[silk bolt]

when is the next contest?

[gray igloo]

never

[compact saddle]

so true

[silk bolt]

Sad

Gonna leave the server

[compact saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/hang-first-time-smiles-gif-14991372

[silver merlin]

pretty soon

[weary pagoda]

We decided waiting one month each time would fit best to preserve the contests' integrity /j

[wind matrix]

make it three months

[thick atlas]

[wind topaz]

Mob contest

https://tenor.com/view/mob-psycho-shy-thinking-cute-pretty-gif-6179454

[cedar quest]

(like within the next week guarantee)

[wind topaz]

So expect it Saturday of next week

[cedar quest]

(....earlier)

[tiny trellis]

Friday evening

[gray igloo]

friday night

[thorn robin]

Funkin

[cedar quest]

((y'all ain't getting anymore outta me aftha this, but....earlier than that too ))

[wind topaz]

In 5 minutes

[cedar quest]

[wind topaz]

[cedar quest]

((Uhhhhh.... huh, I could've swore it was....)))

((No, no it def is))

[cedar quest]

I mean, when you put it like that....

that's one's also wrong.....

because it's actually rn

What? Did you expect me to grow up and have no jokes????

[crisp cargo]

if there's no tangrowth/golurk somewhere I'll be disappointed

[scarlet gust]

feel like tangrowth will be popular

[craggy remnant]

i got some ideas im gonna try to pull off but i doubt i’ll get something done since im doing artfight 😅

[gray igloo]

Ah that's very little time actually

[cedar quest]

It's 1 week, can probably extend a lil' bit, since in truth....I just threw out that number 😅

[craggy remnant]

oh i just realized i could maybe make a sandslash/farfetchd fusion i drew a year ago for this prompt

i probably won’t but the possibility is there

[thick atlas]

if it fits the overgrown theme, sure go for it

[craggy remnant]

it might, ill see if i can find the art and maybe u guys can lemme know if it might fit

i’ll be changing some stuff like the grass on the head

[naive summit]

I have ideas but not sure if I'll do any of em by deadline hmm

[wind matrix]

I forsee a lot of grass fusions

[solar garden]

If only barbaracle was in game

I had a good idea for something covered in barnacles

[naive summit]

I do too, but hoping to see some more interesting takes maybe utilizing the second definition of overgrown (that being more size-oriented, as in something grew much larger than average)

or maybe something with overgrown wool, hair or fur 👀

definitely some options other than plants n vines n stuff, though that'll probs be a lot of the main focus

[weary pagoda]

Using IF-only pokémon is recommended, but there's no rule against using ones outside of the game. You can make a sprite of Barbaracle and it would still be valid as an entry.

[naive summit]

are collabs allowed?

[terse acorn]

Theme sounds really cool, i think I'll submit a fusion, a good opportunity to get back into spriting again

[cedar quest]

Wai- wha? 👀

[wind matrix]

uses a fakeamon

[compact saddle]

that is highly interesting

[cedar quest]

Agreed, especially considering it hit me like a 16 wheeler

[compact saddle]

you deal with it :TR:

damn rip nitro

[median heron]

Wait

Any pokemon?

[craggy remnant]

MORELULL TIME

[silver merlin]

since when did we agree on this lmao

[thick atlas]

this has been all the time

for as long as i can remember

[silver merlin]

(no)

[wind matrix]

Someone's in trouble

[thick atlas]

well this one was in the contest

and the convention regarding the name was just to write the name instead of the number

[silver merlin]

xoto that was in 2020 lol

it got changed in 2021

[thick atlas]

maybe i wasnt that active around that time

[silver merlin]

probably

[thick atlas]

is it written anywhere?

[silver merlin]

charlotte probably said in it one of her messages

[thick atlas]

did you edit that?

i think you copied it from charlotte

however this suggests that you are able to submit fusions with pokemon outside IF

how many entries are allowed?

[silver merlin]

ask the other two

[gray igloo]

Wait so if a person with a non if sprite wins, how do we explain the server icon?

[thick atlas]

"that sprite won the contest"

[gray igloo]

I guess that works

[thorn robin]

the server icon was for a long time mr.mime/glalie... and glalie isn't in the game so

[foggy reef]

how many submissions do we have?

[silver merlin]

we should probably have proof read that text before gamr send it 🚎

problem is it was literally midnight for me so

lmao

[gray igloo]

It is?

[compact saddle]

hopefully yall have bigger brains like skeln

[thick atlas]

keep it nice

[weary pagoda]

Just thought

was a thing

It won a contest

[thick atlas]

also true

maybe you talked about it as contest managers but never published it?

[weary pagoda]

I don't think we did

The question is "should contests contribute to the game?"

"Double Troubl- Triple?" did, but "From 1 to 151" didn't

[thick atlas]

iirc that was the initial idea. but its all about having fun, too

[weary pagoda]

Yeah.

Well I'm not sure. Thing is, even if we haven't talked about it, I don't think we would disqualify a non-IF mon if it follows the rules.

[umbral sedge]

For undisclosed reasons, I don't mind the contests encompassing non-IF Pokemon at all

[weary pagoda]

I would still recommend to make IF-friendly fusions, but if IF mons give you literally no idea, that could lead to just not entering, which is worse for us than having a non-IF fusion, that after all doesn't change much about the process.

