I now present the winners of the NG Halloween Art Contest. Because of the prolonged contest time and the sheer amount of incredible submissons, we've decided to double up on the prizes this time around. It was still sinfully difficult to choose the winners and understand we had to draw the line somewhere.

I've been told I'm going to get a possible onslaught of people questioning our choices, so please keep in mind we did our VERY BEST to be fair, weighing artistic merit and originality. Everybody is gonna have different favorites, SO TAKE IT LIKE MEN AND DON'T COMPLAIN :)

Blood and Gore follows so possibly NSFW:

1st Place: $100 + T-Shirt

If you're listed as a winner, please PM me your full name, address, AND preferred shirt SIZE and COLOR (blue, black, or green). If you already have a newgrounds shirt, just know we have many cool things in the works for future prizes, so keep on submitting to our contests and you never know what you'll WIN!

Finally, judging these contests is taking years off our lives so I'm setting up a forum post HERE where you can list ideas on how users can have a clearer voice in the voting process. We'd still have the power to override decisions, but we'd like a better way to gauge reactions from everybody.

The next offical contest shall begin in two weeks. Polish up those drawing skills and BE READY.

Grats <3 :D Awesome work.

well, Ill tell ya, FIRST you're a great artist. the pacman one was really well drawn, but..it had barely any "zombie" to it. and the earthworm jim one was great as well.

please dont take it personally, you were damn, damn close. unfortunately we could only give out so many prizes....and we do keep an eye on people who submit alot, dont think it goes unnoticed.

Well I guess ill just have to try harder next time then. Thanks for the Explanation :)

For the record I think that most of the submissions were extremely well done. Like Johnny said they can only give out a certain amount of prizes. Its to bad I have no art skill because I had some really good ideas for that contest.. I drew a couple of them but I didn't even bother posting them because they looked like a pile of shit :). Anyway congratulations to all the winners(lol@zombie pong)

Was fun, looking forward to future contests. =)

(Although I'm not sure if I will participate should the theme follow along the lines of drawings made of certain people in power here, penises just isn't really my thing. ;))

are ya sure? cause with such a prentious comment like that, I coulda swore I just smelt dick.

congrats to all the winners. next time I will try hard on one single submission. I always say im going to spend a long time on it but then when it gets to the detail I say screw it and just submit it from there.

Aww man I thought I had a chance at a t-shirt at least. I spent a long time on that :\
Well, it was fun anyway.

Awesome, im going to look like a creep and draw people in my school whenever i have the time. THEN MAYBE I WILL BE WORTHY

Dude the fact that I won a t-shirt at least makes me THRILLED!

Thanks guys...great competition and I look forward to submitting more work.

I'm getting a shirt...awesome!!!!

i was hoping the defense attorney would get something...

MMM... Bummer I didn't even win a t-shirt. Oh well I knew I had no chance of scoring high considering my Leon Kennedy was black and white, and I screwed up the scan.
I'll try harder next time

Psycho Goldfish (another submission)

I liked both of those, the characters really take on the personality of the contest, which to me was the most important factor finding which ones i liked most.

I'm sewing them together to make a car cover. Thanks for putting on the contest, twas tre fun!

Though my Rampage piece shoulda won it ALL!

Splinter Hell from PG was, in my humble opinion, the funniest. Mainly because it was the most recognisable, for me anyway.
Congrats to all the winners.

Heavens to Betsy! That's so awesome!

Congrats to the winners, I was a big fan of BomToons stuff as well as Psycho's and that's it. Wait I liked the duckhunt one too, good job.

Wow, I don't even remember seeing some of those entries(I guess the contest was a little too long). Cant wait till the next one.

Is it just me or do you have to use a tablet or a scanner to win.. :/
