​

The Tempmas season continues, I hope everyone had a good warm-up for their think-muscles because this event is all about creativity! There's no better way to share holiday cheer than sending postcards to your close ones. The best kind of card is one that comes from the heart, that's why we're tasking you with creating a Tempmas card that will really spread the holiday spirit! Just to be clear, you don't have to be the next Van Gogh to participate - we'll be judging the amount of effort and creativity, not necessarily skill. How you create the card is up to you - you can use crayons, you can use Photoshop, you can use anything in-between, including pasta and glue. We'd like to see a card that shows what Tempmas means to you - a card that reflects our community and all of the good times we've had together over the course of the years. Because this event requires handiwork, we're going to give you ample time to prepare - this contest will last for three whole days, until December 22th 10PM GMT. Since the task is harder, the rewards are bigger too ($25, $20 and $15 gift card of choice), for the three best submissions we receive! In order to participate, post your postcard (see what I did there?) in the thread so we can all enjoy the fruits of your hard work - work which will be rewarded with whole 3 points towards the final raffle!

With the event announcement out of the way, it's time to announce the correct answers and the winners of event #2 - the great Dragon Quest for Dragon Injectors!

Here are the correct answers:

1. The final boss of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim was Alduin, the World Eater! Turns out that villainy bit the World Eater right in the tail!
2. The remastered trilogy of Spyro games which reignited the series after a long string of Skylander games is called Spyro Reignited Trilogy - how fitting!
3. Mario crashed Bowser's and Peach's wedding, which capped a very memorable odyssey.
4. This question caused some confusion - we were specifically referring to Final Fantasy games, and as far as those are concerned, Bahamut debuted in the first installment and served the function of upgrading the player's class upon receiving a Rat's Tail. Dragons are quite sagely, I can see how they could teach characters new tricks, for a price.
5. The Queen of the Land and the King of the Skies are named Rathian and Rathalos respectively - those pesky wyverns are as majestic as they are dangerous!

And here's our list of winners:

1. @GameSystem
2. @Diamondback2010
3. @HaloEffect17

Congratulations to all of the winners - you will be contacted by our elves shortly in order to get your shipping details! Once again we want to thank @MatinatorX for sponsoring the event and making the holidays that much more merry! We hope that everyone will continue participating in this Tempmas season, and most importantly, that you'll all keep on Tempin'!

EDIT: In an unexpected turn of events one of the winners, @GameSystem, has decided to generously add his prize back into the prize pool, which means that we now have a 4th prize this time, a Dragon Injector! Woo-hoo!

Fair enough, I need to up my English again

Don't fret, there's still a number of events up ahead!

 

[SonowRaevius]

Well best of luck to everyone in future events, I'm out personally. Happy holidays everyone.

Skyrim spoilers! There were probably 2 members that did not know that!

Well. The most Tempmas thing for me, is the tree. So although not very creative, I snapped a pic of my tree for y'all.

Nice tree and I like the glowing goat we have a straw one
(I don't put up the tree until the 23rd that's my tradition)

My Tempmas submission!

 

[CoolStarDood]

here's my entry! I made a generic holiday one, a blank one, and a tempmas one! (i hope this isn't against some weird rule i somehow didn't know about )

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

oh shit, I just realized that's fucking massive. the preview didn't look like that at all!

I am bad at arts but here's a thing.

 

[Maq47]

Here is my entry. It isn't fancy, but I feel it captures the essence of Tempmas quite well.

Edit: This image is supposed to go inside the card, and text is intended to go on the characters' faces.

 

[SuperrSonic]

I tried to draw all the assets but then I realized I can't draw so I just wrote Merry Christmas and drew a rough Tempy with some lights.

It's quite an improvement over the original draft:

I'm really excited for next Tuesday and this contest got me in the mood for Christmas.

My 2nd attempt at making art

Here is my entry taken with a 3ds camera so the res sucks "yay"

Edit: Bloody hell I drew the left eye of temp as a joypad rather than a dpad

This one seems to be borderline plagiarism.

Indeed it is. Then again, the photo I took last tempmas was ghosted, probably that's why I don't care too much if I get banned from the event.

@Foxi4 Last year's event was Dec. 23 to Jan 1. I feel like only giving 3 days wasn't enough for more people to get involved. There wasn't even a weekend to get standard working people time to participate.

That's funny, this is actually something I was going to post about! The Tempmas Council convened and has decided to extend the deadline for this contest to the 22nd of December 10PM GMT seeing that the task at hand is, admittedly, quite difficult. We'd also like to remind all of the prospective artists that participation in this event nets whole 3 points to your Tempmas tally, greatly increasing your chances of winning the final prize!

Can we do a retake ?

Can we do a retake ?

Hey, sure, why not? The more cards the merrier, but you can only submit one, even if you post multiples.
