You gave me so much, when all I asked for was World Peace!

First things first. I just have to say that Double Fine fans are the most creative and talented fans there are! I’m totally amazed by the awesome ornaments you guys made. I’m not kidding. You people would make a Grinch’s heart so big, it would explode. Which would be a terrible, terrible ending for a kid’s cartoon. Shame on all of you.

It was incredibly difficult for me to pick a winner in each of the three categories, and so I did what I do with any task to hard for me: I made the team do it. We held democratic-ish cyber-vote to select the winners. So now, if you don’t like our choices--hey, it’s not my fault! But if you DO like our choices—you’re welcome.

Without further ado, let me announce the winners!

In the category of “Psychonauts”




Jamiem! With his lovely Coach Olisanta. Photographed so sweetly, I think he may have been… in love with it.

In the category of “Double Fine” the winner is…




The felt stylings of one known simply as “Lehm.” Very nice. Although I personally voted for the felt portrait of ME. (No, not the one where I’m wearing nothing but a diaper. That one almost won but everybody who would have voted for it passed out from over-stimulation before they could.)

And the winner in the category of BRÜTAL LEGEND is…




Sugarbot’s gift for Eddie!
It’s Festive! Violent! Adorable! Just like our fans.

All our winners will receive an original drawing from talented Double Fine artist RAZMIG MAVLIAN! Your hands will touch paper that was touched by the man himself. If you are foolish enough not to wear gloves while you handle original art.

Here are a bunch of ornaments that almost won. In fact, they were just one tiny bribe away from winning. Check out all this holiday spirit, and then go get started on next year’s ornament.

A bribe? Like what, a year’s supply of bacon? Because I can make it happen. 

But seriously, congrats to the winners!

(and thanks for considering mine! That’s almost as good as winnin’!)

Oooo congrats winners!

And I’m surprised one of mine made it into the mentioned ones :O!


Posted by Evitron on 12/17 at 04:24 PM

I rather liked the Emotional Baggage ornament.


Posted by Conrad on 12/17 at 04:34 PM

By the way, is it only the three winners who get to send in their ornaments?


Posted by The Ivy on 12/17 at 05:14 PM

“I wish I were a Christmas tree so that I could wear these ornaments until the day I die”

Egad, a secret message! wink

Thanks for considering mine as well. Next year: more bacon.

Congratulations winners!

Your places are well deserved!

cheese I’m just happy all three of mine almost won.

(and that Tim Schafer personally voted for one of mine. eh eh eh) LOL

Anyway, I’ll still send them, if you know… you’d like them.  red face

Yay congrats winners!


Posted by Foofaraw on 12/17 at 06:48 PM

Hooray for the winners!

Too bad almost doesn’t count…

And thank you Double Fine for being awesome and having this little contest.


Posted by Tim Schafer on 12/17 at 07:26 PM

To clarify: the winners *must* send in their ornaments if they want their prizes, but of course we would be honored to have *any* of these fabulous ornaments hanging on the Double Fine Action Tree. Like the judge said about the cattle rustlers, “Send ‘em in and I’ll hang ‘em!”

Awesome, mine was an almost.
Its to bad about the over stimulation thing though.  I personally thought the milkman a la dr. strangelove should have been a runner up though, that one was pretty cool.


Posted by Tim Schafer on 12/17 at 07:47 PM

It was!
I swear I uploaded that one.


Posted by Sugar Bot on 12/17 at 07:50 PM

So, will we be contacted through a PM in the fourms with the information we need to get these to you?

And YAY! I’m so glad I won! <3 Joy of joys! I think I can die happy now!
However, I’m a little sad that the one I put the least time into was the one that won. XD
But hey, you guys are getting all of mine anyway!
I can’t wait to see some action shots!


Posted by Apple Pop on 12/17 at 07:57 PM

If only I had put gloss on (and overkilled it) on mine!

But seriously, great job everyone! it was fun and I’m glad that we all got to see each others work! It was well worth it! (However, that Greek God one deserves a parade still.)

Congrats winners and all who participated! I highly doubt the folks at DoubleFine had any chance to get their votes in at all though. Thanks to my first rate psychological education I can tell you that Tim is obviously a totalitarian leader. (deducted from: 1- Obsession with one’s shoes 2- Influencing things from afar (i.e. updating the news section from strange places))


Posted by Chief Wakamakamu on 12/17 at 08:51 PM

Woot! I almost won! This is almost such a great honor!

Actually, it is a great honor, although winning would have been an honor to end all honors

I might send the secret agent anyway. After all, I do owe you guys for…

...making psychonauts… I guess?

Is there any chance I could get one of them shiny cut-scene disky thingys?


Posted by Mr. Johnson on 12/17 at 11:29 PM

well, this contest made me creative again after X numbers of years. that’s good enough for me.


Posted by Mr. Johnson on 12/17 at 11:31 PM

i do, however, not understand how a glow in the dark beard failed to impress.


Posted by agent57 on 12/18 at 01:44 AM

Will there be a next year? I hope? I missed this contest deadline, distracted by less important things like not failing my classes. :( But all of the entries are all lovely, and congratulations to those who won!


Posted by lejwocky on 12/18 at 02:08 PM

wow, the stranglove milkman was there, all the awesome must have blinded me


Posted by DinkyTiny on 12/19 at 01:31 AM

You folks do an old (85 minus 65) man proud with these fabulous entries.


Posted by masquerade on 12/20 at 11:33 AM

Congratulation to all. The coach Oli was my personal favourite, so I am pleased to see it made the final 3; bravo, Jamie-M. And great going to all who entered, I salute you in a most royal fashion.
