Oh no. You have shown me horrors.
klink/torchic is already gore lmao i remember that sprite
i was fully expecting a 'can your pet' reference from it 
Ive got a good idea but it only works if sfx is allowed
And if we get the official announcement 
just do gardevoir meta
Yeah; I really like my idea, though i'm worried other people might have thought of the same idea somehow 😅
i have a kind of idea ish
I've got an idea I think'll be unique
I was really hoping that Klinklang would win u_u
but oh well that means I get to post what I was going to use anyway lol
Right now I’m thinking Entei/Jirachi. But there’s a few other body fusions that I think could be fun. Might do a head later on if we’re allowed multiple submissions tho ^^
I'm going with Jirachi/Kabutops. Probably won't do a second entry, but I'd try some kind of Jirachi body if I did.
I was thinking of doing a jirachi body fusion and i am thinking of doing a jirachi head fusion if we are allowed multiple submissions
I'm 100% doing Jirachi/Fearow, might also do Fearow/Jirachi or Jirachi/Joltik if mulitple entries are allowed
grips my little guy
uhg i have to actually sprite for this contest dont i
and i Just did Hypno/Jirachi
and Spiritomb/Jirachi too
Can we please get a formal announcement
heat death of contests reached with jirachi
Clearly the contest will be officially announced after LC ends
So shortly before the heat death of the universe
i have so many potential little Buddies to make i'm so excited
So are we allowed to start working on the sprites yet?
Of course, no one would be able to tell when you started working on it, but I would refrain from posting any until the contest starts
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, people want to officially know if sfx is allowed
you wish 😛
if we reveal that people are gonna start working
I hope the annoncement is made tomorrow so I can start before returning to work 
I hope this time there'll be examples of what is and isn't allowed for sfx lmao
literally people are already working 
Yay
On my way to do the sprite with the most SFX of all time 🫡
The sprites put in the drive should also be in #sprite-gallery right?
lol
Ideally yes but it doesn't really matter
do we just summit the finished sprites to the drive (i havent started yet just wondering)
ok so sfx or no? the crossed out then jk makes me think no sfx but also sfx
Yes
alright (and I checked the pins but didn't find my answer
)
You can use sfx, it's the only thing jirachi has
gotcha
HERE WE GO BOYS
ahhh man it's only 2
should i make 2 totodile lines, or a totodile and something else? hmm...
Also, even though you're only meant to sprite after the announcement or whatever, I think it's fair that sprites started after jirachi officially won the poll count
i mean, is it cheating if i do a contest thing that was meant to be mergemay? i don't wanna be cheating, that totodile should've been done ages ago
Basically you guys got a bit of extra time because we're lazy
Fichissimo
Lol, thanks for volunteering to head it rezza!
Can we get some colombian flag reacts for the jirachi comp
For contests, can you use fusions that already have sprites in-game?
Yes
Yes
Wonderful
Just assume regular spriting rules unless told explicitly otherwise (Such as no collabs)
How many submissions are allowed per person, 1?
2, it's written 
I'm fucking blind sorry
I took melatonin 2 minutes ago seems like it's already kicking in
if i make jirachi fusion where should i post it (other than spritework)?
thanks!
Also make sure the filename includes by your username when it's in the drive
Not just the numbers
so should i call it [number].[number]EtaCarBomba?
Probably [number].[number] by EtaCarBomba
oh ok thanks for help
wait are we allowed to do sprites that already have a custom sprite for this one?
.
not that far above, the answer is yes
sfx allowed
you FOOLS
lmao nw
choice awards happening again?
Probably just the one spotlight
Choice awards seem like more of a special contest thing
I'm sorry if I sound dumb for this question but we can 100% use special effects right?
I just wanna make sure
yes
ok
what do the numbers represent?
IF dex numbers of the Head and body like any other sprite
i can't wait for somebody to submit a super awesome Jirachi/Forretress fusion 
...oh god i have too many ideas
i have too many jirachi ideas
ok, i shall give you 1! use it responsibly

