We just had the October contest with many gory entries, so I'm a bit confused. Cartoon animals falling from cliffs or getting run over by cars or the like are such an old trope that I didn't think this could cause controversy.

Why? Is that to dark of a topic?

Suicidal butterfly.

I got the feeling that the train tracks background is massively underused. So I was thinking about what could happen on such a place.
Suicidal cow.

To get a quick idea how a certain concept might look like, I often create a collage of objects that already exist or that I can easily modify. Technically, even my complete pictures are collages, only more elaborate ones.
In any case, this is a first visualisation of what Captain Tanada might look like sitting in his office when he is not needed on the bridge.
But keep in mind this is still work in progress.

I'm currently working on the looks of a new character. This is a draft of Captain Tanada.

Maybe Muppets Babies?

That really looks great!

Markupedia I don't think it would be feasable for Janina to substitute pictures all the time. Apart from that, a later addition wouldn't profit as there's less time for people to vote for it.

For a start, it doesn't look bad. Her upper head seems to be a bit larger, maybe her intellect gets underestimated. Her arms and legs never were that rubberhosey, maybe she even lost some weight since her golden days?

How could anyone mistrust her?
Chuckie was another favorite of mine. He always was so considerate.

I always liked Angelica. Without her it would have been boring.

So it will be OC-tober!

I think the entries such as Chaplin/Einstein shouldn't be allowed, because let's be real, neither is attached to the 1800's, Chaplin in particular. I don't think it's being picky, both are known specifically for what they did in the 1900's, they don't belong in this contest.
I probably would also be more strict, but when the majority of submissions got disqualified that could at some point demotivate people to participate at all. We already have the jury as an additional quality control. Such borderline cases probably won't make it far, anyway.
And I continue to be annoyed with the people who can't follow the very clear and simple contest rules that have been laid out. 74 is nearly half the entries. How hard is it to follow the rules?
I wonder, if the people who took more liberties were at least more creative. Otherwise I can see no point.
Maybe some people just don't do the research. When you're young, Chaplin or Einstein might be historical figures like many others. But then again, one cannot assume that everything from the past took place exactly in the 1800's. Where there submissions of dinosaurs or the like, Janina ?
A quote attributed to Einstein just comes to my mind about the dimensions of the universe and the human intellect. There could be some truth to it.

Janina At closer inspection, you asked about opinions where to put this new feature. Maybe there were just no strong feelings about the exact place?
-
But to be honest... the reactions to the search bar idea were nearly non existent.
You didn't ask for opinions but rather announced the implementation. I guess, people where waiting to see the final result before giving feedback. I actually found the idea interesting but then forgot about it.

It looked hand-drawn. What app did you use?
-
Any progress with your character?
-
... 23 were no SP-Studio pictures ...
Did they draw something or upload photos of themselves? It's strange that some people don't seem to understand basic contest rules.

Quite good! Maybe one could move Ariel a bit off-centre to make the picture more interesting and use the Oscar statue and the menorah for the statue and the candelabra on the sideboard.
