plucky arch
idk if im gonna partake in this one, i am, not artistically talented, and yall are very much so

Side note, if I want feedback on the loading screen, should I put it in spritework, or artwork?
formal river
no idea
formal river
not sure if bulbasaur/squirtle's arm is too high up 🤔

The red part fit almost perfectly, but it was 15 pixels to bigh in height so i had to shave it a bit

But no im not gonna do this contest seriously, ive got more important things to spend time on

we all get 3 Entries to this so you can take your time
you can also have multiple ideas

i tried some brainstorming and couldnt really wrap my head around a particular concept for this one not sure if imma enter

You missed out on a free idea given out earlier

Is there any specifics that should be thought of tho ?

Like stipulations, like does it have to be like a background based, could it just be a bunch of mons, like requirements

There are none, do what you want lol
just make sure the word loading is on there
Might want to make it related to the game as well :p
I would do something that shows off what the game's about in a nice artistic way

How long do these loading screens take? If they're only going to be shown for a few seconds it's probably better to keep them simple. No point having a full screen work of art if the player isn't going to have time to get a proper look. I think modern Pokemon games tend to just have a black screen with something animated in the bottom right corner.
wind matrix
I timed it at 9 seconds and 40 miliseconds
empty marsh
I timed it at 9 seconds and 40 miliseconds
That's enough time, plus it will be seen longer by those who has it loading slower

Does anyone know how to put colour filters on layers in in GIMP? 😮
Go to Image, Mode then click on Indexed Colors and Generate!

That's just limit colours on the whole thing, right? I want to make one layer more blue. 😅

Ah, I got it wrong sorry
There's a way to do that for sure

quartz locust
Ah, I got it wrong sorry
It's alright, I'm just really bad at explaining it. 😂

Once you use it it'll go full blue, you can change the opacity to affect it less

That might work a little too much. 😅

Why make this is a contest
Realistically, couldnt we just take all the good entries and put all of them in the game? And the game could randomly pick out which loading screen to show?
last inlet
Realistically, couldnt we just take all the good entries and put all of them in ...
yeah, just like a Windows background (idk if others OS do it as well)
lofty ivy
Yeah because this game needs more images to load 😂 people can always replace the loading image if they want to
It would be a good idea in a different game that didnt have hundreds of thousands of images already
kindred cave
I would ask to borrow some peoples sprites but I made mine specifically to be last place

Guys, don't pressure the Contest Managers to push out something new, they're working really hard and have a lot on their plates. In the meantime, we have Sprite Duels if anyone wants to scratch that itch. 🙂
Check the pins in #spriter-general. 
silver merlin
y'all should add that to the pinned post in spritework lol
instead of it being burried under text in spriter general

Will do. 😉

I made a mock up of a loading screen idea I had and wondering what's the best place to put it. It doesn't fit the rules of the contest since it's a video clip.
Would in here or #artwork be best?
Put it in #artwork

artwork ye

With the small resolution requirement and art style of the rest of the game you're probably better with pixel art

i'm doing it in the resolution given so I think i'm good

You're right, do a service to the entire server and stop asking
Then it'll come sooner

If the entire server gets punished for your behaviour, that's not the mods' fault, that’s yours

Ok first off I have not been the only one asking you have too at several points
But also punishing a whole server because of one person makes absolutely no sense
And honestly I thought the mods were joking about it and taking it in good taste
teal grove
But also punishing a whole server because of one person makes absolutely no sens...
Correct, so shut up

Apparently not and it actually is being delayed
I’m not even asking for the contest at this point I’m arguing the point of punishing the whole server for one person

There are a thousand other things you could do

Once again, because we've got bored and unmotivated to host stuff, because as you said yourself, not only you was pressuring us

people being genuinely excited to participate in your events shouldn't be punished imo

of course they shouldn't, and I wasn't the most annoyed of us three
We'll look into starting a new one today but no promise
(the other contest currently running was also a good reason we're not too focused on starting a new one + the date we first planned for the next themed wasn't definitive)

