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.



Big ver. : http://puu.sh/axFCL/50209d7ef6.png

I may draw something else later haha!

(for those who are interested, here is the sketch I did to make this http://puu.sh/axFsL/501ed3b0ee.jpg)

EDIT: Confused Yuzu! :D

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!
Iojioji
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.

Please do separate, individual stickers (in the same forum post). The voting process, if you missed the last couple contests, is a "click on all the pictures that you like" style of voting, so it's unlikely that posting multiple separate entries will hurt your chances of winning, because no voter is forced to choose one image over another one.

I'm not quite sure if some of these are okay. If they're not, then I'll have to remake them.

Happy Pippi

GIMP crashed when I was in the process of making this. I managed to redo everything though.

I don't know if it's qualified. I do hope it is though.

Yesu! Hitcircle

Crazy Don-san
High Res: http://puu.sh/aBN2S/f678ac4c3e.png
I dunno why I made a don entry. I guess just to make entries for each gamemode?

Crazy Mania-san
High Res: http://puu.sh/aBMQA/c8980f3521.png
This one's actually really simple. I'm satisfied with how this turned out.

Surprised? Yuzu
High Res: http://puu.sh/aBN4Y/40447ff062.png
Had a lot of trouble making this. Turned out okay in the end.

osu! Pippi Hide and Seek
High Res: http://puu.sh/aFOaS/10da28e204.png

I've added Don-san and Mania-san! They're very err, a bit crazy though! XD
Oh, and there's also Yuzu.

Yay! I've finally finished them. Some of these may even be considered troll entries because of them being really ugly and random. Troll entries are funny though!

If I get more ideas about what to do, I might make more.

I have some questions...

1st: If I submit something can I edit the post to add images and can I reupload a newer version if I made a mistake for example if i noticed that something isn't colored/doesn't have shadows (happens me like most of the times with only noticing it afterwards) or something like that

2nd: are animated gifs okay?

first is fine. there isn't anything wrong with that as you have until <insert deadline here> to submit final versions and what not. 2nd i don't believe is. still to static images for now :3

I don't get response, so why not trolling

hahakomma1
okay, so no animated sparkles for one of my ideas.

Here is the first one:


I have a bigger one but without the bubble and I don't think this motive isn't the best to print unless you want people to worry about you.

I may upload some more.

EDIT:
Second one:


The size got to small because I drawed very small this time
winber1
First time I actually legitimately full-out tried to draw something on my tablet. Holy shit this is hard, and this took me a really damn long time. I guess it's kinda more complex than a sticker needs to be, but oh well. I didn't think that part of it through :/. And this canvas size I used was much bigger than I thought lmao. I'll just place this here then:
