ARTISTS IN THE CB FANDOM

Welcome to the bunker!

It's the end of the world, discord bots have Infiltrated every corner of technology, and now? They're turning on us. They've Infiltrated everything from banks to nukes, but one server from over 15 countries somehow got together- In three bunkers.

The CB fan server!

Now, it's your turn to make the art to save our spirits! Teams of each bunker will win different prizes, but only one will survive. Here's how the contest works!

1. You join the back up server we have going in the meantime, because yes, the CB fan server actually got hacked by bots and I'm trying to keep moral up

2. You go to "Sign Up" channel under Bunker Contest! and say something along the lines of, "I want to sign up." (DM me instead if you want to be a judge, I'm @notaluma)

3. I assign you all to three random teams, and every team gets assigned a private chat on the server, and a magma

4. Each team will be secretly assigned an opposing one, and each member assigned a secret opposing member of that team to draw! You cannot share with anyone but your team who your drawing, which means you don't know who's drawing you!

If you want yourself IRL to be drawn, there will be a channel to post pictures of yourself for whoever is drawing you. Otherwise, it will just be profile pictures.

Your own drawings of yourself work too, but people are welcome to do their own styles

5. Each team will receive a blank bunker background on magma, you will then plan out together where each drawing will go, and what they'll be doing. Example: "I want Maneater313 to be eating chips with ShakeItOnBabe in this spot."

6. You draw your person, onto the canvas as discussed.

7. Judging! Your team's final drawings will be ranked by each judge on a scale of one to five in three categories:

1. Fun-ness to look at and experience

2. Teamwork and Creative Flow/Cohesion

3. Creativity

8. I tell each team that died how they did. (Non-Graphic, pretty much all jokes)

All three teams will get a prize! For example, one of them is a fanfiction of at least 1.5k words by Me, about any team you want, yours or otherwise, down in the bunker or escaping. It can be fluff, angst, soul crushing horror, literally anything except smut, I have to write it. You can make anything happen it it too. It will be posted on Ao3 if your team wants!

Everyone has until 12:30 AM EST August 13th to join into the contest! Then we start!

Judges are still needed too :)

I hope to see you there, and good luck surviving the apocalypse!

Magma event details!

Please check the rules below if you plan on joining our events!

A few words about Magma for newcomers:

Magma is a free browser based art program where participants can collaborate and draw on the same canvas at the same time! Magma works on both PC and mobile devices! Magma has most useful art program tools! But some are a little difficult to find, like layer opacity lock. You can export the images as PNGs and PSDs so you can save and keep all your layers etc.!

Hosting a session is easy! Set up a new canvas and share the link and that's it, you can start drawing. You can do public sessions like mine, or private sessions just with your close group. Update!! Previously you were able to use Magma anonymously without making an account, but this option does not exist anymore.

Our Magma event rules

Have fun! These events are meant to get you inspired, get to know other artists and create awesome art and ideas together!

Everyone is welcome to join my sessions! Doesn't matter where or when you join. You don't need to draw anything there, you can also just come and chat with us and watch others do their magic! Lurking is totally fine too!

Avoid drawing too big! Make sure to leave enough space for other people's drawings! Mind that there are 40-80 people partaking in these weekend events! (Max. 1/6th of the canvas per drawing is ideal!) We recommend to zoom in at 100-150% before you start drawing to avoid this. However! If you have an idea that others can contribute to, I'd be excited to hear it!! Those are highly appreciated!

Avoid drawing over the canvas frames!This is for possible future use in i.e. collages & personal aesthetics. They are there for a reason.

Keep it PG!

You are allowed to paste reference images in the session to use as a base etc.! Please remove them when you don't need them anymore and make sure not to cover areas where others are currently drawing!

When you are finished with your piece, please flatten your layers! The Magma total layer limit is 60 layers per canvas and it gets full rather fast. We have set a 8 layer limit per user/canvas. (If you have used layer effects in your piece, start flattening from bottom to top so they get preserved correctly!)

If you want to post/share Magma art that features other artists' works, you must ask for their permission first! This is very important!! Simple blur/solid color to hide them is ok, otherwise editing other people's art is not!

