event-general

[weary pagoda]

Classic one based off a specific mon

[teal grove]

Right, the winner gets to choose what mon and then itll be voted on along with 3 others

Right?

[weary pagoda]

Yep

[silver merlin]

yee

ill do votes today actually

for the next classic

[placid pelican]

I love classic contests

Even though I still haven’t been able to enter one

[teal grove]

Enter the next one then

Im curious as to what 4 mons we're gonna be voting for

[placid pelican]

the last two classic contests that appeared i didnt have the motivation to sprite that i have now

[weary pagoda]

Huh

I'm confused about the BreloomMuk x AegislashMarowak poll

They tied up in their bracket but it says BreloomMuk won on challonge

[tall siren]

Gamr decides who wins in a tie

[weary pagoda]

Ah I didn't know that, my b

So it's like if he voted himself in a way

Thanks!

[granite wren]

Man I miss doin fusions. Been voting on all these and my god they're so good

Who invented 9-5 jobs that shit sucks, I have no time

How is everyone

[cedar quest]

Yea

It's why I don't vote in the polls

So I can use that vote to break ties if they happen

[cedar quest]

Doin' good

[crude cedar]

That pokemon will win

I mean the one with a head and a body

and is fused

lmao

[hybrid shell]

Are there any contests currently?

[teal grove]

Yew

Yes

One still has ongoing polls and should be done in a few days, after that there’s gonna be another classic contest once @silver merlin starts the poll up

And after that there’s the Calamity contest

[hybrid shell]

I mean anything I can join

I see

[teal grove]

Do you want me to notify you when the classic contest is announced?

[hybrid shell]

sure!

[teal grove]

Alrighty

I wonder what the mons for the classic contest are gonna be, since classic contests are always really fun

[silver merlin]

internet struggling

votes will be delayed

[teal grove]

Do you already know which mons are gonna be part of the vote?

[silver merlin]

ye

winners choice + 3 pokemon we pick

because we have the power

[teal grove]

can one of the 3 pokemon be a klinklang

https://tenor.com/view/wasted-putther-genghiskh4nyt-killed-assassinated-gif-17968698

[tall moss]

did my choice get polled yet

[silver merlin]

no

its your choice

today

[tall moss]

can i change it

[silver merlin]

sure ig

dm me

[compact saddle]

youshould accumulate choices if winners choice wasnt picked

[silver merlin]

we changed from that lmao

[compact saddle]

like next one be 2 winners and remove one fo your picks, and so on, if winners arent picked

[compact saddle]

stinkest

[silver merlin]

we going with this system lmao

[hybrid shell]

just picked the one that would be the funnest for a mudkip body fusion

[silk bolt]

DEOXYS PLSSSS

[hybrid shell]

too late man

[teal grove]

Aegislash would be a wild contest

Scrapi would take the cake 100%

[hybrid shell]

oh fo sho

[compact saddle]

guessed my vote

[hybrid shell]

honestly don’t mind what we get, aslong as its ???/mudkip fusiob doesn’t exist yet

Koffin/mudkip= hazmat suit = apocalypse due to nuclear radiation?

thinking about joining the Calamity contest

[silver merlin]

omg did u vote for mantine

im fine with any of them lmao

[compact saddle]

mantine id clap it aswell

i love it, even if i dont do many

[silver merlin]

your lugia mantine was pretty cool

the mantine comp was my second comp ever lol

[compact saddle]

id do regi mantine if it was picked

[silver merlin]

im hoping for crobat

[hybrid shell]

Im kinda hoping for starmie

But don’t mind any of them

[silver merlin]

skeln would be gaming with starmie

[weary pagoda]

That's actually what I voted for

[compact saddle]

noshit its just dollar store jirachi sprites

[weary pagoda]

No more star shaped heads and purple crystals, now let us do star shaped bodies and purple shells

[kindred cave]

i dont think anyone will guess what i voted for

[dawn ivy]

@silver merlin what was the ping for in #event-announcements

[silver merlin]

ctrl r lmao

[dawn ivy]

i did

dont see anything

lemme try again

[silver merlin]

ok look 1 message above the ping

[dawn ivy]

oh

derp

i went to look at the poll after

[carmine roost]

Oh boi

Another chance perhaps

[misty acorn]

Damn those poll results are only a little close

[placid pelican]

I hope for Starmie to win

[compact saddle]

hello users that voted for crobat

https://tenor.com/view/burn-notice-michael-weston-jeffrey-donovan-gun-gun-cock-gif-18299992

[tall moss]

crobat was my addition

cuz slightly spooky halloween option

[wind topaz]

||Maractus||

[placid pelican]

if aegislash wins id be worried

ive never worked with the honedge line before

they seem difficult

[tall moss]

1. slap a sword in a mons hand
2. done

[placid pelican]

But I wanna turn the mon into a sword

[tall moss]

take sword

slap color and eye on

done

[compact saddle]

who voted on xillos sprite now im gone entirely from the contest

from 1 vote

(he deserves it)

[teal grove]

HOLY FUCK THOSE VOTES ARE CLOSE

[placid pelican]

Oh I didn’t even know we could see the results after it ends lol

[compact saddle]

@dusk schooner good game 🤝

[dusk schooner]

GG gamer man. Your entries were amazing as always

[teal grove]

Only a few days left now, but i can already bet who's gonna win

[compact saddle]

me too

[placid pelican]

i have no idea who is even winning rn

[quartz locust]

Oh no, I missed the polls whilst I was away. 😢

[weary pagoda]

Almost done 👀

[teal grove]

2 more days

[misty acorn]

Don't worry, its not like your vote would have made the difference in both of them or anything

[cedar quest]

Could have turned both of them into ties, so yeah. Nothing changed

[teal grove]

Excited for the classic poll results

The mons themselves decide the difficulty of the contest

[cedar quest]

I'll try to remember to close it on time, since it's not an auto timed poll

[teal grove]

Oh rip, want me to keep an eye on it?

[silver merlin]

ill close it now lmao

[cedar quest]

Tie momento

Also

It still had an hour

[silver merlin]

no lmao

it shouldve been closed a hour ago

[cedar quest]

❌

Poll was made at 1:55 EST, and it's only....

1:18.

[compact saddle]

stinkr

[silver merlin]

oh well lmao

it was only gamers vote we missed out on so it surely doesnt matter

[teal grove]

So uh, where did #sprite-contest go

[weary pagoda]

Yeeted away

We don't need that channel

All talking about contest now goes in #discord-suggestions

[silver merlin]

true

im typing the next contest as we type

here

[cedar quest]

It's OK, I've broken enough ties this week anyways ((plus I wouldn't have voted for either one anyways))

[silver merlin]

youve broken my heart too how could you not love my ((totally)) not kaiju meta sprites

[cedar quest]

Oh trust me, I murdered the Garbodor.

