Welcome everyone! Sorry about the delay on this, most of us had a pretty packed week so delays are bound to happen. So October has come and gone and we had a bit of a sleepy month for the boards. I guess we all got a bit tuckered out with work/school and leftover fatigue from the Summer Scramble, plus all the other odd stresses of this year. But we still had some participants, so please join me in a round of applause for the winners of this year's Oktoberfest events! 1) Creatémon Oktoberfest edition: The winner is @Gazi with their Pokémon Aqualus, the Swamp Pokémon. Spoiler: Aqualus Aqualus, the swamp Pokémon. Type: Water/Grass Pokédex entry: This Pokémon started as two separate creatures that relied on each other so much that they became permanently connected. It's always looking for new additions, and when it sees a person or Pokémon that it likes it tries to pull them in to join it. Inspiration: I wanted to go with a monster that's still well-known, but not nearly as popular as the obvious ones, so I went with the creature of the black lagoon/swamp monster. When I originally drew it it was just going to be a somewhat kappa looking creature, like a lanky turtle with vines and moss everywhere, but the finished shell ended up looking like another face, so I went into that. 2) Deviceful Disguises The winner is @Jupjami with his spooky birdfolk, complete with homemade mask. Spoiler 3) Quoth the Honchkrow, Nevermore - Shortstory writing event. Congrats to @RWBY Gaster for their entry: A prank gone wrong! 4) Pumpkaboo's Precious Pumpkins - Pumpkin Carving Contest The winner (by default heh) is @HeroofFire101 with their very traditional but fun Jack'o'lantern! Spoiler: Pumpkin 5) Inkay's Haunted Paintings A 3 way win by 3 very dedicated artists. All 3 submitted 31 entries for this month's art contest and won their full prize! Well done @Gazi @BZRich64 @PoserPanda Check out their art galleries below: Gazi: https://lakevalor.net/threads/gazis-haunted-paintings.25884/ BZ's: https://lakevalor.net/threads/bzrancids-october-sketches.25885/ Poser: https://lakevalor.net/threads/man-here-too.24643/ 6) Hatching Hexes Counting your eggs after they hatched we have determined that @Cherry3Fairy hatched the most with 12! Close call for SAF though with 9, fun race to watch. So I will be sending off the prizes to everyone who participated. Since no one decided to participate in the Medal creation event I scrounged around the pumpkin patch and found this pretty thing: And that should do it for Spooky season. I hope you all found some enjoyment in the activities, the site skin, name changes etc. I hope you all had a safe and fun spooky season at home as well.
Dang. I had a story that was 90% done for the writing event, but I couldn't figure out a good ending. Oh well, there's always next year.
Hoo boy, I would've been a sore loser weren't it for the fact that most of my eggs are legendaries and those took extra efforts compared to the regular ones, haha. Anyway, congrats for the winners and GG for y'all, folks.
Muahahahahahahahhahahaha. The fate of my Jack-O-Lantern is that it was sacrificed to the compost god.
Three-way-tie! Woo! I'm very happy with that result. I look forward to next year, and the next event.
Haha that was fun~! even though the costume contest be the only one I joined... Can't wait for the next events~