If you need more time to finish your piece, please let me know as soon as possible! If you know you aren't going to finish yours, please release the space for others to use!

Don't hesitate to ask anything! We are very happy to help out make the most of your session! Our regulars are all friendly and helpful, and my co-admin and mods are able to assist with i.e. getting your layers back!

Other tips!

Some users have experienced disasters losing layers for good by pressing CTRL + X, we recommend avoiding that for now!

Save regularly! Magma is a server based program so it's not as stable as your usual art programs, and also when the program refreshes you might lose some of your progress. Better saved than sorry! You can export the whole canvas as PNG, JPG & PSD!

You can have up to two Magma sessions open in your browser at once!

If you log out of the session you might lose rights to your layers. Please ask either the admin or approved users to give your layers back to you!

If Magma is going slow for you, it may be fixed by turning off the graphics accelerator. Go to Edit > Settings > Turn off Graphics Accelerator.

Merge layers with layer effects starting from bottom to top! For some reason Magma messes them up easily otherwise and the results will not look like you want.

Magma has a text chat we love to hang out in, it's of course optional but we would be happy to have you there!

You can send private messages to others by being on the same canvas with the receiver and clicking their icon!

Magma also has a voice call option. We prefer not to use it, but it's easy to misclick the button! Don't be alarmed!

We're continually figuring out new features and bugs in each session, I want to note down all of them to make the sessions as smooth and fun for you as possible! Let us know if you have any issues!

Also something notable: it's always well appreciated if you draw official Pokémon characters! Most of my followers are into submas or Pokémon in general so as the host I'd like to offer content most would enjoy! Some events welcome OCs but the free doodle session will always stay open for your characters!

After everyone is done I start post-processing the images. It may take a while until they are ready to be posted, please be patient! I will post the art on both my Twitter and Tumblr. You can use #jun's magma events for tagging your posts!

See you in our next event!! All aboard! <3

Endless Summer 3 Diamond Scene: Receive the Endless’s Memories

A brilliant flash heralds the beginning of a vision. You find yourself in deep woods. From nearby, you hear laughter and splashing. You follow the sound, pushing aside foliage… 

Sean: No way! That was totally out! Quinn: If it hits the water, it counts! Your friends are playing volleyball in The Celestial pool, sending a colourful beach ball back and forth over the net. And among them, you see… You: Yes! That’s another point! You stagger, dazed at the sight. Looking down at your hands, you see that one is gloved in red, and the other is skeletal steel. The Endless: I’m… the Endless. Your heart is racing, but the sight of your friends laughing and playing somehow puts you at ease. The Endless: I don’t remember this. It must be from another timeline. 

Just then, Sean spikes the beach ball too hard, and it bounces over to the edge of the jungle, nearly at your feet. Sean: My bad. I’ll get it. 

Sean jogs over, a smile on his face. As he picks up the ball, he sees you among the trees. Sean: Who are you? The Endless: Sean. It’s me. Sean: …[Name]? You take a step toward him… but as you do, reality shimmers and ripples… 

Suddenly, you’re standing on a snowswept mountainside. The Endless: Huh? Where did-- A bellowing roar shakes the pine trees! Nearby, you see yourself and Grace skiing down the slope, with Furball perched on your shoulder! Furball: Mreep! You: Come on! She’s gaining! Grace: Oh god, oh god! The Yeti bursts through the treeline, thundering after them! Yeti: RAAAAUUGGHHH! 

Next, you’re watching Michelle barely keeping balance as she tiptoes across a narrow catwalk. Michelle: Almost… there… With a groan, the metal platform bends toward the blazing magma! Michelle: Ahhhh! The Endless: Michelle! Fiddler: I’ve got you! Out of nowhere, Fiddler dives toward Michelle, tackling her to safety. Michelle: Jeanine… you saved me! Fiddler: Yeah, well, we’re even now. So don’t expect it to happen again. 

Uqzhaal: It is a joyous day, brothers and sisters. We finally have a new Clockmaker! Uqzhaal kneels in front of the chair at the center of the workshop. A dozen Anachronists follow suit. Uqzhaal: We are yours to command, Zahra. Zahra: Dope. 

