[plucky arch]

charmander bodies are definitely way more fun

[cerulean ice]

Allow me to show you the beauty of Venonat body.

[plucky arch]

oh trust me i know

wheres my Swinub/Venonat

[whole bronze]

of my 4 entries, 3 of them are Nosepass fusions.. 😅

[cerulean ice]

Venonat Sharing Time

[plucky arch]

id like to point out, it is a Tribble

twas for fantasy contest

[cerulean ice]

I love it.

[whole bronze]

I hear there's trouble with those...

[plucky arch]

so its a reference, which is why its so,,, simplistic

still wasnt my most voted venonat fusion in that contest

surprisingly

[cerulean ice]

I can't imagine voting for anything else when such a beauty was present.

[plucky arch]

mothman

[cerulean ice]

Inferior to ball of fluff

[plucky arch]

this baby is the only sprite of mine to make it past semis

[cerulean ice]

I've only been in one contest and I didn't watch the voting. 🤣

[plucky arch]

valid honestly

[cerulean ice]

Congratulations on making it to the semi finals!

[plucky arch]

oh woops i mispoke

i definitely meant Prelims

i got knocked out at Quarters lmao

[cerulean ice]

That's still great.

[plucky arch]

Fantasy Contest was stacked tho

[cerulean ice]

I bet. Fantasy is such a fun topic.

[plucky arch]

lots of horses honestly

lots of horses

[cerulean ice]

I would have contributed to that number.

Looks like I made it past the preliminary round last contest. Nice! 👏

[plucky arch]

dopee!

[cerulean ice]

I'm more excited about this contest. I'm loving seeing all the good little mons.

[plucky arch]

oh same, first evos are what im good at

i think ive made like, one? fusion between 2 final evolved pokemon, like not including ones that dont evolve

[tall moss]

((all little cup comps are just me trying to twist peoples arms into making more sprites for the game ))

[deft kite]

its working

machop will be very much closer to done 😉

[cerulean ice]

Understandable. It can be difficult to combine two somewhat complex designs into something recognizable as both without a lot of detail.

[plucky arch]

lemme check actually

Venusaur/Shedinja
Sunflora/Dugtrio
Whimsicott/Parasect
Jumpluff/Roserade
(Magnezone/Espeon,, kinda?)
Lanturn/Chandelure

so ive made quite a few it seems

oh i should make a fusion tierlist of my fusions

[cerulean ice]

Can you tier your own fusions? XD

[plucky arch]

oh ofc

i have some i look at and think are Awful

[late sequoia]

^ The only issue with tiering your own art is looking back on things and going wtf was I thinking with this design or I could make that shadow look better

[plucky arch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/543958354377179176/1064980138237890591/329.364.png

this is prolly the worst fusion ive made and i 100% intend to redo it at some point

im just waiting to come up with an idea at this point

[cerulean ice]

I've been designing things so long that I'd have to go back to some of my first drawings in order to feel that strongly about a design being "bad." XD

I judge three year old me for making the worst rainbow fish papercraft.

But I still love it because it's charming in its own way.

[sterile pasture]

I doodle a bunch until I find something I really like. A lot of my sketches don't go anywhere

[sterile pasture]

The horse girl in me is Very Sad I missed this

[tall moss]

with my job as an anim lead my mentality about art thigns being good or bad has completely changed

i can tell a bad scene from a experienced animator vs a good scene from a beginner one

so even though the former might be overall better quality wise ill still think the scene from the beginner artist is nicer bc all i see is the jump in quality in their individial skill

[sterile pasture]

That makes sense!

[cerulean ice]

Agreed. I've been an art and design admin for going on ten years. 😂

My favorite part is watching artists grow, which preferences change, and which don't.

[tall moss]

yes

i love my team to bits

[cerulean ice]

The IF team all seem very nice. 😩👌

[tall moss]

i maent my meatspace day job team but the IF team is aite too

[cerulean ice]

Fair.

[sterile pasture]

awww 💕

[cerulean ice]

@tall moss Rait my art pls

[supple olive]

10/3

[sterile pasture]

I love how you got halfway through and then got distracted. You are a true artist

Bonus points if you just started another drawing without finishing this

[cerulean ice]

Probably this one. 😂

They were together, so I can only assume.

[supple olive]

10/.3

[tall moss]

i love the face

[tall moss]

i also love this one

its little arms

[cerulean ice]

The Charmander's expression is amazing. I don't know why I didn't do the same with Pichu. I have so many questions.

[slow gyro]

Come here and fight me then

[plucky arch]

of course its you

[slow gyro]

And I haven’t upload the 6 Zoruas I made this morning

[plucky arch]

if someone mildly inconveniences me in any way, they immediately become my nemesis

[slow gyro]

I dare you to start doing a lot of sprites

I love rivalries

Friendly ones of course

I think it’s the best way to improve

[plucky arch]

bet, i will once i finish this tier list

[slow gyro]

||I’ll win every single award I can cause I need the money, so come and try to stop me, if you can||

[slow gyro]

Then it’ll be too late

And I’ll have at least 30 sprites

Maybe 40

Even 50

[plucky arch]

unfortunately i am incredibly neurodivergent and things Must be finished once they are started

[slow gyro]

Not even Kiwi will be able to stop me

[slow gyro]

Me too lol

||I have a request I haven’t done from Zero and a NPC Sprite from other game||

[digital valley]

has only 8 sprites and knows others have already gone way past that amount and plan more
…Yeah imma just accept defeat on “make the most entries” award

[slow gyro]

I dare you too to try and beat me!

[digital valley]

Nyo 🏳️

[slow gyro]

The hardest the challenge, the sweater the victory

[slow gyro]

But I’m daring you!

[digital valley]

Suffer in the denial of a dare >:3

[slow gyro]

You let me no choice

||Culo si no||

Sadly, that just work in Spanish

But there’s no way it doesn’t work (In Spanish at least)

[digital valley]

Jokes on you, I don’t know any other languages other than English and American Sign Language

[slow gyro]

I just know Spanish, English and Stupidity

[digital valley]

👍 presses thumb against chin and wiggles it left and right

(That’s how you say “suffer” in ASL)

[plucky arch]

oo boy this is A Lot

im including all my alts in this cause its easier to select the files

[digital valley]

I wonder how far I can stretch emojis into Sign Language…

👉🚶‍♀️

[slow gyro]

Idk what you’re saying but you’re lying!

[slow gyro]

No, you’re not lying

You’re completely right

[late sequoia]

.... going "off script" for fusions is hard to make sure you portray what the fusion is

[plucky arch]

hm?

[late sequoia]

Working on a exeggcute/budew sprite, but basically making them an Easter basket type of thing cause that's what I saw them as with the automated sprite

[slow gyro]

Idk dude, I’m just making emo Pokemon with Zorua

[digital valley]

(Also not sure how well it was conveyed, but 👉🚶‍♀️ was just pointing at myself in general and 😃👈 was specifically pointing to forehead)

[whole bronze]

Nincada's palette is atrocious

[plucky arch]

oh? ive never used it before, whats so bad?

