I am floored by how good the winning entries are from the "Draw your character" contest. I had no idea the community had such great talent. Congrats to all the winners!

Frankie, get these people to replace that weird winter loading screen!

    Yes, please.
    I'd rather have those beautiful drawings as my loading screen than the weird winter loading screen.

    Nice but once again they put a pretty lame restriction on the mount prize. It should be any mount obtainable in-game. So nothing that hasn't been released...But the black unicorn from the attendance would be a nice prize, for example. Something that everyone and their mother doesn't have, those drawings are amazing and I think the winners deserve it. :D

    Good. The amount of people attempting to ruin that person's prize and give it to someone else because they don't like the style of that drawing (because there is nothing wrong with it, it's just not realistic style) is pretty sad to me. Art is subjective. Feel free to dislike it. But to go so far as to attempt to get the management to take away someone's hard-earned prize because you don't like it....But that's the risk you take when entering a public contest. ::shrug::

    It's not the fact that it's not a realistic style. It is very possible to make beautiful and charming cartoony styles(the plagiarized comic strip contest winner proves this), but even cartoon/animated/stylized works have to go by some rules. A cartoony style can only cover up a lack of talent and knowledge of basic "art" concepts to a certain extent, as mean as that may sound.
    As much as I hate to say it, the Winter loading screen winner is just objectively ugly. I have not met anyone who said it looks nice because they actually thought it looked nice, and not because everyone else was saying it looked bad and they wanted to be the nice person. There are just so many things in that loading screen that invoke a genuine displeasure from the deep, primitive part of our animal instinct that judges if something is a mortal threat or not. Every time it pops up, my cat hisses. If you held it up in front of a baby, it would probably cry.

    I wonder what are the premises given to the winner whose drawing gets featured in the loading screen for almost a year.
    Was the prize saying that the drawing will be used as a loading screen for the entire year?

    It's not about the fact it's ugly or not. People are just tired to see it cause it's represent winter/Christmas while we are not anymore in that period since a long time.

    Don't you think, that some of these pictures are more or less natural ?

    You can look through window, walk at streets of your own town and see sometimes fine faces of real people.

    If you want to see just beautiful faces - look at TV set.


    Good, that I see loading screen very rare, so any change in it not bother me.

    Those are the winners. That's the list. The other entries can be viewed here http://pwi.perfectworld.com/fancontent under contests. As for the facebook page, you can only view that if you have a facebook so that's the only way to see all of the finalists.
