oh sorry fluff54 its on the second of the harvest owl article
Time to finally get out my sketch book again.
Oh wow that’s a seriously freaky great prize!!!
I’m going to enter. This contest will totally be one of my favorite ones, :D Can’t wait to search my ideas and create… :)
I click the link of Freaky Fan Art Gallery and it doesn’t say where to upload!! Help!!
there is no submit image button! please please please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaase fix this! I cant upload anything for the recent contest and im getting rather peeved :(
AWESOME!!!!! I cannot wait!
Awesome! But im not sure if I will do this…
I will probably forget or if I do get something done then I wont get it on the share center…
Wow. I will never win this. xD I can’t think of anything.. I might enter if I get an idea. This is definitely cool though. Good luck everyone!
Wow, great job! I really like that item, and can’t wait to use it. Awesome artwork, besam! A job well done. =]
Wait… it said log in from October 21 and October 31 for a FREE Ghastly Gazebo… is that only for the people who participated? Or for everyone?
Everyone who logs in will receive a prize :)
Awesome! I work at a haunted house every October and I’m down there all summer helping them set up so I can throw together some ideas from scenes we built so far and in the past
wow, i’m going to get started
got my design time to open up “Paint”, redraw this, and enter it in!!!!
As much as I would love to enter, I think I’m going to stand by and not enter it so someone else can enjoy the 50,000 points. I already won the last contest anyway.
Whoo hoo Loved this design!!!!!!
Heyy, wait a minute! I love the Gazebo, but I submitted an entry on the 19th and the moderation team hasn’t even looked at it yet. Did anyone else’s submissions not get looked at either? I don’t want to put a damper on things, and I’m really happy for besam, but I don’t know if it was a mix-up, or…?
Yeah, like not even being able to enter. That’s not fair either. But I will say that I was impressed with this design when I saw it, and it fits perfectly, so I’m glad it won. Congrats, besam! Fracktail, I’m sorry your entry didn’t get moderated. I do understand the feeling of disappointment, since the gallery wasn’t there for me. But enough of that. Congrats besam, I love this item!
i mean im dissapointed i love the gazebo in all, but i took pictures of all of my designs and then my mom went to the beach WITH HER PHONE AND ALL OF MY PICTURES WERE ON THERE AND SHE CAME HOME THE DAY AFTER! )=: ( crying face )
Wow, I got an honorable mention! :D That alone made my day! Anyway, Fracktail, I entered my designs on the last day of the contest, and they apparently looked at mine, so I’m sure they saw yours, too. :)
Congratulations, dinosaurtracker13! Your flytrap was really creative, and I also loved your scarecrow! And yeah, I saw that a lot of later entries got accepted, but mine is nowhere to be found and I haven’t recieved any emails about it (except for the first automatic email that says “thank you for submitting”, you know the one), so I’m assuming they never got around to it. But all of the runners-ups and the winners’ submissions were awesome! Great job, everyone!
Hi Fracktail, if you got the email saying they received your submission, they saw it. You don’t get another email from them unless you win. Better luck next time!
No, I mean the first one that says “thank you for submitting”. When you submit something to the ShareCenter, you get two emails: one that gets sent automatically directly after you submit, and one that says whether your picture is in the Share Center or not, which is sent after the mods look at it. In this case, the emails for the winners are the third ones, not the second. I hope that cleared things up!
Thanks, Fracktail; I’m glad you liked my designs! :) Sorry about your entries…
dinosaurtracker13 you did a good job
Congratulations, dinosaurtracker13! I’m glad you got an honorable mention!
Aw, thanks, ArtMagician! :)
Awesome! I’ll start on it when I’m out of town this weekend! I’ll start thinking of an idea!
Cool, but uh…… What happened to last month’s Social Superstar?
I dunno, I never thought of it, haha. Also, where have you been, Pokekinz??? It’s been four whole days since I heard from you! FOUR DAYS. (Kidding, haha. It’s probably been busy with school and whatnot :P)
Yeah, I missed the Social Superstar bit. Also, I missed the Be A Deluxe Designer Gallery. So I hope that this one actually HAS a gallery. I think this will be super cool, and I definitely want to enter! Hopefully there is a gallery for this this time around. ;) Oh yeah, and you two (Pokekinz and Fracktail) would be worthy Social Superstars. I’m not trying to get you to like me more! Just being honest! Ask others! They’d say the same. ;)
100% the truth!
Thanks guys! It means a lot. :D I’m really happy that you guys like my comments (and the puns they entail :P)
Yesh, thanks guys!
Totally, Fracktail! You and Pokekinz are both great commenters here on Webkinznewz. I always love reading you guys’ comments. c=
Thank you! I’m happy that you’re happy :D
AND READING EVERT SINGLE “BRAWL IN THE FAMILY” COMIC. (O_O) And also our Nintendo Entertainment System works now. And family visiting, and yeah, school. So I’ve been a bit busy, heh.
