event-general

[gray igloo]

nice

[livid stratus]

I'm probably done as far as contest sprites go

Would rather try something larger and a little more complicated and try to improve my skills more

[tall moss]

which mon would be so unlikable no one would want to take it off of your hands were you to have one you wanted to get rid off

[livid stratus]

Im happy with what I've made, there's one or two ones that aren't very good at all but there's also one or two that have a chance of moving on through the bracket a bit

Took a request for kyogre/Pidgeot that I'm excited to give a go

[wide knoll]

my friend said hot, art, and green

for the themes

good for him

[slow gyro]

Fossil theme would be cool, idr what I put on there but I should have put that

[gusty frost]

It would be cool for a contest be about fusions if the 3-5 pokemons with the least amont of sprites

[tall moss]

weve done that before

[cloud pulsar]

do it again

[tall moss]

elect me as contest manager and i will

[limber venture]

No make me contest manager

[glossy wagon]

There's a lot of other contest ideas that probably will happen first depending on active dev stuff (but we'll do that too )

[thick jolt]

make me contest manager

please dont i hate responsibility

[tall moss]

i need more projects and more work

[slow gyro]

Soooo

How many sprites we have in the contest?

Cause I uploaded 9 more like an hour ago

[grim ether]

so mean to kiwi........ KFJGKFGJKFD

[fading lodge]

Should I add my alt to the contest? I don't know I want to add alts to my contest entries, but I also want to boost entry numbers... Kinda wish Kiwi would weigh in (don't want to annoy her with pings).

Also, I submitted 3 more ideas on contest awards. And, to be fair, two of them I would not qualify for (because I designed them that way).

[plucky arch]

ladies, ladies

simple solution

make ME contest manager

[fading lodge]

I think TeeOhEss is cancelled because ladies is an offensive term I think. I dunno, I'm not hip on the cool things.

I'm probably cancelled for saying "hip on the cool things."

BTW, like 50 more sprites until we hit 1500.

[ivory olive]

as someone currently struggling with their gender identity, I don't mind it and he has my vote

[fading lodge]

Well, I think that settles that debate. Though contest manager is still contested.

I will say, as someone who has struggled to find inspiration, I'm still managing to make new sprites. I'm not sure how.

Right now, I'm looking at my chart and thinking to myself "What makes Zorua Zorua?"

[pastel hollow]

i dont struggle with my gender identity

my gender identity struggles with me

[slow gyro]

You shouldn’t be calling people “Ladies”

The right way to say it is

Bitches and bros and non binary hoes

[fading lodge]

I keep running out of ideas, then making new sprites somehow.

[slow gyro]

Lol

[fading lodge]

That... took a turn through left field for me. Did not see that coming.

[pastel hollow]

lasses lads laxatives larries lozenges and l'guhael

[slow gyro]

Idk what you’re saying but I’m pretty sure that a lie

[fading lodge]

Anyways, I'm still wondering where the magic is. Why do I keep making sprites?

Also, I have given up on "what is Zorua" and have moved on to "How to un-Zorua".

[livid stratus]

hero did u get my dm?

[plucky arch]

"ladies" is a gendered term
"ladies, ladies" is not
at least how i use it

[slow gyro]

Haven’t checked them! Give me a moment

[fading lodge]

I think the important thing is people are free to misinterpret you as much as they want. It's a free world or something.

[plucky arch]

i cant believed ive been cancelled on twitter.com
and its not even for my extremely vocal love of balls

[fading lodge]

I think I'm too old to be cancelled. Or at least, too old to know if I have been.

[ivory olive]

Aren't you like 28

[fading lodge]

I will accept that age.

Anyways, I have an old soul. I grew up around "old people", so my perception of the world is skewed as I view old as like "80-90+ years", not 30 years ago or things like that. I don't keep up on the hip things anyways.

[ivory olive]

Please seek therapy

[fading lodge]

I do. We've worked through a lot of things. Maybe I should work on my phobia of thunder and lightning next.

I'm coloring a Zorua white, and wondering if I should have just started with a Hisuian Zorua.

[graceful plank]

luckily my edgy dumbass phase was mostly before social media, so very few people know how cringe and angry I used to be (thank god)

[slow gyro]

I’m never being canceleable

Not as far as I can remember at least

And can’t remember like, barely anything before bachelor

Just a big mental lagoon

[grand tusk]

Make me contest manager, I can be trusted with any slight leadership position that gives me more leeway to do things

[slow gyro]

I’d love to be a sprite manager but I don’t have the time to lol

[ivory olive]

Red Mist

[fading lodge]

My fusion looks like Santa's younger brother Luigi.

Should I just cover the little guy in fluff?

How much fluff is too much fluff?

[ripe bridge]

Gigantamax eevee taught me one very important thing

There is no such thing as too much fluff

[ivory olive]

No such thing

Encase him in floof

[fading lodge]

Now I'm going to make a joke alt that is just a round ball of fluff with it's eyes peeking through.

Here's version 1. Derp version to come soon.

Phase one of Operation "Too Much Floof" has completed. On to phase two.

[slow gyro]

Soooo

Anyone knows how many entries we have?

[fading lodge]

I checked earlier, we were at like 1448 then.

Top of the floof is a little challenging, forgive me team whimsicott!

Here is Version 1a, AKA "All the Floof."

[simple edge]

dust bunuy

[fading lodge]

It looks like an old man's head now. #1097712326834135110 joke alt is slowly evolving.

[slow gyro]

@tall moss sorry for the unexpected pin, but I have to ask, is Hoothoot/Hoothoot valid for the contest? It’s just shiny Hoothoot

[tall moss]

uhhh lets go with no since its just a recolor, you can make one

wait ni theres a better one already

[grand tusk]

ah but its not a main sprite yet

[tall moss]

now it is

[grand tusk]

wow my next sprite ruined

I was gonna snatch hoot/hoot from hero to confirm the dumb fear half the spriters have when someone asks to hear their idea

[fading lodge]

We're allowed to sprite what others made? Let's see... what has Blue submitted...

[grand tusk]

yeah fucking go for it mate

[tall moss]

that is specifically a strategy you can use to kneecap people with the least sprites award

[grand tusk]

I still haven't sprited this month because... i guess I just haven't

nothing to steal from me

but if you wanna make porygon/meowth since the closest I did was meowth/porygon that'd be cool

[fading lodge]

Stealing requires work. I'm busy fixing my floof.

[grand tusk]

zorua cottenee eh?

hmmm

[fading lodge]

Actually, nobody has made Zorua/Cottonee. I've just made Cottonee/Zorua. Twice even.

[grand tusk]

its ok i still have 8 days

i procrastinate for 7 to get the willpower to sprite

[fading lodge]

You max out your main contest chances at 2 sprites. I'd make at least two.

[grand tusk]

I have to make em first

I dunno, just haven't felt like making sprites this month

just a "eeeh, dont wanna" thing

[fading lodge]

Submit them before you make them.

[grand tusk]

dunno why

[slow gyro]

So in that case, I can make one for the contest or not?

Cause I wanted to do movil hooty from TOH

[tall moss]

nah sorry

1450 submissions right now 👀

[fading lodge]

I don't think Kiwi liked any of my suggestions.

