Whatsapp Go Stickers

I've finally managed to organize my scattered Go meme collection, but now here it is. In essence, the main stars of this collection are:

• Aragaki Shun 9p: his facial expressions are priceless, truly worthy of being one of the Go Meme Saints. The specific images here are taken out of a game he played against Terayama Rei 5p in the 64th NHK Cup.
• Cho Chikun 9p: the OG Go Meme Saint, (in)famous for his teasuji.
• Nestor de la Palissade: the OG French Go meme. You might know him from his chef d'oeuvre: Get Strong at Gote. I've written an article in Portuguese about him .
• Shut Up and Sit Down: one of the best board game channels and websites out there. Their reviews are quality content and very entertaining. They've even ventured into making a review of Go...

I've also managed to create Telegram packs:

• Cho Chikun Goodness
• Aragaki Shun Magic
• Tsumegos
• Other Go Memes
• Famous Go Positions
• Nestor de la Palissade

You can download all of the stickers , in a zip file.

Besides collecting the images, in order to create the stickers I've also:

• used GIMP — free and open source software — to mask everything except the important parts of the images with transparency — I know, I know, not world class work.
• cropped and resized canvases in order for them to fit Whatsapp requirements.
• used the Sticker Maker app to create the final package, which is imported by Whatsapp. I wish Whatsapp had an easier way of dealing with this step because these sticker creation apps are simply ad plagues, this one specifically is thankfully the least worst.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have improvements on this collection, I'll gladly update it here and share it with others, with respective acknowledgment, of course.

I've also created a gif and a video with Aragaki Shun's memes:

If you would like to look at or download the images individually, here they are, simple pngs which could be used elsewhere, not only on Whatsapp:

There's also my "tewari scream" from , which also happens to be :
