Elephant Hats
 

What elephant? I don't know what your talking about.

XD That's actually kind of the joke.

No no, all the contest items are finally being pixeled and released, at a much higher quality. The item you're looking at is actually one I, er, did as a joke. However, the other 99% of the contest items are done by our lovely, and much more talented pixelist Winter. They will be at a much more reasonable price. This particular one is just for laughs. I can pretty much guarantee I'll never be allowed to do another item ever again. =D

Oh no, no worries. We won't be doing that. This will be the only one, and really it's just for a giggle. Our usual high quality items are now releasing again, new DI's, a huge selection for the upcoming Halloween event items, and new commons, like beards! We finally have more beards now.

I guarantee Trisphee's items are back up to par, except for, well I suppose we can finally discuss...

*snicker*

The Elephant in the Room!

And that's it! That's the whole joke. I lose since I'm the one who did it.

Yeeeeeeees! Salone wins! Sort of.

And they never let me near image editing software ever again!

Lol. Pixeling isn't so difficult!

I've been working on eyes.

The elephant hats are hilarious to me. I am entertained every time I see one.

That said, I do not forsee ever saying OK to doing another item like that. That elephant is Highlander.

Then don't buy it.

I would gladly pay that much money for the hat of amazement... I just need that much money.
*That and it's not a bad thing to have such a aurum sink in the system*

Love you but your being a real donkey right now.

>.> Is it sad that I couldn't tell they were Elephant hats? I thought they were hat blob bubble creatures.
(It is more cute now)

I still wish I knew what everyone was talking about... @__@

Aww are we not doing that anymore? T__T

Anyway, if anyone wants to be mad at someone, it was my idea to price it so high (I actually suggested nine million aurum :X), so you can blame me for that one.

Though, I'm still surprised anyone took it seriously. D:

You guys should just make up the cost difference by adding another pose with a better quality elephant hat. LOL

Oh, no worries! I literally just took the original art submission and squeezed it down to fit on the avi's head. I would be upset if I had a modicum of talent, but I rather like how, er...simple it turned out. Yeah. That's the word for it. Simple.

I was out of the loop for that one. >->
I tried searching the forums to see if there was some sort of comical event attempt or whatnot but then again, it was a half-assed search attempt and was just curious about it.

I'd be down for that.
I also corrected your misspelled of "elephant" in your quote in my post cause I'm OCD like that. >->

You little cheater... I'm not sure what to say. I forgave you for this piece and now you're saying you stole it from a submission!?

Excuse me while I go sob in a corner.

No! Don't cry! I said it was from one of the item contests in one of the earlier posts. There was an old old elephant hat submission from a few years back, and I simply trimmed it out and stuck it on as a joke. A 'see this isn't so hard, I can do items!' thing. Which obviously I cannot but it was late at night. It got a few laughs so we ran with it, and chuckles were had by many at the approach taken is all.

SUZE WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME

Oh whew. Sometimes its hard for me to pick up on the emotion behind text.

Someone do the eyes for me... They're irritating me.

Edit ...the hell... I deleted the wrong outline layer. *le sigh* I'll fix that.
Fixed!

Yeah and it's exceptionally difficult to determine my demeanor via text too, lol. Or so I've been told! I really need to learn to do more emotes to show emotion. I can come across as arrogant or an asshole.
Although I know I can be both at times as well.

That's actually a pretty good elephant!

And aye, I've started a lot of fights over text because of miscommunication of tone or atmosphere, and then you just feel silly afterwards. I mean I'm sure everyone has it happen to them, but it has caused a loooot of senseless fights. Is why I try to stay away from serious subjects in text these days.

There, I'm happier with it. Not completely happy but meh, there. Do the eyes.. Someone doet!

Edit:

I somewhat did some eyes. o.0

But that would ruin the fun!

Quality hat should be a separate item and reasonably priced. Stupid Statement hat must remain as is!

I am with Quiet, there. (Though a description/story for the redicu-hat would be good)

(Within the 2.5 dimensional realm of Trisphee, there was an invasion by the Hegemony of the Second Dimension. Riding on mighty Gridephants, the 2nd Dimension sought to erase the second iteration of Trisphee History. After the valiant defense of Squirrels and Chickens, the Hegemony were trapped and sent to the First Dimension. From the hide of the Gridephants, comes the premium Gridephant Helm!)

...I'm so sorry...I'll return to trying to write about kidnapping, fungal vampires, and taxidermists now...

I'm gonna save that description for later.

You know...for science.

Lawtan I do believe you left out how indispensable the assistance of pangolins were for the defense of Trisphee, and how they have been quietly left out of the textbooks and not been honored yet.

The United Gallus-Sciuridae Club, in order to preserve the honor and integrity of the Tris-Hegemon War, maintains denial of the Pangolin influence, despite historian and archaeological evidence to the contrary.

*ahem*

The United Pangolin Coalition demands the recognition of its assistance and sacrifices in the interest of protecting Trisphee, and condemns being white washed from the history books despite their significant contributions. The UPC hereby withdraws from this council, calling it a mockery of representation, and no longer recognizes your authority as a sovereign entity. You have slighted powerful allies this day.

Don't worry Salone I'm good at writing out restraining orders, if your ever feel like your privacy has been invaded or your life ever threaten message me right away and my business can have the paperwork finish in half of a century!

Haha, I'm okay with that. My plant-based avatar is covered in stalks.

Okay I am sorry that was horrible. Even by my standards. Not taking it back though.

And Illu, I'm an American. Of course my privacy has been violated.

I will never be able to unsee that photo.
