Congrats to all the talented winners!! And congrats to the non winners cause yall are all so talented that entered so you still won in a way with your talent :)
Thank everyone for participating!! And totally thanks to you czar for your posh sleeves, lept on them immediately!!
Will the ones that didn't make the cut be available in any form? Also how will the winning CWs be distributed?
Well, neither of the two items I kinda liked won. Are there going to be some achievement or anything? Otherwise, I congratulate the winners, but will leave the items be.
there was an open smile-type item (something along the lines of the Cece Coast Orange Lip Balm) that didn't make it. i can't remember the name but if you made that item and release it as a cw, please tell me! it's the only item i really wanted!! ;_; please!!
I'm just going to say, I don't think that most of these eyes are that different from what we already have between the Delish and Subeautique lines. They don't come across as Masquerade in anything but the item art.
One of my votes made it in (:
Kind of bummed that beautiful grey tones lip didn't make it in.
All were amazing entries!

Congrats to all the winners! Most of the stuff I voted for is in there, but a little bummed not to see any of the steampunk arms!
Really happy for the people who were chosen, but goddamn am I bummed some of the others weren't made into real items
That awkward moment when none of the ones you voted for won. :sob: Congrats to the winners though!
Congrats winners! I do kind of wish half of the winning items weren't eyes, because it feels a little ... redundant? I guess? But then you have to bear in mind how many entries were eyes, laughs. They're all beautiful though, can't fault any single one of these for being picked. ♥
Congrats to all the entrants and the winners. So much talent! :)
I hope there are more contests like this.

I really liked the pumps that you could hold. Too bad it didn't win. Congratz to the winners though! These are great
None of the items I voted for won. I wish they had more facial expressions. Nose, lips, eyes are always the same boring thing. Closed or angry eyes with tons of makeup on. Lips are pouty, sexy or angry. Highfalutin same old stuff no matter what the category. Fantasy or not I would like some regular old facial expressions like joy or excitement and some regular fashion.
Aw man, my item is in there! ♥️
I read through some of the comments, and I just want to say this : considering the limited amount of eyes I personally like to wear, and because I wanted something that was super versatile (I originally had a pale blue version and a light pink as well), I decided to go for an eye color that would match more items. Considering it's one of the only chances we have, as cw artists, to submit facial features, I frankly didn't want to offer a piece that felt so constraining as far as layering and color matching goes. I dont know, maybe if we had more contests (or if cw artists were finally allowed to submit facial features), we'd have a greater diversity. I vote more cw contests personally!
Congrats to all the winners, and all the people who submitted art for this contest, all the entries were really nice ♥️

Aw yis, all three of the items I voted for won! Very very pleased and excited to fit these fun new pieces into my wardrobe! <3 Congrats everyone!

If you aren't seeing what I'm seeing, I guess I can't do much about that, so that's fine.
I went more into detail (3 times) on what I was seeing that was rude in my eyes when talking with Cerulean, so if you still want to try and understand my POV on this, you can read through those but otherwise I'd say we just have to agree to disagree.

So many great entries, I hope staff continues to run these CW contests, we get some creative stuff.
I wish more rift/lower ziaran stuff had won. The floating shoes were pretty fun!
Perhaps in the future there can be separate categories for makeup and non-makeup - I'm not sure if the winning ratio reflected the ratio of entries.. but still..

Congrats to all the winners! Everything is beautiful. Personally, I'm just SO glad the telescope won...it is by far my favorite item and it's so rare that the thing I vote for actually ends up winning. X'D (Although I don't really understand how the voting was done; I had assumed the ones picked by staff were selected ahead of time and not present in the voting list but whatever, it worked out I guess haha.)
At least some of the items I voted for (and wanted to vote on yet only could pick 3) made it! :blush:
Congrats to the winners! :clap:
Congrats to the winners! :clap:
Congrats to all, much deserved win, and congrats to all the entrants. Some very fine things for us! Wish we could have em all <3
The only one I picked are the sleeves. I'm glad they made it, but, sad for the others. Congrats, winner!
Want to congratulate ALL the entrants and ALL the winners, in my opinion you are all winners as you all posses the talent to do something I am completely unable to do so well done to you ALL!
I also want to thank everyone who par took in the event as if it wasn't for you we wouldn't have ended up with any items at all, so thank you so much!

