Holy shit, I won something!

The Ivy · Fri 04/07/2008 00:40:47

So a couple weeks ago I entered an online competition for "Aspiring Women Game Artists." I certainly did not expect this.

I was seriously walking around for half an hour with a huge grin on my face. I'm not sure what this means, but the universe is certainly giving me a lot of signs lately.

Miez · Fri 04/07/2008 00:47:01

Bloody hell! Well done!

nihilyst · Fri 04/07/2008 01:30:11

Wow. Congratulations!

AGA · Fri 04/07/2008 01:30:35

skuttleman · Fri 04/07/2008 01:31:07

ThreeOhFour · Fri 04/07/2008 03:59:00

That's kickass

.

So you're gonna be a full time game developer in the future?

GarageGothic · Fri 04/07/2008 04:04:38

Congrats, Ivy!!! I was actually going to post about this in the Nanobots thread after seeing the news on the WadjetEye site, but then I found your own announcement.

Moox · Fri 04/07/2008 04:27:23

Congratulations.

Gregjazz · Fri 04/07/2008 05:22:54

Yay, good for you! Cheers!

Nacho · Fri 04/07/2008 07:01:37

Congrats Ivy!

One more thing.... Where can I see the entries? I am terrible at browsing websites I don' t know...

Andail · Fri 04/07/2008 07:42:47

Congrats!

evenwolf · Fri 04/07/2008 08:03:31

That's fantastic but.... what do they mean by "aspiring" ? ? ?

Congratzo!

tube · Fri 04/07/2008 10:18:42

Well done! What an excellent choice by the judges!

I hope this means you'll keep on creating those awesome games for us drooling fanboys to play.

IndieBoy · Fri 04/07/2008 10:19:33

Amazing! Congratulations! Well done!

DazJ · Fri 04/07/2008 10:37:54

Geez...That's bloody good!

Congratulations.

ManicMatt · Fri 04/07/2008 16:47:42

Awsmoe, your ego must be floating in the clouds by now!

Perhaps, big things are in store for you my dear! Don't forget us little people, and when you're head of EA Games and cancelled the Tiger Woods, Fifa, and need for for speed franchises to make room for Spooks golf 2009, Spooks Street, and naturally The Need for Spooks, hire some of the talented folk in this here forum!

Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here..

Akatosh · Fri 04/07/2008 17:05:18

I'm a little bit late to the party... but congratulations nevertheless!

Dualnames · Fri 04/07/2008 20:52:26

The need for Spooks.. totally hilarious/...

GarageGothic · Fri 04/07/2008 23:15:42

ManicMatt, I think you forgot "The Spooks: Sim-Afterlife".

SSH · Fri 04/07/2008 23:30:51

Heh, and Will Wright's Spork

The Ivy · Fri 04/07/2008 23:41:08

Thanks again everyone...I seriously wish I could throw a party for all of you. This has totally made my day.

Nacho, believe it or not it was an essay contest, not an art contest. I heard back from one of the organizers, and she said that, "You were definitely picked since the judges thought you'd put the education to good use."

I definitely don't plan to let them down. :-,

Fleshstalker · Fri 04/07/2008 23:53:06

A gorgeous red head like Erin deserves this. Good job! Well deserved. 8)

Domino · Fri 04/07/2008 23:57:50

Congratulations....And May The Force Be With You.

ManicMatt · Sat 05/07/2008 00:05:51

Yeah, brown haired men like me never deserve anything, we're scum! It's her genetic structure that won the prize, good job! (Are we applauding her parents then??)

Sylvr · Sat 05/07/2008 00:12:06

Awesome work!

Didn't mean to say it was her genetic structure that won it. I just dig red heads. Anyhow, Erin deserves this because she is one of the few AGS games creators that goes above and beyond most AGS creators out there. She is definitely on my top 5 fav AGS creators.

Eggie · Sat 05/07/2008 00:31:00

*synonym for good* !!! <---exclamation marks

Stupot · Sat 05/07/2008 01:34:12

Yay!
Well done Erin, you rule!!!

Ultra Magnus · Sun 06/07/2008 00:29:45

That's really cool, congrats.

MrColossal · Mon 07/07/2008 15:31:03

Hooray! Woohoo! Awesome!

Let us know how it goes, I'm curious about "Accredited Game Art Certificate Program at Sessions Online School of Game Art"

Andail · Mon 07/07/2008 17:29:37

With so many caps, it must be good

Matti · Mon 07/07/2008 17:56:22

Cool. Congrats from me too.

Oliwerko · Mon 07/07/2008 18:15:15

Things like these don't happen everyday, and they definitely don't happen cheaply.

Well done, keep up the good work!

Andail · Mon 07/07/2008 22:15:23

Fleshstalker is gonna stalk some flesh

Fleshstalker · Mon 07/07/2008 22:25:30

I wish I had a stalker stalking me. Has to be very exciting being stalked. Anyone care to stalk me? Please. :'(

SSH · Mon 07/07/2008 22:28:51

To celebrate, here's a Spore Mortia:

The Ivy · Tue 08/07/2008 01:41:29

Sportia!

Thanks to everyone who has said kind things. I seriously didn't expect this much of a response. It's really cool to see how much the "AGS community" is actually a community.

All right, I'm going to stop this before I start getting all mushy.

Darth Mandarb · Tue 08/07/2008 01:58:28

I am honored to chauffeur such a prestigious celebrity as yourself to Mittens this year

I will try to not sputter in awe-struck wonder

Joking aside, this is really cool. Congratulations!

Kinoko · Tue 08/07/2008 05:33:39

Hey, CON-freaking-GRADULATIONS!

That's fantastic, I'm so happy for you.

Dave Gilbert · Wed 09/07/2008 03:27:51

"Frigging sweet" does not do this justice. Congratulations Erin!
