event-general

[late sequoia]

I set it to view only but idk if that let's you use the filter or not. If not you can always save a separate copy to manipulate however you want

[silver solar]

I may not care about trying for the thingy but i am interested in the data

[pastel hollow]

wait tyrogue is in second?

[silver solar]

For most or least used?

[timid shore]

you cant. at least on mobile

[valid wolf]

It's less about style and art and more about "does this LOOK like a squid with boxing gloves on?"

[pastel hollow]

most used

[silver solar]

Because most used, baby cup

Littlest cup

[pastel hollow]

im still shocked--tyrogue of all pokes

[timid shore]

tyrogue being a baby poke is something i forgot at times too no biggie

[silver solar]

Eh, some people like it

[late sequoia]

One of the most humanoid. Also there was a person who submitted a lot of fusions for it

[silver solar]

Personally fighting types aren’t my thing

[timid shore]

the palette sucks but arm bandages are fun to sprite

[plucky arch]

its cause it prolly had the most open spots out of the babies ngl

[timid shore]

i think i saw a bunch of magnemite bods in spriteworks already. this might not be accurate soon

[silver solar]

Time to stoke the flames

Magnemite amd spearow are at the lowest

[timid shore]

spearow being the least used tho

truly the most overlooked first evo

[silver solar]

Now that, honestly makes me wanna check my spreadsheet see if i can sneasel it

[plucky arch]

oh damn wait

im one of 2 Nidoran Ms

wild

[silver solar]

Yup imma sneasel that bird

I already had a sneasel plan for nido m

[pastel hollow]

i predicted spearow

tyrogue caught me totally off guard lmao

[silver solar]

I’m basically gonna make a sneasel harpy

[valid wolf]

chinchou- 74 bodies, 0 heads

[silver solar]

Heads arent valid for contest

[late sequoia]

Yeah they have all been completed already

[valid wolf]

Wow, that's surprising tbh

[silver solar]

Duskull heads are also not valid

[slow gyro]

You literally can’t make Chinchou heads xd

[wide knoll]

yeah you cant make chinchou heads because all of them were finished before the contest

[midnight pumice]

Bidoof bodies are another one that is not valid

[silver solar]

Really? Arent a lot of them basically no qa?

[thin dove]

ok, what's the deal with no QA sprites? are they fair game or no?

[silver solar]

No clue tbh

[plucky arch]

damn were all of em submitted before the contest was announced?

[silver solar]

They do tend to bw in the calculator thi

[midnight pumice]

No, but all of lc fusions were

[silver solar]

Ah

[plucky arch]

im more surprised that its 2 spearow heads

[timid shore]

the average amount of entries per spriter is 5.8

[silver solar]

I mean, I’m gonna do a spearow head

Because harpy go brrrr

[plucky arch]

also: now somebody go in and attach names to all the dex numbers so its easier

[silver solar]

Yeah, i had to go to bot commands

I’m not even doing a spearow head for the choicnt

I just wanna give the bird some attention

[plucky arch]

hero.georg, who makes 20 sprites a day, is an outlier and should not be counted

[late sequoia]

There is a separate sheet that has just the numbers and names of all the usable Pokémon, I just forgot to put in a names column on the frequency sheet. After a couple hours of data entry I just didn't think of it

[pastel hollow]

oh crap i need to do a chinchou body then

wanna get completionist without stepping on too many toes

[silver solar]

Yeah i only have one valid chinchou body

For my 3 pokemon o use

[plucky arch]

i knew it was gonna be smth weird in last

not Pineco or Lileep or Anorith but NidoranM

[silver solar]

Kiwi posted the vulpix/chinchou the day the contest was announced

[midnight pumice]

I’m planning on making 10 more pineco submissions

[silver solar]

And someone was already working on shinx line before the announcement so I considered that not valid because they were already doing it

[plucky arch]

none of yall better make a voltorb/chinchou

that one is sacred to me

[silver solar]

Dont work, I’m making a weasel cat

[plucky arch]

it bridges the gap between the Voltorb and Chinchou war

[plucky arch]

what if i submit the 5 spearows i just made and ruin the economy

[simple edge]

wait whaaaat

[plucky arch]

(i lied theyre all alts of the same fusion i just dont know which to use)

[silver solar]

Context, we were talking about chinchou

[simple edge]

ohhhh nvm then

haha

[silver solar]

Although its also true for duskull

[simple edge]

i was thrown off by the duskull line

why are duskull heads not valid

this is important because i am currently making a duskull body

[silver solar]

Yeah, they both have 100% completion before the contest started

[simple edge]

heads is when you take the characteristics of a mon and put it on the body mon's body right

[silver solar]

Therefore, there isnt any valid little cup fusions for their heads

[simple edge]

i am making a duskull body so im using duskull's body with another mons characteristics

did i get that right

[silver solar]

Yeah duskull bodies are fine as long as you checked

[simple edge]

i did

[silver solar]

Cool, should be all good then

[tall moss]

its sappy kiwi time

[plucky arch]

once we hit 1k sprites kiwi burns half of them

[crude cedar]

No wait, I actually know it.

[timid shore]

omg it's the lottery

[crude cedar]

It's an award that goes to whichever one would be the worst overall in-game

[plucky arch]

Ugliest Fusion

[grand tusk]

finally, a reward for my level, random chance

[timid shore]

if i make fusions with 7 in their filenames it means i definitely have more chances to win right (<--has no understanding of probabilty)

[cloud pulsar]

based on luck interesting

[timid shore]

okay yeah now i do wish mega lucario have won tho

[slow gyro]

I don’t

[plucky arch]

i wouldnt mind if it did

[timid shore]

says hero.georg

[simple edge]

so uh

we have 750+ entries

how the heck are we gonna vote for each individual one

[plucky arch]

oh basically

each person basically gets 2

[slow gyro]

First round is self elimination

[plucky arch]

yeah that

[slow gyro]

My Magmortar Espeon didn’t got any feedback

[plucky arch]

its still gonna be a lot of voting but not that much

still prolly less then a normal contest

[simple edge]

What is that?

Oh wait each person submits their two best sprites?

[olive echo]

Are we allowed to submit sprites we made before the contest?