Congratulations to all the winners! a tad sad my eyes didn't get in, but all in all these wins were well deserved and gorgeous!♥

Congrats to the winners. I don't care for most of the items myself, but obviously others do. Some of the eyes that were chosen I didn't vote for because they look very similar to ones we already have.
Wonderful job everyone!
And whomever made the golden filigree looking bg/fg item... hit me up I'd love to commission somethings similar!

No, I agree with that, and those comments aren't what I'm referring to. I apologize if that's how I came across at any point.
People are more than welcome to express that they're disappointed that their vote didn't win, or that there were no mouth or nose items included in the winners circle. I myself really liked the cat nose, and a couple of the lip items I know I would have gotten some use out of for sure.
I only take issue with the comments that are insulting, putting down, and discrediting the work of the other winners or entrants.
Feelings being hurt is not an inevitability, it's the result of people not being sensitive enough to the feelings of those around them to not cause that damage. And just because someone enters a public contest does not mean they deserve to be insulted. Opinions will be shared, but they don't need to be attacks.

@Coraychi If you submit something to be sold to the general public you need to be prepared for people to have opinions on it. And the people who won probably are also smart enough to understand that the people who are angry that so many eyes won and no noses or mouths won (especially the cat nose and gender neutral lips that this site BADLY NEEDS) are not specifically angry about their particular item, but about the proportions.
I'm sorry that people's feelings are getting hurt, but it's also one of those things that is kind of inevitable. None of these items was made as a present for any of the people who are feeling salty.
@Truffula is right. The noses and mouths should go up in the shop as an unexpected bonus.
There really IS an extreme dearth of mouth items on this site that are suitable for avatars who are meant to be men, boys, NB people, butch women & girls, and children (in other words, people who don't wear brightly coloured lipsticks, either because that's not their preferred gender presentation and/or their parents would make them wash it off). Of these, a lot of them either show the mouth in a grimace or a smirk rather than a neutral expression, and many of them barely suggest the existence of lips.

Darn, wanted the thick lips to be one of the chosen. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Congrats to thw winners!
Congrats all! I really loved all the items. My only wish is that the eyes came in multiple colors hint hint I mean it would still be one item right?
All the items were amazing and the designers are very talented but I wish we would have gotten more variety on what the judges picked. There were so many eye items chosen and two look very similar.
Who made the wallflower lipstick? :kissing_closed_eyes: I was secretly rooting for it above the rest, although I might have been the only one lmao.
I am loving and in combination. I have them on together. I voted for the sleeves, but the choices were so good it was hard to pick my top three.
I'm happy at least one of my faves are in the wins :D Congratulations to all the artists and their hard work! This was such a COOL contest and I loved every second.
Here's to hoping that maybe some of those that didn't win will be able to become actual CWs... hint hint

I think future contests should have more items chosen.
Also, for what it's worth -
I think people are understandably frustrated by lack of nose and lip representation in a facial items category.
Now if this was purely based on votes cast, I can see how staff could be forced to choose the top 5, but these were staff picks, so it's not really a surprise people were expecting more variety in terms of facial item type.
It also has nothing to do with 3 of the eyes being dark colors or sort of similar (I mean, they aren't when individually compared, they all have a distinct style).
Also, the eye winners shouldn't feel bad about this. It's not their fault what staff chose and certainly all eye items look amazing and they should be proud of their work.
The criticism is chiefly aimed at staff picks, not the art, although it's easy to get confused and I wouldn't be surprised if the eye artists are like uhh let me enjoy my win please? But yeah, I think giving feedback about staff picks is necessary even if it dampens the parade somewhat.

@mei I honestly loved it so much! Part of what I was looking for when I voted was creative but simple stuff that looked professional (and like Cash Shop material). Yours definitely fit the bill! The name and art of the actual item was really creative, and it looked so pretty on the avatar. If I could buy it, I would! Yours and the Embroidered Blindfold were the two I most hoped would win. Glad the Blindfold got through, but yours was on the same level!
@ShadowyIce the shell casing was mine! it was more on the plain side so i honestly didn’t expect anyone to notice it, much less vote for or remember it, so the shout-out makes me happy :)
I'm a bit sad the one I liked the most didn't win, but I'm happy there were so many amazing choices. Congratulations to the winners!