[silver merlin]

LMFAO

@compact saddle -9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% chance now

[cedar quest]

Sometimes I gotta do what I gotta do

[naive summit]

ight who's doing starmie/crobat

[cedar quest]

Lmaoo

[silver merlin]

🚎 i wonder who

[cedar quest]

There's going to be 1 million of them

[teal grove]

Damn, if only i had waited a bit before doing crobat/volcarona

[naive summit]

[weary pagoda]

Still unclear

[teal grove]

All of yall stupid

Obviously crobat/starmie will win

[naive summit]

one of you do starmie/crobat and the other do crobat/starmie

ez

[silver merlin]

@weary pagoda you get the lame one

[weary pagoda]

Fine, I'll make the only Starmie body in the comp

[hybrid shell]

Starmie/Mudkip here we go

[sleek drum]

😎time to join the contest, and lose on the first round as always

[weary pagoda]

Not this time

Do a banger sprite

[teal grove]

starmie and buneary

or crobat/buneary with lil ear wings

[cedar quest]

Maybe it's time for the Deoxys/Starmie

[teal grove]

just do a fusion for each of the other options

[silk gyro]

Are we allowed to use others custom poses for the contest?

[compact saddle]

ask them first

[silver merlin]

@compact saddle can i use ur custom metagross

[crude cedar]

Idk if I can do this contest my computer is starting to crap out on me

[compact saddle]

sure

[silver merlin]

gamer

[compact saddle]

i got the most gaming idea of all time

coming directly from kiwi's old dms with me

[silk bolt]

WHERE IS MA BOY DEOXYS

gonna finish my starmicuno for this contest

do you know where we can find the unfinished sprites ?

[tall moss]

no qa folder in the sprite pack

[silk bolt]

ok

i was trying to mp you the question lmao

[tall moss]

or the main folder if it was already demeed good to go by sprote managers

[silk bolt]

im so disapointed that someone post my articuno without telling me

gonna kill myself that was one of my best sprite, and i wasn't even able to finish it and post it by myself

and with this i cant even use it on the contest x)

it's not even on the gallery but is in the game folder

[tall moss]

iirc i jjst added the bits of tail that were cut off in the screenshot

[silk bolt]

Iirc jjst?

[tall moss]

if i recall correctly, just

[silk bolt]

Okok

It's okay if I take it, redo the tail into the wings texture and post it for the contest?

[tall moss]

idk ask the contest managers

usually old sprites arent allowed tho

[silk bolt]

@silver merlin sorry for the tag but is it OK?

[misty acorn]

For a second I thought that jjst was actually some kind of abbreviation that people actually use 😂

[tall moss]

no jjst me nkt being able to type for shit

case in point

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/fair-enough-shea-brennan-sam-elliott-1883-thats-reasonable-gif-24225989

[quartz locust]

Don't make flippant remarks about suicide please, that's part of Rule 2. If you're genuinely upset, talk to one of us Mods and we can try working things out. 🙂

[craggy remnant]

feels like cheating for me to just make starmie body fusions for this but im doing it anyways

[tall moss]

who says starmie bodies have to be lazy tho

sprite jynx/starmie

[opal wadi]

Please use #ask-a-bot or Aegide's calculator (https://aegide.github.io/) to avoid spam!

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aegide/autogen-fusion-sprites/master/Battlers/124/124.121.png

This fusion doesn't appear to have a custom sprite! You can search for it in the #sprite-gallery to make sure.

[tall moss]

excuse me yanmega

[craggy remnant]

ok that goes hard

the original one it sent cant stop making me laugh though it looks like those toys kids use to shape sand on the beach

[misty acorn]

[craggy remnant]

i suppose i should go back to the drawing board my original sprite idea is definitely too simple

[wind topaz]

Maybe I'll try to make Crobat/Rayquaza

[gray igloo]

Nah i liked it.

[silk gyro]

Are we allowed to put our contest sprites in the sprite work channel?

[gray igloo]

Of course

[silk gyro]

[placid pelican]

STARMIE

YAY

and also crobat I guess

[mild furnace]

yeah, crobat is sorta ehhh as a head

starmie though

[craggy remnant]

theyre both fun purple guys

[silk gyro]

Is there a place for contest rules to read?

[placid pelican]

yes theres pins in #event-announcements

[foggy reef]

craaaaap

[balmy radish]

so i see a new classic contest has started

what happend to the paused calamity contest? I know it was paused for the sponsered contest, but i saw that one closing up.

or is the calamity one run by someone else than the classic one?

[ocean crown]

i think the calamity contest is gonna come back after this classic one

[wind topaz]

Someone needs to make a sprite referencing this, and it's going to be me fusing Crobat with Gengar maybe

[silk bolt]

Currently spriting starmie/lucario for the contest

[teal grove]

I dont think im gonna go all out this contest

Still preparing for the calamity one

Probably 1 fusion of each mon

[teal grove]

2 weeks

That took a long time

[balmy radish]

ah fair enough

[silver merlin]

Yeah lmao

would be pre boring from mega themed contest to another themed one

[tall siren]

That feel when you have 4 chances to place third and lose by 1 3 times

[compact saddle]

ikr

[tall siren]

I can’t believe how close all these polls have been literally every vote matters

[tall moss]

what one was your theme yoshi 👀

[tall siren]

The tiny food based boys

[tall moss]

are they out of the comp yet can i talk about em

[tall siren]

Yeah just lol

[tall moss]

well then

loved these lil fellas

[tall siren]

Thank you!!

[tall moss]

the jello is incredible

i hope we got a smol mon comp again soon, i love smol sprites with great execution and creativity

[compact saddle]

even if its clearly not what i have fun with, i seem to have better outcomes with small sprites (very sad)
so itd be cool to have a new one

[tall siren]

Thank you so much I’d love to enter the small sprite cup. I always felt inferior in this comp because all my entries were tiny lmao

[compact saddle]

last evo/first evo contest
not necessarily from the same line

[weary pagoda]

Theme: single pixel

[tall moss]

a canvas size limit cool be fun

[compact saddle]

god the current limit is already bad dont do this

[tall moss]

54x54 rby style

[silver merlin]

icon sprite contest

[tall moss]

if only icons worked on v5

[valid wagon]

Have we ever done a typing contest?

[silver merlin]

ice type contest

you have like 2 options

[valid wagon]

Like where whatever mon you end up spriting has to end up being a certain typing (Fairy/Grass for example)

Oh okay gotcha

[silver merlin]

nah that wouldnt be fun at all lmao

[valid wagon]

LMFAO

I already pretty much do that xD

[tall moss]

ghost/normal or normal/ghost wod be great for the game

[hybrid shell]

(Mudkip comp when)

[silver merlin]

when you win this comp and make it a choice for the next poll only for it to be outvoted by roserade :))))))

[hybrid shell]

great can’t wait! ;-;

[cedar quest]

Remember! Bigger doesn't necessarily equal better, All of your sprites were well awesome

[silver merlin]

||biased||

nah i agree lmao

bigger sprites are great if you wanna fit a bunch of detail, but if you make them bigger than they need to be thats not great either lmao

[cedar quest]

Exactly, if you can't justify it being massive, it really shouldn't be

[compact saddle]

new contest manager elections when

(only katten and skel this time :))

[cedar quest]

Nooooooo!!!!!

