[silver solar]

Wait

[slow gyro]

@tall moss what about you giving us 5 more days to make entries?

[silver solar]

Collage

Its too late to brain i mixed up my c words

[slow gyro]

So I have time to achieve 120 entries

[mint lava]

if i get another fusion in i can make a collage

[silver solar]

Tbh i might as well make a collage of all my sprites

Minus alts

[fading lodge]

Thanks for the feedback Kiwi!

[mint lava]

im using a different software this time

[olive echo]

I will be making one more sprite

Might as well have 2 entries minimum. I am just real slow lol

[cloud pulsar]

no way we are reaching 2000

[tall moss]

at the start of the comp we had 100 sprites a day 👀

[cloud pulsar]

peopla have been making daily sprites for a whole month they must be tired

[fading lodge]

Now, I feel challenged to make more sprites! I'm not sure what to do!

[tall moss]

more sprites!

[mint lava]

Progress

[plush vale]

what was a runner up

[mint lava]

like

second

[slow gyro]

I have to finish my hw first

[mint lava]

i need more time

maybe actually

its a maybe

[slow gyro]

3 more days would be enough so we could achieve 2000

[mint lava]

ye

[slow gyro]

Tbh, giving us 3 more days could also motivate the people to do a last bunch of sprites

[mint lava]

example: me

im speedrunning this beldum/good boi (growlithe) fusion

[versed ridge]

Me with my singular submission:

[plucky arch]

glances at my 113 day streak, where ive post at least one, sometimes up to 20, sprites a day for the whole year so far

[mint lava]

Ideas for what to put in the red circle

ITS SO SMALL

[slow gyro]

Don’t you wanna do another? So we could achieve 2000

[versed ridge]

I have no time

College and SV are keeping me busy

Mostly the former

[slow gyro]

Lol

[versed ridge]

I hope i can get atleast something out of this

[mint lava]

same

maybe i win an award

[versed ridge]

My 1 submission is a meme idk if I’m winning anything or not

[slow gyro]

I hope to win something (apart from the most sprites lol)

But I guess everyone does

[versed ridge]

The last stretch goal should be “least sprites submitted” 🥹

[slow gyro]

I think there are more than one person with just one

So the winner would be someone with 0

[versed ridge]

[mint lava]

Guys opinions

[versed ridge]

I hope gets voted for main sprite

[versed ridge]

Neck feels kinda off idk

[mint lava]

show

i can barely see myself

[tight quest]

Maybe more shoulder?

[thin dove]

i hope we get a few more days of the contest, i'm still trying to fix up the chinchou

[fading lodge]

Good luck convincing Kiwi. I don't think extending is happening.

[mint lava]

?

i made it bigger

i have a great idea for a porygon(or)beldum/sunkern

[tight quest]

Like a shoulder in front of the neck. Though it works without it
Bigger definitely helps looking at it.

[mint lava]

So kinda like this?

I FORGOT TO REZISE IT

[tight quest]

Hm. No the first one is better

[mint lava]

Okay other idea

It’s another fusion

[shy river]

Make some threads in #1050404143807873157

Dont post them here

[teal grove]

Alright i at least have entries for the cutie award

[upper sonnet]

I have entries only for the cutie award, i believe, ah ah xD

[odd garnet]

Just randomized mons for Little cup entries and the results are... well

CURSED

xD

No Feebas x Aipom fusions so I made them and well....... hehehe

[cloud pulsar]

oh god

[valid nacelle]

Nice.
I made one for Visual Storytelling, but my latest one I'm working on I just honestly looked at a certain combo and said, "Forget it. I'm gonna make a dogfish."

[slow gyro]

I might have a chance

[chrome trench]

Already my condolences for the poor sods that have to dig through 2000 entries to set up contest polls 🫡

[quartz locust]

Is it alright if I make a pre-evo of an old collab for this one? 😄

@tall moss Just wondering what you think? 🙂

Still a WIP, for reference (gonna change the lower jaw's colour, probably). 😄

[upper sonnet]

i have forget yamask for the lc in the joltik chart, ah ah, ty

[teal grove]

You are mad

[torn dawn]

I hope so badly that this sprite will be allowed as a main in this coloration

[chrome trench]

https://tenor.com/view/ill-allow-it-ken-jeong-korean-mexican-hat-gif-5187167

Not that I have any authority

[honest tulip]

It’s just heavily inspired and nobody touched the sprite u’re working on so

[torn dawn]

if you quickly react with in #is-my-sprite-ready I fulfilled my duty and can post it before anyone can say something else

[mint lava]

[tall moss]

yeah thats fine

[void pagoda]

there is a contest at the moment?

[misty acorn]

#special-contest

[timid shore]

only 2 days left to join

[void pagoda]

thx

[plucky arch]

3 remain

[hollow gull]

Going for visual storytelling

Anyone know what's going on here?

[buoyant bough]

setting up lanterns? will-o-the-wisp?

[hollow gull]

Lanterns yea

Buddhist Obon Festival

[hollow gull]

Any advice on how to make that more obvious

[buoyant bough]

I mean they look like lanterns to me - I guess if you wanted to specifically reference the festival you could give the lanterns little platforms like they have in the ref image, and make the boat one look more like the image, but I think it reads ok

[crude cedar]

Hello!! Me again
I noticed people resize the sprites so they won't be too tiny, how do you guys do that without losing quality and what size is okay for the context?

[thin dove]

generally i work in 96 by 96 to start

usually smaller depending on mon

pretty much any time i resize the outline becomes wack so i go in and fix it manually

[crude cedar]

Oh yeah i imagine it's what I'll do too since photoshop do be like that

[buoyant bough]

you start at 96x96 then increase the image size to 288x288, use nearest neigbour mode when doing this to keep things from being blurry!

[crude cedar]

Tysm

[buoyant bough]

I use PS as well so if you need any more help lmk c:

[crude cedar]

Thank you Avian, that's great to know

[thin dove]

oh god resizing in PS, good luck, anytime i try nearest neighbor in Paint.net it still fucks everything up

[buoyant bough]

PS is fairly well behaved when it comes to pixel art when using the correct settings :>

[timid echo]

Hi
When’s the LC going to end exactly?

Gotta get in my last minute sprite lol

[grand tusk]

there's a time in #special-contest that shows the end date/time based on your timezone

its in the latest message

[wind topaz]

I’m gonna make some more Natus

[silver solar]

You have at least 24 hours

[zinc lion]

are all lc entries eligible for this choice award or only lc entries made after?

