Aesthor - Heavens Tear

Why not just add a link to the winners on the first post so we don't have to sort through pages of posts to find it?

I agree that DokuroPanda or Lingzi should have won first place. Next time let your players vote on finalists or something.

Congratulations to all the winners~ b:cute

After seeing some of the comments in here... Good to see I'm not the only one who felt the first place should've gone to lingzi or dokuro.

I think those entries were a bit more expressive of the theme and either deserved first place.

Current first place winner isn't that bad but uh... I can't say I'm looking forward to seeing it in game.

I'd say I wish there would be an official poll on the picked wallpapers so that we the players can decide what WE want in our game, but it would probably be a bit too far-fetched. b:sweat

There's too many ways for people to get fake votes, etc. The current poll, unless they change it for the contests, allows you vote on it on every alt you have, regardless if that account already voted. Then you got alt accounts that you can do too. All you need is to make 1 level one char and bam. While it sounds like a lot of work, it's not really when you think of the 70 gold first place just got.

Not to mention the players with the more interconnected and best guilds will win, not necessarily based on talent. It's not that hard to see a vote for so and so in xxx contest win guildmates getting someone illegitimate votes. And while they can prevent multi-accounts, they cannot prevent that from happening. There is a reason the oscars are more highly regarded than the people's choice awards. Those just tend to go to whichever got the most teeny boppers to go omfg! rather than which movie was actually better. Look at all the people saying that the theme wasn't as important as what is they were going to look at in the other thread. The prize was a loading screen, the theme was the contest rules. The contest rules should have more weight in the determination of the winner.

Uh- Its febuary- Everyone but the rednecks, and trailer park dwellers have taken down their christmas decor at least a month ago- ijs

Naturala - Archosaur

Just wish the pictures were more game-listic.

The winning one will annoy me if i see it when its loading.. it's far too cartoony and too different from the current ones. Can we have a option to turn off selected loading screens??

Kudos to all the entrants though for time and effort

Susylu - Heavens Tear

There were one or two entries that didn't get mentioned at all that I thought were better than all the the winners, not because the winners' entries were poorly done but none of them were in a style that I really like. b:surrender

MyuMyu - Harshlands

woot, gratz for the winner. what-a-barb. rawr. b:pleased

Styx_Phoenix - Sanctuary

I'm depressed.

I spent 3 freakin days on drawing my entry, then some screenshots even gets some prize and I get nothing for the work... I'm sure everyone spent lots of effort drawing whatever they did, but... ugh.
My entry
Makes me feel like I should've just taken a screenshot instead of putting in the effort, lols.

New contest, design the next PWI Loading Screen!


Update (12-8-2011):


Grand Prize has been updated to give the winner the option of either a Tidal Serpent OR 7,000 ZEN.



Update: (12-27-2011 at noon PST)

Also, please know that images must be approved by someone at PWE before actually appearing on the website. This is why your image doesn't immediately appear after you submit it. Please consider the approval to appear on the site as the first stage of the judging process.

I'm going through a bunch right now, so be on the lookout for your submission.

Thanks


Update 1-17-2012

Hey guys, after looking into it further, it turns out that our system auto re-sizes images that are uploaded to the fan content tool if they exceed a certain filesize (800k).


We're working now to change the way the tool works.


As for the contest, the winners were actually going to be announced today, but we'll have to postpone the results by one week so that we can go through the judging process again.


There is no need to re-submit your entries; what we'll do is allow any of the current entries that at least have the same proportions as 1280x1024. So for example, if your entry's dimensions were 1058x846, it will be accepted because it's proportionally the same as 1280x1024.


So I'm sorry about the delay in announcing the winners, but at least they will have been chosen from the correct pool of entries.

Sylredrae - Sanctuary

Looks like I have one less reason to keep playing... the winning entry would be nice if it was just as a wallpaper or a piece of art, but I'll get really annoyed if that is to be a loading screne because it's so different from the current loading screens. It ruins any immersion I have in the game at all. That's not a good thing.

My code isn't working. I keep getting an error message.

edit: And now it's acting weird and sent me like 4 giant bunnies but not a single demon/sage event card. I'm gonna submit a ticket. Anybody else have this problem?

edit again: I didn't even put in the code this time, and it just sent me another bunny. But still no sage/demon event card. I don't understand what's going on. Please stop sending me bunnies.....I don't want to get banned for being a bunny hacking hoarder or something. Just give me my sage/demon card and I'll be on my way......

I have the same issue. Got an error and tried again, so now I got 2 bunnies but no event card.

Thanks for being so quick!

edit: am I free to npc the remaining bunnies or whatever? Or does a Gm have to take care of that. I kinda want to hatch mine now. But haven't touched it since I submitted a ticket.
