For tonight's art challenge, we asked you to create a map of Desert Bus, whatever that might imply. We received a bunch of great entries, and now it's time to show them off!
Honourable mentions:
And the winner is...
Thank you to all of our intrepid cartographers. It was a pleasure to be a part of your world!
For yesterday's creative challenge, we asked you to make us a pngtuber avatar. The bounty of submissions we received made us all long to shed our corporeal forms!
Honourable mentions:
And the winner is...
Thank you all so much for your wonderful work. We'd happily be isekaied into any of these states of existence!
There are many things that Desert Bus simply could not do without, and one of those things is a gargantuan mountain of tech. That's why we're especially thankful to longtime sponsor Elgato for generously providing us with the machinery we need to keep this bus on the road!
Elgato is a world-leading provider of audiovisual technology for content creators on all video sharing platforms.
Synonymous with quality and performance, Elgato products are either state-of-the-art inventions in their own right, or reimagined technologies designed to revolutionize creative workflows. Software and firmware are frequently updated to keep producers at the cutting edge of their craft. And cross-compatibility delivers a seamless user experience that keeps evolving as the Elgato ecosystem grows.
Elgato was founded in 1999. In 2018, Corsair Gaming, Inc., acquired the brand and its employees. Based in Germany and California, Elgato distributes products in over seventy-five countries around the world.
Thank you so much, Elgato. We're beginning to suspect that you might actually be wizards!
That's right, we're still firing on all ripcords here on Night Watch!
The Night Watch Beyblade Rip-Off International started out hot and only gets hotter. That's friction, baby!
Here's what the brackets look like:
Tonight's Beybladers:
- Logan (Wriggle Kraken)
- Jordynne (Sterling Wolf // "Losing Dogs") AND Bonus Jordynne (Sting Unicorn)
- Max (Keel Shark)
- Adzy (Wand Wizard // "JunkRabbit")
- Dan (Wolf Antler)
Good luck, have fun, and don't forget your eyepro!
Desert Bus for Hope may have monsters and mythos galore, but you know what we're missing? A map! For tonight's creative challenge, we're asking you for an atlas-worthy rendering of what Desert Bus might look like as a place.
Decide what that means to you, draw it in the medium of your choice, and then submit it as a .jpg (no bigger than 1920 x 1080 p, please!) to contests@desertbus.org with subject line "Desert Bus map". The winning entrant will receive the physical manifestation of hype that is the Desert Bus loot box!
The deadline for submissions is 10:30 pm PST. We look forward to finding our place in the world!
Oozing with style, panache, and some other, secret third thing, it's Night Watch!
Between mildly endangering our eyeballs with Beyblades and turning our aging millennial guts inside out with ice cream, we're gonna have a real great time.
