You may remember that last year I hosted a South Park art collab to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Ray – Part 1.

Since Part 2’s 20th anniversary is coming up, I thought I’d come back for round 2.

Admittedly I don’t plan on this collab being as big as the first. I haven’t been feeling it like I used to, but I still want to commemorate Part 2 as I did Part 1. Hopefully we’ll still have a good turnout and end product. I plan on creating a gallery game and a Wimmelbilder for the collab to showcase all of the entries.

Anyway, you’ll wanna know what you gotta do:

Rules/Guidelines:

• Brief: Submit at least one full-body character drawn in the South Park style. It can be pretty much anyone: a real person, a fictional character, an OC, a Newgrounds mascot, even just one of the characters from the show.
• Format: Create your character digitally, or provide a high-quality scan of a traditional piece like a hand drawing or painting.
• No Character Builders: Don’t use character/avatar creator sites like SP-Studio. Draw the characters yourself.
• No AI Art: Goes without saying. I’ve also gotten pretty good at working out if something is AI-generated, so consider yourself warned.
• No Shitposting: Don’t just submit something you slapped together in a couple of minutes. Might as well post something you’re gonna be proud of.
• No NSFW Art: Let’s try and keep it to a T.
• No Background Elements: Just the character(s) and whatever prop(s) they need. This will just be easier for what I’ve got planned in terms of world building.
• Multiple Characters: You can submit more than one character if you want. If the characters are standalone (i.e. not doing anything together like cuddling or just standing really close) then it would be best if they each get their own entry/canvas.
• Modifications: I'll allow you to tweak/modify your entry up to the deadline.
• Dimensions: Make sure your artwork is a decent resolution; the gallery will have the dimensions of 1920x1080, so I recommend a canvas between 764 and 900 pixels tall.
• Transparent Background: Submit your character as a .PNG with a transparent background.
• Submission: Feel free to post your entry in the collab thread, but also host a full-definition version of your entry somewhere. Those of you with Supporter status can host it in your Newgrounds Dump; alternatively, upload it to a file sharing site and send me a link. You’re welcome to upload your entry to the Portal prior to the deadline.
• Approval: I’ll react to your entry with a :) if it's approved, and I’ll let you know if you need to change anything to get approved.
• Also, have fun with it. :)

Deadline: Saturday 31 August 2024, 18:00 GMT

Entries posted after the deadline will not be accepted.

I thought that I’d do things differently this time, and get the ball rolling with my own entry, Stan Marshroom. Plus, it’ll give you an example of what I’m looking for in your entries.

• Entry is a full-body piece of art.
• It consists of just the character with no background elements.
• It’s a decent resolution (1080x1080 but obviously crunched for the BBS).
• It’s been exported as a .PNG with a transparent background.

Now that you know the score, go forth and create more chaos in South Park!