I would say Tangela could be a great asset for this contest, given it is already rather small and supposedly based on Medusa
granite wren
Mm, that's v true
ivory olive
then again, I may be biased as it's my favorite pokemon

wait, does the sprite need to be 64x64 before or after scaling it up to 288x288x?
wind matrix
ok, so before then
granite wren
ye
wind matrix
XD
silver merlin
the size limit of the sprite is 64x64
the canvas needs to be 96x96
granite wren
They mean if it's supposed to be 64x64 on a 288x288 canvas, or 64x64 on a 96x96 canvas (then upscaled to 288)
silver merlin
the latter lmao
granite wren
But yeah, 64x64 on a 96x96
plush vale
so why the smaller scale
does everybody usually feel pressed to use all space possible in contests?
ivory olive
limitations funny
granite wren
Not sure if specific intentions but allows for less complex designs making it easier on less skilled spriters (like myself lmao). Also gets small mons some love

Both I guess. Pick a fusion that could be something fantasy related, like (while not in this game) Skorupi x Pyroar could be a manticore

Ooh, that sounds cool! Will consider joining
granite wren
Would we consider Yu-gi-oh monsters as fantasy or is that a bit of a stretch

Honestly tho, fantasy is such a broad term you could argue that any fusion is fantasy

true, i went with more a traditional fantasy

ah ok
teal grove
And yes you need to submit it to the gallery as well, whether it's before or after the contest is up to you

if you'd like a recommendation for a Pokemon, Tangela supposedly is influenced by Medusa, so it would probably be a great choice
graceful plank
I thought about that too, sadly ekans/jynx already exists
but a tangela/tangrowth one could be pretty good
we can submit for feedback in spritework right? or not until the contest is over?

Ive got a fusion planned between two unevolved pokemon as well so i can put more detail into it

mine took way too long
ivory olive
yeah, but it was so good
indigo ice
this might be a silly question but can i do a fusion of a pokemon that already has a custom sprite in the game
graceful plank
I'd like to see someone try one of those detached creatures, like a dullahan
indigo ice
cool!! thank u
graceful plank
I almost redid the kingdra/butterfree instead
hey there's an idea for someone, do a dullahan 😂
maybe aegislash/rapidash?
oh no that one already has one
ivory olive
just do Honedge/Ponyta then
steep thorn
I will enter a contest for the first time for the hell of it
I wanna do a Kappa, so pretty much something generic, however there is no Lotad in the game
I am going with Golduck though for the body
graceful plank
Golduck is basically a kappa
teal grove
Dont forget your contest participant role
steep thorn
Thanks
ivory olive
Golduck is kinda easy for a kappa though, I'd say Psyduck would be a bit more challenging
teal grove
Ivysaur/psyduck
ivory olive
Venusaur would probably work better given flowers resemble lily pads more than flower buds
teal grove
It doesnt matter
Sometimes the contest sprites are even better than the ones already in the game
ivory olive
but Venusaur/Psyduck isn't if you care that much
steep thorn
I'll do Venusaur/Golduck, or at least attempt
ivory olive
good luck
teal grove
Both of mine will have to be sprited rather quickly given the deadline, better get working on good drawings to speed up the process
graceful plank
can I upload all my attempts individually or do they need to be done all at once
I guess you can just do each whenevr
lampent/rapidash would be a good dullahan but I don't think it would fit in the canvas
I'll just put it on my ideas list for later

seadra/ponyta hippocampus is an idea someone can take

subtle bane
im a litte confused about the scaling situation tho
im v new to contest and all that so idk what it means by keep it in a 64x64 canvas but still keeping it on a 96x96 image
teal grove
Your sprite has to be on a 96 by 96 canvas as usual but the sprite itself must also be able to fit on a 64 by 64 canvas

so like basically its a 64x64 sprite but on a 96x96 canvas?

And, in my opinion, it also takes the fun away from the contest, because it becomes more about which sprites have the best animations than which sprites have the best designs (though many animated winners still have amazing designs). It's two different art forms. 😅

why are you happy x)
Because someone (i know who you are ) got the idea of animating almost all of their entries and people went "awooga picture MOVES" and chose it over other genuinely good sprites
