Valentine's Day is our favorite time of year to come up with fun and exciting community-centric contests!


Here's the challenge: We want to see you immortalized in huge pixels! Using the contest tool below and only solid colors, create a self-portrait. Portray yourself as creatively as you'd like! It can be an accurate representation, an aspect of your personality, how you picture yourself — anything you want, as long as it embodies you.


And the reward is big! One-hundred winners will receive a set of ultra awesome Emoticon Stress Balls, courtesy of deviantWEAR.


Dazzle us, wow us, and put yourself in pixels! It's as easy as clicking the pretty squares. Try it! It's fun!

Even with Ruffle, I couldn't play the app. Only in Archive[dot]org, it works and it's full good old experience to boot! The journal isn't what it used to be now they remove journal skin. RIP Custom Journal.


I am working on a Python Script that turn your drawing into SOL file so you can resume it on the Flash App (local, not on this page) but it is unfinished. For so long. The repository is here.
