Do we need a background
I mean like
Can we have one? And if so are we allowed to use free clipart for part of it
nope i dont think u need background for it
But could i still use one?
that i'm not sure
I decided to not use it
Im happy with what i made for my last entry
The sketch was so ratchet and i gave up on it until today
I don't think I could do this now if I wanted to, I stalled too much. Even then I don't know if a total fusion would be accepted, or if it'd have to be an IF styled fusion[head+body]
I think more general fusions are accepted for this one, not 100% sure though. 😮
@cedar quest
It would have been, yeah
Jezza's back? 😮
been for a good while lmaoo
he left this server tho
Oh, that's a shame. I liked his redemption arc. 😢
oh shit, someone tried to use plagiarism in the contest?
(also 58 people entering the contest, woo)
plagiarism of who
Took me a few weeks, but I made it in time. My final contest entry 
smh more ||plagiarism||
I got 3 submissions in wowo
I was very tempted to|| fuse Dunsparce with Dudunsparce and just make it a really long dunsparce with multiple body segments|| as a joke, but i already entered one joke entry xD
Im looking at the most recently-added entries and one of them’s got me impressed
Its winner-quality to me
Wont say who it is until results are out
I will never understand the mindset of people that do plagiarism
Like is it that hard to not copy somebody else’s stuff?
There’s infinite possibilities when making art and people choose to just steal other peoples art
scarlet/violet mon + outside one see #event-announcements
It's in #special-contest
ah yea mb
||Dudunsparce but with only 2 wings and chin spikes||
And the original tail
@cedar quest Can I promote my art socials in the corner of one of my submissions? It's not covering the drawing
for the Moopsten contest
yeah ofc
yo I wish everyone luck in the Moopsten contest. I just entered my sprite which was my first sprite ever.
Good luck, also a newbie spriter here
Entried My second Sprite ever
Not new to spriting at all, new to pokemon spriting though. Entered my last minute entry and idk if my wrist will recover enough for a second.
Good luck to everyone.
Lots of luck to all ^^
Good luck to You folks!
Are we allowed to post contest entries in the gallery if they could be fusions in the game, or do we have to wait until the contest is over to ensure no bias?
is there another going on besides the special one?
for for the special one inehrently nothing in it could be fusions in the game
It ended already
Closed at 12
Which was 27 minutes ago
oof time zones
It said 12 EST in the messages
Actually wait it said 12 PM, so you actually have around 12 hours more
Bro, have everything calculated
You almost gave me a heart attack
I mean , they said 12 pm EST so it's different for everybody
I am guiding myself dor the mesage that says "There are 23 hours left"
kinda late but i wish everyone good luck on the contest :D
well we still have 2h! Let's gooo 
Fr tho, if anybody didn't submit their drawing/sprite yet, do it now 
2 hours!?!
i still have one more entry XD
holy shit I finally made it :'D
I overslept and now I have 45 minutes to get something done.. oh boy.
gambate
@cedar quest I'm gonna submit it, if it's too jokey just take it out. 😄
Dangit my procrastination dooms me again
I made a thing but didn't submit it and now I don't have it on me
Alright, that's all I'm getting in before closing.
I didn't enter this in cause I fricked up the dates but I'm gonna share it here cause oops
I thought it was cool
Surprised I got my entry done on time didn't get to shade tho </3
god this is so nerve racking 😭
Yeah worst part is I probably won't have time to watch it live so I'll have to see what was said about mine later
i think you'll be able to catch on , the live starts 31 hours later 😭
That's fair, I wish I had the time to do another but I think I'll just settle with my grafaiai x ballaphone
Yeah your right 💔
I straight up forgot about it till yesterday
im gonna cry 
Rule 7 kinda epic ngl
i already can't wait for the livestream :D
yeah it doesnt spoil
I'm glad this rules exist, but sometimes I'm too hype and I forget
yesss livestream!
starts in about....... 31 hours :)
i can't wait that long 
I think I will perish
try nap
How am I supposed to wait 30 hours?
30 hours nap?
bingewatch something
overdose on drugs
AAAAAAH, MY TUMMY HURTS
I do it daily, it doesnt work
you can watch half of breaking bad in that time
You can also watch half of the Marvel universe movies in that time I think
i jsut hope the livestream doesnt happen when i was asleep XD
Wait there's a time set for the stream?
I can not download by mega is there another link?
