2019-04-21 - Festival Of Eggs Begins!

[dlaESP]

I just found the Magic: the Gathering reference egg! I'm SO happy to see this, I've been waiting to see a reference to one of my favorite things <3

Since we're all showing off our eggs now...

 

I'm responsible for what Lagie mistook as an ad. I wasn't expecting that part, to be honest. I hope it wasn't too pastel-y for people to read (especially the first G)?

 

My inspiration stretched no farther than the Festival of Eggs itself. It's a celebration of eggs, so these eggs are celebrating!

I liked this one, too, even if I did feel silly for a while over my mistake.

I love the Stargate egg with the little replicator crawling out of it. Kudos to whoever made that one.

Wait, am I dreaming or is this a wolf Link reference?? 

Yes, it is indeed a Wolf Link reference. =D

[sashomarine]

I suppose I'll jump on the bandwagon. This here is my egg:

 

 

I am a huge nerd when it comes to all things science--after all, that is what I am currently in university for. So why not celebrate this love of scientific progress by designing an egg after our favorite outdated atomic model? Perhaps I'll make the Schrödinger model next year, once I've figured out how to place pixels without being certain as to where they are at any given time.

[Mathcat]

The atom egg reminded me of an aeon egg for some reason. Something about the colors?

[Clark_Kent]

This one was mine

He shreck. It was my first time doing pixel art (excluding ms paint as a kid).

I also made these befor the limit was introduced.

If TJ makes a public egg contest again I have an animated one in mind. 👌

 

Loving everyone eggs btw! So many creative ideas! ✨💕🥚💕✨

 I am wishing that the time to catch the eggs could either be extended, or the gap between picking up eggs is shrunk a lot. Right now it seems to be more than 15 minutes between eggs appearing, which means only four per hour .  At that rate, I will never finish picking up the eggs.

The colors in the "nucleus" is probably where that connection came from, yeah. Hahaha, such an egg would be the combination of both space AND time.

This is my egg!

It's not meant to be a reference to anything, just to be a cool circuit thing 😊References are fun though; maybe next year if I get to participate I'll make a reference to one of my favorite games...

It's my biggest favorite, I love circuits!

[Yhme]

This one's mine as I said before:

I'm too lame for references, so I went with the traditional Easter paraphernalia. Yeaahh eggs! Yeaahhh flowers! Yeaahhh bunnies! Slightly disgruntled because why not!

 

@Daiyachiri I love the feesh egg! One of the first eggs I caught and it's still my favorite!

And @yellow_gellow thanks for explaining! That little one-eyed fish skeleton egg intrigued me too! Like I knew it had to be a reference, but I had no idea where from

 

@Cowfish249 Aha. Ahahahahaha! It is a wonderful egg and one of the references I actually get, but it will forever look to me like Shrek in a bikini! ISOSORRYPLEASENOHATE

[FluffPandaKing]

This one is mine: 

There isn't any references attached to it, I just like pandas 

Haven't sprited that much so I'm happy my egg got featured on this event.

 

[Marduk]

Love the Stargate egg.  Got it while watching SG: Atlantis. @Tikifish

Just when I thought there would be no FF related eggs this time, I stumbled over the BLU job stone xD

Small correction: APNG's do work fine here.  They are supported in all major browsers: Firefox (since 2008), Safari (since 2014), Chrome (since 2017), Opera (since 2017), even on mobile devices running Android or iOS. The only exception is IE/Edge that displays them as static images (the partial transparency works, but it will not be animated). The next version of Edge based on the Chrome engine will hopefully animate them correctly.

 

Unfortunately, there will still be a problem with GIMP because the support for APNG was never implemented correctly: there was a plug-in for APNG but it has not been maintained since 2010 (only a single minor update in 2013 to make it compatible with the now obsolete GIMP 2.8), and the current GIMP version 2.10.x has a different way of saving PNG images that is incompatible with that plug-in.  Currently, GIMP can save static PNG images or animated GIF images but cannot save animated PNG's. You can use GIMP to create an animation with shadows and partial transparency, but the only way to save correctly it is to export each individual layer of the animation as a separate PNG file (not animated) and then use an external tool such as apngasm to assemble all static images into an animation.

I think the, highlighted, part is where I was going wrong in GIMP. I was trying to save as a partial transparency, ie the shadows, but a transparent background in a png format. This is ALL very good information to know! Thank you. 

OOOOOOH, I have 4 more eggs to find, will I have time!?

[FluffPandaKing]

@Lagie  Thank you so much!

 

Also thanks to everyone else who liked my egg, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it as much as I had fun making it

[Feral71]

I think everyone did so WONDERFUL on their eggs! I hope we get to find out who all did what.   Mine wasn't chosen, "Unfortunately, your creation wasn't chosen for this year's Festival.  Keep on spriting, and I hope to see your work in a future Festival of Eggs!"  Not sure if that meant I could work on a future festival or not. LOL

I think that means you'd have a good chance of getting accepted if you enter next year! Take this time to refine your egg if needed, add extra details to it, or make a new egg if inspiration strikes.

with my terrible eyes, I have to enlarge all of them. LOL  But once I do, I can read it just fine!

I hope so, I love to draw. I have a terrible problem with shaking hands, so it does hinder me. The egg I had originally done I had to scrap cause I could't get my shadows partially transparent. LOL GIMP kept making them black, but after discussing with others up above, I see what had gone wrong.   I'm so used to using Paintshop Pro, but it doesn't animate, that I tend to get stuck in a rut.  I absolutely LOVE how you all seamlessly did your animations! ❤️❤️ 

WHOOT!! Finally got them all.