[heady escarp]

zorua bellossom

[plucky arch]

finally got the tier list finished, kept getting distracted

time to make some more sprites

[whole bronze]

just the almost stucco color that's all over it's body lol

and there's only 3 greens and for most fusions, you need a custom shade/tint to bring it together

[plucky arch]

yeahh

[turbid jackal]

contest?

[whole bronze]

contest

[edgy turtle]

contest

[whole bronze]

lol

is the jumbled channels a server-wide problem? or is it just in the artwork and competitions channels?

[edgy turtle]

Yes, it happened for me too.

[cedar quest]

It’ll make sense in a couple hours

[edgy turtle]

It completely stalled my attempt to make a sprite checklist.

[whole bronze]

I had the feeling it was just some maintenance. Just was shocking to look up and see things in the wrong place lol

[edgy turtle]

Since all the "artwork" channels are jumbled too

It's not just contest that's weird.

If this is a contest related thing, it should remain in contest, imho

[whole bronze]

yeah, looked like the chat channels were fine (only checked two though)

[grand tusk]

it's a "look at the date" problem

[pastel hollow]

honestly the name changes to the contest threads changes nothing because i always click the wrong ones anyways

[whole bronze]

yeah, I figured it out.
I don't get the appeal of messing with people though.

[arctic delta]

contest

[tall moss]

chaos and mayhem are my lifeblood

[whole bronze]

I think they're what give me clots 😂

[tall moss]

get clotted

[pulsar rampart]

im mildly inconvenienced

and i do not like it

my happy place is now beyond reach

[teal grove]

Oh fucking hell

Most entries, you gotta be kidding me

This is gonna suck

[wind matrix]

gonna go for it?

[teal grove]

On one hand, including sketches, i already have the most entries

On the other hand, someone will probably surpass me unless i make more

And im supposed to study in these next two weeks

[honest tulip]

Just don’t participate like me

[teal grove]

But i want the money

I also wonder if there’s gonna be as many choice awards as the GHT, even if they dont all get announced

April fools

[naive summit]

smh yall talking in #event-general yall should move to #special-contest-gallery instead

[teal grove]

I will maim and kill whoever thought this was a good idea

[tall moss]

i cant give people their prize money if im dead

[teal grove]

Im acquainted to graverobbing

[slow gyro]

Hello there

I hate 3D animating on Maya

The program have closed itself like 3 times and I lost part of my homework every time

[teal grove]

You screamed the first time it happened, you sighed the second time and you cry-laughed the third time

Maya hee, maya hoo, maya haha

[zinc lion]

wh... what happened to the contest channels

[teal grove]

Hell

[zinc lion]

oh cool i'm an admin

[dusk schooner]

contest

[pulsar rampart]

are we allowed to like,
do fusions that already exist

[teal grove]

Read the rules

[slow gyro]

Maya?

[teal grove]

Answer is no, if they existed before the contest announcement you cant

[pulsar rampart]

bro it was hard enough to find this channel, if i try to look for the rules too im going to have a stress induced heart attack

[teal grove]

This one

#special-contest message

Link to the first message about the contest, rest is underneath

[tall moss]

husk is the mvp during this chaos

[slow gyro]

@teal grove could you give me an orange name?

@tall moss wouldn’t it be funny if the server suddenly had a picture of george?

[civic zinc]

Oh my jeez the April fools has taken affect

[livid stratus]

Uh oh

[teal grove]

I dont even know what orange is anymore

[gray igloo]

Oh boi i love contest

[teal grove]

"if contest is so good why isn't there a contest 2?" guess what

[gray igloo]

I love being a contest manager

[teal grove]

*sprite manager

[gray igloo]

No u

[deft kite]

guys what has kiwi said abouts effects

and like, how much is too much

@tall moss

[deft kite]

also whos got the most entries rn

[viscid dome]

I overworked my entry for so long so I just made something simpler for now haha.

[near horizon]

Well, the hairs is part of body so i guess it's too big x)

[torn dawn]

pokemon if2?

did i fall for an april fools joke?

[teal grove]

yes

[torn dawn]

[plucky arch]

chaos in the streets

[short dirge]

contest

contest

[plucky arch]

contest in the streets

[teal grove]

chaos in the sheets

[short dirge]

I can’t believe I’m witnessing the record for the most number of contests ever on this server

[plucky arch]

ok but its not enough

when next contest?

[teal grove]

in 25 days

[supple olive]

Contest

[torn dawn]

Are some of the harvested sprites in the gallery posted by Yanmega today April fools jokes too? 👀

[sharp estuary]

contest

[teal grove]

yes

[mint lava]

contest

YES COOL NAME

[heady escarp]

this aprils fools thing is driving me insane

[late sequoia]

Alright, just finished my next sprite for the contest. What do you guys think?

[inland pollen]

Needs to be more cursed

[teal grove]

Somehow weirdly similar to mine

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1091737709380382841/1091737709900468254/84.387.png

[late sequoia]

I saw others doing later gen Pokemon fusions and decided to do a S/V fusion at random. Pulled up a random number generator and that's what I got. Couldn't have asked for a better one

[teal grove]

in one day i added 12 more entries

im exhausted to say the least

all of them were custom bases

[late sequoia]

Oh wow, that's alot

[teal grove]

depending on the feedback of my latest spritework post, it might become 13

which would put me at 15 entries total

i probably wont be able to this many a day anymore in the next two weeks, but i still got at least 17 more fusions planned and sketched

[late sequoia]

Yep, that's a lot and the ones I've seen of yours have come out great.

[teal grove]

thank you, i hope others think the same

but damn this contest was informative

i often use newer gen mons for the heads of my fusions

but these older gen mons have great color palettes for head fusions

probably because they are mostly one color and thus have a ton of shades

oh wow, i dont think im gonna get that most entries choice award, hero.drawing is already at 22

and their most recent stuff hasnt even been added yet

they'd easily reach 40 in the next few days with all their unposted stuff

[late sequoia]

Yeah, and here I am stuck on #5 lol. But it has been fun

[teal grove]

goddamn what im doing is hard, i wnat to make sure all my entries have no repeat pokemon

i managed to come up with 5 additional ideas, so 37 entries total planned, and 74 mons used for them

there are 145 mons to choose from, meaning that im already over halfway

wait a minute

the other mon in the poll, mega lucario, has Adaptability

maybe what im doing qualifies for that choice award

[limber venture]

That one doesn't exist

[teal grove]

*choicen't award

[limber venture]

Kiwi already said what the award would have been if lucario won

[teal grove]

no they didn't

[limber venture]

On god?

