I'm Getting My First Cat Soon And Naming Him Stanley

Curator design let's go

Hello, hello! Welcome to The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe Whiteboard Collaboration (a just-for-fun fan project)! I’m assuming that you found your way here because you’re well aware what The Stanley Parable is, and that you are curious to know what a Whiteboard Collaboration might be about!

Let me cut straight to the case then. It all started in 2023 - the 27th of April, to be precise - which just so happened to be the One Year Anniversary for the release of The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe on Steam and consoles, along with the historically very important and internationally renowned - or at the very least grudgingly accepted - 4/27: STANLEY DAY!

To celebrate the occasion, and only one day too late on the 28th, an idea came forth to put together a Whiteboard, containing all those Stanleys by all the fan artists out there (all credited, of course!), a worthy tribute to the Man of the Hour! And as you can see… we’ve already got quite a few collected!

But why stop there? Since plenty of people also came up with their own Narrator designs, and there’s a good few Timekeeper-Settings-432s and Curators, we might as well give them their own little space to look absolutely dashing next to each other! Imagine, all those different designs, united in one glorious collection!

My point being… I’d love to see yours in there as well.

So… how can you join in?

The gist can be found up there in the first image, but let me also put it into text form down here, with some extra information:

Submit your Stanley, Narrator, 432 or Curator mugshot (or all of them at the same time!). The format of the picture needs to be 300px (width) x 400px (height) to fit with the others. I can resize and cut them into shape if needed, but it’ll be easier on all of us if I don’t have to do that. All pictures will have a small white frame added by me afterwards, to make them look like printouts.

Should the Submit button not work for you (I triple-checked and it works for me, but then who knows what this thing does while I’m not looking), sending your artworks through PM is fine as well!

AUs and all art styles are fine! Please only submit one picture per character (if you have more than one design, maybe pick your favorite, or elegantly squeeze them into one picture. If you absolutely cannot decide, sending two pictures per character is okay, but I’d like to cap it there to give everyone equal amounts of space.

Must be Safe For Work!

This is also very important: Tell me how to credit you! Your name will go under your artwork, I do have to put something there. I’ll likely default to your username if I have nothing else to go by, but it’s best if you directly tell me, right there in your submission.

I will publish your submission(s) on here as soon as I’ve added it to the collection, so you’ll know it went through okay, and so you can show it around to others if you wish! (I can’t do that with PMs, of course.)

There’s currently no deadline, but I might eventually want to wrap it up when submissions stop coming in. In fact, I really don’t want to do this for the rest of my life. But yes, for now, no rush. I’ll tell you when you should start panicking.

I give updates regularily. Previews of the latest Whiteboard statuses, questions that need answering, sometimes I might just add some nonsense rambles, all inclusive, for free.

The FINAL files, whenever they’re ready, will be 8000x4000px in size each and are mostly a much bigger version of the previews, with maybe a few small changes for the aesthetics.That’s quite massive. Humongous. It’s really impressive to browse all those artworks next to each other at that size. I will provide a link to them when the time has come, for all to download and share around. Not quite sure yet where to best put them. Considering Google Drive for now, but feel free to make suggestions if there’s better options, or if you can’t drive the Google.

I currently also post on Twitter and the Crows Crows Crows Discord server (fanart channel). If either of those are more comfortable options for you, or if you know someone on there who might also be interested in joining this collaboration, maybe poke me so I can give you directions. Or you might be able to find it yourself, I’m not actively hiding them away. Not even passively.

I think that’s all for now! If you have questions, suggestions, reservations, my Asks should be open. Looking forward to hopefully a lot more additions to the Whiteboards, there’s quite a few of you guys I’d loooove to see on there!

good: stanley uses ASL to communicate with the narrator

canon-compliant: the narrator can read stanley's thoughts

funny: stanley does not sign and the narrator cannot read his thoughts so he just glares at the ceiling

hysterical: stanley uses ASL and is actively trying to communicate with the narrator, who does not understand him because he only recognizes BSL

a new identity

My binder keeping my chest visible so my family doesn't comment on it: :]

Wondering if I should face reveal 👀

Obviously not mine but also funny as hell

Wow I haven't drawn in quite a bit

thee literal funniest thing in season 2 is the implication that crowley didnt realise he was romantically involved with aziraphale until that conversation with nina. we all thought he'd been playing the long game waiting for aziraphale to catch up we all thought no way is he not aware of what's going on between them that's been our collective understanding of crowley's motivations for years now but no apparently he just walked on hallowed ground and ran into a burning building and tried drinking himself to death and stopped time and fought literal actual satan himself risking total annihilation for aziraphale because that's what best friends do. platonically. apparently

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.
