The Webkinz Decade Dragon will be made into a virtual only pet that will be available to adopt at the Ganz eStore. Stay tuned for more details regarding the official release of this pet.
In the meantime, please leave your ideas for the Decade Dragon’s Pet Specific Food and Pet’s Specific Item in the Comments section below. In the next few weeks we will be posting concepts drawings for the Decade Dragon as the artists take the beautiful drawing sent in by 4accounts and turn it into an actual Webkinz!
Congratulations to everyone who made it into the top 10, all these designs are lovely. :) I do, however, have a question for Gennelle. I submitted my designs before the deadline, although I never got a confirmation email. I am pleased for everyone who has qualified to win, but I was just curious wether or not my designs had the chance (again, since I didn’t get a confirmation email or any notice). I know a friend of mine who submitted her designs had the same problem. If you can get back to me, thank you! And once again, good luck to those who have been noticed! I know I would’ve been pleased to have a virtual version of my Webkinz design! <3
If you sent it in before Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 10 am (EST), it was seen and considered. Sometimes moderation emails end up in spam folders or get lost.
Oh, alright, thank you for responding – and sorry to bother you again Gennelle, I’m sure you have many questions to answer, but I was just wondering if there will be more contests like this soon, or if there are any other chances to have a design made into a virtual (or real plush) pet? I really like the idea of the “create-a-webkinz” type events.
We don’t have anything planned at the moment, but chances are good we’ll run another contest like this again in the future.
When I first saw this contest, I immediately started sketching designs, and my first one was the ‘Astronomical Horse’. it had the same blend/gradient with the stars and the same color distribution (but mine also had the phases of the moon on it and the North star for the eye instead), but I ditched the idea and started the Pandora Cub. I just found it so weirdly great that another Astro Horse made it to the finals! Haha. :) Coincidences are great.
LOL I’m sure if you really did make the Astronomical Horse, it would have made it to the finals!
Anniver-star-y Kitten and the Confetti Celebration Kitty
I hope the Confetti Celebration Kitty wins!
It’s sad seeing so many people getting angry at GANZ and the finalists just because theirs didn’t make the finals. I mean, it’s okay to be discouraged, but getting mad at the winners and saying stuff like “oh, I worked sooo hard on mine, so mine should be here instead of that person’s artwork” is kind of selfish, to be honest. These people worked just as hard on their submissions as everyone else, and they deserve as much respect as anyone else. It’s nice to see your artwork up there, yes, but it’s even more important to be a good sport, and I think that’s something a lot of people are forgetting.
i agree! it seems like they are being selfish and not being kind to the ones who are in the top 10
Hey there Fracktail I agree! I have to say that I was pretty discouraged when one of my designs did not make it but at least I tried! I am supper happy for all the Finalists! Good luck to you all! #ArcadeCubForDaWin !!
i like the Pandora Cub by Goldstar2.
i thought that i would be in the top ten but i guess that my other better entries didn’t get uploaded in time :( :( :( :( :( congregations to all who entered and to those lucky people who won. i am really disappointed i wasn’t up there. maybe next time ……….
I love the decade dragon by 4accounts! I love them all, but I really hope that one wins!
WOOOT I knew it would win! That pet is so AWESOME!
I really like the Birthday Bear, Fairy Dragon, Birthday Cake Bear, and the Astro Horse! I actually voted for some of those too! Congrats to the ten people that got their ideas chosen!
I was really hoping my fairy kitty would win! If one of mine had won, that would be the one I wanted! If they do a design a cat or something I’ll probably re-enter that one! God bless!