[teal grove]

see i gave a purposefully wrong answer so you wold fetch the message for me

[limber venture]

I was only pretending to be wrong

[teal grove]

so, my best chance at a fucking choice award slips through my fingers

[limber venture]

Yes

[teal grove]

and i voted lucario too

[limber venture]

Should've posted lucario propaganda

[late sequoia]

There is always a chance that if we hit certain milestones that the ones not used yet could still be

[teal grove]

god i fucking hope so

[silver solar]

I am on track so far for 80 entries

Or, 80 more entries than i already have in the folder

[misty acorn]

I am also on track

For 0 entries

[silver solar]

Got 5 more in spritework and while i might not make any today i am working on getting my files all set up

Gonna get files set up for goldeen, dratini, and all the starters

[near horizon]

Only 4 (5) entry for me, and it's kinda the "spot the intruder"

[silver solar]

Yeah I’m not entering my alts

As much as i love the shiny alt for ponyta/sneasel

[plucky arch]

hmm ive got 3 more entries planned

hate to say it but ive dont have a ton

[slow gyro]

I have 22 on the file and 12 on feedback fase that I’ll try to upload today

[plucky arch]

yeah lmao im too creatively bankrupt to do anything more then 23 rn

[naive summit]

I have like, one rn lmao

Idk haven't had any ideas, just been making Chinchous

[digital valley]

Well if there’s one thing I can say it’s this: there’s 0 chance a chinchou will win least used mon, especially with another prize for best chinchou

[mint lava]

i have seen no fusions of my two pokemon

[fading lodge]

Am I... Am I done with the contest? I'm having trouble coming up with ideas of what I want to fuse together...

My last two sprites I feel were "I did them because I could" and not "I did them because I'm inspired."

[late sequoia]

That may be the case, don't become burned out just doing contest submissions. Take breaks, work on things for fun. There is still all of April left for the contest, maybe something will inspire you before then. If not, that's fine too. This is a hobby after all, do what's fun for you and not feel like because you have too.

[glossy oriole]

Do you think this is a valid sprite for an onix/vulpix fusion or is the concept itself unsuitable for onix?

(based on the fox statues of inari shrines)

[fading lodge]

I see more Geodude than Onix.

[sterile pasture]

I'm picking up that it's fused with a rock pokemon but not Onix specifically

[plucky arch]

something like onix's head spike might help?

[rustic goblet]

Geodude vibes

[pastel hollow]

unfortunately, geodude/vulpix predates the contest

[livid stratus]

I'm incapable of making this, too complicated, but if y'all want something terrifying, make a Geodude/Onix that looks like a centipede walking on Geodude hands

[pastel hollow]

theres already a geodude/onix

[teal grove]

I also have a similar idea

[teal grove]

Cypress there’s only one pokemon that starts its name with those two letters you just deleted

[livid stratus]

Someone make a horrifying Onix fusion for the contest, would contrast well with all the cuteness

And would be hilarious

[teal grove]

Im already on the case

[livid stratus]

Cool beans

[teal grove]

It's also fused with a usually very cute pokemon, so itll be a double whammy

[livid stratus]

Let's gooooo

[wind matrix]

It's so weird seeing Husk make non-klingklang sprites

[teal grove]

Ikr

Im quite good at it for some reason

Once i get 42 klinklangs i want to do other stuff

[silver merlin]

shouldve got to 230 klingklangs

[wind matrix]

he's only making other sprites because of the contest

[honest tulip]

Only for April fools, someone go remind him he can’t sprite non-klinklang anymore

[wide knoll]

i made some spooks for contrast

with axew heads

[dawn kestrel]

A tangela body of Onix would be interesting to see

[errant hazel]

That one already exists sadly, though onix/tangela doesn't

Wait

My b I read wrong

Or wait

[dawn kestrel]

onix body with tangela head is the custom right?

[errant hazel]

Yeah

[teal grove]

You owe me a klinklang

For no discernable reason

You just do

[silver merlin]

:3 itll never arrive

[teal grove]

Ill win money from this contest and use it to commission you a klinklang

[errant hazel]

Win the contest with a klink to commission a klinklang

[timid shore]

there are so many folders it took me like 5 mins to find mine

[cerulean ice]

You can change the color of your folder so it's easier to find. It only affects your account. No one else sees the color change.

[timid shore]

ooooo thanks for the tip

[errant hazel]

I've bookmarked mine

[thick harness]

Changing the colour won't do me much good since regardless i'm all the way at the bottom why couldn't I have chosen a username near the beginning of the alphabet

[honest tulip]

0Yoshicasso

[timid shore]

press the ⬆️ button to change it to ⬇️

oh huh changing sort by name to sorting by last modified means my folder shows up quicker too yippee

[thick harness]

I did not know that was a thing; thank you!

[pine rose]

I made this little guy

[sharp mountain]

coot!

[teal grove]

I know you wanted to say cute in a cute way but

Coot is an english swear word

[sterile pasture]

Cyut

[plucky arch]

i made a very cute Onix fusion thankfully

ill be the outstander here it seems

[livid stratus]

My Onix fusion is cute

[teal grove]

My onix fusion will make you wet the bed

[silver solar]

Pretty sure its also a bird

[buoyant bough]

it's not really a swear word, just a mildly derogatory term which isn't really used much lol

i love the birds tho! they live on the canal i'm nearby, their calls are so cute

[silver solar]

Its not bad enough for the bot to yell at us

[buoyant bough]

they have big ol' feet which are so silly <3

[silver solar]

Also, i am sad at the lack of official sprite poses for some Pokémon

Look at this, this is sad

This is all the mudkips, original mudkip is just the same pose as gen 5 but in that style

I got him doing a little steppy and him standing there

[buoyant bough]

if you flip between the top two quickly it'd look like he's doing a little dance

[silver solar]

Good news! Thats how they’re used in game

Just check gameplay of any gen 4 game with mudkip sent out as an enemy

I legitimately have more bases for the gen 4 starters tho

Because they got unique ones for, i think each gen 4 game

The problem with custom bases is finding them, making sure they aint kaiju, and having permission to use

[teal grove]

He's already perfect

[ocean crown]

There is a resource in this server for more bases too and there should be some mudkips in there! You could also search the gallery as well

[silver solar]

I know, but the drive hasn’t been updated in ages

Then i have to check the size amd see the perms

[ocean crown]

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1VGAJ_vbIRjXoJawsRwL0BgF_4dNWgR4v

Ah

There should be at least a couple more in there tho at least

[fading lodge]

For my Gallade/Krookodile fusion, I remember that I used the animated gif or whatever and used a different frame to find a better pose than the default sprite. I forget how I did that unfortunately, but it is an option.

[silver solar]

I dont consider those animation frames worth it for these quick fusions

They’re so messy

Plus mudkips is pretty basic anyway

[ivory olive]

I wonder what the number is at now

[buoyant bough]

when i check this morning it was at just under 600, i'll check again real quick

617

[limber venture]

im seeing these numbers and im like "not even that many tbh" then the actual amount that is hits me

it just seems small because serverwide, we make like. 500 sprites a day

[slow gyro]

And I haven’t uploaded 14

[teal grove]

chill the fuck down lmao

you alone made me lose all hope for that latest choice award lol

god fucking dammit i wish lucario had won

[timid shore]

just wait til we have 750 entries?

