I spent multiple hours the other day just making sure that none of the fusions I wanted to attempt were ones that were done
#event-general

it's wild seeing that some of the ones that were banned were banned because I did them. almost a weird sense of pride? and comedy, that I barred myself out of doing certain ones

Reminds me of a certain picture with Jasmine and Magnemite

This one's painful
Jasmine didn't care LOL

real suffering is having a brilliant fusion idea and finding out that not only is that fusion done but its a super mid fusion that just slaps the face onto the body and calls it a day
misty acorn
Even more reason to do your idea

Me when checking out Ponyta/Klink
HOW???
pastel hollow
shroomish/duskull in my case. and something involving shellder, but i forgot what..
and yet surprisingly some really intuitive fusions didn't have ones, and for pokes that have teams too! (trapinch full of shockers for me...)
always lots to do i guess :>
misty acorn
I should just take Kiwi's Clefable/Trapinch, make the horns a bit smaller and booom... Cleffa/Trapinch 
Okay but seriously, if any of you are aiming to win the contest, don't sleep on Trapinch body fusions 👀
pastel hollow
see my problem is doing one good LC fusion then realising I want to finish every associated pokemon in the evo line
quartz locust
Fusions I'm thinking of doing so far are Slugma / Cranidos, Yamask / Gible, Dratini / Wailmer, Gastly / Aipom, Torchic / Koffing and Pawniard / Sneasel. No idea if any of them have been done yet. 😛
odd garnet
WHY?
XD
silver merlin
uhh wdym
odd garnet
I was planning to make a Ponyta/Klink, but it was already made
So I had to make a Klink/Ponyta Lol
balmy ibex
wait how do I claim one
odd garnet
Just do one that didn't have a custom sprite before the start of the contest
No claiming necessary
teal grove
3 drawings done, so that’s 3 ideas ready to be sprited friday
All custom bases, as im used to
crude cedar
I can't wait to get to work on a design that hopefully hasn't been done yet
And it's inspired by a Video Game, and the idea initially came up from seeing a Yamask/Haunter Fusion

Can someone count the current entries

I got a sketch ready for another entry, very excited
This contest is great, making little babbies is fun

No
Sadly

Ok well I wouldn't say that
That's subjective

Can someone count the current entries
at least 66, since that's how many folders there are

Yay thank you kiwi 🥝
crude cedar
guys can anyone expail to me how the contest work? do i have to select the pokemon i want to use?
timid shore
you have to make a new folder in the google drive linked
name it your discord username, not your server nickname, and then place all your entries in there
the sprites have to be submitted to #sprite-gallery after the announcment of the contest for it to be eligible
thick harness
Oh the folders have to be named our discord usernames not server names? didn't realise that; thank you
timid shore
yeah, so mine have to be Greyscales#2747, for example, not just grey

No; they have to be new Sprites

Don't discuss contest entries

Make sure to follow the #rules!
7. Contest voting. This should be a courtesy as opposed to a rule, but it will still be enforced. Do not talk about individual sprites currently being voted on in contests, as this potentially sways and influences voting outcomes. This also means before voting begins, so no discussion on sprites until they are out of the voting or until voting is done. Posting the sprites in #spriting-discussion to receive feedback is an exception to that, however, so feel free to discuss work in progress sprites there before they are submitted to the contest.
timid shore
talking about sprites immediately after they are eliminated is allowed tho, iirc
tall moss

You have to make it after the contest is announced and has it be specifically made for the contest

i am really sad about this rule...
I understand your pain; I uploaded a sprite a few hours before the contest went live that could've been used, but I've still got plenty of other great ideas i'm excited to try!

it was so cuteeee

Aww that is very cute; but that just means you'll have to create an even cuter sprite for this contest!

cuter mons are coming then 
and i can send how many fusions i want right? i understood good?

