Hello again! Welcome to the third Official osu! Fanart Contest! We've moved away from the monthly schedule to allow each contest a bit more room to breathe, but the idea is largely the same. Each contest will have a unique theme to keep things fresh. This one's theme?

Stickers! So Many Stickers!



We're using the word "stickers" to give a sense of shape and size, but we're talking digital stickers here, like the ones used on Facebook or Line or other interesting chat programs as large emoticons. Although, if we get enough usable (high resolution or vector, low color count) artwork, we could actually print physical sticker books. Which would be awesome. But the main goal is to have emoticon-like stickers for use in chat and forums, so design for that primarily. Strong, fun emotions, with simple colors, and transparent backgrounds. Once again a full one year supporter tag is up for grabs, and we're offering the added incentive of the osu! tablet, which should come in handy for drawing as well as playing. In addition to the grand prize winners, any sticker that gets used in any official format will win the artist a one-month supporter tag.

Some Rules:
  1. Artwork must fit theme. In this case, it must be an emoticon-like sticker.
  2. Everything in your image must be your own work! Don't steal anyone's art, and please don't "trace" anything either. Make your own pose.
  3. Don't include any copyrighted characters from outside of osu! Including your own original characters alongside osu! characters is fine. Also, I know I only used Pippi examples in the banner, but I hope to see Yuzu and perhaps Pippidon represented this time around.
  4. Images must be G-rated and safe-for-work.
  5. Images must meet the size requirements and have a transparent background.
  6. Deadline for entries is August 30th, 2014.
    Also, I know I only used Pippi examples in the banner, but I hope to see Yuzu and perhaps Pippidon represented this time around.

How to enter:

You must post a web-friendly (370px wide by 320px maximum) image in THIS official contest thread, and link to a much larger print-friendly image (at least 1200x1200, preferably higher, or vector, if possible) for possible merch use. You can upload the images on http://up.ppy.sh/ or http://puush.me/ You may enter more than one image, but you can only win one grand prize, and you MUST include all of your entries in one forum post.

By entering, you agree to let us use your art on the osu! website, social media accounts, and merchandise. We'll hopefully be using many of these entries in various web formats, and if we use your art in an official capacity you'll get a one-month supporter tag.

Only entries that follow all rules will be considered. There will be two grand prize winners for each contest theme: one chosen by public poll, and one chosen by osu! staff. Each winner will get a one-year osu! supporter tag and an osu! tablet.

Let me know if anything needs clarifying, otherwise, post away!

*Special thanks to awp, Cataku, beat_freak, sanilecious, and Vikktor, whose artwork I used in creating this contest banner.

That's an interesting piece of work but it doesn't quite fit the theme; check out this page for a better idea of what we meant by "stickers:" https://creator.line.me/en/guideline/ We're looking for simple, iconic images that convey some kind of mood.

Also, the rules require you to use only your own art, so copied and pasted images from other artists, even of osu! characters, aren't allowed.

I don't mean to call you out personally but I want to give you another chance to make an entry that fits the contest better, and also clarify the rules for anyone else passing through.

Hope that helps

aaaaaaa I was bored today! Drew that with my mouse as I forgot my tablet at university...
It's rather simple but I like it. That'd be so awesome to have osu!stickers on Line, but not sure whether that's possible or not.

As many as you want! Make sure you put them all in one forum post, though.

huehuehuehue who cares about the rules ;w;

Jazz
edit: just to make things clear, you can put the entries as separated images in one post but it still counts as one entry from the contestant?

I'm just worried about how the voting will work if the images are separated but they're all from one contestant
Reileky
Joining. :D (I think ._.)

Good luck to all!

Can I only post the low res one? (I didn't make a high resolution version and if I do I don't think it will look the same :c)

I'll try to draw a high resolution one. I also would like to know if the high res one is absolutely needed.

EDIT: Here are the more polished versions.