[teal grove]

no

[plucky arch]

(my only hope for winning that is that people with the most get burnt OUT)

(and i slowly overtake them)

[teal grove]

"people with the most"

you can just say hero.drawing

[silver solar]

I mean, i have plans for like 80 sprites

And I’m currently on track for that

[thick harness]

I am taking it as it comes, I know i'm never going to make enough sprites to get that choicn't award and i'd rather just take my time and sprite fusions I have clear inspiration for

I tried forcing myself to make a littlest cup category fusion without a clear idea and that sprite was so awful I've scrapped it

[plucky arch]

im using this contest as a slight way to, force myself into motivation

[silver solar]

Same

[plucky arch]

and in using mons i wouldnt normally

[silver solar]

I usually spend ages on my reference sheets

[gentle junco]

how do
contests work

I am silly little dum dum

[plucky arch]

like i keep a lil chart of the ones ive used

[gentle junco]

babyyy

[teal grove]

dammit i shouldve done that

[plucky arch]

#special-contest should explain

[teal grove]

would make my plan of never using the same mon twice much easier

[plucky arch]

yea im not all too worried about repeats which makes it easier

[silver solar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/702626820876533851/1091345897247481970/Sneasel_Reference.png
The problem is I usually make reference sheets like this

[slow gyro]

I won’t

[silver solar]

Even updating that one to be less bad took a long time

[teal grove]

[slow gyro]

I still have just the 22 plus the 14 I haven’t uploaded

[silver solar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/702626820876533851/1091539097409032303/Sneasel_Reference.png

[teal grove]

so the choice award will go to either sitten or hero.drawing

[silver solar]

Getting it to this took ages

Also, ive said it` before but anyone can use this sheet

[plucky arch]

ive made,, 4 Voltorbs, 2 Geodudes, and 2 Grimers

[plucky arch]

so technically im winning rn, ive got 24

[slow gyro]

Perhaps

[silver solar]

Its an imperfect sheet. But it’s still good

[plucky arch]

oh and 2 Wynauts, 2 Sunkerns, and 2 Igglybuffs

[slow gyro]

Which lil ice types pass the ice type as head and which as body?

[silver solar]

Oh shoot i can’t remember which sneasel does

[slow gyro]

I think sneasel body is the ice

[silver solar]

I just add ice effects when i can because i know itll learn ice moves

[slow gyro]

Idr swinub and seel

[teal grove]

not me giving the pure water type seel ice attributes

[slow gyro]

Wait, seel is pure water?

[thick harness]

weirdly, yes

[plucky arch]

im not sure

i know Glaceon and Swinub do but Glaceon isnt on here

[teal grove]

what about smoochum

[plucky arch]

i remember checking cause i was upset at the lack of ice types

Smoochum is also Ice it seems

[silver solar]

Pure or dual

[thick harness]

the lack of ice types is partly due to just the lack of ice-types in infinite fusions in general

[silver solar]

I’m not sure if there’s a lot pf pure ice babies

Only pure ice i can think of are articuno (for fusions) amd glaceon

[thick harness]

if I remember correctly ice has the lowest amount of pokémon in this game, followed by fighting and fairy

[slow gyro]

I just dislike it

[teal grove]

same

[slow gyro]

So crabominable was the way to

[silver solar]

Man, that means gens 1 + 2 dont have a lot of ice

[thick harness]

Ugh never; i'd take a million more poison and water types over crabominable any day

[slow gyro]

Man, crabominable is a great Pokémon

Idk why people hate it

[silver solar]

Should have gotten the snorunt line in game

[slow gyro]

It’s just abominable

[silver solar]

Would make my boyfriend happy too

[thick harness]

Snorunt or vanillite would've been my picks for ice types in this game

[silver solar]

Snover is also good

[slow gyro]

I like waaay more crabominable over vanillite

[silver solar]

Or cubchoo

[teal grove]

it would be really good for head fusions

imagine crabominable/Machamp

[slow gyro]

That would have been so cool for body fusions

An elemental bear

[silver solar]

Ok thats fair

Head fusions could get rid of the weird face

[fading lodge]

Didn't both Lucario and Mewtwo X have Steadfast as their ability?

[slow gyro]

Imagine crabominable crabominable

[teal grove]

adaptability for lucario

and it would mean that the person with the most different mons sprited would get a prize

aka me

[silver solar]

Tbh I’m ok with the lack of fighting types and the lack of fairies

[teal grove]

the stars all aligned except for like 9 which voted mewtwo

[slow gyro]

Not on my watch

[teal grove]

go sprite another zorua head

[silver solar]

Fairy didn’t have a ton of pokemon with sprites already and fighting has plenty of pure type also its my least favorite type

[slow gyro]

Toxicroak

[slow gyro]

MCR STARTS PLAYING

[silver solar]

I like toxicroak but 4x weak to mind games and also i think of it as poison over fighting

[slow gyro]

Tbh I love poisson types but most of the ones in game are a bit weak

[teal grove]

toxicroak wouldve been so fucking cool

[silver solar]

Poison is a bit of a weak type in general

[thick harness]

That's cos most of the poison types just come from gen 1

[teal grove]

as a body especially

[silver solar]

It needs another thing to be strong against

[thick harness]

So many weak poison types in that gen

[slow gyro]

Crabominable Toxicroak

[silver solar]

Grass? Has a lot of way more versatile weaknesses

Fairy made poison more useful but steel is good there too plus steel has defense

[teal grove]

that would unironically slap

maybe we can get minced to make it

[slow gyro]

[teal grove]

they make great non-if fusions

[slow gyro]

You know which ice type would have been really cool?

Spheal

[silver solar]

(Also toxic doesn’t make poison type as a whole more viable. Like 90% of pokemon can learn toxic)

[slow gyro]

[teal grove]

walrein tho

imagine that fur on others

[silver solar]

Tusks

[slow gyro]

It would have been really fun to fuse

[teal grove]

actually, hold on, scrapi was comissioned a walrein/nidoking a while ago, lemme find it

[slow gyro]

Giving everything mustache

[honest tulip]

Snom

[teal grove]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1013022054750097468/1083617213937897534/Walking.png

[silver solar]

Snom is too new

We dont have anything past gen 7

[honest tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/snomwalk-gif-19470740

[slow gyro]

Smol

[silver solar]

I can accept no snom because of this

[slow gyro]

Frosmoth super fragile though

[honest tulip]

Butt mouth

[teal grove]

imagine ice scales on other mons though

[slow gyro]

If anything is getting special effects, I love it

[teal grove]

fucking ice scales volcarona with both flamethrower and ice beam, as well as quiver dance

[slow gyro]

I freaking love sprinting special effects

[teal grove]

just instantly becomes the best bug type in town

[slow gyro]

God I just goth an idea for a sneasel body

[warped isle]

snom + unown
eyeball butt

the entire fusion

[honest tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/what-haa-gif-25556998

[teal grove]

you seem to have been infected with the blaq virus

[honest tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/no-please-no-god-no-stop-please-stop-gif-17190431

[crystal hill]

there's too many god damn pokemon
😢

I wish there were less so they could all be in

[late sequoia]

The more Pokemon the number of fusions grows exponentially, and we don't even have all the current mons with custom sprites (or at least touched up). Even adding a single Pokemon at this point adds another 841 fusions. If you even just add 30 new mons it balloons above 202k and judging by the FAQ there is a limit that we are already at. It would be neat if you could add in permantely fused Pokemon to say have that Volcarona/Frosmoth fusion mentioned earlier, but idk what the code looks like and you'd have to create a distribution system

[midnight pumice]

We can sacrifice Fraxure for snom, Just make axew evolve to Haxorus directly

[errant hazel]

The triples are essentially that

[midnight pumice]

How many entries are we at?

