WOW! That's pretty much the only word myself and the rest of the Diablofans staff can use to describe seeing all of your entries. If you're wondering why it took a few days after the contest ended before I made this post, it's because it really did take a long time for all of us to decide on the winning entries. There were just so many great entries in the Class Art, Class Lore, and Class Skills contests, and we really wanted to take this opportunity to thank you guys for putting so much effort into them. We expected some truly great entries here since three BlizzCon tickets were up for grabs, so it was really nice to see so many of you putting in some truly ticket-worthy efforts!

If I had my say, I'd make sure every last one of you received tickets to BlizzCon. Alas, Blizzard supplied us with 3 tickets to the big convention, so we had to narrow it down to the top entries in each contest category. It was very hard to narrow down the winners and all three of the contests were extremely close! That being said, we'll also be sending out Diablofans.com t-shirts to the runner-ups of each category so they won't be going home empty-handed!

Without further adieu, I now present you with our BlizzCon ticket contest winners!

Congratulations for whoever won! the winners' entries are amazing!

[Magistrate]

Congrats, guys! You all worked hard and it showed :D

[Deadlyhazard]

At least I got an honorable mention! Oh well. Grats to the winners.

[Magistrate]

OMGZORZ!! You have a hammy avy, too! I should start a fanclub.

Must... Make... on topic...!

Specifically with the artwork, it was very, very difficult to choose. A lot of it looked like it could be real concept art or something-or-other, and some of it was very unique in style and approach. The skills were mostly very creative, some of them less serious than others (* cough Blizzard representative cough*), but were overall mostly good.

[Eldius]

Congratulations to all of you that won.

HAMMY CLUB!

I know I lost the skills contest because I didn't put effort into the trees and saying what level were required, where they could be allocated, etc...

Gypsy rightfully won it, was a very detailed skill tree.

I thought the Blizzard representative one was hilarious, because it's partially true.

[mordred]

Congrats to all! Gypsy skills are so cool!
I would vote for "The Summoner" for art... But still nice job!
If the guys at blizzard do half of the work and do have half of Imagination we'll have a hell of a game!

[Sutekh]

Congratulations.
I't was fun and interesting following this contest these past weeks.

Blizzard should consider having a contest like this to. If we look at how awesome the enteries for this small contest was, imagen a contest launched officialy by Blizzard!

[Ydoc]

Yes, congratulations to all who have won. You might as well sign up Shiramune for one of Blizzard's concept artists. Quaility art there.

[Roskvape]

Congrats, Shiramune! I was rooting for you, even though I wanted to beat you at your own fort?. :D Maybe next year. ;)

And thank you to everyone who voted for me!!!!!!! (And thanks, mordred!:D)

Roskvape

[aMorphos]

I was hoping for you to win Shiramune!
I however, kinda hoped it would be with your Dread Knight. My fingers are crossed for that class to show up in D3.

[Oaknutter]

Really great stuff. Congradulations to everyone, there were some seriously BA art done and Eidolon's drawings were supremely BA.

[Majpain]

Congrats who won!

[KP11]

Daym didnt even make it to the honorable mentions-list ;)
Congrats to all :)

[PhrozenDragon]

Congratulations to all of our winners! The submissions were quite different from each other I must say, which was a really good thing. I was pleasantly surprised I must say.

All in all it turned out really well I must say. It's great to know that we have a community that wants to get involved like this :)

Are you kidding a chance to go to Blizzcon 09 would be AWESOME! Especially sine I'm an hours drive from the site. I had to enter the contest even though I knew I didn't have that Originality in my Classes I just wanted to get them out there to have that chance.

I must say thank you Diablofans for even having these contests!

[Daemaro]

Thanks to all who were involved. The sheer amount of entries was pretty large and the quality of all the works were amazing. It was a pleasure to overlook and then help judge all of the entries. :)

[jaspert]

Congratulations to everyone how posted their own works of art. I was tempted to participate in the contest (i have a diablo scetch somewere in the art forum) but i dont live in USA so i would have never reached blizzcon anyway, never the less i love what everyone posted and i hope the winners represent us with great pride.