I guess you could say you could upload... infinite fusions

What did he do
rain vapor
so I had a quick question, are we doing little cup as in only things that could fly in the official little cup battles(allowed pokemons) or just all the baby evos and the first evos of things?

thick harness
I'm also nosy but I think I can piece together what they did from context clues
limber venture
i think the only issue with gettign rid of rule 7 is it would shift all the other rules a number down
and then i wouldnt remember any of the numbers after the past 7
frail vortex
dont rename the rest
grand tusk
nah we just gotta keep it but make it less strict
frail vortex
Make the new rule 7 "we dont talk about rule 7"
grand tusk
rule 7 should be: Please do not attempt to put down other's people's sprites or ask people to vote for your own sprite
talking about sprites being voted is fine, but those are the two ways I see rule 7 actually being needed for
after all, rule 7 was originally made because people would shit-talk sprites to get people not to vote for them
timid shore
rule 7 reworked and not a total removal?
hollow gull

This makes me think of a funny idea when I see a staff member online again

Giving a minimum implies a maximum to me so make sure to add some extra words that say there's no maximum so my brain don't die
hollow gull
that what i suggested last time this came up and was told it's too much lul
I mean for people like mope who come in with perfect sprites and just wait an hour to see if someone notices something
It would make their life worse I think
But yea a lot of people (including me when I'm in a mood) can be quite trigger happy

I think it would be an undertaking for sure but I would definitely be okay with taking on this job

I think you worded that suggestion poorly
Sprite managers are already supposed to fulfill that role
wispy moon
I hope you are prepared for the "WeLl PeOpLe AlReAdY dO tHaT"
limber venture
You should clarify that they would be underneath sprite managers
hollow gull
Definitely think feedback managers would need comprehensive rights, break time, and stuff to make sure we're either not exploited by noobs or that it is an attractive job to others
hollow gull
I hope you are prepared for the "WeLl PeOpLe AlReAdY dO tHaT"
Yea they don't
Sprite managers are never on and are much more busy taking care of getting the sprites into the game
Also like playing parcheesi or whatever they do in their secret channel
hollow gull
You should clarify that they would be underneath sprite managers
Can you help me reword it?
I'm an ideas guy, not really a public speaker

"A dedicated role, similar to game helper, for trusted spriters in the community that allows newbies or people just looking for feedback to know where to turn if they aren't getting help in spritework or spritework questions. Call it something like sprite helper, feedback helper" optionally you could add "They wouldn't be actual staff, no mod powers, just a (potentially) pingable role that would allow somebody to review your sprite"
stiff valley
"hey guys, did you know that in terms of new roles idea, spriter assistant is by far the most needed one ?"
limber venture
"Feedback Manager" I don't like
Manager implies administrative power

You really didnt need all those words to get that point across
Two sentences does it
Added some more
hollow gull
Which they would not have
I mean I think they should have the power to make new tags, edit tags, maybe clean house for Kiwi since they can't really keep up with all the responsibilities
limber venture
wat
hollow gull
I think the sprite managers could use lackeys for busy work
limber venture
why should they have the power to add tags
hollow gull
Cause we don't have a "special effects" tag, an "adding new colors" tag
limber venture
thats an entirely new suggestion
hollow gull
and no one goes to the guidelines chat when you tell them and it takes a fuckton of words to tell them exactly what to read there
The game guides need updating, and kiwi is always overworked
Give them a load off
Like not a sprite manager more of a discord manager
@limber venture thoughts
hollow gull
I think I want to be a sprite manager
limber venture
you had a good idea by itself but you added way more to it than necessary