[silver merlin]

ok new contest manager

bigtimeang

[compact saddle]

better dead than bad

[silver merlin]

nah the team we have now is great lmao

[compact saddle]

[silver merlin]

happy that i picked you two

[cedar quest]

Happy that I got picked

[silver merlin]

i mean you were practically already a manager with all the sponsors you were hosting lol

[quartz locust]

This was one of my favourites too, genuinely a stellar sprite with such a fun concept. ❤️

[tall siren]

Thanks so much

[misty acorn]

Same here, the amount of detail they had and the way they made their theme work is amazing! Really hoped that either the jello or the stronk egg would win ngl

[tall siren]

oh my gosh thank you! I wasn't even planning on entering but I made Jellosis and Eggdude and was like "huh, this could be a theme" lmao

[cedar quest]

Already Mimikyu fusions are one of my faves, if not the favorite of mine. You were able to able to take that idea for Mimikyu/Solosis, and not only make it awesome as a standalone fusion, but incorporated your theme in the most brilliant way.

This is directly what I wrote on the GHT, beyond a small section I'm not showing yet. And its 100% true.

[tall siren]

Damn dude, thanks so much! I hope I didn't bait all this praise I'm not used to it. ❤️ Thank you all so much for the support and love I can't believe the amount of positivity you're all giving me

[tall moss]

you deserve it, youre a great spriter

[cedar quest]

If I felt like it was a bait, I wouldn't have said anything, now would I?

[slender turtle]

That Eggdude sprite was honestly one of my favourites, so excellent

[tall siren]

aaah thank you!! I think you mean eggcellent

[slender turtle]

Eggs-actly! smh haha

[tiny trellis]

I must say it is quite eggceptional

guys let's keep making egg puns it'll never stop being funny

[tall siren]

Thank you! I'm not sure I can say this but best of luck in the semis! You were a great opponent! Uh... egg

[hybrid shell]

Please stop, Im begging you

[teal grove]

i think im just gonna not participate in the classic, gonna put all my effort into the apocalypse one instead

[stoic dust]

Is there any sort of primer for the contests? im new here and am not sure whats going on?

[teal grove]

pins in #event-announcements should help

[cedar quest]

Feel free to ask any questions you need answers to

[cedar quest]

I showed how I judged the themes on the 21st, today, I show how I judged the sprites.

[misty acorn]

Looking forward to lé judgin

[gray igloo]

Might skip this contest, have a lot of assignments this week. Kinda ashamed casue i like starmie fusions

[craggy remnant]

im in the same boat i have an overdue assignment that needs work

[silk gyro]

Hey @naive summit can i use your custom vaporeon for the contest? (yes ik you said to use it for whatever but i didnt want to break the rules on a technicality)

[naive summit]

sure

[silk gyro]

[hybrid shell]

I got end year exams but like thats gonna stop me

[teal grove]

Same here except i dont like starmie fusions

[silk bolt]

Starmie is one of my fav head to sprite so I'm not skipping this shit

I have at least 2 sprite I want to sent, my random fusion can wait 1 more week

[placid pelican]

Starmie is one of my fav pokemon

[silk bolt]

Not my fav, but gold / jewel / space Texture go brrrrrr

[quartz locust]

I'm excited to see how it turns out, some beautiful fusions might come from this. 😄

[misty acorn]

Okay, so 5 out of the last 6 polls were decided by a singular vote I'm pretty sure

That says a lot about the quality level of this contest 🙏

[placid pelican]

oh thats really strange huh

to happen so much

ig its super hard to choose a sprite

since they are all amazing

[crisp cargo]

when you actually start voting and it matters

[idle magnet]

I still dont know where this contest is even happening

[teal grove]

here

[dusk schooner]

Non-spriters can't see sponsored comps I think

[teal grove]

ohhh

[idle magnet]

I see

[agile storm]

Why not?

[quartz locust]

Because money's involved, just in case people make spam accounts to vote for their own sprite repeatedly. It's more of a precautionary measure than anything. 😅

[agile storm]

Why not block voting instead? Tho I think I remember seeing sponsored contests before

[wind topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

[cedar quest]

Light theme

[kindred cave]

Light theme

[plush vale]

they used flash

[plush vale]

can wee see them after? I mostly would just wanna see submissions after

[cedar quest]

Check the drive! 😄

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/10xjiYM3tTfGSkhsBwUe2R5j0LexrBrHP

And I update a bracket for non-spriters to atleast see what's happening here: https://challonge.com/SC8choice

[plush vale]

is that organzied by contests or entrants?

[valid wagon]

there are so many good sprites in this comp!! AHGHGHG

[cedar quest]

Oh trust me, I know

[cedar quest]

By me

[plush vale]

thats... not what I meant

how is it sorted

[cedar quest]

Mostly Random.

I randomize for a base, and do small switches to prevent self-eliminations in Round 1 or 2.

[compact saddle]

@cedar quest whats that first part about lol

who was the dick who asked if you leaving

[cedar quest]

Nah, it wasn't in a mean way

With the thing being winner gets to make the next sponsored, they thought I might be trying to train a new Contest Manager.

But, no, I'm not going anywhere

[compact saddle]

gotcha

[hybrid shell]

till when do we have time to enter the normal contest

[cedar quest]

'till the 29th

[hybrid shell]

kk

got time

thanks

[placid pelican]

didnt the deoxys and mawile/vileplume already go up against eachother lol

[dusk schooner]

That is generally something that occurs with the existence of the loser bracket system, yes

[tall moss]

we meet again @silver merlin

[agile storm]

I still don't understand why forbidden seeing

[teal grove]

In the winner's finals, yes, but them mawploom won the loser's finals and so they face again

[hybrid shell]

wonder what I voted for

[crisp cargo]

not if more people vote

[misty acorn]

To prevent cheating, which really shouldn't happen in a contest with so much money involved

[agile storm]

But seeing isn't voting

[crisp cargo]

anyone who can see can react iirc

and reacting is voting

[teal grove]

Isn’t their a way to restrict reacting

[crisp cargo]

is there?

iirc you can stop everyone from reacting but not everyone but those with specific roles?

[agile storm]

Also the bot has role restriction too. Because I remember one time in the past when I tried to vote but I couldn't because I'm not a spriter

[cedar quest]

Rule 7 (alos no it's not lol)

[cedar quest]

I'll look into that. Thanks!

Ok, yeah. You're right

[silver merlin]

that was when bta hosted them i think

[cedar quest]

Unfortunately as I already started the final poll, I can't really fix it to do so, but I will do this in the future

[silver merlin]

the first one

[cedar quest]

We only recently got EasyPoll, and beforehand used PollMaster

So I apologize for this inconvenience

[agile storm]

Ok

[wind topaz]

I should work on a sprite for the contest today

[quartz locust]

We've had reduxes with different outcomes before I think, interesting to see how this one pans out. Both are worthy winners. 😄

I can't believe the voting period went by so quickly, it's been a great contest! 🙂

[hybrid shell]

got one out of three done

[tall moss]

i submitted my 3 dinkiest crobats to the contest

[plush vale]

how is the drive sorted/grouped

[cedar quest]

what the google drive???

you're kinda confusing me...ngl

[cedar quest]

43 pages on the GHT, and I'm still not done

In fairness though, a good chunk is most definetely the space that the images take up

[silk gyro]

Just remove the images

[cedar quest]

Nah, makes it easier to follow

[misty acorn]

conkattulations

[dusk schooner]

Good job kattengamer

[tiny trellis]

Gg everyone

[tall moss]

@silver merlin congrats!! well deserved win, your sprite had so much love, time and effort put into it, and it SHOWS, it turned out so, so incredibly awesome

[placid pelican]

woa the million year long contest is finally over wheeze

but worth it because there was HEAPS of super cool sprites

who made the octillery/spiritomb?