Clang! Fencing sabers clash as Rourke and Aleister square off at the edge of a burning building. Rourke: Not bad at all! Perhaps I underestimated you. Aleister: Your observations regarding me have been summarily wrong, Father… Aleister: But I’ll afford you no time to regret your errors! En garde! 

At the base of Elyys’tel’s mighty tree, a battle rages. Arachnid soldiers struggle to defend the city from a horde of Vaanti. Ximaedra: To me, warriors! Let us slay the Hydra and Spider and reclaim our home! The Omega Mech strides across the beach, charging its weapons. Estela glares out from the cockpit. Estela: Let’s do this… 

High above the fray, Tetra tosses Rourke’s lifeless body from the branches. Tetra: … He strides back toward the audience hall. 

Tetra: They’re getting close, boss. A cigar smolders, lighting the face of the man on the throne. Lundgren: Let ‘em come. Lundgren: And when they do, we’ll burn this damned tree to the ground with them inside it. 

You see your friends in Rourke’s cloning lab. Strapped to the surgical table in steel restraints is… Gurgi: Help! You must help Gurgi! Raj: Come on, there’s gotta be a way to-- Iris: I’m sorry, Raj. I can’t let you do that. Raj: Whoa! Who the hell are you? The Endless: This must be a timeline where we never found Iris. 

Quinn: Taari, where’d you get that necklace? The Vaani child shows off the golden key hanging from his neck. Taari: I found it! Do you like it? Quinn kneels down to get a closer look… and sees a rune shaped like a dolphin engraved into the side. 

Lila: I hate to tamper with private property… but I have a job to do. Lila sets the trail of gasoline alight, and soon the fire engulfs Jake’s plane. Lila: There. That should keep them from leaving. 

Estela: Come on… where is it?! In a ballroom, Estela flips open a pocket knife and slashes the painting of a sailboat, reaching behind the canvas. Estela: Found you. She takes out a folded note and reads it. Estela: This handwriting. It’s… Note: L, There’s a second Omega Specimen. Whatever it takes, we have to make sure Rourke doesn’t get his hands on her/him. - O Clipped to the note is a photo of you. Estela: He won’t, Mom. I promise. 

A rusty taco truck rumbles down ruined jungle roads with Jake at the wheel! Jake: I’ve got it… I’ve got it! Mike: You’re gonna get us killed! Again! Jake: We’ll be fine. Ain’t that right, Sebastian? King Crab: Shk-snk! 

You: Hold on. You’re telling me that-- Aleister: For the love of… [Name], we’ve discussed this protractedly. I’m Aleister. You: And you’re-- Michelle: Michelle. Can you please just get us out of this nightmare?! Grace: What surprises me most is that Rourke literally labelled this machine ‘Freaky Friday Device.’ Aleister: It’s his favourite movie. 

Raj: Uh, guys… Raj: Why is Furball purple?! Furball: Mrrp? 

Sean: How did he even get up there? Diego: Is he gonna be okay? Yvonne: Ugh, just like Malatesta… The fool never understand when it’s time to let go! You watch as Cetus breaches the sea’s surface again… with Malatesta somehow riding atop his head! Malatesta: Will one of you bloody fools do something?! Cetus: HRRRAAAAK! 

A figure levitates over the cracking ice, blazing with time energy. Tetra: Run! That freak’s gonna kill us all! Craig: Chyeah-heh-heh boi! 

Lundgren: I knew you’d come around eventually. Lundgren: Welcome back… Wolf. Wolf: What can I do for you, Commander? 

Aleister walks in, carrying Grace’s body. Aleister: This is your fault… Quinn: Aleister, I’m so sorry… it was an accident. Diego: Poor Grace. Aleister: His blood is on all of you, and now your own will be too! Aleister sets down Grace’s body and draws a snake-hilted knife. 

Varyyn sits alone on the shore, weeping as he cradles a fluorescent-coloured seashell to his ear. Varyyn: … A voice echoes faintly in the shell, a voice from long ago. Diego: I’ll always love you, Varyyn… I’ll always love you, Varyyn… I’ll always love… Soon, the echo is gone forever. 