"game helper but for sprites" is really all we need

though if I got it right, you can help her with other fusion sprites beforehand for learning purpose, so she can then do sprites on her own for this contest. after all you have one month, I'm sure she'd have done great progress by then already!
hushed zinc
Alright sounds good
teal grove
Im more concerned about my sprites facing off against each other rather than the the rest of the contest
I want these lads to have a chance against the other sprites
But i get why it's not happening
median heron
See
You just gotta make double the amount you want to make
Since half will be cut down
tiny trellis
all except 2 are eliminated in round 1, those 2 go to winners and losers brackets
teal grove
Since half will be cut down <:heehee:945800365457149992>
Almost all will be cut down
But im aiming for those choice awards
median heron
So the amount of entries is really limited by however many people join x2
teal grove
Yes
misty acorn
Bold assumption
teal grove
There’s at least 60 people joining already
median heron
However there is still plenty more entries all in all
misty acorn
The real question is, what is technically the max number of entries if there could be no dupes at all?
teal grove
Let’s find out
median heron
Absolutely past the 1000s
teal grove
We have a month of time, infinite entries per person, and in just over 2.5 days already over 150 sprites
We'll reach it soon enough
Kiwi's gonna have to do the choice awards while the contest voting is still ongoing at this rate
Or like i said, we'll have to wait until the end of June to get the results
gray igloo
You guys have no idea how many I have planned out
teal grove
I plan on reaching that max number of entries
tall moss
I plan on reaching that max number of entries <:malicious:940987474761613323>
15k sprites in 1 month damn
teal grove
15k sprites in 1 month damn <:huehue:742100381911482479>
Also kiwi, question
Is the 300 mark the only stretch goal or are you gonna do more
Like 500, 750, 1000
misty acorn
At 5k entries, Kiwi will make a givaway of her kidney
tall moss
Also kiwi, question
youll see when we hit 300
frail vortex
at this rate, that'll be pretty soon anyway
sharp estuary
at 10k entries, a copy of IF is sent to space
misty acorn
at 15k, a version of IF featuring every pokemon, ever form (including every spinda variation) and every digimon for good measure is developed that can only be played on NASA supercomputers
pastel hollow
15k sprites in 1 month damn <:huehue:742100381911482479>
tbh one of these days this past week or so i counted 24 hours of sprite-gallery posts and it was over 400
the rate of spriting has been going wild on this server

... I love/hate the idea that popped into my head for this contest. I hope I can exeggcute it.

tbh one of these days this past week or so i counted 24 hours of sprite-gallery ...
a montly sprite pack used to be 300-500 sprites 🥲

im definitely not helping my workload with this contest

oh my lord

That's a lot of sprites.

a montly sprite pack used to be 300-500 sprites 🥲
We would have reached 100% sprites with our 2022 rate in like 33 years. Or was it by 2033 
Either way
With our current rate, we'd be done in 2 - 3 years

they're probably not great! But they exist! and for that i am relieved

i guess if i wanted 100% accuracy the pokemon i want for this would not be in little cup

Next month can we reach 10k
digital valley
we still got a couple days of March left 
grand tusk
we must hurry and make 800 sprites in less then 5 days
tall moss
215 sprites in the drive so far 👀
pastel hollow
we must hurry and make 800 sprites in less then 5 days
700, actually, which is practically guaranteed at the average rate of 344 sprites a day (assuming every post in sprite-gallery is a single sprite)
grand tusk
also assuming they're all posted the same day
thin dove
don't worry kiwi! I won't let you down. i hope

And I need to not forget to upload my last contest entries to the gallery
silver solar
I have yet to even finish my ref sheets for shinx and sneasel because ive been busy with baby babies
thin dove
there were two sprites of just [wait is this rule 7?] so i think joke sprites are ok?
we should have a contest where we make fusions based off of the original algorithm mashup art
take the algorithm art and make it as polished as possible with only the materials you're given
i would submit weirdo roblox boi
another contest idea: weirdo mashup lineup
take a final evolution sprite, merge it with a base pokemon sprite (what do you call the ones that aren't evolved yet? stage 1?)
i would once again submit a polished version of weirdo roblox boi

man i discovered thru this contest that Litwicks are dope
for example look at this Rat (not in the contest)

give bippy three leggies and you may do so
plucky arch
rly proud of the little candle on this guy
its not all cool and custom posey but its quaint and i like it
knotty sphinx
Not every sprite needs a custom base to look nice and it shows
plucky arch
i use custom bases occasionally but usually its just a trace from a card
digital valley
Yeah, I’ve made a bunch of Litwicks. Probably the top 2 pokemon I’ve made sprites for (alongside Mismagius, which can’t count this contest :/ )
plucky arch
i think i have, 4