[sterile pasture]

All entries are eligible

[zinc lion]

that's a relief

[timid shore]

oh god i almost before realising it's already past midnight here and i still actually have 24+ to go instead just just like. 9 hours

[sterile pasture]

Idk that I'll be making any last minute entries. Three is pretty good by my standards

[timid shore]

im making an even dozen since i suddenly got some ideas

not trying for a baker's dozen tho. 12 is also my fav number so it works

[lilac skiff]

I think I'll see if I can whip up a last-minute entry or two

[buoyant bough]

i'm squeezing out one more p:

[silver solar]

All my squeezing energy is going to polish for the sprites i have left i spritework

Gotta get these all done! Get my entries in proper

[plucky arch]

i just counted, there are 203 participants

i think for the random award kiwi should put them all on a wheel, and spin it, slowly eliminating people one by one on stream until the winner is decided

[silver solar]

Well isnt that award the last one picked? For people who didn’t get any other award

So it’s gonna be whittled down a little before that

[plucky arch]

well itll be 8 less at most

or, wait, 11 less, if we count top 3 i think

oh im so excited for this contest

so much build up

i gotta post all my LCs

[silver solar]

Yeah, like sanding down the entries

Which isnt a good order to do things

Sanding should be the last step

[vast lark]

ehrmmm how d dod dod i join the contesttts

[thick jolt]

read #special-contest

[worldly fractal]

make an entry, put in spritework then sprite gallery as usual, and then make a folder with your discord name in a google drive, the link for it is in #special-contest , and put the entry in

[vast lark]

aaand the contest right now is cutie right?

just checking, im stupid, so im taking precautions

[silver solar]

Contest is little cup

[worldly fractal]

no it's Little cup

[silver solar]

Cutie is a choice award within the contest

[vast lark]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[quartz locust]

#is-my-sprite-ready is probably the best place to ask questions about this sort of thing. 😄

My wacky team of rogues is complete. 🙂

[crude cedar]

sorry! will keep it in mind

[quartz locust]

You replied to the wrong one, but it's all good, don't worry about it. 😃

[simple edge]

hihi\

[silver merlin]

its awesome seeing you sprite fusions again

idk it feels like its been a while since ive seen your fusions

[grand tusk]

if we go by sprite gallery, last time he submitted one was March 2nd

[quartz locust]

And excluding Togekiss ones, it's my first one since the 5th of January. 🙂

[grand tusk]

Thats kinda funny, last time I submitted mine was March 22nd, then i also stopped and posted again yesterday

My reset also reset Blaquaza

I'll take credit then for Blaquaza starting new sprites

[valid nacelle]

One last addition brings my band of misfits for the Little Cup to 9 members!
Learned a lot on the way too!

[pastel hollow]

surprisingly few of the fusions in this contest are notably cute

its worth making some ones to contest for that award :>

[grand tusk]

there's like 1700 entries

[viral venture]

how do you join these contests; is there somewhere to sign up or what?

[grand tusk]

I feel there's a bunch of cute ones you missed

[grand tusk]

#special-contest message

it's all right here

link to google drive in that comment

you make a folder with your discord name and put your sprite there

it still has to go through regular spritework stuff first on #1050404143807873157

[viral venture]

so it's a fun thing that anyone could join?

[slow gyro]

Yes but it ends in a day lol

[fading lodge]

I'm excited to see how this contest goes for everyone. May the odds ever be in your favor.

[viral venture]

yeah, i figured i missed out on this one 🤣 i only saw hype for this game about a week back

[grand tusk]

yes, just like the normal spriting for fusions

[viral venture]

well good luck for everyone then, i'll try and join next one

[slow gyro]

You can still do one sprite lol

[viral venture]

potentially, but less than 24-48hrs in middle of the week 🤣
i really dont think i'll make one in that time

[slow gyro]

Oh well

||Hides his 6 sprites made between last night and this morning||

[cloud pulsar]

jii san is a mod now

[buoyant bough]

you are a machine

[viral venture]

i wish hahahahahaha

[fading lodge]

Yup! Now I can enforce rule 1. You will play nice with each other!

[slow gyro]

I’m not in danger, I’m the danger

[buoyant bough]

you are the one that sprites

[fading lodge]

Watch, hero's going to be like "Man, I did so many sprites for the contest, time to take a spriting vacation with my winnings."

[slow gyro]

Perhaps

[grand tusk]

you think so? Not if I layer it under a bunch of irony, you poopoo-dooby head

As long as everyone knows its a joke, I can get away with it, mwahaha

[mint lava]

[silver solar]

Oh hey, congrats on being a mod now

[late sequoia]

Mhmm congrats!

[silver solar]

I’ve whittled my work down to 18 sprites left too (17 contest)

I made at least one oopsie

[valid nacelle]

So...
About my Gastly/Porygon fusion...
I almost panicked when a fusion video I watched showed a Gastly/Porygon fusion and thought I made the error of making a sprite for a fusion that already had one.
Luckily the one I saw was for the Porygon head, so I think I'm in the clear...

[cloud pulsar]

my last little cup entries are in #1050404143807873157 now i just wait

[late sequoia]

Need to figure out one more to hit my twenty mark

[fading lodge]

Bagon/Chimchar

[molten crater]

that's just bagon with actual hands

[late sequoia]

To match your Chimchar/Bagon I see lol. Interesting combo but not my taste. Need to figure it out on my own so I can get it done in a day. If I take suggestions I tend to take longer, but thank you!

[fading lodge]

Not a problem, just trying to help.

[slow gyro]

Wait what? It ended 53 years ago?

[mint lava]

Ye

[digital valley]

Then what competition have we been running here?!?! Did we time travel???

[mint lava]

Ye

It’s the year 207

2076

[digital valley]

Shouldn’t it be like 1970?

[mint lava]

But fr @tall moss the hell did you do with the time thing

[mint lava]

Brain isn’t working ig

[sleek seal]

just made a sprite for a fusion to submit to the contest and not only someone already did it but they also submitted it to the contest

banishing myself to the shadow realm rn

[slow gyro]

You can still submit it lol

The only thing is that it wasn’t made before the contest

[tall moss]

you can submit it only stuff from before the comp started is off limits

[digital valley]

There are a few dupe entries. I think there are like 3 different Bonsly/Chinchou

[tall moss]

wdym?

[late sequoia]

Oh no, it's going further and further back

[digital valley]

oh god

[slow gyro]

I was going to say the same lol

[mint lava]

OH HEAK NAOSH

[buoyant bough]

ages rapidly

[mint lava]

THE TIME MACHINE IS BREAKING Y’ALL

[fading lodge]

*twilight zone music starts

[sleek seal]

[slow gyro]

Idk you, but I’m inmortal

[mint lava]

THE TIME MACHINE BROKE

[slow gyro]

Cause I haven’t died yet

[mint lava]

Same

[slow gyro]

So that means I’m immortal

[buoyant bough]

farewell

[slow gyro]

[fading lodge]

That reminds me, I need to learn how to do that cool date thing.

[mint lava]

@tall moss bro fix it or I’m throwing you out of the Time Machine /j

[limber venture]

https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/

Hey, for anyone who's sad about not being able to make a thousand fusions a day once the contest is over, you should toooootally come check out #1100198479772532847

[fading lodge]

<t:1307810700:R> Testing this cool thing.

Neat!

[buoyant bough]

it was all a ploy i see

[hollow gull]

Not at all surprised by this

[wide knoll]

mergemay is very awesome and cool

[thin dove]

"please submit contest entries that have to do with [the past/future]"
me: (looks at the little crocodino i made literally earlier today"
me:

[mint lava]

Kiwi for that I’m throwing you out of the Time Machine

[tall moss]

[mint lava]

[wide knoll]

<t:262310700:R>

[mint lava]

Get kicked out

[wide knoll]

he haw

[limber venture]

kiwi if the deadline gets extended so it bleeds into mergemay im gonna be mildly upset

[mint lava]

Kiwi gets kicked out

[fading lodge]

I'm a mod, and I can't even kick Kiwi out of the time machine. Kiwi is here to stay.

