Giveaways and Contests Decmber 2015 - January 2016

Giveaways:
WINNERS: XMAS GIVEAWAYIt's strange to think that a year has gone by just like that. Only a year ago, I hosted this very same Christmas Giveaway, and looking forward a year, puts everything into perspective. I really enjoy hosting these, because you really get to see people "share the love", which is the theme after all. To everybody who participated, thank you so much! It was really great to read  some of the comments and see some people get really into the festive spirit, so that was by far my favourite part to see  Especially for me; I didn't quite enjoy my time here on DeviantArt until I started making friends, and actually being able to share my experience of deviantArt with a fellow like-minded friend made all the difference.
Plus, it's always more fun to win something with a friend, to "share" that experience!
So without further ado, I hereby announce the winners of this year's XMAS Giveaway!

The Gods of Tomorrow
In the days of old, gods were beings capable of commanding the seas, ripping the skies in two, bending nature and Destiny to their will. Of course, the gods back then had gifts inspired by the necessities of the day, right? The tasks and parts of the everyda King Kong and I contest (closed)
With  12,900
Welcome to my second contest
3 years ago, I held my first contest Draw Tom Ripley Contest in 2012 with total 39,600   That event still makes me poor but very pleased until now.  
In 2015, I am quite lucky in art. I won lots of points from many contests throughout the year.
Now I'm ready to hold a contest again and share 12,900 to other artists.
This event is called...
KING KONG AND I
CONTEST
Yes, the theme of this contest is about King Kong and a woman.
I believe that almost all of you have seen King Kong movies at least once from 1933, 1976 or 2005 version.
 So, this event is like 10 year anniversary for the last time we saw King Kong.
