So many waterfall/fountain things. I NEED THEM ALL. Also the curtains. Those are a definite need!

The wall-fountain is my #1 *want* off that page, tbh.

Gratz to the winners ^^ There where really gorgeous designs.

Mine didn't got in this time.
I suppose it's because I took a double risk, it had animation and it needed to have a race specific pose. So way too expensive for SE taste ^^

Here it is:


There is only one thing who bothers me...Each time SE puts a lot of criteria and if not followed you would be disqualified => need a turn around, need a view from race point of height, etc. But half of the ppl never follows the rules and still get to the win.
So I wonder if next time I shouldn't bother so much and do more drawings but with way less efforts on the rules.

Ye, got the same feeling here, it's not fair.

As someone that participated on all those contests I can say SE does not publish everything we send them on email. Gear contest at least we could send TWO pics and they only posted one of them on the featured page. I got to the finalist list for healer gear contest and they didn't post the info I sent via email, not even the gear's name, only my image.

This time they posted the name of the furniture I've submitted (mine is the oriental wall-mounted shelf), but I bet if I didn't squeeze all the drawings on one single image file they would probably post only one of the images.

For furniture, the rules were: "1-3 images: front design (required), side design (required), and back design (required)". If people sent more info on a second or third pic there is a chance those were not published. I do think sometimes they do disregard rules (and they shouldn't imo), but I would rather follow them to be safe than work with the possibility of SE ignoring their own rules. Nothing is worst than being disqualified because you didn't follow a single rule.
