2012-04-08 - Third Annual Festival of Eggs

Recommended Posts

Tip: anyone using an iPhone/pod

It's easier not to hunt on the 'dragcave.net' page, cause the eggies sometimes get stuck overlapping with the map at the bottom, and then you can't get to them

 

Lol, my mom keeps asking me when theese will hatch. And I'm like "MOM! How many times do I have to tell you; theese don't hatch." xd.png

Oh, I didn't think you could use an iphone/itouch to get the eggs!

 

I tried, but I couldn't find any. I guess I was looking at the "dragcave.net" page. I even checked to see if I had java on (I did).

 

Next event that is structured like this (gathering on random pages) I will try again!

Woot!!! 4 eggs down, 38 to go in less then 12 hours!!! The joy of living with parents that have hundreds of computers, but refuse to buy internet... >:(

Anywhoo, lovely eggs... Could someone help me out? I looked at the first few pages, but only found the credits for a few of the eggs.

 

Make that five down, 37 to go!

For those saying they won't have time to get them all: there's still a full day left, isn't there? Or am I totally missing something? According to the first post, the event runs for three days. So: Easter Sunday (yesterday), Monday (today), Tuesday, ending at midnight tomorrow, just as it switches over to Wednesday, Eastern time.

 

So that's quite a bit of time left, yet. :3

Got 'em all!

 

I love the opal-looking one, the season-tree one and the one changes from gold to fire to blossoms- it's beautiful.

I hope y'all can forgive me for such a boring egg xd.png!

 

It was meant as a sort of egg spriting tutorial to show others how I sprite eggs (not necessarily the "right" way, but a way.) It requires a bit of explaination though.

1. Take an egg base.

2. Use fill tool (;D get it?)

3. Lay down a basic crescent shaped shadow (keeping a bit of distance between the shadow and outline because the egg isn't perfectly flat and will probably have some backlighting :3!

3 1/2. I play with the shadow a little bit, it looks weird here, but that's what I'm doing. I'm adding another color to the  shadow and playing around with the curve and thickness.

4. Add a bright "highlight", this will be nearly white with a tint of whatever color the egg is.

5. You'll see a random darker color change, I only included this so people know it's fine to make mistakes! Feel free to change things up! In my case I felt the egg was too light, so I filled it in with a slightly darker and more saturated shade and liked it better :3!

6. Add shades! Surround the lighter bit with a slightly darker shade, and that shade with a darker shade and so on and so forth. You don't want to just go up and down on the slider to make it darker, you want different saturation, different blends.

7. Smooooth the shades in between eachother, blend them together as much as you can. They do not need to be perfect circles, some of color A can mix in where color B is supposed to be.

8. Now erase the egg and do it all over again for the rest of eternity D:<

 

Boring egg-splanation (I'm.. so sorry about that joke) over! Best of luck on your attempts to do eggs <3!

Considering the amount of time I've spent looking at this particular egg, no, it's not boring at all! On my screen it looks almost like an ND egg that turns Silver before it vanished again. That's a fascinating egg, and thank you for posting it's story! biggrin.gif

 

I also enjoyed hearing about Thuban's sweet little Duck egg and the wonderful Carrot egg from her very artistic son. <3

 

The level of creativity for this collection is wonderful, and I still can't call just one a

"my favorite," but these 3 three are among my 30+ favorites! wub.gif

You have all day Tuesday as well.

It may have said the 7th depending on what time zone you're in but it was right at the start of April 8th, Cave time so we have all day Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday (Cave time, EST) to collect!

 

Great egg-splanation, Dis! Thanks!
