It would be nice if everyone who participated got a small prize.
*Says the man with 3 votes*

Sucks that people would cheat over something like this. Just human nature I suppose.
Take your time with this Colibri, no need to rush to give a cheater a huge prize.

I still had fun making my Backpack Art and I plan to make more, contest or not. If the EX Staff does decide to put on another contest I would hope that the voting be polled a differnt way, or just leave it up to the staff to pick winners.

Thank you again everyone for the contributions to the BP Art Contest.

cheat? lol... no man, its skilled art... but the prizes involved is a lil high i think

but as far as the cheating goes... that would be a negative, but on the other hand... i can see the picture in them all, what they represent... but yours man, i cant tell... an theres no definition to give me a hint... theres a big cat, a skull, some plants, an EX signature... please give a hint?

It was just a shoutout to EX, completely unthematic, and I feel thats why it got little votes. Because people want a theme.
I've learned a bit to prepare for the next piece of art. Thanks for the bash ;/

There has been an incident of cheating which was announced previously by +Colibri . He and I are checking into it. We will make final announcements after the investigation is complete. Thank you for your patience. Everyone did a lovely job and we truly love all of the entries.

In closing, I will leave you with some of my backpack art. The following was a Christmas Card given out in 2007. Enjoy!

Btw, not that it matters now, but my backpack (15) had a stallion (mule) leading the carraige. He somehow got lost on the way to the judging evidently. I could have sworn he was still in there when I dropped the pack off, but as tired as I been who knows.

I want to add that I am impressed by all who contributed and I definitely bow to Raynes prowess as a backpack artisan. I have a lot of work ahead of me if there is another contest.

A note to anyone who wants to do the next one, gold coins add up fast and quickly get you to the backpack item limit, so use larger items as much as possible. (Might have had something to do with my mule going Houdini on me.) Big lessoned learned there for me.

As an aside, i thought that my use of all those Sabrix eyes might get a comment from someone as I have heard many a player bemoan the fact that they drop so rarely. Just shows you what I know.

Is this the contest that never ends? Our kids use to sing a song called, "This is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friend, someone started singing it and we dont quit no why, this is the song that never ends". Oh well, I had fun makeing my decoed bag.
