custom recolors of my second skin I made for AAA's bingo bash event! still got that butterfly wing <3

[mythicalviper-fr]

one of the two skin designs I made for AAA's bingo bash event! I'm trying out a new style, this one involved rendering only using the airbrush.

originally there was going to be a third wing but I didn't like it so I stuck a tree there instead. (bottom two are public releases pending.)

Festival Skin Entries by Year

Me and my friends who regularly enter festival contests have felt for the past few years that the number of entries per contest have dropped. Today we finally decided to compile every single festival submission thread since 2013 and see if that's true! This was pretty interesting, so we wanted to make a quick post to share the results. You can find the spreadsheet here.

*Note that 2013 only had 6 festivals contests, and we are only 3 contests into 2025.

2015 had the highest amount of total entries that year.

Arcane 2015 holds the highest non-2013 record of entries at 45 pages.

The flights with the highest number of entry pages total is Arcane at 285, Light with 280

The lowest pagecount total is not actually Earth but Wind with 178 pages!

The total number of entries per festival has definitely been in drastic decline since 2015. What's the reason for this?

Contest prize went up to 1.5kg for Plague 2014, then to 2kg for Light 2019.

Fest entry slots scaled these fests: Light 2013 - 6 slots Fire 2013 - 8 slots (+2) Plague 2013 - 10 slots (+2) Fire 2014 - 12 slots (+2) Fire 2015 - 14 slots (+2) Light 2023 - 16 slots (+2) Light 2024 - 20 slots (+4 - 2 permababy 2 general)

Light and Fire in 2013 did not have separate submission and discussion threads. We filtered the pages into those that contained an img and those that did not.

2023 Rockbreakers is an outlier. Entry pages are unusually high for that year (29 pages) because we ran a 500g giveaway to enter the contest.

...although, 29 pages would've been the norm in 2015-2016!

Pretty interesting data!

My own thoughts:

The observation that started this off was that Nature remained consistently high in entries over the past 4 yrs while every other flight seemed to decline. This is still true! Nature is the only flight that remains able to break the 20 page barrier!

Why has the userbase doubled, but festival submissions grow fewer and fewer each year?

What was going on in 2016?

Here's a link to the submission thread compilation on FR; I can't add the links on Tumblr, the site thinks I'm a spambot.

No-Hit Boss Killer

I made this build about a month ago, but I don't think I've properly introduced frblr to THE CLOBBER.

Kill ANY boss in any venue on a cold start. Grind in lvl 25 venues hitless, forever. Yes, it works in any venue and any boss. Yes, it slots perfectly into a team of 133 STR general grinders. Yes, it costs less than 45g to build. No, you don't need another eliminate.