Oh yeah that speaks to me
here is a body idea since i recognize you around and you are kind to me
zoroark/jirachi
Hm nothing comes to mind
Palkia/Jirachi could be s u p e r s p a c e
zoroark jirachi was also on my mind, I think that'd be really cool
wondering if I should give in and put sfx on my sprite
dont give in
wondering if i should bite the bullet, make 10 jirachis and then let the court of public opinion decide who's contest worthy
except if i make two totodiles then there is no contest because totodile always goes in the contest no questions
i'm not sure if my sprite counts as having sfx or not, it's on the borderline
you are allowed
i cannot fucking wait to see your sprite anslee 
i've already posted the current version in #1050404143807873157
I was just about done with a sprite for the contest and my pc randomly decided it'd be a good idea to bluescreen
and now I lost it forever

this is why you get a good pc
rip
actually no I lied I lost it for different reasons
my condolences
There's no rule against SFX this time; so use as much as you want!
unfortunate
oof
eyyyy there's the luxray i was sure was gonna come up
what a teeni
oh wait is this breaking rule 7
and now I realized I could've screenshot it but I didn't
i can't tell if even mentioning what others have done is breaking rule 7
I have a feeling I’m going to get real sick of jirachi fusions by the end of the week
Looking forward to spriting my own though, I’ve got two good ideas that need a good execution
:^) itty bitty
hmm I guess I always thought of the dont talk about competition entries was about voting so I'm not sure if its also for outside of that
i have another idea for you since i don't know where in my backlog this boy is:
Dragonair/Jirachi
This one also I'm not inspired 
But I have some ideas
Like the pearl can be used to a good extent
if you want to have fun with pearls there's always cloyster
i wish we could do more than 2 entries. not infinite entries, i don't want to kill the mods, but maybe 3 or 5 entries
that is entirely because i have too many ideas lmao
I'd try all your ideas if we weren't limited to 2 yeah
But I'll do Steelix and think reeeeeeeaaaaaally hard on a body one
I wasted 40 minutes of my life recreating the fusion from the ground up
and I wanted to get some sleep tonight
oh well
hey, no worries! It's ultimately to help you, so don't fret about not loving an idea

