Writers/Artists Emote Collab!

Think like a custom emoji. It's used on apps like discord/slack/facebook (stickers) to express a character or emotion not already represented in the standard emoticon set.

oh ok. how would it be done though? can you give more details about it?

Harmony-S-S 2018-01-25 18:58:23 UTC #5

Sounds like fun! I'm gonna try it!

gwizdala 2018-01-25 21:58:23 UTC #6

How it would be done is really up to the paired artist and writer. Do you want a bunch of emotes? Draw a character from the writer's stories? Make one super-detsiled creation that bends the laws of time and space? Your call.

I'd love to see the results after, either emailed to me or posted here. If you think I should put some stricter requirements on it though, let me know

when you talk about a writer... is that only novelists?

gwizdala 2018-01-26 01:52:00 UTC #8

Basically pick whichever side you prefer. Main goal was Tapas Novelists paired with Tapas Artists.

Ahaha.. so how do you do the... Thing?

Harmony-S-S 2018-02-03 01:58:04 UTC #12

Woah.......How do you get in touch with the artist you go and tell them? "Hey, we just got paired up for this contest." ?

@dawgofdawgness
Work with your Writer to design a custom emote! They should be square in size, and from the Discord site it is recommended "For optimal emoji resolution, you can upload them in sizes up to 128x128 pixels, but keep in mind that they'll be resized to 32x32. Your emoji list will sort custom emojis by server, so they'll be easy to pick out."
Besides that it's up to you guys!

@Harmony-S-S
Use the chat here on on Discord, message them on Tapas, send up smoke signals, etc! In retrospect it might have been wise to ask for emails, but oh well

Harmony-S-S 2018-02-03 02:45:27 UTC #14

It's okay and , smoke signals!

gwizdala 2018-03-11 23:07:44 UTC #15

The first emotes are in! Thanks @GalacticPotato and @Harmony-S-S for your collaboration!

@dawgofdawgness & @ChristodeBoyet, @Chroma & @Heliox14 - y'all need to step your game up

dawgofdawgness 2018-03-11 23:08:38 UTC #16

oH NO i forgot that this was a thing!!!! Sorry

ChristodeBoyet 2018-03-12 00:00:16 UTC #17

Are you still wanting to do it? If you aren't it's all good.

Harmony-S-S 2018-03-12 00:04:06 UTC #18

Awesome!!!!

dawgofdawgness 2018-03-12 01:22:28 UTC #19

I’m up for it, we’re still using Leeroy right?

ChristodeBoyet 2018-03-12 01:27:25 UTC #20

Heck yeah, I love Leeroy! I also thought of one more, a banana holding a tiny banana holding an even tinier banana, you know bananaception.

dawgofdawgness 2018-03-12 01:32:16 UTC #21

Oh wow I'm definitely into that second idea

Chroma 2018-03-12 02:24:58 UTC #22

Uh oh, Spaghetti o's I need to get started on this!