[foggy reef]

I think imma have one if fusion and a cool one B)

[quartz locust]

That was also 2020. 😂

I think I'd personally prefer them it to be IF-only, if only because people can use the winning fusions in-game that way. I see that as cooler than being the server icon for a week. 🙂

[cedar quest]

I knew I forgot something

[thick atlas]

its ok. we all forget something from time to time

[cedar quest]

Let's say 5.

[silk bolt]

Can someone give me details about what we have to do in the current contest?

I didn't understand

[thick atlas]

make a fusion that fits the theme "overgrown"

[cedar quest]

Yeah

[thick atlas]

so maybe something like this from tenedranox

[cedar quest]

((I'm not even gonna lie, when writing the flavor text, that was what sat in my mind))

[silver merlin]

(we could tell)

[cedar quest]

Honestly would be down to come back to the "Ruined World" idea later, might do something with it

[silver merlin]

we can do it for sure

[silk bolt]

OK I want to do a birb

[thick atlas]

have fun

[silk bolt]

This custom was insane I'll use it

By overgrown, there is not only grass?

[thick atlas]

can be anything

[severe dust]

hair can be overgrown 🚎

[thick atlas]

who made it?

better ask them cos contests are different than just making normal sprites

[severe dust]

yee
some people dont like it when their sprites are used for contests

er'

bases

[silk bolt]

You're right I'll ask him

I have plenty of ideas for this contest I hope I will have enough time

Absolutely no effort I'll try to do something better 😂

I'll try something similar to this but with pidgeot

[terse acorn]

Since i didn't see it mentioned I'll ask here, how many fusions can i submit?

[silk bolt]

5

[terse acorn]

Ah i just saw it was updated, good to know, thanks

[silk bolt]

Np have fun

[silver merlin]

woah guys guess ill submit this brand new sprite i just did

[umbral sedge]

pog brand new sprite

[cedar quest]

I think I just had my idea

[gray igloo]

My idea

[dawn ivy]

Overgrow

1. To grow over with herbage or foliage.

2. To grow beyond or too large for.

3. To grow beyond normal or usual size.

4. To become grown over, as with unwanted vegetation or weeds.

Is the official meaning/translation, but as others said hair or parts can also count (as we're free to interpret is as we like)

[cedar quest]

Yeah it can go a lot further than grass

[scarlet gust]

mosss : )

[cedar quest]

If you're solely focused on the plant aspect, you could go with roots, mosses, forests, vines, or just take any plant and jumbo size it.

But you can still go further than that, it's all interpretation

[gray igloo]

Hair

[quartz locust]

Even huge plants like G-Max Venusaur would count as overgrown, I imagine. 😄

[cedar quest]

I'd say so

[severe dust]

wrong

Overgrow - /ˌōvərˈɡrō/

1. Powers up Grass-type moves when the Pokémon's HP is low.

[misty acorn]

Actually started working on a sprite

Let's see if I can finish it tomorrow, cuz I will definetly not come back to it once xenoblade is out

[dawn ivy]

[cedar quest]

Just use a grass starter, ez

[silk bolt]

Thx emy for the explanation

[umbral sedge]

/ˌōvərˈɡrō/
I can't help but pronounce it with a heavy japanese accent when I read that

[wet flax]

Overgrowth is the sequel to Lugaru, a 3D action game made by the same company. As before, the player character is Turner, an anthropomorphic rabbit with combat skills. The game plays as a 3D third-person action game, set in a pre-industrial world of anthropomorphic fighter rabbits, wolves, dogs, cats and rats.

[molten field]

obeguro

[glossy wagon]

Ohh this contest seems neat maybe I’ll make one this time around

[solar garden]

Give me a pokemon to fuse with barbaracle

And then one to fuse with lileep

[normal dock]

Raichu and Lycanroc

[median basin]

Golem
Hydreigon

[solar garden]

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-monkey-puppet-meme-awkward-gif-15268759

[solar garden]

That sounds good

[normal dock]

not bias at all

Anyway good luck with whatever you do

[solar garden]

I may do paras/raichu

[normal dock]

Mushroom raichu pogger

[solar garden]

Time for more customs😔

[normal dock]

It happens

[solar garden]

If I wanna become a spriter legend gotta get on the grind😤

[valid wagon]

i have faith

[solar garden]

Golem is lacking in good possible customs

[normal dock]

You are good already so you definitely got this

[wind matrix]

whalord

[severe dust]

chikorita/lileep

[cedar quest]

HAHA! YES! I still have this, take that you saboteur!!!

It took me forever to find it though, but thank god I still do 😄

....wait no that's the birthday comp one

Curse you, you saboteur!!!!! :(

I do have the GHT from that contest though, so probably could rebuild that drive with a bit of help

[naive summit]

Might not be a bad idea to change the editing permissions from "anyone with the link" to "restricted" once a contest ends so other people can't edit it after submissions have finished

[cedar quest]

Probably would be good to start

[outer prism]

hm

might do a Tangrowth/Golurk for tthis

[cedar quest]

Do ittttt

[terse acorn]

This is gonna be my second time i use Snorlax for a contest fusion, hope it goes well

[gray igloo]

I will not be able to finish my sprite for this

[thick atlas]

did you post it to #spriting-discussion ?

[thick atlas]

@silver merlin i have a sketch, thats 1 year old. can i make it a sprite for the contest?

[silver merlin]

show it and ill tell you 🚎

[gray igloo]

Not yet

[thick atlas]

do you have an answer without 🚎 ? 👀

[silver merlin]

(it means yes)

show me the sketch still

[silver merlin]

LMAO nice fusion you got there

[thick atlas]

are collabs allowed?