[zinc lion]

voted for the three most likely to get me to win because i'm a cheap bitch

[valid nacelle]

Definitely voting Delicious, scariest, and visual storytelling! I'm a sucker for food themed Pokémon.

[slow gyro]

Lol same

[thin dove]

maybe i'll sprite some more today...or tomorrow

[cloud pulsar]

my suggestions are not there thats understandable

[tall moss]

some i didnt pick bc i didnt wanna have to chose with complicated criteria

[slow gyro]

Both mines are

[zinc lion]

kiwi you didn't like 'can consume the most eggs'

[fading lodge]

I mean, one of mine was either most detailed or, and hear me out, Blaq's actual choice.

[tall moss]

yall are mean af btw

[slow gyro]

Oh, having Blaq choose one would have been funny

[tall moss]

blaq only gets to choose if he adds a hundred bucks to the contest like ignus did

[fading lodge]

I submitted I think 4 suggestions. I forgot what my first one was though. Maybe I submitted more than that.

[cloud pulsar]

so sad this one didnt make it 😔

[tall moss]

IT DID

MOIST AWARD

[cloud pulsar]

oh?

[zinc lion]

y'all can split the money between every contestant. easy 3 bucks

[tall moss]

i combined similar suggs

[cloud pulsar]

LMAO

thats so funny

[zinc lion]

best oozer

cupcakes are technically moist right?

have you ever had a dry cupcake

[fading lodge]

Kiwi, could you DM me a screenshot of the suggestions? I legit forgot some of mine, and want to try and figure out what I suggested.

[slow gyro]

||It’ll be great for the choice awards to also get their money double (said the one wining the most entries)||

[tall moss]

alas im not that rich

[fading lodge]

I know I submitted at least two suggestions I couldn't win (out of the kindness of my heart).

[slow gyro]

Then let’s print more money

[zinc lion]

if i donate a hundred bucks can i choose the choice award

the hundred bucks all go to myself though that's my condition

[slow gyro]

Or your could double the awards money prices

[knotty sphinx]

Warm guy is going to win something

Idk what but he will win something

Maybe he will win his freedom

[slow gyro]

Wins the random award

[zinc lion]

if your fusion is an ice block that's on fire is that least moist or most moist

[slow gyro]

Yes

[fading lodge]

Both moist and flammable. Nice.

[knotty sphinx]

Neither, fire and ice aren't moist

[knotty sphinx]

Will Warm Guy ever be free?

Probably not

[fading lodge]

So, Kiwi, is that a no on DM'ing me?

[zinc lion]

she may be busy

[fading lodge]

I take that back. That sounds weird. Now I'll just never know what I submitted.

[tall moss]

why dm when i ca just make them public https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hw15aUxJ5uUDekMHAVTNzyVYkIzL7VKy2ZqPL_ehJdU/edit?usp=sharing

[cloud pulsar]

[silver solar]

I might be a little bias in one of my choices but tbh, more self fusions should be made in general

[tall moss]

(i missed nakas message originally )

[timid shore]

are you drinking water kiwi

[tall moss]

yens uwu

[knotty sphinx]

Ngl I kinda want to make a vileplume fusion

[tough citrus]

i'm sure it's been suggested before but at some point there should be a middle evolution contest :>

[tall moss]

there was supposed to be one

[silver solar]

I’m just happy double sneasel was viable

Because, beta inspired me

[tall moss]

gamr was gonna do 3 spons comps at some point but alas he left so

[zinc lion]

we should have a little big fusion contest. fuse a really small poke with a really large one

[slow gyro]

Lol

But I’d like to give my boy grotle some contest love

[knotty sphinx]

Skitty/Wailord

[timid shore]

love how there's no explanation for this one

[zinc lion]

it's all wailords and snorlaxes

[knotty sphinx]

Imagine if skitty was in the game

[fading lodge]

Some I think I submitted. I forgot I submitted as many ideas as I did. I think I was feeling particularly spice with the Chinchoun't award.

[tough citrus]

golbat also deserves love

[tall moss]

i love the wacky suggestion lmfao

[zinc lion]

i may have suggested that one

also could be someone else

[fading lodge]

Most unique typing seems cool, but how do you determine which type combination is the most unique?

[timid shore]

omg so many entries for edible

[honest tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/edibles-spongebob-gif-11281371

[fading lodge]

I remember submitting the Chinchoun't part, I don't remember adding the "most likely to eat a chinchou fusion" part.

[timid shore]

im glad adaptability is almost back tho

[slow gyro]

Ice/fire for sure, seeing the lack of ice types

[silver solar]

I should really work on my chinchou

[zinc lion]

we need a fairy steel pokemon

[fading lodge]

I think several of mine were RNG based.

Also, yes, I did submit the Jii-San's choice award. And disqualified myself from winning such award.

Just in case people thought someone was out to get me.

[slow gyro]

||Id love to change Klefkey, Stunfisk and Miltank for the Spheel line||

[silver solar]

I didn’t submit anything because all my creative energy is going into fusing atm

Miltank is not viable ti swap out

Gen 2 and Whitneys ace

[slow gyro]

[fading lodge]

Any swap outs has to be from Gen 3 on, as those ones were the "arbitrary additions".

But, alas, no swap outs period. Because the roster is fixed where it is right now.

[slow gyro]

[silver solar]

And also not evos or prevos for gen 1 and 2 stuff

Since those were clearly added immediately after gen 2

[knotty sphinx]

I don't like the fletchling line being in game

I never even remember it is until I think of a pokemon line I would remove for another

[timid shore]

fletchling is pretty forgettable here yeah. in my hearts of hearts i believe it's gonna be one part of the least-used mon award

[fading lodge]

I know Pyuku was added as a result of a contest back in the day.

[shy river]

My category submission made it in :)

[versed ridge]

Same

[silver solar]

I dont like fletchling line being in game because there’s 0 official sprites that arent just models turned into sprites

[slow gyro]

Let’s get rid of it, as it’s already completed

[silver solar]

It makes it harder to get good reference sheets

[slow gyro]

Okay so let’s change the fletching line for the spheal line

I mean, i like fletching, but i love spheal more

[shy river]

||the description for mine has a typo tho ||

[silver solar]

From what ive heard fletchling is in game because talonflame is meta

[fading lodge]

Maybe I should work on making an alt of one of my fusions that I was considering.

