[queen panther]

since he asked nicely

[loud scaffold]

Hahaha deoxys funny number

[teal grove]

ive got two great ideas for roserade fusions already

and it's not a klinklang fusion

[silver merlin]

guys im going to submit my new sprite

[queen panther]

Im sad, i won moopsten's contest on stream but no role for it

but yeh was a stream, not a community contest part

so its understandable

[silver merlin]

you want a skill issue role

[honest tulip]

I only hav 1 idea and it’s not even good

Anyone doing roserade/gardevoir?

😂

[queen panther]

ima look at potentials later on

see whats missing

[honest tulip]

I'm not gonna do gardevoir again

that's just cheating

[teal grove]

can we just all collectively agree to not do gardevoir

[quiet laurel]

OwO!!!

[honest tulip]

roserade/gardevoir up for grab, huge potential

[teal grove]

unless it's with that base knuckles made

[honest tulip]

100% free win

make the server pfp forever gardevoir

[loud scaffold]

Please for the love of god there’s too many waifu fusions already

[silver merlin]

[queen panther]

Oh shii its not been done

Welp

[honest tulip]

I underestimated the garde simps last contest, I'd advice u not to do the same

[teal grove]

no, you're gonna win because it's gardevoir and because it's you

[quiet laurel]

Ok then hear me out....Roserade/Gallade

[silver merlin]

[limpid lotus]

Cool!

haha

[teal grove]

and with the same rules as sprites usually have here

[loud scaffold]

What about cabbage

[silver merlin]

1. no booba

thats the rules

🚎

[honest tulip]

imagine all the legendary spriters and promising spriters (gato etc) jus decide to join a contest

[limpid lotus]

I may try giving it a go because I'd love to get better at pixel art. Does anyone have tips for making pixel art?

[honest tulip]

I thrive to watch that epic battle

[limpid lotus]

the art program I use is CSP but I also have access to Photoshop 🤔

[teal grove]

speaking of which, gato will be entering i think

[silver merlin]

lets go

that guys pixel art is so good

[honest tulip]

check out #spriting-guidelines , the info there is sufficient to make a good sprite that follows the pokemon style

[honest tulip]

time to concede

inb4 gato become champion for the nxt 5 contests

[silver merlin]

watch out guys this is gonna beat every single sprite omg

[teal grove]

well, time to bring out the big guns

[brave pilot]

[vivid sonnet]

My Rosey boy won but I have no idea what to do with him

[crude cedar]

talent being copy pasting way too many spikes

[crude cedar]

katten creates beauty (kinda lying)

[silver merlin]

[crude cedar]

[silver merlin]

(you will be impaled

[crude cedar]

#masochism(?)

[vivid sonnet]

Poison Point

[crude cedar]

also why is she staring at me like that

[plucky pulsar]

anyone who makes gardevoir x roserade will be disqualified

[vivid sonnet]

Gallade/Roserade safe?

[crude cedar]

well katten cant be disqualified

[vivid sonnet]

Probably been done tho

[wind matrix]

give it booba

[plucky pulsar]

sexo

[teal grove]

You already damn well know that sprite is gonna end up in the semis at least

[plucky pulsar]

ok she goes hard

[vivid sonnet]

Gonna look at the charts to see what hasn't been done yet for Roserade. Hopefully there's something that'll let me make the ultimate bishie Pokemon

[silver merlin]

true

[wind matrix]

Some people were made by artifcial insemination

[vivid sonnet]

In vitro exclusive server

[vestal stream]

[vivid sonnet]

Is this a contest where we can only submit one entry?

[queen panther]

[vestal stream]

[vivid sonnet]

Thank ye

[plucky pulsar]

Saddest post ever

[plucky arch]

i know the 3 im gonna do

im gonna try for a custom base

[vivid sonnet]

Ooh!

[ivory olive]

damn already?

[deep wharf]

Another contest still not Miltank

[ivory olive]

just make a Roserade/Miltank

[deep wharf]

Oh I can't make Sprites I just vote lol

But I like the cursed ones lol

And Miltank is always cursed lol

[ivory olive]

word of advice, vote for the ones that are part Roserade

[vivid sonnet]

Not as many Roserade head sprites in the official doc as I expected

[indigo ice]

YIPPEEE ROSERADE SWEEP

[vivid sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/tbhcreature-tbhcreatureyippee-yippee-meme-yippee-tbh-creature-excited-jumping-gif-26089708

[misty acorn]

