It made me think of this classic Kevin Owens story.

I saw people were sharing their templates here so I went ahead and made one for us. Coordinates 316,316 seemed fitting for a wresting ring.

With Canvas a week away I tweaked the design more. I used blue ropes since there’s already blue on the apron, but they’re still subject to change depending on what’s around us. The main change is I made Squared Circle bigger. The taller letters are giving me a Star Trek vibe but I figured I’d let you all take a look at both.

I saved the 1:1 versions separately so the one people like can be used as a template without having to upload it again. (Edit: Turns out Lemmy compresses images so they won’t work for templates. I’ll just throw the one we want to use on Imgur.) I also included the old design to compare to the new ones. Which one looks the best to you?

It seems like they keep announcing big names for this movie, so either they’re dumping a ton of money into it to make a good film, or 99% of the budget is going to the cast and the rest will be shit. I can’t wait to see which way it goes.

Pay me by check,

Or digitally,

My values can be bought easily,

I decided to test out the design by pasting it onto last year’s Canvas. I also tested out outlining the the whole thing to see if it makes any difference, but I think I like the idea of other people drawing characters peeking though the ropes more than I like the ropes being easy to see from a distance.

Since people seem to like the idea of a ring I came up with this. At the top it’s the actual size compared to what we did last year, and the big one is just zoomed in to see details better. I put our home instance, lemmy.zip’s, logo on the canvas because it seemed empty otherwise. I’m also just now realizing we’d be putting a canvas on Canvas.

The basic rectangular footprint is 149x75, compared to last year’s 86x50. We also might need to outline the ropes in white or something, depending on what’s going on around us. Judging from last year’s timelapse, it looks like we finished around the half way point, so going bigger shouldn’t be that much of an issue, as long as we can stake our claim early. I used the color palette from last year so we shouldn’t run into it looking different when it’s time to start drawing.

I’m not super into the color of the ring ropes, but I thought I’d get people’s opinions before doing to much more. What does everyone think?

I just happened to see a post about Canvas coming back last night so I looked into it this morning.

And to be fair I didn’t think anyone would actually go for Mr. Iguana, I just wanted to have the option of a wrestler.

…no longer bonused for the Saudi shows, as those types of things are baked into their contracts now.

That makes it seem like talent can’t even say no to the Saudi shows now, which sucks. On the bright side, Punk won’t even get a big bag of money for sucking that blood covered dick.

The closest I know of is [email protected] but it’s mostly people posting minis they’ve painted. It’s also not the most active. There’s also [email protected] but the newest post is from 4 months ago.

Cultaholic also posted a video titled The Future of Cultaholic where the four originals look back on their time together. I understand that a title like that gets people to watch, but I was worried since their sister channel, Triple Jump, recently had to call it quits because of falling viewer numbers.

I know some people don’t like them because of their list videos, but they also make some good documentary style content. I’ll definitely miss Adam, but I’m sure the rest of the crew will do fine without him.

At first I thought WWE was using its history as a shitty company to sell a storyline, but it turns out WWE is just a shitty company.

Oh yeah, there’s a reason I said I felt a bit better about him and not a ton.

I’ve been on the fence about FTR ever since that whole thing went down. Hearing people that know Cash don’t think he did it makes feel a bit better about liking them as a team again.

With the table integration, WWE Superstars will “Snap into a Slim Jim Table” during matches.

I don’t hate the wordplay, but I don’t have high hopes that commentary won’t wear out the joke almost instantly.

This really sucks, but now I’m hoping we get a moody black and white video of Truth jumping over chain link fences and sneaking past dogs, while a voice over talks about how he’s breaking free and all the standard post WWE stuff. The video ends with Truth realizing he broke into a higher security wing of the prison and gets chased around Scooby Doo style.
