CONTEST WINNERS PRESS RELEASE
« on: June 17, 2006, 06:17:41 PM »
Greetings my fellow sith and Jedi, friends, affilates and all those in between......


It has been a pleasure to have taken the time judge the event for our one year anniversary contest and to have everyone to be apart of our one year anniversary. Now before I announce the winners of this contest, I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone of the entrants and all those who stopped by our site to read our article about our recent tours. Some of the people that I owe  a tremendous amount of thanks to are Amy Blanchard from Master Replicas for helping us put together this event, and Arnie Carvalho and his podcast www.reviewstarwars.com and Dark Horse Comics for generously donating some of thier double sided posters. Some of the other people who deserve credit for this event are the adminstration staff for letting me put together this event for our members and all those who are new to the love that is a galaxy far far away and the weapons of a more civilized era.

Now onto the winners of this contest,

There were many entrants of this contest and this was one of the most difficult contests that I have had a chance to be apart of and as a judge been able to make a deceison on.

Whoa! Congrats to all the winners, especially to Ghost4. Your submission was awesome, congrats on your win!. I would like to thank the whole staff, especially Count Dooku and Yoda for putting on this awesome contest. It was a lot of fun, and as much as we complained about waiting for the winners, the whole thing was a great experience. FX Sabers is doing some great things, and our future looks great, you all are doing an awesome job, and I'm glad to be a part of it. Thank you so much for the awesome prize, I will treasure that Maul...thanks again!

Just be careful with Ghost4's poster... Technically that image of Asajj Ventress is from Tales of the Jedi - Mace Windu on page 12 in the lower right panel. If Ghost4 re-drew it that is probably ok but technically comic art is copyrighted if that is where it is from so you might not be able to print it as a poster...

Sorry...I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade as Ghost4's is my favorite too!

I know =(

I just have a photographic memory for images so I remembered it.  I really hope he/she re-drew it but I can't tell from the size of the poster that is posted....

I hope I didn't just open up a big can or worms here....

I'm really sorry all =(

I just pulled out my comics collection and scanned it b/c I don't want FX-sabers to get into any copyright issues. I really love this site!

Wait to see what Count Dooku and Ghost4 say, maybe G4 really did re-draw it

I wasn't aware of the origins of that.  I had seen it elsewhere as wallpaper and loved the pose.  I redrew it and tried to make it jump off the page to fit the "bring the movie alive" theme...

I hope that doesn't mess up the prospects of having it printed... :-\
