QUOTE(Gajeel Redfox @ Jul 17 2016, 02:25 AM) *
I'm surprised at how many people had trouble staying under 64 colors. I can't even fathom why you really need too many either. I find it best to use at most 5 shades of a single color. Still I can't wait to see the eggs people have made.

Hm I know a lot of people use other brushes than the default pencil in ms paint so I think their brush just affects the surrounding pixels as well and slightly changes their shade.

Or if you make your egg template 500% and then use the zoom in to get it 800%
cause I guess for some things it can be useful to have a giant template
but then when you make it small again, you can get a LOT of extra accidental color which you then have to remove/fix

I use that trick (first resizing to max, then back to original when I'm done) when I edit and/or make textures in Painttool Sai for 3D models that some of my fb friends like to make/edit
For spriting contests like these it's really inconvenient at times so I don't recommend it.
Especially not if you're in a hurry because you may forget to reduce colors.

Trying to make a design I'm happy with is seriously so hard... xD I've actually pixelated only a handful of my ideas and I just KNOW I'm going to submit it right before the deadline

Edit: Well... after spending five hours tonight making two more eggs, decided to go with the one I made last night after all xD I hope it does okay

I made my egg transparent, but the site linked in the OP made it a gif instead of a png, so I went back into Paint and saved the transparent gif as a png. I didn't realize until I'd submitted that Paint changed the transparency into a solid black background, so I'm glad whoever's sorting through submissions allowed me to resubmit. I ended up just submitting the white-background version from before I tried to make it transparent, and it looks fine on the contest page's white background. happy.gif

We'll be extending submissions through at least Wednesday, to allow more time for new submissions as well as resubmits of denied ones... and also possibly because I don't have the time tonight to get the polls up anyway. happy.gif

Literally just read this. oTL I accidentally submitted a revised version two minutes ago that didn't have a transparent background. Would I be able to fix that?

Yup, don't worry, we've been catching submissions that don't have a transparent or white background (transparent definitely preferred, if only so the white doesn't negatively sway voters later). Feel free to resubmit.

Could we get an update on the main GPX page (where it says Design Egg-Stravaganza) as well as the first page/post? Many people probably don't know since the update is only on this page and it may help get some people to actually submit an egg if they have an extra 2 days happy.gif!

I asked on FB but gonna ask here as well for visibility. Are we allowed to resubmit if we've made a slight edit to what was already submitted? Or is this just for people who didn't submit or submitted w/o transparent backgrounds?

Just got an answer.

I'm so antsy to see if my new one will be accepted! I'm actually kind of glad the one from Sunday was rejected - I think the tinkering to fix it for resubmission actually improved it in the long run. Is the deadline still tonight?

Submissions will be closing tonight, but not precisely at reset (we'll be out until later).

However, I'm going to allow resubmits of denied entries until Thursday night, and then the polls will be up at some point on Friday (possibly after reset Thursday). The page will just be closed to new submissions after tonight.

Hopefully polls will be up in the morning, I've gotta be up and in work for 8 so I may have to check them late afternoon (around 5-6pm).

Can't wait though!
