Design a Shopkeeper!
A new design competition is here! Become a part of Subetan history by designing a new NPC for the Beanbag Shop! Long has this shop been devoid of a shopkeeper, and we believe it is finally time to change that - but first we want some user input as to who will take up the reins of the beanbag empire.
From now until 11:59 on July 31st you will have the chance to submit a design for a new beanbag shopkeeper, as well as some short backstory information. Once the submission portion of the competition ends, staff will go through the entries and pick out their 5 favorites which will then be voted on by the users to determine the ultimate winner. The winner will then have their design redrawn by one of the official staff artists, and will receive great glory! But also prizes in the form of 3,000 CSC, as well as a new themed beanbag set that will also stock in the beanbag shop. The four runner ups will receive a 500 Credit Gift Card and one beanbag from the set.
Click here to read the full brief and enter the competition!

Entered :)
well i entered... i've got a lot of love for my submission so i do hope they make it, but knowing how creative everyone here is, well. shrug emoji
For some reason my brain decided that the perfect companion to this contest would be a full list of NPCs with a description of how they look, more or less.
It's WIP (all the ones in the Subetapedia NPC list are filled in), but available at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s1ixbs3HewbN_3VpIiAc12pV4iK3-7wfh70-1vtYsqk/edit?usp=sharing
Anyone can comment, especially if there is inaccurate information or a missing NPC, but only I can actually edit it.

All of my motivation has gone out the window.
I just spent a good deal of time making a backstory, and making a visual representation. Giving him connections to other NPCs and a personality.
...I forgot that the character has to be 18 or older.
scraps everything

hmmmm i really want to enter this and i have a strong concept but i fear my drawing skills just won't shine through even though you say it doesn't have to be a polished drawing :/ i'm giving it a shot, at least.
@Sputnik petition to replace all the shopkeepers with Dan Gruchy in various stages of slo mo :')
I entered but it was hand-drawn and I used a scanning app on my phone but it still looks like a photo, is that a problem?
Double your chances of winning by submitting a Transgender, Transpecies (Otherkin) or Transabled person. Just a heads up
"I didn't know there wasn't a beanbag shopkeeper!" I didn't know there was a beanbag shop......I want to do this though :o
Also...it would have been cool to be able to create a design using the wardrobe. For those of us with -5000 art skills.
I mean, yeah okay it'll be redrawn and you have to have a backstory, which is totally doable for pretty much anyone with basic writing skills, but at the same time, how many people are actually going to vote for an entry with a solid backstory and a crap drawing over someone with a great drawing and a decent backstory? My guess is not a lot.

Do you have a library anywhere near you? They usually have scanners that you can use!
Before I had access to a scanner, I would just take pictures in really good lighting of my drawings. It's not as great but it still works in a pinch!

Oh my, such a fun and intriguing contest! And I have a great idea right away, what is this!??!
Ohh man, I felt such a rush of creativity, regardless of how this all goes, thank you Subeta Team for tickling my muse alive! Good Luck to you all 83 I eagerly await the results of the community's labors.
This sounds like fun... but I probably won't have time to put anything together for this. Too busy over the next two weeks. :(
I never even realized it was lacking a shopkeeper. Shows how much I go into the beanbag shop XD
I would love to make an attempt at this. And, if I fail, at least i can have fun voting. Lol
Can't wait to see the characters created! ^______^

Uh, question. What does it mean by "Current NPC Connection"? Does that mean it's associated with an existing NPC?
well dang, I finished my design but I can't find a way to get it on my computer (since it's traditional).
:(
oh well. hopefully I can work something out.

Good luck to those who enter. I would try, but if it doesn't look good, it doesn't stand a chance; too many good artists on this site. Haha!
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
.....I have no ideas >.> I guess I know what I'm doing tonight!

I'll just wait to see who comes up with the winning design for the shopkeeper as my artistic skills are complete and utter crap when it doesn't involve food.
Ohh I thought this would be an HA thing like the one time. Kind of bummed it isn't, so I can't take part I have no artistic skills what so ever XD Good luck everyone else!