ROSERADE SWEEP

[ivory olive]

so will we be able to see every fusion in the drive or just our own

[silver merlin]

every

[ivory olive]

aight

I'mlooking rn and there's already one

[wind matrix]

Might make a miltank roserade

[ivory olive]

do it

[plucky arch]

if you do the flowers better be Milkweed

if you can

[wind matrix]

There's a ton of different milkweed flowers tho

[vivid sonnet]

The fact that one is pink makes it seem like a good fit for a horrible Miltank

[wind matrix]

Lol

[vivid sonnet]

I'm running into the problem of there being too many Pokemon I think would make for cool fusions

[ivory olive]

Stunfisk

there ya go

do it

[vivid sonnet]

I'm starting to think you just want more people to make Stunfisk fusions 🤨

[ivory olive]

yes

I am not ashamed

do it

[manic willow]

Are animations accepted for this new contest ? @silver merlin

[ivory olive]

probably not

[silver merlin]

no! should mention that lol

[manic willow]

Nice

[hazy hollow]

This is just a proof of concept, but I'm going to try to go down this direction

[ivory olive]

why is the background French skin flavored

[wind matrix]

It's a nice colour

[hazy hollow]

Just to have a background that doesn't mix with the colors. Here's clear

[ivory olive]

go back to french skin please, that hurts so bad

[hazy hollow]

See, told ya

Also I'm new here, hi

[ivory olive]

hi

[hazy hollow]

I need to make the heads more dynamic, maybe change up the pose and body, and a lot of other changes, but how's this idea overall? Should I post that in a different channel?

[teal grove]

Jeez girls, get a thread lol

[ivory olive]

I'm not a girl, I'm a 4f4hfou4hfg

[hazy hollow]

I'm not a girl but not not a girl, so I'll take it

[ivory olive]

...so what are you

[vivid sonnet]

Nonbinary gang? 👀

[hazy hollow]

👀

[silver merlin]

fucking

almost there

[keen nymph]

nice

[silver merlin]

ignore smoliv and meowscarada i moved this up with my smogon sprites for some reason LOL

[hazy hollow]

Wow that's gorgeous

[placid shuttle]

i got my work cut out for me, trying to top that

[rocky sandal]

Hehehe, this is going to be fun

[vivid sonnet]

I think I need to try 3 distinct strategies with these fusions, but what strategies those will be I am not sure

I'm making a list of possible ideas and I'll probably throw out the ideas I don't use for other ppl to use, if that's something ppl are interested in

Potential strategies: cute, clever, funny, attractive...combinations thereof...

[wind matrix]

Cerin trying to science this out

[vivid sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/hangover-math-mathematics-equation-lol-gif-5822639

[kindred cave]

From what I have learned people here are simps

So I’d say attractive will get the most points

[vivid sonnet]

Alright, I'll bump the Machoke (Machamp?) fusion up the list

[kindred cave]

If I know the people here like I know the people here that’s got 2 votes locked down

I will not mention aforementioned people but you can figure it out

[vivid sonnet]

Ok! I think I have my 3 ideas ironed out, so I can throw out my unused ideas for ppl who want to join the contest but don't know where to start

Ping me if interested

[errant hazel]

Not gonna break rule 7, but this time around if someone does a ||roserade|| fusion I'm gonna vote for it

[silk gyro]

Yo same

[kindred cave]

TRUE

[silk bolt]

WHEN DID THE KLINKLANG CONTEST WILL BE

gonna stop my 2 current sprite to do the roserade, then going back to my others

[plucky arch]

yoo!! im planning on doing the inverse

[manic willow]

Just posting it here because I don't think I will do it, but this contest has a heavy Meganium/Roserade potential !

[vivid sonnet]

True!

[loud scaffold]

I just chose the most out of left field pokemon and said “that would be cool”

[indigo ice]

I think some people might appreciate this :D I'll make a bigger list soon but roses aren't limited to the common garden/tea roses seen on roserade's sprite, keep in mind wild roses exist! The one on the right in particular is called the Dog Rose (Rosa Cania) so for any canine fusions you could do something fun with that

and if people dont appreciate it then thats also ok but wild roses are cool

[loud scaffold]

I think without context the meaning would be lost, when on the voting it’s not like it will say “based on dog roses”

[limber venture]

i'm doing the same

[indigo ice]

well obviously not

but if someone wanted to implement it into their design

[loud scaffold]

True, I look at contests for the sole purpose of trying to get far and not really for the actual sprite shit idk

I think I’m solely alone in that

[indigo ice]

well i did say some people might so it would never apply to everyone, i think i get that though even if its not my personal view

[vivid sonnet]

I also like the idea of using flowers symbolically in the design even if people don't get it just by looking at it, so I feel that

[loud scaffold]

I put way too much thought in more of what people vote for rather than what I think is cool

I know my artwork doesn’t compare at all to others

[vivid sonnet]

If that's stressing you out, you should try something you think would be fun for you to make!

