Hello friends and members of the Draw A Day community

It is time to finally share these results with you, and tbh, assessing and choosing the winner was a challenge. Going through all 8 entries for the Frostfall Founders Contest was a satisfying experience. Each character is amazing and comforting in its own. Just like I said deciding on the winners was definitely a tough job because you all brought so much heart and effort to the challenge. We even had to factor in that community engagement tally, which made the final ranking very interesting.

A special thank you goes to Hive account@dinglehopper. His Bundlebug courier entry earned a spectacular score, but since he is an admin who keeps our community running, he graciously stepped aside from the HIVE prizes. That’s what makes this community so amazing that love and support.

Here are the Official Frostfall Founders Winners

1st Prize 4 HIVE

The Toasty Hearthbrew Alchemist

(91/100): Your Toasty Alchemist was just filled with personality and cheer. I love the charm in your lore about him humming jolly tunes to give the brews an extra kick. You had a perfect creative score, and a higher engagement score would have made you the overall winner.