other people sharing my ideas 
sorry 
dw lol, you got my vote if yours goes further than mine
but you didn’t hear it from me
mfw my username is literally spriter
uhhhh how do i even submit lmao
because i'm p positive y'all will get confused
add your #?
"(fusion number) by Spriter" seems like it'll get deleted lol
but that's my discord username
those don't exist anymore though 
well I still haven't changed mine yet lol
i'm sure if you bring it up with the mods (or just add (the flareon guy) in your name) they won't delete it?
well i'll give it a try i guess
If only I hadn't already made this 
checkout #spriting-guidelines for how to get started
96x96, but download it in 288x288
tyty. one more question… can I make a reference fusion for the contest? like how lopunny and snorlax is big chungus?
literally I won the deoxys contest with a terraria calamity reference
ok swag lol
but if you're gonna reference be careful it's gotta be able to stand on its own to people who don't know the reference
alrighty tyty
started work on what has to be my most ambitious sprite i've ever tried making, but two hours in i messed up something in my app and i've now had to redo all of the linework from scratch 😔
Can people without the spriter role submit for the contest? I wanna challenge myself w this lol
Yes
oh god only 7 days 
i feel like hero made a jirachi fusion with way better colors ill prolly steal that
he hasnt made a jirachi fusion before
uh oh
new plan
@crude cedar Your sprite does not have your name on it. Please copy the format being used by the other sprites in the drive
@bleak flint ^
do i hav to put contest entry at the spritework
Yes, if you're planning on submitting it to the game, too
im slightly happier klinklang did not win that has an overwhelming amount of assets
It's allowed but please don't 
can i submit it both at sprite gallery and at the document
Yes
aw alright ig i wont then
very well
Ignore him, you can do whatever you want to do, as long as it's not a joke alt
nah it wasnt gonna be anything like that
u can make a reference fusion but dont make it too obvious that makes the 2 pokemon in the fusion undistinguisable
if u know what i mean
yee
i dunno if ill enter or not yet, but i have some jirachi ideas clanging around in my head
I posted some answers to some common questions
I made 2 custom bases for my fusion idea, but their proportions ended up differently 
time to make a third one 
do you think using the same pose/base for my two fusions would cost me any votes potentialy
Could cause issues if your two sprites end up in the same voting bracket, as they might end up splitting the vote
hmmst
@chrome fossil That body mon isn't in IF, and your sprite is both blurry and too detailed, please read #spriting-guidelines
the rules only say jirachi needs to be the head or base, not what the other half has to be 
i plan to fuse it with a slice of bread
Can we make fusions from combos who already have a fusion?
Yeah
It feels like I'm making a Kirby boss LOL
Thanks
We can stop everything guys, TCG dropped his entry it's over 🙏
the Trading Card Game made an entry?!
I finally found out why my graphicsgale files were so fucked
MY OLD VERSION I DOWNLOADED NEVER HAD THE ALPHA CHANNELS WORKING RIGHT
Hey mine's .lomeo and I don't know what that's gonna do to the file when I save it
Are triple fusions valid for the contest? 
graphicsgale trick....
WHY ARE WE YELLING?
Btw, if I wanted to a ||Black Hole|| it would work better as ||Darkrai|| or ||Giratina|| ???
fuick
So someone did the same fusion as I was gonna do for the contest can I still do it?
dark matter god
because DPP uber dark void guy is like nightmare themed
dark matter guy summons actual blac holes or wormholes or whatnot
foikanoigh
Thanks contest managers
why so
For the announcement
You can still do it afaik
Yes you can
I had a funny idea for an entry and I'm not sure if it started out as a joke but I'm actually really happy with the result even if I'm tired of working on it
I’m relatively happy w/ how my first submission’s coming along so far. Tho I’m debating re-drawing it w/ a more dynamic pose/exaggerated proportions since I feel like those sprites tend to do better in contests ^^;
I took a pose from some card art which means I had to redraw everything three times by the end
Im gonna do a head and a body, like usual
This is the way
Watch me turn it into an elden ring monster
It already exist, it looks a bit like an eldrich monster to me 
ohh, it does exist! what a cutie
idk why i find the idea of turning a jirachi fusion into cosmic horror amusing
its prob the eyes
what would be the best fusion for that? octillery?
with the tentacles? i can see it
cosmic horror, eh?
unown has a good one
craidily might be a good pick too
giratina and genesect are also good picks
me going for groudon-
Surely everyone will try to do it with a pokemon who doesn't already have a custom sprite :clueless:
like in the jirachi movie?
no, i think that one is too boring and overdone
well it's more for the ref
yeah
i just went straight for a big pokemon to use for the cosmic horror elements
big spikes fun
hmmm, a jirachi/groudon fusion does sounds cool
I imagine a groudon with a big scarf
he's weak to ice after all
maybe for an alt once I’m finished
Oh man, the entries are already looking so good. This is going to be a great contest.
I'm glad they allowed SFX for this one. We in for a sparkly time.
I am already scrapping my idea LOL.
do i need to spritework it with the description having context entry
so is submitting in sprite gallery
You dont have to
im staying here giratina jirachi thread scary
for the wrong reasons-
ok guys next contest is sfx contest guys trust me
no pokemon, just sfx
yes guys trust me on this
all my homies LOVE pikmin
im ashamed i never played a single one
if i may be so bold, while i think SFX are very impressive and a good demonstration of skill, i also think that sometimes people go too far for contests or try to shoehorn them in. i've never personally understood the Palkia/Butterfree fusion, or ones along those lines.
also legit, an assert gallery contest could be cool!
i'm not biased just because i've been making bases recently 
What's your fav?
nah HAHAHA 😭
My favourite Pikmin is the blue, and that's because I didn't play other Pikmin than 1, because the Rock Pikmin looks funny
blue pikmin because of the kill option with grabs
thats right the only pikmin game ive played is smash
getting eaten
Nooooo. Free my man blue pikmin. They don't deserve the abuse!
is there any other piranha plant mains here-
Ew
lol
I main either luigi or kirby
i play too many characters i dont main anyone
dedede is too perfect to get abilities
i feel like after dlc finished, ive only played dlc characters
this took 1 hour thwt i could have played on my swirch
Maybe a lil bit of dk
I played Steve and kept winning too much
he
oh same, i kicked all my friends asses w steve lmao
im waiting for the community day in pogo to start because i still play that shitty ass game
he's going to add another kidding fellas
but piranha plant is where its at for me 💪
anybody wanna play smash broa
No
if i win my argument is right
new rule
no klinklang
owo
I uh. Well you see...
(I emulate)
pizza time stops
server revolution when this happens. why do people hate funny gears
oh-
Yea
better idea, whoever can say this: rød grød med fløde wins every argument ever
idk im too far in to give up
Lojeapple pissarro
i bet this means something
probably
im asian so i have 0 idea what this means rip
its just impossible to say for non-danes
Red porridge with cream
Idea: using your two entries for the same sprite: one with sfx and other without, and let's see what happens 
now say it in danish
Bruh
the lore is that it was funny to see husk have a breakdown eachtime klinklang lost
stop hating on him! this brings back the trauma of people hating the gen5 for some looks desbite mins like muk existing and als it being the pusht hat made gamefreak for what it is and said haters suddenly saying " yeah i actually like gen5 now"
Why SFX isnt everything | The Jirachi Theorem
oh i remember this, i was there 
mons*
What happened here
Katten i will literally kill you
LMFAO
a topic that came up in the thread that i kinda wanna hear opinions on: the idea that sprites don't have to be game-compliant because they're made for the contest, not for the game.
i disagree with that personally. i think we should try our best, but still remember, this is going into a game for people to play
Do you still remember our agreement
turquoise sfx tingles idk
For when klinklang actually wins
you can submit to the contest without submitting to the game
yes i do youll get your one and a half words
it's like parents arguing and using the child as leverage
klinklang didn't do anything wrong, he's just hurt for husk's sake 
Noice
it depends on the kind of contest tbh. next contest should emphrase that
no one will do it except for one maniac
you all i have a genius idea
whats pineco
really? ghmm. disappointing admittedly, i feel like the focus should be on making the best game compliant sprite you can.
we remove contests
Let's just stop doing contests
:)
Exactly
yoooo
FUCK CONTESTS MAN
lol
no contests
i mean as a player, if it looks cool, i like it 👍
contests are for LOSERS
No more contest
i guess you could say
VIVA LA REVALUTION!
to everybody who submitted
make events instead, give certain mons a month like sylpheon
thats why im making 2 sprites a game complaint sprite and an over the top eye catching alt for the contest
no contest
i'm also a player, and admittedly, it takes me out of the game when i see something that contrasts the gen 5 style too heavily
But the contests are made specifically to make the sprites of the game. If that weren't the case they would allow the Non-IF Pokémon in contests. Who said that?
so one day all fusions have a sprite
with contests out of the way now i can focus on making you play like Guatemala in hoi4
smart, people like the big sprites (but not too big)
aw damn dude then this server's gonna die
im still up for beating some people here in smash bros
catch yall in infinite fusion 2 /j
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
i mean uh
my contest sprite is designed to be emphasizing
nooo :((
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
im already there
ive been in two different projects that are just if2
one was literally called if2
will it have more than 2 pokemon
Great. I only play countries that are below the USA, this fits all of my criteria
nah then the real war begins. sprite replacement and the fight over which dprite is main and which is alt
someone bring me there, my nn is literally an emphasis of that
(im joking)
nono, only one pokemon
its run by @umbral sedge so i think youll regret that
Pokemon Infinite Fusion will FALL
Amalgam sux
i have so many half finished sprites in there LMAO

