Hi friend!

We don't have any specific demands when it comes to that department but the character will be shown on the home page behind the search bar so keep that in mind when generating.

Regards

I made a silly little tool that lets you preview an image as the homepage background:

Mascot Test Page

I made sure to add a disclaimer that it's unofficial and not a real page, and you can also check out the source code with the 'Edit in JS Bin' button in the top right, to check that there's no funny business going on, but if you want me to delete it, let me know!

That's actually vary Handy! Much appreciated!

Cool!
A resize option would be nice, since 4k images are a bit too large here when used in original resolution.

Sorry, image manipulation is a bit "out of scope" for this very simple tool. It just displays the image as it would with the original CSS rules of the real page. I don't want to mess with the CSS to adjust the display scaling, because then it wouldn't be a faithful preview.

However, I have added the ability to paste images, meaning you should be able to just Ctrl-C-Ctrl-V from your image editing tool into the page without having to save it first.

Mods didn’t give us any real requirements, just a bunch of useless “recommendations.”
I say we ignore them and make whatever mascot we want.
You can’t tell us what to do, mods!

This isn’t just about winning the mascot contest.
It’s about creating the most unhinged, unsettling mascot that still get a mascot status.
Just like this: https://e6ai.net/posts/120596
Will my picture pass? No clue, that’s why I’m calling on everyone to give it their all.

I’m altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.

Thank you everyone for all the amazing entries in the mascot contest!

We're blown away by the creativity, effort, and personality you brought to your designs! We’ll be picking several winners soon, so keep an eye on the start page!

"Soon" as in several hours, or several days?

It might take a few days to organize and select winners so have some patience with us :)

And like that all the winning submissions are live on the site!

Congratulations to all the winners but most of all THANK YOU to everyone who participated. We are completely blown away by all the amazing submissions and picking winners was not an easy task.

We can only hope that there won't be too much backlash regarding the artist styles that have been used for some of the mascot images.

Oh man, I thought Joe420 would win

It is a really great submission! Trust me when I say it was really hard to narrow it down and pick winners when in reality we wanted to add pretty much all of them.

question for next time: will the date be the same for 2026? is the white background mandatory?