[versed ridge]

gg

Replace the fletchling line with Eternatus

[slow gyro]

And Walrein fusions would be super fun

[silver solar]

Jesus imagine spriting that bastard

[shy river]

Walrein would be so cool to fuse

[versed ridge]

Eternatus becomes the new Wailord

[slow gyro]

Hell yea

Bearded Pokémon go brrrr

[zinc lion]

i just want regis damnit

[silver solar]

Just add meowth and persian and meowth and viking meowth

[slow gyro]

||Id love to do a Walrein/Typhlosiin||

[shy river]

Detailed head, simple body, its perfect

[versed ridge]

We should get eternatus it would be so awesome it would be so cool

[silver solar]

(This is a joke, i dont even like galsrian meowth that much)

[versed ridge]

(I want to sprite the living skeletonized remains of a god)

[glossy wagon]

why didn't you use my gun suggestion @tall moss

[slow gyro]

So let’s print more memory for RPG maker so it could have more Pokémon

[glossy wagon]

I am clearly very upset

[versed ridge]

I am going to shoot you in the elbow

[slow gyro]

Well now we know what you’ll choose as the most flammable Pokémon

A remoraid fire gun

[glossy wagon]

if its flammable maybe

[silver solar]

Honestly if the starter category is chosen I literally already did all of those possible for my 3 pokemon lol

Well mostly

I have a few to mop up

[zinc lion]

If a gun is flammable it would be a very ineffective gun

[shy river]

Idk man

[glossy wagon]

I guess you could throw it

[slow gyro]

Everything is flammable for a fire gun

I guess it’ll be a flamethrower

[shy river]

Flamethrowers have something pretty flammable going through em

[silver solar]

I wonder how many categories in the vote i have viable fusions made for already

After all, i just wanna have something viable for most choice awards

[frail vortex]

which fusion would make a molotov cocktail?

[slow gyro]

It’s a shame “Least bones” isn’t a category choice

[zinc lion]

None of mine have bones

[glossy wagon]

its hard to have negative bones so there'd probably be a large tie

maybe most bones

[shy river]

Koffing/typhlosion?

[silver solar]

Well I definitely dont have any fossil fusions

[slow gyro]

I was going to break every bone of every one my fusions so they wouldn’t either

[silver solar]

But i have some gen 1 fusions and some gen 3+ plus

[zinc lion]

Which pokemon can eat the most eggs

[silver solar]

Probably totodile/sneasel

Sneasel just has egg theif vibes

I wonder how many more sprites i have that arent in the feedback stage yet

[zinc lion]

They can make the most eggs, not eat

[shy river]

Oh oh

[versed ridge]

[nimble torrent]

guys a miltank crashed skyboy's pc

[shy river]

Tododile munchlax

Big jaw + unending appetite

[thin dove]

you found one of the sprites i was making, congratulations

[shy river]

Can he eat da egg?

[tall moss]

we dont need more gun fusions when we have

its already perfect

[thin dove]

yeah, he can eat da egg. he's also eating a cake, which has at least 2 egg

[zinc lion]

We need to add trubbish to the game

It's absolutely criminal it's not in already

Sableye too

[silver solar]

47.5 fusions in progress 😭

[zinc lion]

But more importantly trubbish

[silver solar]

I’m probably scrapping one

Hence the .5

[shy river]

47

[zinc lion]

Guess you're sitten out for that one

[cloud pulsar]

47
i only have 15

[silver solar]

I gotta wrap em all up

Some are just recolored atm

[thin dove]

WHAT

[shy river]

I have none

[zinc lion]

Not like losing 1 out of 47 is going to impact your chances that much

[versed ridge]

I have 1 sprite in progress

[thin dove]

jesus i was helping a bunch of people get done fast and missed so much time ;_;

[versed ridge]

How do y’all work so fast

[silver solar]

Yeah, Vulpix/dratini isn’t working out so i may scrap it

[zinc lion]

Not like you have 47 misses then all of a sudden you have a winning fusion with your 48th

[versed ridge]

I like to think i dont have misses

[silver solar]

A lot of them are just recolored atm

[versed ridge]

(Though I probably have a few)

[shy river]

Its 47 fusions waiting to be winners

[versed ridge]

I guess its a me problem since i never use bases

[silver solar]

I think I’ll also drop the fletchling

[versed ridge]

All my sprites are made from the ground up

[silver solar]

Because no official bases

I mostly splice

[zinc lion]

I like using bases when I can subvert the original design elements

[silver solar]

I think ill drop shinx/shinx too because someone already made one amd i think i liked thay ome

[shy river]

1/10 of mine has a custom base

[zinc lion]

But I also like creating something new entirely, so half and half

[shy river]

A healthy mix

[cloud pulsar]

i am scared of not using bases because i think it will look off

[versed ridge]

Im pretty sure the only time i used a base was making the flying wake

[silver solar]

I will finish most of these fusions, just maybe not before the contest ends

[slow gyro]

Idk how many custom bases I’ve use

[shy river]

theyre all contest fusions?

[silver solar]

But i was out of commission for a week because i hurt my back then i needed to take a break to play a game because dammit i had a rough week

[slow gyro]

Either how many sketches I made, but those where few

[silver solar]

yes

Everything ive been making since the contest was announced is for it

Because the contest is my motivation

[shy river]

Goddamn

Get back to it

[silver solar]

Nah, its 2am

It can wait until morning

[zinc lion]

I've only made one contest submission without a custom base I think and I didn't end up using it

[silver solar]

Having half done fusions when the contest ends will probably give me motivation to finish them too

[shy river]

I made one submission

And i hate it

[silver solar]

I dont even really care about the money

[versed ridge]

My single contest submission doesnt use a base

I also dont really care for the money i just wanted to share my funny nerd emoji

[fading lodge]

I'm at 33 submitted sprites, with 3-4 in the works.

[silver solar]

I just want to try for the glory amd the fun and I’m milking it for energy to do stuff

[versed ridge]

Ok i have 2 tests i need to finish bye guys

[cloud pulsar]

why are people so humble? i want the money

[zinc lion]

Roserade klinklang, roserade magnezone, electrode rayquaza, rayquaza electrode, starmie steelix, mime jr litwick, and golett lileep are all custom bases. Only one that isn't is parasect regigigas

[silver solar]

I have 6 threads open now with sprites I didn’t include in my count too

[shy river]

that's fair too

[silver solar]

Oh if i get the money I’ll enjoy it. I just don’t want to get my hopes up you know?

[zinc lion]

If there was a one dollar submission fee I guarantee you that the prizes will multiply ten fold

[fading lodge]

I'd like to win, but I haven't had good luck with contests. Only win I've ever gotten was a bit of a fluke. And I don't think I'd win in today's contest meta. Too many voters.

[shy river]

Is there a... good way to see which fusions are already done?

[zinc lion]

Sprite-gallery

[silver solar]

Imagine if i got first place, I would probably set that aside for the arcanine i want

[shy river]

For the contest

[fading lodge]

If there was a one dollar submission fee I guarantee you almost nobody would enter.

[zinc lion]

Also check on aegide

[silver solar]

Yeah, free entry is how you get the people to do stuff

[shy river]

I'm strictly talking about the contest

[zinc lion]

Yeah

[shy river]

Oh, coolio

[silver solar]

I made a spreadsheet a few days after the contest was announced

Thats been my reference for my 3 maim pokemon

[zinc lion]

If it was made in the last two weeks you can assume it's for the contest

[silver solar]

You know what, ill leave that typo

[zinc lion]

If its not they are dumb and should fix that immediately

[silver solar]

They all will maim, either now or when evolved

Especially sneasel

And luxray

And if you just bump into a ninetales you might get cursed

[shy river]

Maim

[silver solar]

I know there’s no viable chinchou heads, duskull heads, or bidoof bodies

[shy river]

The curse of completion

Im thinking more about murkrow tbh

But i gotta work anyway

[silver solar]

Bidoof aint even complete, its just all the 1st stages are

[shy river]

Thats completion in a way :p

[thin dove]

could've sworn someone made a chart way back when

but ones done during but not before the competition...are viable 😄

[fading lodge]

I've been challenged on how much floof could be used to indicate too much floof. Challenge accepted.

