Love this! Can’t wait to create a room!
Love the themes. Only suggestion for the window…..ghosts floating outside the window. Love your other halloween windows with the moon and animated lightning.
I love both of these submissions; and I used all of my votes for the winning classic theme. I seldom do halloween, but I can hardly wait to start decorating this year, because of your room, qrax. :) The window is intriguing and hope the Ganz team does it justice ! I love the next room theme, too, and would use it if I could; but alas, I do not play on next. Congratulations, to you both.
Ganz, please do not change the bed or the window ! 0v0 They are perfect! The pillows and coverlet are smashing ( ahem ) colours and design, and that window is something else !
love it !!! the classic theme is very nostalgic <33
Congrats to the winners! Side note, i thought you needed eight items to submit in? Will the art team be creating a few items to go along with vintage Halloween party theme?
They always make 12 items for a theme. You don’t have to enter more than one item for it, either. It’s more of a concept they are looking for. Here is a direct quote from the original post for the contest “Here’s how it works:
Design your idea for an item or items in a Webkinz Halloween Theme. You can design any item/items for your theme that you like!”
Webkinz team, if you can answer this, may we know if these were the themes that actually received the most votes? Because it’s said that the Webkinz team gets the final decision but takes the votes into account. Idk, I just feel like that kind of leaves us in the dark about how the voting actually went if that makes sense? And you were the ones who chose the 5 finalists so doesn’t that mean you’d be fine with any of those 5 winning the vote? I don’t really understand why the final decision is still up to the Webkinz team if you guys chose the finalists.
They are the ones ultimately crafting the whole theme, it’s great to have a cute picture on paper, but they are the ones who have to bring it to life from a 2d to a 3D environment. To work on an isoplane for Classic, and a 3D environment for Next. If they do what they did for Christmas where they had a ‘export to Classic’ version the there is an added element there. They have to know everything they do is possible and maybe some of the ones they chose are based on a popular vote but not in their reach to do in the alotted time frame. So many factors involved.
It’s just a bit confusing to me why they’d bother including a theme in the finalists group if they weren’t seriously considering it as a feasible option. Plus, like I said, with the way things are, we never really know how the voting actually went.
Like, why get people’s hopes up that a theme might be possible if it never actually was?
Congratulations to the winners!
wow love it.