nahhh itll just be much more voting~
whats the background of zero, ive heard abt him lmao
forward facing sprite meta
what
look at my entry it got so much feedback i ignored
Bottom of the barrel, worst of the deplorables, the list goes on 😔
that sounds like a good citizen me personally
defuq
a homophobic gay guy
Zero argued with me when I was right like 100 times
zeroneon is the model citizen of IF
Half of that is correct 
shhhhh
i easily win this contest
erm, those red lines seem quite blurry bro
LMAO
i literally dropped my previous sprite (kinda) so i can focus on the contest lol
now make it fill the canvas
whats ur previous work
zeroneon when sylveon month:
i am so fucking surprised zero is still on this server
@umbral sedge seriously everyone else like you got banned a year ago
hitmonchan / deoxys
im too lazy to show it lmao
what'd they do?
this is the second time he's called himself homophobic this week alone 
show show show
its somewhere there 
truly a model citizen
last survivor
It's my incredible charisma 
your wish is my command
every server got the resident homophobe
true in all of the ones im in its zero
can u send the png, i wanna use this in a hof lol
dex jirachi jirachi
the jirachi/smeargle sweep
I don't think that's in IF. :thinking: Did you misspell something?
ok
despite the fact i havent played the game in a month since i started spriting
NOO
Every day I pray whatever bullshit you pull that day is the final straw and it never is
we should make a contest about that to see which server has the best
The Hunger Games
at least ure praying imo
🙏
hehehe
how are you still mod
i heard that before
katten what do u think of this team
Get help

ninjask/jirachi was fun to make for sure
So many kattens and so few rezzas. We live in a society

