Frozen Retextures Contest Winners!

Yes, it's the moment you've all been waiting for; the announcement of the three winners of the Roblox News Frozen Retextures contest! Before we get started I'd just like to say that all the entries that were sent in had substance and originality to them, and that it was difficult for me as always to narrow it down to just three winners.

I did eventually come to a decision, and I think you'll agree that these are the most deserving entries in the contest:

1st Place - Ice Dragon Helmet By Blobmista4

Blobmista4's entry was the winner of the Frozen Retextures contest! The model make use of excellent colour contrast between the dark purple and light blue. The light blue eyes and plume are excellent highlights to the hat adding to it's appeal signifying the cold hearted nature of the warrior adorning the helm. This paired with the purple armored shell of the helmet, the white ominous glow shining off the rim above the eyes and finally the detailed teeth turn this entry into a great feat. 

2nd Place - The Winter Wizard By NonstopEpic

NonstopEpic's entry was particular creative in fusing snowflake images with a purple frozen texture underneath. They combine to make a very effective result; an entry with impressive aesthetics as well as being original. The snowflakes on the centre of the hat almost make the retexture look as if it is sparkling in a clear, crisp winter's day. 

3rd Place - Blizzard Baseball Cap By DangerousMonkey

DangerousMonkey decided to choose to use a classic mesh in order create his frozen entry, and it certainly delivers. With a clever transition between new and old, the Blizzard Baseball Cap brings a fresh new feel to a familiar design: giving it a new colour scheme and integrating a frozen stitch texture over the top of the original design. Simple, but very effective.

All three winners will be receiving a model trophy for bragging rights, and their entries will be sent to admins to be perhaps turned into real hats!

Once again I'd like to thank everyone who entered the contest. Look out for another retexture contest coming soon. Get your virtual paintbrushes at the ready!

Frozen Retextures: Featured Entries!

First of all I'd like to say a huge thanks to everyone who participated in the contest! The entries all had a spark of creativity and originality - something I am particularly interested in. The deadline of February 1st has  been passed and so the contest is now over, so please don't send any more entries!


Below are three appealing entries that I thought deserved to be in the spotlight for all to see:

Fantasy Frost Hero - By Carsonv6



With an excellent choice of mesh and simple texture, this retexture really appealed to me. The light blue and plain white colours blend well to bring a frosty feel to the design. The white nose creates the idea of some kind of frozen warrior of the mountains.


Helmet of the Chosen Frost Warriors - By Carsonv6 



Once again this retexture also makes use of a great mesh. The texture on this entry is detailed with frost covering the metallic part of the helmet. The colours bring out a chilly feel to the retexture, really reflecting the  theme of the contest.


Frostbite the Frozen - By NonstopEpic 



This retexture makes use of the ever popular dragon mesh. Blending dark and bright blues and a detailed icy scaled texture, this dragon is at home in the snowy mountains of ROBLOXia. The highlights on the horns add a neat touch to the finished article.


Once again, thank you to everyone who entered the contest! The winners will be posted tomorrow; so keep your eyes peeled!