[silver merlin]

<@&641801785618726956> are they

[weary pagoda]

👀

Yes

[cedar quest]

If that was known to meh, would'uve listed that in the beginning 😅

[carmine roost]

o golly I didn't even know there was a contest goin on

[cedar quest]

Guess I'm bad at my job then, huh?

[carmine roost]

naw

I just don't pay attention

[wind matrix]

you have to dm Boring when a contest starts

[thick atlas]

everybody knows that

[wind topaz]

Boring contest next

…wait

[wind matrix]

I love boring into rocks! I'm sure to win!

[wind topaz]

What?

[compact saddle]

nooo repeated theme

[wind matrix]

https://jjboring.com/services/rock-boring/#:~:text=Rock boring is a trenchless,without disturbing the surface infrastructure.

[terse acorn]

Soo uhh

I might have thought the contest ends on the 8th

Not sure if I'll finish it by tomorrow

[severe dust]

f

[glossy wagon]

just don't work/go to school/do useful things tomorrow ez

[wind matrix]

just don't do things that are required to live

[terse acorn]

I finished highschool 3 months ago, I'm at my freest time ever

I'm just a lazy sack of potatoes, that's the problem

[gray igloo]

Wait a second, it isn't ending on the 8th?

[terse acorn]

It uses the weird American type of date

Where the month is the first then the day

[gray igloo]

Ah

[terse acorn]

Yeah it bamboozled me too

[gray igloo]

Man

[terse acorn]

If you want we can Collab to help each other finish before it ends

[quaint sky]

What hour is for the host of the event?

[silver merlin]

💰
(motivation)

[thick atlas]

money ruins everything

[compact saddle]

yes omg i would be so ruined by having money and not needing to emergency commission to help my fam

[thick atlas]

scrapi take a nap

[compact saddle]

🗿

[thick atlas]

if your family needs help in form of money then money ruined something for them too

[compact saddle]

ok european man with a stable job

[thick atlas]

im sorry

[wind matrix]

of course, the poor need money, because money's ruined them

[tall moss]

i need to make a sprite for the contest

[thick atlas]

yes

[thorn robin]

I need to make another one maybe

Wanted to use a mon that isn't in if

But i think that there is a really close mon in if

[compact saddle]

what if you used trevenant

or falinks "overgrown group"

[terse acorn]

Now that i know i can use more then IF sprites for the contest i can't wait for the next one

[cedar quest]

Overgrown Population is an awesome take on the theme, might be able to do something with Kangaskan

(It's not cheating if I say this....right??

[silver merlin]

sure do wonder where scrapi got that idea from

🇧🇷

[crisp cargo]

kangaskhan/dugtrio

[quartz locust]

Dugtrio / Dugtrio. 😂

[molten field]

DugNovo

[thick atlas]

not just less than 3 hours?

lets do it

[cedar quest]

Nah mate, 48 hour was done at 3:20 my time

And...I added a tad bit extra,since I'll be at work at that OG time

[compact saddle]

thank you for that coincidence

[glossy wagon]

I like a lot of the entries for this contest

[gray igloo]

Yeah

[compact saddle]

i like 3 (mine)

🚎

[weary pagoda]

We've hit the 20 entries, congrats guys

[cedar quest]

If this was a sponsored, probably would do some bonuses

Oh, well....Guess I save it for September

[compact saddle]

@thick atlas you exceed the entry limit

oh wait

i thought it was 3 💀

sadly cant make another one rn, any entry for this contest is really high effort in my concept of the theme

[thick atlas]

im living on th edge

[compact saddle]

you edgy

[gray igloo]

One is a collab

[compact saddle]

i had a cool fusion idea but im too tired to make it

plus theres no time

carnivine/basculegion

[normal dock]

Damn I would love to see that

[thick atlas]

did someone delete the sprites?

[weary pagoda]

Yes, me

I'm a complete and utter dumbass
I wanted to click on download and accidentally misclicked on delete

[thick atlas]

crazy skeln

[weary pagoda]

So now I'm trying to recover all the sprites

If you see some of yours missing, please put them in again

I'm really sorry

[cedar quest]

Best thing to do is stay calm, no worries about it

[thick atlas]

ye

[cedar quest]

Worse case situ, we add a day to the contest

[thick atlas]

can you recover more?

seems like you upload other sprites

[cedar quest]

The saving grace is I got a list of what was deleted, makes the process easier.

[weary pagoda]

Whenever I see a sprite from the contest that was posted in spritework I put it back

[cedar quest]

And before you ask, sadly those from the list don't open

[thick atlas]

that wasnt the version i submitted tho

[cedar quest]

Wait...really???

[glossy wagon]

re-upped mine at least

[cedar quest]

(It def is?)

[weary pagoda]

Then please upload it

[misty acorn]

Shouldnt drive have a function where you can just go backwards to before you deleted the sprites?

[weary pagoda]

Same for the other sprites, I can't find them all in spritework

[weary pagoda]

Only works for your own sprites

[thick atlas]

im already in bed

[weary pagoda]

Damn, the contest will have to wait a bit then
I'm sincerely sorry

[thick atlas]

how would you know by the name?

