Banner
This year's banner was made by aangs-sister, Dolphinsong, Fiona BlueFire, Imbecamiel, Infinis, JOTB, Kiffren, Mysfytt, Rosella Surmane, Sif, Tridymite, Wynni, and Zovesta. Additionally, aangs-sister made the background grasses and Sif made the blue ribbon.



Basket badge
The baskets were the same as in 2010. See the Festival of Eggs 2010 article for more details.

In 2013, spriters obtained a new basket badge like other event spriters. It has a tiny dragon sitting in it instead of eggs.

Eggs
There were 51 new eggs to collect.

Additional information
"Fiona BlueFire"
 * Comment from Fiona BlueFire on her egg:

- Two months ago a close friend died of bone cancer. She and I shared a love of flowers and of crafting. Many years ago I did a painting of daisies for her, and it's still hanging on her wall. At Christmas, just weeks before her death, I finished a painting of cherry blossoms for her to give her son and his wife as a Christmas gift. We both knew her time then was measuring in weeks, if not days. I was touched that she asked me, and she was glad that I was able to finish in time for her to see it, and see her son's reaction. I wanted to make my Easter egg this year a tribute to this wonderful friend, who always had such a spirit of joy that was always shining from her.

"Hot on Fire"
 * Comment from Hot on Fire:

- Domestic Turkey - We eat these every year for Thanksgiving rather than the brown version. Although the brown version is also eaten, it's not as common to. Wild Turkey - Little known fact, these were meant to be America's icon but people decided the Bald Eagle was better suited.

"Jmm"
 * Comment from Jmm:

- It's a cross between the Chaos Sphere (HeXen) and a tesla ball. Because Tesla's cool. The setting for the sphere was made to look more like draconic claws so it had an appropriate theme.

"LadyLyzar"
 * Comment from LadyLyzar:

- I have always loved Zelda. The dragons weren't meant to be Spyro but I realized that they looked a lot like him after coloring them, so I left it :) Happy Easter to all.

"LadyLyzar"
 * LordFflam's egg is a tribute to "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band".

- (LadyLyzar's hubby) - Hubby is a bass player and that is his Fender Sting bass. We have always enjoyed playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band together and the kids love it too.

"Shikaru"
 * Comments from Shikaru:

- Tis not from Okami or any specific game/show/etc. Favorite animal is a fox, and I really like the designs of those masks.

"Sif"
 * Comments from Sif:

- Started out as a power core with design inspired by the Gree Technology from SWTOR (Yay Star Wars!), and somehow the core turned into its own little galaxy, so I just ran with it. So it's a mix between being a galaxy held inside of an egg and a power core sorta thing, hence the smoke discharge when it opens and the rotating pieces. Overall, just wanted to make something unique and tech-like. Would've liked to make the animations a bit smoother, and the rotating piece disappears on the far side on the portal skin (made it get too dark to go behind, whoops) but whatever.

"TaesoSpiritDragon"
 * Comments from TaesoSpiritDragon:

- I picked the Nautilus because I was always fascinated by this living fossil's shell and had been wanting to do one since the easter event in '11. My folks have a nautilus shell half at home, and I enjoyed studying the intricate layers of colors and layers within as a kid, and the smoothly striped texture on the outside. When I went to create this egg I was torn between doing just the outside, or just the inside, so I decided to do a fade-away from outside to inside to show the subtle beauty of the outer shell and the bold brilliance of the inner shells.

"Verridith"
 * Comments from Verridith:

- I created the egg out of three combined squadron symbols from three Ace Combat games; I've always been an airplane/fighter jet enthusiast and someday wish to become a pilot myself, but couldn't find a good egg design featuring anything with jets I could make workable. Thus, I remembered the Galm team's dog symbol, and has a vision of that same dog walking around behind an egg. Then, while wondering what to put in the middle, I decided on two other squadron signs - thus combining a reference of all three AC games I currently own. Whoot!
