This competition....I like :O Different from what you usually see, but definitely interesting. Too bad I have no artistic talent whatsoever. TONIGHT THERE WILL BE PAINT......or Photoshop.
Go figure I am MIA and find this contest a week before the deadline. I may be on vacation, but I'll do my best to get something done!
<REDACTED>, should have mentioned this on #WildStarSettlers! /bonehead Zap, you coulda nudged me about it! =P
I have been otherwise engaged with Family Christmas Time (tm) - normal WSC service shall resume shortly!
Two days to go! Get drawing, cutting and pasting those Christmas decorations - that Granok isn't going to decorate itself!
So is this midnight on Friday night, or midnight of Thursday night? I get confused with 12AM due times...
It iiiiiis. That makes me happy though. Means I can polish up a little more tonight after seeing a movie and then submit. Wish I had most of tomorrow too, but I'll be traveling back home so no time to do so.
Me and the rest of the team are now judging the entries - announcement should be this Friday! Our thanks to the entrants
Winners Announcement Ladies and gentlemen (and Skeech) - Aurin of all ages, lend me your ears, Despite the busyness of the Festive Season, among the family and friends that we gather around us at this time of year, two entrants braved the artistic arena to vie for the coveted WSC Custom Title! (oh yeah, and some Carbine/WildStar swag!). Alas, while this means that the Third Prize will languish in the storage closet for a while yet, these two worthy competitors will receive their just rewards. But, I hear you cry, who are they, what did they do and who won?! Well, I'll keep you in suspense no longer... First Prize Winner: sziszii8 Medium: Diorama It was the medium used that won the judges here at WSC over - the creativity of cutting out our image and arranging it in a 3D manner. Well played, sziszii8! (Download here) Second Prize Winner: alienfirst Medium: Digital Art Here, we were wowed by the sheer talent of the artist - adding in a whole second character to the image by hand. Excellente alienfirst! (Download here) Congratulations to our winners - your custom title is already active and your prize delivery will be arranged as quickly as we are able!