[cedar quest]

I wish!!!! I wouldn't be so upset about the GamR's Love More Deluxe! drive

[weary pagoda]

We should find another way to submit sprites maybe

Literally anyone can delete all the sprites just as I did

[cedar quest]

Because it shows that this is the original folder I created

[glossy wagon]

a google form or something maybe

dunno if there's something extra you have to do for that to allow file attachments tho

[cedar quest]

I....don't know either 😅

But this type of stuff has been an issue lately, we're gonna have to try and find stuff other than Drive

[misty acorn]

Just make a channel where people can post sprites in and that gets whiped clean after the contest

[glossy wagon]

at least for this one we know everybody who submitted, so y'all might just want to poke them individually to check the folder to make sure all their stuff is there

[cedar quest]

That's our current plan.

[thick atlas]

good night guys. i upload my stuff tomorrow

[weary pagoda]

Good night

And again I would like to apologise for creating this mess

[misty acorn]

Skeln be like:

https://tenor.com/view/eliminate-gif-4899317

[weary pagoda]

I think the list doesn't show everything
There was 23 entries

[weary pagoda]

My mood literally switched from 😀 to

Imma make an announcement

[compact saddle]

sent the one that went missing from me

[weary pagoda]

Don't forget to add the name

[compact saddle]

yes i did say its by skel

but also i updated other sprites that had an older version uploaded, for some reason

(of mine)

[naive summit]

Sucks that google drive doesn't have a basic version history for files that aren't specifically your own

[compact saddle]

i hope some mfs dont upload old sprites

[weary pagoda]

Yeah
Drive provides no protection for deleting stuff, we will have to find a better way to gather entries without taking the risk of having someone delete them, accidentally or not.

[naive summit]

What about a google form?

Allows people to submit their things, without giving them editing access of the submissions + there's an easy way to link it to a google sheet so submissions automatically get spit out there

[weary pagoda]

Sounds like the best option yes

We could technically still host a drive, but put the submissions ourselves and block access to anyone else

[naive summit]

oh wait so uh

what forms do when you have file submissions is automatically funnel them into a drive folder

kinda nifty

[weary pagoda]

Oooooh

[naive summit]

never really fiddled with that aspect of forms but seems like a decent option

easy to set up too

[weary pagoda]

Indeed!
That's probably what we'll do from now

[quartz locust]

Google's Office counterpart has some crazy features, that's really interesting. 😄

[naive summit]

Yeah I've fiddled with forms and google docs for awhile, they're a bit weird sometimes but pretty handy

[gray igloo]

Man why didn't I bring my computer, wanted to add one more sprite

[thick atlas]

so i uploaded all my/our stuff

and replaced the older version of my sprite skeln uploaded

[gray igloo]

Neat

[weary pagoda]

@wind topaz Okay I fucked up, but man keep that reaction for yourself

[wind topaz]

OK, I didn’t know that would offend you so much

[weary pagoda]

That's just not cool

[silver merlin]

peak contest manager moment

[wind matrix]

this contest has been very amusing

[carmine roost]

these are all really good

[wind matrix]

disappointed at the lack of whalord covered in barnacles

[compact saddle]

shush you didnt even do that

[wind matrix]

XD I'm not nearly skilled enough to do contests

[compact saddle]

starting is the way to get there

[wind matrix]

I'm working on getting there :3

[weary pagoda]

There are so many bangers in this contest and I love it

[wind topaz]

That Kangaskhan got busy

[wind matrix]

It's hard being a single mom of 8

[thick atlas]

damn. contests are such downers 😅

[gray igloo]

Yeah, depending on the theme

[compact saddle]

ok newest champion

[quartz locust]

I really struggled with choosing who to vote for in the semifinals. All great sprites. 😄

[silver merlin]

(i dont think he picked the biggest sprite there)

[compact saddle]

[compact saddle]

concern

[weary pagoda]

Why so, did I do something wrong?

[compact saddle]

no, the voters might

[thorn robin]

Lmao they're all huge lads and a little dude

[misty acorn]

Big sizes do make sense for this contest theme to be fair

[weary pagoda]

"Overgrown" doesn't need to be all about plants

[misty acorn]

5/6 dentists contest finalists disagree

[weary pagoda]

But 1/6 are right

[cedar quest]

Nah 6/6 are right

Dummy

[gray igloo]

Great work everyone

[misty acorn]

Congratz to everyone

[untold violet]

Congrats everyone ! What ans amazing trio

[misty acorn]

Roselia/Roserade is probably the coolest head mon and Giratina Origin form is probably one of the coolest body forms to make fusions with, so my favorite was set the second I saw it 🥀

[wind matrix]

there were too many good ones to pick

[thick atlas]

congrats!

[silver merlin]

good old kaiju meta

Ah right, it's a quote from We're The Flowers: The Movie!

[compact saddle]

[wind matrix]

The dragon tree was my favorite

[glossy wagon]

that contest was stacked so I'll take a fourth

[quartz locust]

@silver merlin Congratten! 🙂

[long nacelle]

Oooo. Man these contest Pokemon are making me wanna get back into Sprite work

[strong horizon]

I was just looking through and those Noctowl and Poliwrath would make an amazing Grimer/Muk as well

[compact saddle]

katten momen

[quartz locust]

Mod birthday season is coming up again, does that mean we're gonna be getting birthday contests?

[tall moss]

what about all the staff whos birthday was completely skipped?

