What if your general was not just a general but a nation, devoted to your oshi and their will? Enter this general where the fanbases and generals of /vt/ are reimagined as rival nations fighting bitter battles or beginning wholesome friendships for the glory of their oshis.

Updated Ankimo again before adding him or the Holo Triangle to the rentry. Slimmed him down and added a second star to each arm to reflect them being longer than his legs. The one larger-than-average star is supposed to represent his bowtie. I wanted his head to be only one star but it's just too big and I already emphasized the bowtie, so two stars for the head was necessary. I'm having trouble thinking of what to put in for the "notes" for either, but I suppose I can simply leave those as n/a and upload them as-is.
No progress on Reinhardt or Lanius. Wanted to wait until feedback on whether my ideas for them (Heroes map sprite for the former, pic from the initial WARpost for the latter) were good reference choices. I am open to alternatives if anyone here would prefer something else for either. I've also been thinking of approaching the Suisei thread for permission to incorporate a hypothetical axe constellation (as well as lore about a well-known comet passing through it with some regularity, an act that is seen as a sign to wage bloody war) but part of me wants to wait until the stuff representing /here/ is accounted for.

The "Notes" bit refers to one of the sections of the template that all constellations follow when they're in the rentry. Using picrel as an example,
####The Holo Triangle
>Location
Absolute north
>Identified By
Holo Imperials
>Notes
Also known as "Northern Triangle" and "Blue Dorito". The center of the main triangle is situated directly above Viti's north pole, though there is some debate over whether the "center" in question is the incenter, circumcenter, centroid, or orthocenter.
>>109011832
Constantly been unsure whether it would be more appropriate to have a constellation of a joshu or a jar of mayo. Your thoughts?
>>109018052
Will the usual landing spaces be able to accommodate the new ship? Also, what are the salary and other perks that come with being a crewmate? Have people already applied or is Baker-chan waiting until the ship comes in?

In /morig/, airships work a bit differently. Instead of being filled with lighter-than-air gas or hot air to float, they are filled with normal air, but the skin is covered in a runic enchantment which cools down the air around the balloon. This makes this air get denser relative to the warmer air inside the balloon, increasing the latter's buoyancy and propelling it upwards. Some large such airships often leave a curtain of vapor behind them as they travel due to this effect.

I like your ideas for the two /vtwbg/ constellations. Specifically, the front angle on lanius with the two horns and plumage crown seem like they could be stylized into a nicely recognizable constellation.

Speaking of divegrass, it's that time of year once again and preparations for the tenth iteration of the vtl are now officially underway! If you would like to see /vtwbg/ participate then make sure you reply to this post to show your support. We are also now taking suggestions for roster changes, so if you have any ideas for new players then let us know!

Here's my first attempt at it. Larger stars are the glowing eye and the palm and first finger joints of the left hand, while smaller-than-average stars are the arm in the background and the cape (but only the ones near the foreground hand, in order to contrast those stars).
####Reinhardt, the Mage
>Location

If no revision is needed, I can add it straight away. So let me know if there's anything that seems off or in need of changes in the image or description!

And here's the Lanius constellation! Not sure who I should put down as having identified it, current thought is to mark it as "unknown". Will likely place it in the northern subtropic. Small stars are the broken horn, the non-mustache parts of the beard, and the narrow vertical part of the helm. Large stars are the intact horn and the mustache. Not as satisfied with this one, maybe make the crest stars bigger or include those forehead peg things? Add another pair of mustache stars to connect them to the "mouth/nose" star?

this one really captures that constellation thing of not seeing it until you look at the original thing again, kino
>>109048535
beaut, I like all the features. I think you could maybe disrupt the symmetry a little bit? maybe one or two stars missing from one side and not the other, and a few of them being a bit moved.

I think the plume is getting to me. That and the "beard" seem important for framing, but I'm finding it tricky to show them without making them "obvious" (don't want an obvious un-disrupted arc for either). Putting one of the three vertical stars directly near the plume may be a way to help that at least. I was tempted to get rid of the broken horn, but op mentioned "both horns", so I settled for narrowing the plume and lowering the intact horn instead. Open to further suggestions to improve it, like removing the new "mustache" stars or reducing the amount of stars in the plume.
>>109050504
Speaking as the one who's been working on the constellations, I'd like to say that although I'm flattered by the suggestion (and I can see how it could be easily implemented: just make a pitch-black model, put white dots in the appropriate places, and then add thin lines to connect them), I'd like to make a counter-suggestion of including something from Loreli, like Baker-chan, the tunnel-bore, or the airship stuff. If there's room for more than one new player I won't mind a constellation player joining them, but something from Loreli should have higher priority imo. That's been going on a lot longer than what I've been cooking just these past few weeks.
>>
>>109055249
I think that worked nicely! Another part of constellations is that in the actual sky you have smaller stars in the background that aren't part of the constellation so with those I think this would pass convincingly.
Hmm, we actually have a very long history with airships, so that could be fun. Could even just be an addition to the lore of vt cuisine model.

Dodo meat is best grilled, sautéed, or stewed because it's got a lot of juice in it. Not exactly good omelet meat unless you use leftover pre-cooked meat. Which if you are then you want to use it in omirice along with leftover fried rice with onion, green bellpepper, dried chili pepper flakes, and some honey.

Made a few more constellations, looking for input on a few things.
I'm generally satisfied with the Clover. Idea is for it to be the South Constellation, like how the Holo Triangle is the North Constellation. Notes on it include the mention that the stars making up the "stem" are often left out. Ready to put it in the Compendium, but I feel I should run it by you guys first.
The Bardiche is meant to represent the Suisei and/or Micomet threads. When I have the opportunity (don't have the time for it at the moment), I will present it to the relevant threads and consult them for feedback. Same for the constellation on the right and /lig/.
Circled stars I'm thinking of omitting. On the left, they represent the "face" on the inside of the axe's blade. On the right, they're Doctor Manhattan's ass.
The boxed-in stars I intend to keep, but I'm iffy about the size. The proton is 5px but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have stars that big. Looking for input on that. If I do reduce it to 4px, the electron will be reduced to 3px. If 5px stars are acceptable, I may or may not change the "star" star at the base of the Bardiche's handle to that size given that it's supposed to represent a star.
The three constellations in their current state can be found in https://rentry.org/pending-constellations with the additional categories of "Reference", "Star Sizes", and "Status and Concerns". These three will be provided in addition to the first three of "Location", "Identified By", and "Notes". Something that caught my attention is that maybe I should change "Notes" to "Lore". yes/no?
By the way, I have added the Holo Triangle, Reinhardt, and Lanius to the compendium proper. I haven't posted a direct link to it in this specific thread, but I probably should do it every iteration where I'm not on vacation or otherwise afk for a long time. Well, better nate than lever!

>the clover
there's our small dipper, nice
The bardiche also looks pretty sick, the group forming the blade is cool and natural-feeling.
I don't think the 5 pixel-sized star is too big, looks fine to me, maybe it'd fit in better with more stars in the intermediate sizes?
I'm seeing the two circled stars as Manhattan's radioactive cock, but I'm not sure that's the intent. Humorous in either case.
Also, compendium looks good! + to changing Notes to Lore, more lore is always good, even if it's just a section title.
