The end of October and the beginning of November is the time that many cultures associate with holidays devoted to ghosts and fortune-telling.One of the most distinctive ones is Halloween – the night of ghosts, wraiths and tons of candy :)

The Witcher World has a similar holiday – Saovine Eve, the last night before November's full moon.We'd like to take this unique time of year to prepare a special contest for you.We're looking for any sort of wondrous fan artwork connected with The Witcher, Halloween and Fall.

The best works will be awarded a copy of the Enhanced Edition signed by the RED team and a collection of Witcher swag.

You can upload your artwork here. The deadline is 5th of November!

I'd presume that literally any sort of artwork is acceptable, so creativity seems the key.

I'd be actually more curious about the deadline for the contest  :D

Well, at a guess the description of Saovine Eve gives it away. Try November 12 (as 13 at 06:19GMT is the full moon).  ;)

Mind you, all those hemisphere-ists from the north simply refuse to recognise its actually Spring, moving on to Summer.

Hmmm, now that it is pointed out, it does make sense  :wall:
Well, not everybody always knows when the next full moon is  ;)

Fair point. And as such I will make the following public safety announcement....

Cool!  I look forward to seeing all the neat stuff you guys make.

I hope someday you'll have a fan fiction contest, for those of us who are completely hopeless at the visual arts.

Want to be IN a computer game? I'm making one, and I want a picture of you! See here for details.

I've made three new adventures for TW1; you can get them at corylea.com/.

I've also made a bunch of mods that fix bugs, kill annoyances or tweak gameplay; you can get those at the Witcher Nexus.

Yep, we had one and it did great! We will think about another one, why not? :)
but in true Internet fashion, the surprise was beaten to the surprise by the surprise which was originally going to be the surprise, surprising us before the surprise could become surprise we were supposed to be surprised by.

You can try to carve a Geralt pumpkin. you just have to take care of distinguishing characteristic and plant a white wig (or something that reminds of white hair) on the top and that's it  ;)
I can see what you see not, Visions milky then eyes rot.
When you turn they will be gone, whispering their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be, shadows move where light should be.
Out of darkness, out of mind – cast down into the Halls of the Blind…

Carrot swords?  That sounds like a Geralt snowman!  We'll have to wait another month or two for that. :-)

Mhhh ... I'd like to join the contest, but I'm not sure if I'll made it time. Gotta overcome my inner temptations xD

Oh and by the way ... are there no defaults in respect of size and stuff ? Because I have an icon in mind ... an animated one :>

So would this be OK ?

I absolutely will! Size doesn’t matter! (Ok some people says that it does but it’s not the point in our contest!)  :teeth:

You can submit art that's been in the DeviantArt competition, right?  Should be allright for me, since I didn't win.

Have the winners for the fan art contest been announced?  I didn't see the post for that -- it doesn't seem to be in this thread: http://www.thewitche....msg416056#new.
