I want to make a small project where I assemble a cast of Stick Nodes OCs and draw them in pixel art form, like a little showcase with simple poses. I have the base and an example of what I mean as a final project below. (It should be noted that the base wasn’t made by me but all art using the base is original, in no way do I claim this base as my work – however, it is public and deemed free to use.)

I’d love it if all who want to could put a full-body or at least semi-body picture of their character (Up to 2 characters per person) with the name of the OC(s) so I could draw them in. My art skill is not exactly high by any standards, so please have the character be humanoid to fit on the base and not animal-like; I cannot draw them for the life of me. The best option would be armored as that is my specialty.

Of course, there will be SN characters already in there, like obvious popular ones (Ralph, SN default, EB, etc etc), and depending on how many I get submitted here, I may split the project into two separate pieces. Of course, in the case that I get like 2 people putting pictures down, I’ll just draw them lol.

Thank you in advance and if you have any questions I will be glad to answer 🙂
(Sorry if the pictures are low quality, the resolution is a bit underwhelming lol)

Tried doing Pixel Art for the first time in a couple months, thought I might as well get some kind of work out to the site (Lest I’m forgotten)
These are not supposed to be characters of any sort, hardly even original design, as they are all based off of historical warriors and their armors/outfits and represent them in a complete way.
Sorry for any discrepancies in quality.

Give Lemon admin and all our problems will go away
(PS enforce age requirement please)

The Hell is a Sigma?

Well, the title really says it all. Today, we saw a few posts (which is a lot if you think about it) all following the same pattern; see more about that in the collection of posts linked at the bottom of this section, where I included some notable examples with OCs. Other than that, based purely on figure and animation qualities today was relatively slow, but we did get many updates from users, from a warning of a Hurricane to a user sadly losing his mind to Dementia. See more below:

July - Month of Animation?

Besides the obvious insurgencies of banning (Notably the alt linked in the top post), today was a great day for animation, with many users putting forth their work – all of which enjoyable and high-quality. Not only that, but we see more activity in the shape of Minecraft, art, and community projects – see for yourself below:

Little earlier than I usually post this, hopefully that’s not a problem. I would also like to note that I posted this in the wrong group at first so… if you see two logs, just reload the page. Sorry for that.

New Collab, Major Drama, and More

The official video for the Mansions of Mayhem collab was posted today by Squi, but I’m sure that’s not what you’re all here for. A pretty major drama, and by major I mean almost 1/4 of the posts today were at least related to it in some way, did happen, involving a couple users. You can read more about it in the very first linked post. Besides THAT drama, some minor skirmishes/arguments occured, though I did not see how they were important enough to include. For those not involved, this was a very entertaining day, and I hope it can provide some context for what happened.

Final Notes
There is an obvious star of today’s headlines, and personally, I think it’s all really stupid. Much of it could be avoided if some people learned to just stop replying or just to think before typing and pressing enter. That’s all.
My apologies if I got something wrong, I have to admit that looking over today’s activity I was not looking forward to covering it.

Have a good day 🙂