Lies

It's just me being a scorpio~
damn my age in the negatives w this one
Ha yall old as fuck

Old ass mofos.

ok?
its fine, u clear anyway lmao
bruh
Bruh I hate gifs search
search golden freddy in gifs search
what were u searching?-
I refuse to elaborate further.
Don't have a great day everyone
why did i actly follow this dammit
i need to work back on my totally overdue klinklang noctowl
about 10 hours after i had to recover my entire linework i've finally finished it
and i still have more to do
the grind is real and i hate it
first submission done
i dont know why i just said that maybe it's for bragging rights I'm not sure
anyway is asking about what pokemon I should pair up for a reference fusion (in this case jirachi and something else) in this chat considered breaking the rules?
there's some really cool sprites in both spritework and the drive so far 
i'm gonna check out the drive right now and i'm sure i'm going to come out of it feeling inadequate
update: i do
actually I got a different question
if I already submitted an entry, can I change said entry?
if there's like some alterations needed
give it like a few days some insane shit is gonna be uploaded
i think so yea
you do some good stuff, you've nothing to feel inadequate about
exeggutor/chansey is a banger concept
aw thank you :). chansey is one of my favourite pokemon so i'm glad i did something cool with it
i js saw it, and ill admit the 3 eggs r pretty funny
and a fun twist
also I'm sure a lot of folks are feeling a similar way, it's natural to want to compare especially in a contest but if you do your best you won't feel ashamed in the end i'm sure 
yeah, it's my first time so i'm giving it my best shot for the fun of it
the sprite i'm working on is very big and very annoying to make i just hope i can pull through with it
good luck on it! you'll do good
Time to start working on my entry
I should do the same but I'm still thinking about what should I do
honestly it was hella fun to edit this pose into a sort of ninja-ish one
now I need to figure out the other sprite 
can i use this as a custom base? its an official garchomp figure
(asking cus i wanna use that as a jirachi fusion)
nice!
i'm just quietly watching and waiting for other people to post their fusions so i can learn a thing or two about space effects from them >:)
I think there is a custom base similar in #assets-gallery if you want
i think that one looks too squarish imo (no offence to the maker)
what about this one? #assets-gallery message
those are really cool but i think ill stick to making one myself, can i use that design tho?
if it's an official one sure
There’s a rayquaza / garchomp that uses this exact pose so maybe that can help
omg it looks insane!
how come i am just now seeing this masterpiece first time
ok its worth a shot
@manic willow is it possible that i use your amazing rayquaza/garchomp fusion as a base?
@uncut shadow as long as you use it for the pose reference and don’t copy/paste the variations i made from scratch compared to the original miniature, i’m fine with it !
i just want the base, i will remove everything else that isnt from garchomp
so yeah, just for the pose
Then it’s fine, go for it 
I remember there being another sprite that used this base
Rayquaza garchomp iirc
Is it okay to publish the context entry on #1050404143807873157
ye
🐐
Ok I wasn't gonna work on my entry anymore but I did a few edits after I'd already submitted
The fails don’t stop on my end I finished the sprite only to find out it was too large and then immediately after my computer crashed
just delete it from the drive and re-add it, i did that like 5 times with one of my entries from the last contest
Ok thanks

@silver merlin is the rock one
Btw I haven’t finish reading everything lol
lets go
#1127517191835750440 message
@livid tulip I just pinged Husk cause he hates SFX lol
This is my new way of answering cause my thread got closed lmao
lmao I knew you will reply here now
best not to continue it huh

I dont normally venture this far
but one thing leads to another and here I am
Staff moment 
what do u think of the fiasco that happened while u were asleep lol
#1127517191835750440 message
@late relic Im trying but I’m too lazy to make the Pokémon smaller 
I still haven’t finish reading lol
Also it got close after I woke up, I sent like two messages and then got close