Ooooff, I'm already tired and I haven't even gotten halfway through with the outline.

[simple edge]

AYYYY eyes got in!!!

That was my submisison

[thin dove]

currently in the cauldron:
-igglybuff
-grimer
-bidoof
-cottonee
-togepi
-shinx
-sneasel
-vulpix

[simple edge]

i like fusions that go down the eldritch horror route because i unironically find them cute

[thin dove]

also tweaking exeggcute a bit more

[silver solar]

Apparently i messed up my spreadsheet a little and joltik/vulpix aint valid

[thin dove]

oh no
i still really like that sprite though!

[silver solar]

Yeah I’ll still post it. Already did the hard work

[knotty sphinx]

Pineco/Bellsprout

[fading lodge]

A full 288x288 image is tough. Well, I guess a full 96x96 image is tough, but still.

[upper sonnet]

Joltik/murkrow is available è_è

[timid shore]

how do you sprite an eeg

[fading lodge]

Egg sprites already done. Or do you mean you want eggs with your pokemon?

[timid shore]

im musing a little trying to sort out how to make a part of this pokemon to be recognisable as the egg happiny usually carries around

but i'll figure it out

[slow gyro]

I just make a three arms rock dude lol

#1097777062485430312 if someone wants to give feedback to it

I literally just made it in like, 10 minutes before going to sleep lol

[timid shore]

oh wait it's not even an egg at all

[fading lodge]

Tonight's progress on mega-floof. It's a joke alt, just accept it. And I'll do more tomorrow. The pink is so I remember where Zorua is in all of this.

[thin dove]

submitted another sprite to the contest

[torn dawn]

I love it

[unreal kernel]

New here what’s the theme of this contest?

[thin dove]

little cup 3

[unreal kernel]

Ooo

[torn dawn]

#special-contest

Little Cup

[thin dove]

i had a few sketches (half done) of some stuff i want to do for the contest that i now gotta block out in mspaint and tidy up

gonna touch up my exeggcute and add it in soon too

[unreal kernel]

Gl!!

[thin dove]

thanks!

[shy river]

Ooooooooooh heck yeah

[upper sonnet]

If you claim it, i will write it on the #1094970248467325028

[shy river]

I forgor where i can claim it

Found it

But ill claim it later

Bc work

[upper sonnet]

I will claim it for you on the joltik chart

[shy river]

Thankyuuuu :)

[thin dove]

does anyone know how to summon the bot for a thread?

i wanna check to see if there are any half-pixels in my sprite

the bot is ignoring me when i ping it

[timid shore]

the sprite has to be named using the proper format and then you make a reply to it while pinging @/Fusion Bot

never used it myself but that's how i saw people go about it

[thin dove]

hasn't worked yet

[upper sonnet]

Need to be in a spritework for me

and 288x288 size

[sharp mountain]

It won't let me revote, but I'm tryin to remove my votes :(

[timid shore]

refresh it entirely and see if you remove it then.

also check what message it gives you coz sometimes the error message is exactly what you want happening

[plucky arch]

ohohh

absolutely just voted for the ones thatll benefit me

[digital valley]

Dang, my suggestion of the-Pokemon-you-can-Punt-the-Farthest didn’t make it in

[timid shore]

kindergarten class is now full 💜

[misty acorn]

what a bunch of funky guys
My favorite is the Mantyke/Cleffa, I would totally put it into a new modern mode if such a thing would ever exist but sadly it will not trust me guys

[timid shore]

more foreshadowing?

[plucky arch]

if only Corsola counted, id have like 3 more entries

i gotta make 4 more so i have 60 even

To The Slugs

[thin dove]

well i started 2 more bases before checking the time and having to sleep last night, one i think is in a pretty neat spot, the other one...

uh

my MSPaint scratches always look rough at the start but this guy might need a retool on the face entirely

[silver solar]

Lol yeah

Face funky, but thats what polish os for

[zinc lion]

1 or 2 for porygon/piplup?

[velvet mica]

The belly looks a bit off with 1

[errant hazel]

Just looked at a picture of piplup, I'd say 2

[timid shore]

the peter pan collar is cuter

if thats the vibe you wanna go for

[zinc lion]

yeah i'm thinking 2 as well

[hollow gull]

Wow you're just asking everywhere

[zinc lion]

always good to have feedback from as many sources at once

[molten crater]

the collar gives me Pablo vibes (backyardigans), I'd go with 1

[zinc lion]

alright, time for another 15 alts

[slow gyro]

Counting the Pokémon in spritework

I’m at 99 contest entries

[ivory olive]

Make one more

[slow gyro]

Latter

I have to have the best idea of all for it

Btw, I almost finish the chart lol

[upper sonnet]

You do body/head for any of them ?

Because Joltik head need a tangela or an egghcute

[slow gyro]

For now I’m trying to just do the ones in white to use more with the least

But if I have an idea for them, I’ll send you a message

Idk if I’ll be able to do a Voltorb though, there’s barely anything free

HOLD UP

[upper sonnet]

Voltorb is nearly 100%, ah ah, good luck for found one

[slow gyro]

I GOT AN IDEA FOR TANGELA

I’m claiming it

[upper sonnet]

Claiming tangela/joltik (easy to do and fun to do) or the opposite ?

[slow gyro]

Joltik head

Tangela Body

[upper sonnet]

Ok, i will put it on my chart

I have tried it before

But looked too much like voltorb

Tried a cocon, with a tiny joltik on it

[slow gyro]

||Ima do a Tangela infested with joktiks ||

[vital stirrup]

finally got around to making some entries

[upper sonnet]

Wait, this is a joltik ?

I have put some joltik chart for claim it, ah ah :p

Well, lucky to me, nobody has claim it before

[slow gyro]

So cool!

[vital stirrup]

thanks 🙏

[zinc lion]

when's the deadline for the contest again?

[wide knoll]

#special-contest message
middle of message

[zinc lion]

oh nice

[digital valley]

https://tenor.com/view/thering-sevendays-sacred-horrified-gif-7817466

[plucky arch]

ahhhhh fooey

[slow gyro]

Seven days to finish my contest chart

There must be a Voltorb left

I can feel it

[ivory olive]

Voltorb is finished

You could make an alt tho

[slow gyro]

Of what?

[ivory olive]

Uhhhhh

Idk

[slow gyro]

I was thinking on doing Voltorb Chikorita

[ivory olive]

Check if you can

[slow gyro]

As was one of the few lil pokemon that weren’t in the calc

But like

0 ideas

[ivory olive]

Just checked, you can

hmmm, maybe they can have an apricot plant on their head?