The top 2 pokemon I use are shedinja and idk because I mostly just use shedinja

Yamask/Pikachu
Qwilfish/Chikorita
Jumpluff/Roserade
Voltorb/Drifblim
pastel hollow
hmm
knotty sphinx
they can be fun
Can you make a trapinch custom with it's mouth super wide open?
digital valley
I only made this one yesterday and I love it (not contest eligible)
Used someone else’s custom base for this one
plucky arch
Yamask/Pikachu
Qwilfish/Chikorita
Jumpluff/Roserade
Voltorb/Drifblim
oh uh and Magnezone/Espeon but that was me spriting Artie's art
i have used other people's custom bases like once or twice
digital valley
Yeah that one was my first and currently only
Others I’ve done based off other artwork from cards or previous gen sprites
late sequoia
Mhmm, I need to learn how to make good customs at some point. They really standout specially in contests
plucky arch
anyway im off to make some Orbs
Voltorbs that is
speaking of theyre valid for the contest, yall should totally stop by #1081017224422236240 and get some claims for the Little Cup
Theres a chart with all the viable ones left in there
pastel hollow
well yall inspired me to do at least one litwick 😛
ill still stan trapinch and misdreavus for this contest tho
stable cargo
Do I have to use fusions of 2 baby pokemon for the littlest cup or just one
silver solar
That choice requires both to be baby stage
Thats why i did 7 baby x baby fusions today. Because i just fused everything valid that seemed fun to mix
Tomorrow I’ll be starting on my kitty fusions 👀 that’ll be super fun
slow gyro
I just did the fusions my sisters told me lol

I did like, 5, I think, but cause I had a lot of free time

Agreed. I tried making a Gligar/Yanma fusion despite being still new to making sprites.
HUGE MISTAKE.
At least I also make a easier fusion of Munchlax/Honedge and just made progress on a Voltorb/Kabuto to compensate.

Totodile....should(?) be simple enough to try doing but i'm also not smashing 2 orbs together. I am smashing Totodile at orbs though

i might be shooting myself in the foot but does anyone want the feather resource i have from anorith?

Nope

really?

Its azurill, pointy butt

i forgot he had that sprite

yea
but with the pose it could be any of the three cause azurill main feature is the tail

Yeah, i just wanted to swap tails for both ways

i feel if you did an aura sphere on his tail tho it would have been more recognizable

How directly is Staryu linked to being an UFO/alien?
reasonably, lots of alien skins for staryu, and also many underwater interpretations

I kind of wish I hadn't already done this guy, bc I think it matches two of the special goals
I'll just have to come up with something new
valid nacelle
I'll just have to come up with something new
Well, I don't see a custom fusion for Wailmer/Magikarp if you wanna keep the Magikarp train going somehow. Those could match 2 goals as well.
crisp whale
It doesn't match chinchou body or baby-only
slow gyro
Anything you fuse with magikarp can go for the derpy
thin dove
i need to find a Derp to make a Totodile with. hmm
slow gyro
Anything you fuse with magikarp can go for the derpy
But I have hope on my Shieldon Zubat
thin dove
and then make one (1) baby-only fusion to hopefully make it count for that (if i remember to do that)
valid nacelle
It doesn't match chinchou body or baby-only
I understand the Chinchou part, but Wailmer is a baby Pokémon if I saw the chart featuring all Pokémon viable for the contest correctly...
(Or you mean a specific kind of baby?)
crisp whale
I understand the Chinchou part, but Wailmer is a baby Pokémon if I saw the chart...
The third goal was only the traditional baby pokemon, those that need insence to be bred

