Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

Challenge accepted :XD

Is it wrong to ask someone not to do so well nana?

Edit - nana you're too boss! And is it possible for challenge to be un accepted?
:paperbag
You can't unaccept a challenge, that would be no fun :(
You guys and your works is what keeps me going here!

Are you up for the next challenge? That is the new round of the Art Contest! This time is Friendship Avatar & Signature Set! Good luck, everyone!

Dudette you're doing an awesome job!
(Thankyou so much for keeping this place alive and thriving as a former mod of this place)

I doubt it - the word suck-age can not describe my level on editing and set making.
As you can see from not having one. :paperbag

Question - will a co-op or team work be allowed?

I hope people with skills and there are tons here, will take part in the new contest! (A nice theme as well)

You're using the wrong link. You need to copy the image's link, not the preview.

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

There was also a way to see the png file or original upload file extension and use that as the display from the gallery. I don't recall if that was on the back-end or not & unavailable to the members ^^;

The gallery by default used to convert the image to a jpg. Check out Gary's suggestion and see if it helps.

Yeah, this has been an issue for some time... There are some images that have a huge loss in quality on the preview...
For the image link you can > right-click over the image > Copy link address - it gets you the full size archive.

I replaced the img link in your submission post, Faust, if that is ok...
by the way, that was quick! And I almost used Vivi x strawhats for the image in the submission thread title XD

You can always try searching and following tutorials for this kind of thing, it's somewhat easy to find specific ones... and getting a good resource to use is half of the work.

I guess a co-op would be allowed in contests with cooperation-themes, so you'll have to try for yourself for now :T
Maybe we could try a co-op category/theme for one of the seasonal contests...

After seeing the theme, The Vivi x Strawhat immediately comes to my mind and I immediately made the avatar and signature.

For the character reimagination theme, my supposed entry was a freehand drawing of Janna of League of Legends, reimagined as a yordle. It didn't look good and I made her tall for some reason, even though yordles are supposed to be short. And then I read in the submission thread that image editing is also allowed not just drawings, so I just went for Tei-chan, liquified him and put psychedelic background. XD

Yes, yes, they are perfect for the friendship theme, that was all that scene was about!

I know nothing about LoL but I would've like to see it :D
I totally wasn't expecting that kind of concept for the reimagination contest XD ah tei-chan

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

Grats on the win nana; As expected!
I wonder if I should have voted for myself (however that is against my policy so I never do that)
Maybe should have added some color. :shakefist!

Thanks, Charlie :D

for your entry could have used a photo/drawing of a Robin's face and placed the mask you made over it... just changing the presentation a little :)

....yeah you pulled a fast one on me. I also wanted to use One Piece as a theme. Had to resort to using Berserk instead.
The problem I have with Berserk for this contest is that while they can be seen as friends, it ended badly with almost all of the members of the Band dying. So it's a pretty sad and depressing story of friendship and comradery.

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

I think I'm gonna explain my one.

The girl in the avy is Koyuki Sakakibara.
About 10 years prior to the story, she was a victim of severe cruelty at the hands of her parents.
From telling her to go die, to beatings and to even having had to watch her mother commit suicide in front of her eyes.
The events made her mentality severely twisted, writing stories which never had a good end all the way to going along with Marudou's plan to plunge Kawakami City into utter chaos where every criminal can do as they please.During the entirety of Majikoi, she never smiled genuinely.
In the Agave route, it was revealed she knew the MC from childhood wanting to become part of their group of friends, the Kazama Family (sig)
They already saved Miyako who was tremendously bullied, treated like a disease by everyone.LITERALLY.
However, the group denied her which is why she became horribly deranged despite being very sweet natured.

In the Sequel, after playing through every single heroine route, where she keeps making appearances, one unlocks what many regard as the true route of the entire series.
Which is hers.
In that route, time is rewinded and she nervously approaches the MC offering him Marshmallows and this time being accepted by the group of friends and is saved for the first time in her life being cheerful and smiling happily as they helped her with all her issues and to overcome them as friends, fixing her life she leads in the Agave route where she ends up all alone rejecting everyone.

According to the MC, she is the Tower Arcana personified,
This card follows immediately after The Devil in all Tarots that contain it, and is associated with sudden, disruptive, and potentially destructive change.The Tower shows a tall tower pitched atop a craggy mountain. Lightning strikes and flames burst from the building’s windows. People are seen to be leaping from the tower in desperation, wanting to flee such destruction and turmoil.[The most important aspect of the Tower is that with any destruction there comes creation. Thus, the Tower card represents an awakening and is about inspiration, freedom, reality and the release from bondage. It is a truth and honesty card that comes as a bolt of lightning to you through a shocking and impactful life event. It represents a necessary experience that forces you to get out of your comfort zone and to grow beyond your present level. The sudden destruction of the Tower represents the immediacy of change, and the often disorienting effects of that change. Once you hit rock bottom the choice is yours. You can revert to the self-defeating, restrictive Devil, or reach for the transformational and inspirational Star. When you begin to reach for the Star, you will come to realise that your true security and strength lies within yourself and your relationship with the Universe, and not in some false belief system or artificially-created world. Following a Tower experience, you can rest assured that you will grow stronger, wiser and more serene as you begin to develop a completely new perspective on life that you did not even know existed. These moments in time are necessary for spiritual growth and enlightenment. Truth and honesty will bring about a positive change, even if you must experience pain and anxiety throughout the process.
Who develops into a star instead of committing self-defeat becoming the devil.
The Star Tarot card brings renewed hope and faith and a sense that you are truly blessed by the Universe at this time. Courage, fulfilment, and inspiration are in your life. You are entering a loving phase in your life, filled with calm energy, mental stability and deeper understanding of both yourself and others around you. This card is saying to you that, over the long-term, you should have faith and trust in the Universe. A better future is waiting for you but in order to reach it you must trust that it is indeed possible.

As it follows the Tower, the meaning of the Star Tarot card suggests that you have endured life’s challenges and have been through a difficult time but you are now open to healing and transformation. Your ability to let go of damaging memories has been strengthened by contact with your true self through these difficult times. Hatred, envy, bitterness, and revenge have burned themselves out and no longer shadow your life or get in the way of your potential for future happiness. You are now also able to forgive and forget so that you can embrace new opportunities.

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

Wow, Beatrice, thanks for the explanation! I always feel a bit lost when a reference of a story I don't know is used... it's nice to know why that reference was chosen :)