[plucky arch]

basically all your own sprites go against eachother and whichever one wins moves on

[slow gyro]

Polls of max 20 sprites from the same person, each person will have one sprite in winners and one in losers

[silver solar]

Basically each person only gets like 2 entries because the first round is elimination of the rest of theirs

[silver solar]

No

[olive echo]

ok thx

[simple edge]

Ohhhhhhhhh

[plucky arch]

the people decide which is better

[simple edge]

That makes things a lot easier

[cloud pulsar]

rip my omanyte/larvesta

[plucky arch]

however just because a sprite got knocked out in self elim, that doesnt mean its not eligible for a choisnt

[silver solar]

I even asked if it was ok for me to revisit a fusion I abandoned back when i was doing my spriter app

[simple edge]

I think as it stands honedge/misdreavus and yamask/staryu are my two shots at the contest

[silver solar]

I think its still eligible for all the special contests

[simple edge]

Oh interesting

Voting will take a looong time haha

[silver solar]

Well the choice stuff isn’t our chociw

Its kiwis

[plucky arch]

oh wait youre new here that makes sense

[simple edge]

This is my first contest i joined literally yesterday

[plucky arch]

there was aaa

2 week gap in between Quarters and Semis in the last contest

[silver solar]

Kiwi will choose from all the eligible sprites for the littlest cup and the chinchou iirc

[simple edge]

Broooooo

Thats longgg

[silver solar]

Because those are kiwi choice, no vote needed

[plucky arch]

yeah you kinda just get used to it

the contest managers are doin their best and we love that for them and dont hold anything against them

[silver solar]

I keep forgetting budew is a baby

[simple edge]

Yea i completely understand and respect it if i was in their spit dealing with 750 entries id die LOL

[teal grove]

So, what

The choice award is just

Kiwi picks a random sprite?

[slow gyro]

Perhaps

[teal grove]

There’s no other way to say this, but this sucks ass

[dawn prairie]

spoken like someone really bad at the lottery smh

[teal grove]

That's just "make the most sprites" again because that way you increase your chances

[keen egret]

that's the point

[teal grove]

No it’s not

[dawn prairie]

isnt it by person
not by sprite

so anyone who makes at least 1 sprite has the same chance

[teal grove]

Contests are supposed to be for quality

But this is just slave labor for kiwi

[stray condor]

yea I assumed this too

[teal grove]

You're right

But it still gets more people to participate and add sprites

[keen egret]

well i think based on even just the original contest post, the point of this special contest was really to encourage more spriting for little mons which (perhaps prior to the influx of spriters) haven't received all that much attention compared to evos, legendaries, and other iconic mons

[teal grove]

And at this rate, kiwi will drown in her own hubris when the submission period ends and we have to wait another whole month before the contest ends

[keen egret]

the grand awards will ofc be for the absolute best so quality still nets you a lot more prize money if that's what you're after

[teal grove]

No, little cup has had 2 prequels. The difference with those is that this one specifically made it so you cant do fusions that had been done before

It's literally just filling the game out

[keen egret]

and... that's something to be desired, no?

[teal grove]

Not for a contest

There’s also the fact kiwi fucking blew up the entry limit

[pastel hollow]

next contest will be the growing pains contest where its just middle evos and we'll find out they're all completely ignored beforehand and now have discordant baby and final evo stages

[keen egret]

ok well take it up with kiwi ig 😅 i personally don't have any issue with the underlying mechanisms of the contest, but we can agree to disagree

[teal grove]

Oh kiwi knows

It's her money after all

[pastel hollow]

i personally love it

i love the influx of babby pokemon :>

[teal grove]

You shouldve been around for LC2

[fading lodge]

I've been basing a bunch of my contest sprites on existing sprites, so it's possible they could relate as they evolve.

[fading lodge]

How many sprites have y'all made? I'm at 12 (pretty much) and I am debating if more is worth it.

[simple edge]

ive made 5

just posted one actually haha

literally a minute ago

[slow gyro]

For the contest or in general?

[wide knoll]

im gonna have 1 singular pokemon team in it soon

all axew heads

[teal grove]

Around 20

[simple edge]

u wanna see

this is like when you encounter the rival before the 1st gym

[slow gyro]

Idk what but yes

[simple edge]

this

since u said ping you when i make a sprite

[slow gyro]

Hell yea

[simple edge]

its in spritework rn need some feedback on gas color

[silver solar]

No, thats a choicnt

But also, uh, idk what I’m at but i have 2.5 I haven’t put in spritework yet

[simple edge]

2.5?

[thin dove]

i think choicen't is nice because it gives someone who maybe can't make top tier sprites a chance to get a lil' prize anyway

i've finally been able to start making a custom base sprite! w̴̋́e̵͉̓e̸̐͗p̸̽̓

[silver solar]

I recolored shinx to match the head pokemon but because it’s 3am i stopped there

I also have a chinchou recolored to match the head, i’d say 2 recolored sprites counts as a .5

[simple edge]

oh i have 5.5 then haha i am working on golett/duskull

[slow gyro]

Well answering the question, I’ve made 43 for the contest, but haven’t uploaded one, and in general I think I’ve made like 350 if I remember correctly

[simple edge]

43????????????????????????

[silver solar]

I always recolor as my first step. Makes it safer to color pick from wherever i want

[slow gyro]

Im speed

[silver solar]

Yeah hero is the spiders georg of the contest

[slow gyro]

Im lighting McQueen

Kuchau

Do you think I could do 100 before the contest ends?

[silver solar]

I might be spriting relatively fast at 4 a day (so far i am on track for that goal), but also i have a process and I’m focusing on specific pokemon

[slow gyro]

I’d have 5 polls just for me then

[silver solar]

My target is around 80, so as long as i can stay on track you can probably hit 100

[slow gyro]

Some days I can’t do any, but then I do like 6 in a row

[thin dove]

i'd probably be doing a lot more if the bunearies weren't my power limiter

[silver solar]

Yeah, my goal os for the 4 to be an average

[thin dove]

but you've probably seen an earlier wave of my stuff

it is the beginning

[silver solar]

I might have to take a day off of spriting when I’m done with everything i have files set up for

Just to get more references together and more files set up

[simple edge]

in two days i have done 5.5

at 3 per day i will... get 60

OH

i just had a great idea that i forgot but now i remember

[silver solar]

Thats good! My goal is mostly just to do all the fusions i “claimed” in my spreadsheets

[slow gyro]

I’ve made 350 in 4 months

[silver solar]

But that adds up to around 80

[simple edge]

what the

[silver solar]

Excluding all the fusions i did that werent shinx, vulpix, or sneasel

[slow gyro]

Some were just alts

[silver solar]

Alts can be easy if they’re just simple ones

Like a shiny alt or a minor feature change

[slow gyro]

Im going to sleep by now

[silver solar]

Yeah I should too, its 3am

[slow gyro]

Talk to you tomorrow!

[silver solar]

And my back is sore

Sleep heals

[thin dove]

you guys go so ballistic on these sprites, good lord. i'm still trying to bang out a custom sprite or two and i swear i'm gonna cough up blood

[teal grove]

I genuinely dont believe you're 21

[simple edge]

for the contest

can u use an alt as an entry

[wind matrix]

says in the rules you can't

[simple edge]

i dont see it anywhere in the rules, am i missing something?

[simple edge]

what if you choose a pokemon that doesn't have a custom sprite and submit two versions of it

[wind matrix]

I dunno

[simple edge]

hmmm

[wind matrix]

That's something for @tall moss to answer

[simple edge]

i made three versions of yamask/koffing and i dont see anything in the rules about whether or not i can submit all three versions or only the base

im wondering what to put in my folder

[teal grove]

Considering only two entries go through to the actual polls, making alts just seems like a cheap way to increase your entry count

But now you are giving me ideas on how to beat hero

[simple edge]

im probably just going to go with the base

[cedar quest]

That's effectively the same as making an alt....which I'm pretty sure doesn't count for your total entry #.

