2024-03-06 - Festival of Eggs Submissions

[TJ09]

Dragon Cave's annual Festival of Eggs is once again nearing. In keeping with tradition, the Festival is open for all to contribute their art too, allowing anyone to send in eggs for others to collect.

 

All submissions must be sent via PM to @Event Art Submissions. The deadline for submissions is March 27.

 

Here's some base guidelines:

• The egg is the main theme, so you must be able to see the egg in the sprite.
• Size limit of 50x50px.
• Images must be submitted in PNG or GIF form.
• Eggs must be pixel art, which generally means that overall color count is limited and pixels are intentionally placed. Do not use filters or anti-aliased tools such as Photoshop's paint brush.
• Eggs may be animated, but should not use rapid or flashing effects.
  • Animated PNGs are allowed, but your mileage may vary.
  • The first frame of animation should be identifiable, to accommodate situations where animations are disabled.
• Semi-transparency is allowed.
• Images must not be shared publicly before the event begins.
• Images should not have blank space around the outer edges.
• Images must use one of the standard DC egg bases (the full-sized dragon base is strongly preferred).
• Eggs may be rejected for reasons other than those in this post—namely, there will be a general quality bar. This post outlines the most common quality issues.
• Only one submission will be accepted per-person, unless otherwise stated later in this thread.
• If your egg is a specific reference to other media (e.g. a video game, TV show, or so on), clearly identify the reference in your submission.

 

There are a limited number of spots available. Art will be accepted on a first come, first served basis from the moment when the art is deemed to meet all of the above guidelines (that is, if you need to make changes and resubmit, that bumps you to the back of the line).

 

If you would like to avoid some common sources of mistakes, you can try uploading your image to this sprite analyzer.

 

By submitting art to the Festival of Eggs event, you grant Dragon Cave a non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license to host, use, distribute, modify, copy, display, and create derivative works of your content. You can end this license any time by contacting us, though the art may not be immediately deleted. The license also ends immediately upon notice from us that the art will not be used in the event.

You can't post your egg publicly before the event, but they have tips in the FAQ

[Vic]

@Modusiticate

Then how will I make it look right?  The FAQ can't tell me how to fix what needs to be fixed.

I would suggest getting private crits from friends! As long as it's not shared publicly, it should be ok!

someone please do Brozone eggs from Trolls Band Together, both when they were in the band together, and then their adult forms later on.  I guess Poppy, Viva, Rhonda, maybe Velvet and Veneer as well. I can't pixel so I can't.
