AvatarArt Contest Winners: From Scary to Softie

scarysoftie Hope you all had a fantastic Halloween!

With the holiday being on a Saturday and the extra hour from the time change, Halloween this year was set up perfectly for maximum awesomeness.

Indeed, it would appear that everyone had such a great time that no one had any scary stories to share!  (Or maybe it took a few days to recover from the festivities).

Whatever the reason, the awesome people at AvatarArt have graciously agreed to give a free copy of Adventure Art to every person who shared their costume with us (that didn’t have a copy already), in addition to our randomly chosen Twitterer!

The six winners are:

  1. Oz
  2. Angille
  3. Dice_Girl
  4. Graham
  5. Aaron
  6. Twitter Winner:  @alterus

Congrats!  If you’re a winner, please shoot E an email (using the same email address you comment with so we know it’s you!).

It was a blast checking out the costumes that were submitted, and I’m glad I didn’t have to choose.

How do you feel about our kinder, gentler approach?  Should we have been mean and stuck to our guns, refusing to award the story prizes since there weren’t enough entries for a competition?  Or is it totally cool that the folks at AvatarArt helped everyone be a winner?  If you didn’t enter, what held you back?

Feel free to let us know!

    YAY!!! I am super excited. I didn’t really expect to win with my Star Trek costume (not super orginal this year).
    Even more excited about seeing the art work after all the wonderful things people have been saying about their copy. ^_^

    We definitely pushed ourselves on this issue, not only upgrading some old illustrations but also creating brand new stuff that is found nowhere else. Plus its 2x what we’re normally able to put together. Just FYI.

    I’ve now sent out download codes to 5 of the 6 people who won. Please check your SPAM folder if a message from us isn’t in your inbox. If it still isn’t there or you otherwise have problems getting your digital copy, talk to me & we’ll straighten it out.

    It’d be great if you could confirm receiving your PDF of Issue #3 via a post here + a quick comment about what you honestly think of it.

    Thanks to everyone who entered as well as the staff of Geek’s Dream Girl for making it happen. The best way to show your appreciation for promotions like this (so there might be more in the future) is to patronize GDG, making sure you mention how this Halloween contest (or possibility of future AvatarArt contests) was what helped finalize your purchase.

    @AvatarArt -

    No can do. The file refuses to download fully. It stops around 70-80 Mb.

    Graham, I’ll have our Web Wizards look into it & get back to you. Meanwhile, here’s a creative costume which could have done well:

    Maybe requires a new category eh?
