one question, is there a file size limit? i'm specifically thinking for animation, not gonna make a 6 meg gang tag but, it's still pretty low for avatars

ok, here is my gangtag submission:



mostly done in aseprite, then imported into GIMP to optimize the animation, 180 x 60, ended up being under 50k after optimization, so that was a nice surprise

hell yeah!!!!!! i really think lofi's was excellent and a way cleaner design than mine, and i also think people might have been intimidated by the technical restrictions of the prompt (and animation is a very niche thing to do). i plan on making my prompt very specific but very open to interpretation

if im getting that gangtag, i just ask that you preserve smallbarf :rip: john candy. it might also be a good idea to make it link to this thread, as i plan on repping the hell out of it in cspam.

i already know exactly what im doing for a prompt but i wanna put a little work into it so it'll be coming later this evening or tomorrow

:siren: Prompt 2: Vanitas :siren:

webster's dictionary defines a Vanitas as "a sweet painting of a cool skull with maybe some fruit or flowers and poo poo" You're probably most familiar with this genre of work cuz it was very popular with the goddamned dutch



morte sighed as he unsheathed his katana

et cetera.

But we want to be more general here so we will go with the wikipedia blurb: "A vanitas is a symbolic work of art showing the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death, often contrasting symbols of wealth and symbols of ephemerality and death."

so i'm not expecting a dutch master still life, anything that meets the above definition will work for me. as such, i'm leaving the format totally up to you: painting, sculpture, photography, performance (one of my favorite contemporary artists is paul mccarthy hint hint) etc.

deadlines:

  • JUNE 19: Deadline to announce your interest to compete in this contest. I'll also make this the deadline to volunteer as a backup judge
  • JUNE 26: Deadline to submit your art

Is the deadline for the artwork to be submitted tonight by midnight or tomorrow night by midnight? Thought it was Wednesday night by midnight but I can have *something* tonight if it must be in tonight. As in 12AM tonight right? Sorry for the confusion.


This would imply I have tomorrow to work too, or am I misunderstanding?

i thought it was Wednesday already :sweatdrop:

good thing time doesnt exist

So midnight in what time zone? I have a pic of mine on my phone but I need to tweak it a tiny bit.

as a resident of the baker islands, i'll be cutting it off at UTC−12:00 :P. basically, try to get it in while 6/26/2019 still exists on the globe.

Electric Dreamscape
Fuzzy Blanket Logic
Outworld Express
Winners Dont Do Hugs
Smoke and Asphalt
Strong Current
Extinction of the Mind
Four Phone Phreak
Beyond the Neon Event Horizon

I am profoundly excited to announce that image uploads are working again, so winners of the Artdome are finally gonna get their gangtags!

Could I ask that it be shrunk a little though? Could someone chop the black edges off the left and right, say up to the edge of the screens on the left and right?



tia, and thanks for your forbearance!

does this work?