[thin dove]

what if i make entries that fit both mergemay and the contest 🙂

[mint lava]

I own the Time Machine >:(

[mint lava]

It’s separate to here

[wide knoll]

i will also be very upset but i cant do much about it

[versed ridge]

Time to make iron valiant but a child

[plush vale]

glad we still know down to the exact minute

[wide knoll]

😡

[crude cedar]

Time to make PLA Meme

[stiff valley]

Bruh what

[ivory olive]

wait did it actually break

[plush vale]

yeah totally

[mint lava]

Yep

Kiwi broke it and got kicked out of the Time Machine

[thin dove]

i forgor

[knotty sphinx]

Time Machine

[mint lava]

No more Time Machine for kiwi

[knotty sphinx]

Ok

[slow gyro]

Lol

[valid nacelle]

So, the theme is Ancient Times and the Future, huh? That's more of a challenge, but I'll try what I can to help in fixing the time machine!
The only thing is I gotta find a good combo that fits such a theme...

[fading lodge]

Don't know why Cozzy's complaining, it means more time for contest.

[slow gyro]

Im just lacking a MimeJr and a Tyrogue fusion for the contest chart

[fading lodge]

As for me, I think I'm content with my 42 sprites.

[mint lava]

Because they broke the Time Machine

[slow gyro]

So idk if I’ll do a Prehistoric Tyrogue and Future Mime Jr or the oposite way

[golden rapids]

so how does this contest work lol

im dumb

[mint lava]

Someone doesn’t just get away with glitching your award winning invention /j

[slow gyro]

There’s no contest, it ended 13025 years ago

[golden rapids]

zamn

[buoyant bough]

fr tho #special-contest message

[thin dove]

wait, the theme is both ancient times and the future?

i thought it was two separate things

[late sequoia]

Oh no, the deadline, we broke it

[mint lava]

Doggo

Damn it

[fading lodge]

I think the theme is "Best Ancient or Future Pokemon", not Best Future and Best Ancient.

[ivory olive]

The new theme is Scarlet and Violet

[mint lava]

Am I not allowed to post sprites here

[mint lava]

Yes

[plucky arch]

wh, what

god do i have any that apply to that, i rly dont want to mae another one

[mint lava]

I wish I could get the sprite feedback role but I need to be a spriter

[thin dove]

Tee, have you made any fossil pokemon?

oh wait tee

you made slugmas

[limber venture]

you could make sprites for mergemay instead tee

[thin dove]

bend the rules, that's some ancient shit

and cells

cells are ancient af

[plucky arch]

yeah my beldum/swinub coutns i think

we'll say it does

[silver solar]

This isnt kaiju, right?

[pastel hollow]

tfw my belcool is contest invalid and its future theme

[wide knoll]

fat but not kaiju i dont think

[silver solar]

They traded leggy for proper body

[mint lava]

Mmmmm I wish I could make a porygon/plant Pokémon fusion

[slow gyro]

I think I haven’t made any futuristic Pokémon lol

||Specially cause I avoided klink lol||

[pastel hollow]

belcool is my only explicitly 'future' or 'ancient' themed entry

[zinc lion]

My third submission already has an ancient theme so I did it, I fixed the clock you're welcome

[silver solar]

Hmm, i think best i did for ancient is my fossil head

[buoyant bough]

i guessss my yamask/cubone has ancient egyptian theming?? ??? may as well whip up another yamask tomorrow if i cba

[slow gyro]

The first sprite I made for the contest was actually a fossil lol

Cyndaquil/Cranidos

[buoyant bough]

watch hero win every award for covering all the bases

[zinc lion]

I did golett/lileep as ancient as it gets

[slow gyro]

||In a perfect world ||

[buoyant bough]

hey you're at least 100% gonna win the most entries lmao

[pastel hollow]

maybe my lickitung lileep qualifies for ancient horror

[mint lava]

I need plant Pokémon

[plucky arch]

i have a Golett/Mime Jr and a Litwick/Yamask that ig could count

[zinc lion]

If only most edible fusion won, I'd win with mimejr/litwick in a heartbeat

[late sequoia]

I got a few that would count. Some Metroids and currently working on a head crab.

[valid nacelle]

I actually have an idea related to ancient Egypt that doesn't evolve those two! Mixing Geodude and Shinx into... well... the Sphinx!

[slow gyro]

Bellsprout

[plucky arch]

same with Lileep/Aipom

[zinc lion]

Solosis beldum?

[mint lava]

Does it have a fusion with beldum?

[slow gyro]

Idk

[mint lava]

It does

[late sequoia]

Shinx+ Sandshrew might work even better with sandshrews coloration and texture

[slow gyro]

Then want about budew?

[valid nacelle]

Not a bad idea! Plus Sandshrew fits more with the desert theme of Egypt.

[mint lava]

Lemme check

Yep

[wicked wolf]

So. Is it only ancient future sprite now? cause shit. I just finished one and ofc is not related to that

[buoyant bough]

just for fun, we're at 1,829 entries

[mint lava]

I found one

[slow gyro]

It does?

[mint lava]

Ye

[buoyant bough]

nah anything goes still

[wicked wolf]

oh okay. phew

[mint lava]

I CLAIM THIS DONT TSKE IT >:(

[plush vale]

as I understood no this is just one category you can win

[slow gyro]

I once tried to do a helicopter Chikorita/Beldum but wasn’t able to lol

[slow gyro]

Yea but which head?

[buoyant bough]

but if you wanna start up the time machine and get the deadline back then

[mint lava]

Beldum

It’ll be a joke fusion

Well kinda

[slow gyro]

Pin me when you do it, I wanna see it

[mint lava]

Okay

Just don’t take it

I claim it

Take it and I kick you out of the Time Machine >:(

[slow gyro]

Lol

[fading lodge]

I am curious if Kiwi extended the contest and has a number of entries goal or jut a predetermined amount of time the contest remains open.

[valid nacelle]

Just my luck they both have custom sprites... And I just wrote down a sketch for a concept...

[late sequoia]

oh no! Sorry I didn't check first

[tall moss]

man if only you had access to a secret channel where i revealed my plans already

[fading lodge]

Do I? I love discovering secret things I didn't know.

[mint lava]

Leak?

[buoyant bough]

Leek

[slow gyro]

I want to join the secret Chanel

[mint lava]

Same

[fading lodge]

Oh, it wasn't secret, it was Kiwi telling me to pay attention to my job.

[tall moss]

#staff here

[slow gyro]

Then I want to have that job, but without the job parts, just the benefits

[mint lava]

”TOP 10 REAL POKÉMON HORROR STORIES”

[mint lava]

same

[valid nacelle]

This is actually a bit harder than I thought...
A Yamask fusion would be too obvious/common, but how far back in time would count as ancient? Prehistoric? Dark Ages? The Ice Age?

[fading lodge]

I basically tried to keep the server civil, now I just have power to enforce keeping things civil. Rule 1 in my books.

[buoyant bough]

yamask too obvious...

[fading lodge]

Well, in #rules

[fading lodge]

Make a fusion themed around the 70's or 80's.

[valid nacelle]

I meant as in way too common for a theme like this. The first pokemon people would try, I mean.

[tall moss]

a really radical 90s themed entry could win tbh

[buoyant bough]

i only mentioned it bc i already made one and i dont wanna sprite anymore

[tall moss]

some of yall were even born in the 90s

ancient times!!!

