We're in the same fart!!.

I'm still laughing at that. Sneaky!~

For your belligerence you are marked an enemy of feddit.org!!! That green wiggely will haunt us for the next year!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Mwahahahahaha! Bring it on!

(It wasn't just the green wiggle - I actually managed to shave two lines off the flag, top and bottom. Plus some pixels from the sides, but those got undone really fast by HΓΆrnchen and Comput3. My goal was to leave only the text with some border.)

I only noticed the "Canvas in 24 hours" post.

Big thanks to everyone involved - I had a blast, and truly appreciated the collaboration in bringing a fairly large starship to life!

Thank you for respecting the smaller artworks! :D

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It seemed like the Federation thing to do.

Next year, we'll probably go smaller.

I am quite surprised the green and sky blue fill maintained a quiet zone around the data matrix

Aside from that green potion thingy, but that seems light enough gray or correctable.

Thanks, great work everyone !

The event was pretty smooth this year. No major fighting for space at least when it came to our art, and just a few 502s. I believe there was some botting consisting of at least 6 accounts at the very end, and it's incredible that the people behind the targeted art fought that off. Reported those to grant as usual.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

It was actually a bit sad that there were not more fights.

Thanks you again for this year, it's the first time it is that full! Less bugs than last year and the first time i saw actual diplomacy between communities! Oh and happy birthday!

And once again we are here! Thank you very much for making this happen

That was cool but I’m not understanding the corporate logo fluffing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Thank you for making it possible!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Thank you for hosting this again!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I'd like to thank you for hosting the event, plus everyone who helped me out with a few pieces of art! Also, the furries for being great neighbours! And the Enterprise folks, for letting me build booze on their starship!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Thank for this event ! It was really cool :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Thank you so much for hosting this event. It was a good idea to not expand, it would have been too sparsely populated then.

Until next year? :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Thank you, this was a lot of fun to participate!