[errant hazel]

count em

[odd garnet]

What would choosing Mega Lucario have given us?

Entries with the most Quality instead of Quantity?

[pastel hollow]

most different pokemon types represented

[odd garnet]

Ah

[pastel hollow]

so basically quantity but different lol

[wanton temple]

yes we can make sacrifices for snom

all hail snom

[midnight pumice]

We should also get rid of Klang for frosmoth, it's just klink, but with slightly more features

[crisp whale]

Use swinub or caterpie or pyukumuku and pretend it's snom

Poor anorith,,,

Where do you find that sheet 👀

[midnight pumice]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lNhSiS6B4tUf37Rw4joid0vK1DVH-j7tVdAegxPX7aI/edit#gid=2060062874

It's up to date to february sprite packs, so the 11.000 new sprites that were made in March aren't there yet (I contributed like 1% to that number )

[wanton temple]

poor latios

[errant hazel]

Remove Latios from the game

[misty acorn]

Wait why is Wynaut so low?

||And don't you dare answer with...||

[pastel hollow]

just replace every pokemon with smoochum

every fusion is just defined by how many smoochums are in the fusion

so there's a fusion of 420 smoochums out there

[molten crater]

I mean, there is a romhack where every pokemon is bidoof, so it could be at 100% if the creator was cool with that

[limber venture]

that guy already submitted all the doofs

[molten crater]

oh, I was not aware

[wind matrix]

#1069775284615794748

[misty acorn]

What a legend

[frail vortex]

doubled my number of entries today

i may only have had 4 to start with but hey

[plucky arch]

i just made it to 27? 28? im not sure honestly all i know is im just fucking up my votes

oops

i just checked and it seems i mightve accidentally had Voltorb/Meowth in there as "Cloyster (43)" in there for idk how long

[misty acorn]

If one of your entries has the wrong number, all get disquslified

[midnight pumice]

I have bidoof completionist because of that, If all 300 bidoof fusions weren't submitted, I wouldn't had gotten the willpower to make the last 100 bidoof fusions

[midnight pumice]

Get on my level, today I have 6 times more entries than yesterday
(From 1 entry to 7 )

[sterile pasture]

I'm up to 1 that's okay for me

[slow gyro]

I made another 4

[sage coral]

Really surpised Latios and Latias dont have more sprites

[slow gyro]

So Anorith Wynaut uh?

[midnight pumice]

I am gonna make 10 Wynauts fusion to sabotage your idea

Anorith however, seems like a good pick

[plucky arch]

its cause people will usually only make 1

so they get split

[plucky arch]

im sure the Wynaut economy is going to be greatly boosted cuase of this contest

[plucky arch]

yes but are any of them Lileeps

[plucky arch]

goodness i can not find a Single Magikarp head for this contest that has not been done, i dont think there even are any

[wide knoll]

lmao im accidentally being a big contributor to the least sprited pokemon

[midnight pumice]

Monferno it's now gonna get the less sprites spot

[wide knoll]

yea monferno can go die in a bath

[silver solar]

Just about got 4 fusions made today

[simple edge]

i just made my first one :>

[silver solar]

I gotta add a tiny bit to one but hey. Thats good progress for a work day

[simple edge]

these things are hard!! they take a lot of time

[silver solar]

Sometimes they do and sometimes they just pop out

[mint lava]

is anyone doing yanma fusions

[simple edge]

i read that as yamask lol

i want to do a yamask fusion

[mint lava]

is it that forgettable

[silver solar]

I don’t remember what I’m doing other than the stuff i made files for already

[simple edge]

for the little cup contest

[errant hazel]

To be fair, yamask is awesome

[simple edge]

i am doing yamask and staryu

i already did misdreavus/honedge

[mint lava]

yamask is decent imo

i need to finish my fusion

i hate fusions because i want to use the bodys colour but i cant

atleast i dont think i can

[simple edge]

what is your fusion?

[plucky arch]

i was gonna do Magikarp/Yanma but it was done 4 days before the contest

[mint lava]

i dont want to lose the least used pokemon thing >:(

[mint lava]

damn

[plucky arch]

i plan on it tho, i do like Yanma a ton

[mint lava]

[plucky arch]

and i wanna use a bunch of different mons

[mint lava]

i want my least used pokemon award

hopefully my second pokemon can help me with that

[simple edge]

ohhh interesting

[mint lava]

im working on being a spriter

[plucky arch]

id ask what its gonna be but i forget theres money at stake

[errant hazel]

Technically, the best way to go for the least used pokemon for the contest is to find the pokemon with the most sprites before the contest (since they can't have sprites made for the contest and people may not search for them).

[plucky arch]

lmao im just doin this for funsies any money i get im gonna ask to be donated to charity or smth

[mint lava]

have you seen the amount of fusions my second pokemon has

[midnight pumice]

Bidoof 🥹

[mint lava]

wait i should check that

[plucky arch]

smth tells me least used it going to end up going to a completely unexpected pick

like Doduo/Hoothoot or smth

[mint lava]

like 24 fusions

[errant hazel]

Wanna know the (theoretical) best fusion to make?

[mint lava]

hm?

[plucky arch]

it cant be that low

[mint lava]

wait

i check again

[plucky arch]

isnt Fraxure the least with 70?

