I once shouted at a prank caller to get the hell off my phone, and it turned out to be my Grandmother. Does that count?

Anyway... On with the GUIOs!!

GUIOs


Is that pronounced "gooey-ohs"? Sounds cool.

I think I'm gonna wait with my first WB submission until then. Its pretty cool, but I can work on some extras for it until its time to release it.

I don't think the winners are as obvious as one might think. There are a lot of 'sleeper' skinners still floating around that haven't done anything in a while. With the stated categories there is a lot of room for variation as well.

Still wonder if the deadline or the official announcement will be in march. I'm putting some graphics aside, regardless.

that´s my biggest fear: too many categories. did not have any clue what was really going on. guess that happened to many people. the public vote had nothing to do with the category most of the time.
cool this contest has been revived. first i´ll have a look a Pixelpalooza and then let´s see what´s going on here.

During the last 2 years and a half I have being a professional skinner, not having time to release free skins, but if this contest really happens, you can count on me, I am really missing the skinning for fun! GO! GO!

Should be much nicer and calmer since Shoggot isn't here to stir things up. I volunteer my services to judge... if you need an extra one.

If it is in March I won't have anything to enter most likely, but I will enjoy the heck out of it even if I do not

Ooh... count me in.

(and hello Treetog...)

To avoid possible 'skinner spotting' influencing people's voting (or judge's voting - not sure if there is to be a "people's choice"), would there be a way in which skins could be submitted anonymously? Then the skinner revealed after the marking?

The other thing is, everyone has their own strengths. I can see how well I would do in the icon category!!

I look forward to the competition details.

Anonymity may not be a total success as some skinners can be recognised by their style....

I am with Paul on this, the style of some authors is easily recognized, I would recognize a skin made by Essorant miles away from it.

btw, howdy BakerStreet and Essorant GO! GO!

I can't wait to see the people that we haven't seen in months (or years) enter this. Does anybody remember a man called "Dangeruss". He had some fantastic skins. That's just one that is of the top of my head. There are so many good artist, it would be a long list.
And I have to agree with paul, also. It would be to easy to spot.
We have a ton of questions, that might not be answered until the end of the month, but I'm happy to see the bug still biting people. (skinning bug, that is).
