Stickin' in the Sun: Calling All LBP Artists!


It's summertime in Craftworld! The cats are changing out of their pajamas and into their swim trunks. Sackfolk across the vacationverse are catching some waves and listening to their favorite tunes on the beach. For you inspired artists out there looking to get creative this summer, we have a special challenge for you. It's called Stickin' in the Sun. Let's talk about this sticker contest, how you can contribute, and all the fun things in store over the next few weeks!


A July 2022 Sticker Contest


Stickin' in the Sun is a sticker creation contest hosted by the LBP Union. From now until July 23rd, you can submit any number of fun summer-themed stickers of your creation for the event. Here are the juicy details,

  • After the event ends, we will choose 5-10 of the best stickers and include them in an official LBP Union giveaway for the entire community to enjoy! (With credits to you, of course!)

  • Chosen stickers will get featured here on our website with links back to your artist page or social profile.

  • Stickers that are submitted (including non-winners) may have the chance to be used in a future secret project of ours 👀

We can't share details on that secret project just yet, but we've got something special in store for you. (Hint: it's related to Project Lighthouse!)


Special Thanks


This event wouldn't have been possible without an awesome and super talented friend of mine, potato farm! I'll let her take it from here.


Just pretend like this hat didn't glitch my hair into my skull ;-;

Hey y'all, I'm potato farm. I was the event artist for the Spooky Stickers and Holiday Hearts stickers giveaways that we hosted here at the Union! I really wanted to help out with Stickin' in the Sun because of how wonderfully creative the community is, and I wanted you guys a chance to shine...plus I just really want to see someone else's art. I am an artist and an art enjoyer, after all.


Before you go and show me just how bad my own art is, there's a few things you should know.


Content

Listen. Importing into LBP is weird, and if you want your art to be featured and look good, you're going to need to know a few things first. There's a guide below on what you should follow.

Hey y'all! It's potato farm here. First, let's talk about content. The goal is to make summery images to celebrate this wonderful time of the year! Ideas may incldue but are not limited to ice cream, bugs, sun, bikes, plants. Submissions containing nsfw, hate acts, extreme violence, or slander will be discarded and will result in moderation on our Discord server.
Content restrictions

To make things clear, submissions containing the following won't be accepted.

  • Explicit content (NSFW, sex, violence, you know)

  • Hateful messages

  • Slander

  • Political messages

To be eligible, your sticker(s) should be related to summer in some way as well. Some ideas may include, but are not limited to: ice cream, bugs, the sun, bikes, plants, etc.


Please don't only send in these things though. I will be a sad potato of you do, and we don't want a sad potato.


File Settings


File settings. Daunting, but easily fixable if you change them before you get started. These are the setting recommendations that I suggested.

Now that we have that out of the way...file settings! If you want your art imported into the game, there's a few basic things to keep in mind: DPI must be below 150 (the less colors used the better). File sizes must be 12mb or smaller. Send in .png files. We won't be restricting images sizes, but please be mindful
