2008 Art Games Medal Ceremonies!  
Today we recognize the hard-won achievement and dedication of artists and their teams who strive for excellence in fanart and Snarry. I know that every Champion worked hard for the good of their team and they all deserve highest marks for their efforts. We were all lucky to have won something during these Games.

However, in the competition we set out to do, the Snarry Games Judges (you, the readers) have voted to score these teams, both having shown up to these Games with the most stellar of performances, allowing one to edge out the other for Gold.

Ladies and gentlemen, our GOLD MEDAL WINNERS, with a total of 606 out of a possible 675 points:




Team Dragon!





Congratulations to our 2008 Snarry Art Games Gold Medal Winners!

Random artist notes, haha! Firstly, my beta told me whoever reads this needs to put on some sad jams first. Secondly, I was kinda hoping for artistic ambiguity, but if it happens to be incompetent coherence, please forgive me! I really do hope it makes some kind of sense and that you enjoy it. More apologies if the talking balloons are confusing at the beginning :(
And random trivia, but I couldn't smoothly fit this into the narrative; the flowers are supposed to be forget-me-nots :D

TEAM PHOENIX ENTRY: "Fealty" by Chaos Raven  
Title: Fealty
Artist: [info]chaosraven
Team: PHOENIX!
Email: chaosraven at gmail
Genre(s): Alternate Reality *Hover/Click for Games Definition of Alternate Reality*
Prompt(s): The Prince's Tale, Masquerade
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: G; none
Artist's Notes: In order to feel like I was meeting the prompts properly, I tried to make it ambiguous as to who is whom (god or prince) in the picture. I feel that both Snape and Harry have the attributes necessary to play either part. According to lore (and wikipedia) Odin is often seen with his two ravens Huginn and Muninn (Thought and Memory). He is also associated with shapeshifting into animals. Odin welcomes deceased warriors into Valhalla, but he is also known to disguise himself, as in Ynglinga saga, as a traveler. He is the god of deception and trickery as well as wisdom and prophecy.
Media used: Painter 9.5
Archiving/Usage permission, including the Tribute Video (only after the polls have closed and medals have been awarded): With credit, feel free to use my art for any creative commons attribution endeavor. I'd appreciate a heads up so I know who is using it for what, but that's not necessary.

Genre(s): Alternate Reality *Hover/Click for Games Definition of Alternate Reality*, & Horror
Prompt(s): Rebirth
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: PG13; Drag mouse over space if you wish to know: * *Slight gore, Body Modification (for sewing into skin)* *
Artist's Notes/Thank you's: I had originally wanted to do something else, but time was not on my side (even with the extension from the gracious mods). This is from my first brainstorming session. I'd thought it might be fun to do a macabre image based on Pinocchio. Snape, as the Gepetto character, is fashioning himself a toy out of odds and ends he's acquired.
Media used: Photoshop

Title: Rose and Fire
Artist: [info]venturous
Team:Phoenix
Email: venturous1 AT gmail
Genre(s): Angst
Prompt(s): Flames of Passion, Mutual Surrender
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: R, cursed snakey tattoo
Artist's Notes/Thank you's:I am incredibly grateful to the creative and patient mods, and my fellow Team Phoenix artists. One year ago I was just discovering fandom, and the Snarry Games rocked my world. It is an honor and a privilege to be a participant.

It has been an amazing experience to work with a team, especially these incredibly talented and helpful Phoenixes. Believe me, this art would be much less satisfying without their awesome support!

The painting is inspired by an incredible story from Team Phoenix Author [info]perverse_idyll ,When the Rose and the Fire are One. The story just begged for a painting, and I had to oblige. I only wish there had been time to paint a huge tryptych, so intense is the visual, passionate intensity of this tale!

Media used: oil on canvas, PS
Archiving/Usage permission, including the Tribute Video (only after the polls have closed and medals have been awarded): please enjoy, but ask, and give attribution.
