    These are maybe the coolest prizes we've ever given out. Truly one of a kind! Expect an entry from Schmake Schmodkin.

    I accidentally sent three entries, but only the third one has my mailing address in it.
    Could you guys just ignore my first two emails?

    I really feel like there's a catch somewhere, but I can't tell!

    Well mine has a bunch of random Sam & Max doodles on it, too! One of them being the greatest combination of all, Pac-Max! Pick that one! (Plus, there's always another Lincoln, too...)

    I drew a random ape pi... i'm not sure why. I believe it may be a combined result of 1: rping as a werewolf PI and 2: writing a noir fantasy story

    Oh dear.

    Make sure to look out for my entry. It's the one with an ape on it!

    I drew a baboon because per Wikipedia's definition of an ape:

    The original usage of "ape" in English might have referred to the baboon, an African monkey.

    I drew Donkey Kong. A pretty underwhelming DK at that.

    Since Emily's blog comment says "We'll announce the winners this week.", I take it that now means today?

    Awww... I didn't win. At least my entry was in the gallery. It was the one with the crappy Sam and the actually halfway decent Max. And Pac-Max. If it isn't obvious, I can neither draw guns nor Sam. :P

    I won, muahahaha. Mine is the crappy one doodled on notebook paper and edited with my computer to add color. I wish I knew what sketches I'll get... oh, and I'm Jake Roth, btw.

    As an artist, I'm more pleased now with place in the spotlight than if I would have won.

    It's an honor to see my art in the gallery, atleast, even if I lost.

    Some of you guys are really talented artists (and funny too)! I enjoyed looking through the gallery. :cool:

    (Btw, I did this one... My style sticks out like a sore thumb if you've seen my Sam and Max fan art. :p )

    Some of you are very good artists, as mine shows, I'm not.
    Congratulations to the winners.

    Congratulations to the winners! That's one cool prize! I did try my best to draw a nice ape man. Here's Mr. Bongo, straight from Telltale's own gallery - > CLICK.

    Congrats to the winners! :D

    My blue, vaguely misanthropic ape made it to the gallery, too. Neat! I'm also kinda relieved to find out I wasn't the only one who didn't draw an entire ape (from head-to-toe). Good thing ape drawings come in all shapes, sizes, parts, and various stages of completion. ^^;

    Hahaha, I want to know who's the artist for the ape that's like black smoke looking.

    It's the one to the left of giant purple ape drawing.

    Mine is the baboon with Max mask and Strong Bad butt.