Like a color change alt and completely new vers of the mon than the original you sprited would both be named #.#a in your folder

((plus when the goal of the contest is to up prevo fusion numbers...that just feels like a way to attempt to get around that rule))

[teal grove]

Gm GamR

[buoyant bough]

lol i've also had one of these on the go since the least used choicen't award was announced (i also manually update mine :'D)

and since you've released yours i guess there's no point in my keeping mine to myself either, so have at it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OLQGJ9O38G73bDwzGwDt3NmyuKXPNjBmsSjXka24KwE/edit?usp=sharing

(was last updated yesterday morning, will do another update soon)

i don't separate by heads/bodies but i do have a column that takes out alts, in case those don't count

[frail vortex]

ooh, there's more bellsprout than i thought

[buoyant bough]

yeah some of the counts defo surprise me haha

[late sequoia]

Nice, though I was planning on not updating the shared version so it just gave a small snapshot as to what ones were least used. This way it gave a small boost to Pokémon that could use more love but not completely ruin the choicen't award.

[buoyant bough]

tru tru

i'll make a copy to keep updating then ;>

[mint lava]

i dont believe theres that many deino fusions

[late sequoia]

Huh I swear that Nidoran M was used twice and not Magnemite, but double checking the data with fresh eyes shows that I made a mistake last night

Least used were Spearow/Magnemite

[teal grove]

Im gonna make a deino fusion today

[timid shore]

deino is fun to sprite for some reason. they wear little hats and have fun neck ruffles

same appeal as making trapinch fusions i think. funny little dudes

[plucky arch]

that actually makes more sense

[woeful spear]

Most OP Combo is prob

Shedinja/Umbreon

Wonder Guard:
No direct Damage except traps/ability

Only Weakness:
Fairy

and most of the trainers don't use fairy

[plucky arch]

yknow what, im gonna say this now: im going to attempt a Wailmer/Magnemite, if i die, youll know why

hoo boy

[buoyant bough]

big round become small round

[plucky arch]

and the eyes are 1 pixel in big form

[timid shore]

that just means it's a good candidate for derp

[thick jolt]

tbf i think itd be relatively fine?

make a big like, button eye type thing, just a black orb with highlights

or a one pixel eye and make it funny

[timid shore]

the smallest cyclops

[plucky arch]

if anyone is curious it is now in spritework

[slow gyro]

Day 2 doing homework and requests instead of the contest

How many sprites you have for the contest?

[plucky arch]

im at 35

[slow gyro]

You’re 7 behind me

[simple edge]

7 for me

[honest tulip]

surprised nobody did slugma/scyther yet, imagine that lava mon with like burning blades or smth, idk jus saying

[slow gyro]

Well now that you mention it…

It’s on my to do list

Behind a non stablished murkrow fusion

[teal grove]

if i have time left i might try and do it just to one-up hero

[slow gyro]

And a Pawniard Elekid

Might the best lava bug win then

I still have another request left though

Well, two, but idk how to make one

[plucky arch]

uhg i hate being half way thru a fusion and realizing its invalid

[slow gyro]

That’s sad men

[plush vale]

you prefer finishing first?

[plucky arch]

honestly yea

then i can just post it anyway

but half way thru it ruins your stride

[late sequoia]

I know that feel, even worse when it was one of your better ones.

[plucky arch]

what if i simply,, recolor it

and package it up as a different one

hmm ill consider it when i make a Redux

[teal grove]

26 entries in the drive

it's surprisingly entrancing to just stare at all the fusions next to each other

[plucky arch]

it really is

[simple edge]

ikr?

[teal grove]

it's nice to watch and spot similarities, shading styles, etc.

i usually never do head fusions of pre-gen 5 mons in this game

to do so many now is surprising

[simple edge]

pretty colors

[teal grove]

yes

lots of colors

[plucky arch]

its so fun until your eyes lock on to one of the Bad Ones

[teal grove]

i believe we call that a skill issue

[plucky arch]

like so many guys

then you see him

[simple edge]

is that castform shuppet?

[plucky arch]

its piplup
i plan on redoing it at some point honestly

[simple edge]

that spearow murkrow slaps btw

[late sequoia]

I've loved seeing everyone's different styles when I go through them when making the spreadsheets. Lots of great designs

[teal grove]

i personally made a bunch of funny sprites, cute sprites, cool sprites and unnerving sprites

trying to hit as many marks as possible

[simple edge]

for me mine are either cute ghost babies or terrible eldritch beings

[slow gyro]

Me too

I made a Chinchou that’s going for both the Chinchou award and the funny one

[slow gyro]

Ah yes, the two genders

I’ve just been doing mostly what my friends told me to lol

[pastel hollow]

its fun then browsing through there's a specific couple of these fusions where I'm instantly like oh ok I'm not winning this contest LOL

[slow gyro]

They choose two Pokemon and then everything starts coming together while spriting

[late sequoia]

Yeah I tried to vary my current five to hit some of the choicen'ts. Also have thought about putting my prank fusion from April Fools day into my folder as a jumpscare for people looking through them all

[teal grove]

i also like to notice which ones are specifically made for the derp choice award

[simple edge]

it sucks having an amazing idea and then the sprite already has a custo

custom

[slow gyro]

It happens a lot

[simple edge]

i wanted to do diglett/gastly

make the diglett into a tomb that says RIP and have gastly floating out of it

alas both combos are taken already

[pastel hollow]

diglett gastly would've been good for me too since i made a dugtrio/gengar

[slow gyro]

I wanted to give bidoof a hat and then make an alt that was perry the platypus

But there’s already every bidoof body I believe

And also already a perry reference

[simple edge]

i wanted to do litwick duskull too

skull candle

[pastel hollow]

i am one of the many people who thought 'litwick + drifloon = hot air balloon'

[slow gyro]

You could do cubone Litwik

[pastel hollow]

but i looked up drifblim on accident and saw that was taken lmao

[slow gyro]

And have a candle on top of the skull

[late sequoia]

You can always make them alts (granted if the og was made before the contest you couldn't submit it to the contest). Ended up what I did with my accidental dupe creation of Oddish/Horsea

[slow gyro]

A friend gave me the idea but i wasn’t interested enough cause I don’t like working wax, but maybe someone else could work it

[simple edge]

ikr

meowth drifloob

i also wanted to make murkrow/meowth into a black cat witch riding on a murkrow broom

[pastel hollow]

i have some dumb kaiju ideas i cant do lmao

[plucky arch]

i tried making a cubone but it didnt turn out super great

[teal grove]

probably my best idea this contest was obese doduo

[pastel hollow]

my main problem is that I make one cool sprite then im like alright time to finish this line or die trying instead of making more contest entries

[errant hazel]

You could probably do a floating lantern instead

[pastel hollow]

which is probably a good thing for the game

[teal grove]

so you're one of those people lol

[pastel hollow]

well that or make 50 trapinch fusions because there is a lot of gimmick potential

sand.....