Wrong chat
@crude cedar @quiet laurel
Siete. 😛
Good luck to everyone who submitted! I'm really excited to see how this one goes. 😄
I don’t really care if I don’t win I just wanna see how people react to seeing my sprite
i have thought of a cool combo but i dont know which program to use
is there like a preferred program
Some people prefer gimp (not recommended for beginners) but I use and really enjoy using krita
I use ibisPaint X
I use paint.net it works for a free option
For pixelart??
I use Ibis too but pixelart is my achilles heel.
I use it mainly for art but i have done pixel work on it
i use microsoft paint, piskel, and gimp
I use fire alpaca
I use aseprite
I use piskel, fire alpaca, and photoshop
I use medibang paint and piskel
😭
12h until the stream!
12? I thought it was 5pm EST. Has it changed?
Oooh so it's 1am for me.
rip

Me waiting (I got impatient)
where did you even get a notice for the stream?
That sucks, it's at like 5pm for me
ill look it back later
Same
I'll be off work as soon as it starts so I shouldn't miss mine if they go in alphabetical order
Imagine sleeping through the stream and when you wake up they’re like "hey, you, you're finally awake. You won $75"
That's gotta be the best morning ever
Not me thinking of a funny ||Tinkaton||/Bisharp idea 3 days after the contest ended
lol didn't even think about this, hope it's USD
Getting paid in CAD as a CAD user: Broke
Getting paid in USD as a CAD user: Woke
Getting paid in CAD as a USD user: Double Broke
I literally just use MS Paint. :
I get paid in CAD that gets converted to GBP through PayPal. 
ms pait gang yay
oh yeah the stream is today i forgor lmao
O damn whats the conversion rate on that
bro 9 hours?? its gonna be 2 am for me there lmaoo
Not good. 😂
Oh I think it's USD to GBP, but the company is Canadian. 😅
damn that's not confusing at all lol
I have learned to use piskel but before that I only used ms paint I only used gimp to remove the white background
Now I also use gimp to sketch then I shrink it down to sprite
How good is piskel?
It’s really solid if you want to animate
Compared to ms paint it’s only lightly less intuitive to use but it has more customization than ms paint, like layers, and canvas settings
Also if you import something into piskel to use as a reference for example, if shows you the color palette of what you imported in that you can customize
I'll take it to be fair, CAD to GBP is 0.6ish, but USD to GBP is 0.8ish. I'm already getting severely underpaid at 0.8ish, 0.6ish would be even more blatant exploitation. 😦
oh, of course lol
At first I participated for being competitive but
Now I want to win so Moopstep notices me
I'm just ready for this to be judged so I can post it, I actually really like how mine came out
A dollar is 3 of my currency 💀
I just want my joke entry to get a laugh or an "awwww"
I want mine to uh
Win?
That too yeah
I accidentally put a lot of effort into my joke entry and now wish I had done a serious entry in the same style
I only have like , 1 or 2 entries that are good enough
I only have 2 entries
I wish I have had more time for my last entry
I fell asleep during the process
So had to do it real fast
I’m surprise that I got all 5 of mine in despite the game coming out and me sinking a ton of time into it
There is someone throwing hate to the contest host for doing videos with gardevoir fusions
Some people just like to complain
yeah I saw it in the comments.. like, it's a meme, and the host could also just like gardevoir for it's design, which is understandable
Yeah, and the fusions specially are focused on gardevoir's dress
Dresses are always good looking
Personally, I think that everyone that uses a Guardevoir fusion should be sent straight to Ohio
Ohio, why?
Have to love how someone cared about not being able to do something specific in a ficticious escenario
And someone giving them the answer for their specific fictisious problem
the key word is good
even if it's the best poutine in ohio, it will still be the worst compared to one in Québec
In an other dimension, there is a depressed me eating a shit poutine in Ohio, all because I wanted to sprite a character in a pretty dress 
Already there.
I get all the gardevoir fusions then, I see no downsides.
One of my entries was an advanced edit, and the other entirely scratch.
I am already in Ohio
where do I go now
Ohio 2
AYO CINCI

The best Ohio city
Bengos best NFL team
🤷
I really hope I don't get hate because of one of the fusion I did for the contest 
And I also hope that for all the people who did gardevoir or other «fan service» pokemon
I still feel bad for what I did to poor meowth
Dang it
I Lost the oportunity to make a Magnezone/||Orthworm|| fusion
And make it look like the Destroyer from terraria
Magnezone/rayquaza then
Magnezone rayquaza sounds sick
Do mot send them to me 
I do not want them 
only 🌽
in a comment section for the pokemon fusion contest
those people should be send to Ohio lol even if you don't want them GamR 
like it's so detailed and written in an immature way that it doesn't seem to be a joke 
Oh fuck what the fuck
So is he not streaming the voting today?
Still 15 min left
says his stream starts in 12 mins
Where?

Who?
Moopsten is the one judging the first set
damn I'm happy he liked it!
Ayy you had some awesome ones Arinna
I wish i had done 5 now xD
i did 2 and a joke entry so xD
nearly
This dude has dedication tho
sad that the sprite look so blurry XD
x3 eee
Yeah it was mad to do
i can imagine
Im rlly wondering what he thinks of mine,,,,
Regardless of my placement i just wanna know~
gencky's art is so clean
BELLICHAMP

Dang, lots of amazing entries this was still fun to participate in regardless of results.. lots of cool ideas too.
This may motivate me to try my hand at some missing fusions for the game, who knows.
Im so into this, looking at all the entries
Man, I wish I realized the ending date better now seeing some of the other entries lol.
there is always next time! and you did a great job with the one you made
Thank you. Yeah, always a next time.
This was the first contest ive entered since im new here. So I know how to approach the next one now
it's you're first? damn
same
Yeah, I need to bring my animation game next time.
I need to learn animation lol
First pokemon contest I entered, definitely not new to the field.
Who’s that
The streamer who plays IF
the one sponsoring the contest!
and whos judging this contest
Oh
Yooo he saw mine
Yeahhh he was very amused, nicely done xD
Thanks
you here that swadloon? do a plushie! XD
YOU GOT A WHOLE SCENARIO X3
Ah man I'm late :')
Just a tad
he say great things about yours Angel 🙂
you were first shown actually angel
second *
oh I missed aces
So wait, were there actually usable sprites always made for s/v mons? cause some of these look like the same template was used.
No pixel sprites for SV pokemon
some were made by some of our spriters for smogon its possible that some of those were used
but a lot were probably emulating the official pose
in that art
Hm, see I wasn't sure smogon sprites were usable or not.. that's why I did charmander for my second entry lol.
I created my own ||Veluza|| sprite to use as reference
Aww~ I'm glad :')
Yeah I did my own custom base for my scratch entry.
same
top 5 gonna be announced soon! stressed!
Yeah.. lots of good entries, and that's in sprites and art, could also be curve balls and judged on like originality and such.. it's hard to say.
really hard to say
ANGEL!!!
Ahhhhhh!!!!!
I should of done my drawing in my artstyle lol
I was watching the stream!!!
!!!!!!!!!
No way
GG
Also congrats to arinna, naspyta and Wendi as well
🎉
Congrats to the winners.
GGs!!!
I knew it :)
Praise lord Helix
Well, making honorable mentions is nice. Congrats to the winners, and good work everyone.
good job everyone!
ggs to everyone
That was such a successful contest
When is the community one? :"3
I loved seeing everyone's entries

I feel he didnt noticed any of my references
Im sad i didnt join this community sooner
same
^
Lol ditto
same here man
Likewise, honestly.
I've been in a slump for the modding project I'm apart of, not really able to sprite anything.. saw this contest and was like "You know what, why not?" Winners were well deserved, interested to see winners for the community vote.
Aye will be cool to see what the majority thinks
I also had been feeling really down and self-conscious about myself as a person, im glad that at least my soul’s artwork is appreciated :) i’d be happy to just let my work speak for me
He only liked the bird in my design
I'm working in video games (texture artist), and my passion is character design, but recently I did'nt really practice my art, and when I saw this community, it gave me so much inspiration and I jump right back into character design, forgot how fun it is to just create ❤️
i feel so warm and fuzzy, even though i lost. man this was fun
It was nice enough just having them mention and talk about the entries, winning was just cake xD
Same. It was nice to see him take the time to make nice comments for everyone
Same aaaaa
A lot of contests people will just skip to the winners
Im still blushing hard from the comments of my Tatsmewgiri and Palatwo!! Im not very physically emotive what is happeninggg
Seeing all the excellent sprites makes me wish I had more time to make an animation or more experimental fusion. There were so many incredible sprites and I had no idea the pokemon fusion community was still going so strong :0
Same, I had to do my entries last minute and with my disability that was really rough. Literally last minute.
I thought I had at least four more days.
Aww I'm glad everyone is enjoying this contest
Tbh i forgot to do espathra breloom
I used to make pokemon fusions back around 2008-2012, seeing the community dwindling in activity towards the end. It's really awesome to see people still doing this stuff and I might just have to stick around 🤔
yooo congrats to the winners and everyone who entered!!
Congrats winners! (I would’ve entered but I didn’t realize what the competition final date was 🥲)
Lol
thats a great news to wake up to lol
Yes!!! U got no 2!!!
Yeah the Gallade and Gardevoir duo was fantastic
yes it was great!
yea that art was absolutely top tier
nah g the ppl who got a place deserve it way more than me
That christmas Sceptile is gonna get a lot of love in the community vote you watch
if there is a person I think absolutely deserves a place tho its minced grass
Yes
its already had a lot of chatter about it in the spriter general chat
Yeah that is sick and deserved the 1st place. Very impressive!
fr lmfao
Thanks xD
that shouldnt work but oh god that worked so damn well
he was A NIGHTMARE TO ANIMATE
ya even animated it
u did an amazing job as with as the animation gr 😩
i animated the whole thing and forgot to add the hidden spikes on the back wheels
and had to REDO IT ALL
animating is painstaking but when you finish its so great
i couldnt help but laugh loud when i finished my|| toedscool|| animation
Agreed
But it paid off in the end ^w^
like this,

ooh ima try that
Dream happy dreams uwu
hai just came from the contest livestream am late
Its ok u can still watch it on his channel
Oh right, I completely missed the stream
Thanks to everyone who participated ❤️ sorry not everyone could win, but best of luck to y'all in the community vote! This was my favorite stream ever by a LARGE margin
It's neat to see different perspectives though, ngl
it was very fun to use SV mons
I'm happy that u love our work :D
im definitely participating again if/when you do another
https://twitter.com/Gandalfmonkey/status/1598881149094617088?t=u2uXIMSMcaJBFEQYHFaxLg&s=19 Thanks Moop for hosting! Here's the shiny I mentioned in my submission if curious lol
I hope so! I still giggle when I think of your toedscool
Speaking off I should post it on my twt too after I got back from work XD
Same!
thanks to ya for hosting mate, got back to spriting cuz of it after not doing so for months
Nah thank you for Gamr for facilitating, I just messaged them and said I wanted to sponsor a contest and they took care of the rest
Oh dang results are out?
I have to watch it later
But WOW that won???
Such a holy machine xD
Omastar/atv
Omastar/Venomoth should just be that Lol
DANG I was almost disqualified for the Scyther Scythe XD
Would that have disqualified me from the contest entirely?
Nah man, I don't think so
Like if that Scythe was directly taken from the sugi, someone's entries are literally just that, the sugis'
It's one thing to take from Pokemon's official stuff, that's fine, we do that for bases all the time here
It's another to take someone elses' artwork and edit it. That's what we DQ'd
Which is why I got confused about the smogon bases being used.
Wait what?
I was almost disqualified for using 3 Mons though xD
Same with Smogon bases, those are free use for the most part
Ohhhh, you mean from the podium, or smthn.
As I said, I did. NOT watch the stream
I think moopsten was just talking about removing that submission in particular, because of the triple fusion. But not your other ones
A triple Fusion
Yeah I guess adding the Scythe was like a third mon
But Tinkatons use parts of Corviknight and Bisharp for it's hammer
So my concept was that my fusion hunts Scythers and chops off their scythes for it's weapon HAHA
Morbid yes but it's nature
I would not say the same, that's not a triple
Apart from the sycthe, there are no other Scyther features, and considering Tinkatons' lore, it's dead on
How in the world am I the only one who made a Sprigatito fusion? Where are all the Sprigatito fans???
lol
they all evolved their Sprigatito 
I would but 1. I am terrible at spriting 2. no one requested it and 3. theres no sprigatito base sprite yet I think
Yknow..this gave me an idea.
Oh sheet, stream went by while i was sleeping
Congrats to the people that made it to his top 5, and most importantly, congrats @queen panther for winning!
He really liked slither illusion :)
Idc if i win, imma live off of the dopamine from woopsten's comments for at least a week
Cheers mate.
And yeah there were some very.... Uhhh..... "honest" people in that chat
Yeah alright but
The commentary he gave on your fusion was just so damn funny because of how perplexed he was of your creativity
And looking back at the chat during my fusions people are just calling moopsten down bad for liking the lopunny fusion
Ahyeh it's funny tye first video I saw of his was the YouTube short of when he went into his box and scrolled over to a lopunny and vaporeon to fuse them into his surf pokemon
Lol
That's what got me into the game coz I hadn't heard of it till then
But he is a funny dude. Made me laugh a fair few times with some of his comments. Dude is so nice too
Yeah, great guy
Made the effort to give unique feedback on every entry
Mhm
Now we wait for the server voting, i wonder which sprites and drawings will win here
Will be interesting to see
When and how long the votation will be?
torterra fusions kinda epic it is what it is
Probably lasts between a week and two weeks, will start somewhere today or tomorrow probably
Moop said that if he had more money he'd give it to slither illusion
If he had more money he'd give it to so much sprites lol, it was fun seeing him geek out about everything
I was SOOOO HAPPY when he geeked out ab my Pokémon
a
I don't think I will be able to get the game on time for the charizard raid if I win even
lol funnily enough i saw that as my second worst one for this contest
I kinda really wanna to the Glimmora/Turtwig line now
But having sprites for my rocky flower boys to work with would be kinda nice 
kingofthexroads has some
I mean, you only need colors if it’s the head, right?
i think
just need to credit him if you copy paste anything
also idk how he makes these sprites so fast this shit takes ages
here
Holy crap, thats a lot already 
guy works fast lmfao
Most of them seem to be custom poses too, tf
How long has this dude been spriting to get this good
lmfao look at my shit in comparison 🧌
Ik they make sprites for showdown so that’s probably at least a few years already
i do too lmao
13 years i think
smth like it
Wait WHAT
Jesus christ, man can sprite with their eyes closed at this point
Are all of these already in showdown btw?
No, not all of these are for showdown
no lol
we cant just have king do all the sprites like id be out of job
we reserve a couple each
LeParagon be like
for example ive done like way too many backsprites for hisui cus nobody wanted to do them 😎
my hisuian decidueye sprite has been added to smogon actually lol
They are to spriting what Chaos is to greek mythology
In the beginning, there was only LeParagon
where can we vote tho? or is it spriter only vote
Voting hasn't started yet
oh i see
he called my fusion The Pooper and i think thats the highest compliment ive ever received
And you animated my Hisuian Voltorb. 😄
ye lol animation in the bw style is hard lol
idk how the actual animators in there do it
Heck, spriting in the BW style is hard enough. 😂
Wasn’t there a program someone made for spriting like in bw?
Spriter was its name i think, very creative
yeah but bw animations dont just work like that lmao
bw animations have "commons" and "rares"
commons being the ones that loop 3-4 times
rares being the ones that appear once after a common
and then it loops from there
and also in smogon we dont use rig animations
So manual animation is required
Which is a pain
The sprite next to my name is a testament to that fact
I had made different sprite loops for the ring, gear and rest of the body, so i had to actually use math to find the earliest frame where all of them were the same as the first frame
Have some way to evolve machoke?
( Machoke evolve to machamp with trade )
you found this channel but not the rest of this servers's on the list? 
It's cool that moonstep thought that one of My entries was clever and original lmao
Beeing my third Sprite
I feel pretty good now
u deserve it, all those sprites looks amazing
Aw tysm <3
just watched the vid
really happy for yall, didn't see a few submissions before
holy crap I missed some good ones
also, surprised how many people animated their sprites lol
my lokix sprite was originally gonna have some special animation like bw sprites, but those fucking flames caused me so much animating pain i just couldn't do it with my exams
that animation is 8 frames and probably took 8 hours off of my life
well, sprite and animating combined
I animated my entries thinking I was pulling a Katten
turns out everyone can animate tiny squares, given there is a cash prize lol
We still have Rule 7. 
It's tricky to enforce though right now because of the podium placers and such, but there's a traditional voting round coming up too. 😄
It's all good. 🙂
what is the contest about?
oh cool, sadly i wouldn't be able to participate
I mean the deadline's already happened, so you couldn't even if you wanted to. 😅
i'm bad with time based work
and turning off reply pings
anyway my sprites are not really good, they are more like placeholders for those standard sprites
can't really compete with people with better abilities.
Looking back at the stream, moopsten really was like "i need to give yall more money" 50% of the time lmao
Such a cool dude, i do hope this isn’t the last we hear of him
hope it inspires more contests
But like rlly, it’s as if u guys do have a gift from god
Yeah I only caught a little bit of the stream, but he seems like a really nice guy. 😄
A lot of streamers get on my nerves, but Moopsten seems like a really wholesome person just doing this out of love for a community, that's really cool. 🙂
How to evolve Honedge
you are a funny biscuit
Same way you'd do otherwise
Someone shouldve made a joke fusion of koraidon and miraidon that’s just cyclizar
level it up to 35 like normal and also wrong channel.
wait why was the last poll in great calamity called semifinals
typo
I really hope we get another SV contest, i'm having so many cool ideas
unless someone sponsors it specifically like moop did i doubt we will
that was a very unusual contest for this server
it was awesome
but not the norm here
Yeah
And make the front one something special, idk
I'm gonna try and make that after I finish the fusion i'm doing rn
maybe we might get legend arceus mon instead
Drampa?
the next contest should be fun, likely it'll be the secret santa one
(unless I'm wrong and there'll be another between it)
that sounds super fun
Oh yeah for anyone who submitted an entry for the Scarlet/Violet fusion contest! My video on it is ready to be published but I want to ensure that all artist are credited. So if you have a Social Media link you want me to plug, feel free to add it here 🙂 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18aYtpR20hCdbsROH7AuqIJuvoNByx1l8DE5Q3Pk-xSU/edit#gid=0

Do you guys plan to do secret spriter this year?
will we have the voting for the moopsten contest too?
probably soon as well
this will be fun
what does secret spriter entail?
You choose a fusion to sprite... but then stuff gets rambled and you need to sprite someone else's fusion
iirc
If anyone gets a klinklang fusion you know who it belongs to
can't wait for secret spriter!
Secret Santa, but for spriters. 🙂
OH that sounds really fun
You don't have to keep the sprite you got a secret though, because obviously it'll go into #spriting-discussion at some point in most cases. Just don't say what you personally requested. 😄
Is artist allowed or is it sprites only?
Sprites only, it's a normal contest. 🙂
ah got it 🤣
Although that's no reason to be discouraged if you're not normally a Spriter, it's open to people of all skill levels and it's just a fun time more than a contest. 😄
😳
moopsten is so cool tbh, doing all this for the community is a wonderful thing lol
Ehe maybe I will sprite if I got the time
Aye he follow me too! :D
Feels like a breath of wholesome air, honestly, everyone's just spreading the love about the sprites (whilst respecting Rule 7
) and that's fantastic to see. 😄
btw guys be sure to vote for [REJECTED] and [BLOCKED] pls
I love how everybody is on twitter, and you have me on fucking instagram lol
if there is another contest I already come up with some ideas and concepts 
And then there's me, who is not on any other social media with this username. 😅
Its not too late to create one XD I never use my insta account so far cuz my family can see them XD
LOL even your fucking name on smogon is different
There's a reason for that, my old account got banned for no reason. 😂
well I had a twitter account about almost 10 years ago back in high school (god time pass so fast 👀 )
Like, I just logged back in one day and it was like "you've been banned" after I don't think I posted anything at all on there. 😅
and I didn't post anything since
Oh I deleted my old one from school, it wasn't under the name Blaquaza though. 😂
sounds like it got hacked
I'm just too lazy to clean my old twitter account, maybe I could just close it and reopen a new one
umu!
fuck it I'll add my twitter (I'll do some clean up later, cringe) I'm such a sheep
If I get your request I can do an artwork too... but don't expect anything more than a 4-year olds scrambling on ms paint 
🇩🇰
Me too except with spriting XD
Same here, just look up in the chat
Truth be told, I don't even know if I am doing it today 
I plan on it
But we'll see
In like
How many hours, approximately, is it planned?
Then i know whether to stay up longer or just sleep
It's 8 am for me rn
So can contest participants vote? As long as its not for ourselves?
Man… holiday fusions 👁️👁️
Literally delibird mixed with anything
lol you can vote for yourself
watch as 70% of the entries are just delibird fusion XD
I shall endeavour to make some without delibird
Maybe the rule should be you can't use delibird xD
Stantler is right there
nah, i doubt anyone would vote for the winners that moopsten choose already, besides i wanna vote for everybody else that does amazing art/sprite :)
oh ye XD i forgot we got reindeer
That’s in the game?
Oh would it have to be an IF fusion.
true true
I was assuming?
delibird and stantler is guaranteed since they are gen 2 idk about abomasnow tho
I know abomasnow isn't in the game
I was just thinking of Christmas related things and what pokemon could relate to it
I mean there's jirachi
A star
if this is about secret spriter it doesnt have to be christmas related
wow u big brain, i have never thought of using jirachi in a christmas theme
last year i made blackboots do pykumuku rayquaza ;)
ooh
So is it. You make a request and then requests are given out randomly? Or a user is given a random user?
Or is it yet to be decided how it's done
That sounds like a fun one to make
Jirachi sudowoodo (Christmas tree with rectangular ornaments and a star topper)
who says you cant vote for yourself 
been doing it since day 1
Hahaha I don't think I could. Wouldn't feel right xD. Especially as artists rarely like their own work
ez me too
i would draw something, being proud of it, then find it cringe weeks later 
that means youve improved lol
the video is up!
omg!!!!

Flagged as spoiler for the people who wanna keep the surprise||That's a heavy spoiler of the results||
Sweet, another employer just got back to me
I've got an interview for tomorrow, so....
Gonna have to push back the first polls a lil' bit
Apologies, but I've gotta have priorities
Pretty sure this counts as scarlet violet spoilers btw
armarouge was revealed in the trailers
Xillo said spoiler everything
hard to do when you're talking about an sv contest
I could've sworn they were all spoilered, ig ask a mod about it
It's weird
I'll bug Xillo about it when their online
Fine I’ll just unembed it for now
Tag it just to be safe, yeah. 🙂
Outside of #pokemon-winds-waves, we're spoilering everything related to those games. Some people haven't even seen any trailers beyond the initial one and want to go into the games blind. 😅
In about three or four weeks it's open season and we're not going to be enforcing it so that people who get the games at Christmas can have a decent amount of time to play them blind. 🙂
Then wed have to spoiler the stuff in #special-contest too yknow
The stream's in there
Oh I didn't even realise that it wasn't spoilered, @cedar quest, you able to tag it as a spoiler or just unembed it? 🙂
Maybe a disclaimer saying "don't click on it if you don't want SV spoilers" as well. 😄
how the voting gonna work then? is it gonna be all tagged?
Very explicit messages beforehand to not look unless you want spoilers is probably about as good as we can do. 😅
Probably, yeah
I'm talking big, bold, italics, the works. 🙂
tbh banette is one of the best pokemon to fuse
You can do a similar thing with mimukyu
Just make it a chibi version, and add the small mimikyu eyes
i like banette fusions cuz the zipper and the death stares
You haven't seen Mimikyu/Mew.
did someone do banette/mimikyu yet?
ya can check in the discord search
Yes, I had forgotten to turn on that setting in the example poll
How many polls are there Gamr
oof one I really like is matched up against another thats really good
What's self-elim?
k thanks
Eliminating yourself from the contest.
Yeah but how? When you submit 2 sprites and they face each other?
I don't like how the voting is made, tbh
For stuff like this
wai you ping
Oh, it wasn't for calling, actually using your phrase as example lol
Good stuff can been get out really early if facing another of similar quality
ya can reply without ping for future reference
Is the contest still on
the polls are here #sponsored-polls-old but you have to be a spriter to vote
Like to enter the contest
no it's closed
Oh
since december 1st
If I control what goes against what to a certain degree, that's just catering. Not how we do things
The "good" sprites can get eliminated early, and so can the ""bad"" ones, I shuffle the bracket, check for self-elims, and that's it
I don't put any control into the bracket, because that can (and most def will) have an impact on the winner, I leave it up to fate.
You're new to contests here, I understand that, but that's how it's always been, and always will be.
The way you say this makes it sound like a problem, when that's just how brackets work.
I normally do double elim for a much fairer experience, but this time, the time is simply not there.
seems like a fair explanation, thank you!
When is the next contest?
Tomorrow, but it won't include illustration
that was only one I've seen that did
What dose illustration mean
Like not pixel art
Yep
Dang
I couldnt find a general chat for the special contest, but I just checked the stream video of Moopsten checking the entries and I just wanna say I'm very happy that he liked my drawings. Just glad that concepts I thought would be cool are also appreciated by another.
Also Garbodor Defenders lets go
(Im SissyPrincessBrianna in the contest as we had to use our tags, I prefer going by MisterMonsterMaker for monster art stuff, but yeah my tag is Brianna, it's a loooong story)
I felt the same way when he reacted to mines, I'm just gonna say that I love the Garbodor/||Espathra|| that you made
quick question : does this mean that like, fusions that werent in the polls today wont be in any polls?
I hope not, kind of confusing what got them eliminated.
some fusions start in round 2 because maths
If you're curious about that, I explain it here: #event-general message
However, this single elim, where it's a tad different, rather than the seeding caring about making sure "half goes", it just needs to break it into that 64-32-16-etc. bracket style
So uh, what on earth is secret spriter?
pretty much, you type in a fusion
it gets randomly sent to another spriter
who then sprites it
and you also get one from another person
then you add them to the drive and its normal contest voting
Hi I just got here, could you explain how voting works plz ?
yes
the sprites are split up to four brackets
winners from each go to the finals
and the next to winners thingies go to the semis
winners from semis go to finals
and from there we vote on first second and third place
Just making sure, did u guys get my secret santa request?
Ok, thanks. Now i don't understand the "if" part
it just stands for Infinite Fusion
pretty much keep it to the pokemon that are in this game
I cannot wait to see these submissions lmao
gonna have to randomly generate mine lmaoo
Thats what I did and I love it so much
I cannot wait
i always send a fusion i think would be cute
katten putting kyurem / rayquaza
this gonna be the first time im entering somethin in this server, hopefully i do good 
i cant wait to see what hell comes out the other end
thats 10 entries already lol
ooo dang hm, well time to do what i always to do get a fusion idea, refresh the fusion gen till i get one that could be cool
i got breloom / sandlash last year and i believe delibird / stantler in 2020
oh now im excited, this fusion could be rly cool and its between 2 of my favorite fellas
so i'm curious what i will get this year
Ive put in my request
Was rather tempted to do klinklang/torterra since the current sprite is pretty meh, but id rather do that one myself
You could do it yourself and request it so you can do a poll together! Like a mini contest. :3
husk wishing pain to someone
watch out im going to do it
i finished it husk
took me 3 seconds
ure too late
Imagine forcing someone to do a Klinklang 
its the husk way of life
Slick Roof used Knock Down! It's super effective!
Pog
could be worse 
@silver merlin I did a stoopid
I put a pokemon fusion in the form that I was doing currently 
so either there will be an alt
or you could delete it
Is there an animation option again? Because if there is cool... But I'd like to actually enjoy making my sprite xD
wdym
Well for the secret santa sprite. Can you animate them or we making them all static
You can probably do it if you want, like in any other contest
Aight
yep
animation is not always the key to a free win though lol
definitely not
me receiving my free win for making the character move 1 pixel up and down 
lol id rather vote for a sprite that has cool concept and execution and isnt animated rather than a basic sprite thats animated
No ofc. Its just since there no point making it for the actual game. Contests a good opportunity to practice
gonna try to make my received fusion raw asf
I'm still trying to think of what to request
Husk is absolutely gonna req a Gear boy, and I do not wanna risk getting it 
smh now even gonna cook it
If I get a gear mon the sprite is gonna be shit and I'm not gonna be sorry 😤
gearados
What was it? 👀
Reshiram and zekrom scare me. I haven't attempted spriting them yet
I cannot get it to look good!!!! I've tried so much!!! 
This was what I had to make for the 1st secret santa. Still one of my favorite sprites I've made. Such a nice combo to work with ❤️
hope i dont get any complicated legends 😭 i dont think im ready for it
Not all that proud of my work from last year tho 
This'll be my first secret santa.
Should I enter this years???
first time as well here
I probably shouldn't, have no clue how much time I'll have
More the merrier
Since I still have the sponsored polls to do
WAIT HOLY SHIT, I FORGOR!!!!
Uhhhh
Be back soon
Ooh yeah the next polls start soon.
There
Katten's telling it like it is
i gave mawile / roserade to someone in 2020
@sleek drum secret
oh ok mb
well drawdes already trying for klinklng rayquaza so thats out (tbc I'm not rquesting anything as I'mnot a spriter)
klinklang/reshiram?
Aye I got caught up completing the pokedex my sprite work has been on hold the last couple days
was more just making joke suggestions on cruel things to request
Oh god
My animation is paired with a really good sprite(?)
I probably won’t make it LOL
"Oh no their art is better than mine" - every artist ever
Yup
I once had a “my art is better than theirs” phase
But I felt guilty about that
So i punished myself every time I thought it
Aww bless xD
its gets to everyone lel you just gotta have that good balance!
When I was a kid I won one of those coloring page contests at the grocery store
I got a basket of Easter treats for it
I’ve been chasing that high ever since
Excited for how my request will turn out, dreading what's going be requested of me

i requested with a precise idea in my head, i hope the spriter who will get it is crazy enough to do it
Only been a spriter for 9 days, surely entering the contest is a good idea 🤡
well this is more an event than an contest
i entered my first contest after 14 days and got second so you should try
thats the name of the game

mentally preparing myself in case if i get a klinklang fusion 
I'm sure no one would be so despicable
whys everyone hating on the klinklang. machamp line is worse
Na hell na.
I even did an arceus/machoke 
i requested a klinglang head fusion x)

Proceeds to ban Husk from this contest to not have a Klinklang body too
sir where are your pants
inb4 klinklang/klinklang
at the soup store

third place !
