I want to know what youre cutting out, and how amazing the cut-out community is We haven't even seen the winners yet and people are already complaining. The winners from the previous contests were great. Sure the frog scepter was a bit too cheesy for my liking, but it fits into the game just fine and there are plenty of people who liked it. Would love to hear what "joke options" you're talking about... It was already said that artists will be free to post their concepts after the contest ends. Whether they'll want to do that is up to them and I wouldn't expect Anet to post all 900+ entries on their forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Last time they showcased a few items that weren't parsed and i thought they were great, and then the selection wad a bunch of literal joke weapons.. you know quaggan shields.. and the like.. stuff that doesn't fit in the game unless you're deliberately trying to look like a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangelus.8671 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 * According to the rules: > The twenty finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges composed of ArenaNet staff members based on: **Creativity,** **Style**, **Originality**. Guess they're doing this now; they need to cut it down from 900 (wow!) to 20. > The winners will be on www.guildwars2.com on or around November 13, 2017. So they will open up voting any day now, hopefully! If they don't give at least a week for voting, I doubt most people will see it before it's over. A lot of people completely missed the competition, and it was announced in August. Getting the word out there for one week or less of voting might be difficult.

SugarCayne.3098 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Agreed, it should be at least a month of voting. Gives people a chance to get word out and actually take a look. Then that brings us up to right before Christmas, which is a nice gift to give the community. Perhaps the November 13 date is when the voting begins. Just a grammatical mistake in the announcement: (winners being the 20 finalists). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that they have to select 20 from over 900, I wouldn't blame them for just putting things on hold for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightX.6294 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 My staff didnt made it... and compared to the staffs in the voting i find mine still alot better than the most of the top 20... . Well one month of hard work gone for nothing. and not even a consolation prize for all the participants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that you cannot specifically ask for votes for yourself or identify which one is yours, given the above quotes saying the finalists may not publicly share their work until the contest is over though those who are not finalists are now free to do so. However, you could probably link to the voting page and urge people to pick one without in any way indicating which is yours or lobbying for your entry at all (I suggest not even telling them you are one of the 20, to be safe, though you may have already taken that risk with this post).

AegisRunestone.8672 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Sad I didn't make it. :( But then again, it was my first colored, digital drawing, the chances of it making the 20 finalists were low. There was a dagger on there I liked. So, for those of us who didn't make it, can we post our creations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hydrating Nuke.3206 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The pistol looks like a Nerf gun. Specifically this one https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-N-Strike-Maverick-Discontinued-manufacturer/dp/B0002UP0IA Not to say that there's anything wrong with that, I'm just saying.

LooLoo.1437 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If you got into the top 20, can you post it (as in the painting) on social media and the forums? Or is that still eligible for disqualification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I don't know if you were told, but [this weapon design is a dagger according to the artist]( ), not a sword. I think it might hurt his/her votes.
