It's been a tough and grueling process but we've finally sorted through all of the entries and I tallied all the votes and we have picked the winners for the first ever Bungie.net avatar contest.We recevied a lot of great entries and it was super tough to narrow them down to just the top 7 images. In fact, there were so many cool ones that I've decided to create an "honorable mention" category to recognize the avatars that rock and still have a place on Bungie.net yet didn't win one of the main prizes. This way, we can all benefit from being able to use all of these cool avatars and the people who created them can still get some props.Big thanks to everyone who took the time to whip something up! Over the next few days I will be contacting the winners and runner-up people via Bnet messenger to get your mailing information for your prizes.Now, without further ado... I present the winning avatars! (honorable mention and the "best of the worst" will be posted in follow-up posts immediately following this one). Overall Winners7th place - "trigunT7R" : 6th place - "aluminumfoilman" : 5th palce - "shadowtiger" : 4th place - "ElBastard" : 3rd place - "gholsbane" : 2nd place - "bujin" : 1st place - "aWoZ" : -----------------Best Handrawn Avatar - "nabiul" : ----------------"Worst" Avatar - "groobermyster" : CONGRATULATIONS to our top winners!! The runner-up avatars will be posted below in a second....
As I mentioned above, we had so many great entries that it would be a shame not to make more of these avatars available for our members to use. So, the "honorable mention" category was created! Though they didn't make the top 7 picks, these avatars are all great and will be made available for public use on our forums. As a reward, each of these artists will receive a consolation prize. Here they are: by Anton P Nym by "ApoX" by "atsumi" by "bloodchief" by "blue_rap7or" by "BOLL" by "c0ld vengeance" by "dolbex" by "Kevhead55" by unknown? by "sirzyn" by "starwarsfanman" by "stuntmutt" by "The Rip Saw" by "Warbow"
As you know in addition to having prizes for the best avatars, stosh also created a prize for the WORST avatar. The idea was to give EVERYONE a chance to win something, even if your art skillz are worse than Frankie's Halo 2 skillz... (oohh burn.. sorry Frankie, too good to pass up)Some of the entries we received were down right hideous while others were hilarious. Here's a collection of some of the "best of the worst". (these will NOT be added to the gallery for everyone to use, sorry!) (if any of you weren't intentionally trying to go for the "worst" avatar prize, I sincerely apologize for misinterpreting your wonderful works of art) by chickenmouth by "Halomaster" by "LogosFerret" by "KBerg" by unknown by "jackdarcy" by "shifty" by "darkflame" by "t3e" by "noodlemcfoodle" by "rufio x" by "MaRix.gif" by "ultimafire"
