edit: the winner.

Oh my, that was a litte... difficult. I should have made the decision yesterday already, but difficult things make me procrastinate pretty bad. But, well. Here you go.

The one who gets the 8 discs is .

I could see that there were many who would use these DVDs for learning and improving, and honestly that was something I'd secretly hoped for :] I LOVE watching artistic progress, it's inspiring. My reason for sending the stuff to Dona is that she seems to be very serious about improving her art skills PLUS she cannot get IFX where she lives.

I initially thought of splitting up the 8 discs but 8 of them sounded like a more interesting offer ;] and I thought that this way people would try harder to get them.

-------------------------------------

That's right, I'm giving away some really good stuff for free :]

That is, I'm offering eight original workshop DVDs from ImagineFX, the leading magazine in fantasy and scifi digital art. They are in good condition and rarely used.
They are from the IFX issues 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32 and I'm offering all of them as a bunch. (not separately!)
They contain many videos, video tutorials, textures, reference images and fonts, exclusive desktop wallpapers, and much more.

See them here:
