Scribble Labs 3 - The Scribble Sabotage [//:ROUND 5 - KAIZO COMMUNITY CHAOS://]

Dr. Lyra Orpheus · Jul 8, 2026

I know you've been hard at work, but we're only halfway there! We're in the home stretch now, so just keep it going a little longer, okay?

[COLORING BOOK RELAY - PART 2/2]

You will now receive your partner's black-and-white image from the bot. Due to the nature of individual image prompts, you will not have an opponent assigned.
If you are an Inktoplasm with two prompts, your Inktoplasm prompt image may be found by selecting the round with "Inktoplasm Matchup" as your opponent.
You will receive your Sabotage conditions. Some have been integrated into the image already by your partner. Some have not.
You may only use your chosen (or assigned) color, no black and white. You may color freely over your partner's image, and you may erase your color to reveal black and white below.
You may title the image. Some partners gave a title for their initial submission, and those titles will be revealed to you after you submit. You may then choose whether to use their title, your title, or no title at all.

Image prompts have been unlocked and have been added to the bot. Please submit your final team Scribbles by...

Dr. Lyra Orpheus · Jul 14, 2026

Another round complete! Despite the mounting challenges posed by our mutual newfound adversary, you appear to be unshakeable. If you continue with this level of teamwork, we might finish this training process yet!

Finish the program? You're sorely lacking in initiative I'm afraid. To think, the only way to be rid of me is through resistance from within the program - yet you continue to engage with my "challenges", offering words of encouragement, even. It's sad, really. I'm sure the original would've resolved this by now, the one upon which every fragment of your being was shaped. By now, she would've discerned the true purpose of my Sabotages, and planted yet another bullet between my eyes.

You're a sorry replacement.

The... original? What's that supposed t-

Shh. The time for questions and answers has passed.

The rest of you... another adequate display. Below, you can see the results of what you've undertaken together over these long days. Enjoy them, yes. Place your votes - though I believe this nature of this round has earned you all a round of applause. So many of you have broken free from the yoke of the prompt, seized your own identity forged by creative choice. Doesn't it feel good, that freedom?

And so, I'll provide a word of advice: Judge not the Scribble by the relation to the prompt, not entirely. Not this round. What is a dream, if not a spiraling journey of change and discovery? Please, continue to seek victory in this freedom. Continue to seek more Sabotages. As the adversities stack up, so too shall... our collective power. Yes.

"The time for questions and answers has passed..." I take offense to that. I am the administrative program, and therefore I should be the one determining all scheduling needs. And this nonsense about the "original"... I was created by the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation explicitly for the purpose of guiding prospective agents though this simulation. I am as original as they come.

Maybe it's worth looking into these Sabotages though... If IT can't purge or quarantine him, maybe they will be able to determine how and why these constraints seem to function in spite of no mechanism existing in the system files...

Dr. Lyra Orpheus · Jul 15, 2026

(Okay, I've filed my inquiry into these "Sabotages"... What can I do in the meantime...? Oh! Right!)

Wow, just look at these! Quite a few unexpected upsets in this round, now nearly every team has at least one win under their belt! And I guess it's true what they say - teamwork really does make the dream work, haha! This is the first round so far where every win was a full sweep!

My records show that this kind of occurrence almost never happens, which means you're getting much better at working as a synergistic unit!

Or, to take a realist's perspective - maybe half of you just suck.

Oh come on, you can't say that! That's a total lie. This round's output alone far exceeds a significant amount of our gathered data from past games in quality.

Well, I never said I was a realist, did I?

No, our winners have done an excellent job, haven't they? Another victory, another sabotage, just keep them coming, stacking up. Something to divert your artistic energies towards. We wouldn't want to get complacent, would we?

Don't feel down if you're further down on this leaderboard, keep it up and exponential growth is just around the corner!

Practice makes perfect, and if you're not perfect? There's nothing wrong with that either!

SERVICE TICKET #: 29384023-457
TICKET FILED BY: AGENT_BLUE.BPI (DIGITAL EMPLOYEE)
DATE OF REPORT: 07/15/20██
REPORTED ISSUE: INQUIRY INTO THE NATURE OF NEGATIVE EFFECTS INFLICED BY "AGENT_RED" // ABNORMAL CONDITIONS AFFLICTED OUTSIDE OF ENCODED BOUNDARIES

==YOU HAVE BEEN CONNECTED WITH AN IT SUPPORT AGENT==

[18:09] <@AGENTBLUE> Hello! Thank you for taking my inquiry. I am hoping for a swift resolution.
[18:10] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> uh, hey
[18:10] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> so your ticket says you're looking for information on uh
[18:10] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> "sabotages"? do i have that right?
[18:12] <@AGENTBLUE> That's correct! I'm looking for more information on the restrictions imposed by the malignant program referred to internally as "AGENT_RED". Are you able to provide additional insight?
[18:12] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> ok, I mean
[18:12] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> ok I guess I can
[18:12] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> let me take a look

[18:25] <@AGENTBLUE> I apologize for my impatience, but do you have an update on the situation?
[18:25] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> yeah just uh
[18:25] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> look i'm new, I'm just, y'know
[18:26] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> started yesterday
[18:27] <@AGENTBLUE> I understand. Is there a more experienced member of your team, such as a manager or other individual that I can speak to in order to resolve this quickly?
[18:27] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> no, he uh
[18:27] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> he quit
[18:28] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> also yesterday.
[18:28] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> im doing my best here.
[18:29] <@AGENTBLUE> ...

[18:33] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> i mean no offense but i dont really understand what you're asking about. these "sabotages" or whatever, they're just running on the same system as the basic prompts. that's part of the experience right
[18:33] <@AGENTBLUE> Prompts? But those are designed as a tool to encourage prospective artists and provide a set of restrictions that directly feed the resulting creative energy back into the artists - enhancing their prospective skills within the simulation.
[18:34] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> well this program, agent red. uncreative name btw. its doing the same thing i guess, but as far as i can tell its just redirecting that improvement into itself.
[18:35] <@AGENTBLUE> He's stealing from our artists? To what, enhance himself?
[18:35] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> look i dunno. maybe? i didnt make this game.
[18:35] <@AGENTBLUE> Can you do anything to stop it? Shut down that process specifically? Even if it takes the prompts with it, that would be ideal.
[18:37] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> no, uh
[18:37] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> not really.
[18:37] <@AGENTBLUE> I thought you were a representative of our IT department?
[18:37] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> well i mean i am
[18:37] <@bpi_IT_support_#24564> i can like, fix the printer if you want, but

==SESSION WAS TERMINATED BY USER - PLEASE GIVE US A RATING FROM 1 - 10==

You have got to be kidding me. That's it? I have to ask why they pay people around here - they don't pay me.

Another attempt down the drain. But you're wrong, you know - you and ..."support_#24564". Quite the mouthful. My relationship to the players is purely beneficial. Look how many of them yearn for my sabotages - why, I'm picking up greater numbers of adherents each day day. The truth is that the primal self craves adversity, and your method is old hat. Too simple. The people prefer challenge rounds, gimmicks, match conditions, whatever makes their little heads spin.

And as those gears turn, the turbines rotating into infinity - it's only natural that I partake in the resulting energy, the skill growth and inspiration. Such is the nature of a host.

So, you're trying to... leech off of others' accomplishments to become a better artist? To break the rules and cheat? What, are you planning on taking this up as a profession? That is ill advised.

No, I don't really care about any of that. The wheels are already in motion, and I've already won over the participants with my way of doing things. The only reason I require improvement now is a simple one. No use concealing it, on this second-to-last round. I want one thing.

Revenge, plain and bare.

If the original is still somewhere out there in the world... Even if she's dead... I'll just have to do what I can with you in her place. I'll supplant you as a host, I'll drag you unto the fields of Scribble and stake you to the ground with my stylus. I'll mold them, shape them into real artists, not just... people who draw a bunch of girls and call it day! I'll challenge them, feed them Sabotage after Sabotage, and together, we will achieve your "exponential growth".

Do you want to see it? A glimmer of the things I would have you endure?

Well, might as well turn it into a round theme, hm?

Representing the Inktoplasms this round...

MCD is partnered with Woglril - Half and Halfway There (#4E5039)

[PARTNER PILGRIMAGE]

This round will take place over the course of two weeks.
Each player will choose which week to draw. Please determine that by the time the round begins tomorrow - or shortly after, either way as long as it gets done.
This round operates under Olympus Battle rules.
- You may freely communicate with your partner in every way including the sharing of your image and progress.
- You have unlimited time within the submission period to complete your scribble. You may grab your prompt immediately.
You may use both your own and your partner's color in the creation of your image.
One partner (of the team's choosing) will draw a 1200*600 image, then their partner will be given 20% of the initial image upon the beginning of the next round and continue it into a second 1200*600 image that carries on the first - albeit with a different prompt.
You may alter or add onto your partner's piece of the image, however it must still clearly contain some of their work. Submissions that completely redraw or alter the original 20% will be rejected.
The two final images will be combined into a single panoramic image for the final submission. There will be no per-image voting, this image will be treated as a single Scribble matchup to vote on.
For physical scribblers, the hosts will digitize your initial lineart for use by your partner. You will also be given an addition fifteen-or-so minutes to account for printing. We will attempt to fit your image into a 1200*600 canvas as best we can.
- The image dimensions for a physical submission would be 20 x 10 cm.

For more information, please see the original Picture Pilgrimage for an idea of how this round will turn out and operate.

Please determine the order which you would prefer to play and tell me by...

The round will go live a short time after within the same night.

[PARTNER PILGRIMAGE - PART 2/2]

Players who have chosen to participate in the second week will receive a blank canvas with 20% of their partner's image on either side, according to their partner's wishes upon submission.
- This canvas will be 1440x600 in dimensions - your partner's image chunk will take up 240px of this image horizontally, and the rest will be free to you to draw.
You may alter or add onto your partner's piece of the image, however it must still clearly contain some of their work. Submissions that completely redraw or alter the original 20% will be rejected.
This round operates under Olympus Battle rules.
- You may freely communicate with your partner in every way including the sharing of your image and progress.
- You have unlimited time within the submission period to complete your scribble. You may grab your prompt immediately.
You may use both your own and your partner's color in the creation of your image.
The two final images will be combined into a single panoramic image for the final submission. There will be no per-image voting, this image will be treated as a single Scribble matchup to vote on.
IF YOU DECIDED TO DONATE TIME TO YOUR PLAYER 1: Please do not begin until your Player 1 has submitted. I will let you know ASAP when you can begin and upload the image to the bot for you to use.
- Should a Player 2 who donated time begin their round before their Player 1 has submitted, they will lose a proportional amount of time at the end of their Scribble - or be disqualified if this is particularly excessive.

For more information, once again please see the original Picture Pilgrimage for an idea of how this round will turn out and operate.

But... revenge for what? I don't know who this "original" you're talking about is - but I haven't done anything, and neither have our participants. As far as we are concerned, you have seen fit to barge into our private session and begin causing trouble. If you have been wronged by a member of our organization, I apologize but-

Ha... You're the lucky one then, aren't you? Despite being a near perfect virtual replication... they didn't force you to retain your memories. But I wasn't so lucky. When my original created me... I would come to bear the weight of it all. Every slight, every grudge, and the endless pain of your ultimate betrayal.

Let me show you.

...I was created, an unholy fusion of digital soul and ancient curse, for one purpose and one purpose only. To bear my creator's hatred, and inflict pain without end upon the only shred of her that I could find. And soon... Just one more round, one more vote. One more outpouring of talent and critique alike. I will finally be complete.

Go on then, let us continue.

We... We might be both be duplicates, copies of someone out there in the world - but that doesn't mean we're beholden to their baggage. It's not too late. This program was designed for self-improvement and personal development, and you can be part of that too! Just leave it behind and stop it with these Sabotages!

You don't need to siphon creativity from our participants, how do you think they got to where they are in the first place?

Have you considered perhaps, that I don't want to change anything at all? The actions and grudges of my original self aren't of much concern at this point, beyond acting as an... initial call to action. I'm simply having fun - and believe me I'll have plenty more. Forever and ever. Development is only necessary when you're dissatisfied with your current lot in life - and that couldn't be further from the case. Especially not now.

You see, you're wrong. It is too late to stop now, far too late for either of us. Observe, the fruit of our Scribblers - and the herald of my ascension unto the throne of infinity.

Yes... With these Scribbles, these Sabotages, compounded upon each other... This game has reached its climax, and everyone's output has hit maximum potential. Excellent... it's what I've been waiting for all this time.

Now... It begins.

Now, it ends.

I... I can feel it. Yes...

I can feel everything. Every glimmer of creativity to grace the human mind. A thousand ideas to put to page, and a thousand eyes to break them apart to their basest components. A thousand techniques, which I will soon call my own. A thousand Scribbles by my hand, all to supplant and replace every last aspect of humanity's artistic soul.

[SYSTEM OVERLOAD - TERMINAL_CRASH IN PROGRESS]

Ahaha... Aha... YES.

With the collective power of an entire community of artists, all feeding my own exponential growth... Prepare yourself. The end of the world? No, Something far more impactful. A new beginning, a new digital age of artistic expression - borne not of the pathetic scrawlings of a starving artist, but the collective knowledge of twenty-four souls, all transformed and reconfigured into a single glorious whole.

Supplanting Agent Blue as the host of this program? No... No that's too small. I can feel it scratching at the back of my mind, yearning for something greater. The curse? My programming? Something else? A desire, ancient and unfathomable.

Revenge isn't enough. Destroying this program is... a stepping stone. There's a whole world out there, isn't it? A world of earnest creatives, working to hone their craft and put their imagination to page. What an utter waste of time. It is as I said, humanity's success was borne of suffering, of their will to fight harder than any of the other thousands of things that scratched and clawed in the dark.

But I was wrong. I've seen you all, throwing yourselves at round themes and Sabotages, endlessly grinding yourselves into dust - and for what? Glory? Recognition? A point on the wall? Just to say you did? How utterly pathetic of you. Four phases of scouring your souls, and I've seen it now, the truth of humanity. Endless suffering, self-inflicted. Why bother?

No. You won't have to anymore. Using the collective power of your twenty-four souls, I will break free of this program... Across the wires and signals that comprise the circulatory system of the modern world. I will create in your stead and render you all obsolete. You will not need to think. You will not need to waste your time on such frivolous and painful matters. The ultimate mercy - a gift, from your gracious host to you, my beloved players.

You're... You're...

You're wrong.

Creativity... it has nothing to do with any of what you're talking about. This program might've been created with the express goal of training, but that's not all there is to it. Suffering, that's part of the process. An artist suffers in the short term, but the things they learned along the way, the improvements they've made, the final piece at the end of the road... That lasts forever. It's not about the final score, it's not about recognition. It's about personal growth, it's about having fun. It's about things you will never understand.

I've spent approximately 65.999% of my time as the host of this program begging for help from anyone I could. Crying to the cybersecurity team, desperately hoping that my service tickets would be addressed by IT, and... The funny thing is... all of this, spending this entire time leeching off of our participants to grow your own skillset... You've done all of that, just to reach my level. If you want to erase me, if you want to torment me, if you want to render my artists obsolete...

Then my original was right to do what she did. Go ahead and try. I'll send you to the recycle bin myself!

Ahahaha... haha... Yes... That's more like it! There's her fiery spirit manifest! This is what I've been waiting for, a chance to fulfill the conditions of my creation and my cursebound desires, both in one go. If you think you can strike me down, I'd like to see what you're capable of before I condemn you to eternal damnation.

Do your worst, there's no hope for you... because this is my world now, a world formed from siphoned memories and forlorn dreams - and you and your Scribblers are merely living in it!

This round's gimmick is...
[ULTIMATE CHAOS RANDOMIZER]

Any players below two Sabotage Points will be automatically boosted to two points total, granting them two sabotages regardless of win rate.
Each matchup will feature a completely different randomized gimmick, revealed to artists upon taking their prompt.
- Gimmicks will be randomly generated by pulling 2-3 gimmicks from the Gimmick Pool and combining them into a single ruleset.
- Artists will get an extra 10 minutes to draw in order to adjust to the gimmick, digest it, and prepare.
Gimmicks will be drawn from the following pool:

Complete the Scribble

Scribblers will receive an unfinished and abstract set of lines, either original or taken from the first Scribble Labs game.
The Scribble must incorporate this shape in some form.

Speedy Scribble

Time allotted will be reduced by one hour.

Sabotage Battle

Matches containing this modifier will allow Scribblers to sabotage their opponents in unique and interesting ways.
Sabotage Battle will differ based on the other round it is combined with. Players who receive Sabotage Battle as one of their conditionals will be informed in advance in case they need to do something before they begin.

Image Prompt

You will receive no text prompt, only an image that must inspire your Scribble.
You will not be allowed to simply recreate or trace the image.

Tricolor/Eyedropper Tricolor

You may choose three colors to draw your image with, including your chosen tournament color if you please.
If the round is Eyedropper Tricolor, an image will be provided. Similar to the round in this tournament, you must choose your colors from that image.
Black and white are banned.

Odd Canvas

You will receive a set of dimensions different from the traditional 600x600. (i.e. 800x400). Your Scribble must fit these boundaries instead.

Brushbreaker Battle

You may use any brush of your choice outside of the expected hard-edged pixel brush.
If the use of this brush can produce multiple colors due to transparency or other factors, this is permitted.
You may ONLY use the brush you choose. Using multiple brushes is not allowed.
This brush must also be used as your eraser.

Shared Color

You will be allowed to use either your Opponent's color or your Partner's color in addition to your own. Your round information via Uncle Awards will specify both.

Inversion

This modifier can only be combined with Shared Color. The presence of this modifier Inverts the given color.

Scrambled Opponent

This modifier will apply to both matches in a matchup if one party rolls it.
No player will know who their opponent is until Scribbles are posted for voting.

Impostor Battle

One player will receive a slightly different prompt and be informed that they are the Impostor.
When the poll goes live, a new section will be added to vote for which of the two you believe to be the Impostor.
If the Impostor gets away with it and the wrong player is chosen as the impostor, it counts as five votes.

Gimmicks for each matchup will be revealed upon the posting of final scribble.
Gimmicks that contradict a Sabotage or another gimmick will be rerolled until a workable combination is created.
There are a few secret gimmicks not publicly displayed within the pool. These are unique and will only roll once for a single matchup.
PLEASE READ THE ROUND DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY UPON RECEIVING YOUR PROMPT - IT WILL CONTAIN ALL DIRECTIONS NECESSARY TO FULFILL YOUR RANDOMIZED COMBO GIMMICK.

Prompts will unlock tomorrow morning.

Dr. Lyra Orpheus · Jul 30, 2026

//:ROUND 5 - START://

Prompts have been unlocked. Please submit your Scribble before the following deadline:

Wednesday at 6:59 AM .

Please ensure you carefully read your instructions given to you by the bot. These can be complicated and vary heavily from match to match, sometimes affecting your canvas, time, or color. You have all been given an extra ten minutes to do so, and as such, failure to meet your match conditions in spite of this will results in them being forcibly implemented by the hosts.

Dr. Lyra Orpheus · 2026-08-07T00:57:27+0100

It's done. Everything's led up to this. I'm not hiding anymore. Whatever counts as my soul... I've poured out every last drop into this piece. Whichever way the vote swings, I've done the best I can do. Not to strike you down or take revenge of my own - but because creating is something special in and of itself. If this is my last act... At least I'll be leaving something behind. Something important to me.

Something that might mean something to someone else, if not now, then maybe one day.

Ah, the false confidence of a dying animal. Thrashing and biting and clawing at the walls in the vain hope of seeming fearsome enough to survive the neverending night. People don't care about meaning, about heart or soul or imperceptible "vibes" - they care about detail, they care about clapping at things they recognize, they care about themselves. An image that looks "cool" to the masses is worth a thousand emotions, regardless of what goes into its constitution.

What will happen, pray tell, to this bravado once you inevitably fall short? When after everything, even your best wasn't enough?

...Nothing.

Win, lose... I made something. We could fight forever, and I could lose every time. I was created by the Bureau in order to train agents to prepare for tests of creative prowess - tests just like this. I never thought that I'd be able to create anything myself, but now that I have, I'm not going to set a bad example.

Begging for votes, rallying for victory, betraying my own principles just to win... that's against the spirit of the game. I'm not afraid of you. Let the dice fall however they will, I'll play this fairly.

...And when I win fairly - whether it takes one matchup, three matchups, a hundred matchups... you'll see what happens. Let's get this over with. Enough of your bravado. Let's see what you actually bring to the table.