[quartz locust]

Retrospective contests for you. 😉

Or half-birthdays. 🙂

[tall moss]

next yalf of the year is entirely frogman catchup bday contests

[fickle ginkgo]

Contest about their favourite Pokémon and we sprite a bunch of them :)

[fickle ginkgo]

Who’s b day is first

[compact saddle]

mine im a mod

[silver merlin]

(mine, he's not a mod)

[thorn robin]

Mine is not the first

[weary pagoda]

(mine, I was born one day before Katten ||and a few years later I believe ||)

[silver merlin]

i am 20 million years old

[rain stump]

ploger

20,000,001 years old this year

[silver merlin]

[quartz locust]

When is yours? 😮

[thick atlas]

i guess in 17 days

[silver merlin]

[quartz locust]

Oh wow, exactly a week before mine. 😄

[carmine roost]

Wowzers

That's a lotta birthdays

[gray igloo]

let's go stars!

[quartz locust]

Pollmaster just took a really long time to get back to me after casting my vote. 😮

[gray igloo]

same

[misty acorn]

Pollmaster is getting old, give him a break

[tall moss]

soon well have to call him pollmister

mr poll 😔

[weary pagoda]

Then pollgrandpa

[tall moss]

grandpoll

[weary pagoda]

Takes 10 minutes to save your vote, and eventually forgets or falls asleep before

[tall moss]

poor grandpolls got alzheimer

[weary pagoda]

NOOO

[supple epoch]

I have a potential candidate at the ready but not 100% sure if it will be the one I was thinking. But even if it is not, I'll post it anyways in the spritework channel just not as an entry

[naive summit]

not Roserade

Sobbing

Ngl Lairon seemed like the most unlikely to me

[compact saddle]

my favorite choice was the least voted

also same, howls

[naive summit]

I was hoping either Roserade or aegislash 😭

[compact saddle]

thinking of iron man shit for humanoid bodies..

hmm

[silver merlin]

i got a concept

[thick atlas]

gonna make my water bear

[umbral sedge]

amogus

[silver merlin]

true

[weary pagoda]

(o3

[carmine roost]

damn.

We'll get Starmie next time bois

[silver merlin]

next time your only choices will be ninjask and golett

[crude cedar]

Can we do underappreciated pokemon next?

[silver merlin]

we did that a while ago

[crude cedar]

Like charizard, darkrai, gyarados and chandelure that have very few custom sprites

[silver merlin]

🚎

[misty acorn]

Yeah, why does it always have to be Lairon Lairon Lairon?

Why not do Charizard for once or something smh

[dusk schooner]

Lairon gets enough love. Pikachu comp next pls

[umbral sedge]

smh no chinchou contest?

[haughty laurel]

are there even any left to do?

[gray igloo]

no

no head at least

[quartz locust]

I voted for it just because I think it's one of the least sprited Pokémon. 😅

[wind matrix]

I was considering trying out the contest. But not with laireon lol

[haughty laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-star-wars-emperor-do-it-go-for-it-gif-17446081

[wind matrix]

Making a laireon/gabite scarred me ;-;

[thick atlas]

make a lairon body then

[gray igloo]

What if a lairon body?

Wow xoto

[thick atlas]

im faster

[wind matrix]

lol

[gray igloo]

Or you could do a collab with someone, half the work

[compact saddle]

hehe

i know what im doing

and nobody can challenge me with the same idea, cause nobody would dare

[wind matrix]

lol

steals Srcapi's idea

[gray igloo]

Scrapi please give everyone else a chance too

[compact saddle]

i lost the last contest wdym

[gray igloo]

[compact saddle]

[thick atlas]

[gray igloo]

Anyone want to do a collab for the contest?

[crude cedar]

I would Green Frog (:

[carmine roost]

[weary pagoda]

Such disappointment makes me feel like leaving it to votes was a bad idea

[carmine roost]

its ok Skel'n

ur still epicly cool

[weary pagoda]

Thanks

[crude cedar]

I think the next contest should be a bug type one consisting of:
Shuckle, Beedrill, Pinsir, Heracross

[weary pagoda]

(Sorry if I sounded harsh, just wish that contest felt more entertaining to everyone)

[carmine roost]

to be fair it's hard to please everyone in the server

[wind matrix]

fixed

[cedar quest]

how it feels

[wind matrix]

oof

[wind matrix]

so the deadline is september 27th?

[crude cedar]

bruh what thats a long contest

oop nvm sorry its 3

I'm stupid don't worry about it

[carmine roost]

[carmine roost]

[wind matrix]

lol

[weary pagoda]

When the Skel'n is stupid

The deadline is actually 27th of August

[wind matrix]

I thought so

[weary pagoda]

Fixed now

[wind topaz]

2023

[untold gyro]

i have made a horrible mistake

[wind matrix]

what did you do lol

[untold gyro]

submitted a rarepair nobody in their right mind would ever use

[wind matrix]

thas not a mistake

[teal grove]

Hmmmmm

Should i do klang/lairon

[compact saddle]

i was gonna-

[teal grove]

Oh, you can still do so if you want to

I havent started yet

i could also just do klinklang/lairon

(or we could collab)

[teal grove]

Eh whatever ill try something else

[thick atlas]

dont bow to scrapi

do what you like

[gray igloo]

Don't listen to xoto, scrapi is our god

[crisp cargo]

scra PINGAS usual I see

[compact saddle]

then id be demotivated to do the only good idea ever

[thick atlas]

great

[compact saddle]

they are still young, surely they can find smth else

[teal grove]

I can

Probably

Maybe

But it’s funny how me and scrapi probably had the exact same design in mind too

[quartz locust]

God I love that little sprite. ❤️

[teal grove]

screw it, charmeleon/lairon time

[misty acorn]

Blaziken/Lairon could be cool

[untold gyro]

How

[teal grove]

i think im gonna shit myself when this is done

[carmine roost]

It ends on mah birthday oh goodie

[wind matrix]

I just realized there's already a Wartortle/Lairon sprite 😬

[wind matrix]

Should I make a squirtle/lairon for the contest instead?

