Guilty Alice! ROUND 14 OVERRR

[Kaze_Senshi]

I was thinking about some simple theme, without using extern references (only touhou) and with a cute factor to attract more artists, something like "Sleepy 2hus"

[DX7.EP]

I was considering food service and/or advertisements as a next theme for some reason. :V

Minor nitpicking here, but going by my and Nicole's tally of the votes I should be tied with Kracko...I take it this pre-voting stage vote isn't being counted in the official tally?

+2 for EP's entry,...

Not that it's a problematic issue, though. I'm fine with him deciding the upcoming theme either way - though next time ties occur, I'd advise tiebreaker votes or some default system to determine the next decision.

fall casual 2hus?

OH! I'm so sorry. I completely forgot about that! Usually I just go to the entry post and tally everything afterward mindlessly.
But! It IS a tie! I'll go fix this right away!!

... By the way, in the case of a tie, winners both just provide a theme, and players can choose to draw either or both combined.


EDIT: Normally, if a player wins twice in a row, he/she has to give up the theme-deciding power to the next best-voted player. That being said, double themes haven't been done yet and it sounds like fun, so you can still choose. It's kind of a hassle to correct stuff twice. :V

[DX7.EP]

All right then, thanks for clarifying. Now to decide on something else that can work, otherwise I'm defaulting to my earlier food/ads idea.

[Delfigamer]

If anyone has any ideas for the next theme, let me now. I don't really have any ideas right now.

Hooroo is a distinctively Australian way of saying ?goodbye?.

How about a week of farewelling touhous? :3

[Vyrien]

Fantastic idea Delfi.

[Delfigamer]

Fantastic idea Delfi.

What is this I don't even... :O

[KrackoCloud]

I forgot to add a deadline for the themes. Let's come up with something by Wed, Sep 18. Tuesday would be more preferable, though.

This is a good way of thinking, actually.
What about a "tragedy" theme? Draw something with feels. It's not cute, but it doesn't need references. It'll be like the "insubordination" round.

... That or I might go for a JJBA theme . It needs to be done at some point.

[DX7.EP]

Interesting ideas; I'm all for the JJBA one when the time comes. :3

Considering that AWA's in 2 weeks and this event is now biweekly..I'm considering more east-west crossovers. Touhous on tourism, maybe?

[Kaze_Senshi]

Wait some months to go for this theme, I didn't watch it yet

[Delfigamer]

Oh I have a so good idea on this theme!
Now I need to stop being lazy and draw it somehow. ._.

[Zil]

I like the tragedy idea.

[KrackoCloud]

Alright then. I'll just stick with that. I'll probably make it broader to include bittersweet feels.

... If someone manages to plausibly combine this with EP's food ad theme (assuming he goes with that), that would be amazing.

[Zil]

Soylant Green is 2hus. ;_;

[DX7.EP]

Soylant Green is 2hus. ;_;

:teaspit:

Okay, theme decided.

[attach=1]
WEEK 13 - 2: CRAFTSMANSHIP
Touhous take to making something for their own use! A new sword for Youmu? Kokoro's new mask? Marisa putting 3 refined for another TF2 hat? Reimu's meager ramen dinner? Anything goes!
Contrary to what the image suggests, it does not need to involve Minecraft.

Of course, it can end in a tragic disaster and thus tie in with Kracko's theme...

[KrackoCloud]

Alright, here we go. Let me just set the record straight one more time.

This round is a double theme round!
1) Craftsmanship: Draw Touhous making stuff. Any stuff, if I'm understanding this correctly!
2) Feels: Draw a scene with feels. Whether it's bittersweet, tragedy, or a tearful reunion, just make sure it's feelsy.

You can do one entry for both themes, but only your highest voted entry will count toward the round.
Or, if you're feeling clever, you can try to combine both themes in one entry. You might get votes for well-executed creativity?

Entry Deadline: Tue, Oct 1

[DX7.EP]

Yeah, anything can be made.

I think having two entries count - one per theme - is perfectly fine; simply specify which work shows which theme. However, votes for that artist can only count for one of his/her works, which is selected per voter.
EDIT Addendum: Final tally...I'd suggest combining results from both works to make the tally per artist.