[indigo ice]

my consensus is if i try to hard to make something that people would like then i wont like it because i cannot conform to that so i just make what my mind wants me to make

obviously my chances of winning arent as big so its not a winner mindset but i can just hope people like it

[loud scaffold]

My mindset is “if it’s not for somebody or something, don’t make it”

[vivid sonnet]

That's not a very healthy mindset to have about art imo

[loud scaffold]

All of what I do has to be part of a greater project or thing

Or else what’s the point

[vivid sonnet]

The point is for you to express yourself and have fun, ideally

I know it's cheesy but you'll never be happy if you aren't satisfied with making stuff just to make it

[loud scaffold]

Lmao fuck that I wanna see tangible progress and results

I should probably change that

[vivid sonnet]

It's a hard mindset to get out of for sure, I'm not saying I'm immune to it at all lmao

[loud scaffold]

But it’s so deeply rooted into my art that it feels almost impossible to look at anything without thinking about how others will perceive it

[limber venture]

i felt that way for a long time until i started becoming obsessed with things nobody else likes. at that point you kinda have to draw for yourself and nobody else so it dragged me out of it

it's just something you gotta work towards

[loud scaffold]

I’m not the most optimistic person so I’ll let tomorrow me deal with that issue

For rn funny plant women

[limber venture]

funny plant women is of upmost importance

[vivid sonnet]

Funny plant! :D

[wind matrix]

Ok hear me out. Utter flowers

[loud scaffold]

What if the Miltank/Roserade has like honey instead of milk because flowers

[wind matrix]

Necter would make more sense

[loud scaffold]

Basically the same thing

[wind matrix]

Honey is bee spit lol

[crude cedar]

I’d like to give everyone who voted Roserade a polite fuck you

[vivid sonnet]

Honey = nectar + pollen + bee vom + some time to evaporate

[indigo ice]

[vivid sonnet]

Hm. Maybe it is a good idea to draw out my idea before spriting it

[ivory olive]

I WANTED TO VOTE DEOXYS :(

[loud scaffold]

At least you are part of funny number gang

[ivory olive]

funny number gang?

[loud scaffold]

69 votes for Deoxys

[ivory olive]

oh

[loud scaffold]

My humor is ruined sorry

[ivory olive]

it's cool

while I'm here, I have no fucking clue if I submitted my entry for the contest right, Google Drive eludes me

[loud scaffold]

There is currently one submission in the drive

[ivory olive]

ok, what pokemon is Roseradew combined with

because I did submit mine but I'm not sure

[loud scaffold]

Route 1 bug

[ivory olive]

yea, that's mine, thank yo

[loud scaffold]

[late sequoia]

Man, there are already so many good Roserade sprites

[ivory olive]

just pick a random pokemon to fuse with it like fuckin Prinplup or Sunkern, something weird

[brave pilot]

Are roserades hands flowers or weird berries

[limber venture]

flowers

[vivid sonnet]

They're flowers! A bouquet of roses

[limber venture]

they're meant to be bouquets yeah

[static heron]

I’m actually gonna do that this time around as well. I want this to be good

[tender pagoda]

i'll admit I was a little lazy

[plucky arch]

honestly ive just been looking up different types of flowers to attempt to sprite

uhg i hate when people are talented

[molten crater]

Uh... my first contest, I have a question: does the sprite need to be centered and at 3x the size just like the game fusions? I mean, I made something that I could post in a 180x180 at 3x the size, does it have to be on a 288x288?

[loud scaffold]

Sprites have to be 96x96 and scaled up 3x

And the sprites aren’t exactly centered, but put in a certain position so they aren’t weirdly floating or something

I think there’s a template somewhere

[molten crater]

I see, thx

[lone loom]

I just checked the drive to see if anyone had posted their entries yet. Omg the diglett one lol!

[ivory olive]

I feel like specific Pokemon contests such as this one are just the team behind the contests trying to artificially boost the numbers of the Pokemon in question, but idk

[molten crater]

maybe if every week's default classic was just the mon that is lowest in the charts... (c'mon, klang deserves some love)

[ivory olive]

whoever posted the most recent fusion for the contest, you have used the wrong nuber

roserade is 352

not 407

[heady escarp]

so.. how do I submit an entry for a contest?