[buoyant bough]

i'm old 😔

[tall moss]

how old are you

[ivory olive]

"I was playing Pokemon Silver and when I started I decided to call my rival 'dead' and when I fought him his Chikorita had no eyes. It soon started leaking blood out of its mouth and said 'Jesus is no longer alive' and came out of the screen and murdered me"

[fading lodge]

We'll find out in their staff presentation. Maybe.

[buoyant bough]

lol 26, latter half of the 90s

[tall moss]

im older

[buoyant bough]

so i was 4 when they ended lmao

[fading lodge]

I'm olderer.

[tall moss]

grandpa naka

[valid nacelle]

I just realized something. Is there any pokemon that's eligible for the little cup related to ink or has a monochrome color palate?

[buoyant bough]

that's why he's jii-san

[mint lava]

I NEED A DIAGONAL BELDUM SPRITE

[buoyant bough]

just rotate it, duh

[buoyant bough]

unown?

[tall moss]

slugma is all 1 color, and gloopy not very inky tho

[fading lodge]

Unown isn't LC eligible.

[buoyant bough]

wait

[tall moss]

ah yes unown, the pokemon that evolves

[buoyant bough]

ok time for bed 😂

[mint lava]

I WANT TO BE LAZY, I DONT WANT TO CLEAN UP

[tall moss]

nite nite avian

[buoyant bough]

lol night 👋

[slow gyro]

You if i make an sprite that’s about the 90/80’s, it should count as ancient, right?

[grand tusk]

geodude/deino but its just a meteorite hitting the dinos

[buoyant bough]

stayed up bc of all the excitement but clearly i need to go

[slow gyro]

Lol

[mint lava]

No

Starmie

Or staryu

Someone please tell me that they also don’t know which is which

[grand tusk]

no just you

skill issue

[plucky arch]

Tentacool? thats a literal type of ink thi

[valid nacelle]

I meant like black and white, for colors. If I find a fusion, or one pokemon meeting the criteria, I COULD make a fusion based off of rubberhose cartoons! (If that counts for the ancient theme, that is.)

[late sequoia]

I think Houdour probably has the most mono-chrome coloring of those available in little cup.

[ivory olive]

If yall read this in the "Burger King Foot Lettuce" voice it is 300% funnier

[fading lodge]

Drifloon is purple, and could count for what you are looking for.

[slow gyro]

@tall moss is Swinub/Tyrogue available? Cause I don’t think that’s a Tyrogue body lol

[cloud pulsar]

LMAO

what is this award

[late sequoia]

The extra pixelated Beldum makes me think of the Moon from Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask

[valid nacelle]

From what happened so far, someone broke the time machine, and the only way to fix it is to submit Little Cup entries based on Ancient Times and the Distant Future.
Think Paradox Forms in Scarlet/Violet.

[mint lava]

No diagonal and small beldum sprites

I might post it to the resources when I get spriter

[cloud pulsar]

yoo paradox larvesta

[orchid mortar]

mankey/???

[valid nacelle]

Hmm... Maybe Gligar? Both they and Mojo Jojo have the cape (And sharp fingers/claws). Or you could try a psychic type like Solosis or Natu?

[thin dove]

.....oh my god

i accidentally made a fusion that's perfect for this entry
i am so happy

[livid stratus]

I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the deadline extension, even if it was done in a cool way and my two best sprites fit the theme

Deadlines are deadlines, and by this point I'm more interested in voting to see what everyone made and what cool sprites will win

Then another couple days of delays

But that's just my opinion

I'm sure a lot of others are very happy ab it

[cloud pulsar]

kiwi only wants more fusions for the game 😔
is for the greater good of the game

[livid stratus]

But if we are burnt out and need a little break pushing to do more lowers the quality

[thin dove]

i prefer the contest being extended a little bit, honestly

it gives me a little more time and a little less pressure on trying to make sure my sprites are quality ready RIGHT NOW since i wasn't able to sprite as much the last couple of days

[timid shore]

the intro post still says it ends on 25/26 April. i dont think its been extended?

[fading lodge]

It's extended ish.

[late sequoia]

I had forgotten one of the sprites I had made in my last count, I hit my goal of 20 entries!

I think a healthy mix of cuties and abominations

[grand tusk]

strape in then, deadline extension is a feature of the server

[tall moss]

lmao thats getting swapped around ye

[simple edge]

muk

[valid nacelle]

You meant Grimer, yes?

[grand tusk]

muk is allowed into LC

[odd garnet]

Oh

We're compiling our entries?

[grand tusk]

granted special access

[mint lava]

Beldum/chikorita idea

[thin dove]

no way in fuck is Muk LC eligible

[mint lava]

3 rhymes

[slow gyro]

Hell yea, in that case I’m about to finish my contest chart

Atm I’m working on the futuristic one

It was supposed to be an spoiler

[grand tusk]

I was joking, it's grimer who is the LC mon

[slow gyro]

No wait, now it is lol

[hollow gull]

Hey @tall moss how do you get little cup sprites in if you're not a spriter?

[slow gyro]

Discord glitching lmao

[late sequoia]

Your spriting power is too great for Discord to handle lol

[thin dove]

you submit the sprites to spritework i believe

[mint lava]

You use procreate as well?

[hollow gull]

Has been done

@mint lava how did you submit?

[late sequoia]

#special-contest message You create a folder with your discord name in the Google Drive specified here and upload your finished sprites to it

[mint lava]

Ye

I did that

[slow gyro]

Yes

[mint lava]

How do I make rays of lights

[slow gyro]

Wdym?

[mint lava]

For my sprite

How do I make light

Without transparent

[slow gyro]

Just to let you all know that now it’s ready in #1100234306066071572

[slow gyro]

I believe there’s something in #spriting-guidelines that could help

I’ve seen different a ways of doing those

It depends on what you’re looking for

[mint lava]

Like

[mint lava]

Here

[slow gyro]

Hmm

Just saturated colors I think

Idk

[slow gyro]

Oohh you mean covering the body of chikorita?

[slow gyro]

You could use this as a base

And ask cypress how he did that line

[valid nacelle]

I'm working on my Mime Jr/Grimer fusion based on old cartoons and I have one question to ask...

...

What have I created? 😰

[finite salmon]

How do I submit for the Contest? I found out about it 3 days ago (just got back from a month and a half break) so i'm super late on joining, it's 10pm in my time zone but idk what the server's time zone is so thought i'd hurry just in case. Do I just post it into spritework? Or is there a special channel i'm supposed to put it in? I finally got free time an hour ago to make one and then had to spend some of that time making sure it wasn't one already made by someone else.

[limber venture]

Scroll up in #special-contest

[finite salmon]

oh

i'm blind

[finite salmon]

so don't post it to spritework just post it to the gallery?

[limber venture]

No, that's not what that says

[finite salmon]

"All submissions must be posted to the gallery if youre a spriter already"

[limber venture]

Yes, but you still have to go through spritework as you always do

[mint lava]

I give up Poggers

[finite salmon]

Ok thanks :3

[limber venture]

There is a google drive link to submit entries for the contest

[mint lava]

[finite salmon]

i'm on it, do I just add a new folder with my name?

[limber venture]

Yes

[finite salmon]

kay :3

[gusty frost]

how do i submit?

