Tofugu’s ThankYou Postcard Contest Winners…Everybody wins!

I was dreading having to choose my “favorite” postcard shot from the ThankYou Postcard contest, but, somewhat luckily, we only got four submissions. Now, originally we said that only three could win, but since we got four, and since I’ve got a lot of extra postcards, I thought it would be nice to extend that to four, and reward everyone who actually sent us a submission. If there’s a bunch of people who are still interested in participating in this contest, I’ll think about doing a part two (only if there’s enough demand). If we did that, though, I think only one more person can win, so let me know if you’re interested.

So now, let’s get to our four winners! If you won, send me your address so I can send you your prize!

King Kong & Godzilla Recreation Scene, By WOTDsctoo:

See the little postcard in the bottom right corner? His dog is Godzilla, and WOTDsctoo is King Kong (rock even included!). Nice job getting your dog to pose, and finding a “fabulous” pink background to take this picture at. You’ve even got the sophisticated King Kong frown down. Well done!

Surrounded by Godzilla, By クリス:

Chris is back again with his photoshopping mastery. Ever since the “New Nara Mascot” contest (he was #5), I think he’s been out for revenge (jk). Nice colors for the bg!

Godzilla vs Ghidora Face, By Janene

Now, Janene tried to make a bunch of submissions. Very tricky Janene. This was her official submission – note that that’s a toilet seat around her head. Hopefully you’re not trying to say that Tofugu’s heading towards the crapper! I kid – but we have to take a look at another one of her submissions. I gotta say, I like the second one better:

I mean, c’mon, it has a sheep…huh, what’s the singular for sheep?

And last, but not least…

Messy Desk, By Lily:

Sadly, this is what my desk usually looks like, though my copy of Juno is electronic. What’s that on the ipod? Looks almost like Sponge Bob. Did you know that I created Sponge Bob?

Anyways, you four, thank you for your submissions! I noticed that all three out of the four postcard designs were represented (Ghidora, Mothra, and King Kong), but no Gigan. What happened to Gigan? Guess he couldn’t find a good home. Too bad, I guess.

    would you mind making a blog or something about personal art.. i kinda want to spam atm.. but have no proper place to spam it >.<~
  • becausedead
    Well I took a few pictures and I couldn't choose XD

    Oh I was just testing my subliminal message skills. TOFUGU is the best!
  • Kitam
    becausedead is from thats song in suicide club ^^
    norikos dinner table(sp.) is the sequel, you should catch it
  • becausedead
    eh? There was a second!?!?! Does it make more sense?
  • Kitam
    it kinda does explain things as a whole.. but moreso it doesnt specificly explain much >.<
    if you ever seen battle royal and its sequal... its sorta like that.. it related directly to the first one.. explains like .. the meaing behind things that happend loosely.. but in the end your still left with a "wtf" moment that is golden when watching this stuff
  • becausedead
    yeah...I can't wait to watch it.....sounds so....interesting (-_-;;)

    haha.
  • Kitam
    to call it a sequel does it little justice in my eyes..i like to think of it as an extended cinematicly relevant transit to an inconclusive detour of identical nature...
    being able to fool oneself takes a critical amount of skill which id like to say ive mastered over the years >.<"
  • becausedead
    ah. Now I really want to see it...but alas I do not have the ability to use veoh...since I am a Mac user haha.
    (T^T)
  • Kitam
    i have it on my hard drive.. -_- i use mac as well.. i could upload it on a site and post the link here if you cant find it anywhere else soon enough for you curiosity
    lol.. ive noticed you use alot of correct capitalizations and punctuations... you mush be an english teacher or something >.<
    you and smexy cookie <3
  • becausedead
    That would be GREAT, I really can't find it anywhere.

    Eh?I'm not an English teacher....I think my English typing skills are horrible, and it doesn't help that I constantly talk to foreigners. All I can really say to that is...I use spell check a LOT. haha.
  • Kitam
    okays.. gimmie a couple days.. im back and fourth between areas with no internet connection
  • becausedead
    Oki doki!!!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
  • WOTDsctoo
    Haha, I was wondering how I won. :P Hooray!