[tall moss]

matten

[placid pelican]

oh awesome, i love mattens sprite

[dusk schooner]

Awesome theme, loved the remoraid/machamp Deep One sprite

[tall moss]

same, one of my faves this contest

[dusk schooner]

@foggy reef I wanted to say this ages ago when we were in the same bracket but couldn't because of rule 7, but your sprites were awesome and you did an amazing job. Your remoraid/mr.mime was one of my favourites in the whole comp

[placid pelican]

true

goose has such a unique style for sprites

[foggy reef]

Likewise, your sprites were actually so cool, I was such a huge fan of your Hitmontop/Absol and your theme in general. Thanks so much for being so kind! :)

[placid pelican]

i loved the absol/hitmontop too :D

[foggy reef]

oh um also, sorry for breaking rule 7 copious amounts of times 😅

[dusk schooner]

It's all good lol. I'm glad you guys liked them, I had a lot of fun with making all 5

[placid pelican]

i regret not joining the contest cuz it looked like fun but oh well lo

if i did win somehow it would be awkward because i wouldnt want the money

[dusk schooner]

I usually don't join sponsored ones because of the money thing either. The creating of a theme was too good to pass up though

[teal grove]

if you dont want it ill take it

[placid pelican]

ok!

[teal grove]

[mild furnace]

The rich get richer.

[teal grove]

im dirt poor

[foggy reef]

I think my theme was a little sloppy, I kinda just made Bibarel/Cofa and built off of that

[dusk schooner]

Your theme was cool

[mild furnace]

Yeah it was very charming

[foggy reef]

I didn't use it to it's full potential though

which sucks

like I literally had 2 cowboys

but anywho, the comp was fun, everyone did kickass sprites, I'm happy :)

[misty acorn]

The create your own theme part really was a ton of fun

[mild furnace]

Yeah, it expanded potential like 10-fold because you got to see people's creative process

[placid pelican]

i would of just put in 5 chandelure bodies wheeze

[vital stirrup]

when i made my theme (the 5 senses) i didnt realise only 5 entries were allowed but it worked out really well lol

[dusk schooner]

Yours was great too, very nicely done

[vital stirrup]

thanks a lot

[foggy reef]

I was initially gonna do "Slightly larger cup" which was just gonna be evolved forms of sprites from kiwi's LC

5 senses was such a smart theme

[vital stirrup]

thanks!

[foggy reef]

I like the gengar/lickylicky :)

[vital stirrup]

much like your bibarel/cof, that was the reason i chose the theme

[dusk schooner]

I liked Mr.Mime/Ambipom and Nose whale

[vital stirrup]

:)

[foggy reef]

ah yes,
shnozz whale

very cool fellow

[misty acorn]

I really liked the different fighting style ones, all of them were great and the theme added so much to the fusions

[dusk schooner]

Thanks

[vital stirrup]

oh yeah they were great

[dusk schooner]

Your 2 dudes you made were really cool, the pong one's really fun

[vital stirrup]

yeah that blew my mind when i saw it lol

[foggy reef]

the pong one was so smart bro

good stuff

[misty acorn]

thank

[teal grove]

My theme was arguably the worst

I just wanted to show people how interesting klinklang bodies could be

[dusk schooner]

Well look, I personally don't consider what's essentially a classic comp as a theme terribly exciting, but the individual sprites were awesome. Your porygon one I love a lot and I think you've managed to make Klinklang bodies into something really cool

You should be proud

I don't think there were any bad themes personally

[foggy reef]

I thought the dialga/klinklang was a megaman reference lol

fr tho the galvantula/klinklang is siiick

[dusk schooner]

Agreed

[tall moss]

my original theme was gonna be angels/celestials but i was super not wanting to work on that, i switched to the death flowers last minute and that was SOOOO much more inspiring

[dusk schooner]

I really liked your Spiritomb dude

[tall moss]

ty

[dusk schooner]

The flower dudes were pretty cool

[tall moss]

i tried to vary the exact execution of the theme for each one

a doomed flower, a flower that dooms you, one that uses a bloom to doom, etc

[dusk schooner]

It paid of rather nicely

[tall moss]

the spiritomb/meg is a bloom made of doom(ed souls)

[silver merlin]

time for gamr to fucking destroy my sprites in his doc

"its 2 pixels too big i will hunt you down and kill your entire family"

"also heres 100 dollars ;))"

[dusk schooner]

Congratulations, I knew your deoxys was gonna be the winner

[silver merlin]

i dont think it wouldve won if it wasnt for the animation, loved yours and all the other ones

[tall moss]

the animation cycling through all the forms is such genius

[teal grove]

Thank you, mister super amazing spriter. Ill take your words of encouragement with me to the next contest

[dusk schooner]

:)

[tall moss]

sometimes animations feel like a cheap way to win, like the kaiju meta but here it was super justified and purposeful bc you used it for a super unique ides that wouldnt have worked unaniamated

[silver merlin]

<3 thamk

[dusk schooner]

Your sprite won fair and square

[silver merlin]

i will make gamr shit his pants with my newest fusion

too big + animated

[silver merlin]

you all are great

i will enjoy these 100 dolla

[teal grove]

Is it for the current classic contest?

[silver merlin]

nah i havent got many ideas for it

[teal grove]

Same tbh

[silver merlin]

also its great to see contests going good again lol

there was a bit where they got like 12 entries max

then we changed back to the old formular and its working pretty well

[tall moss]

the series format was cool but kinda too complicated

[dusk schooner]

And just simple variety is a great thing

[silver merlin]

less is more eh lmao

[dusk schooner]

Mhm each contest doesn't need to have a million things going on to feel unique

[teal grove]

I like themed contests, like overgrown and apocalypse

[silver merlin]

i liked the overgrown one

[tall moss]

hey youre appropriating my eh

[silver merlin]

because i won it

[silver merlin]

i will move to canada and get a piece of paper that allows me to sue it

use it

[teal grove]

[silver merlin]

not sue it

[dusk schooner]

maybe sue it too for good measure

[tall moss]

dont sue the eh

[silver merlin]

i will sue it

and use it

[teal grove]

Actually i like all contests, i just dont have the time to participate in all of them

University is weird

[dusk schooner]

Server Icon time

[silver merlin]

true

[dusk schooner]

Looks real nice

[cedar quest]

You're goddamn right

[tall moss]

epic server av

[cedar quest]

Bit hey clearly I'm wrong, it won podium

[silver merlin]

you bastard i know what you voted for

[cedar quest]

At work now, will do the podium and release the GHT later today

[teal grove]

Ill come home after creating a literal hovercraft just to make funny pokemon sprites

[tall moss]

hyped

i wanna read all the savage takes

[dusk schooner]

I wanna read all the less savage takes

[cedar quest]

I can give you a brief tease on who got brutalized though

[dusk schooner]

The ones that make me feel good when I read them

[silver merlin]

the katten section:

Porygon-Z/Garbodor
i

Porygon-Z/Deoxys
hate

Porygon-Z/Kyogre
you

Rotom/Stunfisk
so much

[cedar quest]

