Well, everything official ended one month ago and now the results are in. I can honestly say this contest was a bad idea. I've seen people do them before and thought they were easy and fun, however they are not.

What I've learned is it's best to just commission people if you want artwork. The idea of a contest is confusing and hard to advertise. I was actually looking for more entries from more people. I also thought having a port contest and a normal picture contest at the same time was a good idea; it wasn't. I also thought having a large selection of characters to choose from was a good idea; it wasn't.

In the end, I want to thank the people who did enter. And to thank the people who helped pick the winners.

First Place - wins $50 or something of near equal value.

As for the ports, I'll probably use Pastelistic's and lolzplz but I'll talk to them about it. The others, if you want to resell them you can but only if you edit them and such. You know the drill.

Anyway, enjoy, I'll be contacting all the winners during this week.