For example, +2 Saxton (Crafting) / +1 Seija (Feels) would be accepted, but NOT +2 Saxton (Crafting) / +1 Saxton (Feels).

[KrackoCloud]

That works, but does it give too much advantage to people who make two entries over those who just draw one?

Actually, I'll just do this.

You can do one entry for both themes, but only your highest voted entry will count toward the round.

[Arkeden]

Hmmm feels eh? I shall attempt....

Edit: Here is mine for feels, huh... I feel that I ripped off osana reimu all of a sudden OTL
The fact that Koishi looks like Satori disturbs me.
Dem Feels

Edit: I add a small story add the description, please excuse my err lack of grammar and bad storytelling.

edit: here is the story

Short story
__________________________
(Please take note this is supposed to be in the past)

Satori: Koishi?! What happened.
Koishi: Ahahaha...

Koishi walks into the dining room with blood running down her head.

Koishi: I tripped and fell. That's All! :3
Satori: That's very cliche Koishi.
Koishi: Bring out the food! XD
Satori: Koishi, tell me the truth.
Koishi: Who cares about-

Satori immediate interupts Koishi

Satori: I can read your mind you know.

Koishi went silent.

Satori: You tried to make friends with the other underground dwellers again didn't you?
When will you ever learn? We are well hated by them remember?

Koishi never replied.

Satori: And yet you failed again and this is what you get!

Koishi never replied.

Satori:...

Satori sighs.

Satori: Koishi, stop feeling upset about it.
Koishi: I don't feel upset about it at all! （　?∀｀） I'm perfectly okay with it!
Satori: Koishi, you can let it go now, we will attent to your injuries now.
Koishi: Ahaha. I'm okay! More importantly I feel hungry! I want to-

Satori shoved a rice ball towards Koishi's mouth. Koishi went silent and slowly ate the food.
Tears starts to roll down her cheeks.

Satori: There... there...

Satori stroke her younger sister's cheek. The younger sister forced smile and pained expression became obvious.
Koishi was crying.

Koishi: A...Ha...Ha...Sis...

Koishi looked at her sister's hand, wrapped with bandages.

Satori:Yes?
Koishi: The... food taste... nice...

Satori gave a smile.

Satori: Of course it is... I've lost my blood while cooking it, there's no way it could taste bad.

Little dumb submission with halp of Herr Vyrien that might not even be relevant at all.png

[Quukii]

Submitting an entry for the "Feels" category. I've always thought that Yuyuko's past was sad, what with the suicide and all.

Edit: Alright, fixed the picture so that it's right side up.

[HakureiSM]

> Right click
> Rotate clockwise

Guys this ain't hard

[DX7.EP]

But what if the sideways orientation is part of the intended effect? :colonveeplusalpha:

I'll see if I can put up something before I leave for AWA.

[Vyrien]

Might I be a pain in the arse and request a week's extension?

[Delfigamer]

Here's mine. :smokedcheese:

UPD
Hey, what happened with all my gradients?
Should I export my .sai to .jpeg rather than .png?

UPD2
Huh. Apparently, it's just my tablet which for some reason reduced the picture's bitdepth before displaying. Strange.

[KrackoCloud]

Only three entries? Get ready for an extension, guys!
We haven't gotten any Craftsmanship entries to my knowledge. I'm considering cutting it, because even given an extension, there probably won't be enough entries in general to justify the theme. But I won't cut if you guys want it kept.
Either way, I'll have to reconsider how ties are dealt with in the future. It seems double themes are a little too much.

[DX7.EP]

I'm fine with cutting the extra theme out.

...yawn. AWA was too fun, and I didn't draw anything relevant to this during that time. Extension is definitely in order.

[Zil]

We haven't gotten any Craftsmanship entries to my knowledge.

I thought Merp did both themes at once but I could be mistaken.

I tried to draw something last night but only discovered the magnitude of my incompetence. Extension's cool.

[Zork787]

Once I finish my Chibi Flandre wip you can see in my art thread, I'm hoping I can submit it into the "Feel category". I'll try and finish it for tommorrow after college or something