Katten
People who made Blanket Themes
Some of Scrapi
Emi

[silver merlin]

lol i expected it

the garbodor and kyogre prolly got the most bash

[cedar quest]

It's not our of a mean place,just....a lot of the same thing

[silver merlin]

(its from a mean place dont listen to him)

[silver merlin]

yeah no i couldve done way more lol

my favourite ones i did were the rotom and deoxys

[quartz locust]

As an anxious boy, I'm scared. Really scared. 😂

[cedar quest]

Good

[silver merlin]

gamr i do not care if you ever post a sprite again i will fucking obliterate it with so much feedback you will die

[cedar quest]

Do it, I deserve it

[mild furnace]

I have never experienced GHT before so this will be terrifying

[silver merlin]

thats what you get

[cedar quest]

Tell you what, the theme GHT is finished

[silver merlin]

last time it went well for me

this time cuz i won it wont

[mild furnace]

GamR does not strike me as someone who holds back

[cedar quest]

And I have the formatting of the other to do after work

[dusk schooner]

I don't think I've ever been in a GHT either

[cedar quest]

No you haven't but you already know how I think about you Xillo

((you can share that DM now))

[dusk schooner]

Spoilers

Oh yeah gamr told me he liked my theme like near the start of the comp

[cedar quest]

Contest is over, what's there to spoil??

[dusk schooner]

I'm joking lol

[mild furnace]

Oh yeah rule 7 is no more

[dusk schooner]

Mhm, feel free to give collective pats on the back for all your favourite contest sprites

[silver merlin]

@scrapi ur sprite stink

@dusk schooner ur sprite sti

nah fr everyone did so well

[dusk schooner]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

I agree

[silver merlin]

yours could def have beaten the deoxys lol

it was pretty close

thank god we didnt tie

[dusk schooner]

Lol, well thanks. the last polls were all pretty close for the most part, lots of 1% differences

[dusk schooner]

Your theme was pretty cool. I don't know a lot of prehistoric animals and stuff off the top of my head but I think I get the general gist of what your guys are and I like them a lot

[silver merlin]

oh yeah pengu i loved your sprites too

[dawn ivy]

Good job everyone, real amazing works in this contest!

[quartz locust]

Agreed, well done on the win @silver merlin! ❤️

I just know my theme is going to get obliterated.

[silver merlin]

B TIER

LESS GOO

B FOR BASIC AS FUCK

[foggy reef]

Ayooo ght are out

[dawn ivy]

i got obliterated

[quartz locust]

So did I.

I deserved it to be fair, I couldn't think of a theme at all. 😂

[dawn ivy]

mine was asked, while to me it was obvious

[foggy reef]

aw sick

[dawn ivy]

Gamr aint no gamer, not knowing boss monsters

other than that its funz

[foggy reef]

Gamer is a fellow western enjoyer 🤝

[crisp cargo]

yeah i kinda hard disagree with 'that one needs to be explained'

[cedar quest]

I asked you if they were specific references!!!

[crisp cargo]

i see boss mons i think "oh so stuff that'd be the boss of a level"

[cedar quest]

Byeah

[dusk schooner]

I loved your Duskull/Haunter dude a lot, I know it's a weird realistic human skull but I don't care it looks super cool

[crisp cargo]

that said that totally is too broad imo

[cedar quest]

They do look cool, they are just....

SO BIGGGGGG AAAAAAA

[dawn ivy]

Ahaha, they werent, dont worry, im just sad i score less :P

[cedar quest]

Sorry, I think what I think :(

[dawn ivy]

im not the best kinda loser

and np, its good for me

[crisp cargo]

imagine thinking

kinda cringe tbh....

[cedar quest]

Trueeeeeee

[dawn ivy]

ahaha

[cedar quest]

Bouta change the GHT to all negative IQ statements

[dawn ivy]

its healthy for me to get some feedback on why someone doesnt like it as much, its very helpfull and the way you word it is good for me, so thanks Gamr

<3

[teal grove]

Quick mention: my favorite theme of the whole contest, and imo the most challenging and most creative, was pengu's theme

[dawn ivy]

its fun how all themes did go their own way

[teal grove]

Oh lmao i just read the document, @cedar quest i had no idea that’s what Gearification meant in english

[tall siren]

Great job everyone!

[silver merlin]

thank

[tall siren]

Raikou/Machamp was my pick to win, I’m glad it got a redemption arc in the losers bracket

[dusk schooner]

I'm glad you liked it, and I thought your food doods were really cool, especially the jello and the egg

[silver merlin]

tbh i def thought youd win xillo lol

[dawn ivy]

I'm amazed you could do a food theme lmao

[silver merlin]

deadass you had all the infinity stones

the great part about this contest is now we have free themed contests forever

[teal grove]

I always have ideas for more contests

[tall siren]

Thanks so much! Your cloyster was one of my picks to win too tbh

[silver merlin]

no

[teal grove]

https://tenor.com/view/wasted-putther-genghiskh4nyt-killed-assassinated-gif-17968698

[teal grove]

Imo the swampert was the best one, awesome use of the maw

[tall siren]

Honestly thought that one was gonna get top 3

[dawn ivy]

IMO it felt so simple compared to my other work, i was so confused its so liked

sometimes simple is best tho

and this showed that quite a bit

[mild furnace]

Thank you! Your sprites were phenomenal

[dusk schooner]

Thank you too

[teal grove]

This wholesomeness gives me an idea

[silver merlin]

no gear themed contest

[quartz locust]

I loved your sprites for this contest, if they're the ones I think they were. 😄

[dusk schooner]

If you're thinking of the Kung Fu dudes then thanks

[quartz locust]

I am, the Absol and Skarmory ones were incredible. ❤️

[dusk schooner]

Thank you, I liked your Togekiss dudes too, especially the Klefki

[quartz locust]

You know me, big sucker for Blaziken. 😂

[dusk schooner]

Initially I really wanted to bring in the elemental components of Wuxing into my dudes too, but sadly it was impossible. Skarmory/Blaziken ended up being the only one that ended up actually matching - being Crane's connection to the Metal element

[mild furnace]

Lmao

[tall moss]

smh you gotta focus on the doom too 🤌

[slender turtle]

Great contest everyone! Congrats Katten, such an amazing sprite. Time for me to get destroyed for my super weak theme

[dusk schooner]

Your Nidoking/Hitmonlee was awesome

[tiny trellis]

honestly I didn't even consider the spooky month when picking my theme, happy coincidence

[silver merlin]

shouldve called it bloom dooms like the z move smh

[quartz locust]

I should have done an avian theme again. 😂

[slender turtle]

Thanks! That means a lot coming from you! Your Raikou/Machamp sprite is one of my favourite sprites ever, so clean

[dusk schooner]

Thank you

[tall moss]

"birds ARE real" to compete against the other guy

[hybrid shell]

AN ANIMATED SERVER ICON!?!!?

[tall moss]

yo xillo your martial artists were fucking amazing

[quartz locust]

YOU DID RAIKOU / MACHAMP TOO, XILLO!? 😮

[dusk schooner]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked them

[quartz locust]

Jesus Christ, someone stop this man. 😂

[slender turtle]

I must apologize directly to Gamr for my blanket theme haha and but also thank you for your blunt honesty. I will do better with my theme next time hahaha

[dusk schooner]

Lol, thanks

[slender turtle]

Xillo really killed it, theme was awesome and some great sprties

[quartz locust]

I think another "choose your own theme" contest would be good eventually, now we all kind of know what to expect. 🙂

[dusk schooner]

I enjoy the simplicity of a kanto themed set

I know it's not the most creative, of course but that's ok

You guys all did a good job

[slender turtle]

Thanks Xillo!

[tall moss]

i thought yours was gonna be like, igglybuff, cleffa, magby etc

the kids of kanto mons

[tiny trellis]

some of my favorite sprites (in no particular order)
the jello, absol/hitmontop, bibarel/cofagrigus, raikou/machamp, eggbert, duck sword, mawile/vileplume, skarmory/blaziken(I think it's blaziken), togekiss/ninetales, cubone(or marowak?)/slowpoke

[slender turtle]

That would have been more creative for sure haha

[misty acorn]

Thanks for the kind words mr gamr man

[tiny trellis]

well, I lied about the order, it's the order that I found them in #sponsored-polls-old

[dusk schooner]

As I said before yours were awesome. The Deep One was one of my favourites and always love a good lovecraftian horror theme

[tiny trellis]

Thanks. I imagine most of the references went over people's heads (while the spiritomb one was the only one that wasn't an explicit reference to anything), but I had great fun in coming up with them and making them. Well, the deep one was frustrating, took almost the whole month fine tuning that one.

[crisp cargo]

the spiritomb octillery is a fucking banger

[dusk schooner]

Such a clever mix of the 2

[crisp cargo]

i need to make more spiritombs

extremely underrated mon for fusions

plus people liked spiritomb/xatu

[tall siren]

I love that everyone got their real names and I got jello, eggbert, and duck sword

[slender turtle]

Octillery/Spiritomb was so good!

[misty acorn]

the quality level of spiritomb fusions is insanely high

[tall moss]

its hard af to work with tho

[silver merlin]

i love spiritomb bodies

[crisp cargo]

yeah no doubt about it

i think i got a cool idea in mind for spiritomb/flareon though

[cedar quest]

The doom wasn't really well conveyed imo

[tall moss]

what would you have done differently?

[silver merlin]

yeah actually thats a good question

@cedar quest what wouldve you done to my porygon z deoxys

[cedar quest]

Deoxys is a virus right, and your theme is digital. Computer. Virus. Use the different forms to allude to well-known viruses over the years, of just the various types of viruses

@silver merlin

[silver merlin]

i did not think of that lmfao

mf wants me to sprite the iloveyou virus

[cedar quest]

More fusions like your Mawile, where the bloom have an inherit immediate danger.

[crisp cargo]

attack form with tentacles making a heart shape

[tall moss]

but thats less creative ^

[silver merlin]

see it sounds fun and all but then like

you have to make it

[tall moss]

^

[crisp cargo]

you made the 4 forms

[silver merlin]

difference is that those are basic lol

(and dont need a unique concept which in turn would require way too much work and time in general

[cedar quest]

Like you could have done one like a trojan virus, another like ransomeware, bloatware, whatever. Let me say this straight. Yes the fusion is gorgeous, it's amazing. But that's how I look at things.

It is just more profitable to just play for the podium

[crisp cargo]

also i wouldnt say deoxys is a virus, it's more a weird alien

[dusk schooner]

It absolutely is a virus

[silver merlin]

cool, now sprite those in the 96x96 format while making the fusion still recognizable and animate them all

i played the safe route and it worked, concept could have more to it but thats how i roll

[crisp cargo]

i'm infected with deoxys i will now become psychic type who dies to a sneeze 😔

[dusk schooner]

Deoxys is a mutated alien virus

[crisp cargo]

oh it actually just straight up says it's a virus

...huh.

[cedar quest]

Yeah

[crisp cargo]

why tf does it have the most generic-ass abilities then

[silver merlin]

thats just every legendary

[crisp cargo]

rather ability

true

[silver merlin]

pressure omg so hype

[crisp cargo]

deoxys should get a mummy-like hidden ability

[dusk schooner]

Well its whole thing about the forms and its body changing to adapt to situations is really its true gimmick

[crisp cargo]

or something that transforms the opponent into deoxys on contact

[silver merlin]

this would take more than a month to do lol

oh yeah and think of the designs

[crisp cargo]

also some adaptability it doesnt even have adaptability or transform

[tiny trellis]

Earth: cell, Deoxys: virus, Rayquaza: antibody

it's kind of neat

[dusk schooner]

Exactly, it's really cool

Also that little purple orb is his brain and he gets mad if you touch it

[silver merlin]

huh i never knew

https://tenor.com/view/earth-lore-earth-lore-meme-caption-gif-25707753

[tiny trellis]

oh yeah the transforming thing also goes well with the virus thing, since viruses often mutate really fast

[silver merlin]

yeah i thought about that 😎 😎

[tiny trellis]

so basically deoxys is one of the best pokemon concepts

[dusk schooner]

It's my favourite legendary/mythical/whatever

[quartz locust]

I think it does the whole 'otherworldly' thing way better than the Ultra Beasts did. 🙂

[crisp cargo]

well ultra beasts aren't otherworldly, they're otherdimensionly

[silver merlin]

i love xurkitree

best ub

[tall moss]

im gonna 1000% fight you on this cuz my different takes on my theme are the thing im most proud off

spiritomb/meganium: 108 souls doomed to reside in stone still found a way to blossom :y
absol/roserade: a blooming omen of doom (absol dex entry)
murkrow/bellossom: lil witch that dooms you with its deceptively pretty but very deadly belladonna flowers
shedinja/venusaur: doomed, dried husk of a bloom that also dooms you if you look at it (sheinja hole do be like that)
and then mawile/vilemplume thats the most lame cuz its just a murder flower

[tiny trellis]

Yeah zurkitree is my favorite of them. I think the lack of a real face does a lot for the design being not of this world

[silver merlin]

yeah me too!!

porygon-z/deoxys boring
porygon-z/garbodor boring + big
porygon-z/kyogre boring
rotom/stunfisk ok

[crisp cargo]

kinda funny that the one with weakest theming in your opinion got silver

[tall moss]

its just a badass looking sprite, thats what people vote on

[crisp cargo]

(absolutely deserved, just funny)

[tall moss]

not the epic lore that only exists in my head 😔

[silver merlin]

i do not make lore for my sprites

not even names lmfao

literal robot

[crisp cargo]

uh spiritomb xatu is a cursed totem pole

that's it

[tall moss]

absol/roserade leaves white or black flowers on peoples porch to announce future events that are good or bad

[silver merlin]

the only way for Porygon-Z/Deoxys to die is when it sees the things gamr wrote about it

[silver merlin]

yours were so great

[crisp cargo]

i would have tried joining but i'm slow and bad and was going through a low tide of content production

i'm on high tide now but mostly directing it to writing

[tall moss]

thank

[cedar quest]

You know what??

That's fair.

[silver merlin]

(i have no arguments for mine lol gamr is right when he talks about them)

[tiny trellis]

In future choose-your-themes we get to write a description of our theme

[silver merlin]

bru time to get ranked for your theme-description

[tiny trellis]

"You clearly overused thesaurus 4/10"

[cedar quest]

Not necessarily, my opinion is just that. An opinion.

[silver merlin]

i agree with your opinion then lol

[slender turtle]

Like I said above GamR, I appreciate your honesty and I will do better with my theme next time. Love that you take the time to give such thorough feedback, 'preciate it

[silver merlin]

ye its always nice to read

[thick atlas]

congrats katten

[wind topaz]

Wow I wonder who won

[silver merlin]

it was mammuth again 🙄

[silver merlin]

thanks xoto, been a bit since ive seen you

[thick atlas]

been lurking here now and then

but i have so much school stuff to do

[teal grove]

WAIT DONT TELL ME THERE’S GONNA BE ANOTHER SPONSORED COMP SO SOON

[dawn ivy]

"Find out..." " On the next episode off DRAGON BALL Z

[cedar quest]

Not any time super close by, but yep.

[teal grove]

So a sponsored contest based on one of the themes of this one

I hope it's interesting

[cedar quest]

Nope

I literally cannot tell you what the next one will be about rn, because I'm not the one making it, only hosting/paying for it

[teal grove]

ah, got it

[dry garden]

So when is the deadline for this contest?

[tall siren]

19 hours

[plush vale]

fusions in dragon ball, like that would ever happen

[silver merlin]

hey i havent seen you in a while

hows it goin

i think you made victreebel mamoswine no?

[dry garden]

Yeah it's been a while, been working on some other projects, but now I'm on a spritework mood again. Also yeah I did!

:D

[silver merlin]

heck yeah super nice to see you back ;)

[foggy reef]

nothing to see here, no sir

[dusk schooner]

Remember rule 7 lol, you'll have to keep your praise until after the comp

[foggy reef]

crap

ok fixed

[dusk schooner]

[foggy reef]

[weary pagoda]

I read ultra breasts 🐑

[dry garden]

Good to be back. (also I totally had to download the mspaint, cause window's new paint's ui is bad :Y)

[wind topaz]

I haven’t really felt any motivation to make a sprite for this contest

[teal grove]

excited for the GHT of the individual mons, but with 100+ entries it's probably still gonna be a few days

[quartz locust]

It's going to be a novel at this rate. 😂

[tall siren]

Are the classic comps usually only 5 days to submit?

[silver merlin]

ye

i can give more time

[tall siren]

😮

[silver merlin]

2 days maybe?

[tall siren]

Easiest negotiation of my life ❤️ ty Katten

[weary pagoda]

Damn nice! I who didn't have the time to enter 👀

[tall moss]

time to make 16 more crobats

[weary pagoda]

Are you soon done with your 1093 sprites by the way?

[silk gyro]

Can I repost a sprite to the contest? I posted mine last night, but then the time got extended, so I work on it more

[silver merlin]

the entry limit is 3

i said to not listen to skeln

[weary pagoda]

The only three situations where a sprite cannot be entered are:
-Doesn't follow the submission rule in a classic contest
-Was posted before the contest was announced
-Was made as a collab when it's specified you can't

[tall moss]

you told me i could submit 1093 entries tho

[silver merlin]

only if you got to 1093 entries total

anything less wont be allowed

(that isnt 3)

[silk gyro]

Make all the crobad's and starmeh's

[weary pagoda]

Kiwi probably meant she already sprited 1077 entries and only need 16 more Crobats

[silver merlin]

yeah def

ill make my main entry now

[tall moss]

@thorn robin mr biologist can you confirm this

[thorn robin]

I got that video recommended

He's usually right

But i can try do a little research

[teal grove]

oh i can confirm this

rats are closer to humans than they are to bats

same with mice

[crude cedar]

how much money do I need for a sponsored contest

i'd like to donate to the GamR Sponsored Contest Fund

0.63 USD

[silk gyro]

Hey i can send messages in the special contest THE ANSWER thread, someone might want to fix that

[ashen barn]

prolly a bit late to start a sprite, but i put crobat in the generator and randomised pokemon 2 5 times, i got moltres, do i do moltres/crobat or crobat/moltres or both

[mild furnace]

This weekend was a really bad time to be away from screens now I have basically no time to enter

[kindred cave]

@cedar quest i think i may have found the worst typo ever in the GHT

[cedar quest]

I don't know what you're talking about

[tall moss]

sex entry

do not sex entry the shedinja hole tho

i love ght

[kindred cave]

i know also the "spiritomb/octillery" part had me WHEEZING

i still cant get over how incredible that raikou/machamp is

[cedar quest]

I can admit when I'm baby brain

[tall moss]

gamr sometimes your takes really baffle me this, a charizard with a head spliced on? despite all the added lines and the neck spikes.. gets a 3

meanwhile this gets a 9 despite only being a recolor aside from the face

(no offense to whoever made it, i still thik its a great sprite)

[cedar quest]

I find it funny ((and a big difference is the theme there))

[ocean crown]

I appreciate the feedback I’m glad my ideas came across to you so clearly GamR

[cedar quest]

Byeah

[tall moss]

what theme was yours?

[cedar quest]

Medieval Times

[tall moss]

[ocean crown]

Yes

[tall moss]

really awesome sprites

[ocean crown]

My aegislash/marowak was the original sprite that kicked off my theme so I’m glad it was well liked in general

[tall moss]

its incredible

[kindred cave]

why did i see this and think "nah i wont enter" now mu stupid brain is telling me all the cool themes and sprites i could have done

[ocean crown]

Fun fact about my theme literally nobody would know, I actually joined this server as I was transitioning to a new job that I’m currently at, which is actually the dinner theatre “Medieval Times” (idk who all lives in the states or knows what that place is but yeah)

So I actually had some real-life inspiration for my theme ideas

[tall moss]

no idea where or what that is but

[cedar quest]

oh sick

[dusk schooner]

That's pretty cool. I really liked your horse dude, that one was sick

[ocean crown]

It’s a medieval themed dinner/tournament with live jousting, hand to hand combat and bussin foods

[slender turtle]

Thanks for the feedback GamR glad you sorta enjoyed my sprites even though my theme was terrible. This was my first contest and it has pushed me to go harder on my sprites. My theme next time will be actually good @cedar quest

[cedar quest]

I liked a lot of your sprites, that Squirtle/Magmemite was really neat imo, but yeah, your theme being wayyy too vague and covering a lot of things with no real focus really brought down a lot of your scores, I look forward to what your future brings, that's for sure 😄

[mossy belfry]

hey thanks for liking my funny little cyndaquil dialga

[cedar quest]

HE'S SO FUNNY BRO!!!

Ik it's a really simple fusion, but the proportions carry it

[tall moss]

baby mons/giant ass legendaries make for super funny combos

[mossy belfry]

that shouldve been my theme

[tall moss]

showsprite pichu/giratina

[opal wadi]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aegide/custom-fusion-sprites/main/CustomBattlers/172.345.png

Hey @tall moss please go to #ask-a-bot or Aegide's calculator (https://aegide.github.io/) to avoid spamming this channel!

