What Are You Afraid Of? - Winners

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 5, 2008, 12:18 PM
entries at the bottom of the journal!



EDIT: I actually forgot to put one of the entries I received on Friday up on my journal D: so I'm going to leave em up as features for a while. check them out!

First of all, congratulations to the big winner tonight, Senator Barack Obama! And good on John McCain for such a gracious concession speech.. even after such an ugly campaign I really can't dislike the guy(but the crowd was full of assholes, it was disrespectful to yell insults at Obama while McCain was trying to pledge his support to the guy) Obama's speech was friggin magical. Anyway, here's hoping for better times up ahead.

CONTEST

Oh yeah, in more important news, the honorary panel of FUNERAL judges have made their decisions.

THE ENTRIES


ENTRIES.


Sink Rats by *waltzinghippie

Sinking by ~Eternityhero

Tentacles by ~Asinino

Untitled by *heavyteeth

Sleep Paralysis by ~mrmojoman0


Acute Liver Failure by ~pingpongboogie

Void... by ~ZackDaFallenSeraph

Safe In The Sheets by ~kthxplz

------------------------------------------------------

Elements that were considered a plus were creativity and cohesiveness(that is, showing the subject in some kind of identifiable situation). the concept/mood was more important than artistic ability. with that, here are the winners!

First Place

Safe In The Sheets


Artist: ~kthxplz


~kthxplz came in just under the wire with this clever and very well done digital painting! The mood was well established and the point of the entry was immediately obvious as well as being identifiable(I also thought hiding under the sheets would protect me as a kid). You win Silent Hill Homecoming!



Second Place

Untitled



Artist: *
heavyteeth

It was tough for us to decide between the 2nd and 3rd place entries, but in the end the sheer weirdness of *heavyteeth's entry won out. I was never afraid of a plane crashing through my window before, but I sure as hell am now :^< You win a three month subscription and five buttons!

Click HERE to see my BUTTAN DESIGNS..I'm afraid I don't have an order form or even numbers for em yet, but let me know which ones you'd like.

Third Place

Fear of Shadows


Artist: ~Koura


From ~Koura we have this excellently creepy mixed media piece. While the composition bumped this down a bit, the imagery of the distorted animal figures makes this one just crazy enough to work! You win 5 buttons!

To the other guys, don't take it personal :^] Everybody's entries had their own strengths and I'd give you all gold cadillacs and boats if I could. Thanks for entering and watch this space for another contest sometime.


Adequate work, Paradolia. We will put our newfound information about the outsiders to good use soon. (mwahaha etc)

A joyous occasion! I think this is the first time my art's ever won anything tangible. Cool! And I owe it all to the generous Funeral Corporation. Congrats to the rest of the winners on your wicked-cool prizes, and I hope everyone else who entered will be back for whatever contests our host holds in the future.

I'm just glad Obama won and I know there are alot who hate it... I didn't even want to hear McCain's speech because i knew the people in the crowd were going to be saying things

:icondewclaw:
hahaha, awesome :D

yeah, I was cringing watching McCain's speech..he was trying to be a standup guy in the end and his supporters were making him look like an asshole, he had to keep silencing em. it's too bad for him that this'll probably be his legacy, riling up a bunch of racist xenophobes.

Congrats, winners!!!!

HOLY SHIT I NEVER PUT YOUR ENTRY ON THE JOURNAL I AM SO SORRY

I mean I had it in the judging, but I forgot to put it up :( sorry.
:iconkthxplz:
I'd been wondering about that, I thought maybe she scrapped it and you weren't able to include it or something. Glad it's up there now, 'cause I like it. And everyone else's entries, too! Not a bad one in the lot. <3