I was going to try and do 3 sprites a day for the contest, but I've lost a lot of motivation. I'll just confess it, my grandfather passed away, and when I went to go sprite, I just couldn't come up with any ideas. I may pause making entries until creative inspiration strikes me again.

and neither have guns because spells exist
so you just got wizards flying through the air with swords and magical crossbows

no, submissions are only counted if you add them to the drive yourself

if it was made after the contest started you can still make it, the rule only applies to things made before the contest

I made it a day or two after the contest amd at that point i just also included anything in the gallery regardless of when it was posted

but with so many submissions already it's gonna be so much harder
silver solar
The first round of voting will be to get every contestants entries down to 1
Then they compete against each other
Choice awards its a free for all, but the main contest is fair
thick harness
Yeah, each person will end up with a max of two in the contest; a winning sprite and a loser bracket sprite for their second most popular sprite
buoyant bough
you compete against your own entires round 1, so everyone only gets their first and second best sprite move onto the rest of the competition
thick harness
so basically it doesn't matter how many sprites you upload so long as you enter at least one 🙂

Sketching fusions first 🤝
teal grove
Sketching fusions first 🤝
I like the custom bases they provide 🤝
And i also enjoy seeing them all in their various sizes on the same sheet of paper
thick harness
Plus custom base sprites feel more unique, which helps them both in the contest and just in general
Although i'm not saying that regular base fusions are bad; I do my fair share of those too
teal grove
Plus plus i find it less of a hassle to do custom bases first rather than having to edit an existing base into a certain pose
late sequoia
mhmm
pastel hollow
thick harness
Sketching a fusion can also be helpful if the pose you wants have particularly tricky elements (like hands ugh) because I always find it quicker and easier to play around with a drawn sketch than a pixel drawing

explain why blue

Honestly all 3 of these palettes are good
But, we use g5
So the other 2 would be good alts
Whats weird is the shinies didn’t shift
livid stratus
I spent like 10-15 min recoloring the diamond/pearl sprite with gen 5 colors and hg-ss was already in the right colors?
I've been scammed
silver solar
The g4 sprite for gligar is amazing, just needed to recolor it before using
I recolor all the sprites on my reference sheets. Because even if they look the same, they’re probably different
late sequoia
Hmm, think I want to try a Chinchou body next. Now what to combine it with....

I spent like 10-15 min recoloring the diamond/pearl sprite with gen 5 colors and...
It probably isn’t lol
Thats how you get double the colors you should have
valid nacelle
Onix, Sycther, Lickitung, all weird to be valid choices
I feel like Onix as a valid choice was just an wake up call to help Onix fusions get some custom sprites.
Besides, Onix's lacking a bit in that department.

Not recoloring the stuff just because it looks ok
Besides thats a slightly different pose in hgss

Do we post our Little Cup 3 Entries to the Gallery too or just to the Google Drive for now?

Onix has the potential for some amazing sprites this contest
He's just a lot of effort to work with

And i also enjoy seeing them all in their various sizes on the same sheet of pap...

livid stratus
I have a ton of cool ideas

I think Onix kind of defeats the purpose of this contest, so it's a real black sheep
livid stratus
But all of them are too hard for me to make
median heron
My sketchbook has filled at an alarming rate with this contest
silver solar
Nah, the purpose os to get first stages to have fusions together
Onix is a first stage

How?
silver solar
And has been a first stage instead of a single stage since gen 2

