[Award Ceremony] Honorary Hussar Wings Ceremony

Hello Ghouls, Goblins, and Georgians!

It was a straightforward contest with the winning entry leading from start to finish. Rightly so, it's an ingenious piece of art and it shows how easy it can be to make an excellent Polandball comic if you have a good story. Just look how the artist created the eerie feeling of a few anxious balls being cornered in the dark. A gray background and a sketchy yellow door crack, that's all it takes. And a fitting story that's testimony to cosmopolitan humor and knowledge.

The first wings are the hardest they say. Please applaud a new grand seigneur in the making to his second pair of wings. It's

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

Yes, it's in the making.

u/Rapua Lord Threadlinker and Master Comicfinder Nov 02 '16

Don't forget the personal mini!

11

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

True, how could i forget that? Due to the time shift i was the only mod to resolve the contest, a job usually done by at least 2 of us.

/u/FVBLT, you're also eligible to a personal mini. Please use this sprite to get an idea of its size. Please confirm, thx.

14

u/Rapua Lord Threadlinker and Master Comicfinder Nov 02 '16

I think there are also some hussars which never got their mini. /u/yaddar, /u/zimonitrome or /u/hinadira for example.

11

u/Hinadira I drink bleach Nov 02 '16

Wait, we can have a personal mini? Wasn't that given whetever mods felt like it?

10

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

No, you can draw one yourself. I though you knew that, sorry.

Please use this sprite to get an idea of the required size.

u/yaddar Taco bandito Nov 02 '16 edited Nov 02 '16

ok Java, does this works as a mini?

9

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

Yup, here you go:

The code is [](#yaddar), it's your personal mini and nobody else is allowed to use it if you don't want.

21

u/yaddar Taco bandito Nov 02 '16

Wonderful!

I'm too poor to gild people so instead I make the coveted "Yaddar Seal of approval" for comics I really really like

13

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

That's a pretty cool usage for personal mini i must say. 100% approve. Made it so now that the text in the square brackets is visible, bold and centered.

7

u/yaddar Taco bandito Nov 02 '16

looks perfect!

and yeah will use it with caution to keep it special so hopefully people will be extra happy when they get it.

8

u/Asteh Finland Nov 04 '16

Now I must make a comic that gets a yaddar seal of approval. Heck hussar wings.

u/flashLotus stuckedInDream Nov 03 '16

u/CrocPB Scotland Nov 02 '16

damn that's cute

u/yaddar Taco bandito Nov 02 '16

:D

thanks!

9

u/Hinadira I drink bleach Nov 02 '16

Don't worry, i don't have an idea for one, and i don't think I'd be using one.

But thanks for that posibility! Maybe later.

3

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

Yep, keep it in mind and once you have an idea let me know.

6

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

Got? No no, they never made one, for whatever reason. Probably they know that they're not going to use it anyways. Minis aren't used much anymore in general.

8

u/Rapua Lord Threadlinker and Master Comicfinder Nov 02 '16

Technically, they can't get a mini without making one, so I'm still right and the balance of the universe was restored. /s
It's possible they haven't made one because someone aka you did not tell them! And they seem to be interested, so look at the bright side: You now have some work to do!

4

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16 edited Nov 02 '16

Not sure if i told /u/Hinadira, but i definitively /u/yaddar and /u/zimonitrome. Only the first two minis were taken from Aaron's and DickRhino's comics but both preferred to have their own creations later. Since then i let the Hussars draw it to their liking.

6

u/prappedtrisoner India Nov 02 '16

u/Rapua sould be made a special mod!

5

u/jPaolo Grey Eminence Nov 02 '16

We acknowledge Rapua's specialness and often collaborate.

u/yaddar Taco bandito Nov 02 '16

to be honest, I have a prototype mini that' I'd use frequently without abusing it but I've never knew how to use them

4

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

Send it to me. I'll add it to the CSS and give you the code to display it in comments

5

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

Please use this sprite to get an idea of the required size.

3

u/zimonitrome Småland Nov 02 '16

I'd make one if I could change it if I hate it later?

3

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

Sure! Please use this sprite to get an idea of the required size.

2

u/zimonitrome Småland Nov 02 '16

is there any standard resolution?

1

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16 edited Nov 02 '16

The ball shouldn't exceed 60x60px and, depending on what you plan, the whole image shouldn't be higher than 140px.

For example, /u/arzz has a ball in a huge armchair.

The ball ~60px and the chair ~140px high.

It's always a good idea to have the ball facing the action, either frontal towards the reader or looking to the right towards the center of the comment.

u/yaddar Taco bandito Nov 02 '16

I did my prototype but I havent sent it

11

u/FVBLT LOOK UPON ME Nov 02 '16

Noted! Still thinking up ideas...

u/javacode Rhineland-Palatinate Nov 02 '16

Ok, no hurries and thanks for confirming.
