Missed the show? No worries! You can watch the recording on YouTube:
It's always a blast hanging out with the community, so let us know what you most like about KI Lives so we can continue to make them even more fun to watch.
Welcome to the very first IslePlay Community Livestream! During these streams Kyle IceWielder and Hawkules will quest through either Wizard101 or Pirate101, talk with you live, and potentially give some fun stuff away! Check out a new episode every Friday at 3:30pm CT!
SPRING DECORATING CONTEST WINNERS
Spring is nearly over! We hosted a decorating contest over the last month and WOW a lot of Wizards make their homes into art pieces. With 6 categories total over 2 games, we ended up giving out more than 800,000 Crowns worth of prizes!
A huge thank you to all the Wizards that entered the contest. We had a wonderful time looking through all the submissions and learned a fair few decorating tricks ourselves. You can look at the voting history on the @Wizard101 Twitter feed.
Adam Roush is our Senior Concept Artist here at Kingsisle Entertainment. Sometimes Adam will create a series of concept art for a particular scene or character and post them on his social media. Here are a few concepts of his most recent pieces this month:
“Here's the Unforgiven Dead character design, wielding a rusty claymore sword.” - Adam Roush
"Here's the load screen for the Unforgiven Dead Gauntlet. Had a lot of fun working on this one!" - Adam Roush
"Here's the Poodle Moth Mount from the new Peppergrass Glen bundle. It was fun to paint this cute and fluffy bug!" - Adam Roush