[crude cedar]

or blastoise?

[wind matrix]

I'm not sure I can do the cannons 😬

[compact saddle]

i can help

you just gotta do the rest

[wind matrix]

🤔

[compact saddle]

[teal grove]

Make the cannons exit from the holes on its iron shell

[teal grove]

nvm just saw you have already uploaded it

good job

[wind matrix]

Scrapi did the cannons :3

[teal grove]

yall did well

gonna be hard for me to compete with all these great spriters participating

katten, you, scrapi, scarecrow

and more

[wind matrix]

😳 I'm not near as good as the others

[teal grove]

look at that damn ivysaur/lairon my guy

it's beautiful

(on an unrelated note, bellossom/lairon is literally pogging)

[crude cedar]

Anyone want to help me I have 2 more submissions and my first one kinda garbodor ngl

[teal grove]

depends on what you got in mind

cuz im kinda good with 1 submission myself rn

it's my first contest, im not taking it that seriously

[crude cedar]

what one did you submit?

The Charmeleon and Lairon?

[thick atlas]

yes

the file names have the artist too

[teal grove]

wait what

i thought i had fixed it

guess it still needs to update

ill check again in half an hour

[compact saddle]

funny, you considered that little thing as a collab

@wind matrix

[wind matrix]

I dooooo

[compact saddle]

guess ill have more than 1 entry then

[teal grove]

wouldve been cool if it had like

a gigantamax blastoise alt

[compact saddle]

thats more of an aggron thing

[teal grove]

with a cannon coming out of every holy in lairon

[teal grove]

fair

[compact saddle]

me having a gigantic blastoise/lairon while blastoise/aggron is regular

normal players be like

[teal grove]

we apparently already have a blastoise/aggron :/

[crude cedar]

lol

[teal grove]

claws, could you check on the folder again? it shows up as intended to me rn

[wind matrix]

The name shows up for me now

[teal grove]

noice

[crude cedar]

(:

also I saw the Starter Pokemon Trend

Guess this one

[teal grove]

croconaw

[crude cedar]

correct!

Does it look good?

[teal grove]

the eye's a bit dark, unless that's croconaw's eye?

also perhaps we should go to spritework for this

[crude cedar]

yes okay

[thick atlas]

weird, for me it showed the name

[crude cedar]

no its fixed now

[crude cedar]

see

[thick atlas]

so you had an old screenshot of it?

[crude cedar]

yeah

kinda

[thick atlas]

thats also weird

[crude cedar]

husk only fixed it 43 minutes ago

[thick atlas]

as i said for me it already had the name

[teal grove]

claws you forgot to rename your own sprite too lol

now we just need a bayleef/lairon and quilava/lairon

[crude cedar]

I can do one more still lol

husk you can also do 2

[teal grove]

imagine i just take the charmeleon/lairon, change up the colors and make the fires explosive

that'd be too similar tho

[crude cedar]

[teal grove]

id prefer trying something else then, hmmmm....

i could try bayleef perhaps

[crude cedar]

maybe

I kinda want to see a bug type pokemon only contest

Pure Bug and Bug Dual types only allowed to be submitted in contest

or even electric

[teal grove]

oh i love bugs

people in other servers know me as the bug maniac, so id love a contest like that

[wind matrix]

That's why I decided against posting my wartortle one XD

[teal grove]

lol, gotta have enough variety for the voters

[crude cedar]

yep

like my aerodactyl

or should I say...

Aerocraptyl

just look at this

[teal grove]

he's making the face

actually, what is the origin of said emoji?

[gray igloo]

Parasect something

[silver merlin]

its a arbok/parasect fusion yeah

[teal grove]

amazing

i wouldve never guessed it was parasect

[crude cedar]

I knew it was arbok something

but i thought maybe Arbok / Charizard

[crude cedar]

I have a good idea

Teams Contest

A Contest where it is teams

[silver merlin]

we did that

three times

[crude cedar]

really?

[silver merlin]

do you mean collabs, or smth lol

[crude cedar]

oh

lol

lol

[silver merlin]

oh we also did that lmao

[crude cedar]

I think Bug Type Contest then (:

call it the Bug Catcher Contest

[silver merlin]

back when it was just clefable, beedrill and chinchou

[crude cedar]

I mean we could do it again.

Team Pinsir, Team Magnezone, Team Sneasel

idk random mons

[silver merlin]

we'll you see like

we didnt like start these teams in a contest

it was just a few people who sprited a shit ton of pokemon fusions with that pokemon

and it kinda became a thing to like see who would get to 100% completed first

won, but the other teams are still going

(mostly )

[crude cedar]

oh cool

[quartz locust]

[silver merlin]

right you existed too

i mean so did team darkrai

[quartz locust]

I made a sprite for it. 😛

Though it was Weedle, can't remember which one now.

