  • Another group is overlapping our template. I messaged someone on it and they said it's a secret activism related thing. They also have decent crew working on it so I think it's time for a backup plan.

    We can do our design from last year, or the bigger one we didn't use. If people really wanted to do the ring I can always try to scale it down, but that'll mean less time to draw it. I'm headed to bed, so I'm willing to let Geek make the call when he gets on. Good luck, morning crew.

    Edit: I couldn't sleep so I made a smaller ring.

    • They can suck our activism lol

      Edit: I think we can kill the dominion banner with some effort through the day, but we're getting VOID'd as well, but there's no room to move in anywhere at this time, so pressing forward!

      Edit: 🤦‍♂️ I hate these cunts

      • Yeah, I spent at least a half hour last night making two pixels black only for dominion to make them white again. When I went to bed the void looked like a tadpole so I thought it was with them. Last year the canvas expanded at some point so we can always try to get a space there, although I'm sure it'll be even more of a shit show since there's no place to plan things out.

  • Here's a shot of the final drawing. I'm guessing Canvas will be up for a bit in read only mode if you want to check it out more.

    This is all that's left of our original drawing. I'm glad someone got some use out of some of it at least.

    Good job everyone!

  • I designed these at one point thinking we could put them in the ring ropes if on one else put anything there. I thought pixel art versions of Botchamania's Taz, Excalibur, and Schiavone are probably obscure enough no one but us would get it, but it would be something. Obviously that was before we got steamrolled by some vegans. I thought I'd share what might have been.

      Brand new sentences lmao. Least the belt worked out and I've almost finished getting rid of the graffiti

      Love em regardless! Tony is lifelike lol

    • We should hold onto these for next year!

      • Oh don't worry, I have files on my hard drive that are well over 15 years old. Those guys aren't going anywhere.

      • Was hoping they expanded the board this year, coulda snuck em in but oh well.