Craig dangles over the side of a sheer cliff, hanging on to Sean’s hand. Sean: I’ve got you! I can pull you up! Craig: Bro… I’ll just pull you over with me. Sean: Craig, no! Craig: Face it, Sean. I’ve been dragging you down my whole life. I’m done. Craig releases his grasp and plummets hundreds of feet to the ground. Sean: NOOOOOO! 

Rourke cuts a thick slice of juicy steak and twirls it on his fork. Rourke: I must say, it’s lovely to finally have a family dinner together. Across the table, Estela sits perfectly still her eyes blank. At her temple, an electric device pulses with light. Rourke: Wouldn’t you agree, my dear? Estela: Yes, Father.

Taari runs up and hugs Aleister around the legs. Taari: I love you, Uncle Al! Aleister: I, er-- Aleister: I love you too, Taari. 

An arcade machine flashes ‘High Score’ while Craig hosts Diego onto his shoulders and carries him around! Craig: Ha ha! My boy Diego just crushed the all-time leaderboard! Zahra: Aw, yes. Billy Mitchell who? Diego: Couldn’t have done it without you guys! 

Grace sniffs, and a tear rolls down her cheek. Michelle, sitting by her side, wipes it away. Michelle: I don’t think you’re timid at all. In fact, you’re probably the bravest person I’ve ever met. Grace: Sniff… Really? Michelle: Really. 

Jake pulls the slide on a pistol. Jake: You seriously think I’d let you go it alone? I told you. I’ve got your back for life. Sean: I know, Jake. And you know I’ve got yours. Sean and Jake embrace, clapping each other. Jake: But if you tell anybody I said that, I’ll kill you myself. 

You watch yourself raise a glass, surrounded by your friends. You: So this toast… is to all of you. You: You’re like family to me, and more than that, you’re the best family I could ever hope for. 

-If you’re married to Sean

Michelle walks barefoot on the beach, her fingers laced with Craig’s. Michelle: I can’t believe that, all this time, the love of my life was right in front of me. Craig: That’s where I’ll always be, Meech. They kiss, framed by the sunset. 

-If you’re not married to Sean

Sean lifts Michelle in his arms and spins her around. Sean: I can’t believe I ever let you slip away. Michelle: I can’t believe I ever watched you go. Sean: Never again. I’m yours, Michelle. And you’re mine. They kiss, framed by the sunset. 

-If you’re not married to Jake

Jake suns himself on the deck of the Dorado. Suddenly, a shadow blocks the light. Jake lifts his sunglasses to look. Jake: I was wondering where you’d been. Yvonne: You missed me, chere? Jake: Always. Yvonne straddles Jake, leaning down to kiss him. 

-If you’re married to Estela

Lila: I didn’t realise it until now. But you’re everything I wanted your father to be. Aleister: Lila… what are you saying? Lila: I’m saying… I’m saying… In an instant, she collapses into Aleister, her lips pressed to his. Aleister freezes in shock. Then, gradually, he lets his eyes close and his arms wrap around her. 

-If you’re not married to Estela

Estela sits up in bed, her mind racing. Estela: … She starts to get up, when a hand takes hers and pulls her back. Zahra: Where do you think you’re going? Estela: Just… got stuff on my mind. Zahra: Then talk to me about it. I’m here for you. Estela: I know. Estela falls back into bed, holding Zahra in her arms. 

-If you’re not married to Quinn

Quinn: Like this? Quinn frets a chord on Kele’s guitar. Kele: You’re a natural. Kele: So what makes you wanna learn guitar anyway? Quinn: Well, because… I want to write a song for you! Kele smiles and leans toward Quinn. Their lips meet. 

And then, amid the chaos and the possibility, the million different choices… one moment happens over and over…

-If you’re not married to anyone

Diego: I love being your best friend… I never want to lose you.

Diego: I love being your best friend… I never want to lose you.

Diego: I love being your best friend… I never want to lose you. You: You’re not going to lose me, Diego. That’s a promise.

Tears fill your eyes as, in the space of a single moment, you watch yourself befriend Diego a thousand times.

-If you’re married to Estela

Estela: I, uh… I love you.

Estela: I, uh… I love you.

Estela: I, uh… I love you.

Estela: I, uh… I love you.

Estela: I, uh… I love you. You: And I love you, Estela.