[teal grove]

im one of the few people that saw all the trapinch bodies and said "ill do a head, thank you"

[late sequoia]

Trapinch heads are fun to use. Did that for the Aron line, originally was gonna due the full of each line but couldn't come up with good designs past Trapinch

[errant hazel]

Ooooo trapinch/pawniard sounds cool

[teal grove]

of course the pawniard guy says that

[errant hazel]

I am the pawniard guy now afterall

[plucky arch]

i made a trapinch body and then realized its unable

[teal grove]

on one hand, the teams nowadays are worryingly fast, on the other, it's fun how people are divided into "clans" now

[pastel hollow]

maybe i should do more trapinches today

im pooped on these kaijus anyways

[errant hazel]

He's a cool guy to be fair, and no one wants to join team pawniard

[teal grove]

i made a pawniard for the contest

magikarp/pawniard

[mint lava]

their building armys ig

[errant hazel]

Magikarp right?

[plucky arch]

i finally did a trapinch and i couldnt

[teal grove]

@midnight pumice get your filthy team bidoof flag off my message

[plucky arch]

hey you should join Team Voltorb

[midnight pumice]

[plucky arch]

and destroy Kiwi

[teal grove]

id reply with the klinklang flag but we're at 33%

[teal grove]

i do like the sound of that

[mint lava]

thats a decent amount of teams

[teal grove]

🧖‍♂️ members where you at

[midnight pumice]

We should get rid of team pyuku so it’s an even number of flags

[misty acorn]

Currently standing in a steamy room

[plucky arch]

lets go team noodles

[teal grove]

what about the ones that are actually finished

[mint lava]

stop laughing at the fact that i couldnt get just the flags >:(

[teal grove]

like chinchou

[plucky arch]

we could remove other emojis

like all the rubbing ones

[mint lava]

there >:(

[plucky arch]

are also all emojis i have never once seen used

[mint lava]

ive used

[misty acorn]

You missed a few spots

[mint lava]

i wanna make a team deino

[simple edge]

bruh

i just had two great ideas and they are both taken

[digital valley]

Wow, what teams are giant red boxes?

[simple edge]

bro

i just had a third great idea and its taken too

[errant hazel]

Just make Pawniard fusions, they're usually not taken

[teal grove]

just use me as an idea, im not taken

[simple edge]

it was going to be diglett/seel, a seel made out of snow and its tail is a shovel...

[errant hazel]

Wait actually so based

[simple edge]

i just had a 4th great idea and its taken XD

[mint lava]

damn

[simple edge]

pawniard/shuppet

rip

[mint lava]

can i suggest one

[simple edge]

pawniard head, shuppet body in the shape of a chess pawn

okay fire away

[mint lava]

i have like 1 idea but like

also havent checked if its taken alrdy

onix/tangela

[simple edge]

taken 😦

[teal grove]

im probably gonna give up on the contest once i finish spriting the sketches i have

[mint lava]

did someone dibs it or smth

[teal grove]

so ill just put the ideas here that i havent sketched yet

[slow gyro]

It’s okay if it’s not in the calc as far as I can remember

[teal grove]

zorua/duskull, fox spirit with one of those japanese kitsune masks

aron/gible, metal shark

budew/togepi, potted plant

[simple edge]

ill do that too

[teal grove]

murkrow/yamask, with a ghost hat and a plague mask

[slow gyro]

||Ive never sketched a sprite ||

[teal grove]

cottonee/magnemite, electrified cotton or something

and finally ponyta/anorith, being launched forward by flames coming out of its sides

[midnight wadi]

First 3 ideas sound amazing. Can’t wait to see them.

[honest tulip]

kinda feel like goldeen/wailmer has potential. Imagine the texturing on the fins to be like fabric

[teal grove]

there's only really two more sprites that i really want to make, so maybe ill discard the rest of the sketches too

[plucky arch]

oh dope i made a potted plant too, wasnt able to submit it thi

[honest tulip]

feel like more ppl shld do slugma head, u can go lava, go droopy, add flame, add like heated glowing effect etc

[thin dove]

Aron + Gible = bullett from d&d

No slugma head for me cuz it was already done :c

[plucky arch]

aron/rhyhorn

[teal grove]

Ok ive definitively decided against doing the last 4 sketches, im getting burned out and i want to do sprites i actually enjoy again

[plucky arch]

which did you try?

[teal grove]

Probably taking a small break from IF sprites

[thin dove]

Oh god. Thats a big question and i dont got battery on my cpu atm

[teal grove]

So ill put the last sketches im not gonna do in #1082525028677058672

[slow gyro]

I can’t get burn out cause I’ve been straight up ashes for years

[thin dove]

Latest i was working on was mantyke/totodile but i got a whole chart im slowly working through

[mint lava]

i wish i knew how to make teams

[slow gyro]

You just need to try hard enough

[thin dove]

Was also doing the drifloons, working on a pineco, houndour, gligar, maybe remoraid and sword guy? Magnemite to help a team

[mint lava]

i read the instructions like 3 time

s

[teal grove]

Yeah ok but i want to continue pouring my free time into other stuff

I still have a small game i want to finish

[mint lava]

still dont understand

[slow gyro]

Oh that’s neat

Good luck!

[teal grove]

Thanks

[slow gyro]

You mean making a Pokemon team? Or am I misunderstanding something?

[mint lava]

ye

the chats

charts

[slow gyro]

Oohhh

Got ya

Yea, idk either

[mint lava]

like do i add sprites that my team didnt make?

[slow gyro]

In theory I’m the captain of team Dusclops

But it’s literally just me

[slow gyro]

Yes

[mint lava]

can i join when i learn sprites?

[slow gyro]

I guess

[mint lava]

[late sequoia]

I never realized how weird Houndour's eyes were pixel wise till trying to use its head for a fusion.

[mint lava]

show

[plucky arch]

yeah you never notice things like that

for example, look at Charmelon's eyes

[mint lava]

hm?

[late sequoia]

Tell me where does eye end and skull cap thing begin?

[thin dove]

I will make the totodile line 4 u

[slow gyro]

GOD GOD GOD GOD

[mint lava]

prob something like this

[slow gyro]

IVE JUST GOT AN IDEA

[thin dove]

Yea

[slow gyro]

IM ABOUT TO SKETCH SOMETHING

[thick jolt]

eyes end at thr two gray pixels

or

hm

[thin dove]

Maybe this will be the impetus to draw physically. Ideas are forming...

