I entered an my pet designs look AWESOME! Good luck to all. :)
I have just sent in a new design:) I’m really proud of my first Time Warp Cat though!
I have a dragon EXACTLY named the 10th anniversary dragon! Except that it’s blue, pink, and yellow. I didn’t copy it. It was my first Webkinz idea. I think I might’ve made mine before they made theirs. Anyways, I just thought it was funny that ours were named the same thing! ;)
LOL! It’s not my best idea, but it was my first one. I made it as soon as I saw the template, so I promise I did not copy yours. (No pictures were even approved yet when I made it.)
It’s fine! Great minds think alike! Also, I love your 10th anniversary dragon! I think you did a great job! And about the name, I don’t care. I bet there is a lot of the same names out there. And also, it’s funny because that was my first idea, too! Anyhow, good luck with this contest! Oh, and congrats to having your drawing shown on here! ;D
I just saw another 10th Anniversary Dragon! LOL Popular choice… Good luck to you too!!
Thanks! Good luck with your entries as well! And also, that’s funny how there’s another 10th anniversary dragon! Looks like we weren’t the only ones with that idea! LOL! I wonder if anyone else made a Webkinz Celebration Cat, A decade of Webkizn horse, or a Confetti and Cake Kitty… if they did, I guess I keep making ones with names that are really popular! That would be funny! Well good luck! Also, if none of mine make it, I hope one of yours does. ;)
I just want someone I know to make it so I can be like Hey I know that person! LOL I’m thinking of new ideas, but it is hard when there are already so many entries. Good luck! :D
Yeah, it is hard to think of new ideas once there’s so many. I did come up with a new one today called the “anniversary cat”. I’m guessing there’s already a few with that name, but at this point of time, it’s getting really hard to find names that no one has. I’m not worrying about it, though, since even if there’s a few out there with the same name, they probably look much different than mine. I would love to make more entries, but honestly, I think it’ll be too hard to make another one at this moment. Also, it would be cool if someone you knew won! It would be funny if you could say that you know that person! ;) Good luck with all your entries!
LOL I had to have my sister help with inspiration. I was THAT much out of ideas! Luckily she came up with a few ideas that she said I could use, which I twisted around a bit to make them more to my taste, but I am really grateful for her help! I hope someone I know at LEAST makes it to the Top 10! (Like maybe you ;D) Anyway, good luck! And I did see your Anniversary Cat! It is an ADORABLE and creative pet!! Good luck! (again!)
That’s good that your sister helped you come up with a few! Now you have a few more amazing entries! ;) Also, thanks for liking my Anniversary cat! I was worried that it was too plain and that it wouldn’t be too likable, but I’m glad you like it! It probably will be my last entry, unless I come up with another. My purple crayon that I’m using for the fur colors is starting to run low. I’ve used it a little too much. lol! Also, good luck to you, too! I’ve only seen your dragon so far, but I bet your other entries are really cool! ;)
The wind in it’s hair horse was my first one, too!! :) I thought of it while I was running around my neighborhood and I felt happy to be free!
That is a really nice story of inspiration! BTW, I love your Wind In It’s Hair Horse!
aww my pets are not in :( but i just got an idea!!! hope its going to win!!!
wow a lot of these were great
I bet the pandora cub will win :[
These are not the finalists. Although, some may be chosen as the finalists, there’s still hundreds of submissions to go through. :P
I feel for you, Matt.
All those entries to go through… I could never do that LOL
Just keep drawing!!!!! :)
LOL I will! Just got a few new ideas :D
I think its creative but why is Pandora in the name ????????
I didn’t make the pet, so I can’t say for sure; however, I think it’s an allusion to Pandora’s Box, a Greek myth; it’s so full of color that it looks like it all exploded out of a box, except the stuff from the box are supposed to be all good things instead of bad things? I don’t know what I’m talking about.
No you have a good point Fracktail. It’s kind of a misleading name lol :P
Awesome! I’m so entering
Webkinz crew, thank you for being so positive when talking about these submissions that you chose in the video. So nice to see everyone’s creative differences in a positive light, no matter their artistic level!
Great job, everyone! Congrats on showing up on this video. I’m just feeling a little sore about this contest- everything seems out of whack. I’ve been voting on entries since day one and everything is messed up. So far, I’ve seen a ton of entries that are rated as a 2.0 average that really should be a 5.5 or 6. I’ve also seen pics with 9.0 average that aren’t all that original and only are competition because they have two votes and no one else is voting on them. I really hope all of this evens out once entries stop pouring in! (Do we have time to vote after the 16th? I really hope so….)
That’s because the community can rate pictures, not just GANZ staff. Which means that it’s likely that some people rated their own picture 10 stars and gave everyone else’s 1 star, or something along those lines; sadly, people will do anything to win. On the bright side, the people at GANZ have said that they’ll disregard ratings and look at every submission, so if that’s true then you’ll have nothing to worry about!
Fracktail is right in that we won’t be considering community ratings at all when deciding on the finalists and eventually, the winner.
I am working on mine.
