Snow Sculpture Contest (Behind The Scenes)

I know not very many of us are that intersted in sending drawings to Disney for the Snow Sculture Contest. But I decided to make a blog about it anyways. Here is your own personal copy of Happy77's interview with some of the artists resposible for the snow sculpture drawings.

Q: What do you look for in all the submissions you get?
A: A great submission is fun, imaginative and makes us smile! But there are so many talented and creative artists playing Club Penguin that they're all making us smile!

Q: Tell us about making sculptures from a drawing. Is it very difficult?
A: The artist who drew it did the difficult stuff. We get to do the fun part. First we transfer the original drawing onto our computer and create a black and white version so that it kinda looks like a coloring book picture. Then we take it and make it look like it's made of ice.

Q: If you added flavored syrup to the snow sculptures, would it make them into beautiful, yummy snow cones?
A:Indeed it would! However, you might unintentionally upset the poor artist whose masterpiece would be inside of your belly... :)

Here is a "Behind The Scenes" look at how the Club Penguin team transforms a boring 'ol drawing into a snow sculpture masterpiece!