[thin dove]

Pup

[plucky arch]

then show it to me so i can sprite it

[late sequoia]

lol yeah I know, just in the scaled up version of the pixel art you can easily lose yourself in trying to figure out how to take what's there and translate it onto something else.

[slow gyro]

I just need

A sword slash action pose

The right sword slash action pose

[slow gyro]

Okay so I think I won’t do a sketch lol

I just found the right tcg card

[livid stratus]

Haven't made a sprite in days

I'm slacking

[slow gyro]

Here’s a hint

[simple edge]

scyther honedge

[slow gyro]

That would also been cool, but I’m about to use all my special effects abilities on this

[late sequoia]

oooh, can't wait to see that one. That looks like a fun challenge

[simple edge]

go for it dude now im super hype

[slow gyro]

This would make it super obvious but god I’m exited

[misty acorn]

I should really make at least one entry...

[slow gyro]

You must

[misty acorn]

But I really dont feel like it

[near horizon]

I guess it's a fire type fused with scyther, probably the small lava slug ?

[slow gyro]

Hell yea

Lava blades go brrrr

[near horizon]

I'm more into derpy sprites, but i would love to do good special effects x)

(by derpy I mean like #1092880628535529482)

[simple edge]

i love doing special effects

almost every sprite ive made has it

ive only made one without any special effects

[near horizon]

Does bubbles and sand count?

[slow gyro]

Yep

Im more into fire, lava and bright things

[near horizon]

So i have only one sprite without special effects

[silver solar]

I only add effects when it feels right

[near horizon]

Because otherwise there's always either bubbles, sand or Koffing's smoke

[slow gyro]

Not so long ago I made a controversial sprite of Krookodile Torterra

Cause I used the sand effect from Hipowdon

And it ended up looking a bit too much like it

But the body structure was way too similar to Torterra’s, and the sprite itself looked exactly like the idea I had

Let me search for it

Here it is

[near horizon]

Oh yeah it looks great but it can easily be misinterpreted as a hipowdown

[tall moss]

~~it became an alt sorry ~~

[pastel hollow]

'who the hell is steve jobs'
scyther:

[slow gyro]

Noooooooo

All that hard work for nothing

[misty acorn]

Should be possible to make a more torterra-shaped version out of this... maybe

[near horizon]

Maybe less sand falling and more torterra close legs would help

[slow gyro]

Im not touching that thing again

Blaq won

If someone wants to edit it to make it main, feel free to

Just ping me to see what you make

[late sequoia]

Yeah I need to try more special effects. I've only done sand so far for my Trapinch/Magikarp and Trapinch/Aron line sprites

[thin dove]

my computer royally fucked up all of my tabs, can someone remind me where the hell the sprite checker is again

(google doc sprite checker)

[late sequoia]

Pinned in #sprite-charts

[thin dove]

thanks mate

[slow gyro]

Lava

The image looks desaturated on both my phone and iPad lol

[simple edge]

nice clouds heck yeah

[slow gyro]

[late sequoia]

Mhmm, great shaping of the slashes/lava falls

[errant hazel]

Unironically I thought it was larvesta at first

[late sequoia]

hmm, think I'm gonna try playing around with special effects more. They can add some fun character to sprites.

Though I now realize the fusion I'm testing it on is not a fire type in this form

[fading lodge]

I need a new sprite idea. Anyone got an evo with an eligible prevo they'd want made in a similar style?

[fading lodge]

Unimportant. It can still learn ember and other fire type moves.

[plucky arch]

only one i can think of rn is Yamask/Pikachu, but thats cause i just did stuff with it

[late sequoia]

Fair point

[plucky arch]

which would end up being yamask/pichu

[fading lodge]

Someone already did Yamask/Pichu in a similar style, so maybe I'll do Yamask/Pichu? It's a thought I'll consider.

*Pichu/Yamask.

[late sequoia]

I will say looking for references for things breathing fire, I was surprised at some missing combos from certain fire types.

[torn dawn]

Pawniard/Espeon and Bisharp/Espeon? 👀

[fading lodge]

Eevee/Pawniard is eligible for the contest, but not Espeon/Pawniard. But, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I'll take requests to do prevos in style of sprites people have made. Maybe. I'll have to decide after the contest.

[torn dawn]

Ahh

Then let me rethink

Grimer/Espeon

[fading lodge]

Espeon isn't eligible to be used as fusion material for this contest.

[torn dawn]

Ah frick

I forgor

And I wasn’t at all influenced by the fact that I’m in Team espeon

If you are ever feeling like doing one of those sprites I’d be more than happy!!

[fading lodge]

Not going to lie, invading team Pungo and making non-Pungo Eevees is tempting...

I think After I finish my 42 Mews and 42 Drifloons after the contest, I'll do random prevo requests. If it still sounds interesting.

[errant hazel]

Did someone say Pawniard

[plucky arch]

would Evos also count?

[fading lodge]

I'd do Evos too, if you don't mind that I probably won't go too crazy with custom.

[torn dawn]

Hello dear @errant hazel can I interest you in a Pawniard/Espeon fusion?

not at all correlated to my team alliance

There are many custom bases to choose from!

[errant hazel]

I had plans for eeveelutions heads and Pawniard bodies, not the other way around, though I could give that one a shot

[torn dawn]

I would love that!!!

[slow gyro]

@torn dawn bestie if you have any other espeon you’d like me to sprite, fell free to request it, it was fun working on the cute magmortar

[fading lodge]

Travo, worst that happens is you make a sprite you aren't thrilled with but passes for body count. No real loss to you at all.

[torn dawn]

On my way to request something

[errant hazel]

True

[slow gyro]

It might take some time though, as I’m on vacations, with work, homework and the contest

[fading lodge]

Plus, it can be a fun break at times doing requests. Which is why I occassionally take requests. My current requestor is Kiwi, with contest sproots.

[torn dawn]

Oh please don’t feel pressured (as always)! Your sprites are always so high quality I appreciate everything I can get lol

Also please do enjoy your holidays!! 🥳

[simple edge]

wait you work?

how is that possible

how can you work and make like 10 sprites a day that just doesnt make sense

[fading lodge]

Skill

[late sequoia]

and experience

[slow gyro]

Work, study, go to the gym, sprite, hang out with friends and sleep 8 hours

The only thing I can’t do is have a mistake, if anything goes wrong, my hole system crumbles

[torn dawn]

No pressure but 😅

That sounds incredible hard to keep up

So probs to you!!

[slow gyro]

I know my limits, I have a bit of extra time that fluctuates between activities depending on where do I need it

And I’m capable of pause anything if needed

[simple edge]

dont overwork yourself still

[slow gyro]

I promise I’ll try not to

[silver solar]

Same here

[cloud pulsar]

👈 hero basically

[torn dawn]

Don’t leak pics of him pls

[cloud pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

hero irl

[torn dawn]

Stop 👏 the 👏 leaks

[slow gyro]

XD

Yea, you got me

That’s literally me

[cloud pulsar]

i knew it!