[ocean crown]

i was considering something similar for mine

[cedar quest]

Only thing I don't think I directly mention is atleast in one of your entries, you should have over-exaggerated a snout

[ocean crown]

was gonna call it "powerful pipsqueaks"

it was gonna be small bodies with fully evolved heads

[cedar quest]

Maybe I did, I don't remember, been a long week

[ocean crown]

or small heads with big bodies one of the two

its ok gamr you can relax now youve done gods work this past few weeks

[mossy belfry]

i think this is my favorite sprite ever made of all time

[ocean crown]

love this one^

[tall moss]

same

i just wanna hug it ngl

[kindred cave]

I’m sorry but I think that if anyone on this discord would hug that thing there heads would fly to Sun and there feet to the core of the earth

[tall moss]

sweet death here i come

[dusk schooner]

I'm glad you like it, thank you

[slender turtle]

Thanks! Honestly appreciate all the effort you put into this. So stoked for the next one!

[kindred cave]

This would fit right in with the pins in spriter general

[slender turtle]

Honestly, same. So good

[tall moss]

hugging big buff furries is just another tuesday in spriter-general tho @charred crescent

[kindred cave]

I don’t know how to respond to this

[tall siren]

Same it's clean af and unique

[cedar quest]

I'll begin DM'ing those about payment soon

[tall siren]

I'm very pleased with my feedback, thank you GamR!

[mild furnace]

Alright guys, now that GHT's officially released we can start shitting on eachother

[wind topaz]

What does GHT stand for? GamR Hate Train?

[rain stump]

we can shit on eachother?

[wind topaz]

I agree with this, many people just make big extravagant sprites for no good reason, but this one makes sense

[thorn robin]

Epic gamr feedback moment

[gray igloo]

Oof, i kinda knew my theme was bad, but damn

[wind topaz]

It makes sense to be harsh when you’re going for money

[thorn robin]

Yeah

[teal grove]

SOMEONE FINALLY GOT THE REFERENCE

[silver merlin]

my feedback was

kinda nothing to do with the actual execution lmao

[teal grove]

Most of mine lost points due to my shit theme lmao

[silver merlin]

to me it felt more of a hate speech lmao

there was no constructive things about it, nothing to do better next time

just "too big i hate it"

"your theme sucks"

lmao.

[misty acorn]

yoooooo I won something

[teal grove]

You deserve it, that shit was amazingly creative

Having the eyes be counters was really funny too

[teal grove]

proceeds to win entire contest

[silver merlin]

like actually @cedar quest what do you want me to do to the actual sprite instead of shitting on my theme and that you dont personally like it?

just make it not big??

lmao

i am actually kinda pissed yes, you can dislike it but why the fuck would you make it sound like its the worst thing youve ever seen, it should not have fucking come to existence

[misty acorn]

In dont think gamr was trying to say that your sprites were bad in any real way

(But I doubt I'll be able to explain how I think his thought process on the feedback worked well at all so I'll just shut up now and let him explain 👀)

[silver merlin]

oh yeah ofc he wasnt. not at all

[feral maple]

I want to thank you gamr for the review at the end of the special contest, even if it is sometimes hard to hear critique, it is helpful

[thorn robin]

I loved mine, "no sprites?"

[rain stump]

was that because it was non-if?

[silver merlin]

lol not just

there was no actual thing for me to improve on

just that he hates them all

[deep wadi]

I think it looks neat

[placid pelican]

i guess your allowed to get mad

[misty acorn]

iirc he did say that the design of the garbodor could have been more coherent (which is real feedback that one can improve on) and he did say that the non-main deoxys forms were animated/sliced a little differently than the main one (which is also real feedbakc that one can improve on)

Like, I get that your feedback was pretty harsh all in all, but saying that gamr didn't give any feedback on what could be improved on is not fair imo 😅

[silver merlin]

cool, great feedback that has to make me redo everything?

[silver merlin]

and the other 40 paragraphs of him saying they were shit??

lmao you gotta realise the ratio of feedback to "i hate these so fucking much" is a little bit uneven

[deep wadi]

It kind of really is

[placid pelican]

They do seem pretty harsh, I know gamr said it would be but I’m not sure if it’s actually necessary

[silver merlin]

yeah being harsh really puts the point across 💀

[deep wadi]

There's harsh and then there's just plain rude

[placid pelican]

True

Gamr should of probably worded everything to sound nicer and just well be proper criticism

[deep wadi]

Also i didn't realize that you made the Porygon Z/Deoxys sprite, that's probably the only animated sprite I'll keep tbh 👀

[placid pelican]

Jeez

[deep wadi]

Yeah :/

[silver merlin]

yeah the fuck is the point with that

doesnt help your point at all

there is a border between "harsh" and "fuck you"

i think you're over in "fuck you" territory

[teal grove]

yes

[silver merlin]

i want to say some stuff but hey that'll break a rule so ill get away

[teal grove]

is it bad that i actually like GHT contests like this

[placid pelican]

Ght?

[silver merlin]

did your sprites get the same shit as mine?

didnt fucking think so

[deep wadi]

Is GHT the guy running it?

[teal grove]

i mean, most of my critique was about how my theme was shit (also because i accidentally baited people with my theme, i had no idea that Gearification meant turning things into cyborgs)

[teal grove]

gamr's honest thoughts

[placid pelican]

Oh

[deep wadi]

Can be honest without being a dick

[silver merlin]

lol yeah cool, mine was "i hate these, fuck you. also the sprite is too big and the animation sucks, id say congrats but still, fuck you."

there are ways to give feedback without being the biggest jackass in the world

[deep wadi]

Made it sound like he has a problem with Katten instead of the sprites

[teal grove]

a lot of mine were also called standalone fusions like yours

[silver merlin]

thats not the fucking point

[teal grove]

which is understandable again because i worded my theme wrongly

[silver merlin]

he wasnt as rude

he wasnt as rude.

[teal grove]

take a breather

[silver merlin]

lol fuck no

for once im going to say what i fucking mean

[teal grove]

i'd be rude too if i had to give 100 dollars to someone whose sprites i didn't like lmao

[deep wadi]

Why?

[silver merlin]

actually yeah ill get away lmao

[teal grove]

well, this contest is a sponsored contest. Those who won first place get 100 dollars, but gamr is also the one who sponsored the contest itself

so he has to give 100 dollars of his money to katten because they won democratically, but he personally doesn't like the sprite 100%

[silver merlin]

oh yeah democratically he'd like to see it gone from his memory

[placid pelican]

Gamr seemed extremely rude on the garbodor sprite, especially because I don’t think his rules were clear enough on not allowing non IF fusions

[deep wadi]

Yeah but because he sponsored it, he should be a little bit less of a jerk to begin with

Like... Idk if it was me and he said that, even if I won money, i wouldn't want to take it

Because lol

He clearly doesn't want to give it

[teal grove]

he said at the start that non-if fusions wouldn't get anything

so he didn't give it a rating

[deep wadi]

Could have just said this can't go in IF, so it's disqualified

[silver merlin]

yeah, this.

[deep wadi]

Honest isn't an excuse to be a dick etc

[silver merlin]

why make it an option when youre gonna fuck it over anyways

[placid pelican]

Where? I cant find it

[deep wadi]

lol well

[foggy reef]

2 choice awards!!

now I can buy stuff on steam!!!

[teal grove]

[deep wadi]

"If possible" leaves leeway