    I think a part two would be cool if people wanted to participate. Seeing mroe would be fun, I liked looking at all the entries.

    By the way, aweeesome sheep and toilet seat! XD
  • Chimiko
    I was too XD;;.
  • mmnessa
    ~Encore, encore, encore...~
    (with a longer deadline so we can all have time to receive our postcards ^_^)
  • ビリー
    I really wanted to enter this contest, but I never received my thank you card.
    T_T
  • mmnessa
    that makes two of us
  • Sougen02
    That makes 3 of us >.<
  • Kitam
    >.<

    i see a part 2 happening
  • emiko
    I like the messy desk one best!
  • Sougen02
    I agree. That one caught my eye. B)
  • Kitam
    i liked the dog one the most..
  • emiko
    thanks for the agreement! . . . i think that things that are less focused on one thing are more interesting, for me at least ^^
  • Joe
    That was a nice positive spin put on the lack of entries lol, guess your a glass half full kind of guy.

    If you did a part deux I'd probably enter
  • mmnessa
    I think you'll find that most people who knew about the contest, wanted to participate but they didn't get their cards.
  • Tonio
    Wow, all of them are very creative. I would have entered, but my postcard went to my parents place, and I have yet to go visit home from school since it has arrived.

    I'd enter once I get it :)
  • Chimiko
    Thanks Koichi!
  • Chimiko
    BTW, that's Arashi on my iPod ^^.
  • mmnessa
    I had to do a double take! I doubted whether or not it was the album cover for "Time"....
    *arashi fangirl*
  • Chimiko
    It is XD;;. Fangirl pride XD
  • Fredy
    I did one too, but it's lame compared to this!
  • aw, you didn't send it in?
  • Kitam
    lets do one more is my vote atm
  • Kitam
    just noticed that me saying "lets do another one" is well over half my post count here >.<
    i will chill out for now
  • mmnessa
    wow, i can't help but say I feel down since I was looking forward to being part of the contest. I had an awful lot of ideas. Never got my card though. Oh well. Maybe next time
  • dang, i wonder why your card is taking so long. I sent it early last
    week. Hopefully it didn't get lost somewhere :(

    Maybe a part 2 is in order, we'll have to see
  • mmnessa
    I know! I don't blame you. Postal Service sucks anyways...
  • becausedead
    I think another one would be fantastic...don't know what I would do through. haha.
  • I didn't really do much to mine except cut out the background (which is now easier in CS3). I just saw Koichi's picture when he first posted the contest and just imitated his pose. And being that the background of my original picture wasn't anything near interesting, I just cut it out and replaced it with a bunch of Godzillas. Believe it or not, I was going to make a Godzilla hang out of my nose, but the picture was already unattractive enough, haha.

    However, I did want to know how you didn't have a glare on your glasses when you took the picture. (Assuming you used your isight camera to take that picture). If not, then nvm.
  • Kitam
    i just noticed her nails match the card
  • Just got that packet of post cards in the mail today. Thanks again. ☆ミ

    Also, interesting choice of packaging. I guess I have a new use for cereal boxes.

    ( ̄ω ̄)Y
  • Hehe, awesome. Glad they arrived!

    Sent from my phone
  • I can't wait to do the same. $199 iPhones this Thursday!

    ワイ〜 ☆ミ3G!
  • yeahhH! I'm actually considering it...IF I get one, I'll probably will wait till I'm back in Oregon though. No sales tax.
  • I wonder if Edward's AFB sell Apple  products. Would be nice to save that extra $15-$16 from taxes.

    Back in Oregon? Where'd you go?

    I'm making my way into Oregon sometime this fall. I have some newborn nieces and nephews I haven't seen yet.
  • In Hawaii :D

    Sent from my phone
  • Ah bummer. I found your youtube too late. :( I am currently learning Japanese at my local college and wanted to participate. My instructor does not teach quite the way I would like to learn. I hope your videos will help though. Oh well. I will be sure to watch from now on so that I do not miss a thing. ^.^ Good job, by the way!