[slow gyro]

[plucky arch]

i never thought that a Mime Jr. fusion would be one of my favs

[late sequoia]

Ok todays sprite done and already have my next idea

[silver solar]

I was originally gonna try to get more than my daily 4 done today but, life said nah, focus dead

[slow gyro]

Hey pal, how many sprites you’ve got for the contest?

[plucky arch]

what happens if i tell you

[slow gyro]

I’ll start sprinting faster

[plucky arch]

sp,spri,,inting??

[slow gyro]

Spriting*

The corrector

[errant hazel]

Hero is rapidly approaching

[slow gyro]

sprints faster

[plucky arch]

"how many sprites do you have?"
"oh uhh 12"
"thankfully that corresponds to how many meters i am from your location, and that number is rapidly decreasing"

i wont tell you how many i have, but i will say ive made 3 that have been ineligible

and i just finished another one

(thankfully any derpiness in a sprite can be justified by the choise award)

[thin dove]

ahahaha, i've started to make another base!

[plucky arch]

im going to try to do a Tangela fusion

[thin dove]

finally! Finally! ì̴͊ ̸̐̃b̶̎̎r̴̀́ẻ̶͗a̸͋̐t̷̂̎h̸͌̈́ẻ̶͂

[plucky arch]

after that is prolly, a beldum

im already starting to regret this

[silver solar]

We might need a tangela contestnfor that complex little bugger to get done

[thin dove]

look i...want to do more tangles but i don't ...want...to do more tangles right now. i will die if i try custom spriting a lot of those so far, i'm not anywhere near the level of the likes of a godlike spriter

beldum though. beldum i'm doing

[silver solar]

I dont blame anyone for avoiding tangela

[slow gyro]

I think I overworked the lava and now I’m struggling with the body

Overly complicated lava vs simpler body

Wtf it changes the colors

[plucky arch]

spend like 4 more hours on this itll be ok

[slow gyro]

I think I’ll have it in like halve an hour if I don’t get interrupted

[glossy wagon]

DISTRACTION PING

[thin dove]

I have made another base! and started on a third

whoopee!

finishing up some buns...

[finite sonnet]

I think it’s beautiful. I’m going to use it

[simple edge]

yo i wanna see

[thin dove]

...i'm not sure if i'm allowed to show off half-stuff in here? but i'll be making a thread soon hopefully

[slow gyro]

Well I did

A lot

[thin dove]

i put it in spritework. the newest totodile one is mine.

[slow gyro]

I can’t believe I’m doing this again

Ima work grimer

[vale rune]

Is there a new contest up?

[pastel hollow]

There's a little cup contest active

[vale rune]

Oh shoot, is there a channel I can see that it's active?

Didn't notice it in sprite contest

[pastel hollow]

#special-contest

[vale rune]

Oops, must of just missed it. Thanks

[pastel hollow]

theres two threads for contests, its a little confusing lol

[thin dove]

holy mother of feedback

this is a shot of adrenaline and also terrifying at the same time
i feel happy and also not even remotely good enough simultaneously

[slow gyro]

The feedback giver roll is so fun

You trigger people that accepted to be triggered

But then they come triggering your sprite

It’s like a trigger cicle

[simple edge]

what for?

the new role?

[thin dove]

yeah

[near horizon]

?

[thin dove]

i love the feedback. i'd also love being a better spriter eventually

i'd say "the impostor syndrome hits hard" but i don't think i'm at the level impostor syndrome even starts

[simple edge]

hard relate

that's literally impostorception, your impostor syndrome is so bad you have it for impostor syndrome itself

[thin dove]

can't tell if some of my sprites are ready to go into the contest or not. sprite questions was asleep i guess, didn't get any reaction one way or the other

[fading lodge]

I just made a sprite because I found a custom base I forgot I made, then it ended up near another base sprite, and I decided that they would make a sprite together.

[teal grove]

They made the feedback giver role specifically because spritework questions seemed dead, ig

[thin dove]

i did hear some people worried that the increased amount of sprites in spritework meant that nobody was really getting feedback even when they put it in questions and asked multiple times

[fading lodge]

Sometimes no feedback means no changes needed, but your gut should tell you when you need extra feedback.

[pastel hollow]

,more sprites in spritework but theres also more people here to give feedback

[teal grove]

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[fading lodge]

Husk is right. More spriters definitely means more people to give feedback.

Sadly, I'm betting most people who are on here either don't have the time to give feedback to everyone or they don't feel qualified to give feedback. I know I'm one of those people.

[wide knoll]

usually i only give feedback if its obviously wrong or if its a white name

like using too few black outlines or only black outlines

incorrect pokemon direction, incorrect lighting direction, etc.

the more technical aspects like actual design i usually keep my hands out of

[last inlet]

I just remembered that I have my 1 (and probably only) contest entry to finish XD

[surreal folio]

how do i even submit a sprite?

[timid shore]

for the contest? go to the google drive linked in the #special-contest post and make a folder with your full discord username, then upload your sprite in it

theres an example#1234 folder that shows you how things are formatted

[simple edge]

make sure to post it in spritework first

[gray igloo]

Man I had such a cute idea for a meowth/munchlax sprite. Seeing as meowth/snorlax is totoro. But Seeing the bag i think it could work better as munchlax/delibird, but delibird isn't a baby

[sharp estuary]

Question, there's the rule about the fusions having to be of a combo that doesn't have a custom yet in IF. Does that apply to any combos added in the March sprite pack?

[thick harness]

Any sprites that existed before the contest went live, which means that if a sprite got added in this pack you want to do you'll have to search in the gallery to check when it was uploaded

The contest went live on the 26th so any sprite before that (or on that day depending on timezones) isn't allowed I believe

[silver solar]

Amd thats why i made my spreadsheets before the pack

[buoyant bough]

just popping in to say we're at 860 entries!

[mint lava]

what is that fusion anyways?

[silver solar]

Amd sometimes the feedback you get is someone pointing out the stupid ahit your phone does instead of looking at the thread and seeing the images are fine there

I know this is gonna post crunchy and eww. But thats why i upload the sprites to the thread and the gallery from my steam deck

Tbh the image quality from my iphone is stupidly variable

Like, sometimes it even posts images with the transparency preserved!

[digital valley]

Oh yeah, my phone does the same. Half the time transparency is fine, but other half the time all my images are blasted with white bg

I noticed with Discord at least, smaller images are a guarantee to have the white bg that was never there to begin with, while larger images are left fine

Large image vs small image from my phone

oh sure this time say I’m a liar

Literally JUST did this in private server and it worked without a white bg

Idk, it’s stupid

[teal grove]

Crosslegs

[crude cedar]

guys but how are they gonna decide the winners for the little cup? there are tons of sprites submitted

[thick jolt]

it says in the thing

2 sprites from each user go through, one goes to like a winners thing i think?

