and Soralia Magebane for my secondary account. I should be on most of today ^^
Aeronwen, since you're donating the gamescom stuff, is there anything in particular you want to see for that category? Since I'll go ahead and make it a separate category like previously.
Since a couple of people have gone ahead and posted their form despite me saying that we're not open yet...;p I'm just going to go ahead and declare the workshop open! Have fun, guys!
Edit: With the amount of stuff we're going to have for prizes, I want to add some more categories...anyone got any good suggestions?