Oh wait no, I judged it I think. 😂

[wind matrix]

contest idea: Everyone has to pick something from the no QA folder that hasn't been completed

[dawn ivy]

not everyone's a fan of making/working on something someone else made

especially contest wise its kind of stealing an idea i'd guess

just fixing/changing one for the list is different imo

[wind matrix]

I thought it would be a unique idea

[weary pagoda]

And that also means winning doesn't depend of your very own skills, which could be unfair as you'd want to compete with banger sprites

[crude cedar]

Actually a fun idea

Makes people work out of their comfort zone trying an idea they wouldn't have done otherwise

[dusk schooner]

I think a better application of "stepping outside your comfort zone" are the secret santa comps

[weary pagoda]

Yeah this

[dusk schooner]

Since you don't get to choose, as well as it being wholly your own sprite

[weary pagoda]

The point in "trying" something is also doing it from scratch

[wind matrix]

My thought process was to give the no qa sprites a chance, since I doubt many people actually decide to finish them

[weary pagoda]

The concept would work as a jam. As a contest it's a bit complicated.

[dusk schooner]

It's theoretically a cool idea, it just has issues that come with using sprites that were made by other people

[wind matrix]

I see 🤔

[teal grove]

Well secret santa could still be done, just give everyone a different fusion to work on

[weary pagoda]

I would rather see something like: "Fix as much sprites as possible, the one who fixed the most sprites wins."

[crude cedar]

Wait how does secret santa work

Sprite for sprite?

[weary pagoda]

Yes! You make a request and receive a request from someone. Contest Managers give them out randomly

[wind matrix]

I like this idea

[teal grove]

I like the sound of this

[weary pagoda]

Secret Spriter contests are hosted once a year by the way! So you'll be able to participate to the next one

[teal grove]

Noice

I hope i get something with klinklang

Or a bug type

Or fire

[quartz locust]

I can't remember what I requested for Secret Santa last year. I requested Delibird / Blaziken the first time, that turned out great. 😄

Ah, I think I remembered, it was Delibird / Rayquaza. That was also fantastic. 🙂

[dusk schooner]

Nice. I remember for the first and only one I requested was Dusknoir/Scizor and then the person who got it went on and on about how the request sucked the sprite turned out well, I liked it

[quartz locust]

Poor Pengu, that is a tricky fusion. 😂

But the end result was nice. 🙂

[dusk schooner]

If you see this I'm sorry Pengu

[thick atlas]

i requested caio with something buff to make them happy 🙂

[silver merlin]

haha i loved making blackboots suffer with pyukumuku rayquaza

i got third in the first secret spriter actually lol

think that was wills request

[thick atlas]

is there an easy way to find out what i got requested?

[weary pagoda]

[thick atlas]

ty 😅

[weary pagoda]

Np!

[quartz locust]

I think Giratina / Venusaur was my first one. Really proud of how that turned out. 😄

[weary pagoda]

Here is the full drive

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Xmfx6mUl-WxL4BLoBYl5BydlZk_ZInAw

[quartz locust]

Ah, and the second one was pool snake Johnny Bravo. Loved making that one. 🙂

[weary pagoda]

Oh you meant the one from 2020?

I was still not a very good spriter at this period but I remember I regretted not having a more entertaining request in this one haha

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1auTth_EaV2A6BVDb5xtqBcEmPU_IlcPm

[dusk schooner]

Oh wait, I totally forgot I entered the 2021 one as well

Luxray/Bisharp I think was the dude I requested then, Good job Dusty bro

[silver merlin]

lmao i was shite in 2020

and 2021

and 2022-

[weary pagoda]

Haha yes what a shitty sprite

[silver merlin]

lol what are they expecting

me when i make torterra venusaur be just a field

[teal grove]

May i remind yall that those are like

The only negative comments on that post

[thick atlas]

"I dont like it" - thank you

[teal grove]

Nvm there’s 3 more

And 27 comments total

Pretty good

[silver merlin]

reddit moment

[quartz locust]

I didn't know Reddit and the New Meta server shared a feedback policy. 😅

[teal grove]

you mean a lack of it

[weary pagoda]

This isn't all

Places to not go to:
-New Meta
-Reddit

[wind topaz]

-Discord

[compact saddle]

skill issue

[crude cedar]

The sprite is incredible but in my opinion it lacks a tiny bit of colors for the leafs

Please don’t kill me

[compact saddle]

how are your opinions always unbased

[crude cedar]

So you want some based opinions?

In my opinion, racism is bad

Am i allowed in the based opinion club now or?

[compact saddle]

no shit, if that wasnt your opinion you couldnt be here

[crude cedar]

Ok how about this one

Huge hot take but

Gay people deserve rights

Do i have a based opinion pass now?