[crude cedar]

and who decides the 2 sprites per user_

[thick jolt]

the community

[crude cedar]

oh it is all written you are right

[slow gyro]

I am, case closed

[crude cedar]

i am submitting anything i procude lol, only the voting for my two sprites will last years

[slow gyro]

||I already uploaded 43 ||

[crude cedar]

man ahahah I thought that my 30 were a lot

[slow gyro]

I think I’m the one that have more sprites

Unless @plucky arch already did more than me

[crude cedar]

nope 38 lol

[teal grove]

im stopping at 28

[slow gyro]

It’s coming right behind me!

I need to hurry

[frail vortex]

i have…10, 4 more in spritework tho

[crude cedar]

i will start a new team with a first stage so I will submit 42 more sprites ç_ç

all my entries are trapinch and swinub lol

[teal grove]

yall battling for that 15 dollar award through quantity while ill definitely get the 1st place 50 dollar award

[crude cedar]

is there a money prize for the little cup?

[teal grove]

...

are you fucking serious

[crude cedar]

yup lol

[frail vortex]

we're just in it for the love of the game

[crude cedar]

i do it because i am addictes to pixelmons

[teal grove]

so what you were wasting your free time making a ton of sprites for one contest because of a non-existent award

[crude cedar]

i am doing for the completionist roles

[frail vortex]

just having fun

[teal grove]

you were doing all this for the choice award for most entries, right?

right?

[crude cedar]

i have 42 venonat 42 swinub and almost 42 trapinch. I like doing completionist stuff

like in games

[teal grove]

well that makes sense

[slow gyro]

Ima win everything

[teal grove]

all of those qualify for the contest so at least you have another motivation

[teal grove]

[slow gyro]

There’s no goofier fusion than my Shieldon Zubat

It needs help

[teal grove]

i raise you my doduo/wailmer

it needs cardio

[slow gyro]

LMAO

Wailmer works super good for the goofy

He ate it’s own light

[teal grove]

ive got quite a few goofy ones

[crude cedar]

my psyduck couldn't merge properly poor boy

[crude cedar]

he panicked

[slow gyro]

Idr if I made another goofy one

No, i don’t think so

Ima start doing goofy ones

[teal grove]

these are my remaining goofs

[slow gyro]

LOL

[naive whale]

Hi i have a question - do the contest winners get added to the game automatically?

[slow gyro]

Everting in the gallery gets added to the game

[crude cedar]

you mean even if you are not a spriter?

[teal grove]

it only gets added to the game if it's in the gallery

[naive whale]

i played this game like 4 years ago - has it been improved a lot since then? I played all the way to "the end" do you think it is worth a new playthrough?

[teal grove]

take the milotic/gardevoir rush made, for example. Never posted it outside of the contest

[slow gyro]

Hell yea

A lot have changed

[teal grove]

oh definitely, quite a few things have changed and the latest sprite pack is amazing

[slow gyro]

And there’s a lot of new mons

[crude cedar]

i never played the game idk

[teal grove]

(mainly because it includes my klinklangs now )

[graceful plank]

yeah most spriters don't play the game lol

[crude cedar]

lol

[graceful plank]

because there are always more sprites to add

[slow gyro]

I played the game like 10 times lol

[crude cedar]

A REAL HERO

[slow gyro]

And then decided to make a team using my own sprites

And now I don’t have time to play cause I’m spriting

[crude cedar]

but maybe it is hard finidng the pokemon u used or not?

[teal grove]

i tried playing the game once

[graceful plank]

I mostly make first and mid stages

final stages are too intimidating hehe

[slow gyro]

At first I planed a team that would be easy to catch in modern mode

[teal grove]

lost interest due to uni taking over my life and also not knowing where to go and accidentally ending up at Koga's place wayyy too underleveled

[slow gyro]

But now I have like, a lot to chose from

[late sequoia]

I've played through the game twice, its pretty fun. Also almost have a living dex made (totally wasn't thinking of trying to complete the full dex or anything)

[naive whale]

@late sequoia is it possible to get a full dex?

[slow gyro]

Only if you try hard enough

[late sequoia]

Technically yes, but basically you need to have a living dex of all normal pokemon, plus have gotten an extra of each Pokemon to fuse with itself.

[graceful plank]

people here have caught all 420 base mons

but the entire dex, impossible

[teal grove]

considering how the game can only handle that many sprites existing, your game would probably implode once you had over 30k mons in the boxes

how about you try with every mon that currently has a sprite first

[late sequoia]

Oh yeah you can't build a full living dex, not enough box space. I meant just compelting the dex

So have all the base pokemon as a living dex, then fuse them down the line with each other using the infinite splicer.

I don't even think there is enough boxes to do two living dexes of just the base Pokemon.

[plucky arch]

huh what why was i pung

[slow gyro]

To let you know that you lost your chance of catching me up

Today’s my last workday this week

I have two more sprites to do and then I’ll go back to spriting for the contest

(Once I finish my homework of course)

[plucky arch]

oh i already knew i did, im doing testing for the next 2 days

[slow gyro]

Testing?

[plucky arch]

yea just school stuff, basically almost all my time is going to be occupied

[slow gyro]

Oh

Well

Good luck with that

[crude cedar]

I should decide if i want to keep my job i should stop spriting.... but i could live with the prizes from the contests

[slow gyro]

(Ima miss this rivalry )

[crude cedar]

i can't help, 12 sprites are too many lol

[plucky arch]

(tehehe now that his guard's down i can post my 10 Murkrow/Spearow alts)

[crude cedar]

i could start doing pungo sprites tho i would reach both of you in no time

[teal grove]

alts dont count towards the award btw

[crude cedar]

are you sure_

[teal grove]

dunno if you know but it has been confirmed that it needs to be specifically different fusions

[slow gyro]

Glad I don’t have any alt

[crude cedar]

for lil cups to_

[slow gyro]

Yep, kiwi said

[teal grove]

yep

[crude cedar]

ooof help me decide between evil and good shuppet yamask please

[teal grove]

id prefer if you kept your job

[plucky arch]

im sure they count if theyre like, completely different

[slow gyro]

You just want an easy win don’t you?

[plucky arch]

like if you made 2 different ones from scratch

but if its "blue claws vs red claws" it prolly doesnt

[slow gyro]

If you do two fusions of the same pair, it counts, if you just make an alt of a fusion you already made, it doesn’t

[teal grove]

dont need quantity if i have quality

[plucky arch]

yea thats what i mean

[crude cedar]

which one

[slow gyro]

I have both

[plucky arch]

like Rush's Togekiss/Honedge for example

[teal grove]

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

/s

[timid shore]

the arms are funnier for the 2nd one lol

[plucky arch]

man made 2 completely different versions

[crude cedar]

I made evil and good lol

you are all bad boys I see

[timid shore]

not a boy

[crude cedar]

bad bgiroyls

[timid shore]

nvm just stick to boy

[crude cedar]

you are all bad anyway

[plucky arch]

im a bad bgiroyl, thats right

[crude cedar]

or you are voting for the ugly one in order to make me lose

[timid shore]

no i legit think it looks better

[plucky arch]

yea same ^

[slow gyro]

Ima a good

[timid shore]

but now that you put it out here...