[mint lava]

lemme check

[midnight pumice]

All i know is that it's not gonna be pineco

[plucky arch]

smhsmh youre out here sabotaging the Pineco market

[mint lava]

if i counted corrrectly

[errant hazel]

Assuming every single possible fusion gets a sprite and there are no duplicates. The best fusion to make mathematically would be Voltorb/Duskull

[mint lava]

yeah i counted correctly

[midnight pumice]

There is no mon with such a low number, unless you are only counting head sprites only / only body

[mint lava]

oh yeah

i forgot

how do i do that

wheres the chart

[midnight pumice]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lNhSiS6B4tUf37Rw4joid0vK1DVH-j7tVdAegxPX7aI/edit#gid=2060062874

[mint lava]

thanks

[plucky arch]

bet

im on team voltorb anyway

[midnight pumice]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lNhSiS6B4tUf37Rw4joid0vK1DVH-j7tVdAegxPX7aI/edit#gid=1323301949 the sorted version also helps

[mint lava]

140

[plucky arch]

perfect advertisement yall go make voltorbs

[silver solar]

Honestly i dont care about specificallt going for that award

[mint lava]

i just want one

[silver solar]

Or even rhe award for unique fusion amount

I’m just using this as an excuse to pound out sprites

[mint lava]

once i finish my sprite im getting help on it bc it will probably suck on the colours

[silver solar]

Ugh, when i rotated and shrank an asset it ended up with over 400 colors

That was painful to fix

[plucky arch]

technically you have to, as all sprites need to be posted to #1050404143807873157 for this contest i believe

if youre a spriter to the gallery but that requires spritework anyway

[silver solar]

Imagine if i posted the uncleaned ice to spritework

[plucky arch]

in case of least used: its been said before

the best strategy is do not think

[silver solar]

My strategy is make fusions that seem neat to do

[plucky arch]

people who think make sprites of things other people think of

[silver solar]

But also specifically with shinx, Vulpix, amd sneasel

[plucky arch]

only those who do not think make Growlithe/Ledyba and win

[mint lava]

thats alot of colours

[errant hazel]

The day before the contest ends I'm simply gonna count all the pokemon used in entries

[midnight pumice]

The strategy is to don’t post the Pokémon until last second

[silver solar]

Good luck getting proper feedback in time

[plucky arch]

and then 5 people do that and make the same sprite

[errant hazel]

Just be awesome at spriting so everyone says "That's perfect"

[silver solar]

Not everyone is mope

[errant hazel]

Anyways, my math solution from earlier seems pretty reliable

[plucky arch]

i was literally gonna make Voltorb/Duskull line next anyway

[mint lava]

im finishing the colours >:,D

now for shadiing

[errant hazel]

Actually technically, it isn't 100% accurate, since instead of factoring each fusion with the other possible fusions in the contest, its using the entire pokedex as a data point, however distribution should be about the same. Technically though there is room for a more perfect answer than voltorb/duskull

[plucky arch]

math is dumb i just make guys i think look cool

[errant hazel]

TRUE

[pastel hollow]

smartest choicen't award ever

making people actually complete a tonne of sprites

[sterile pasture]

I just wanna make pixels of things I care about. I'm definitely not winning that choicent award xD

[mint lava]

im making a tangela cottene fusion

[honest tulip]

The hive mind

[wide knoll]

usually nobody says anything in mine, so ill never know

[silver solar]

I usually drag a friend or two in

Looks like i can add another 5 to the drive tomorrow

Getting closer and closer to the next target

[simple edge]

what is that?

[silver solar]

At 750 the next choicen’t should be revealed

[simple edge]

how many entries are there atm?

[silver solar]

Idk, I’m not gonna count, its after midnight

[slow gyro]

I’ll try to upload my 20 today

So I’ll be at 42

[silver solar]

Nice, I officially have 9 in spritework today

Amd then tomorrow and Tuesday I’m off work so i can really make fusions

[simple edge]

is there any way to see a list of a certain pokemon's fusions?

[silver solar]

I manually made a spreadsheet for my 3 pokemon I use

[timid shore]

try this site: https://kaboom242.github.io/PokemonInfiniteFusionTool/

[slow gyro]

Just uploaded 14 to the drive, sill haven’t post the 6 I made today to the gallery

So I want you all to try and beat me

[silver solar]

Eh, i have my own personal goal. I dont need to play catch up

[simple edge]

i have 1...

[slow gyro]

There’s no hurry xd
I just love being competitive

Good lock on the contest to all

I feel like being competitive usually help people want to achieve better things and I just want everyone to do their best, that’s all

[silver solar]

You do you, I’ll just donmy goal of all the fuaions i “claimed”

[timid shore]

i think im just gonna stop at 6 entries since that's a full team

mine set up right now is really weak to rock tho hmm

[teal grove]

@slow gyro i saw you posting, how many entries are in your drive folder now?

[slow gyro]

42

[teal grove]

Madlad

[slow gyro]

Si

[honest tulip]

Man doing contest completionist

[simple edge]

im drawing my 2nd!

[buoyant bough]

good morning everyone!

my morning entry count check says we're at 716!

wow, there's only 34 to go until the next stretch goal is announced 😳 we'll probably get there today!

[simple edge]

how do you check?

[buoyant bough]

i download the folder and view properties on my PC, it shows how many files there are together (i delete the example and any accidental duplicates i've found before checking)

it's a lot quicker than counting manually that's for sure lol, plus it's useful for other stuff i'm keeping track of as well

[odd garnet]

HOW THE H DID YOU MAKE 716 ENTRIES- oh I read wrong

[timid shore]

we are all one person making 700+ sprites for a contest on this day

[buoyant bough]

lol i havent even made 10 (yet)

[plucky arch]

we all combine our efforts and split the prize like 200 ways, we all get 5 cents

[buoyant bough]

@olive basin @iron obsidian i found some invalid entries in your folders, you both put later evolutions of fusions you made (wobbuffet and tangrowth, respectively). just letting you know!

[mint lava]

[plucky arch]

at 30 lets go

[near horizon]

I've made 5, 7 including alts

[olive basin]

Thanks for the catch! I keep getting wobuffet's number confused with wynaut's and swapping them 😂

[slow gyro]

Starts sprinting the 34

[near horizon]

33 * 'cause i' m working on one

[teal grove]

it's even less cuz me and others have already added to it

[buoyant bough]

we're at 720 (valid) entries currently!

[slow gyro]

Im not sure how many am I going to be able to sprite today

I’ve got 3 requests and something for other server

And I was planning on doing those today

So good luck you all

Hope you get close to how many I’ve made so far

[stiff valley]

Guys ! We're only missing 34 sprites to get to the next goal ! Search "rule 34" on google for more information !
(this is an obvious joke please don't )

[slow gyro]

JAJAJAJAJAJAJA

[teal grove]

yes, we're especially lacking in the ralts department, so make sure to look for "ralts rule 34"

[limber venture]

😧

[teal grove]

now i feel bad for mael since my joke has more reactions than his lol

[plucky arch]

husk is the kid who says the joke louder

[silver solar]

Ok, i guess i should post my ponies then

[teal grove]

that's exactly why i feel bad lmao

[plucky arch]

hey man ive got 30 entries im carrying

yall can pick up the slack

[slow gyro]

Hey, I was wondering

[teal grove]

ive got 17 in the drive

im helping

[slow gyro]

Regional Variants do count for the contest, right?

[teal grove]

nope

[slow gyro]

[teal grove]

do you mean like regional evolutions?

