Last month
ArenaNet began their annual
Guild Wars Wintersday art contest, offering some coveted prizes in the form of signed copies of
The Art of Guild Wars 2, signed art prints from PAX, and everlasting reindeer tonics. As always, participants brought some outstanding talent and creativity to the table, and all the winning entries -- including the adorable Yakkington doll -- showed a fun variety of ideas and themes ranging from
funny and random to
practical to
downright beautiful.
The
Guild Wars community pitched in to encourage one another in the form of the
Wintersday Workshop, a fan-sponsored forum event and contest designed to encourage new artists and old alike. Workshop participants were very happy to see quite a few of their number gaining recognition in the contest.
All of the winning entries can be viewed
at the official site, and we at Massively join
ArenaNet in offering our congratulations to them all.