[slow gyro]

Bestie, you’re a genius

[ivory olive]

[thin dove]

i really hope there's an extension..

i had to do so much other stuff this month i couldn't get many totodiles done yet

[silver solar]

Ok, i think I’m gonna give myself a hard deadline of Saturday for posting new spritework threads

[tall moss]

1484 sprites in the drive

[plucky arch]

i have 2 unadded to the drive

[silver solar]

I have a lot of stuff not in spritework yet but technically done

But also spearow has 0 open wing sprites

[plucky arch]

steal from another bird, simple

[silver solar]

Oh I’m gonna steal from pidgey

Most cards with open wings show pretty basic underside

Then there’s this one

Majority rules tho, 7 cards show normal but pale underwings

Like belly color

[timid shore]

how about the anime?

[slow gyro]

I have 8 i think

[silver solar]

Tbh i would rather look at lets go models than the anime because I’m not sure how often spearow shows up there. But if anyone wants to at least check the episode where ash gets mobbed that would be cool

[grand tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-flock-flying-birds-sparrow-gif-8995036

[silver solar]

Yeah it seems its just that one artist who did the weird thing with the wings

[grand tusk]

he ran outta the color and only had red left 😔

[silver solar]

Its ok, its silly amd cute

[errant hazel]

Holy crap this is an awesome idea

[upper sonnet]

Why they are not posted on the gallery ?

[thin dove]

got another one in

i'm not sure if i should keep trying to make custom bases or just go for a lot of game base manipulations at this point

[vital stirrup]

thanks

[vital stirrup]

i forgor 💀 will add them to spritework now

[near horizon]

And to the gallery? (because remember you have to put all your sprites in the gallery after they're done)

[tall moss]

knuckles made a custom with open wings

[silver solar]

Ah, i meant official but i can look for that one!

[inner pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/birdemic-attack-birds-gif-8041812

[slow gyro]

Okay so if I count correctly, I’m already at 100 entries for the contest

[mint lava]

what now

[slow gyro]

Lol

[mint lava]

i havent even finished one

[pastel hollow]

i should do one more before the contest ends

[slow gyro]

Are we on the milestone yet?

I can’t check

[zinc lion]

I'm tapped out, can't think of anything else

[mint lava]

the deadline is in six days

[pastel hollow]

solosis cranidos

https://tenor.com/view/the-chase-anne-hegerty-the-governess-chase-wibble-wobble-gif-22042125

why does this gif exist

[mint lava]

idk

[pastel hollow]

lmao

elekid/larvesta where the spires are power towers with lines between them

[mint lava]

also how do i post it

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[pastel hollow]

im actually totally out of ideas

[mint lava]

stop tying on which one is better

idk how to spell it

theres alot of

[upper sonnet]

joltik/slaking

hum

i mean

slakoth

Otherwise, all joltik pink slot 🙂

[mint lava]

okay good

anyways how do i post stuff as a non spriter

can i jsut not post stuff as one?

[thin dove]

the deadline might be in six days, depending on what kiwi wants to do

[upper sonnet]

if they are on the spritework, they are valid for the contest entries, for your case, i believe

[mint lava]

i did that

[upper sonnet]

Do you wannot do joltik/totodile ? xD

[thin dove]

yes! lol i've got a backlog of totodiles i gotta do from the wait of blitzing bunearies/voltorbs

i have a totodile/joltik sketched out as well that i'm tweaking a bit before putting him in the WIP zone, then i gotta also fix up Zorua, Ekans and Togepi

oh and Sneasel and Shinx

and then the other starters that need totodile heads

and maybe the sword

i have a pose in mind for joltik/totodile too 😄

oh yeah and also doing cottonee (both ways)

who oh geez'd me roflmao

[near horizon]

New entry done

[barren inlet]

How do I find out when a new contest starts btw?

[misty acorn]

It'll be in #event-announcements

And if you have the contest participant role, you'll get pinged

[barren inlet]

Ahhh ok I should go get the role then

[zinc lion]

hehe

[slow gyro]

Okay so we’re now over the 1500 now, right?

[worldly fractal]

According to my computer, there's 1531 files in the drives.

[finite salmon]

Hey I was just in generel chat asking what LC entry means and someone said Little Cup, I asked if there was a contest going on (i've been gone for over a month and have channels muted) and they told me to come here and ask what is up.

[silver solar]

#special-contest

Plz read here first

[finite salmon]

ty i'll go there.

just following the links <3

[silver solar]

People can explain anything that confuses you. The contest was announced i think around the 26th?

[finite salmon]

how far down do i scroll im in some sort of illitrations talk thing

[silver solar]

So thats how far back to scroll to get to the contest

[finite salmon]

i've been gone since the 8th i think of march

[finite salmon]

ok thanks <3

[silver solar]

April 25/26 announcement

And with that, i nap. Hopefully other people can clear anything else up

[worldly fractal]

It's kinda crazy that Hero drawing made around one entry out of every 15

[slow gyro]

Shouldn’t we tell Kiwi?

[worldly fractal]

@tall moss Screenshot is in french but we have enough files.

[ivory olive]

French

[twin otter]

what's the most entries a contest has ever received?

[misty acorn]

uhm

less than this one

[pastel hollow]

DOSSIERS

[slow gyro]

||Im just waiting for the next award to be announced to start doing more sprites||

[sterile pasture]

🔮📿🥝

Start the summoning ritual

[cloud pulsar]

lets summon the cosmic kiwi in the sky

[mint lava]

Is that a borzoi

[cloud pulsar]

whats that?

[graceful plank]

it's a kiwi, as they said 😛

[cloud pulsar]

dog

[mint lava]

Cosmos borzoi imo

[sterile pasture]

Cosmos borzoi, tell us the next choice award 🙌

[weary pagoda]

let me reveal it for you 🥺

[polar flare]

um hello >< i wanted to submit my fusion to the drive, but im not sure how and what format to use? im not familliar w google drive haha if anyone knows if theres lil a lil tutorial i could use or sumn that would be awesome--

[plucky arch]

you just make a file and drag them i

[polar flare]

ah okay! i know my discord acc isnt connected to my google drive acc, so should i name my folder that? and that method should be okay w more than 1 fusion i hope--

[polar flare]

nvm it worked!! tysm for ur help ^v^

[tall moss]

super, je vais faire lannonce sous peu

[fading lodge]

I don't fully know what Kiwi said, but I'm excited!

[ivory olive]

uhhhh

I don't speak French

I need someone who can speak French, brb

[mint lava]

COSMOS BORZOI

[plucky arch]

RUSH EM BOYSS

[weary pagoda]

"great, I'll do the announcement soon enough"

de rien ;)

[mint lava]

COMOS BORZOI DID IT /j

[ivory olive]

Thank you Skel'n

[plucky arch]

WE DONT NEED QUALITY WE NEED TO DRAIN KIWI'S POCKETS

[tall moss]

DO IT!!!

[slow gyro]

Lol I was the one who put that award on the questionnaire lol

[crude cedar]

Okay people, listen up: let's all aim to try and TIE for Genwunner and Zoomer as the next Choice Award, that way we'll get both

[fading lodge]

Now... How to tell a one panel story...