[golden cliff]

Might want to recheck that

[limber venture]

it's not the nat dex

[plush vale]

theres a drive I think?

[limber venture]

it's the IF dex

352 is correct for roserade

[golden cliff]

why not use the national one

[limber venture]

cause the game just doesnt?

[golden cliff]

Makes sense

[plush vale]

because it'd be confusing having gaps and be weird to code

[golden cliff]

gaps?

[limber venture]

yes

theres mons missing

[plucky arch]

IF dex is different

[loud scaffold]

Theres like one Kalos and one Alola mon so the dex would jump like 100 numbers

[limber venture]

its not just the first 420 mons theres some cherry picked

[golden cliff]

Oh I see

[limber venture]

its the entirety of gens 1 and 2 and then just picked ones

[heady escarp]

done

i have my entry

[plucky arch]

and the thing is they were added at different times too

[golden cliff]

where can you even find this dex I'm having trouble

[plucky arch]

for example, the Klink line's numbers are 397, 398, 337

[graceful plank]

@silver merlin the entry needs to be new for the contest right? the lanturn one in the drive was made beforehand

[plucky arch]

theres a command thatll tell you what dex number a certain mon/fusion is, you can also use the sprite chart or the calculator

[graceful plank]

(I remember because there was a lot of discussion about it)

[golden cliff]

Oh nice

I'm probably not moving much past the first 2 gens though so I probably won't be needing it much

[ivory olive]

in the IF dex, its 352

[golden cliff]

Yep got that cleared up already

[ivory olive]

ok, but I was away and pinged, so shush

[golden cliff]

nou

[heady escarp]

after my entry is made and presented can I put it on the general galley or do I have to wait?

[golden cliff]

I don't see why not

[graceful plank]

yes, you can submit for feedback and to the gallery as with a regular sprite

[odd garnet]

OH GOSH IT'S A ROSERADE CONTEST
I NEED TO MAKE IT IN THE FINALS THIS TIME!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAKWKWKSSNAKKADJSKA!!!!
...
Huge Roserade fan so uh... Yeah 😅

[graceful plank]

lol I just happened to pick the final evo for my current playthrough

[odd garnet]

OK game plan!
I need to make a cool one, a cute one, and a big one

Seems like those are the sprites that gets the most attention

One of my most well received sprites is Heracross/Machamp which took like almost all of the canvas

Maybe I can even redo one of my old Roserade fusions?

AAAAAAA SO MANY OPTIONS!!!

[heady escarp]

what otherone I could have

[ocean crown]

Is the no animations rule gonna be for every classic comp going forward?

[graceful plank]

animations aren't in the game any more anyway

[brave pilot]

I hate roserade

I wish one more person voted deoxys

[odd garnet]

Is rule 7.1 implemented?
I wonder if I could turn Gardevoir into Rosetta from Granblue Fantasy? XD

[brave pilot]

What’s rule 7.1

The poll finished I can talk about the results

[vivid sonnet]

No Garde

[odd garnet]

Thou shall not use Gardevoir Lol

[vivid sonnet]

Unofficial rule

[plush vale]

was it that close?

[ocean crown]

Yeah it was 1 vote difference

[wind matrix]

I'm hoping I can do 3 sprites. But I dunno if I can in time

[graceful plank]

I might just do one. other things to do

[ivory olive]

Imma do three cause fuck it

[odd garnet]

I'll do 3 cause I LIKE ROSERADE SO THIS IS ALL THE MOTIVATION I NEED

[plucky arch]

oh no i have 4 ideas

[ivory olive]

which one is the lamest

[golden cliff]

my roserade can beat up your roserade

[crude cedar]

I think GamR should be in charge of the Classic Contest Next time

[golden cliff]

well if it didnt have flowers for fists

[ivory olive]

my roserade's want hugs :D

[golden cliff]

Someone should make roserade / hitmonchan

[plucky arch]

im just getting more ideas

[crude cedar]

Someone should make Roserade/Regigias

[plucky arch]

idk if im allowed to share em

[ivory olive]

just check what's already been done and then continue with some

[golden cliff]

I don't see the harm, unless you dont want someone potentially making the same thing

also you can make sprites that have been made before, there's alts for a reason

[vivid sonnet]

I was gonna share the ideas I had that I'm not doing

[plucky arch]

i have 2 of mine i think, ill ask what yall think i should do for my 3rd

dodrio/roserade
bulbasaur/roserade
roserade/poliwag

[ivory olive]

I'd say nah on the Bulbasaur, it's obvious

[loud scaffold]

