A couple of comments on her piece:

[Vampy should be awarded first place] for the well-drawn dynamic poses of a Mario-batman vs. a Bowser-joker. While Bowser's outfit was not as recognizable as Mario's at first glance, the effort and care put into the drawing is obvious. She really did a wonderful job!

Vampy. Hers is complete WIN.

In addition, 2 honorable mentions were awarded, and they go to Aninyosaloh and Kopple! Congratulations to you as well!

On Nina's work, this was said:

Although, as WWW said, some might not know Death Note..this is really well drawn. I love the little Kirby.

I love the way he made the characters into actual Halloween monsters.

I only made the awards, they made the real decisions. You deserved it, btw.

by **ZimZ** November 7th 2009, 6:53 pm

That trophy looks really cool... Do you mind telling us how you made it?? I wanna know

by **Rapsheba555** November 7th 2009, 7:48 pm

The general shape was based off of a trophy I found online, I used the lasso tool to make the shape. I filled it with a solid gray color, then handpainted the shadows and highlights. Then I added a bit of monochromatic noise and used the gradient tool (set to rainbow and circular shape on 2% opacity) to make the slight platinum sheen. The star is just a modified version of the photoshop cookie-cutter star, the paintbrush I made from scratch like the trophy, and the base I had left over from when I made the other awards.
