All Grown Up

On August 10, 2005, the first ever WC Community Skinning Contest started and was sponsored by Ama02, Fairyy~, BX (me), Bichur, Jafo and Apocalypse_67. It was such a marvelous experience which could never be forgotten.

After a while we had the second WC Community Skinning Contest named as WC Community Skinning Contest: The Holiday Edition. The contest started on September 3, 2005 and hit new heights of success. Last time, the sponsors were Bones2112, Brewman, Bichur, Me, Hus and Apocalypse_67.

Looks wicked, judging from the preview!
I can't wait to try it out once it clears moderation

And, of course, Stardock releases a similar theme to the one I was doing. Well, sorta. Uploading anyway - didn't get nearly as much done in it as I would've liked, but it's usable as-is.

-Every Submission MUST be your own work and MUST be a fresh Piece of work. No Ports, No borrowed Images, No Re-coloring of Old work

Nothing really just rambling

Okay, if someone has a concern about a skin not meeting the rules then it should be identified to either BX or myself by PM (not in a forum post) so that it can be looked at.

In absences of that I can only say that the decisions of the judges will be final.

I sincerely hope that this does not cause problems.

(gathers the pitchforks and torches)

Oh no, no problems at all.
