queen panther

That isn't sif

calm charm

wind topaz

Neat, I haven’t played any hacks yet

calm charm
#

#

its fun

wind topaz
#

I was considering Pikmin 1 remade in Pikmin 2

calm charm
#

Oh yeah, you mean like the pikmin² hack that still isn't out yet

brave pilot
#

How do I animate sprites?

#

I’ve never done it before but I feel motivated

vagrant thorn
#

basically by hand... frame. by. frame blurry_pain

wicked wolf
#

screw it. gonna make procedurally generated animation.

#

No hand drawn animation anymore. Only math

stoic oriole
#

math is for losers. everyone knows randomly guessing is the superior method

brave pilot
vagrant thorn
#

yup XD

#

but it's fun and rewarding to see the end result

mortal storm
silk gyro
#

I'm going to be honest, I have no freaking clue what to do

teal grove
craggy remnant

Contest Stuff

heyo person who just checked the pins of this chat, heres some contest stuff

forms to suggest your contest ideas:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLiAcHLUFHVcP77pvgT6K5patSi93tkoRTJkCQGnk7T9ITZA/viewform

if you want to host your own sponsored contest contact any sprite manager! preferebly @plucky arch or @stiff valley, they'll help you through it all

please dont talk about voting happening in #contest-polls before the said poll has ended (rule 7)

our funny system for polls:
Day 1: Preliminaries: 1st sprite of each bracket goes to Semis, 2nd and 3rd ones go to Quarters, a phase of four brackets.
Day 2: Quarters: 1st, 2nd and 3rd sprite of each bracket go to Semis.
Day 3: Semis: 1st and 2nd go to Finals ((semis should be split into two brackets if required by the amount of entries))
Day 4: Finals: 1st, 2nd and 3rd sprites go to the Podium

oh and lastly look at nubert just below this message

crude cedar
#

methinks me already has fusions ready for this contest lie

#

yeah i have mega gallade and meg gardevoir + gallade lie

silver merlin
#

cleaned up the pins

ocean crown
#

I believe sprites that have been made and submitted already are not able to be used for contests

crude cedar
#

i didnt submit them so lie

silver merlin
queen panther
#

copy, paste, save as = brand new file

silver merlin
#

= banned from contests

misty acorn
#

Man, Aegislash is the one mon where I would have even prefered Klinklang 🥲

queen panther
#

xDDD

misty acorn
nimble torrent
#

skill issueheehee

misty acorn
#

I know smh

ocean crown
#

I have done an aegislash head b4 but I want to try a body, that could be fun

crude cedar
#

this is making my life more difficult than it needs to be Despair

silver merlin
#

bodies are better than heads imo

#

way easier atleast lmao

cedar quest
#

Ig this is a good chance to get Qwil/Aegislash done

plush vale
ocean crown
#

Conceptually aeg body is much easier ye

stoic oriole
#

time to make a christmas themed sword

plush vale
#

candy cane

crude cedar
#

does aeg/weavile sound good 😭

silk gyro
#

Speaking of contests, @teal grove can I use your klinklang base please?

queen panther
#

kinda glad i got a save with the completed dex, easy way to look at every IF pokemon

silk gyro
crude cedar
#

OMFG

#

HUSK

ocean crown
#

The file in resources makes it easy for me

crude cedar
#

I HAVE AN IDEA

teal grove
#

keep it to yourself

crude cedar
#

no i want your opinion on it >:)

teal grove
#

alright, dm's

crude cedar
#

its currently in the making :petipixsmirk:

queen panther
#

This is a tough one

#

ive found a fair few that havent been done and are (potentially) unlikely candidates to be chosen

#

just thinking of what to do with em is tough

stoic oriole
#

just make em yellow and give em a sword

queen panther
#

xD

#

most of the ones ive considered already have Aegislash head fusions

vagrant thorn
#

I just gave the sword a fish to eat

queen panther
#

aye i saw, morbid

#

xD

mortal storm
#

I have a random question... contests are open for everyone, right? Not limited to a specific role? :s

queen panther
#

open to all yes

cedar quest
#

That is correct

#

But your entries gotta be pixel art, in the gen 5 style

#

So your are limited to a 96x96 canvas

mortal storm
#

Alright, thank you. Sadly I have an idea for this one, but it happens at the worst possible time slot that could ever happen for me haha.

Sure. Like if it would be a fusion for IF.

cedar quest
#

>Sadly
ExtremeDespair

stoic oriole
#

just sprite while sleeping

mortal storm
#

But well maybe I'll find some time and if not, I at least will be blown away by all the entries that'll happen. ^-^

crude cedar
#

I kinda dont want to post my contest sprite to spritework as it ruins the surprise but also I suck at making sprite so if I dont get feedback its gonna have some issues

queen panther
#

I know the feeling

molten field
#

hmm what channel is this pogduck

#

i came here because Katten#7415 suggest something

vestal osprey
#

has the 'mon for the contest been picked?

teal grove
vestal osprey
#

i'm not seeing where it states what the poll winner was, or am i dumb

stoic oriole
vestal osprey
#

that's for secret spriter

vagrant thorn
stoic oriole
#

winner is aegislash

vestal osprey
#

where does it say that???

stoic oriole
vestal osprey
#

that... doesn't state what the poll result was

vagrant thorn
vestal osprey
#

...it doesn't show me that at all 😂

#

i promise i'm not dumb

vagrant thorn
vestal osprey
stoic oriole
#

you on mobile or pc?

vagrant thorn
#

close and reopen discord

vestal osprey
#

thank you for being patient with me, i was so confused why there wasn't anything listed anywhere

#

yeah, that message isn't showing on pc, so weird...

crude cedar
#

I need an idea for reuniclus aegislash Despair

vestal osprey
#

wonder if it's because i don't have a role, weird

crude cedar
#

you just need to restart discord

vestal osprey
#

fixed
time to work on a sprite entry

#

😩

lofty ivy
#

i am pogging at my design so far

#

really happy with how its turning out 😊

crude cedar
#

im kinda stuck and I want to ask for opinions

vestal osprey
#

surprised aegislash/aggron isn't a thing yet
i know what i'm doing now

lofty ivy
#

things that break your heart: aegislash/joltik is steel/electric (the one that looks like a bug), joltik/aegislash is bug/ghost (the one that has to look like a sword)

plush vale
#

swap the sproots when you play

vestal osprey
#

actually, aggron i'll do for a different fusion
i'm thinking...
mayan sunbird ceremonial blade (hooh/aegislash)

misty acorn

This has been brought up a billion times already I think 😅

Taking the opportunity for this contest to make a fusion for an existing aegislash head that I think I can make better heehee

cunning zinc
#

Same here lol

calm charm
#

LESGO

vagrant thorn
#

can't wait for the finals for the sv contest blurry_ohyes

ionic scroll
#

Yuh

lofty ivy
#

there should be a contest like secret santa but instead everyone who enters is given a completely random sprite to sprite (perhaps with whoevers running it rerolling if the sprite already exists) 🤔

#

maybe out in july when winter is far away 😂

silk gyro
#

secret route completion

crude cedar
#

part of the point of it was to get your request completed so theres no need to remove that

plush vale
#

they didn't specify pokemon somebodies gonna be spriting a shoe/sephiroth or something 😛

lofty ivy
crude cedar
#

you've been here longer than I have

teal grove
fast stream
#

@crude cedar I think you posted the same sprite twice

#

In the google doc thing

crude cedar
#

Oh did I ?

teal grove
#

Fucking finally, 20 days of voting

tiny trellis
#

Good work Gamr

Ty

And that on top of the time before that

cedar quest
#

Glad it's over

ocean crown
#

gods work

cedar quest
#

Because truth be told

#

This series in particular

#

Was a nightmare

#

I'll being absolutely truthful when I say this

#

Never

teal grove
#

THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS OVER A MONTH AGO

cedar quest
#

And I mean NEVERRRRRRR

#

Expect to see anything like this one again

mortal storm
#

well at least looking an comparing all that stuff was fun :S

#

to manage it probably not... xD

cedar quest
#

Sponses aren't normally hard

#

But this one....

#

Was just awful to manage

teal grove
#

Usually there’s a loser's bracket too but

cedar quest
#

Mostly because of the illustrations

#

Like, ah yes

#

Illustrations in a place where spritework go brrr

#

WTF do I do with those 😀

mortal storm
#

well with just with sprites only at least the amount of days the votes took would have been cut by half

crude cedar
#

I'm still salty ab me losing to a particular someone I wasn't even meant to loose to

#

But whatever

teal grove
#

The outcome wouldve def been different if there was a loser's bracket too, but gamr has suffered enough

#

The last few rounds had so many entries that only won by one or two votes

crude cedar
#

We should make someone else suffer too malicious

crude cedar
#

Nice A/A @vagrant thorn

#

I like it

#

If i had like
A chance for the Klinklang shit
I would've made Klinklang Magikarp

#

And try making it look genuinely cool

dusk schooner
#

You guys can't discuss entries and entrants like this for ongoing comps

crude cedar
#

Ok

#

At least I spoilered-

dusk schooner
#

Doesn't matter

crude cedar
#

Sorry

dusk schooner
#

It's ok

dusk schooner
#

That one was cool

crude cedar
#

Oh nice

#

Ig another pokemon with Magikarp ig

#

Maybe Rayquayquay

#

Idk lmao

#

Maybe Deoxys

dusk schooner
#

If your previous magikarps are an indication, I imagine you could pull them off nicely

crude cedar
#

I hope.

#

Cause im running out of pose ideas and i dont wanna use the same poses

graceful plank
#

I've just been revamping all the older gen poses I like. haven't used all of them yet though

Boi, it was long

Too long

#

Oh sorry

#

Deleted message, I will better talk about it before voting ends

#

AFTER

#

It is early in the morning, brain not working

#

@crude cedar It doesn't have anything to do with the theme but... i got the same magikarp plushie as your picture

crude cedar

let me be salty in peace please Despair

"Meant to" is a very curious choice of expression. stare

Have I died and woken up somewhere where people are speaking a different language? Or am I just a moron? 😅

Don't answer that. Unamused

what will happen if i answer lie

i just saw british tell me who's british NANI

Blaquaza is british 😥 ?

crude cedar
#

is it a new mental illness that i love the british lie

tiny trellis
#

as is said in the bibble DaRules judge a person not by who they is but by where they from

crude cedar
#

ew bibble

#

then by that logic im a terrorist malicious

wicked wolf
#

Always have been

crude cedar
#

true

#

i terrorized my old school when i was a kid malicious

HAH

covert rampart
queen panther
#

Ahyeh if he stayed British the NHS would have payed for it

teal grove
#

At least now he doesn’t have an economic recession due to 12 years of tory rule Painless

#

Just an economic recession due to other factors

covert rampart
#

That is what we in the business call "straight fax"

quartz locust
#

Trying to straddle the Rule 5 line a little.

teal grove
#

It was also funny seeing boris saying "brexit will make everything better" and then seeing everything almost immediately go to shit

wicked wolf
#

"We did not vote for this"

  • people that voted for brexit
quartz locust
#

I mean they were massively lied to and some of them did it for... let's just say unethical reasons, so I can understand why they feel hoodwinked. Some super left-wing people voted for it to, but for the exact opposite reasons as the ones the government used to form the basis of their strategy. I was too young to vote by like a year and a bit, and yet my future's getting deeply affected by it. 😢

teal grove
#

People vote to make a change in what they think will get them a better future. However, it is unethical of a government party to lie about it to the public, to tell them voting on them will get the people what they want. Surprisingly, a lot of people enjoy following blindly more than checking their sources

Trying to do an animation for this

brave pilot
#

Would anyone here be able to give me feedback on my drawing please

misty acorn

Where is it?

So how do we submit our entries?
Just name it like how we submit sprites?

I just drew the circle, and then in another layer, I just add in the details all in one go

There’s channels for this

odd garnet
#

AH RIGHT

#

Woops 😅

#

Are we only allowed to use mons Inside Infinite Fusion?

teal grove
#

Yes

odd garnet
#

Thanks

brave pilot
#

Y’all I need some advice Despair

odd garnet
#

What do you need?

brave pilot
#

@odd garnet idea for that

#

Do you know word world the kids show

odd garnet
#

Yup

brave pilot
odd garnet
#

That's what I was basing it off

brave pilot
#

Do that but with unown for sword and shield

odd garnet
#

Anyways

#

What do you need?

brave pilot
#

Oh I didn’t notice lol

odd garnet
#

Dude read it LOL

brave pilot
#

Most recent spritework post

odd garnet
#

Oh ok

brave pilot
#

Just if the shield looks good

ionic scroll
#

Sorry if I’m interrupting uh,, I was wondering if I could get a rating on this? It was for the contest and I want to know how good it really is

#

This doesn’t break the “don’t talk about stuff during voting” rule I hope
Just want feedback,,

teal grove

Well voting on it is already done

#

WOO

#

Wait it wasn't?
Do the mods choose who gets to be in the bracket?

#

I guess there are only so many slots

ionic scroll
#

It was forgotten but I still want to know how good it is

#

If at all

teal grove
#

If it was uploaded to the drive folder in time it was on the contest polls

ionic scroll
#

No

#

Wait nvm I’m stupid

#

Wait no still no

teal grove
craggy remnant
#

??

ionic scroll
#

Here

#

I don’t mind it being missed at all, but since the contest is almost over I thought it’d be appropriate to just ask how it would be placed in your eyes

#

If it’s good or not

#

I feel like it wouldn’t place as high but still curious

teal grove
#

If someone says it's good you'll feel bad it missed its chance in the contest and if someone says it's bad you'll just feel bad as well mrshrug

#

Personally i like it

ionic scroll
#

Noooo I’m fine! I told you i don’t mind

craggy remnant
#

well i cant say where it would be placed but its an interesting combo! i think itd look better w a diff accent , the light purple doesnt pop as much as i wish it did. but besides that its a solid design, nice job on the vines

ionic scroll
#

I’ll take note of the colors next time, ty:)

craggy remnant
#

i think an earthy red would go well but it might be too close to the brown u used already

ionic scroll
#

Hm

craggy remnant
#

im kinda spitballing

ionic scroll
#

This is good though! I enjoy the feedback

#

Thank you :)

craggy remnant
#

keep it up tho i look forward to any future concepts/sprites u make

ionic scroll
#

Eeee tysm~

#

My process for fusions usually is the same for how just about any Pokémon look like

#

“What does it eat/how”
“What does it represent”
“How do the colors help it live”
“Who would it be friends with”

#

Bramblgrowth is Medusa and has thorns to keep anyone away, else it stares them in the eyes and applies a curse

craggy remnant
#

my personal work fusions tend to be a mash of the concepts between the pokemon

ionic scroll
#

Could u give an example? :0

honest tulip
#

thats so many questions, all i do is mash everything together and ask myself "Do I like it"

misty acorn
craggy remnant
#

i could show off some old designs i havent done my own designs in a while

ionic scroll
#

I feel as if the discussion of fusion creation process is essential ^^

craggy remnant
#

i can hardly remember what these are fusions of but i go about it a different way when working on contest stuff

ionic scroll
#

Ooh

#

What is the blue and green fluffy frog supposed to be a fusion of? I assume it’s part Froakie?

craggy remnant
#

they honestly look more like new pokemon than fusions- i try to make the combination more obvious w sprite stuff

ionic scroll
#

Ooo

strong owl
#

the balloon dog looks so good

ionic scroll
#

All of your drawings r so cute!

craggy remnant
odd garnet
#

I made fusion years ago when I was still in elementary school
Stopped for a long loooooong time and joined this place just this month to join the contest and see if I still got it
I could probably find one of my old fusions back then as well if you want to see it too

strong owl
craggy remnant
#

i should get back into making fusions for myself these were fun

craggy remnant
ionic scroll
#

Doing art to please oneself rather than to please the masses is good! Keep doing it!

odd garnet
#

Hey Prince, what's this cloud supposed to be?

#

Can't think of anything back at the day besides Swablu xD

#

Water type maybe?

strong owl
#

new challenge, guess prince's fusions

odd garnet
#

I see a starmie shape

strong owl
#

the face is probably an important part

odd garnet
#

It may be but lots of electric types have pouches

#

But I doubt that's part electric

ionic scroll
#

Hm

#

Nebby?

odd garnet
#

It really looks like a Water Droplet

ionic scroll
#

Nebby has cheeks

odd garnet
#

Yeah Cosmog is a good match

#

I can see the half Cosmog

strong owl
#

the face looks more like cosmoem but sure cosmog makes sense

ionic scroll
#

Unsure what the other half is

odd garnet
#

Regional Cosmog
That's my guess

strong owl
#

am i the only one seeing a cryogonal shape?

ionic scroll
#

O, I see it now

craggy remnant
#

i cant remember what it is-

strong owl
#

lmaoo

ionic scroll
#

LOL

craggy remnant
#

i just know its like. based on a konpeito and 2 cute pokemon

ionic scroll
#

I love konpeito candies!

craggy remnant
#

it was a friends request and i wanna say it was like. part togetic?

ionic scroll
#

At the local korean mart they have popeye-brand sweet noodles and had konpeito inside- ayo?

#

Togetic?

craggy remnant
#

tbh these are more straightforward than my fusions that became fossil pokemon

ionic scroll
#

Woahhhhh

#

They look so cool doe!

craggy remnant
#

genuinely cant remember what the 2nd is a combo of but i know the first one is part crustle

ionic scroll
#

That’s so creative!

craggy remnant
#

man. the problem here is that i came here for advice on aegislash body fusion concepts but now i wanna draw more random fusions

ionic scroll
#

It is hard to know exactly what they are made of but they are all so pretty ^^

craggy remnant
ionic scroll
#

Like don’t get me wrong they’re beautiful

#

Just need a bit more clarity

#

The crustle fusion would look a bit more like crustle if the head was sticking out of the dirt in the same place that the base pokemon’s head is

craggy remnant
#

ok sorry to like. steer us away from this but i wanted to know what would be cooler for a rapidash/aegislash fusion- a thin foil-like blade or a drillhorn-like sword

ionic scroll
#

Hm

craggy remnant
ionic scroll
#

are you doing an aegislash-is-the-base fusion or a the-base-is-now-made-of-aegislash fusion

#

Mine is the latter ^^

craggy remnant
#

aegislash body

#

if ur doing that fusion though i have plenty other ideas

ionic scroll
#

Oohhh dms

#

I wanna keep my fusion a secret~

craggy remnant
#

i know theres already a few sword in stone fusions but i wanna do one like it w a parasect body

#

maybe not a stone but a rotting tree stump

odd garnet
#

I'm making Unown spell out Sword and Shield

craggy remnant
#

oh thats really clever i like that

shadow agate
#

I plan to try and get a full evo line.. but we'll see if time allows it.. I've got ideas, oh do I have ideas.

#

i just spent so long making a sprite for the contest and all of them look so good, i post mine in spritework 2 for feedback before i decide if i should submit it or not

OK

Hey @chilly void congratulations on winning!

A bit disappointed i didnt reach podium, but a worthy sacrifice to see all the other pieces in their proper positions

@teal grove Yo! Thanks Husk! ^^

#

@crude cedar

#

I can do a photo sesion if you wish

teal grove
#

So, only just began spriting and already won 60 bucks with it? Youve got great potential

chilly void
#

Boi, I won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place XD

#

I kinda feel guilty

chilly void
#

So I could manage to do my sprites out of my own imagination without limiting to edits

#

There were great edits, ngl, just saying that for those abilities I had more posibilities

#

That and I read the whole tutorial

#

My personal favorite was robo santa

#

... is it okay to talk about it now, right? As the contest ended

That looks so funny to me

I wonder if anyone else does fusions like that

tiny trellis

mostly proud of the legs' shading and perspective and shit, everything else is a little whatever

ionic scroll
#

Oooo omg

#

It looks so cool

#

How have i not noticed it

tiny trellis
#

dropped out in the first polls LMAO

ionic scroll
#

Im sorry :(

#

I like it lots though, if that means any praise to you

silver merlin

lmao my worst sprite in this comp made it the farthest

ig just unlucky polls for me

one of my faves died round 1 as it got matched up vs the animated chandelure one

Its a little funny how day 1’s drawings were all tinkaton fusions vs something else

Lol

I wonder if we’ll ever get another illustration opportunity

This conversation is stressing me out because I don't know what to do about enforcing spoilers. Despair

oh god sorry I forgor

Spoil tag images and mentions of Gen IX Pokémon, please. Make my life easier.

Okk

I srry

tiny trellis
#

can't spoiler already posted images so just gotta delete

#

thanks discord

teal grove
ionic scroll
#

Mods need to be allowed to spoil unspoiled images

#

Why isnt this a feature yet

quartz locust
#

You can still tag names, though. 😉

tiny trellis
#

because discord are incompetent

teal grove
#

Tho deletion of messages is also a thing

ionic scroll
#

Like i understand “oh no we cant be silenced”

#

But spoiled images can always be clicked on to be seen after

tiny trellis
#

message deletion/banning is more literal censorship than anything yeah

teal grove
#

Im referencing the earliest version of censorship

Here, gimme a sec

This is how ww1 letters to family were censored by the higher ups

Man im gonna get fucked

I only have my concept for the aegis contest,, and im hardly a good spriter!

I dont have enough time to finish all my stuff

I only do items and small details lol

The first 3 madebit to the end

#

About the competition entrys, does it necessarily need to be the same size as the base sprite, or is it ok to send a bigger sprite size entry? Like: You use a magnemite base sprite to your sprite but you make your sprite bigger

tiny trellis
#

As long as it fits on the 96x96 canvas it doesn't matter

rocky sandal

Sooo...

The ultimate winner

Waaaait so you won 1st place, 2nd place, AND 3rd place?

ionic scroll

Does this include the uhhhhhhhhhh

The moopsten choice

odd garnet
#

1 2 3 is still 1 2 3

#

So that means
75 + 50 + 50 + 25 = ...

Did you just win 200 dollars?

#

You got 2nd in the moopsten right?

rocky sandal
#

So, i have to dm the contest planner (or the contest manager, idk) to deliver the entry, right?

ionic scroll
#

🤔 wait

rocky sandal
#

Oooh

#

Thanks

chilly void
#

No no, I won 3rd in moopsten choice

ionic scroll
#

The mawile!

chilly void

And the money was redistributed

ionic scroll

Das a lot of muns!! You can pay for cooleg

chilly void

To fit two categories

Lmao

ionic scroll

Any amount of USD is impressive to earn when one uses a currency that is less than 1 USD~

1 USD is 55 in my place haha

Woahhh

You’ve struck it rich

chilly void
#

Haha thanks

I love your animations ^^

#

What was your motivation for joining?

tiny trellis

now you can pay rent

chilly void

I think will make some gifts for my guild

On Neopets

If someone knows the game lol

I do know it ^^

(Send username ewe)

#

I dont play it much anymore~

chilly void
#

Oww...

#

But you can always come back 👀

ionic scroll
#

I rlly wanna know why you decided to join this competition~ gotta learn from the best!

#

Pls tell me 🥺

chilly void
#

I wanted... to get noticed by Moopsten

ionic scroll

:0

chilly void
#

If you truly want to know it, was for that

#

He varely uses socials though XD

ionic scroll
#

You sure did earn his admiration ^^

#

Great job achieving your goal!

chilly void
#

Thankies! ^^

ionic scroll
#

I had two motivations

#

1: Gaining EXP
2: money

#

EXP is a metaphor for basically “learning from this experience” lol

#

Sure have gained a lot :0 do you feel like you’ve learned from this comp

odd garnet
#

I just wanna sprite fusions again, haven't done it in years
Saw the opportunity here and was like SURE

tiny trellis
#

I joined because I got to use non-IF mons. And money, I love money

odd garnet
#

And then I didn't sprite anything and just drew illustrations instead LOL

chilly void
#

I draw and love sprites

odd garnet
#

Granted I am more used to digital art than Pixel art so I had more comfort in illustrating

chilly void
#

So I joined this community to do fully customized mons

ionic scroll
#

:D freedom!

odd garnet
#

should have made it transparent or drawn a background as well....

ionic scroll
#

Im unsure if backgrounds made a difference in the contest

#

I was told “you dont need to add a background” and then i see all these fusions with really nice backgrounds

#

🤩

odd garnet
#

Yeah but looking at everyone with transparent backgrounds and I'm here with my white squared entries LOL

ionic scroll
#

I liked them! :)

chilly void
#

I added background to my drawing because I feel are strange without background

#

At least for myself

odd garnet
#

Thanks Swad xD

chilly void
#

I always add a little miscelanous background

ionic scroll
#

My ||palamewtwo|| originally had a background but then i decided not to

chilly void
#

Do we still have to use the spoiler thing? 2 weeks from the release already happened

#

Just asking, as I see people still use it

ionic scroll
#

I personally think its.. weird

#

Leaks were all over

#

Its past Christmas

#

People who are in a server about playing the (mainline) game (and a hack of it), especially after a big contest involving SV Pokémon…

#

It’d be really hard to not be spoiled by this point.

tiny trellis

Yeah Blaq. You got an appropriate Simpsons gif for this situation? I'm sure you do.

Some scientologist group bought the game

Its a religion

Rituals are a bit scary

A religion!?

WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT????

a "religion"

it's a cult with celebrities and lots of they manage your money stuff

I don't think neopets has been bought by celebrities?

Alright, I've contacted moopsten

misty acorn

Oh, didn't realize we have the winners already

#

Congratz to everyone smile

cedar quest
#

For a similar reason, I can't make podiums of this contest trolley

misty acorn
#

Not perfect my any means, and very much not animated but I guess it's something heehee

teal grove
#

Half of these are made by the same person, wild

ionic scroll
#

:D

loud scaffold
#

I mean like all of these are amazing and if you spent the time to make a fuck ton of good art then yeah you deserve it

teal grove
#

We had a 5 entry limit this time

loud scaffold
#

Too much imo

#

2 is enough

teal grove
#

3

mild furnace
#

It used to be three

ionic scroll
#

3 is good enough to give a single person a fighting chance

#

I got far with just 4

loud scaffold
#

I didn’t participate in this one so I don’t have any opinion on how far I got

ionic scroll
#

If one person has 3 good pieces that make it to the end, that is a true showing of their skill

ionic scroll
#

If one person has 5 pieces that all place well on the same podium thats overkill

teal grove
loud scaffold
#

I’m also thinking about the really talented people who don’t have any time on their hands and only have time for one piece, but get beat out by somebody making like 5 different animated sprites

teal grove
#

With 3 you can also fill the podium

ionic scroll
#

Yes thats what i said

#

3 whole drawings made it through tough battles

#

If all of them fill the podium thats a very well-deserved win

#

5 is a lot. Having 3 of those 5 win feels.. too beeg

brave pilot
#

I’m gonna be completely honest I don’t get why animations are allowed in general contests

brave pilot
#

They aren’t animated in game

ionic scroll
#

Whats wrong with them though-

loud scaffold
#

Animations just have an advantage overall

brave pilot
#

They take so much time to make

loud scaffold
#

They’re cool but they undermine talent for time

tiny trellis
loud scaffold
#

People who could make animations don’t because they don’t have time for one reason or another

#

We shouldn’t be penalizing people for having no time on their hands

brave pilot
#

Separate animated competitions would be the way to go imo

loud scaffold
brave pilot
#

Basically within the contest have two winners, one animated bracket and one normal bracket

ionic scroll
#

This SV contest was disorganized as is with two separate brackets!

#

Forgotten entries and late voting and our contest manager being overwhelmed asf!

brave pilot
#

I feel like it isn’t fair to people who can’t animate but if it’s banned it’s also unfair to people who are super talented at animation

misty acorn
loud scaffold
misty acorn
#

Making a good sprite is as well

tiny trellis
#

it takes a lot of knowledge too

brave pilot
#

If every competition is won by an animated sprite it makes people who can’t animate feel like they can’t win

ionic scroll
#

Animation is skill too.. i have been able to animate stuff just as quickly as spriting it

loud scaffold
#

But people who make good sprites are at a disadvantage because “arm of sprite go up”

misty acorn
#

The thing you can argue here is that an animation is a different medium that is above the scope of what we do. That is a valid argument

Time is just an excuse imo

brave pilot
loud scaffold
#

I don’t think time is the biggest excuse, yeah it is though it is a real issue a lot of people have

#

But talent definitely plays a role

#

Yeah I agree with that, on that note if you have the ability to make an amazing animation you deserve it

mild furnace
#

Listen, either animations are genuinely on a different level from still sprites, or we're all malding and inhaling copium heehee

misty acorn
brave pilot
loud scaffold
brave pilot
#

It’s pretty telling because pretty much every contest winner recently has been a gif

ionic scroll
#

Contest winners win because of their skill

loud scaffold

#

Bad animations exist

misty acorn
loud scaffold
mild furnace
#

Also I'm pretty sure that there's a program that you can rotate sprites on

mild furnace
#

Which definitely helps

#

Yeah but you have to pay for it

loud scaffold
#

I have Aseprite

#

I just don’t do it

ionic scroll
#

I’ll literally submit a badly animated entry this contest

#

I’ll make it bad on purpose

brave pilot
loud scaffold
#

This conversation is getting pretty hot tbh

brave pilot
#

???

loud scaffold
#

It’s not really a yes or no answer

misty acorn
#

I've been making gifs with GIMP and with piskel

Both of them work, though gimp is definetly not made for it heehee

loud scaffold
#

Yeah I’m salty I can’t make animations (even if I can, I don’t put in the work to make them high quality, and in the end I feel like I make my sprites worse due to animating)

brave pilot
#

I tried making a gif with piskel and it was a nightmare

crude cedar
#

I mean its a fair argument, I think the point of contests is to make good sprites for the game but when making things that cant even be put into the game gets rewarded it doesnt make much sense

#

The rewards are just a role so its doesnt really matter though

misty acorn
ionic scroll
crude cedar
#

But I can understand wanting to separate it for sponsored contests

brave pilot
#

Time is definitely relevant people are busy

ionic scroll
#

It takes me a bit more time to animate badly than well; I would not be motivated

loud scaffold
ionic scroll
brave pilot
#

Uh over break?

ionic scroll
#

We’re always busy by your logic then!

brave pilot
#

I had homework university applications family obligations and irl activities over break

I only have two more days of break pain

#

Argument invalidated

Man idk

#

How about we just not have art

loud scaffold
#

Problem solved

plucky arch
#

all submissions are now just the name of the fusions

brave pilot
#

Animation takes far longer than a normal sprite is my point

ionic scroll
#

Most of the year is “busy time” for anyone
If one considers winter break to be busy time… then it doesn’t matter what time is to a contest; find time to work and use skills to make good art

crude cedar

Auto generated submissions only

#

I’m happy to talk to you tomorrow when I have more time

Then don’t do the contests if you have no time

crude cedar
#

Idk I just feel like its a sprite contest not an animation contest

loud scaffold
#

I don’t care enough anymore to get a worse headache

tall moss
#

theres no need to get mad yall, chill

loud scaffold
#

TLDR: I suck at art and I’m salty that people are better than me

ionic scroll
#

I’m not mad ~

loud scaffold
#

I’m more or less disappointed in myself now

tall moss

these are competitions we do for fun where we win a slightly darker blue names heehee

crude cedar
#

me want slightly darker blue name

loud scaffold
ionic scroll
#

I myself feel upset that I can’t animate as good as the best…

loud scaffold
#

Means nothing but I still get pissed when people do things better than me

ionic scroll
#

I understand completely how you feel

#

I’m sorry

loud scaffold
#

I also have no self eestem

tall moss
#

plz dont make it everyone elses problem

ionic scroll
#

Want to talk about it in dms?

loud scaffold
#

Nah

ionic scroll
#

I would understand ~

plucky arch
#

honestly in contests i kinda, ignore animations
like i just every sprite based on if it were a still image, but thats just how i vote!

loud scaffold
plucky arch
#

just cause any sprite is gonna look better if it moves, im here for the concepts
those juicy ideas

#

if animations bring in a new concept you bet im including it but usually, its just the still image

tall moss
#

in any case; suggestion'd

shadow agate
#

I don't aim to win in contests, judges are naturally going to have bias and most people voting are going to see animation and immediately vote it if it's animated well. It's best to see contests as a means to improve your skills, or create more sprites for the game.

