This has turned out to be unfortunate timing for me. This weekend has been very hectic. I applied a few pixels but then had other stuff to do for several hours. And not I need to log on again. I'll try to contribute a bit in maintenance today.
All good, thanks anyway!
got a suggestion from someone on the discord on making things look better, i'm shit at art so honestly am not sure what i'm looking at but if anyone wants to start on that go ahead
What they suggest is what it looked like when I thought you had changed the template. e.g the right half of the badge was all dark red, lettering was all white with random pink and brown removed.
I think it's cuz you were on source instead of one-to-one maybe. I honestly just stole it off pinterest like previous years. No gripes with changing it, but tbh i do think a bit of shading with the pink does look a bit neat. I also changed up the A a bit so it actually looks more like an A.
(tbh, i think it works as is, but apparently other people disagree and i suck at art. i'm not gonna force the issue, though)
I'm a visual learner, so I'd have to see what the suggestion was to understand what would need changing.
I take peoples point, especially zoomed in. I think zoomed out it looks better. I'm also fairly shit at art, at least in this context, outside of random doodling when I'm bored or distracted...
nevermind, someone's making the same boring old juvenile joke that they did last year. can someone help with the text?
i think i scared them off, nvm
sent a post over to c/LiverpoolFC to see if they wanted to do something for Jota. We'll see if anyone's actually active over there, lol.
just so I have a link to make a template, but does this look good? @[email protected] @[email protected]
I think so? It's more so the size for me. It's tiny on my screen
Where should we put it?
Here-ish?
I don't think it'll fit, I tried, and also I think that's the rocket league logo down there that's finally being made. I put a Y up top, we can just kinda write along it I think, see how much we can fit in.
Oooohh!!! I couldn't figure out what that was supposed to be...
Took me a second, too XD
Should be make the Jota slightly larger and the rest the same size?
shall we just put 20 underneath that?
Yeah was thinking something similar. Also, What do you think of putting a light red shadow underneath?
looks good to me!
Sure, if we can fit it
LFC fan here hanging out for the Preston friendly in a few hours. Saw the post in the main Canvas thread about the Jota tribute and came to offer any help I could, but it looks like it's already done! Great work, everyone.
i'm gonna be honest, we're not fitting anything bigger. It's small cuz it's pixel art. I'm struggling to find space as is, lol.
Maybe we just go with "YNWA RIP JOTA" on the opposite side of the Loss next to our badge? I'm gonna start with that.
It was more so that it was really small on Lemmy, so I couldn't really see it
(I realise it's kinda really hard to read on a dark background, sorry lol)
cannon is done~
Should be able to finish it, but the main parts are done at least.
I reached out to eatham who was making Bluey and the Aussie flag to ask if they had a plan for the bottom right corner next to Bluey. They also seemed to change what their design was due to taking up other people's canvas space, so I asked if they wanted us to keep the southern cross star.
Looks to me that the Southern X is losing out. We should finish the canon.
They did ask us to leave it, but also admitted that they didn't think they would get much done. Their design looks to be quite big and ambitious if they were going through with it. Not to mention it encapsulates a lot of other communities areas/designs.
We can leave it for now and got over it once everything else is done?
“Tell him he’s dreaming”. I just looked on the Australia community and there’s little to no discussion about it. I’m Australian, and I think our flag sucks! COYG.
Also Aussie and also vastly unimpressed by how dated the flag is and unrepresentative of our modern nation.
Change the anthem as well while we're at it. Bit dull... girt by sea? It's like they couldn't think of anything else worthwhile to say, lol
LOL. Bluey looks good though.
what would have been funny is if you guys put the aussie flag in with the EU for eurovision lol
Ohh man... I really want to now haha
yeah, let's finish our bit first. I'm honestly a bit surprised how little they've gotten done, tbh.
For what it's worth, if we have time, before wiping out that star, we should probably add something for Jota. Even if it's just like, a small text "rip jota". Especially given we seem to be the only football presence on here other than the MLP football.
I'd also like to do something for Jota. I know he wasn't an Arsenal player, but I think it would be nice. Maybe something to do with the number 20 as well?
I think everyone in football got hit hard by the Jota news. It still doesn't feel real, ngl. I sent a post over to c/LiverpoolFC, but not sure if anyone'll respond. If they don't, I was thinking a "YNWA RIP JOTA FOREVER NO. 20" text or something? not sure.
ultimately I want to defer to any scousers if there are any active enough to contribute.
It's a good shout. Maybe something like the below? I have ideas, but I'm not good at visual design. So, maybe simple is best
I think "forever 20" gives off a weird vibe, given he is dead young. I feel like you need the # or No. lol
otherwise it looks fine! just need to actually write it as pixel art lol
