@Marsh keep going! YOU STILL HAVE 43.5 HOURS LEFT! (does that scare you as much as it does me? :S). And you should totally break out the brushes! It would be nice to see some more traditional art around
And nice stealth fix on the polar bear. he looks much happier now!

@Aero Thank you ^^

@Muzai The text is a little hard to read. Does it say 'Everlasting herostopper"? *the H should be capitalized aswell o:* But overall its looking much better. I like the addition of grenth in the background, very eerie!

@Dalili That looks great! When you know you're finished, copy/paste (you can get it by quoting her) the 'completion' sign-banner-mark-thingy with your post for everyone to see in the thread :3 And I'm glad you enjoyed the workshop, they're always loads of fun!

@obstable: That's a really cool offer thanks . I planned to simple remove the fold and show the whole button, but a reference would surely be useful

@Dalili Ojo: The endresult is very cool ! Awesome idea!

Deadline is coming, oh no...

11/30/2011 - Quick changes:

Workshop deadline will now be at 12:00PM PST on the day of the last Wintersday Finale event (approximately Jan 1, however this will be finalized when Wintersday is officially announced). I'm little bit confused^^

As Wintersday officially ends on the second wikilink, i would say it stays 2nd at noon.
Edit: i just realised that the post talks about the "day of the last Wintersday Finale event". As the last event start 12:01 am on the 2nd, i hope the deadline is still at noon on the 2nd...

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Hopefully thistle will pop on by and answer the questions. I'm going under the assumption of Jan 2nd @ Noon PST (or whichever is the last wintersday finale) myself.

It's alright, it sounds like a few of us are in the same boat. Ideally I'd like to be done tonight, but I have like... 60% of my canvas still needing paint Dx

Trying to photograph it was a huge pain in the rear. The 'in the dark' pictures just did not want to happen. That and depending on the angle the blue and green LED lights would disappear from the shot like the strand had been turned off. Now for a nap before work.

(And I added both final pics to my progress gallery)

Kiya, that is so festive! :3 makes me want Christmas back D:
so, it was 43 hours to deadline a couple of hours ago, that makes it now... nevermind, I'm too tipsy to do maths, but in any case it's not very much *runs off in barely concealed panic*

I LIKE DIS PAINTING.


So i'm actually kind of excited for this. Usually I don't get excited over my work as I always see these big flaws too late (there are definetly flaws here as well, btw). But this one I just seem to care about the flaws. I'm just havin a blast with it :3 Good way to end the year I'd say, for such a s****y year. (keepin it PG!)

Any suggestions for the ice? It looks very strange.

Oh dear, I didn't think there'd still be confusion on this, because I've said the workshop ends on Mon, Jan 2, 2012, noon PST in so many posts now XD

To clarify, Rahtschini, you're quoting the tentative deadline, before I knew what the last Wintersday Finale event was (that announcement is dated Nov 30, 2011 and that's an official Guru notice I can't change). Sura is quoting the actual firm deadline, which was announced on Dec 15, 2011, when I knew the last Finale event.

Sooo, for all those panicking, don't panic! Deadline is Mon, Jan 2, 2012, noon PST That will also be when judging officially starts and when I will accept judging sheets

Also…. Happy New Year, everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Day!


EDIT: Also, big thank you to Iceblue for a donation to the prizes, including adding to current unallocated stacks, 10 salvage kits, 25 royal gifts, and 1 oppressor weapon of the winner's choice <3

Happy New Year everyone!

@Kiya: Thanks!
@Olrun: Most of the stuffs shown in the picture are made with Sculpey. The tonic bottles are clear cast resin with Sculpey caps and cores for the liquids. The molds for the resin was also made with Sculpey. The eggnog jugs consist mainly of silver and red/orange parts with grooves, with thin strands of yellow Sculpey squeezed into the aforementioned grooves. The candy canes also used thin strands of the clays twisted around together. The tip here is to make the strands longer than you would need: it ensures same candy cane sizes and the extra parts can be cut up to make candy cane shards
@Aeonwen: Super sugar-glazed fruitcake it is then ! Probably not good for health, but at the same time tasty.


Now, the progress for past two days:



I finished making the parts for the Jingle Bear Cub, and I just need to put them together, put bow, eyes, and nose on, and maybe paw pads if I can afford some time. A little on the furrier side, but who doesn't love the furries ?


p.s. pleh pleh, coughing up furballs >_<

Ugh! My little sister randomly found my Guild Wars logo lying around and thought it was cool so she just grabbed it. It took me forever to find out she had it. Whatever, I guess I'll finish it today.

Well I couldn't locate the longer coat (the woes of having a coat fettish - I have so many that I tend to forget where they are), but this one buttons and falls in a similar fashion so hopefully it's still useful. Ignore my messy, it's just a figment of your imagination.

The pics are crappy as the only full length mirror in the house also happens to be located in a room with really bad lighting near said mirror.

This the coat from the front - you don't get to see my face as I just woke up and my hair is sticking up/out all over the place.





Coat from the side, buttoned at the top only, 1 leg straight & 1 bent.





Coat from the side, unbuttoned at the top, both legs slightly bent.

No problem Everyone, please feel free to post questions or ask for clarifications in this thread in case someone else is wondering, too Plus, we've got some great helpers around here who can help answer those questions or point you to one of my previous posts addressing the question (like, Sura and DBAA on the deadline question - thanks, you two!).

Forgot to add something important for voting for "The People's Award:" You may not nominate yourself. Since you get 10 points for sending in the ballot, you are already kinda voting for yourself XD

Also, just a friendly reminder that the deadline for entries into the workshop is tomorrow, Jan 2, 2012, noon PST; however, that's also when judging for "The People's Award" starts, so don't forget to vote Everyone gets to be a judge so join in the fun ^__^

@Dalili Ojo - I actually used an old medieval depiction of angel wings as reference for what I did

So who else is working on this up to the last minute?



Darn GW1 Wintersday collection quests make me want to do grinding, but must draw instead.

Back to work. (At least catching up on podcasts lol)

Edit - Inking done. Now to coloring. Food first.

Finishing up... the colours got screwed up! Switched from Corel Painter X to 12, and
it seems that the colours in Painter 12 are presented somewhat messed up! :/



I don't know if I'll have the time to work it out... so this will probably be final...

@Everyone

WOW! Everyone did such an amazing job on their entrys, and I enjoyed watching you all create your masterpieces , so exciting seeing different types fo art. I was at first nervious about entering my entry in an open view for everyone to see and give (CC), but I sucked it up and entered because I didnt want my entry to go to waste. I liked the blind judgeing of the offical conest where if u dont win noone else but the judges seen your entry it was more comfortable, But I`m happy I did enter my project in this forum with many many nice and very talented artist definailty wasnt what I thought it was going to be. I`m no artist compared to many of you hehe. Last word is you all did wonderful jobs and thank you all for sharing your entrys with me.

*applauds* everyone! GREAAAAT JOB! and goodluck to everyone.