Good idea lmao

Ive done Geodude head and Electabuzz body so far

[odd garnet]

I wanna resubmit my newer Weavile/Roserade and redo my Milotic/Roserade...
But maybe not for this contest

[crude cedar]

Wait… what if someone made Rayquaza into a Rose with a long stem

[odd garnet]

I wanna do a joke entry about Weezing/Roserade just being James from Team Rocket since he's known to hold Roses... But maybe not xD

[crude cedar]

I don’t really want to do this contest but I might

[plucky arch]

perfume bottle

[odd garnet]

Aromatisse

[crude cedar]

I think the next contest should be on a random type

[plucky arch]

a duel type one could be fun

[crude cedar]

Steel/Fire only

[plucky arch]

it may be very limiting tho, like with Roserade theres like 840 fusions it could be, but theres only so many, say, Ice/Poison types

[loud scaffold]

I mean, out of every pokemon in game it'll take work to find certain cool combinations but I think it could be worth it

[crude cedar]

[plucky pulsar]

that’d be so cute

[crude cedar]

Ferroseed Roserade

[golden cliff]

Make a Mr Mime combo where he's a botanist rather than a mime

[crude cedar]

Thorny rosebud

[loud scaffold]

I'm trying to think of a weird but badass Roserade fusion

Salamence/Roserade would be cool

I was also thinking Azumarill/Roserade

[crude cedar]

Roserade/(Mega) Mawile

[loud scaffold]

Already been done on the calculator

[crude cedar]

Oh ok

Wait that’s the opposite to what I said

[zinc lion]

we're not allowed to just do roserade/klinklang are we

[crude cedar]

You can

[loud scaffold]

We are

[golden cliff]

awesomesauce

[zinc lion]

cool i'll probably do that then

[crude cedar]

Everyone just make an alt for Roserade Klinklang just to annoy katten

[loud scaffold]

Roserade/Ariados would be funny

Roserade/Skarmory would also be badass

My two epic warriors

[crude cedar]

Some Pokémon would be really cool for this game eg. Lunala, Solgaleo, Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Regieleki, Regidrago, Type: Null, Cyclizar, Koraidon, Miraidon

[ivory olive]

I really like that sketchy style for that second one

[crude cedar]

Especially with Roserade fusions

Sadly we probably won’t get anymore new Pokémon for at least 5 more years

[vivid sonnet]

Here are the ideas I'm not using, so grab em up if ya want

[indigo ice]

ive ot a very specific idea that i wanna do first n foremost and then i can go silly . as long as my idea in mind is not somehow taken from me but if that happe4ns it happens. i love ur talonflame idea bird of paradise are such pretty flowers

[ivory olive]

guess who already finished their 3 entries :D

[odd garnet]

Not I TAT

[ivory olive]

Not I TAT?

is that French or something

[wind matrix]

Tat

[ivory olive]

what is a tat

[lean oriole]

I was looking at Weezing, I might do that one

[wooden rock]

i love this! the colors look great

[crude cedar]

Cool contest!!!1

[golden cliff]

alternative farfecth'd idea, he holds a bouquet of flowers in roserade colors :P

and its green with roserades cape/scarf

[static heron]

Bro you did 3??? Already?

Haven’t even done one yet

[vivid sonnet]

The Roserade head Farfetch'd body already has a bouquet, so I thought using the leeks instead would help it stand out

[static heron]

Whoever submitted diglett roserade is a genius

And I want to shake their hand

[lean oriole]

I think those are both AI

At least on the lookup site they are

[silk gyro]

in the drive

[golden cliff]

Oh that's already a thing, hah

[vivid sonnet]

Yeah, I was thinking the reverse, which I'm p sure isn't taken

[ivory olive]

so I noticed some issues with my submissions and changed them, can I take out my initial submissions and replaced them with these redone ones?

[brave pilot]

Yeah just remove them from the drive

[ivory olive]

got it, thanks

[brave pilot]

Most of the people who already submitted forgot to put a name by their entry

[ivory olive]

we gotta put our names on them?

[vivid sonnet]

I was about to say that 😂

[brave pilot]

Yes

[ivory olive]

huh

[vivid sonnet]

How else will they know who won?

[ivory olive]

asking nicely?

