ARG! Judging is so hard and tedious! And it tears at my very soul every time I have to choose between two people, I feel sorry for the ones that try their best, but just don't match others, then there are those that just seem neck in neck! TEV! HOW DO YOU DO IT!? ;_; (I'm sorry for those that I didn't vote for, I had my own little judging template to follow so I wouldn't vote for everyone...) Good job to everyone that participated though! Tev, you truly are incredible...
Oh and what are the rules for voting for yourself lol :3

YAY! That's my time! I will definitely go to the ceremony!

Now, all I need is an alarm...

Oh sorry Tev for having you to repeat that, I was too busy voting to look back on the posts, so I didn't see the part about no self voting, so yeah, sorry you had to say that for the third time XD

What happened to my Oppa Gremlin Style animation? I saw the other animation in the "Other" category (or a still image of it, at least).

Artist's Choice

Poetry: Long - A, B, C (Liked the haiku!)

Okay, I'm gonna lower down my votes maximum of ONLY ONE VOTE. Yes, be lucky if ye get picked by me. :)

I'll include my comments, appraises and criticism if I can. :)

Okay, so... here goes.

The entry of artworks for Knights that I wish to vote is... Entry: J

Community's Comments for this entry selected:

This artwork is nicely rendered, close enough to the game itself. The only difference that this artist has modified the Emberbreak Helm to a real, knitting-ball-liked human hair. The valkyrie mail(?) looks as if the mail is made of pure silver/platinium, good-quality fabric of the underskirt of the valkyrie mail, well-detailed. The Acheron is drawn quite identical to the game, also well-rendered. It is indeed a good art, placed best for the others.

The entry of artworks for Gremlins that I wish to vote is... Entry: A

The voter's comments for this entry selected:

This little young gremlin is very jolly! Despite the mundane but cute leggings, the face of the gremlin is enough to make a person happy. Spreading the happiness to the world of Cradle is a yes!

The entry of artworks for Everything that I wish to vote is... Entry: E

The voter's comments for this entry selected:

A dark-bluish night for a brave soul to roam into Gloaming Wildwoods for a mini Snarbolax, a knight with heart of gold, cares for this little guy. It shows that this knight loves and take cares of little animals. But what for has been done all the years on the future if the grownup Snarbolax has gone wild? Nobody knows! We only have the right to know that we appreciate this art. :)

The entry of artworks for SpiralSpy contributions that I wish to vote is... Entry: C

The voter's comments for this entry selected:

The colours are well matched to the background, or so, almost everything are. The big solarish Sun pairs up with these 2 couples nicely, and so does the terrain of the grounds. The knight in Rose Regalia clothings perfectly matches with the background. The knight with Valkyrie clothings however has a good matching of white but pink underskirts, which does a little fit, just okay, to the background. Don't forget the halo back of her head! It's a divine-yellow coloured that suits the current weather right now. ^q^

The entry of artworks for Others that I wish to vote is.. Entry: A

The voter's comments for this entry selected:

'Tis nice and maybe comfortable to hug, but not to sit on! This Royal Jelly King plushie/souvenir is cute, and seems to be made into cushion(?), knitted well. The crown is quite fine, not-so identical to the game but not bad. For collectors, they surely want a piece of this, including lots of monster plushies from Spiral Knights! :D

-----------------

I don't know what to do with fictional stories, but I can at least help out for artworks! Hope the entries that I voted will succeed!

When you said "Liked the haiku!" Why did you put that next to your long poetry votes? I don't see any haiku's in long poetry....

Art: Knights - B, C and K (K is my favorite but the other 2 have some very nice atmosphere to them, good job all 3!)

Art: Gremlins - A, E and F (I really love F's theme and coloring!)

Art: Everything - B, C and G (nice fight scene on B, C and G got a very good laugh out of me, specially C; that needs to be a monster in-game!)

Art: SpiralSpy - D, F and I (I love the hallow bomber armor on D)

Art: Other - B, D and E (Ah darn, i wished all the entries on this category got to win a bigger price, they are all very unique and i like them all, with D and E being my favorite)

Fiction: Mini - A and C (They both made me chuckle a little :V)

Fiction: Short - E, F and L (Not much to say about these, they are entertaining and had good spacing :B)

Poetry: Long - F and G (Both a nice and different, with G the one that resonated with me the most :P)

Poetry: Short - D (Oh it was so true)

I liked quite a lot of the entries here, lots of different styles and mediums, which is always nice in my opinion.

As a personal note, contest wise my favorites where Arkalpha's Gremlin entry (I really, really loved the coloring and mood), Twelvepm's entries (The coloring, mood and inking are great!) Engravement's entry (I love the Valkyrie set and the coloring is just fantastic on it), Klear's entry (it's just so joyful and happy i cant help but love it!), Lemonadium's Gremlin entry (neat take on the gremlins and I like the colored lines a lot!) and seriously, all the entries on handcrafted and animations.

Neither can I.

Am I supposed to send the answers to my riddles, too?

And these last five hours seem more like the last hours of Majora's Mask to me.

Just one more week until the awards ceremony! :D
I can't believe what a journey this thing has really been!
Once again, good job to Tev!

Huh. No, I didn't know that! What a pleasant surprise! :D

Post 1311

LOL!

Glad to see I wasn't too late. ...er.. I hope?
Anyways, I'd not have voted for myself anyway, as that is dishonourable and the only entry I felt an inkling of pride for was my poem.
/me goodie-goodie
I think I'll be off now. ._.

Is the prize list final, now, Tev? I see on the calendar, but don't see any announcement post.

No need for sorry, I just didn't want to miss it! :]

I hope to be there, Tev!
Unless we develop new plans between now and then I should be free!

I may or may not be there. /mysterious

Okay, updated my prize preferences in my first entry! Also, I sure plan (and hope) on coming to the awards ceremony! /cannotwait!!!!!