[slow gyro]

And now idk what to do, either if any of my sprites count for it

[ivory olive]

I'm down to commit vote fraud

[slow gyro]

But this theme is a really fun one, I’d love to see what other can do

[plucky arch]

i uh. ive got one eating honey

[ivory olive]

A baby crys over dead moon

[tall moss]

cubone and yamask are good examples of visual storytelling, them holding the remains of their sad backstory

[fading lodge]

Kiwi, I think I give up on new award, is too hard.

[tall moss]

you thunked for a whole minute, good job

[plucky arch]

oh i have a cubone and a litwick, yeah thats fine im good dont gotta try for this one

[fading lodge]

I'll just make my sproots and maybe someone will make up their own story.

[crude cedar]

Guys, I have a big brain idea. Everyone makes as low quality Fusions as you possibly can, and we use those as spares to still get numbers

[sharp mountain]

contest aint open though yeah?

[ivory olive]

Yes

[fading lodge]

Umm... Do we tell them?

[sterile pasture]

Oh yay, I was hoping for this theme

[fading lodge]

Contest is nearly over.

[slow gyro]

Oh I know

I do have a sprite that can participate

Baby listening to MCR

[fading lodge]

I have one sprite that taken with its Alts tell a story.

[plucky arch]

ivd got the one cubone honestly and thats all ive got in the gnoggin

[mint lava]

[sharp mountain]

The baby contest is, but I assume you'd need a new sprite for visual storytelling?

[crude cedar]

I think I might pull inspiration to crank out an idea similar to how people made the Gardevoir/Porygon-Z Fusion idea, but it depends on how much free time I'd have

[sterile pasture]

These are all stretch awards in the Little Cup

It's all the same contest

[mint lava]

Rate out of 10

[sharp mountain]

hmmm

[crude cedar]

Who here knows Legends Arceus culture? Because I would like to ask you something

What makes the better Baby Pokemon to make a Gun out of: Klink, or Porygon?

[fading lodge]

What's your idea/question? I know some stuff.

[sterile pasture]

I would never claim to know anything but I did 100% that game

[fading lodge]

Remoraid?

[crude cedar]

No, I'm talking like a Metallic and Realistic Gun. What's the best Pokemon to use for that?

[fading lodge]

Klink

[slow gyro]

Klink Remoraid, I guess

[plucky arch]

Remoraid is the gun boy

[crude cedar]

I guess Klink it is, now just to see if anybody has Fused Klink with the Pokemon I want to use...

[fading lodge]

What was your Legends Arceus question?

[crude cedar]

This

[ivory olive]

a Remoraid and Litwick Fusion could be a John Wick joke Fusion lol

[crude cedar]

Because it's necessary for my Storytelling Comedy/Joke Fusion

[fading lodge]

What... Does that have to do with a game set hundreds of years ago?

[sterile pasture]

Yeah I don't get it

[crude cedar]

You'd know if you knew the Memes

[sterile pasture]

Huh.

[crude cedar]

I'll say this- I'm fusing with a Gen 1 Pokemon, that seems somewhat French in its name

[fading lodge]

Guess I don't know the memes. For your sake, I hope the judge/s know the memes.

[thin dove]

is it really just going to be 6 days? i thought it was going to be extended...

[zinc lion]

Out of all the choice awards you really had to pick the hardest one

How are we going to tell a story and keep the size of the original pokes??

[sterile pasture]

A challenge is good

[fading lodge]

Witchcraft

[crude cedar]

By just adding a Gun

[hollow gull]

[sterile pasture]

Yeah that seems like the only solution

Gun Cup starts NOW

[mint lava]

People event idea right here only remoriad fusions

[crude cedar]

I'll go with Remoraid then since it matches the Time Period

Good! Nobody has made it yet! I can't wait to make this meme

[valid nacelle]

I just thought of one using Porygon and Gastly! I must admit, ghost types have a lot of potential for Visual Storytelling!

[cloud pulsar]

what is this choice award
this is so hard wtf

[pastel hollow]

I love it

i didnt even see this option when i was selecting since there were so many options and im glad it won

wait who put moist in there WHO WOULD DO THIS

[thin dove]

so what are the choice awards we've unlocked so far?

chinchou, derpy, tells a story, but what else?

[sterile pasture]

Baby mons and Ignus's choice award

I'ma submit a bonsly sprite that's just a pile of dry kindling

[versed ridge]

I wish meme pick won

[thin dove]

ok, so "most of a single mon" didn't get nominated...kind of relieved? kind of not? idk

[silver solar]

Its still a possibility

[slow gyro]

Most sprites

[thin dove]

hmm...well, i doubt i'd be able to even remotely hit that milestone if people have 50 in the bucket already and that's just the ones i heard about from two weeks ago

[slow gyro]

||I hit 100 today||

[versed ridge]

How do you guys have so many submissions

[slow gyro]

Im speed

[plucky arch]

0 thought, only sprite

then i got burnt out, and just do Slugs

[thin dove]

i'm at 7. if i try to get to over 100 in a week after doing about fifty in less than a week on two other occasions i might just short-circuit

[silver solar]

I’m currently switching from batch posting to one sprite per thread to get my sprites out for feedback

[pastel hollow]

so when the choice awards happen, im assuming they wait for the 2 of each person's sprites to be selected?

or are they gonna browse through 2000 sprites 😂

[silver solar]

I think for the choice awards, yes they will

[pastel hollow]

yes to which

[silver solar]

Browse through everything

[limber venture]

choice awards i believe have always been through every sprite

so yes, kiwi will browse 2000 sprites

not like she doesnt do that every month tho

[cloud pulsar]

i like that emoji

[limber venture]

you cant have it

[cloud pulsar]

[limber venture]

its from a top secret ultra secret server

🤫

[cloud pulsar]

of course is from amalgam

[versed ridge]

I would make another sprite but im out of ideas

[plucky arch]

our sister server

[silver solar]

This is what the contest did to me

[tall moss]

me

i couldve named it slimy, wet, least flamable

but obviously moist is far superior

[thin dove]

i might...have a moist? or two?

[slow gyro]

Oh all mighty Kiwi, am I winning something from making 100 sprites for the contest?

[thin dove]

man i don't even know how to feel about that prospect

[slow gyro]

Lol

[cloud pulsar]

you get this one

[slow gyro]

I used to have competence for that, and it was fun

Now I’m at the top, but it just, doesn’t feel the same

[cloud pulsar]

i still dont know what to do for "visual storytelling"

[slow gyro]

Hmm

Just do something dying in lava lol

[tall moss]

ice type/munchlax dropped its ice cream

[slow gyro]

Maybe a Tyroge training

Just got an idea

[civic sundial]

Can I make a sprite for the contest that already has a custom? 👀

[cloud pulsar]

im gonna do my larvesta/larvesta based in the pokedex entry
"This Pokémon was called the Larva That Stole the Sun"

[slow gyro]

But I’m not saying it this time cause it’ll be super obvious

[slow gyro]

Love that!

