Again, some new promotions.
No new staff members thistime, since we are quite adapt lot allready, but its nice to increase the premium and elite-membership base now and then; christmass was proper time for it in my opinion.
Anyways,
Whyme and
Bezobrasov are now elite members, place reserved for the shipbucket's greatest talents and founding elders. Reasons are pretty obvious,
Bezobrasov has brougth whole lotta new enthustiasm into the bucket, and most importantly in shape of almost over-detailing passion towards shipbuilding, maritime history and general naval knowledge that suites all well in such introvented and pedantic community as shipbucket
His also shown great example in terms of AU creations that should set the standard for everyone.
Whyme in otherhand has been the recent work-horse of the bucket, providing standard flow of the many gems out there still not drawn, ranging from world navies across the globe, with good portion from older ships from older times. He has also taken the overal style of Shipbucket ahead and maintained perfect balance between the very basic elements of pixel arts simplicity that makes his work easily admirable. Even I have begun adapting some ways of his drawing style!!
And premium members needs new blood when people rises up in ranks...
Jabba and
Rowdy36 are now (one could say finaly, since they were candinates in the last round as well) taken up into this ranks as a reward of their steady and impressive work among the ships and pixels, and becouse of similar dedication,
Acelancelot is also re-raised back to this membership class
Congratulations to all promoted one (this naturally means we expect 200% imput from you now
) and let them set examples to the others to pursuit when the next round of upgrades and promotions comes around
