This is really strange, hopefully the admins are able to do something about it without too much difficulty...

Appreciate the update, either way, was wondering about this.

Lmao this challenge was made for you

Yeah, I just felt like it wasn't 100% one way again, like the last fest, but I know bunnies were definitely a more popular choice for lotsa people, too.

Still better than gear, grub, or "fun" on a stranded island imo, though, lol

Oof, Frye can't catch a break lol. Honestly, I felt like the theme for this fest was pretty alright this time around.

Hope everyone had a fun Splatfest, though, and congrats to team Bear Cubs! ^^

Not gonna lie...this Splatfest is adorable I kinda love it lol

Looks like it's up and running again, all systems go!

I was thinking more hard cut-offs for the shading and less gradients, but I don't wanna ask too much more cause I think it's nice, regardless! Will put it up now, and awesome stuff!! ^^

P.s. Thanks again for making such a fun banner for the community and happy to have ya here! 😄

Sorry if this is a little bit too much, just figured it'd be nice to have a little more for ya since I was already making suggestions, but I think the banner's lovely in its own right, too!

Some explanation(s):

• All the hashing is just some subtle shading, pretty much
• All the red is some edits going top-down, left to right:
  • Make the clouds more definitive and in 3's to make them seem a little more natural
    • With some mild shading that follows the "height" subtly of the top of the cloud
  • Make the c/splatoon part more wavy in the water and leaning only slightly towards "splatoon", in the air
    • Or just putting it all in the air after moving the characters a little, too, potentially
  • Make the boat in the background a little more transparent and maybe move it around some after editing the text
  • Push the shoreline downward so it takes up a little less real estate and looks flatter to appear more like it continues outside of the frame
    • Also makes the eye more drawn towards the art and adds some flow to the pic too
  • Move the left character to the right to fit a little more text; and potentially move the island right, too, so that it feels like it's cut off to the right
  • Squeezing the left character's arm in a little since it seems a little too oval-y, to me
  • And maybe changing the receiving end to a squid/octopus so it feels a little more blobby/shapey and pointed (and fun way to show a mechanic? haha)

Either way, I think it's super cool what you've done so far and I'm mighty looking forward to what you can do in the future, too! :D

Edit: forgot to mention also making the waves come out from the shore lines a little more (in sets of odd numbers for that made-in-nature aesthetic!), with some foam/reflective, white coloring to them, too, potentially. 👍

Oh, I love the idea/aesthetic! Very cute and bright haha! Appreciate the effort ya put into it!

I wanna suggest some changes I think might be nice to incorporate before adding it right away, but will try and put some work into it and send them in a bit.

Either way, cool stuff! :D

Whoops, thought these were pinned already!

Either way, congratulations to Team Keyboard and hope everyone had a fun splatfest! :D

Aw, no worries, been there. Hope you feel better soon and also thanks for posting, either way!

Lol, this is pretty much just me when I choose the floors based on how fun they seem instead of what chip I'm gonna get 😭

Oh yeah, kinda of

I wish I knew if there were a way to ping people on lemmy, too...I guess it is still beta.

I know this probably wouldn't work: /c/carp4lemmy, just links you to my profile...

Oh well, for now, seems like it's just DM's, if needed 🤷

Gonna pin this one since it seems like it's getting a little more traction for discussion 👍

(Will also give a link to the other post by Splatoon Unofficial, over here: https://lemmy.world/post/12572932)

Well...at least there's some changes to Splatfests!

^haha...

That Squiffer kit at least goes hard, wowie.

This way!

Congrats to everyone involved! :D

Congrats to Team Solo! Hope everyone had a good fest! ^^