[slow gyro]

Sadly no

I mean

You can

If the custom was made after the contest was announced

If it was made before, you can’t

[civic sundial]

Ok ok no it's an old custom so I wasn't sure

No wait someone already made an alt for the contest rip

[timid shore]

if its after 25/26 march you can still submit it

oh nvm i backread and got more context

[short dirge]

Hey guys I’m back what’s happening

Is the contest still running or what

[timid shore]

it's ending in 6 days!

[short dirge]

Keeping in mind I’ve been remote for 3 weeks so

[short dirge]

The channel is full of updates and new brackets and info unrelated to the actual contest details

ok neat

[honest tulip]

btw we'll be losing our completionist role soon, getting replaced by a generic pokefan icon gimmick

[short dirge]

whose idea was that

whoever it is

[honest tulip]

the sprite managers apparently

[short dirge]

I squint in their general direction

well that’s one way to prevent people having the interest to work on completing a pokemon

[upper sonnet]

Limited, there are 840 completinist role, but discord is limited to 240 role

[short dirge]

I mean it was only going to be for the first X completions anyway

So this was never an issue

[upper sonnet]

But new people wanted this role too

[honest tulip]

they wanted it to be fair for everyone

[upper sonnet]

So they needed to rework it

[short dirge]

…it is fair for everyone

if people join too late that’s just how it is

[upper sonnet]

When you think of the new wave this week end

Outch, all the french room go it hard

People who do not know decompress a zip

Or do not have any idea how talk english

For 5 days

[honest tulip]

kinda see it coming since it was brought up in the past, and according to some of the staff the discussion has been ongoing for a while now, but it's fking shit that they drop the change on the same day as some cry baby make a complaint about the system not being fair

[short dirge]

I mean I did agree that some components of it were a bit awkward and not overly fair, but this isn’t the solution

[honest tulip]

let's just stop with the rant, the sprite managers will be up ur ass if they see this

[upper sonnet]

Most people agree with it ^^

[short dirge]

@rose sapphirenerdmanagers

[upper sonnet]

Like me, because i am arrived too late for it :p

[short dirge]

wow that auto pinged someone

Sorry whoever that is

[slow gyro]

New spriters were rushing making low quality sprites just to get the role, and that killed the fun

[short dirge]

…

[upper sonnet]

This is rare, this case, no ?

[honest tulip]

drop the discussion guys

[teal grove]

(They couldve just, you know, kept completionist counting for alts)

[cloud pulsar]

they are still working in a replacement for the completionist roles or atleast thats what rezza said

[upper sonnet]

I have see more people rush sprite for the LC contest ^^

[honest tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/1984-gif-19260546

[short dirge]

You know how you get people to rush sprites

You make a contest with unlimited entries

[timid shore]

jfc not this again

[slow gyro]

I’m taking that as a personal attack

[short dirge]

has this been overdone cos like I said I’ve been gone for 3 weeks so I’ve missed out on all that’s happened

[upper sonnet]

Herodrawing have good quality sprites and got the most entries ^^

[timid shore]

check like one of the team threads.

[short dirge]

Only you know if that’s a personal attack

[honest tulip]

😂 cmon guys riviera doesn't mean it, he's just not updated on the current situation

[timid shore]

klingklang

or something

[upper sonnet]

Who is the second with the most entries ?

[timid shore]

teeohess i think

[short dirge]

If you are putting effort and love into your work then clearly it isn’t an insult

[slow gyro]

Well I made 100 good quality sprites for the contest

[short dirge]

But I can’t tell you that from behind my phone screen

[slow gyro]

I think it is TeeOhEss

[short dirge]

I mean people said the issue was apparently people rushing entries, so if the people with the most entries aren’t rushing them, what’s goin on

[upper sonnet]

Yeah, but they cannot beat hero, ah ah

[cloud pulsar]

rushing sprites to get completionist role

[short dirge]

sweats in togekiss

[slow gyro]

I do think that was a real problem

[short dirge]

ok I guess I’ll look into…whatever, later

[cloud pulsar]

wyag was just salty that he didnt get corsola completionist so he make a complaint in #discord-suggestions

[short dirge]

I gotta unpack the suitcase

[timid shore]

rushing entries is not rushing to get completionist here. i think we are mixing two separate issues into one

[honest tulip]

nobody can answer u that, cuz they'll violate rule1

[short dirge]

It became tied up because this contest encouraged rushing sprites

[slow gyro]

Imagine making 42 sprites that were just recolored with issues and getting the role, but making someone who made 41 super high quality sprites not get the role cause you finish 42 before they made their last one

[short dirge]

and it seemed like a timely reference

[upper sonnet]

Some are doing it for the random choice award, less for the most entries, now

[timid shore]

no you only get 1 chance per person for random choice

it doesnt depend on how many entries you have

[honest tulip]

a 1 week period was given wasn't it?

[upper sonnet]

oh ok ^^

So nevermind

[slow gyro]

I basically fixed that issue lol

I’m the number 1 hero

[slow gyro]

Idk I wasn’t that into all the lore behind the completionist role

Just wanted to help complete torterra and Volcarona cause love those sprites lol

But now my dream is over

[honest tulip]

well, sorry that my love for pokemon isn't that big and i want a common unique goal to work towards to with my team

[cloud pulsar]

when volcarona gets complete im not doing anymore teams. now i dont see the reason

[upper sonnet]

TeeOhEss 57 sprites
Snrasha 44 sprites
Hero 100 sprites

Outch

[cloud pulsar]

dies with 15 sprites

[fading lodge]

Teams don't really matter anymore, right? Since Completionist roles aren't a thing anymore and they might even get rid of the old completionist roles too.

[upper sonnet]

Hero has never sleep for these

[upper sonnet]

You can always get ultra pokefan role è_è

[fading lodge]

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with teams.

[cloud pulsar]

yeah i don't see the purpose of teams anymore

fun fact i cant spell purpose i spelled it pourpose

[fading lodge]

I'd do away with my mew captain, but that's surrendering defeat to Say, and that doesn't seem worth it.

[honest tulip]

@upper sonnet stop rushing contest entries, idw to see copy pasted recolour sprites. where's my special effect? where's my non-IF cameo? where's th quality? /j

[upper sonnet]

Catsoup has 47 entries

[slow gyro]

My babies

[upper sonnet]

I am not in third position !

CatSoup has more than me

[fading lodge]

Wait... I'm not rushing, but you seem to be trashing my sprites... sad Naka noises.

[timid shore]

it's definitely not about you.

[fading lodge]

Oh, there's a /j there. I missed that. That means joking, right?

[upper sonnet]

I am not fourth too
Coramsun has 44 sprites too

[fading lodge]

I'm learning the interwebs lingo!

I'm at 34 submitted (with an alt) and 2-4 more almost ready to go (with 1-2 being alts).

[upper sonnet]

Hum

[slow gyro]

And I have infinite power

[upper sonnet]

All of these entries are not invalid because of the wrong filename ?

@timid urchin your filename seems wrong ^^

[fading lodge]

There's worse file names in there.

Someone just named their file "yipee"

or something like that.

[slow gyro]

Yipee

[upper sonnet]

....

@supple olive your filename are very wrong

[fading lodge]

Classic .116 file.

