A headshot of an interesting-looking person.

A simple prompt with a low bar for entry, but to compete, you'll have to have the highest quality, most creative work of anyone.

Invent a new Pokémon.

It's more like, "all things that can exist do."

Hey, that's kinda rude.

I disagree. The views during /r/place are negligible. Advertising Lemmy and stealing their users: priceless.

I also think the contest guidelines are partly to blame. The whole, "avoid the corporate vector look, look at these super detailed illustrations" thing is horrendous advice. It basically translates to, "avoid doing what the most talented app icon designers in the world do."

Yes, the icon should be fun and stand out. Yes, the Facebook "f" is boring as fuck. But some of the greatest app icons are extremely simple, and there are reasons for that. Fine details don't display well in the actual contexts that icons are used in; they make the design seem muddy and confused. People resonate with clear design that knows its purpose.

It pains me to agree, since the community put so much effort into these, and that's truly appreciated, but I don't feel like any of them live up to Voyager's aesthetic. They're all kinda amateurish. Hopefully the devs do another one of these contests in time.

That is absolutely wild. Thanks for sharing.

Hang on, so you're saying all the text is "in camera" too? How?

This is actually super dope.

Shout out to Pixlr E. It's a free, web-based Photoshop alternative, and it's surprisingly full-featured and easy to use.

There was nothing in the rules about it, and all the contestants so far have done it, so I'd say use it. That's a good question for next time though.

For me personally, I like using all the tools at our disposal to create the best image possible. But I can also see how that might raise the bar for people who aren't skilled with Photoshop and create a barrier to entry. So I'd be okay with either decision.

Wow, this is one of my favorites. Such a cool style, the colors are beautiful.

Hah!

I used to think this was a joke from Garfield. I still do, but I used to too.

Futura Condensed Medium is the font. Both for the title and tagline.

Ooh, these are really nicely done, I especially like Nightmare Code. I can totally picture the story. And the tagline has that classic campy wordplay.

For a second I thought this was a joke from Garfield

I'll take super genius. 😁

But alas, it's Photoshop.

Still, the lora would've been nice for a number of reasons. The art in the lora's example images looks a little more accurate to the style. The composition of the image would've fit the available space a bit better (you may notice I had to cheat a bit and make the book taller than it would be in reality). It would've saved me time cutting out the goop around the border, and the border would've looked better since I did a really lazy job with it.

Thanks! 😃

There's a lora? That would've been nice lol