Tears fill your eyes as, in the space of a single moment, you watch yourself fall in love with Estela a thousand times.

-If you’re married to Sean

Sean: I am always gonna love you.

Sean: I am always gonna love you.

Sean: I am always gonna love you.

Sean: I am always gonna love you.

Sean: …I am always gonna love you. You: And I’m always going to love you, Sean.

Tears fill your eyes as, in the space of a single moment, you watch yourself fall in love with Sean a thousand times.

-If you’re married to Jake

Jake: I love you, [Name].

Jake: I love you, [Name].

Jake: I love you, [Name].

Jake: I love you, [Name].

Jake: …I love you, [Name]. You: And I love you, Jake.

Tears fill your eyes as, in the space of a single moment, you watch yourself fall in love with Jake a thousand times.

-If you’re married to Quinn

Quinn: I think I love you, [Name].

Quinn: I think I love you, [Name].

Quinn: I think I love you, [Name].

Quinn: I think I love you, [Name].

Quinn: …I think I love you, [Name]. You: I know I love you, Quinn.

Tears fill your eyes as, in the space of a single moment, you watch yourself fall in love with Quinn a thousand times.

The light fades. You’re back in the cavern with the Endless’s hand on your forehead. You feel yourself sobbing. The Endless: Are you… sad? You: No… I’ve just… I’ve never been so happy. The Endless: You’ve seen everything now, [Name]. You know everything you can know… but this is where my sight ends. You nod, wiping away the tears. You: I know what I have to do.

TEAM DIGITAL ART CONTEST - ARTISTS OF THE APOCALYPSE

This challenge is here to connect artists and grow our art skills! In the future, it may change to OC’s as an option as well as yourselves or profile pictures!

Every time we do this, there will be a new theme! This contest will most likely be held every year to six months, depending on how this one goes!

This contest started local to a fandom for a Webtoon called Cinderella Boy, but now it’s open to all artists across the internet. The top three teams of 15 people or less will receive one of three creative projects as prizes.

1st Place 🥇 : A choice of either: A SHORT comic about any of the teams survival/team member’s OC’s survival in this apocalypse (Maximum 25 Panels, the team can write the script or I can) OR a longer short story about any team’s members in this apocalypse. 3k-7k, also written by me

2nd Place 🥈: Choice of either: 1. Short story of any team surviving the apocalypse, (1.5k to 2.5k words) OR 2. Low detail art of five OC’s/Characters/People on any team, colored (Waist Up) OR 3. SHORT mini comic! (Maximum 10 panels, script can be me or the team)

3rd Place 🥉: 10 Characters/People/OC’s drawn bust up, colored

Here's how it works after you join the server:

Welcome to the bunker!

It's the end of the world, discord bots have Infiltrated every corner of technology, and now? They're turning on us. They've Infiltrated everything from banks to nukes, but users from all different situations across the world somehow got together- In three bunkers.

Now, it's your turn to make the art to save our spirits! Teams of each bunker will win different prizes, but only one will survive. Here's how the contest works!

1. You go to "Sign Up" channel under "Bunker Contest! and say something along the lines of, "I want to sign up." (DM me instead if you want to be a judge I'm @notaluma)

2. I assign you all to three random teams, and every team gets assigned a private chat on the server, and a magma

3. Each team will be secretly assigned an opposing one, and each member assigned a secret opposing member of that team to draw! You cannot share with anyone but your team who your drawing, which means you don't know who's drawing you!

If you want yourself IRL to be drawn, there will be a channel to post pictures of yourself for whoever is drawing you. Otherwise, it will just be profile pictures.

Your own drawings of yourself works too, but people are welcome to do their own styles

4. Each team will receive a blank bunker background on magma, you will then plan out together where each drawing will go, and what they'll be doing. Example:

"I want Maneater313 to be eating chips with ShakeltOnBabe in this spot."

5. You draw your person, onto the canvas as discussed.

6. Judging! Your team's final drawings will be ranked by each judge on a scale of one to five in three categories:

1. Fun-ness to look at and experience

2. Teamwork and Creative Flow/Cohesion

3. Creativity

7. I tell each team that died how they did. (Non-Graphic, pretty much all jokes)

Everyone has about three more hours to set up, good luck!