[brave pilot]

(123.123) by Username.png

That’s how to name things in the drive

[honest tulip]

guys rmbr to include ur discord name and #number 😭

[brave pilot]

I’m gonna be honest most of the current submissions seem really rushed

That’s my impression at least

[vivid sonnet]

I did, but some contest entries were submitted by bad noodles

[honest tulip]

They nvr read my name

[brave pilot]

I don’t get why they’d rush day 1 though

There’s a whole week

[honest tulip]

Some ppl don’t participate to win, they just participate for fun and discussion

[brave pilot]

I guess

[honest tulip]

And some of the entries were made just a few days before the contest

[brave pilot]

I don’t really get submitting something while knowing it’s half baked though

[honest tulip]

Since it’s still within 7 days, it’s valid

[brave pilot]

Those are the more polished ones

[honest tulip]

Well can’t blame ppl for spriting fast

[vivid sonnet]

I started mine today and submitted tonight so I hope mine still turned out polished enough

[honest tulip]

Contest entries can still be posted to #1050404143807873157 for feedback btw

But discussion on swaying the votes is prohibited

[vivid sonnet]

Gotcha 👍

Looking at the Roserade sprite I used for reference, I'm scared I used pure black in my sprite 💀

[brave pilot]

Wdym?

[vivid sonnet]

Usually, the "black" in outlines for Pokemon sprites is not RGB 0,0,0

[ivory olive]

if I said "this one is mine, vote for it dipshits" that's probably bad

[vivid sonnet]

And I think pure black is made transparent in some situations? Though I'm not sure

[plucky arch]

or even like, complimenting/insulting a sprite

[sharp temple]

Kinda curious on something here, so by having no sprite knowledge and wanting to make custom fusions..., can i throw some art at least for mine customs ?

[brave pilot]

What

[sharp temple]

Your profile pic...i feel like i lost the battle😭😭, any way

English is trash so dont mind so much

I just wanna contribute on the custom fusion departament but i have no sprite making knowledge

So can i at least throw some artwork of mine fusions ?

[brave pilot]

Oh yeah for sure

Just in the #artwork forums

Also this isn’t the correct channel for discussing sprites, that would be #spriter-general

[sharp temple]

Zamn so much

Okay so lemme just

[golden cliff]

Here's a winning fusion idea Roserade / Fidget Spinner

[honest tulip]

Like what carbon said, u can’t say stuff like, “guys I’m done, rmb to vote for me”

[honest tulip]

Some uses 101010 but I think later gen uses 000? Sometimes I’d jus replace all with 000 so areas with black outline seem more pop out

[wooden rock]

just finished my entry! i had a lot of fun with it

[vivid sonnet]

I've been using the black that's RGB 0,0,6

[honest tulip]

I think the difference isn’t that big to matter

[vivid sonnet]

True, I just thought maybe there was some fuckery with transparency to worry about

[errant hazel]

I'm doing a hitmontop fusion now thank you

[brave pilot]

Thorns

Do pyuk roserade

[wind matrix]

Think I'll focus on making one good sprite, and if I have enough time I'll make a miltank one

[wind matrix]

IF I HAVE TIME

[golden cliff]

Nice

[silk gyro]

The only issue with using pure black for outline stuff is making sure all of it is black

[wind matrix]

I want to make roserade/sylveon because I think it would look nice, but I'm making a custom base for it

[brave pilot]

That sounds cool honestly

Like a ton of vines

[wind matrix]

Basically change the feelers into vines and the bows into roses

[wind topaz]

So tell me

[brave pilot]

I’m not telling you shit

[wind topaz]

What fusion would be good with Roserade to make Joker from Persona 5

[brave pilot]

Oh idk

Like roserade body?

Or head

[wind topaz]

I don’t know

[ivory olive]

hmmm, well Roserade has a mask, so probably a tall pokemon like Deoxys

[brave pilot]

Maybe darkrai/roserade

[wind matrix]

something black maybe

[plucky arch]

Weavile or Sneasel maybe?

[brave pilot]

Ooh weavile s good

[vivid sonnet]

Ooh, Weavile sounds like it's be perfect

Same braincell!

[brave pilot]

Oh thorns I never finished my wallpaper

You said to not give it away

But then I never did it

[wind matrix]

LOL

[brave pilot]

I can send it here

obviously heavy wip

[wind matrix]

cute tho

[vivid sonnet]

Love that all my fusions are turning into superheroes

Hm, it looks like some entries used the wrong dex number for Roserade

407 instead of 352

Also please add you names if you haven't

[wooden rock]

wdym?

oh wait i see

i forgot the dex numbers are different for some pokemon

just fixed mine!

[honest tulip]

Gen1-2 uses the same dex number with official game and the rest is IF dex number

Dex roserade

[opal wadi]

Roserade's IF Pokédex number is 352!

