It's an artifact, so just like the recon modules or whispering stones, they just chill in your inventory so you can look at them.
Tev's Great Big Contest is over, but she'd love your feedback! Snubear! I finally finished your picture!

@Tevokkia
Congratulations on earning the Purple Spiral ^^
Personally, I think it should be a Yellow Spiral ^^ Yellow is such a wonderful color ^^ Or maybe a Green Spiral? Red Spiral? Blue Spiral?
Multi-Colored-Rainbow Spiral? :3
@Latisan-Sklay
Quick question Latisan, how do you know? :3
@Fallen-Hope
Hmmmm, according to (I forgot which GM) on the Arsenal Podcast thread (that Latisan-Sklay made). The developers are THINKING about making the Purple Spiral a costume/accessory or something..................

The artifact is called "Purple Spiral" most probably because the GMs also use the purple colour as their personal colour. This indicates that the one who is granted with this award is appreciated by the GMs themselves. And why do they pick purple as their personal colour? I have no idea xD

@Papaya: Thanks so much! (But I don't much like yellow!)
@Snow: 'Cause in most of the Western world, purple is considered the color of royalty, which translates to leadership. Or at least that's what I'd guess. XD

I'm pretty sure it's named after the Purple Heart, guys :P
A hearty congratulations to you, Tev, you deserve it!

"The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the President to those who have been wounded or killed while serving on or after April 5, 1917 with the U.S. military."
...
Tev DIED!?!?

@Snubear
Ah, that does make sense... But we can be sure that the Purple Spiral has nothing to do with military excallence xP
@Psychodestroyer
It could be inspired by the name, not the meaning behind it... :P

Well, it was stressful, but not so painful I'd consider myself wounded. My wallet, maybe. And thank you, Snubear!

@Psychodestroyer
Funnily enough, I thought purple was always directly related to chaos and madness (I guess red could work too) The Impostocube is kinda purple (or you could say, an extra extra extra light pink) so maybe that's why they chose the color(^.^)
@Snubear
Eek, purple hearts >.> People in this world choose weird names..............

There's a link to Ark's finished picture in the OP. Started Snubear's already, and Vifig is up after that. Waiting on a reference pic from Try, and for Inco and Lemonadium to tell me what they want me to draw.

GBC 2.0, now with new categories, no long drawn out novellas, and weekly video updates! :O
Will be fun... anyone care to help me write the lyrics to a theme song for the contest? Some 20 second ditty?
Otherwise, nice work with Ark's picture. Lazy snow is still lazy. xP

Has anyone heard from Raspberry or The-Ark? The prizes I sent them via in-game mail came back to me. It's a bit worrying, especially knowing that Raspberry was really sick in the hospital during the latter parts of the contest.

The-Ark is someone's alt, but their other name has slipped my mind...

Okay, I found out the proper name is Gingermace, but realize that it could be either Gingermace or Fallenhope that didn't get their award, as they both picked the same prize for the same award in the same category and my note had just said "Congratulations on winning a Community Choice award in the SpiralSpy category."
Stupid in-game mail. Guess I'll send notes to both of them and see who responds that they got theirs.

Ummm ... I got as far as finalizing the sketches and starting some details when I realized you didn't specify whether you wanted lines or a painting. XD Let me know!
![Snubear's picture Snubear's picture](https://forums.spiralknights.com/sites/default/files/avatar_selection/sk_fan6.png)
Oh, sorry! Didn't know I had an option xP Hmm, I can't really visualise either at the moment, but I think a painting's softness would be more suitable? I'll go with that. At the end of the day though, I'm going for cute, so if you think another style effects that better, I defer to your artistic excellence :P saw some of the process on your stream, by the way, it looks great so far!

I'm so sorry this took so long!
That knocks out all of the really big pieces, except for Lemonadium, who I haven't heard from in ages. Next is Vi, followed by Inco. Whether Inco #2 or Trydeth goes after that will depend on who gets me their idea/ref first.

Great job, Tev! I'm sure Snubear will love it.

1) That is absolutely incredible. I hadn't even imagined it to be that good. I've always loved your art, but wow. Yttriu is right, words cannot express my love.
2) Going by your livestream you spent like twelve years on that painting. Can I just thank you for the humongous effort you put into this. I should be paying you overtime or something :P
3) Sorry for holding everyone else up! Don't worry, I'm sure you're in for a real treat~
oh and I was wondering if you had it in a higher resolution. Perfectly fine if you don't, just wanted to know for the sake of beautifying my desktop ^^

So..... Can anyone kindly tell me is Tev's Competition going to go again and if so when???

Anyway ... yes, there will be a Tev's Great Big Contest Ver. 2.0. I plan on kicking off the thread in May to give everyone a chance to mull over the theme and ask questions, then starting the actual contest in June. It should be wrapping up at the end of August, giving me September for judging, running award ceremony events, getting everyone their prizes, and trying to get art prizes done in a more timely manner than this year (the December end time killed me, as I hand-make all of my Christmas presents. XD)