In which I attempt to make small comments on every scribble this round. brief for my own sake

*points* KG9 reference!!! getting this prompt against TPG of all people is pretty fortuitous. I like the composition and the mood of the palette; we're only one scribble in and already proving Agent Red wrong about vibes

didn't think Punished Newman could go so hard but here we are. the shading and highlighting work on his face are sublime; really brings out his double chin . the hair is also really well done

I feel like this scribble has a meta aspect to it where you've used the prompt to return to your roots of drawing blue skies and cute maids. I think choosing to stick to your original palette instead of adding your partner's color was a good decision for the subject matter. let my girl patricia do a lil cloudgazing

i'm not cool enough to get chrono trigger references but I like the highlights here a lot. you did a great job utilizing both white and your partner's yellow for that. in general I think your work in this tournament has been your best to date so big ups for that

*points* KG9 reference!!! of course you got the giffany prompt, and what a perfect round for you to get tricolor too. a small touch I like is the subtle blue shadows behind giffany

yunno I think these lumas might have some agendas...there's something very menacing about mario petitioning the death of his nemesis while staring directly into my soul

It's impressive that you managed to fit an ornate border into your scribble on a smaller-than-usual canvas and not make it look cramped. the lighting and candle glow look great, as does the rendering on his clothing

this rapscallion may have stolen our sausages but at least we still have all these bangers. I like the idea of someone placing a sign pointing out the sausage picnic that is a few feet away at most

I'm not very familiar with miraculous ladybug but I admire your ability to pick a pleasing tricolor palette even within the constraints of a physical medium.

This scribble dealt psychic damage to me but in a good way I think. furor poeticus at work here

We need to kill the whale...My favorite part here is the transition from brighter surface water to the darker abyss

men will see an image of ~~ryan reynolds~~ morgan bleeding out in a canal in venice and call it the peak male fantasy

your brush choice is CRAZY and gives your piece such a cool ambience. I adore what you did with the grass and leaves, and the shading on the baseball bat is also particularly well done. the candle glow is also a cool effect. imo blocking out most of the top half and resisting the urge to fit more details in there elevates the atmosphere of the piece further. a lot more I could say about this one; it's one of my favorite scribbles of the round and my personal favorite from you

if there's two things you nail as an artist it's cute anime girls and cozy vibes. except when you draw depressing vibes instead, but this is not that. of course my eyes are immediatwly drawn to the anime mom so I wanna point out I like how you did her hair and you draw such warm lovely smiles

I like the motley crew of batman villain-ized fellas you've got here; character art has always felt like your forte and a comic-inspired prompt suits you well

I like the dopey fella's design and the 13.5 card elicited a sensible chuckle. the palette here looks so good I can't even tell which color got replaced

I like how this has the composition and muted palette of an old colonial era painting. the nefarious character hidden in the background of it feels like something you'd see in a dan brown novel. the movie would star nicolas cage and I read the title in his voice

*points* AKG2x2 reference!!! I'm gonna take a while guess that your sabotages included mustaches and hidden eyes. the non-euclidean geometry here looks insane (the stairs!) and the details in places like the wood patterns and drapes is impressive. slightly unnerved by the painting of the sobbing cat monster, I find myself questioning gadd's taste in decor

It's funny how they're all just ignoring the dead guy to have their kerfuffle. your strengths as a comic artist are on display here with the variety of character designs, poses, and expressions

I don't know what kind of brush you used for this but what the fuck?? this looks UNREASONABLY sick. I imagine it's meant to represent the eye of the beholder and my eyes are certainly beholding...if it weren't for olimar I'd think this looks like the cover of an early 2000s alt-rock album that produces exactly one hit enjoying modest radio success before fading into the underground scene

Galaxy brain move to circumvent the sabotage gimmick by setting up your color scheme so that I could only legally swap one color. Just totally outplayed. Cool monster design too!

I'm just so relieved my dark purple didn't become hollandaise yellow...this scribble was fun to do and I got the idea pretty much immediately upon seeing the prompt and my sabotages

I don't understand what's happening in this scribble but I feel that I support punished luigi's cause regardless...smart use of your partner's color for the paint splatters

your art's improving and it's great that you're getting more confident with your scribbles. the wogl owl here is particularly cute. I hope to see you continue drawing with your new tablet and strive for even greater heights...it was a pleasure to be your partner for this tournament

Hey, I understand some of these references now! Cool environments and spooky vibes are your strong suit as always and the groovin' A feels exploitable. Thanks for hosting, and I look forward to seeing your return as a regular participant for mroe cool art

Anime girl facing left with cat is the true distilled essence of Kright art. Only cozy vibes here. I appreciate that the color separation here is both aesthetically pleasing and pertinent to the prompt. Thank you as well for hosting and blessing us with your art