[cloud pulsar]

lmao

[slow gyro]

Lol

[near horizon]

All my entries so far

[upper sonnet]

Someone is narcissist è_è

[fading lodge]

I want to conquer my floofball/cube so I can submit.

[fading lodge]

Most contests require entries submitted like that.

This one is different due to sheer volume of entries.

[cloud pulsar]

i should have done one of these collage with all of my entries

[upper sonnet]

well, at least, this one has correct number and we can see the file 🙂

[timid shore]

do ittt it's fun

adds to the visual storytelling

or something

[upper sonnet]

JustAHusk is sixth on number of entries with 37 !

[honest tulip]

why is there a random anorith magikarp lol

[fading lodge]

Why not?

[honest tulip]

why isnt it consistently the username

[near horizon]

It's just screenshot of the drive folder x)

Or you're talking about something else?

[upper sonnet]

the screenshot of the drive folder

[cloud pulsar]

something else is like a group photo

[upper sonnet]

I searched the third position on the most entries

[fading lodge]

I see what you mean. Anorith deserves names, not numbers.

Probably was their thought.

[upper sonnet]

Someone will certainly win the chinchou prize

Oh ! Meep with 38 entries

[fading lodge]

"Does I have a chance at Chinchou?"

[timid shore]

like this:

[honest tulip]

no special effects, unacceptable

[cloud pulsar]

like that exactly

[fading lodge]

TeeOhEss color sorted their sprites? I don't have that ability.

[near horizon]

Almost all of mine have special effects, so it's good? XD

[slow gyro]

Wait that wasn’t for here lol

[cloud pulsar]

lmao

[honest tulip]

no non-IF cameo? unacceptable x10

[upper sonnet]

some of my fusion has special effect !

[fading lodge]

The most special effect I've done besides (unsuccessful) floof is some fire wings. Which are okay I guess.

[upper sonnet]

Renattus, 32 sprites

[honest tulip]

nah guys jus joking don't fret it

[upper sonnet]

Sitten, 33 sprites

[timid shore]

the line between being salty and joking around is a fine one.

[fading lodge]

I'm not usually one to sprite special effects, maybe little flourishes here and there, but not often.

This floof is killing me.

[upper sonnet]

oh oufs

Sleekzeke 46 sprites

[honest tulip]

I'll jump between the line anytime iw

[upper sonnet]

Less if you do not count alt

[slow gyro]

I love special effects lol

Those are what I do best

[upper sonnet]

Ok, this is done, many people have 30+ sprites 🙂

[short dirge]

I’m gonna do 1 sprite, fear me

[fading lodge]

Riviera, no.

[slow gyro]

Im ruined

[fading lodge]

Do two, maximizes your chances.

[short dirge]

I also still need to post the previous contest things

[upper sonnet]

do twenty alts, they count

Just with recolor

[short dirge]

But first it’s midnight and I just got home so I sleep

[honest tulip]

oh btw can u post ur revival theme entries to gallery?

[short dirge]

no

[near horizon]

My Trapinch/Krabby hold a rindo berry to weaken his only weakness going from 4x effective to 2x effective

[near horizon]

So maybe it's a good one for story telling x)

[cloud pulsar]

i don't have the energy to sort them by colour so here
larvesta bodies forever!

[timid shore]

omg grubs

[fading lodge]

Back to blank so I can resume/restart on "can there be too much floof".

[timid shore]

i think the mantyke's my fav

[misty acorn]

zorua should have some good storytelling potential I feel like

[fading lodge]

My three zoruas (one main, two alts) tell a story, but not by themselves.

[upper sonnet]

Hero has so many storytelling, i believe, the joltik/tangela is one of them ?

[timid urchin]

Didn’t know you were supposed to name em differently for the contest

[fading lodge]

Not in this contest, because they are already in folders with your name on them.

[timid urchin]

Yeah that’s what I figured

[fading lodge]

Are you the one who did square brackets around your file numbers?

[cloud pulsar]

they are probably talking about the weird []

[timid urchin]

That’s just how you name files so the fusion bot can read them, no?

[fading lodge]

No, you'd name them like 25.405.png (or whatever the number is)

[timid urchin]

Weird I just always named them like this and it worked

[fading lodge]

Learn something new every day. Or night.

In your case, probably don't worry too much. But it may make things easier for you to know how everyone else numbers their files.

[timid shore]

i dont think the game can read them if they are in sq brackets

[timid urchin]

I think the guide for uploading sprites that I read said to name em like this that’s why I do it

[timid shore]

??? they dont?

[timid urchin]

I‘ve been uploading sprites for 5 months and all of them are in game and working as far as I know

[timid shore]

there's an example right afterwards

[fading lodge]

Oh, I get it. They had them in square brackets as [head].[body].png. The whole thing with the brackets is what is replaced.

Probably the sprite managers rename the files for the game packs.

[timid shore]

can you upload one of your sprites here rn. i think discord auto removes the []s

but google drive doesnt

your sprites in #sprite-gallery is formatted correctly

[timid urchin]

Huh interesting but good to know I‘ll just name em without the brackets from now on

[fading lodge]

NP. I can imagine that can be confusing. NBD.

Now, my mega floof... that's a big deal and annoying to deal with.

[timid shore]

do so here for consistent sake too. i think you can delete and reupload in your own folders

[timid urchin]

I mean so people name their sprites in way weirder ways as far as I have seen

[fading lodge]

Certainly does happen. Don't stress, ultimately, you are fine.

[timid shore]

there's an example folder within the drive that shows you how to format your entries tho. it's best to follow along.

and yeah, just tested it out. discord does auto-removes [] from filenames. weird. google drive keeps them.

[fading lodge]

First batch of "round spots" found in my mega floof.

[misty acorn]

Now we know why Kiwi is so busy all the time

[timid urchin]

Gotta give em some work

[thin dove]

...huh??? wait a minute was that charmander ever submitted to the gallery? i thought it got archive

[upper sonnet]

I do not know, i looked just at each folder for see the most entries :p

[thin dove]

meanwhile i slowly have....more

i'm almost double digits after finally being free to sprite some contest stuff now that the team rush is over

and half of them (i think? the exeggcute's weird) are custom bases which i almost never do normally so if nothing else i got out of my comfort zone to inflict manmade horrors upon IF

trying to get farther in my joltik/totodile but it's just making me stress out because hands

...wait this is missing a guy

there we are. and that tips the "base sprite/scratch sprite" scale over to scratch sprite

[upper sonnet]

Joltik/totodile, this is simple, just add the quadra eyes, add fur, modify a bit the mouth and you are done. If this is more cute than a totodile, this is a win. (A bit hard because it is already cute)

Like i have do with piplup

[thin dove]

i was trying to do some quad hands and it uh

it's kind of looking like a cluttered wreck, the wrists

so instead i'm revamping my balloon in the meantime

hopefully it isn't cheating if i use a scratch head i made before the contest

[sterile pasture]

We're allowed to use custom bases

That's using a base, right?

[thin dove]

yeah, i've just been going "but what if I draw my own base" for so many of these to get experience with trying to make different totodile head angles

speaking of bases i'm looking for the perfect fusion to use your other 2 bases you made so that i used all 3 of your bases at least once ^_^