[slow gyro]

I made a Treecko Growlithe using Hisuian Growlithe as base

[teal grove]

i think that's allowed

[slow gyro]

This tropical guy

[silver solar]

Regional forms get alted

But also ask kiwi

[honest tulip]

contest entries have more leeway for creativity

[slow gyro]

I pined her to the thread but didn’t answered so I don’t know

[plucky arch]

id have so many more if i only did contest, but sadly i am also doing my personal chart and team voltorb at the same time as this 😔

[slow gyro]

I paused my participations on the teams lol

On either Volcarona, Torterra and Dusclops

[thick harness]

I did a few entries that help out other teams but I think like TeeOh my focus is going to shift to personal and team charts

[plucky arch]

i gotta make a few non babies to stay sane

like usually when im helping out with Voltorb, ill just submit the ones that qualify but im doing evolved ones too cause its mainly to help out

[grand tusk]

Not funny

[grand tusk]

hahahaha, nice one Husk!

[stiff valley]

[teal grove]

[light ridge]

how to evolve zorua?

[thick jolt]

wrong channel

[late sequoia]

Hey head up to #gameplay-help to ask

[thick jolt]

#ask-a-bot or game help as eb said^

[limber venture]

How tf you manage to get to contest general

[thin dove]

Torterra's a team now? hoo boy

so many teams

[limber venture]

it has been for a while

[thin dove]

interesting

another person to go talk to then

[late sequoia]

Alright 5th entry submitted

Sitting around 738 entries now (give or take a couple)

[slow gyro]

I might have to pause submitting sprites to the contest

I have a lot of homework and 5 requests

It’s your time to make enough sprites to be at pair with me

[late sequoia]

Well homework is important to do so understandable

[simple edge]

im on 3...

[errant hazel]

At a steady rate of 2 per day, I might be able to catch up by the end of the contest. Given your homework takes the next month to do

[plucky arch]

https://tenor.com/view/oogway-my-time-has-come-gif-8019684

[late sequoia]

lol yeah... just took a peek at the number of entries hero has and I don't think I'm catching up lol

[slow gyro]

Perhaps

[slow gyro]

Only if you try hard enough

[simple edge]

yeah its like over 40

[slow gyro]

Im sorry I was over concentrated on spriting

And now I can’t concentrate at my homework

[simple edge]

i made 2 yesterday

[slow gyro]

[slow gyro]

Nice!

[simple edge]

right now i am making koffing/tangela

i have a really cool idea

[slow gyro]

Ping me on the spritework to see it!

[simple edge]

did u want to see the others i made or just that one

[slow gyro]

All

[plucky arch]

hero has 42

i only need 12 more to catch up

[slow gyro]

Then I’ll do my homework fast enough so you can’t catch up

[simple edge]

#1092261673215197284 #1092367210967732266 they are in spritework for feedback haha

[teal grove]

yall need to fucking chill

[slow gyro]

Make me

[simple edge]

what is the sprite in your pfp btw hero

[cedar quest]

Dusclops/Torterra I believe?

[simple edge]

ohhh i see it now

[slow gyro]

Really cool sprites!

I love them

[slow gyro]

Yes

[simple edge]

tyyyy

with my 3rd i can get spriter

[slow gyro]

@tribal dawn was the one who helped me with the design and artwork, I wanted to use the eye as moon but didn’t knew how, so it’s thanks to him that that sprite looks cool

[plucky arch]

i mean i highly doubt im getting that many done any time soon

[slow gyro]

(Artie sorry for the ping if you’re busy, I just want everyone to know it was a collab with you cause I love your art)

[slow gyro]

That’s not the way you should think!

Of course you can

You just have to believe in yourself

[plucky arch]

i mean im gonna try

[slow gyro]

And try hard enough

[plucky arch]

but im not gonna burn myself out

[simple edge]

honestly that sprite is so cool the idea is insane

[teal grove]

nah

[simple edge]

and i love the eye moon

[teal grove]

even though it's not gonna be a choice award, i still want to continue with my initial plan

never use the same pokemon twice

[limber venture]

maybe kiwi will taek pity on you and make it the next choice award

i doubt it because she revealed it already but who knows

[teal grove]

it's kiwi

anything could happen

[slow gyro]

If I make enough sprites, kiwi will eventually run out of choice awards and will have to use that

[limber venture]

exactly

[plucky arch]

i mean theres still 1 more i bleieve

[errant hazel]

I'm just using this as an excuse to make as many fusions as possible with Pawniard, love that little dude

[silver solar]

Yeah but we got hints about em already

I just cant remember the hints

[teal grove]

still 1 more to be revealed

she could always keep a bunch extra behind her back

[slow gyro]

I got the idea to start giving black hats to Pokemon (fusing with murkrow) but now I can’t cause of the homework and my lack of concentration

[simple edge]

gentleman slowpoke with a hat

[slow gyro]

I already got some ideas, but it’ll be fun if you also start using murkrow

[teal grove]

i got a murkrow/yamask planned

[slow gyro]

So half of the contest is just black hat Pokemon

[simple edge]

i had some murkrow ideas but they were already taken 😦

[slow gyro]

I think there’s no problem

[simple edge]

you areant allowed to submit entries whose combination already has a custom sprite prior to the contest

i wanted cubone murkrow plague doctor but alas

[slow gyro]

Oh, right, I thought you meant from people during the contest

[slow gyro]

@thin dove did you saw my Zorua/Totodile for the contest?

I just saw you talking on #sprite-charts and remember it

[thin dove]

yes

[slow gyro]

Jajsjs emo Totodile

Wouldn’t it be fun to have all the line as emo?

[thin dove]

it'd be kinda funny as a joke sprite gang yeah

i'm gonna be honest with you, i had an idea in mind for a different base for that fusion. So while I do not normally do this...I might be altin'

this contest really put me in the custom base mood

so now we will be buddies. 🤝

[edgy turtle]

when does the current sponsored contest end?

[limber venture]

The submissions end a month from whenever the first message about it was dropped

[crystal hill]

there's a timestamp in the rule's post

that updates

22 days from now

[edgy turtle]

okay

[slow gyro]

Oh I have no prob if you do a better sprite than mine, at the end, Totodile is your boy

Id love to see it

[thin dove]

i'm doing an alt of the chinchou/totodile too, if the person who did that sprite checks here

[tribal dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/catshakira-cat-dance-catdance-catdancing-gif-22503034

u did an awesome job with the sprite tho

[near horizon]

So now we reached the goal?

[thick harness]

Have we reached the goal? I thought we were still a few away

[near horizon]

Well husk said "1 more" and I submitted one right now

[buoyant bough]

we're at 754 entries

[thick harness]

We reached the next milestone already!?

[crystal hill]

and one of those is mine!

I should go to bed

I keep saying that and then not doing it

[simple edge]

@slow gyro whats ur next project?

