I see it the other way around, Rita's great work lead Relic into organizing this event because many people are using her skins. I don't know if Rita has been retributed for the 2 first set of skin but she definitely can participate to the contest and win some.
That's a good thing to put in an artist book or CV, showing a company organizing a contest after your first release.
Pretty much this.
Thank you so much, guys, for worrying about me, I appreciated it a lot. But it's fine, really. Just another opportunity to create amazing skin sets in a friendly competition environment! And I LOVE competing! Already started my work on this, you guys may find work-in-progress threads

I understand, a lot of people do not like non-historical skins, but there's always an option just to turn them off. The previous contest was all about historical sets mostly, so, maybe it's time to get some colorful less-restricted fun in this one
p.s. I am working on my realistic skinpack for Ostheer too by the way, I hope I'll put it into the workshop via curated path soon enough :-)
