I dont like the idea of a background contest. Mostly because i know some peoples art atyles will automatically be preferred over others and not give everyone of every style/skill a chance. which is to say, my art is bad and if i have to competebinsteadnof collaborate i'm bowing out immediately cause i already know i wont get picked and i would rather not try than fail. lol

depending on what you'd all like to do, a basic background seems to be a good idea. not sure how I feel about the background contest.

I would prefer a basic background personally :0 We could just worry about drawing characters, which most people probably enjoy drawing more lol

I agree with that. Characters are more fun. And I vote OCs too, not canon characters or the like, since that'd also be more fun.

I'd assume that you guys have the graphics used on the site, so maybe a mod could make an image with the "The Unofficial Message Board" and maybe just a basic blank background? Whatever would look nicest on the banner. If we can get that figured out I think we could probably start passing it around to the artists :0

I can try my hand at that. before I do, do you want a basic background color like white, grey, black, etc.? or would you prefer something else?

Hmmm I'm not sure, maybe we just give it a transparent background for now and add something once we have a better idea what it looks like?? I'm just not sure what would look best haha

I wanna help more but I've been so busy irl :') so I agree that if we go the collab route we should be able to draw our own characters or draw canon if that makes people happier. Either way, I don't feel it needs to be a choice as this seems to be more focused on our community rather than warriors as a series itself. So, with that in mind I think human/similar ocs would be cool but for a "more" uniform look it could just be limited to official characters and warriors fan characters? I could probably help with putting the final image together in whatever way I can. Been doing graphic art stuff for a long time now. However, if this turns into a bg contest instead, I will be backing out mostly interested in making a big collab image with others. It's been like,,,,,,,,,,, SEVERAL years since I've seen one of those types of projects

Idk what others have in mind, but I thought we'd be doing something like this :0
Really messy cause I just threw it together lakjflakjdf But maybe we go down the list one at a time, each adding an OC to the banner until it's full? If we run out of people and still have space we could add OCs for people who can't draw. Like, we make a thread asking for OCs they'd like to be added to the banner and add those until it's full? Idk lkajdflkajdf just an idea. I’m not skilled at traditional art, but if you guys do end up running out of OCs mine are available. I’m really excited to see how the banner turns out!

okay, I've found a way that we can share the banner file back and forth. If you're all okay with using Google Drive, let me know. Here's how it'll work (hope this makes sense): - Sand uploads the template - Member 2 downloads the template, then puts any of their art on it - Member 2 uploads it again to the Google Drive box - Member 3 downloads Member 2's file, puts their art on it - Member 3 uploads it to the Google Drive box
An example: the google drive box
is this too complicated for anyone? thoughts?

I thought it would be easier for everyone to just draw, and then someone with good visual espertise take those files and order them/layer them so everyone fits.
Like I said earlier I don't use a normal art program so the chance of my file being incompatible w/ someone elses file and vice versa is significant. But if we just draw a character and then give it a blank background in .png then someone can just download all of them and resize as needed to squeeze em in.

Leapkit - did not think of it that way, that would be a good way to go about it actually! I think it would make it easier.

Ye, it might be best to create a file for layers, and then once everyone draws their layer, they can be placed into the final banner, like placing down stickers! Just have the template we draw on be the same size for everyone, and be transparent for the background.

You’re not late at all! Feel free to join and welcome to the forums! I was thinking that today or tomorrow we choose someone who can handle all of the layers. Is everyone okay with that?

You’re not too late! I think I’ll try to start us off tonight if everyone’s still interested.
edit since I don’t want to double post: is there someone who is willing (or I can do it) to be like the person who visualizes the spaces for the art? Just asking. Also, I think if those who are interested want to start drawing, go ahead!

Imagine if you put your character next to a canon character of your choice. That would be fun.

I'll get to arting straight away! Just a few questions, where do I submit it when I'm finished? And what size canvas should I work with? And am I just giving a heads hot? Or full body shot? Or does it matter? Sorry for all the questions lol

I was also wondering what size to draw my character at/how much space to take up. Is Mint still planning on drawing first and setting the amount of space we should stick to?

Post by Sand on Nov 16, 2023 14:28:54 GMT -5
mintedstar/fur🦇 — how do you want to do this? Do you wanna start off or should people just submit? The canvas size is 960 x 195 (in pixels). I’m not sure what size you guys normally work with for a canvas size. Since we’ll have someone putting it together who knows visual space correctly. (I know it for websites, so I could always try.) You can do full body, headshot, it doesn’t matter. Do what you’d like!

I think it would be wise to decide how much space each character gets generally so one person doesn’t take up too much of the canvas. Having to resize the character to fit with the rest may make them look weird.

Post by Sand on Nov 16, 2023 16:06:50 GMT -5
That’s a good point. I’ll try organizing an example and see if I like the sizes that I can find. I feel like 200x200 may be a good canvas size per 1 drawing.