[slow gyro]

Like, in general

[teal grove]

god can i just say

drifloon's palette is fucking beautiful

[timid shore]

pick the first one 👼

[slow gyro]

I just look like a bad

Also in general

[plucky arch]

go on?

[crude cedar]

that's it

[teal grove]

the purple just looks so incredibly nice

[plucky arch]

anyway yeah im competitive but not to the point where im trying to sabotage

[teal grove]

it has this hue shift in its shades and it makes it look so good

[slow gyro]

I don’t want an easy win

[teal grove]

so vibrant

[slow gyro]

Ima beat you all by pure skill

[timid shore]

making fusions really does make me appreciate the palettes of some pokemon more yeah

[slow gyro]

So I want you all to do your best

[crude cedar]

that's probable

[teal grove]

sounds like a you problem

[thick harness]

You sound like the selfless protagonist of some cheesy anime (In a good way)

[crude cedar]

i am curious about the self elimination to see which of my sprites is the cutest

[slow gyro]

I am

[timid shore]

oh my gosh same

[crude cedar]

i laughed irl

[slow gyro]

Well, someone had to be the prota

[thick harness]

Same; I know which of my sprites I think is the best but I have a feeling that won't be picked lol

[timid shore]

like, i dont think i had diversified my entries much but like, some are definitely cuter/cooler/derpier than the others

[grand tusk]

can always be biased on your own art

[timid shore]

so i dont know how the vote will sway

[crude cedar]

lol all the time... i got a lot of good feedback on sprites i don't like and when i post the one i love... silence

[grand tusk]

who knows what the masses with pick

[slow gyro]

I know which of my sprites isn’t gonna win, but idk which is

[slow gyro]

Same

[grand tusk]

personally, i'm under the opinion joltik is the meta atm. People saw they couldn't do a kaiju meta and are going for the smol meta instead

[thick harness]

Well now we have a role to make sure we get some feedback

[timid shore]

nah im waiting till the bot command is set up so i wont get morbed

[slow gyro]

Guilty

[crude cedar]

i just do a big eye of the size of the sprite with some shine tears in it. no kaiju in this way

[teal grove]

eh

[timid shore]

joltik getting more sprite is always good tho

[teal grove]

[slow gyro]

[teal grove]

it's my only onix

[timid shore]

y'all have fun

[crude cedar]

🔹 done

[slow gyro]

I also made just one lol

[thick harness]

Have not made an onix yet and am dreading it lol

[crude cedar]

how many sprites have you got in total?

[teal grove]

poor thing

[thick harness]

They are very cool but seem very difficult to make

[timid shore]

the jaw looks really fun to do tho

[crude cedar]

it is alredy perfect

[teal grove]

it's susrprisingly easy

[slow gyro]

Yes they are

Also Grimer

But I made that one in like 15 minutes

[thick harness]

Wow what similar opinions

[errant hazel]

I also only have one onix, but they just turn out cool

[grand tusk]

Onix is there for the kaiju pick that's legal

[slow gyro]

It’s just that, if your using the rocks, I’d say it gets hard, as you’ll use a lot of shadows

[teal grove]

meanwhile i spent a few hours on mine

[timid shore]

i remember seeing that in the gallery! v cool

[grand tusk]

I imagine so, that fuzz takes effort to make

[errant hazel]

unironically true

[slow gyro]

I’ll start doing onixes then

[teal grove]

it was the second time i sprited fur like that so, kinda

[slow gyro]

I love giant monsters

[grand tusk]

giant monsters are so cool

need proof?

dinosaurs

case closed

[slow gyro]

@teal grove what about if after the contest we do a collab?

I love doing Fire and special effects and you’re a god doing textures

[teal grove]

a collab outside of the contest, since collabs arent allowed? sure

[teal grove]

i see myself more as a base guy

[grand tusk]

Proves that small monsters are also cool

but how often do you hear about the compey vs. a trex

[teal grove]

anyway here's what im talking about

[slow gyro]

I see myself as the protagonist lol

[timid shore]

that's a sentret yes?

[slow gyro]

Hilarious

[grand tusk]

I see myself more as a based guy 😎

[teal grove]

yes

#1093206039916204103 if you want to give feedback

but the colors just look so nicely

[slow gyro]

Fuck I have to concentrate on my hw

[timid shore]

the faster you finish your work the sooner you can sprite

[slow gyro]

The thing is, I’m not finishing this homework anytime soon

They gave me two months to do the three

[timid shore]

remember to take breaks between each session

[slow gyro]

But I’ve been so busy with other homework, I haven’t started any

And I got least than a month

My school organization sucks ass

Im taking courses 3 and 4 of 3D animation at the same time cause they weren’t able to open the third one on time

And I’m taking both clases online

[plucky arch]

balion

[slow gyro]

While the clases that needed investigation, are irl

Like, who decided that?

[silver solar]

Seriously it’s frustrating. Especially since i hate typing on my deck because my bluetooth keyboard refuses to connect (its old, that may be why). Thats why last time i uploaded to the gallery i only included the numbers and then i edited in the rest of the info later

Tbh i only included text at all because i dont think you can edit in text if you upload an image without any

[tall moss]

thst fucks with out bot systems

[errant hazel]

"I actively commit sabotage and vandalization"

[sharp estuary]

Thank you 🙂

[silver solar]

Editing in general or just not including the pokemon/pokemon (#.#)?

[teal grove]

editing

and not including that

so both

[thick harness]

I never realised that; so if we make a mistake labelling the pokémon (not filename) when uploading to the gallery we're better off just deleting and reuploading than editing?

[teal grove]

better off? it's pretty much a must

the bot doesnt detect edits

[silver solar]

Ok so does that mean if I originally post pokemon/pokemon (#.#) then edit in stuff like gold/silver color alt its ok?

[teal grove]

so, let's do a final entry count for me

29 entries,
9 gen 1 heads, 7 gen 2 heads, 1 gen 3 head, 2 gen 4 heads, 9 gen 5 heads, 1 gen 6 head

so at least 1 of each generation in the contest

[near horizon]

New sprite added to the contest (and it have an alt) :)

[tall moss]

at least having the name is a good start, i have yag set up to detect the name/name bit

if its mispelled thats fine

we can still find the the thread

even if it was like "deliberd/gravveller" we can use our brain cells to deduce that the sprite indeed was posted to the gallery

[grand tusk]

using our brain cells? Pass.

[teal grove]

i did do that for like, 3 days

but im stopping now

i'm on a two week easter break

doesnt mean i dont have homework, but for once i do have free time

[fading lodge]

Made a sprite, only to discover it was made 8 days before the contest...

[near horizon]

How many entry are we before reaching the 1000?

[glossy wagon]

907/1000
