Well, if the picture's good enough to be sitting at the top of the page for years, it should at least match up to pictures that hover around the main page for a week. _________________ [i][size=9]Go Yankees![/size][/i] |

I agree, they have to look really great. some people would see the mascot as a representation of the collective ability of the artists here, so maybe a collaboration between the best artists on fac (that are still active, oe that we know the da accounts of) would be the best idea. I mean I se pheral sometimes and think "Wow that abomination falconlobo post her garbage here....." But then I look at all the stuff you guys have done in this thread so far and I'm like woah! there must be talented artists here! I really wish I could contribute more to the matter other then post my thoughts, but sadly I'm not much of an artist, as you all saw before lol. _________________ Day's of Our E-Lives.

Solaris!!! Your sudden boost of good grammar gives me inspiration! 8D <3

Ahhh I get what you guys mean! So...interesting pose, thorough details, engaging colors..etc. P; I usually put a lot of work in my backgrounds, but since these mascots don't need big backgrounds, I'll work with what I have.

[quote="Battou"]... it is our official position (as decided by two of the sites three administrative bodies) to keep Pheral as a cat. The possible revamp and incorporation of Sam is not out of the question but Pheral is the sites official and primary mascot.

Why does Sam look like a Japanese highschool kid? Look up OS-tans, they are probably more suited. _________________ [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Brianhjh/emesprani151.gif[/img] "Sarah's future makes me sad." - Benk |

I did look them up actually, and I drew my own version of FAC's tan. However, it isn't feature quality, so I will try again. >;/
Have you tried a design yourself? You're a suitable artist to make the mascot too. _________________ [size=10]“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” ~Theodore Roosevelt [/size] |

This one is well drawn, and I like the artists palette as a nice element in it. And the use of the 3 parimary colors is nice (tho that may be too colorful for part of a website layout, not sure).
But I don't really like the fusion of them both into a single character. _________________ You will obey or molten silver will be poured into your ears. |

Thank you for the constructive critic, however I tried to bring some life with the colors, because only "blue and black" look boring and pretty dead to me. Art is used to be colorful in my opinion...About the fusion...I am sorry to hear that you don't like it, I gave my best to do so, I tried to express my idea like everyone else did but since you don't like it, I wish good luck to the others, hope they'll do better.

I don't mean to sound bitter, cold or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out. |

Looking at some of the designs posted here, I can say we have some likely candidates.
I definitely think we should stick with a human character, at least as the "main" mascot. The mascot can always have a "pet cat" with them for detail.
The OS-Tan designs are looking great. Personally I loved the pallet/pencil design that Gety used. Maybe some more variations with artistic utensils?
On a side-ish note, we should probably consider using multiple variations of our final mascot/logo design. Something like variations of both drawing style and character setting (generally outfit and features, but applies to artistic era as well) would be nice to see.
With multiple designs we can attempt to appeal to more people. |