Awesome!!! What kind of games do you have on the NES? You’re so lucky to have one of those!!! :DDD And yeah, Brawl in the Family is AMAZING. And quite possibly my favorite webcomic. I especially love the holiday and milestone comics, they’re so perfect :’D
Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Duck Hunt, and Marble Madness. I’ve beaten Super Mario Bros. 3 and Marble Madness (both of them in multiplayer, though, so I had some help :P ), and I want to beat the other two Mario Bros. games. And also, it’s Waluigi time (I liked those way more than I should’ve, heh…….).
Wow, cool!!! Those games are awesome! I’ve never played Marble Madness, though. It looks hard! And who could forget Waluigi Time. WALUIGI TIME IS ALL THE TIME. (I didn’t know if you’d gotten to it yet, so I didn’t want to spoil it in my first post :P)
Yeah, I actually read them all, heh. And also, one of my favorite comics is the one with Waluigi as a chef, using his special spice, “Waluigi Thyme”. XD Also, Marble Madness was super hard. It took me forever to beat. NOW EVERYBODY, DO THE LUIGI! ♪ ♫ ♭ ♬ ♩
Haha, Waluigi Thyme was the best. XD Then again, I have a debilitating love of puns. :P I also liked the story arcs, especially Cocoon Academy. (And “Meet Me at Final Destination, the last story arc ;_;).
Urgh, I made it all the way to the end of World 6 in Super Mario Bros. 2, and then I lost…. Darn it. And yeah, I liked Cocoon Academy. And Tom Nook was there. Cuz Tom Nook is great (also, Resetti is a teacher, so yeah).
Aww man, that stinks! I know how you feel, Desert Land from SMB3 was like that for me. Those jumping brick block towers…>.< And yeah, Resetti as a teacher was funny, haha. Plus, Ganondorf’s class is full of Future Heroes! :D
Sorry, late reply again! But the Ghastly Gazebo won apparently. Actually, that’ll probably work well in my Freaky Forest room, in the area inhabited by… Someone…. I don’t know who, just someone.
I love Waluigi. Combining Wario with Luigi was just brilliant!
Oh man, Waluigi is awesome. Unnecessary fun fact: his (and Wario’s) names come from the Japanese word “warui” (basically means “bad”), and their respective Mario brothers, which fits since they’re essentially mirror versions of each brother. :P It also works since Mario with an upside-down M is Wario, haha.
yeah who will it be? when will they do the social superstar
Dude! I totally tried asking them about that over the weekend, but for some reason they weren’t moderated or deleted somehow! Glad I wasn’t the only one wondering! Will we have a belated Social Superstar or 2 Superstars this month??? Is Social Superstar still a thing or is it over? I would think there are plenty of WKNewzers you could choose from! :D I like getting to meet new people in the community, and this feature exposes us to some really cool stuff people inspired by Webkinz! :D XD
oops *really cool stuff people MAKE inspired by Webkinz! :D
Wow, this is great! I LOVE DRAWING!!! :D
Me too!!!!
this will be fun
hi fluff54 what your WW user again i don’t remember
Oh gee I wonder what I will draw… :o It’s kinda hard to think up an idea! Good luck to all who are entering and that’s an awfully generous prize Ganz! XD
my user name is MLZ2004!
Wow, cool! I’ll definitely participate in this one (I couldn’t do the last one because school, but now I have a long weekend so I’ll have plenty of time to do stuff!).
awesome contest!!!!!!!!! :) is there any way we could send the art in?
HEY WEBKINZ~ Can we design and submit ANIMATED items??
and by animated I mean interactive, moving, they make sound, you can sit in/on them, etc ^_^
Dear Ganz, I want to enter my drawing to this gallery, but theres no way for me to submit an image to any gallery after “share your score”. I really want to enter so PLEASE HELP!- g2u3c4c5i
Dear ganz, about my last question, I found out that their is a submit image button for all galleries when I’m logged out but when I log in, there are three galleries that I can’t submit images to: days of play, deluxe designer and the freaky forest design contest. I really want to enter so IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE HELP ME ASAP! Thanks, g2u3c4c5i
I can’t find it either! How are other players submitting their drawings?
I cannot find this gallery, either! I couldn’t find the Be a Deluxe Designer Gallery, and now the Freaky Forest Fan Art Gallery. I have the Fan Art Gallery, and that’s it. It’s not fair that some of us can’t submit our images. We are potential winners in this contest! Please, either fix it, or explain to us why we can’t find the gallery for the Freaky Forest Fan Art contest. Please, if someone here knows how to help us, please help!
Congrats, besam! Great Gazebo!
Aw man. I didn’t enter my creepy candle yet :P Oh well, It is much better than my simpleton car though. Nice gazebo.
Thank you! :)
Besam, I saw this entry when I was viewing the gallery, and I was impressed. I can definitely see why it won! You are obviously an AMAZING artist, since the detail on your gazebo is fantastic! Congrats on winning!!! Hope you have fun with your 50,000 estore points!!
