Christmas contest 2010

Due to a *hmmm* restructuring measure in the RED section I'm not sure whether there will be a Christmas event this year. So I decided spontaneously to launch a Xmas contest on my own for our community. The challenge is quite simple because next weekend we already have Xmas:

aChristmas Art contest​

I hit upon that idea when I saw Didi's wonderful pic. Poeple should create a wonderful or funny Christmas or New Years artwork or a cartoon.The prizes I donate from my private Witcher collection. (see "Your Witcher shrine" thread somewhere in the TW1 general discussion or general community forum). It's probably a t-shirt and/or the original presskit of The Witcher 1 of 2007. It's a glossy folder with info and a nice bag.I'm going to start the contest this weekend.... *hmm* which is already today or tomorrow ;-DSo now I'm looking for jury members. Needless to say that jury members can't participate in the contest ;-)

 

[secondchildren]

I can be a judge if you need. But unfortunatly I cannot take part with one of my own stuff. Sorry, overcongestioned by job again.

 

[didi510]

I'll volunteer. I can also donate one of the little red books (The Lesser Evil story) and a couple of stickers from my collection, I don't have extras so that's all I am willing to part with

 

[szypek26]

I guess Petra + Secondchildren + Didi makes a good jury.Personally I'm not able to draw even a straight line, so I'll be just spectating

 

[petra_silie]

C'mon I have trust in you that you will succeed with Paint But when you consider yourself as such clumsy you are the perfect candidate for jury. We should restrict Didi's and secondchildren's talents by wasting away in the jury. You and me are perfect as jury and I think I will ask Corylea, so then we are three (it even rhymes.What a pity we don't have Xmas emoticons

What a pity we don't have Xmas emoticons

Yea. I should write in my letter to Santa: "Dear Santa,will you convince REDs to make a bunch of emoticons for the forum?" *sigh*

"Dear Santa,will you convince REDs to make a bunch of emoticons for the forum?" *sigh*

Santa heard you. Well, in some way Quoting from Tom Gop: "Forum will be improved. I'll take care of language swapping almost personally, cause it annoys me".

You and me are perfect as jury and I think I will ask Corylea, so then we are three (it even rhymes.

May both God and Lord of Darkness help these poor guys, whose work I shall judge x_x

C'mon I have trust in you that you will succeed with Paint

I haven't been able to find many that work well on a dark background, so here are some Christmas smileys to use (just copy the image link location):

@szypekYour artwork is very atmospheric and soul-stirring.

again thumbs up ;-)

 

[szypek26]

Haha http://cdn3.knowyourmeme.com/i/3419/original/yo-dawg-at-first-i-was-like.jpgPetra, is this contest suposed to be revealed only for international forum or the polish one as well?

 

[didi510]

Well that's just bizarre, when I posted the smileys appeared as they intend to be, cute and small. Bleh!

 

[petra_silie]

Sure, the Polish community can join it.I made a change for the rules. I think it's fair if the jury members don't know WHO made the artwork and make their decision neutrally and unbiased. Hence I'm not in the jury anymore.Ifyara, you are welcomed in the jury team. Corylea has agreed as well. With szypek (unless you really don't want) we have 3 international members:Ifyara (Germany)Corylea (USA)Szypek (Poland) if you renounce I think a Polish moderator takes your place for Poland.secondchildren and Didi are relieved of jury-duty so they can join the contest.Any suggestions for other international jury members? They have to visit the forums frequently and quite often.

Nor... and... neither, I got it seperately on a special occasion (which I don't remember) from CDPR.And thank you for the Polish topic.

 

[petra_silie]

I don't want to reveal this in public:

So, getting a lot of contests works, Petra?

Not a tiny piece of drawing

emitcons look disgusting *rant*

 

[secondchildren]

Don't worry Petra. It works like that: you always wait until being closer to the deadline. I'm sure most of the people is still working\thinking on their own art. They'll send em on the very last minute of the contest Hey, it's Xmas today! Merry Witchmas to everyone!

 

[szypek26]

Ouch That's strange. There were few people who said "I've just sent my work". Hm...
