How big is the circle compared to the star's mouth or petals, or whatever other comparison is convenient for you? Just requoting this in case you missed this question earlier.

I did in fact miss that! I'd say it's most of a semicircle, but not all of one. A quasi-semicircle. It's much bigger than anything about the star, which is why I tried to give measurements based on the template. From the bottom of the page to the high point of the semicircle is probably around the same as the star's total height?

OK, I think I gotcha. Does it take up a big portion of the bottom right? How many could you fit across the template if you lined them up? And just to double check we're on the same page, we're talking semi-circle like a line drawn through the center of the circle and everything below that line just disappearing, yeah? Unless the "line" is a bit above/below the center, if that makes any sense.

It takes up most of the bottom edge of the template but very little of the right edge. Barely any of the right edge at all. I think you could stack 5 or 6 vertically. You're not going to fit more than 1 horizontally.
Imagine the line was drawn a little bit higher than in the middle, so a bit more than half the circle disappeared.

I think we should call it a night once you're done with this bit. Describing the land masses is going to take forever.

Ohh, so it's like really long but also pretty short in comparison to it's length, right? How far is the right edge from the border? Also, I'm assuming we're going to be drawing "landforms" inside of it since it's more/less a globe, correct?

OK yeah I'm just about to head to bed in a bit too.

The right edge is on the border. It just doesn't stay on the right border for very far.

Post by Stitch on Mar 5, 2020 5:26:55 GMT
Oh, so it's touching the border?

Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 5:31:33 GMT
Yes it covers a tiny bit of the right border and a lot of the bottom border.

Oh, and before I log off for the night, here's what I'm thinking regarding the challenge. Since our time is still running, that means that we can still work on the descriptions and post them here when you're done, and I can still work on my drawing whenever I have the time. Basically I have work tomorrow up until like 2 PM pacific and won't be fully online until a few hours after that, so while I'm gone you can post the descriptions of as many objects as so have time for and I can check up on it during my breaks to see if there's anything I'm confused about or know I'd need more detail about, and then when I'm back I can ask for further clarification and get to drawing the other things. That doesn't mean you have to do that if you don't have the time and I'd totally understand that, but the option's there if you feel like it. Basically we're kind of screwed time-wise if others decide to rush it, so I want to emphasize on being as detailed as we can possibly be so we can avoid last place. I'm thinking if we can keep up this pace there's basically no way we'd come in last place in terms of accuracy since you know there's going to be a district or two that completely bombs it. I think we'd have a decent shot at first too potentially, but yeah I'm much, much more concerned about not getting last.

That plan sounds good. I should have time to describe stuff throughout the day. I might actually start describing other elements and leave the landmasses for last.

There's a face coming in from the top left. It has two very large pincers and then five teeth or spikes or jagged somethings in between the pincers. The pincers and spikes are all pointing towards the globe. This covers most of the top border and some of the left border.
The outline of the right pincer starts about 2/3 of the way across the top border. The remaining 1/3 to the right of it is just the blue background. The point of the right pincer is a bit more than a third of the way down the page. The outside of the pincer curves out from the top border and then in, so the point of the pincer is almost exactly as far right as where the outline of the pincer started. There's some space between the right pincer and the purple star, but not enough that another star would fit.
The outline of the left pincer starts about 1/3 of the way down the left border. The rest of the left border below it is all the blue background. The point of the left pincer is about halfway down the page and about 1/4 of the page away from the left border. This one also curves out from the border and then in to the point.

Let me know if this makes sense. The face has 13 points in total. Two are the pincers, five are the teeth things. The other six are from the gaps between the pincers/teeth. For every spike that juts out of the face, there is an empty space that seemingly juts into it.

The leftmost spike's point is about 1/4 down the page and 1/4 to the right. The rightmost spike's point is slightly higher up and about in the middle of the page horizontally. That should leave 1/4 of the page horizontally between them for the other spikes, which are all of a similar length. The points have a very slight slope upward to the right.
The points for the openings between the pincers/spikes also have a slight slope upward to the right. The point of the opening between the left pincer and the leftmost spike is a bit less than 1/5 of the way to the right of the left border. It's a bit more than 1/10 of the way down from the top border.
The point of the opening between the right pincer and the rightmost spike is basically right above the point of the rightmost spike, in the horizontal middle of the page. The spike's point might be every so slightly to the left of the opening's point.

This thing is colored red. It has two eyes with eyelashes. The left eye is a horizontal oval that goes from near the left border to between the first and second pointed openings on the left. It has six eyelashes on the top. There are just short black lines curving left. The inside of the eye is white with a black pupil, which is another horizontal oval.
The left point of the right eye is between the second and third openings from the right. This eye tilts upward off the page. Most of the pupil is on the page. Two eyelashes on top curve to the right.

Ty Ted! I've just eaten and am settling down. I'm reading through your descriptions rn and will comment as I go along.

Before I move on to the face I just want to double check something regarding the semicircle. It starts at the very bottom of the page correct, and there's no space below it? And for the right edge, is the semicircle complete or does it get cut off at the end? Does it only touch the right border briefly at the rightmost point?

Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 23:41:18 GMT
The semicircle is at the very bottom. The right part of the semicircle is cut off by the right border. It covers very little of the right border.

This one also curves out from the border and then in to the point. By pincers, do you mean like claws? So like do the pincers have a mouth, or do you mean they're holding the spikes likes knives or something? And are the pincers coming out from the face or does it look more like it's coming out of a body you can't see, if that makes any sense? I'm trying to visualize the pincers and I'm struggling a bit. Right now I'm visualizing it as a large claw, but if it's meant more to be a mouth that'll change things drastically. What color are the pincers? It'll also help to know what the overall shape of them are (not like detailing every curve or whatever, but just a general shape of whether their thin/think, long/short, square/round, etc., and also measurements / comparisons to other things if that's feasible). I'm also unsure of what angle the pincer is approaching from (like if it's pointing straight down, to the right, etc). I don't really understand what you mean by the point of the pincer (is it like the tip?), which makes me feel like my visualization might be significantly off.

I'm sorry but I think I'm just completely lost regarding the description of the face. I think it'll help me to establish a few base guidelines. Firstly, is it shaped like a human head with red skin or is it significantly different than that? Is the face looking straight ahead or is it's head titled slightly? From your description it sounds like the head is located at the very left side of the border with its left side (from our POV) cut off slightly, correct? I'm also trying to visualize from what angle the spikes jut out from and I'm having a hard time with that. Do the spikes look very big/long compared to the head? I think I have other questions but these will probably help me establish a decent baseline.