[uneven radish]

okay, now im worried, is posting something in #1050404143807873157 and putting "(contest entry)" at the end of the post name submitting it correctly? or are there more steps i need to take

[limber venture]

there are more steps

there is a google drive linked in #special-contest

[uneven radish]

ahh ok

sorry, i imagine a lot of people are asking the same exact question ^^;

[gusty frost]

the visual strytelling one already started?, its the same as the baby one? im not sure

[limber venture]

Those are choice awards for the little cup contest, not separate contests

[finite salmon]

thanks again so so much for your help earlier rezza

[thin dove]

oh lord submitting my totodile/totodile caused all of my threads to light up like a christmas tree

HA

HAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHA
They're in! The totodile/totodile self fusion is finally submitted!
god i'm so happy with this sprite and i'm so grateful for everybody that helped me work on it to make the anatomy and such less scuffed

[slow gyro]

@thin dove I’m truly wondering which is your favorite Pokémon

Guess we’ll never know

[thin dove]

i'm working on another pose for them too, in case i needed a more dynamic pose

it doesn't have a lot of swishy special effects, or possibly even a lot of phenominal shading like mope7's sprites, but i'm really fucking happy i got to make this one. it might fit into a few award slots hopefully

[slow gyro]

Im really happy for you bestie

[cloud pulsar]

i think we have some time left

[wind topaz]

But what is the actual deadline, did we just pass it a few minutes ago?

[slow gyro]

I think we still had a day left

But now there’s no way to know

[timid shore]

it ends in 22 hours from now according to what i saw before time got wonky

[fading lodge]

Consider the deadline like 2 days. We should all try to hit 2000 entries.

[wind topaz]

Did Kiwi tell you that?

[fading lodge]

Like someone mentioned, the post said 25th/26th. Although I'm now realizing it is really late 24th (if not already 25th).

I figured saying something concrete would help you Knuckles.

[cloud pulsar]

last larvesta collage

[fading lodge]

Nice.

[fading lodge]

Yeah, my bad. I'm in MDT, so it's only 10:30 for me, but yeah, 24th is gone pretty much.

Either way, I'd work like it's ending tomorrow, but I figure it ends when Kiwi says it does.

[silver solar]

The deadline was somewhere around 9pm my time, technically today

Since its after midnight

[glossy wagon]

the deadline is when universe die 🙂

[thin dove]

i got my Totodile in before any deadlines

[glossy wagon]

waiting for heat death 🙂

[thin dove]

no matter what, my lil one is in this

[graceful plank]

I should probably have put more effort into my submissions. they were mostly pretty lazy

[thin dove]

thematically? idk it was the last one before the deadline, which....

that's....oddly appropriate?

it was my big finale (so to speak) before the entire thing got more days added to it

[valid nacelle]

Got my past themed fusion in! It looked cursed at first, but I learned to love it. ^-^ Even stayed true to my "Rubberhose/Classic" cartoon idea!

[slow gyro]

Im just lacking one last fusion which I already have an idea to finish my contest chart complete

[thin dove]

i think it only looked cursed because we're used to looking at colored sprites

[silver solar]

I have a few more to get done. I think some can be posted now but my head needs to calm doen

[thin dove]

no matter what i did there were some fusions on my end that were impossible (head and body done before contest) so i couldn't fill the entire chart, but i'm still goin'

i think 17 or so in about a week or less, more than half being custom bases, is a serviceable number

[slow gyro]

Hey Toto, which are your 3 fav baby Pokémon?

[thin dove]

not the best, my self-doubt is beating my ass over it actually, but certainly not nothing

[slow gyro]

(For Baby Pokémon I mean the ones available for the contest)

[silver solar]

I only have 1 more that needs major work

[thin dove]

ahh, let me see...

[valid nacelle]

I at least made it to 10 fusions for the contest! That's an achievement in itself.

[thin dove]

i might change this later due to being an indecisive fuck, but right now i'm going with

1. totodile
2. Charmander
3. ...probably Treecko? Treecko and Squirtle have significance to me through strong bonds with others

[slow gyro]

Mines are

1. Turtwig
2. Cyndaquil
   And I’m not sure about the third one, I’d say Anorith

[thin dove]

I like Ampharos but Mareep isn't really in my top 3, weirdly enough. I got attached to Flaaffy and Ampharos via the Gamecube games

which are fun as fuck btw go emulate them

[silver solar]

I was gonna do squirtles

But uh

Fuck that shell

[slow gyro]

Lol

Which are yours Sitten?

[thin dove]

i am most likely the kind of person who will bond with a pokemon over time. If i've played a lot with it it's high up on my love list

[silver solar]

My fusions? I got a ehole damn folder full

[thin dove]

your favorite baby mons

[silver solar]

Oh wait fave babies

[slow gyro]

Tbh my top 3 starters are Turtwig, Cyndaquil and Totodile, mostly cause those are the starters I used the most as a child

[silver solar]

I mean, look at my fusions lol

Sneasel, Vulpix, Shinx

[slow gyro]

Oh I love shinx

[silver solar]

At least for if species

[thin dove]

gotta decide between trying to match people who made totodile fusions and trying to make more fusions i've been thinking about

[slow gyro]

Such a cute guy

[thin dove]

if i had a load of time, i'd match everyone who made a totodile fusion and also make a ton of fusions of the little guys on my list

but something tells me i don't have that luxury

[charred kite]

its so awesome looking through the contest submissions, everyone is so skilled!!

[silver solar]

For non if babies, i am bias

Cats cats cats

[slow gyro]

Yea, everyone could win anything

The folders just look amazing

[silver solar]

Skitty, purrloin, glameow, litten, sprigatito

[thin dove]

i'm submitting a few....variables

[slow gyro]

I hate the last two

[silver solar]

Those are probably my fav “babies”

[thin dove]

the mods will get to decide if they count

i suppose

[slow gyro]

I don’t hate litten actually

[silver solar]

What because they stamd up?

[charred kite]

i just began making sprites a couple days go so its very inspiring to see all the awesome creations!!!

[slow gyro]

But I really dislike incineroar as a Pokémon

[silver solar]

Incineroar wants you to hate him so good

[thin dove]

i don't like how fuecoco stops standing up ;_;

[silver solar]

I do

[thin dove]

i wanna huggie the big guy

if i could i'd reverse that trend between sprigatito and fuecoco

[slow gyro]

That was something negative to them imo, but in the start they didn’t catched my attention

[silver solar]

Totodile, we had 0 fire starters that had a final evo that wasnt bipedal

[slow gyro]

They where just there

[thin dove]

give me another bipedal croc lovely and people get to keep their quadrupedal cat

[silver solar]

Skeledirge finally broke that

[valid nacelle]

I'm gonna join in on the fun and state my favorite baby Pokémon.

1. Yanma
2. Onix
3. Mantyke
   Honorable mention goes to Squirtle, since it was the only starter from the list I had. (Started out in X/Y)
   As well as Solosis, which I love how they made a cell a Pokémon and WOULD of gotten in top 3 if it weren't for the precious bean that is Mantyke.

[silver solar]

Nah, I prefer skeledirge as anything but a biped

[upper sonnet]

It end in 18 hours, the contest ?

[thin dove]

did we ever have a fire starter that wasn't bipedal in the first place?