[slow gyro]

I have 5 requests to do

The first one is a Hydreigon Haxorus from @crude cedar

[warped isle]

oooooooH

THAT SOUNDS SO COOL

[limber venture]

Damn you're a spriter already

You got the express ticket

It takes some people like a week for their ticket to be seen

[warped isle]

YEAH I RUSHED IT I RLLY WANTED 5O BECOME A SPRITER

WGAT

thats crazy
i was like
full on discussion with one of the ppls

they werereally cool and patient i felt so bad i kept messing it up

[limber venture]

There's usually tons of tickets, so it takes a lot of time for the sprite managers to get through them all

You got it a lot faster than some people i've seen

[pastel hollow]

huh, it went by pretty quick for me personally

[limber venture]

It really depends

[pastel hollow]

though things are probably way more intense now

so much traffic

My applications was dming a sprite manager with three sprites and being accepted and just being told to rename them when i submit them

[sterile pasture]

Mine was like less than an hour 😂 and that was only 2-3 weeks ago

[limber venture]

Mine was instant

[warped isle]

tbh.. all i know is that they were a sweetheart

[sterile pasture]

Aww

[limber venture]

Who did you get

[simple edge]

that sounds sick af

[simple edge]

what fusions have you made?

[slow gyro]

It’s going to be a reference to a monster idk the name, I could pin you to it when ready if you want

[warped isle]

quite a munch

like
past 2 days

[limber venture]

You should make 100s it's fun

[warped isle]

roughly 12

[limber venture]

Make 99 in a month and a half

[warped isle]

AWGHHAA yes.

Yes

[slow gyro]

Im over 300 and I started on December

[warped isle]

now that im better educated on sprite making i think im gnna redo my parasect flygon fusion

both in design and sprite

hype .

[limber venture]

It looks cool but yea its a bit out of sprite-ness

Smaller and simpler is good for sprites

Well, you don't have to go simpler usually, but smaller is good

[warped isle]

a rlly cool spriter made this bettr

i am hype. it is time . thnak u.

[slow gyro]

I gave up on this one for the moment lol

Im making a Feraligatr/Armaldo then, also for Zero

[tall moss]

how many entries are we at rn 👀

[midnight pumice]

That was like an hour an a half ago

go announce next thing is #special-contest

[tall moss]

next award reveal when i get home then

i was busy morbin out

[ivory olive]

stop morbing

[simple edge]

i feel you, i started klink/onix and gave up lol

i made something else now

shuppet/yamask

[plucky arch]

i find sometimes you gotta try and get thru it, and then just wait a bit

like for example

[simple edge]

gears are my nemesis

[plucky arch]

half way thru i realized this wasnt gonna work, but i crammed it out and posted it to get feedback while i slept

[simple edge]

for klink and onix i am trying to draw 6-tooth gears at all sorts of different angles

[plucky arch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1092268811710910464/1092444750352756796/LC_8.png

then i came back and redid it the next day

[simple edge]

woah that is a huge improvement

[sterile pasture]

such a glow up ✨

[simple edge]

literally snotty boy glowup

[sterile pasture]

what a stinker

[plucky arch]

some sprites you get right first try and some you gotta take your time

[simple edge]

happy halloween

i made this instead

[plucky arch]

if you give up itll never get done
if you take a break itll get done eventually

[simple edge]

i think i need more practice before i do klink onix

i just started spriting yesterday so drawing gears from all sorts of perspectives on a 96x96 canvas is a bit too ambitious for me rn XD

[sterile pasture]

honestly I make 5-10 unused sketches to every one spite, so I think it's okay if you're just not feeling it sometimes

[simple edge]

what!!! thats so much

[sterile pasture]

it's good to work on the stuff you're excited for

[simple edge]

i dont even do a sketch

[sterile pasture]

I sketch so much! pages and pages of doodles. that's how I come up with my custom poses

I feel like it helps me a lot

doesn't take too long either

[tall moss]

i did, movie sucked it just made me wanna watch blade lmao

[ivory olive]

oh

[livid plinth]

I'm on my third sprite and it looks so ugly

Freehanding a break is awful

[slow gyro]

Without a doubt I can say that Morbius was definitely a movie of the year, if not from the decade

Actors acted, writers wrote, the special effects where animated

[cyan bramble]

I didn't participated in this contest yet

to busy with other stuff and at the same time I don't know what to make yet

[late sequoia]

Made a new spreadsheet that I can update just to see stats and such. It has to be manually updated to be up to date, but it at least gives a snapshot of stats and such. Total Sprites 778, most used sprite amount: 74 times (easy one to guess). Least use sprite amount, twice by multiple Pokemon.

[simple edge]

which one is the 74 times?

any chance i could see those stats...

[thin dove]

oh? spreadsheet?

[late sequoia]

Second hint for the most used, its one of the choice awards. And currently keeping to myself (maybe will share with Kiwi if they want) as there is the least used choice award that I did this to check. Also because I would want to make it more legible for people as its a bit messy

It made me realize how much I have forgotten about using spreadsheets for organizing data

[silver solar]

I’m a little behind on my spriting goals but i can make it up tomorrow if i make 6 sprites

Or if i make one or two more today

Eating food will probably help

[wide knoll]

yes eat good nice, tasty mmm

👍

[valid wolf]

y'all casually saying "six sprites" in one day
Me over here being proud of my 7ish hours to make 3

[simple edge]

i made 2 today LOL

that's even less

but 7 hours is a TON

you mustve worked rly hard

[cloud pulsar]

so fucking true

[simple edge]

im a perfectionist

[cloud pulsar]

those guys work in another level

[simple edge]

i will spend 1 hour erasing and placing back a single pixel

[cloud pulsar]

i do 2 sprites and i am tired already

[simple edge]

just placing and undoing and replacing and undoing

[valid wolf]

Spriting feels a lot more technical than artistic to me, which is why I feel good at it
My biggest problem is getting creative ideas

[silver solar]

Well it ends up depending on how hard what i want to do with a sprite is

Splicing is easier than scratch. And some things look pretty good with simple stuff

[pastel hollow]

for me its the opposite. I can get a finished artistic product without the technical skill required to make more traditional digital art forms 😛

[plucky arch]

itd be so funny for you to release this, and now everyone rushes to sprite the bottom 2, maybe even 10, and then in the end the one that was the bottom 20 is now the bottom and its like Deino

[late sequoia]

Hmm, that would cause some chaos...

[simple edge]

its going to be reverse reverse reverse psychology

people think that they should do the least sprited ones atm in order to get the award

leading to people thinking that they should do the most sprited ones because everyone will do the least sprited ones so much the most sprited ones will be the least

leading to people thinking everyone will do the most sprited ones leading them to do the least sprited ones even more

[pastel hollow]

leading to people making more and more sprites

[plucky arch]

itd just be pure chaos

i love chaos

[timid shore]

at this point i think some ppl will choose to ignore the choice'nts

[silver solar]

Amd that sort of mind game is why i dont care

Haven’t cared since the start

[late sequoia]

Well then, for the betterment of the game and to bring chaos for some. Here you go. Be warned, it's not super fancy looking and mainly raw data. Frequency of Data tab is where the usage numbers are

[silver solar]

Oh, ok yeah that big number is chinchou
