Just in case it isn't clear, this is a coloring of three of the AB fae's I got this fest. The little one is decorated to impress. He hopes to help pull the sleigh this year and decided to take the lead. The older female also gets in on the fun an puts some red on her nose. She's teasing the other male for not getting in on the fun. Looks more suggestive than I thought it did >->;

Camera work is a bit wonky, sorry :(









Kinda boring, but I'm proud of myself

At long last I'm done! Please excuse the gap in dates(ended up way more busy than I expected). It was a fun project. I really wish that I could have gone with my full original idea, but you know how real life happens.

Thanks so very very much for hosting this Niv and Katt! Hope you both enjoy my offering.

Here's the picks:

Pic #1(air dry clay bucket was just a prop)


Pic #2


Pic #3(Final pic; The deer are to represent Faeloras. Neph was drawn in tracing paper to make her look like a Winter spirit barring a gift of an experance orb for the Faes. I was inspired by the female neph pose[easy enough for me to work with on my short time from how often I studied it]...Though the wings could have been better I think).


^.^ Thanks again!

Hey Niv, just curious how thing are going.

I got my submission in yesterday and in time. ^.^ It was super fun.

Yep, we've collected all submissions and the three of us have been going over them individually and been sharing our thoughts. It's been a little tricky since we're in three different time zones, and it wasn't helped by the fact I slept a long time and missed catching them both online.

I do see how that would make things challenging. Hopefully everyone will be available later on tonight or early tomorrow morning. ^.^

All the submissions are lovely, and I can tell everyone gave it their best(cause I'm sure we all had IRL stuff that needed doing aside from our projects). I wanted to be a bit more elaborate, but time constraints caused me to alter my plans, but the essence/soul of the project remained. That's the important thing. I wish my camera was better quality though.

Anyhow thanks for hosting the contest! I look forward to others in the future.

Results incoming ^-^

First, I'd like to thank our guest judge, AliceHearts, for sticking with us through the difficult process of picking the winning projects. It was tough, and we all didn't initially agree upon everything. It took a lot of deliberation to arrive to this point and is why it took longer than initially estimated.

Second, but no less important, I'd like to thank everyone who participated. You helped make our first Art Contest a success and we literally couldn't have had that without you. As a show of our appreciation, and your efforts, we'd like to offer a prize for all those who didn't place. Each of you will be allowed up to 2k worth of scales to spend in the scale shop. Please ping Katt and Niverus here, in this thread, when you've made your choices.

A note on prizes: Everyone is welcome to do whatever you wish with them once you've received them. (Keep, sell, giveaway, whatever. They are yours.) All prizes need to be claimed by the end of Winter Festival.



First Place: 1000 Diamonds| Max Stat Team (Tier 1) | Av Items (Choice of 3 from list) | Choice of Winter Majestic OR Fabled Catalyst | Exceptional Icy Water x1
Imorphemi


From what we could tell, every snowflake was unique. The sheer scale of details in this work was nothing short of amazing. You clearly put a lot of effort into this piece, and it shows.


Second Place: 500 Diamonds | Max Stat Team (Tier 2) | Av Item (Choice of 2 from list) | Choice of Winter Fabled Catalyst | Greater Icy Water x1
Ponder


This was a very attention grabbing project, and while none of us were sure how long such a project would take, the attention to detail certainly made us suspect it was awhile. Fantastic job.


Third Place: 250 Diamonds | Max Stat Team (Tier 3) | Av Item (Choice of 2 from list) | Choice of Winter Fabled Catalyst | Lesser Water x10
Dragoil


Dragoil, I don't think you ever fail to impress. Someone said that your work looks like it could be a Christmas card and they're not wrong.


The three of you will be contacted concerning your selections for your prizes and we will post your team and avi selections here once they've been chosen and sent. (Since I failed to get tiers done and posted for av items and such. This year has been more disorganized than one would like, and I'm very sorry about that. My fault entirely.) Please send us your frost essence choice and put up the diamond exchange asap and we will be sure to get those out. Ice has already been sent out, but the rest of it may take a little time as it will involve a little more need to communicate between you and us. Please bear with us.