[silver solar]

There’s plenty

Fennekin, cyndaquil, litten

[thin dove]

oh wait fennekin yeah

[silver solar]

Tepog

[thin dove]

??? cyndaquil is bipedal

[charred kite]

bit of a controversial opinion.... but i think bipedal starters tend to be better (yet my favorite starter is venusaur)

[silver solar]

No, they just stand up a little

[slow gyro]

Well, typhlosion technically isn’t bipedal

[cloud pulsar]

favorite baby mons

1. Larvesta
2. Yamask
3. Hoppip

[thin dove]

tepig counts too and i somehow forgot litten even though we just brought him up seconds ago

[silver solar]

He’s always shown standing, like pikachu he probably only goes down to run

Quilava is much more quadropedal

[thin dove]

how the hell is a cyndaquil anything other than bipedal

[silver solar]

Because he’s just rearing

[thin dove]

he's got such tiny little arms, he can't run on those

[slow gyro]

Some are really good like decyduelle, but I really dislike Emboar and Incineroar

[silver solar]

Hes a little shrew

[thin dove]

yeah he's a shrew but i don't see how that works in an argument with fantastical creatures that have a trend of making bipedal versions of otherwise quadrupedal animals

[charred kite]

tbh i wouldnt say those starters are bad because they are bipedal, but rather because they are flat out ugly HAHA

[thin dove]

i mean, crocodiles ain't bipedal

and yet

[slow gyro]

Perhaps

[thin dove]

we got at least 5 pokemon crocs that are, 6 counting fuecoco

[silver solar]

Either way quilava is quadropedal and typhlosionnis always standing

[charred kite]

like if they were quadrupedal i still would despise them...

[slow gyro]

It stands menacingly

But isn’t bipedal

Cause it doesn’t run in two legs

[thin dove]

do we...have anime footage of typhlosion running?

[slow gyro]

Like bears

[slow gyro]

Yep

In the anime lol

[thin dove]

well gee i sure hope so, it'd be weird to find anime footage of typhlosion in the manga

[charred kite]

imo the only good quadrupedal (final evo) starters are venusaur and swampert

[slow gyro]

Lol

[slow gyro]

I completely disagree

Torterra is God Tier

Swampert

[thin dove]

i don't hate the final evo of fuecoco

[slow gyro]

Serperior (? Idk it doesn’t have legs

[thin dove]

i just wish he could hug me ;_;

[charred kite]

not really a fan of torterra honestly! idk just dont like the design that much

though serperior is a great starter, completely forgot about that one!

[silver solar]

Listen i just like how skeledirge is very solidly quadropedal

[thin dove]

you misspelled quadrupedal

[cloud pulsar]

i didnt made it

[slow gyro]

Skeledigre is Top Tier design

[silver solar]

Its 1am

[cloud pulsar]

i found it in reddit

[slow gyro]

The best of the starters of that gen (I dislike the other two lol)

(But not exactly cause they’re bipedal)

[silver solar]

I like my kitty

[glossy wagon]

I like skeledirge because he is a fire hotdog gator

[slow gyro]

Lol

[glossy wagon]

leg count nonwithstanding hotdog is important

[silver solar]

My kitty is an iberian lynx and needs attention

[thin dove]

[shadow the hedgehog voice] minor spelling mistake. i win

[charred kite]

meowscarada is so awesome

[slow gyro]

The green cat just feels like a mid Evo, I don’t see a final Evo in the design

And I don’t like the legs of it

And the duck is hilarious lol

But just not my type of design

[thin dove]

i did hear the meowscarada is fucking horrendously unbalanced

[glossy wagon]

I was lowkey hoping for a sleepy weed cat final evo but here we are

[thin dove]

something about its signature move actually being total bullshit

[cloud pulsar]

skeledirge can stand up tho. you can still hug him

[thin dove]

i would rather not have le hehe funni weed in pokemon

[silver solar]

Meowscarada has the best signature move of the threw no cap

[slow gyro]

It’s a freaking cat in Spain and it’s not Puss in boots

0/10

[silver solar]

Totodile its a flower bomb

That always hits, always crits

[charred kite]

i think what they meant was that it was overpowered

regardless i love spamming that move LMAO

[silver solar]

Yeah but there’s nothing inherently haha funny weed about the cat

[thin dove]

yeah that bullshit

[slow gyro]

Nintendo likes to make the furry starter overpowered lol

[thin dove]

fucking always hitting and critting and meowscarada's speed is insane

[slow gyro]

Incineroar, Cynderace and the WeedCat

And Greninja, but that was more cause of the anime

[silver solar]

Honestly the galar starters disappointed me

All pure type

[valid nacelle]

Well, it's also Grass/Dark, which means both fighting and bug types can easily send it packing...

[slow gyro]

They have DK and that’s the best of all

[slow gyro]

DK rap starts playing

[silver solar]

Yeah but dk is pure grass

[slow gyro]

If they’re fast enough

[slow gyro]

I do think they should have gotten secondary types

But design wise the only one I like is DK lol

[silver solar]

It was just, so disappointing that half my team was pure

[charred kite]

idk what it is but all the galar pokemon look like they could be sold at ikea

[flat fractal]

None

[slow gyro]

Not a big fan of either football/soccer, rabbits or fire types, so the bunny is like, the mix of everything I dislike

[slow gyro]

Lol

[charred kite]

i like some galarian pokemon but god they have that ikea vibe idk what it is

[slow gyro]

And the water type could have been a really cool monster lizard thing but ended up being a slim 007

[slow gyro]

Oh I freaking love centiskorch

[charred kite]

YESSS

[slow gyro]

And the Applin line lol

[silver solar]

007 is fine

[slow gyro]

Toxtricity

[silver solar]

Because it’s aggressively british

[charred kite]

i really liked sinistea!! has a lot of potential when making it a partner for a trainer oc

[slow gyro]

I disagree lol

[thin dove]

bug types can send it packing?

are there any bug types in that gen that aren't statted so sadly?

[slow gyro]

I miss the animal like starters

Now almost every one is furry bait

[thin dove]

i miss the pokemon that weren't fucking food based

[slow gyro]

Like, no offense on the furrys

[thin dove]

i don't understand the logic behind that, it feels baffling to me

[slow gyro]

But it’s just that it’s not my style

[slow gyro]

Ah yes, Appletun the great

[thin dove]

please stop making your dog also a cinnamon bread bun, this is not a deviantart closed species, it doesn't make sense

[edgy turtle]

Artists are hungry

In multiple ways

[silver solar]

Eh, its a fairy type thing

[slow gyro]

It technically does lol

I love that guy

Looks a lot like my lil dog

[thin dove]

i could barely justify a literal ring of keys

"ohh it's a dog but it's also PART BREAD" is kind of right out

[slow gyro]

A picture of Percy

[thin dove]

good dog

[slow gyro]

Pure bread

[charred kite]

klefki is another fav simply because i have an oc who is a janitor and its an absolutely perfect pokemon for him

[valid nacelle]

Okay, to be fair, I was kinda hoping Klefki would evolve into a lock or something related to keys... I liked them either way.