[silver merlin]

it does yeah

[honest tulip]

The 7 day rule is 7 days prior the end of the contest or 7 days prior the start of the contest?

[teal grove]

7 days prior to the end of the contest

[honest tulip]

I jus read the contest rules, it’s a week before the announcement of contest

The lanturn was made 4 days ago so it’s still valid

[teal grove]

To my knowledge it has to be made after the contest announcement

@cedar quest

[fast light]

Wait what

I thought the pin said it could be prior to the contest

[honest tulip]

The pinned msg in #event-announcements mentioned a week before the announcement (rule1 last sentence)

[fast light]

Yeah

[graceful plank]

ok then someone should contact the artist and let them know

[teal grove]

Hm, alright

[honest tulip]

It’s posted 4 days before the announcement, so it still comply with rule 1

[silver merlin]

ehh

ill ask the other contest guys what they think

[graceful plank]

that rule should be clarified/edited if that's the case

[silver merlin]

@weary pagoda @cedar quest :>

[honest tulip]

Well then that would probably apply for future contest, this is just a community contest, I think it would be no-fun if we were to strip someone’s entry off the contest even thou they followed the rule

[misty acorn]

the numbers of your ledian in the drive are mixed up btw

[graceful plank]

oh shit really

that;s ok I can delete and repost

[honest tulip]

violation of rule1, take it down /j

[misty acorn]

no, you have roserade as the head, but it's clearly the body

[graceful plank]

yeah I knew what I meant haha

thanks, fixed

[cedar quest]

wha

whats goin' on?

[graceful plank]

there's confusion over whether or not entries can have been made before the contest

[honest tulip]

It’s regarding the last part of rule1 (made less than a week before the announcement of the competition series)

[cedar quest]

For this contest, I will allow it, however for future ones, that rule will be poofed

I didn't even know that was in the pins ngl

[silver merlin]

lmao its an old rule

[cedar quest]

Yeah

[silver merlin]

when we first banned the use of older sprites

ig this was to make people not too mad?? LOL

[cedar quest]

It has always been this

[fast light]

I can drop out if you guys want, I don't mind

[cedar quest]

no, you're fine man

[honest tulip]

It's ur first contest, jus join in for lols

[cedar quest]

Literally just the remnants of an old rule in the pins that I didn't know about

Not ur fault it was still there

[honest tulip]

well now that's settled

[fast light]

Thank you

[normal oyster]

Unlucky timing

But it aint in gallery yet

[odd garnet]

Wait we can submit our old sprites?
Cause I recently made one that's.... no wait
Someone's already attempting that combo right now

NVMD

[teal grove]

Because of an old rule that will only be allowed for this contest, sprites made in the week before the contest announcement are also allowed

[odd garnet]

DANG
Just right

Though I should probably not submit it 😅

[teal grove]

Reminds me of my awesome klinklang/wailord, i had the design concept completely worked out in case we'd get a klinklanklontest... and when we didnt, i just made it anyway

[odd garnet]

Rip

Btw, aren't you also making a 166.352?

Wanna get some inspiration from mine?

I'm not submitting mine since... Well.. No one actually noticed it when I posted so its probably not gonna do well 😅

[silver merlin]

what the fuck we already have so many entries

[teal grove]

Im not

[teal grove]

Yeah wtf

Also 3 of them dont have a name

[teal grove]

Holgast was and it’s already in the drive

[silver merlin]

gonna figure out my other 2 entries lol

[misty acorn]

I have an idea for one I could make

[indigo ice]

i personally think lanturn/roserade is the figurehead of this contest shes an icon and i would not stand for her being excluded

[misty acorn]

But studying for uni goes first

And playing engage goes second

[teal grove]

Same

Last exam tomorrow

Then klinklangs all around

[misty acorn]

Roserade/Klinklang incoming?

[indigo ice]

i was boutta say

[teal grove]

Also btw Xenophacilus can you chill with the sprites lmao, you posted so many in the gallery in such a short period of time

[indigo ice]

whoever was mad over klinklang loss should do that

[teal grove]

Not from me

I believe Eumelprinz is doing that one

[graceful plank]

and I haven't got any feedback or heart mail yet so idk if it still needs something

😛

[indigo ice]

im planning to do a shedninja fusion that mask type look is gonna look so well with roserade

i feel confident that sayting my plans here will not cause them to be tooken

[graceful plank]

even if someone does the same thing you can both still compete

[indigo ice]

we can vfight to the death hand in hand

[normal oyster]

Ppl calm down

I HAVENT EVEN STARTED YET

[teal grove]

I can only start tomorrow afternoon

[normal oyster]

Yea but you speedrun amazing sprites so that’s not fair to

[wind matrix]

really thinking it should be one entry per person lol

[teal grove]

🥹

[odd garnet]

Hehehe
It's fun

[teal grove]

Im gonna try my best to win this

With 3 different things

[wind matrix]

have fun trying to beat rose waifu

[odd garnet]

Same
I can't NOT try to win for my favorite Pokemon

[teal grove]

a) cute fusion
b)cool fusion
c) over the top fusion

[odd garnet]

Rose what?