crude cedar
#

Well now we can just let the vote take care of it

plucky arch
#

it forces me to work in a specific way

shadow agate
#

I can understand the frustration when it comes to sponsored contests you can win money, I felt demotivated when I saw art was permitted too but eh.. still tried.

plucky arch
#

for example i never woudve willingly made an aegislash sprite and now ive made 2

loud scaffold
#

Whether it’s winning a contest or filling a sheet

ionic scroll
#

I only usually want to win contests so I can use the prize money to get away from domestic issues
But I am still a proud defender of the animation medium; I’m tired of people at the Oscars calling it a children’s medium! It’s hard work!!

shadow agate
#

I need to motivate myself to work on my second sprite[for this contest] and if I do so I can actually get the spriter role.. but my brain is drawing blanks.

loud scaffold
#

I would never make anything if it wasn’t for a certain end goal that helps somebody or something in some way

plucky arch
#

i consider my role here to be "making sure we dont have autogens, and once theyre done letting the more talented people do mine better" yknow?

shadow agate
#

I could understand getting annoyed if you put all your effort into a sprite only for a more talented person to pretty much overwrite you immediately.

loud scaffold
#

My role is “I have no time on my hands and I want to feel like I have contributed to something greater than myself”

#

But then I realize that mindset is superficial and I mean nothing to anybody on the internet lmao

shadow agate
#

cause originally I wanted to work on glaceon/glaceon but I saw someone else trying their hardest on it and just let them have it.

loud scaffold
#

And then now it’s less about the art and more about how sad I am

#

Ok ima go cool off

shadow agate
#

That's not contest related though. [the glaceon thing]

#

Thankfully we got an extended deadline so maybe I can get some ideas for my second sprite before it ends..

misty acorn
#

(Copy pasted from #1058512358110138439 )

I think animations should be allowed because in the end, contests are there to give people motivation to make amazing art. And not allowing animations just loweres the level of amazingness that is possible.

It is also not fair to say that you have to animate a sprite to win. Your chances increase for sure, but going above and beyond on a non-animated sprite also increases your chances, so that doesnt really count for me

And I mean... I myself are the perfect example on that you can win a contest even without animating or being an absolute spriting genuis. If you really really wanna win a contest to get a funky blue name tag, making an animation should not be your highest priority. Your highest priority should be to become a regular in contests and to improve with every entry you do. Animating it is like step 2 or 3 or something. And that is why I'm against banning them slowdab

you cant have access to everything kiwi huehue

y'all will see it with the next comp

So it sounds like debating is useless since they already came to a decision

verdict: no more still sprites ever only animations

crude cedar
#

only fully fledged animated shows allowed

plucky arch

adds blinking animation there we go boys

silver merlin

there will be a restriction against animations to say the least

ionic scroll

crude cedar
chilly void
#

Umm

#

I could give my personal experience

#

Animation can take long, YES, it definetely takes longer than doing a regular sprite, though knowing how to do it right is another thing

#

And so on, if someone has the time and talent in their hands to do so, go ahead

#

There will be always someone who will have less time or won't be able to participate for x reason

#

Besides, talent is not only born with, you train it, I have been drawing for years and animating for a couple

#

Should we be able to submit less entries? I believe than 3 is enough for future competitions

#

Should there be a separate category for animation? Unfortunately, there is not enough people who animate here to have enough entries for a regular contest

#

(Could someone tipe anything? I want to make a separate statement)

#

(Oh nevermind)

#

On the other hand...

If someone wants some animation tips, my chat is always open ^^

Mission impossible

Probably yeah with katten's kyogre

Katten please stop entering contests Despair

It's katten's sprites that made me wanna win one

#

Still lie

#

And i only animated klinklang/garchomp because scrapi said he'd only recognize that klinklang is a good pokemon for fusions if it won a contest

And i really wanted that

My skills lay in making many decent sprites. But not epic ones :p

My skill is in making mediocre sprites that can't even go into if

Start making mediocre sprites that can go into IF

what if I made an IF that could go in a sprite 9head

Hmm

#

Maybe lie

silver merlin

woopsie

silver merlin
#

the thing with animations is that it takes a lot of effort to do them, uh, correctly

#

for example if you have a sprite move wayy to slow itll look clunky and weird

#

though sometimes people might just be voting for the animation for the fact its an animation lmaoo

teal grove
#

No offense to anyone who participated in the last contest but there’s no way klinklang/latios is only 2 votes better than metagross/salamence

silver merlin
#

you know if we really wanted people to not make animations we could just make it a rule that all animations have to be in the gen v style

#

4 common cycles one rare

teal grove
silver merlin
#

and it has to be super smooth

#

(not fun

silver merlin
teal grove
#

Or just have some contests not allow animation the same way some dont allow collabs

silver merlin
#

next one wont have animations

teal grove

Sounds good
