An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

certain artists sure do win every festival

I really thought they'd sit this one out because they were running that gem contest meant to encourage beginner artists, but somehow a slapped-together accent within hours of the Auraboa release won over all of the unique entries this contest. Really disappointing and discouraging behavior.

Re: Rockbreaker's

i bet it wasn't done on purpose but it looks so calculated.
encourage hundreds of people to make an accent for rockbreakers over the last months. wait yourself until the new breed gets released. immediately slap together something for it. grab up the "new breed prestige bonus" or whatever you'd call that while all the other people made accents for older breeds that are less likely to be picked than the new one.

Y'all spend way too much time stressing over these people entering this contest

When The World Was New is driving me crazy with the strong dark outlines, the hole in the middle and the bad light cutout around the head.
It goes into the inner crest on the right side, but stays outside on the left side.

Re: Rockbreaker's

DA what drives me nuts is that the staff favorites get away with stuff in their skins that would never be allowed for the rest of us lmao. i have gotten so many rejections for having lines that dark.

Re: Rockbreaker's

usually 888’s entries slap but what is this….. it’s so rushed and flat

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

lol they encouraged 300 people to make entries this month i think they deserve a win. stay mad

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe two new people of those 300 could have won instead, then.

Re: Rockbreaker's

29 pages of entries, many of which were absolutely gorgeous, and staff still picked their favorite contestants. Nice way to discourage people from submitting in the future.

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

I can't BELIEVE staff had double the submissions to choose from this fest, compared to the other fests this year, and still. There they are again.

The two new skin slots were not enough.

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

honestly can we just shut the fuck up about 888 and mythicalviper winning? every single fest this comes up like...why are we still surprised it is so old and so annoying to see every time. it's not going to change anything. if it really bothers you send in a ticket to staff about it. it's not either of their faults for it- staff likes their shit and they shouldn't have to sit out anything just because you're mad you or someone else didn't win.

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

what the fuck is your damage.
honestly, there's some insane dog in the manger behavior in this thread and it's really disappointing to see.

[deep breath]

ok. trying to put a more productive spin on the replies here:
Seemingly a lot of people feel like skin contests should be run like scholarships (i.e. taking into account not just talent but also a sense of being "disadvantaged"). While a program like that would be very cool, it's not what a contest is. I don't think it's appropriate, fair, or considerate to hold "the contest is run as a contest, not a scholarship" against the artists who win, much less suggest there's some kind of pepe silva-ass conspiracy between them and the staff.

888 and MV clearly enjoy making contest entries, and that's wonderful! Both of them would make far more profit just printing their entries through their shops. It is completely boggling to me that people aren't happy that they continue to want to share their work this way, meaning it's possible to get your hands on their UMA art for 35kt instead of a cool 850g.

Re: Rockbreaker's

do you guys think staff look at the thread when picking entries or do they pull all the images for judging with names hidden? genuine question here. because we might be ragging on an issue staff has never 'fixed' because there's nothing to fix, since they're not looking for certain names when picking winners

Re: Rockbreaker's

Apparel A+++

Rockbreakers gene? ABSOLUTETLY FUCKING AWESOME

finally earth does not get a giant L for their festival, the gene is just perfect

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

love the new gene, really loving the apparel

wtf is going on with the skins and accents. ugh

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

Overall I like most of the skins and will need to collect almost all of them. LOVE the apparel and the gene.

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

I think that might be the cutest snake yet.

I like two of the skins, not sure about the gene or apparel yet.

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

and people say popular artists don't have an advantage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Rockbreaker's

Earthie here and didn't partake in the accent/gene contest as I am shockingly bad at art.

None the less, I loved every single entry of the contest and the official one. But I am very sad and disappointed in the chosen winners.

Personally they are horrid, I can't be nice about it-- I am sorry to any artists who's feeling I may hurt, but they are not great at all.

I can't bring myself to even brew any and I have brewed every single fest skin since I started.

The apparel is amazing though and the snek is a cutie, so there is that. But as an accent/skin collector, I am saving my treasure.

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

You "loved every single entry of the contest and the official one," but you think the winners are "horrid." That makes no sense.

Anyway, I don't follow the contests, so I don't know what lost, but to my eyes there are some very nice winners.

Re: Rockbreaker's

[(Anonymous)]

the new tertiary is the best elemental one yet! :D
i wanted to stop buying all the accents that get released every fest, but i love the winners so much, guess i gotta go gather some coinage, LOL.
the big apparel is awesome too. i had forgotten that the festival was even starting, and i'm so, so happy with what we got.
(don't worry y'all, i'm often a hater too. such is the duality of man)

Re: Rockbreaker's

...well, I like the skins and accents
