Tangerine Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Final Thoughts and the Future First of all, a big thank you to everyone who entered! There were so many incredible submissions from a variety of media and from all skill levels. There wasn't a single submission submitted that wasn't a joy for me to see; the SF community is immensely talented, and you guys showed up to prove it. The original idea behind the event was to come up with something we could do that could both show appreciation for our creative community and allow us the opportunity to show it directly, because we'd not been very involved in the past. On all fronts, it's been a massive success, and I've been happy to talk with all of you for the past couple of months! It's been a positive experience for everyone involved, and we'd be pleased to do it again. I'll be making a feedback thread some time soon, so if you have any suggestions or something you'd like to see happen for the next event, make sure you let us know there! Feel free to use this thread to chat, congratulate one another or give people your thanks! If you're a participant in the event, definitely feel free to find your submission thread and post any links to places someone might like to follow you, such as your DA/tumblr/whatever else you use! In any case, without further ado: The Winners! 1) Grima Sculpture by roymbrog at 71 votes - Fire Emblem Fates LE and Fire Emblem Anthology2) Awakening by AthenaWyrm at 61 votes - Dark Dragon, Mystery of the Emblem, Custom Box/Manual and Fire Emblem Anthology3) Battlefield by Vigamox at 44 votes - Fire Emblem Anthology4) Origami Grima by Rocket2Jupiter at 43 votes - Fire Emblem Anthology5) Alluring Blossoms by hypherr at 38 votes - Fire Emblem Anthology6) Fire Emblem by carefreejules at 30 votes - Fire Emblem Anthology7) Meteor Strike by Thor Odinson at 22 votes - Fire Emblem Anthology8) Behind Her Mask by Hakuramen at 20 votes - Fire Emblem Anthology8) Heroines by Pikachu955 at 20 votes - Fire Emblem Anthology8) Sack Aqua by Himagurumi at 20 votes - Fire Emblem Anthology Runner Ups 11) Do the Gods Listen when we Pray? by Kakeyo with 19 votes11) Light Inheritor by LetsJam with 19 votes13) FE6 25th Anniversary GBASP Paint by Birdsgoboom with 18 votes14) Blazing Sword by Mew with 17 votes14) Harem by Reiyson with 17 votes14) Into Peril by zeziamsdemon with 17 votes14) Paladin Cosplay by Mabrchan88 with 17 votes The Raffle Amiibo Roll 1: 61.

You're free to give them to someone else as well, just let me know before they're sent. I will be PMing all of our prize winners and getting the information necessary to send the prizes, so if you're in the top 10 or are a raffle winner and receiving a physical prize, make sure you check your PMs! Any personal information, as stated in the original SFS thread, will be removed from the PMs by me when we can confirm that you've received them. I'll make sure you know exactly who on our staff will be shipping your prize, and will be overseeing every transaction myself to reassure users.

eclipse Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 First off, WOOHOO CUSTOM BADGE~! Oh, and congratulations to the winners, too. Kinda bummed that there were some people that couldn't make it due to time constraints. If another one is hosted, think we'll break 200 entries?

Xaos Steel Wing Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Congratulations to the winners. Everyone who won was entirely deserving of a prize. This has been a wonderful competition and it has been a pleasure to see all the wonderful art, stories, and other works submitted. It's amazing how many talent people are here! I'd also like to thank everyone who read, enjoyed and voted for my story (Everything Went Dark: White Rabbits, White Lies) - it means a lot to me and while I'm ecstatic that you liked it enough to vote it into the final round, I'm just happy enough people read and enjoyed it!

Special thanks to the hosts of the event for putting this all together. You worked tirelessly to make this event a real success. Thanks for allowing us to be able to share and experience something we all enjoy.

SirRob Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Whoa, Battlefield ended up taking over Origami Grima in the end, that number 3 spot was a tight race. I'm glad Awakening and the Grima sculpture were the grand prize winners, they totally deserve it. And grats to everyone who made it to the top.

Tangerine Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 I think you'd find the creator of Behind Her Mask would consider it as much of a written submission as anything else . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadiantDawnLord Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Well, it is too bad that i did not make it into the finals.

Second: Drat, I didn't win the amiibo XD There were a lot of really great submissions, so much more than I had thought. I really underestimated the talent on here, but know I know for next time. So watch out people! This was a lot of fun and I'm happy I could be a part of it. I'm excited to see what all of us, myself included, bring to the table next time!

Busterman64 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Kinda sad to not see music entries in the top 15 because I LOVED Fire Emblem Medley and Aqua Song's New Arrangement , but this was still quite the contest! The outcome of this was somewhat different from what I imagined (and some entires seemed to shine more near the end)! Either way, congrats to the winners and everyone who made it to the finals! This was fun and also a way for me to see how much room for improvement in my drawing skills. I drew my entry in about a week, but I still think I did pretty good in a short time span! You guys better watch out though, because I'll be back better than before next time...count on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondworld Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Literally the only not-petty thing I'm kinda disappointed about the event in general is how few sprites there were. This was great. Props to the winners, especially roymbrog, you definitely earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
