Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (Deadline February 21st 2010) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Hello and sorry but my question might be a bit irrelevant. It's the first time I would like to participate in such a competition and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a free tool that I might be able to use in order to make the trinket.

(Deadline February 21st 2010) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote   Question: (That I don't recall seeing before, but I could be wrong) Are we allowed to make trinkets that have two colors that change? Can they both be from the same palette? (Or should it be one olympic, one enamel, for example?) Aye, that's fine.

Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (Deadline February 21st 2010) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote I think the Cloverfly is quite cute, personally. Tough call about the wings. I think I prefer the fully separated wings, but you can always leave both up, unless you're working on another design. Or, even compromise between the two, and bring the line within one or two pixels of the body. ---------------------------------------- Gwiddon d'Sage - Making her own avatars since 2005 DeviantART Is yer sword a foil? ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by ddraigeneth at Feb 18, 2010 3:00:36 PM]

Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (Deadline February 21st 2010) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote I've got a problem. When I upload my trinket on the hosting site (photobucket), the colors change. What could I do about it? LINK (Left shows the one I made and right shows the one I get after uploading) Even the colors of the picure which shows the colorchange change.. :S ---------------------------------------- Pirate: Wasbeer Ocean: Viridian ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Knorps at Feb 19, 2010 4:25:37 AM]

Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (Deadline February 21st 2010) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote What format are you saving it in before you upload it? Photobucket changes some file types (eg. .bmp if you are using MS Paint) to .jpg which might be what is changing the colours. Try saving the file as a .png file type and then uploading it to see if it makes a difference =D By the way, I love that trinket! =D ---------------------------------------- Adrielle (retired) / @AmazinAdrielle on Twitter ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Ezmerelda_M at Feb 19, 2010 4:02:40 AM]

Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (Deadline February 21st 2010) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote   The arrrtists can touch things up if they have to, but providing an image ready to go into the game will increase your odds of getting selected. Is my Cloverfly 'ready to go into the game' (except the fact that the background isn't transparent)? ---------------------------------------- Pirate: Wasbeer Ocean: Viridian

Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (Deadline February 21st 2010) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Just in case anyone finds this helpful, I thought I would share! =D ---------- To get a transparent background, I used Photo editor (which you can download for free using the instructions below, or it is part of older versions of Windows). 1. Make your trinket's background a colour that isn't used anywhere in your design, and open it with Photo editor. Eg: I made my background white, as white isn't used in my lovely face design 2. Select the "Set transparent color tool" (At the top, next to the little icon that looks like a sun). 3. Click your background colour (Use the mouse wheel to zoom in if you need to). In the box that comes up, make sure it is set to "Color similarity: Exact" and "Transparency 100%", then click "Ok". It should make the background transparent (shown as grey and white squares), but leave the rest of the image normal =D ---------- * Download/install instructions for Windows: 1. Download the self-extracting zip file 2. Double click it 3. Click "Run", and unpack it somewhere on your computer where you will be able to find it again! (All the files have to be in the same place for the program to run, so if you move it later, make sure you move all of it, lol) 4. Click the colourful PHOTOED icon to start the program =D ---------------------------------------- Adrielle (retired) / @AmazinAdrielle on Twitter

Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (IN JUDGING) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Because I like to look at entries all together and thought others might like to also...Here they all are. I did not check to see if they met the guidelines, and I suspect there are some that do not, but I will leave that up to the judges. When a choice of colors was posted, I only took the first one, (the cardinal and bluejay were separate entries so I included both.) ---------------------------------------- Pletoo of Sage

Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (WINNERS ANNOUNCED) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote The winners! Dexla's Ladybug (linky) Gillz's Butterfly (linky) Whitenose's Snowdrop (linky) Merethif's Chick (linky) Greylady's Spring Bouquet with card (linky) Pishkirlin's Foliate Head (linky) Agomicc's Sprouting Bean (linky) Phillite's Feather Duster (linky) Wannita's Shamrock (linky) Raystingray's Pipes O'Pan (linky) Damayi's Equinox (linky) Congratulations, all! I'll deliver the pirate flags now, and the trinkets as they become available in the game. Note that the arrrtists may make tweaks to your designs before they go in - particularly in terms of color choice (e.g. one color choice instead of two, or recoloring a part that you didn't mark to be recolored). They will also make the final decision on trinket names. I don't know yet whether these will be available for a whole "season" or only for particular dates. We'll wait and see! The judges also commented that there were several really good designs that got cut out at the last stage of judging, so you're encouraged to re-enter designs next year if you want to! Great work. :D

Re: Create Seasonal Spring Trinkets for the game! (WINNERS ANNOUNCED) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Thanks and congratulations to the winners and to the other participants too.

I had a great time watching all the entries and I'm looking forward summer edition :-D As always I'm a bit sad not seeing some of my favorites, but I'm also glad to see my other favorites ;-) Anyway if all winning entries will be introduced in game (and I understand this is the case) there's going to be lot of new trinkets to enjoy sometime soon. ---------------------------------------- Merethif of Viridian Ocean Novice/Able at Poker and proud of it!