[compact saddle]

too far, the council will decide your fate

ok you're in

[silver merlin]

i have a ver with venusaur leaf colours lol

[crude cedar]

[silver merlin]

old version though

[crude cedar]

What's different

[silver merlin]

the leaves are more saturated on them lol

[crude cedar]

Ohhh the small leafs

[silver merlin]

some of them

[crude cedar]

nah i wast talking more about the trees and the huge leaf on the head

They just look too similar to the head and to each other

[compact saddle]

what if you became a spriter instead

[compact saddle]

then let zero be the feedback man without the role

[tall moss]

dont gatekeep

non spriters can give feedback too

[compact saddle]

forgot everyone has to be equal, what a shame

[tall moss]

if you dont like/dont agree with a piece of feedback youre allowed to ignore it, but everyone is encouraged to give their opinions

in #spriting-discussion tho

[weary pagoda]

Can't wait to see the reddit users pop in spritework

[thick atlas]

uh, i finally have an idea

[tall moss]

they better read the feedback section of #spriting-guidelines

[weary pagoda]

Their reaction to the guidelines:

[crude cedar]

What about twitter users

[tall moss]

banned over rule 1 and 5

[weary pagoda]

They'll also insult you

Pfffft yeah

[crude cedar]

I mean reddit is a 50 50, sometimes it has valid criticism and sometimes it's just dumb

[teal grove]

oh hey that's a dutch guy

his name means Sea lottery in english

[silver merlin]

i dont like your lack of bitches my good sir-

[dawn ivy]

But weird tho, we dont have a sea lottery

[quartz locust]

[umbral sedge]

Weren't you a mod for New Meta or was I dreaming that?

[weary pagoda]

Never

I think GamR is though?

[umbral sedge]

ohhh that might be the case

I just remember a contest manager being a mod there I think

[compact saddle]

gamr

[quartz locust]

GamR is, yeah. 😄

[weary pagoda]

I'm not even a spriter or a regular there, I'm just
here

[silver merlin]

i made that server

lmao

[teal grove]

And you're like

Never there

[cedar quest]

Yeah that's me 😅

[teal grove]

Xoto entering the contest?

[teal grove]

Oh, my bad, i thought it only applied during voting

Will refrain from talking about them

Done and done

[silver merlin]

gamer

[thick atlas]

thank you

[gray igloo]

I wanna submit more, but idk

[thick atlas]

[gray igloo]

Yes?

[teal grove]

[wind matrix]

[crude cedar]

[wind topaz]

You better all vote for my sprite (I didn't enter)

[wind matrix]

I'll do it

[teal grove]

Me too

[crude cedar]

Me aswell Sir Knuckletron the Ultimus

[gray igloo]

Not me, i am different

[wind matrix]

[teal grove]

Oh btw, how will the polls for this work?

Are they gonna do multiple rounds, starting with 15, then the 6 most voted, then 3 and so on?

[wind matrix]

multiple rounds

[tall moss]

i need to enter the lairon contest

[tiny trellis]

I started an entry earlier this week but idk if I have the motivation to finish it, idk I just haven't been enjoying spriting so much lately

[tall moss]

i imbue thee with motivation

i love lairon as a design but its SO not a mon i enjoy spriting with

[tall moss]

we could collab if you wanna throw me your wip?

[weary pagoda]

All entries are split onto four brackets, then most voted ones of each go to the finals, and 2nd + 3rd go the semis. Then the two most voted sprites in semis go to the finals!

[tiny trellis]

sure

[teal grove]

Noice

[split scaffold]

What time tomorrow is the deadline? #1012145187100819476 may come down to the wire
(Guess I could also just not submit it, my main goal is to get to 3 total sprites still 😂 )

[weary pagoda]

Precisely 24 hours after the announcement, so in 22 hours from now

Threw b1nzy at ThornsofLight

Threw sadness disguised as hapiness at a random person nearby

[teal grove]

bruh

[dusk schooner]

Alright, I think it's time to cool it with the bot commands here

[teal grove]

alright, but we still dont know what causes the bot to react the way it does to claws

[dusk schooner]

Yeah that is weird

[crude cedar]

It's website says nothing about it aswell as no time commands

lul

Now I go back to playing meinkam-

[fickle ginkgo]

the first poll

so hard to choose 😭

[teal grove]

Lmaoo

Nvm

[quartz locust]

Agreed, everyone did such a fantastic job! 🙂

[dawn ivy]

Amazing job guys. I really couldnt care less about lairon so yea. I am amazed how well the fusions are

[thorn robin]

Lairon is one of my favourite underrated mons

It's design is noice

It's a nice transition

[wind matrix]

the design is cool, it's just very hard to work with

[dawn ivy]

^ yep, I rather pick Aron cause of simplicity, or Aggron cause of extra's.

[silver merlin]

win this contest and you get to pick a pokemon that goes in the next poll

[wind matrix]

:o

[dawn ivy]

wellp shit, im not even in this one >:(

[silver merlin]

watch scrapi win and pick like

ninjask

[split scaffold]

The Aron line is one of the ones I wish didn't turn bipedal

[dawn ivy]

looks at almost all fire starters

i know what you mean xd

same with Rhyhorn tho

[thorn robin]

I like rhydon more than rhyperior

[dawn ivy]

god i hate rhyperior

[thorn robin]

It doesn't make sense imo

[wind matrix]

but it's mecha godzilla

[split scaffold]

ehh. it's just metal tyranitar

[wind matrix]

BUT TYRANITAR IS GODZILLA

[tall moss]

aggrons design is so much less cool and less cohesive than lairons its such a disappointment

[compact saddle]

me picking kinklang

[teal grove]

Hell yeah

Ive been waiting for this

[wind matrix]

all of the entries will just be from Husk

[crude cedar]

lul

[crude cedar]

it may be anonymous voting but I still want to see who is winning ):

[wind matrix]

shh

[tall moss]

i think its lairon

[crude cedar]

Damn

who would have thought

[gray igloo]

Man I was hoping for aron

[crude cedar]

[teal grove]

Not surprising as of the 8 fusions i have made so far, half of them are with the klinklang line

[crude cedar]

you have only made 8?

I came on this server 8 Days ago

I have made 21