[silver solar]

I think you jusy gotta accept that food is a part of fairy type

[thin dove]

that's a shite design decision

[slow gyro]

Evolves into Sora

[charred kite]

i disagree i think food pokemon is cute :3

[silver solar]

If you cant accept it, you’re gonna hate more pokemon each gen

[slow gyro]

It depends, but yea

[thin dove]

there have been perfectly fine fairy types that were not food

[slow gyro]

There are some good ones

[silver solar]

Yeah, but food is one aspect of the type

[thin dove]

food feels lazy and unfitting entirely within the world set up

i can't make biological heads or tails out of why a fantastical being would evolve to also be part food like an apple fritter or sourdough bread

[charred kite]

i wouldnt think so but we all have our opinions

[silver solar]

Well for applin it’s genius

[thin dove]

applin is applying mimicry so it's on the fence, leaning passable

[silver solar]

That one isnt even a fairy, but dragon is admittedly the other side of the fairy coin

Much like dark and fighting are two sides of the same coin

[slow gyro]

I don’t get why is Dragon/Grass instead of Dragon/Bug, but I love the designs of the whole line

[silver solar]

Because its not a worm

Its a wyrm

The grass comes from the apple

[slow gyro]

Yea in an Apple

But the Apple isn’t part of it

It’s technically closest to a work than to the Apple

[silver solar]

It becomes part of it, it’s probably already harnessing the plant energy as a little wyrm

[charred kite]

i think it would be interesting if the food pokemon were confirmed to be genetically modified pokemon bred by humans

[pearl latch]

So uh
I forgot when the contest ends
Is it today or tomorrow?
I guess it depends on timezones
How many hours left?

[valid nacelle]

I'd rather not go down that Bunnelby hole about Pokémon having parts that weren't originally part of them...

[cloud pulsar]

because they dont wanna make a fucking dragon/bug type
FUCK YOU GAMEFREAK

[silver solar]

Pokémon integrate other things into their biology all the time

Even as early as gen 2 we had steel coat evos

[timid shore]

in 21 hours, or thereabouts

[pearl latch]

Oh good
Thanks :)

[thin dove]

idk, steel makes more sense to me than food

[torn dawn]

Also! Worms are not insects!

[thin dove]

magnemite is a steel ball weirdo

might need to dip from this convo to keep spriting! (and also see if i fucked something up my ribs hurt and i can feel them when i breathe ow)

[charred kite]

oh shit hope youre doing alright :(

[thin dove]

fuck if i know

it's been a semi-recurring thing for...a while

not usually in this spot though

[charred kite]

good luck with the sprites too!! hope your ribs get better soon

aughh thats concerning :(

[thin dove]

thank ya!

[valid nacelle]

Now I can't help but be worried for Totodile. I hope they'll be okay...

[valid nacelle]

I'd say something to contradict that but.... Yeah they aren't insects. They're invertebrates. Plus Orthworm exists.
(I like the design, but why only steel type instead of steel/bug I'll NEVER understand.)

[torn dawn]

In my heart, worms are insects though

[valid nacelle]

Agreed.

[slow gyro]

@torn dawn what are you doing awake, isn’t it like, really late in there?

Or is it already the morning?

[torn dawn]

It’s morning 😄

8:33am

[slow gyro]

Lol here’s 11:37 pm

Ima about to go to sleep, once I finish my hw

[silver solar]

I think, i have 60 fusions in the folder?

And 16 more in spritework?

[torn dawn]

It’s funny how often we are online at the same time

Given the time zone difference

[silver solar]

Its 3am for me i just have bad sleep habits

[torn dawn]

Oh ._.

Are you able to sleep in tomorrow?

Sitten I love your little cup sprites so much

[thin dove]

i tweaki a bunni

[crude cedar]

I can't wait to see the contest pools 🤩

[near horizon]

Same, but, if i understood right, there's gonna be one poll for each spriters (except hero that will have more than 1 because the bot can't do a poll with this many choices) to determine which of there sprite is going in winner bracket and in the loser bracket

[crude cedar]

Lol 100 are a lot

I stopped at 50

I Just want to see all of them 🤩

[thick harness]

I think the polls can only fit 40 pokémon each, so Hero's actually going to have like three polls

maybe even four if they get to 121 pokémon 👀

[near horizon]

he's at 112 so i don't think he'll reach 121

[thick jolt]

1121

[near horizon]

there was a one that wasn't supposed to be here x)

[thick harness]

yeah he's at 112

[odd garnet]

I only reached 30 cause I got sick of spriting Little cup mons for a while and needed to make more Roserades

Also the fact that all of my sprites are all custom poses making them longer to make XvX

[chrome trench]

Im pretty sure I made at least 90 entries or so for the cup

[cedar hatch]

how long have we actually got for the ancient/futuristic deadline?

[tall moss]

(contest deadline is extended til we hit 2k entries )

[upper sonnet]

But we are only at 1750, no ?

We will never reach 2k entries (ok maybe not, but will be very slow)

[tall moss]

we were at 1860 when i checked last night

[buoyant bough]

1885 now lol

[wind topaz]

Kiwi wants to spend several months judging contest entries

[silver solar]

Yes! Ill be goong back to sleep soon

[zinc lion]

Why do people make so many entries if only two move on to later stages

[vital stirrup]

for fun

[tall moss]

and choice awards

[chrome trench]

I just like spriting

and I didnt realize someone has to set up polls per person, so Im sorry poor person who has to go through 100 of my sprites

[mint lava]

this contest is the reason i have 2 sprites

[gray igloo]

What?!

[mint lava]

huh

[slow gyro]

To be the very best, like no one ever was

[torn dawn]

I made 18 sprotes for the contest

I am happy

and excited to see which get voted on

[thin dove]

god i feel you on the custom poses, i'm almost to 20 if we're not counting a tiny bit of alts because i wanted to make nice custom bases for the contest (and that's with some of the sprites still not being 100% custom sprites, some people had really nice custom bases i wanted to use)

if nothing else it's good custom base practice

until we hit 2k entries...

well if people wanna rest up and let me make 250 totodiles

[slow gyro]

I think I’ll,be doing one last entry for the contest

Just to complete the contest chart lol

[thin dove]

(please let me make more totodiles for my sanity, my brain is still screaming at me for the time loss from the contest coming at a crossroads time and it won't let me be )

[rotund herald]

hi sorry for the question. i've done a fusion that is eligible for the little cup contest. but i've not posted it as entry. can i post it now as entry? what i should do?

[timid shore]

a. when did you made it and b. does it already have an alt that was in #sprite-gallery before 25th march?

[rotund herald]

a. i've made it 17/04 b. i've posted the fusion in gallery on 19/04 i dont understand what do you mean with "alt"

[timid shore]

oh, apologies. alt just mean if someone else has made a custom sprite for the same exact fusion

[rotund herald]

oh sorry! no no one i think, i searched by number + by name

[silver solar]

Check aegide website too

Be extra sure

[timid shore]

if you are talking about onix/piplup i think you're good to submit it

[rotund herald]

yes! i was exactly the one i had in mind. to submit it what should i do?

[timid shore]

#special-contest message there's a google drive in that link. set up a folder shown like Example#1234 and you're good to go!

lemme know if you need help that's more detailed tho

[rotund herald]

oh! thank you so much! i feel really dumb to do not understand something so basic

[timid shore]

nah. you just havent asked the right questions yet.

[thin dove]

what the fuck?

paint has transparency? since when?

[slow gyro]

Yes

[rotund herald]

what the point of life then?

