[Read the article for all the details about this part of the update!]


[read the Day 1 of this update here! https://gamejolt.com/p/art-weeklies-v2-update-art-weeklies-re-day-1-dynamic-themes-r-i2a6jjaz]

The RE stands for REborn!

After months in the planning/works, I (AnubiArts) am excited to finally reveal the v2 update for Art Weeklies, Art Weeklies:RE! This update will make big changes to some aspects of the Art Weeklies Community/Account. Keep reading to find out what Day 2 changes bring to the table!


What? You thought that the Themes was the only thing changing?

We're introducing other things with this update too! Starting with...

Weekly Spotlight

Every friday, along with the reveal of the new themes, a piece based on the last weeklies will be moved to this new channel, highlighting the best of the weeklies! This channel will be on-top of all the 5 original channels.

(This channel will start being active once the next weeklies are finished)

A New Face

Wiksy will be taking some time off, so they will be replaced by a brand new character representing the Weeklies going forward... Y-Moton!

Y-Moton is an optimistic robot, always smiling and seeing the good side of things. They will replace all the places where Wiksy is currently located at (Including Community/Account Icon.)

New Looks!

Y-Moton is coming up with some brand new graphics for the Art Weeklies community! All of these (including Y-Moton) change from the yellow/black combo to a blueish color ramp.

Since Y-Moton is a robot, it just seemed fitting that the new graphics are pixel-based! But don't worry, this doesn't mean that only pixel art will be allowed from now on! As always, any art medium (except AI and NFTs/Blockchain projects) is allowed to participate.

Here's a comparison between old and new artworks for the community!

You might have noticed something with these new banners (other than they're complete pieces now). The channel banners' main points are centered now, that way they can fit better in the mobile banners at the GameJolt App. Due to this, the text in those banners was removed in the new versions.

Other Changes

  • The FAQ and Welcome posts will be slightly updated to reflect these new changes.

  • The format at which new weeklies are presented in the main post and article will be changed.

TL;DR Patch Notes of the changes of this day:

  • Added Weekly Spotlight to the channel list.

  • This channel will feature one of the best submissions of the Weeklies. Updated every friday, along with the theme reveal.

  • Wiksy took some time off, so a new character, Y-Moton will take their place!

  • Y-Moton will be featured in the Art Weeklies Community/Profile Icon, along with a few other places.

  • Changed the graphics of ALL the Art Weeklies banners, with brand new pixel designs.

  • Updated the community/profile color of Art Weeklies, from yellow to blueish.

See you tomorrow!

Just gonna drop this here, I'm the only one setting up these posts and I'm in a bad place mentally rn.

So, I'm sorry for the delay.

Just gonna drop this theme idea here: Try a new artstyle. Try doing something different you haven't done before.

As you examine your surroundings, you discover New Themes in places that should be impossible.

-The Talos Principle

-Vegetables

-Non-Euclidean

Welp, sorry that I'm late but here is my entry for #ArtWeeklies theme Rebirth.

After watching Zombie Land Saga I decided I wanted to draw one of the girls and decided for Tae Yamada aka 0 ^^

We May be a little late to ask, but what's your favorite thing about Spring?

As with last time, you might be seeing your comments (credited) in the themes over the next few weeks!

-Art by @ClapRose

Here are Toffee & Giot's 2025 reference sheets, I'm not very happy with Toffee's colors but there was an attempt.

I guess people like @StripesJ might be better at this since the color pallet is yellow & green.

He looks like a gardener qwp

These New Themes didn't fall far from the tree! Gathering them, you find they are...

-The Bunny Graveyard

-Apple Tree(s)

Rebirth... Death making life in new form. My goddess: Providence, considers it a part of existence. All will be purged in holy fire and born again. Into a new, pure body as if you were never tainted to begin with. #terraria #digitalart #artweekly

Someone just sneezed some New Themes on you. Gross! We're very sorry!
