Congrats you guys! Especially #16 -- you were a personal fave.
Thanks Jeanty for the kind words and considering that my piece (19) was from an actual comic, ha!
I'd love to give another go at this in another art contest - as some people have been hinting at. I'd love to get a go at a Buffy Musical Broadway poster themed contest. Ooh, or a Buffy vs. Ed Cullen contest. Or an Andrew Wells contest. That would be the 'severely under-appreciated Buffyverse character' contest

Hey, I'm open to hosting more contests... BUT, the prizes won't be this good. We lucked out this time, getting the full support from both Jeanty and the Dark Horse peeps. A huge shout out and thank you to the folks who made it happen: Jeanty and Lucas Beechinor of the Dark Horse Marketing team.

Ah, Jeanty is such a doll. Not the "Did I fall asleep? kind, but you know what I mean. What a sweetheart. Congrats again guys. And I'd like to echo the above post-- more art contests! The Buffy musical one sounds like it would be lots of fun. (Don't know why I'm full of bad Dollhouse puns today. Sorry!)

Big congrats to everyone. It was awesome of Jeanty to take the time to comment about the contest and the entries.
I wish I had the time to submit an entry, work sucks, but I'd be open to another contest...assuming we are lucky enough to get another talented judge.

Congrats you guys! Especially #16 -- you were a personal fave. Thanks! I drew #16. I appreciate you and the others who voted for my piece. Also, thanks to Jeanty for the comments and for taking the time to do this. On my entry I used brush pens and pigma micron pens for the line work and I used graphite for the gray tones. Once it was drawn I scanned it in and used a Photoshop brush for the spatter effects. Thanks again!

I mailed out the prizes today. As I said before, the Grand Prize is coming straight from Georges, and he'll send me the tracking number once he does. 2nd and 3rd Prizes, your packages should arrive around Monday. I have e-mailed tracking numbers to both of you. 1st Prize, I couldn't afford an international tracking number, but I was told that it should arrive in about 5-10 business days. Thank you all. I'll get the rest of your prizes squared away when I've some time on my hands. July has been a frightfully busy month for me.

Been away from the site for a while, but I have to say that I'm blown away by the quality of the entries. As someone who struggles with stick-figures, I'm a little green with envy, but mostly I'm left in deep admiration for the efforts and talents that so many of you were able to put into this contest. *round of applause*

Hey Congratulations to the winners!! How great is that? Well deserved, Bravo! Thanks to Xi for putting this all together! Especially with your Doctoral exams. How do you do it? Also thanks from me personally for answering my questions and emails. You guys here are top notch! Georges is amazing! to give up his time and art for us? What a guy! I have to thank him for his truly wonderful and complimentary words he said about my entry. It was #21. How cool is that? I found out about this contest from his website the night before the deadline. I am so happy that he thought enough of it to comment on it. Truly cannot believe it. HUGE thanks to Georges!!! Dark Horse really impressed me with their support of this. Thanks to them too! Thanks for the votes, Drusillacakes and my other other one. Not sure who to thank but I do. Druisillacakes, thanks for the really sweet comment. I'm glad it made you smile. Vampslayer, thanks for the "brilliant" compliment. It was heart lifting. I hadn't put pencil to paper like this in years. Illustrators amaze me, I'm a painter and didn't have enough time to do something in my comfort zone. This contest made me get off my duff and draw again. The community here is so great and supportive of one another. That's a rare find. I hope I can continue to be apart of it. My watcher Moon Eyes, has been so nice and helpful. I've really been made to feel welcome. Thanks again Moon Eyes! So in conclusion, this is longer than an Academy Awards speech, sorry, absolutely awesome job to everyone involved. The skill sets present in the works is incredible. And I REALLY need to get photoshop!! P.S. still would love to know who did entries #10, #17 and #2.

Just popping in to say "You're welcome". I'm glad you guys enjoyed the contest. I'm still struggling to catch up with life (I'm off to a conference tomorrow, will be there until Wednesday, after which I fly to LA, wait a 13 hour layover, before embarking on a 20+ hour journey back to see my family, which I've not seen in over two and a half years). I'll get the karma points squared away ASAP, but that may be until late next week, if that's okay with you all. I'm trying to get the badges made, but since I suck at that kinda thing, I'm waiting on someone else to make them for me.

Okay... so head count: Who's gotten their prizes? I've heard from one so far, but not a peep from anyone else. If you could let me know, that would be great. Thanks.

Huge congratulations to the winners, and to everyone who entered for having such a superb talent. I enjoyed seeing every single entry and can't wait to see more of everyone's work again. Who knows, maybe even I will dust off my notepad and pencils one day and have a go

Cool. So everyone got their prizes then? I've heard from three now, but I'm gonna assume that they all arrived okay. And I'm so sorry about not getting the badges and karma points squared away yet. It will happen on Monday at the latest. Currently out of town (well, I'm already abroad, but currently in my dad's hometown), so work is a tad bit off-putting at the mo.