Onix is the only Kaiju meta sprite in a Kaiju meta banned contest
teal grove
Big =/= winning
livid stratus
So he funny
teal grove
Take the last LC for example, a honedge/mr mime won
median heron
The little cup is about pokemon that can but aren’t evolved
livid stratus
Onix is perfectly viable
silver solar
Sneasel wouldn’t have been valid for this if g4 didn’t add weavile and gligar for gliscor. Its so weird thinking those (especially weavile) were additional and not always there
valid nacelle
Bigger doesn't always mean better. It takes a lot of effort to make one to start. Especially for ones like Onix.
median heron
Gligar being a standalone pokemon is odd
ivory olive
I could imagine someone doing a kaiju Wailmer/Onix for this contest out of spite
silver solar
Meanwhile gen 4 also made roselia both valid and not valid
median heron
Onix is fun to do
silver solar
By adding an evo but oops there’s a baby too
median heron
How will you orb snake-ify a given mon
ivory olive
Budew is cute tho
silver solar
Yeah, roselia just has flowers to play with
I have checked the size of all sprites against gen 5 one so far
I need to do that with the cool custom bases i might wanna use too
ivory olive
let's see it Senko
livid stratus
Someone should try to make an eater of worlds Onix sprite
median heron
Yeah, it was definitely too big, for either a contest or a normal sprite
ivory olive
I wanna see goddammit
silver solar
I saw a piplup custom i wanna use but again, gotta compare stuff
median heron
Someone should try to make an eater of worlds Onix sprite
Ekans/Onix perhaps
livid stratus
Klink and Onix could be the destroyer
silver solar
Maybe no one wants to do small onic orb
Anyway i have my spreadsheets to use for all my future contest fusions so i no longer have to worry about valid or not
teal grove
Carbon, did you count?
valid nacelle
Ekans/Onix perhaps
I just checked the calculator. One's been done for Ekans/Onix, but there's no custom sprite for Onix/Ekans.
livid stratus
There's actually a lot of cool terraria sprites that could be used as inspiration for this contest
ivory olive
Carbon, did you count?
I told you I don't know how
looking for teeny tinys to do I found this goober

Not just Terraria. I came to the realization last night that one could fuse Mime Jr. and Gligar lines together to reference a certain jester from the Kirby series.
limber venture
References in general have a lot of potential
silver solar
I have references to salmon run on the back burner for later. But I probably wont do overt references for this
Also, here’s a tip
livid stratus
Idk, later I'm gonna make something that's farting
silver solar
If you want smaller than normal sprites that are still kinda detailed. Pokemon ranger
livid stratus
Cause koffing is funny boi
valid nacelle
References in general have a lot of potential
I was thinking about references that could work, then I just realized.
Nosepass line (Shape) + Pawniard line (Blade) = in theory, could reference Pyramid Head (Silent Hill).
silver solar
The angles might not always work. But the sprites are great
I got tiny mantyke uh, antenna? From there
near horizon
I'm so sad that my Koffing/Aron can't make it to the contest, because he's really nice i think xD
ivory olive
counted it finally, 292
if someone else wants to do it next time, be my fucking guest because ow
we need a bot for this

Me when im asked about what happened on the night of march third;
hybrid shell
possibly the wrong general there buddy
ivory olive
general is general dude
hybrid shell
alright alright got me there
viscid dome
Redoing all of the shading to make it less dramatic... Should've followed a guide from the beginning
Trying to follow the guidelines howhee
hybrid shell
Awwww, I love the dramatic one
ivory olive
alright counted again, we're at 302 :D
@tall moss hey frendo, we hit 300, wanna give us a real challenge now lol?

ivory olive
I guess I miscounted when I said it initially but hahaha
silver solar
I, at least got my reference sheets for shinx and sneasel done today
But also, i kinda wanna add vulpix to my list of stuff

Choices
🇦 Abundance
🇧 Luck
🇨 Underdog
Settings
:one: allowed choice
late sequoia
Yeah abundance isn't in my favor, luck is fun, but Underdog is interesting
silver solar
Time for me to make a Vulpix spreadsheet
And then a Vulpix reference sheet
I swear after i have the sheets done they’ll help me pump out sprites
hollow gull
Underdog definitely means the small guy with the least amount of entries