[thin dove]

but if it just ruins it once it saves i guess it doesn't have transparency

[timid shore]

to find something new to do every day

[thin dove]

but this was originally a mspaint image in the first place, where was the transparency to start

i'm just gonna set that aside for later and ask for more tweak/feedback on my buneary and work on the zubat and hopefully make some more guys

[timid shore]

omg 1900 entries exactly

1900 with 210 participants, to be precise.

wait do we count alts or no

[silver solar]

Idk, I haven’t been adding any

[buoyant bough]

there were 77 alts in total last time i checked (a couple hours ago)

[timid shore]

gotcha.

[thin dove]

oh god am i gonna be able to eat today with all the entries coming in

[timid shore]

and then there's 55 participants who only submit one entry each, so that means 55 less polls to go through

(since for two entries you still need to run a poll to determine who goes in which bracket)

[silver solar]

Meanwhile i need 3 polls 😅

[timid shore]

...wait, how many options per poll?

[silver solar]

Apparently 40

[timid shore]

okay im well under the limit lol 😅

[buoyant bough]

thought it was 20? did it increase?

[silver solar]

I’m going off this

[thick harness]

Oh i'm probably wrong, it could've been 20

[buoyant bough]

.

[thick harness]

Yeah I misremembered, sorry

[buoyant bough]

yeah nw just wanted to make sure

[buoyant bough]

just want to make sure, you know you need to upload things to the drive to enter, right? you don't have a folder there and with so many entries once you make one you'd probably end the competition lol

[silver solar]

I’m sure the competition wont end until at least 9pm my time, if only because thats the original deadline lol

[chrome trench]

Wheres the drive hiding

[buoyant bough]

in the first post about the competition #special-contest message

[chrome trench]

Yep, handt noticed

I think I singlehandedly closed the contest '^^

[buoyant bough]

welp, you nearly didn't enter at all c':

[chrome trench]

Buzzerbeater

[grand tusk]

I should make a second entry just so I have a poll with myself so I can finally win the first round my sprite is in

[timid shore]

holy heck you've been schmooving

[chrome trench]

I have been

@tall moss Sorry for destroying your contest end prognosis :p

[buoyant bough]

kiwiiiIIIIIII

[thin dove]

WAIT ONE SECOND

I GOTTA ADD TWO MOOOOORE

[thick harness]

Wait but some of those are alts right? Do alts count towards the total goal?

[timid shore]

wait now the end date is earlier than usual

[chrome trench]

I dont have a single alt that I added

[slow gyro]

I HAVENT UPLOADED 10

[buoyant bough]

this is technically before the original deadline so i think it should be fine?? 😅

[slow gyro]

HOLUP

[chrome trench]

CHAOS

[thick harness]

I think it's fine, the original deadline was later anyway

[timid shore]

ROGUE AGENT ALERT

[chrome trench]

We're probably gucci

[grand tusk]

I think my plan already failed

[limber venture]

imagine if kiwi ends it earlier

[grand tusk]

from the looks of it

[chrome trench]

Cmon Kiwi

https://tenor.com/view/emperors-new-groove-lead-you-down-the-path-that-rocks-lead-guide-path-gif-4781330

[limber venture]

that would be so fucking funny

[timid shore]

there are like 77 alts right so we should still be okay

[buoyant bough]

i'm pretty sure we've been counting alts in entry amount up until now tho

i have counts for both with and without, but that's more for in case kiwi didn't wanna count them for stuff like choicen'ts

anyways i'm gonna wait until it's fully over before doing any more data logging lol i literally just did one

[delicate crypt]

Oh lord guess I got mine in just in time

[grand tusk]

Kiwi should do it purely for the humor of it

remind everyone who rules the contest

[tall moss]

well that was quick

[buoyant bough]

there are time travel shenanigans afoot (but i don't think kiwi would be that mean )

[grand tusk]

Kiwi you gonna take that from avian? Show em you can be whatever you wanna be

[thin dove]

I GOT MINE IN ANYwaY

[limber venture]

you submitted after we hit 2000? smhhhhhh

[thin dove]

idk when i submitted but it was close

i submitted them during the chaos of if it was legal, and if that totodile isn't legal because of that bullshit i'm going to throw foam bricks at some old church

[limber venture]

im taking away all your roles

[thin dove]

[mint lava]

one more day

[cloud pulsar]

can i still make one more?

[mint lava]

poggers

[buoyant bough]

oh thank god i can sleep tonight lmao

[chrome trench]

24 HOURS

thats what Kiwi stated

[thin dove]

jesus man you should've waited

[midnight pumice]

Huh, how did we get to 2k so fast?

[tall moss]

24 hours 15 minutes

[thin dove]

you should've waited until we were so close and then did your 100 dump, that would've been funny as fuck

[buoyant bough]

someone uploaded all 99 of their sprites at once

[chrome trench]

Because I thought I was uploading all this time, but I completely missed the drive

So I went a lil silly with it

[short dirge]

2000 god damn entries

[short dirge]

that's like the epitome of "lol good luck winning"

[midnight pumice]

Ok, do we get an extra choice award for 2k?

[mint lava]

we should

[short dirge]

1 entry is 0.05% of the total entries

[buoyant bough]

i'm assuming it's ancient/future?

or was that not an actual one lol

[thin dove]

now i gotta decide if i finish that chinchou or finish another sprite :despair:

[tall moss]

yeh thas the 2k stretch goal award, i "announced" it early so people would actually have time to make sprite for it

[thin dove]

"early" with 100 sprites being dumped roflmao

[buoyant bough]

nice

[thin dove]

"let's make future/past themed mons to power up the time machine!"
user: (throws 100 different probably not related to past/future theme fusions at the time machine until it works)

[timid shore]

time to move on to mergemay wheeee

[thin dove]

the equivalent of the engi banging on the machine until it works

[stiff valley]

i love that gif lmao

[grand tusk]

its fine, those were in the "not so distant" past and future

[upper sonnet]

Wait!! I just come back, who has made 150 entries in the last 5 hour ?!

[glacial garnet]

for the contest do we just make our own folder in the drive with out discord id?

[grand tusk]

all sprites count for it because they were made in the past

easy peasy

[upper sonnet]

Also, Kiwi will need to check every sprite for check than nobody has posted the sprite before the start of the contest ?

2000 (minus alt) sprites to check ?

Outch

[buoyant bough]

supercalifra didn't know you had to upload to the drive so i pointed them there, they had 99 entries

[upper sonnet]

Oh, someone nearly beat hero ?!

[buoyant bough]

seems like it! (tho hero said he had another 10 again so i don't think he's gonna be beat any time soon )

[upper sonnet]

Well, Kiwi will need to wait these ten before end the contest, i suppose ? x)

[cloud pulsar]

me on my way to speedrun a sprite and a spritework post so i can submit a last entry

[buoyant bough]

there's an actual deadline! check #special-contest

(its basically in 24 hours)

[upper sonnet]

Heh, i need to finish my last one

Because i have believed we have a bit of more time for finish the 100% joltik head for LC

But we lack two for finish 😦

Poor duskull

[cloud pulsar]

i wake up and was like im going to do a larvesta like slither wing for the past/future theme and pum
we already done with the contest

[upper sonnet]

Nobody love duskull

[buoyant bough]

duskull heads are 100% complete they're plenty loved lol

[thick harness]

Aww, if nobody else does Joltik/Duskull i'd happily make that

[upper sonnet]

joltik/duskull is disliked

[tall moss]

thankfully i have some software that can do that automatically