[teal grove]

[odd garnet]

WAIT DID SOMEONE ALREADY TURNED ROSERADE INTO A WAIFU???

[wind matrix]

[graceful plank]

[odd garnet]

[graceful plank]

[wind matrix]

I'm trying to appeal to the furry waifu crowd

[odd garnet]

LOL

OH COME ON!!!!

[teal grove]

It's katten

[silver merlin]

its me

[normal oyster]

katten troll

[wind matrix]

[silver merlin]

i have them planned out i think

[cedar quest]

Man, I might actually enter for once

[normal oyster]

[odd garnet]

YEAH I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING FIRST

[wind matrix]

Katten's just trolling along

[cedar quest]

I never enter contests

[odd garnet]

ARIADOS/ROSERADE WILL BEAT THIS ONE!

[teal grove]

[wind matrix]

You're allowed?!

[cedar quest]

Of course I am

[silver merlin]

LOL WHY WOULDNT HE BE

IM ALLOWED??

[wind matrix]

lol I dunno

[indigo ice]

id assume so considering he isnt just. choosing which ones to win himself

[wind matrix]

Could rig the polls lol

[silver merlin]

@cedar quest sorry bro dont rig the polls

[odd garnet]

I did custom bases for all my entries... in the Gallery
LOL

[normal oyster]

lol is it gonna be qwilfish?

[cedar quest]

I just don't enter contests I host

Be it sponsored or themed

[silver merlin]

oh? i do 🚎

[indigo ice]

🚎

[normal oyster]

but its fun

[indigo ice]

🚎

[cedar quest]

Well duhhh I know it is

But in half of them, I've either got prizes and the other I've got a lot of work put into the thematics. And on the 3/2 I've got both

[indigo ice]

what IS the prize for winning contests?

[silver merlin]

u get a cool role

server icon

[cedar quest]

The sprite becomes the server pfp for a while, and you get a cool role

[wind matrix]

fancy role and your sprite as the server icon

[silver merlin]

and u get to choose a pokemon for the next poll

[cedar quest]

There are some special cases though, hence the other channel. #special-contest

[silver merlin]

(but only from classic comps)

[teal grove]

And if you win a sponsored contest the prize is money

[wind matrix]

And you should choose miltank if you win

[silver merlin]

(aka why husk is here)

[indigo ice]

ok guys im goingt o win and make the next pokemon gardevoir! have fun smile (kill)

[teal grove]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-hello-i-like-money-money-mic-gif-17224951

[teal grove]

Nah, not just because of that

[normal oyster]

ego boost mainly

[teal grove]

I also like annoying you with klinklang 🚎

[cedar quest]

But man, I've been trying so hard to get in contact with someone who made a bomb Qwil fusion art design

[wind matrix]

[cedar quest]

I wanna sprite it so bad

[normal oyster]

[cedar quest]

Well yeah

[normal oyster]

[cedar quest]

But there's one I really wanna do

[teal grove]

Huh, sea turtle, interesting

[cedar quest]

Once again, same thing

[teal grove]

Lmao the eyes on the bottom right

[cedar quest]

[silver merlin]

oh yeah this would be a banger sprite lol

oh also gamr i still have the gardevoir claimed right? i can sprite that in a bit

for now though i need to sprite fish

wait maybe not lol i need to do work

[graceful plank]

[wind matrix]

just draw an egg with a swirl in it

[silver merlin]

oh wait i know this person

they are from finland i think

[cedar quest]

awesome

[silver merlin]

well im not in contact with them lol, sadly

i think your best bet might just be tagging them on twitter??

[normal oyster]

Wished the guy i contacted would also see my messages for my cradily sprite :’)

[normal oyster]

Won’t they think it’s weird?

[silver merlin]

nah lol

[graceful plank]

this art style looks so familiar

I think I follow them too

[indigo ice]

onto shading my first custom sprite and i think i made the roses too small. lord have mercy on me

[silver merlin]

show us 🔫

[indigo ice]
