Contest Customizing Contest: Crystal Faceups

Wow, that's a beautiful theme! Can't imagine how crreative the members will get here …

Do you allow creating a face-up from other artist's fictional characters ?

 

Oh! This one will be difficult! But also a fun challenge ^^

 

@evie the kid it's okay to be inspired by fictional characters but your work should be unique and not a direct copy of someone else's visual concept.

 

Thank you, that's cool.

 

I will have to have a think on whether any of my heads needing faceups would work for this!

 

I am very inspired by something that I think will fit well, I just hope it’s ‘crystal-y’ enough.

 

Let your inspiration roam free!

I'll look forward to see all your marvelous crystalized faceup!

 

I actually have an idea for this but not 100% sure it’d work at all.

 

This sounds really fun! I think I am going to join in this year.

 

Crappy winter weather pending, does "something which adds 3D texture" mean you have to sculpt on your additions, or can they be glued on?

 

@Quiet and Insane you can glue things on or sculpt them, or both, it's up to you. also keep in mind the 3d element can be large or very small. As long as it's there!

 

Now this is a contest I might have to join! Who to use though hmmmmmm...

 

Cool thank you. My idea should work quite well then. If it ever decides to stop raining. Bah, winter.

 

Having thought I had no ideas (or heads!) that this would fit, a burst of inspiration struck while on a bus today! Fingers crossed for good weather tomorrow or over the weekend for me - winter is a pain for face ups!

 

There are just a few days left to enter this contest! We are really looking forward to seeing what everyone has created!

 

I just noticed the deadline is 21. instead of 20., yeeey! This thing is taking longer than I thought x)

 

Ok whoops I thought this went to the end of August. No way in heck am I gonna have anything done for tomorrow night. It's been way too hot and humid here. Can't wait to see everyone's entries, though!

 

It's not too late! I did mine all in one afternoon. It's hot and humid here too, but if the sealant ends up flaking or clouding over time I...kinda...don't care. This faceup turned out nice IMO, but it's not a style I'd ever want to keep. haha

 

@CloakedSchemer Hmm that's true. I work 2nd shift so afternoons aren't usually an option, but tomorrow is my day off... we shall see!

 

The voting thread is now live here!
And you can check out just for fun entries here!

 

Congrats to everyone who was able to finish their entries! I sadly was not, but it's nice seeing what everyone else did.

 

Wow! Nice work!
How do I vote? I can't enter the poll :/

 

Same here, I can't vote either.

 

Only 9 entries? I was hoping to see more, but on the other hand, it means everyone has a 1 in 3 chance of winning something!

Beautiful entries, good job and good luck everyone!

 

OK good glad its not just me that can't vote

 

It looks like this. A list but no option to actually vote

 

I can vote for the log branch, but cannot vote for the crystal faceup entries.

 

Same for me, I can vote for the log/branch but not the face up entries.

 

Same here

The "Which entry is your favourite" text is clickable but only takes me back to the thread which has a poll but no ability to vote.

 

The log branch works for me as well, but not the faceup one =/

 

I saw the "test" poll that popped up and was able to click an option. After submitting the choice, the option I picked got an asterisk next to it.

 

It already had a vote registered for me. I guess it must be the "test" poll that I already voted on and got renamed? I was able to change my vote and resubmit it

 

It gladly now works for me, I just voted. Thank you for repairing the poll

 

Thank you everyone for your patience while we got that sorted out!

 

I'm only seeing the option to vote for one entry, but there are three prizes? Will it just be based on the top three overall?

 

Yes, there will be a first, second and third place based only on quantities of votes and it's one vote per person this time.

 

Thank you for the clarification!

 

Today is the last chance to get your votes in! Winners will be announced tomorrow!

 

Congrats to the faceup contest winners! (The voting results are visible now!)

I didn’t win, but thank you to everyone who did vote for me, I appreciate you. ❤️ Mine was Crystal, the gold leaf lady.

 

Congratulations to the winners! Everyone's entries were amazing!

 

Thank you to everyone who participated this year! The winners are congratulated in the first post. Winners: stand by, I will be contacting you shortly.

 

Wow! I'm floored that I got third place. Thank you for your votes! I've had a rough week and opening up my mail to see the message that I won third really picked me up! Again, thank you!

 

Congrats to the face-up winners and great job to other entries as well. Lots of amazing artists here.

 

I am so happy that I got second place I was so nervous because everyone had such amazing entries!

Congratulations to everyone to won and who participated! You all had fantastic works!!

 

Congrats to the winners! Everyone's entries were really cool!

 

Omg! I won! Yeeeey! Thank you!
Congratulations to the second and third place, and good job to everyone else as well! It was a really fun project to work on, but I didn't think I would ever win a competition here, so yeey!

 

Congrats to the winners and super job to everyone who entered. All of the entries were captivating. Xxxx

 

Yes congratulations to the winners and all the entrants. There might not have been as many entries as in previous years, but every single one was superb. Narrowing it down to vote was really tough.

 

Congrats to the winners, you all did fantastic! I had a great time competing this year and look forward to next year.

 

Congrats to the winners! I only entered for fun, but it was really fun seeing all the creativity!