So now I want to see what happened
LMAO hope u have a morning coffee while reading this
Nah, this is fun
i cannot wait to see merum's jirachi probopass
Im just wondering what am I gonna do now with that sprite, now that the thread is close
idk why im thinking of golden nose hair
maybe make another thread with the readjustments perhaps?
YOU FINALLY WOKE UP
damn
I guess you make a new thread once you've made any changes that managed to be given
maybe with less sfx so that pp don't start arguing again 
It won't be as good as the Deoxys, don't have higher expectations 
as funny as it is seeing the people argue over squares, i agree
Which? XD
the giratina jirachi 
I think I’ll remove the space on the background, to make it less square
But I wanted the black hole to feel like it was disturbing the reality lol
stick to black hole
its best to look like a circle than the entire damn canvas
Yea, it was a part of the design and not meant to be sfx
How do I reopen the thread? 
talk in it again probably
u dont reopen, u make another 
bc the mods closed it so
I can’t lol
it was closed by a mod like Ramoose said 😔
And tbh when I said “I’ll use the most sfx” I didn’t meant to literally use all the canvas, I just wanted a black hole Jirachi distorting the universe around it, but it was late night and felt too lazy to make a smaller Jirachi lol
Simple, you don’t
its a very cool concept, we are js very limited 
tbf it's more the people who got heated that caused the mods to close it
hero, i thik the one thing you should take away from this incident is to not overdose on sfx ever again
Same with that Raikou, I wanted to create a cloud Hydreigon but ran out of space and the sprite was almost finished so I was too lazy to start again 
i js took a nap and watched the chaos (while making small chit chat)
so its like being drunk and making a sprite
So, I should use even more? Cause my next sprite is a ||Cosmic G-Max Typhlosion||
thats a funny description lol
i wanna se what happens if somoenes drunk and they made a sprite
brain blast, perhaps use the hisui version, cooler form of fire 
this is not a joke hero
I once did one
genuinely, stop doing this much sfx
Can’t even remember which lol
using this much ruins the sprite
thats a very niche flex
it's the equivalent of making typhlosion/charizard or something and it literally just being fire
I think it was for LC, but I did a lot so can’t remember
I don’t see the problem with it, the black hole was always meant to be part of the design, the only sfx is the space energy behind it
im pretty sure theres some mamoswine fusion that is pure fire
dude, your sfx used 4.3 times more pixels than the actual sprite
if you don't see the problem with it, then you dont have a very good eye for art
You were counting the black hole as sfx 
cool design just reduce it a bit
or just only the black hole
dont make it a square
BECAUSE IT IS
the palkia theorem
||Also I want to do a fusion that used 100 colors, all intentional, but I can’t think on a way of doing so||
don't, for the love of god
It’s not, it needs 6 tentacles to be giratina, and the black hole is part of it
One day I will
Just cause someone once said “You can’t make a sprite that uses 100 colors and all intentional”
And I want to prove a point
nahhhh
anyone got tips on galaxy sfx that lots of people are using for the contest?
is there a black hole on giratina?
no
i want to have at least a small chance at winning and im seeing all these sfx and I worry i will have no chance whatsoever
yeye i see that
And? The black hole was intended to be there, it doesn’t work without it cause I intended not to 
also, what actually happens if you win/ get on the podium?
just because it's intended doesn't mean it's not sfx
believe in urself, thats what i say 
because literally everything on a sprite is intended
if i have a great idea go for it
You go to heaven when you die no matter what
I still wouldn’t count the black hole as sfx 
I would
he technically has the right to disagree with criticism
The sprite gets put as the server pic and you get a cool tag
But I’m talking to rezza and I don’t wanna die
Doesn’t always make it better lol a lil special effect is nice but not always necessary, simply do what’s best for your sprite
thanks for the encouragement
The sfx is totally allowed, I just don't think it's necessary
I'm not going to stop him from submitting it with it
i guess i can just post to spritework and get tips there
the sfx carried pokemon is getting a contest filled with sfx filled fusions 🙀
jirachi without the sfx is kinda eh
Don’t worry I’ll tone them down a bit, but I won’t remove the black hole cause I intended it to be part of the design 
on its own
Do whatever you wanna do, it's your sprite
tbf the best sprite i've seen so far for this contest had absolutely no effects
You don't have to get rid of it if you don't want to
They would just be an alt lol
who started the idea of the whole purple crystals and cosmic fx, thats what im wondering
I mean what i do is hit the calc or like look at all jirachi heads for inspiration, there are a few with space effects
jirachi in:sprite gallery old until u find one with sfx
Rule 7 if irc
Yea it’s not Always necessary
Translation: You can post the sprite, but don't be surprised if the no-sfx rule come back to stay after this contest 
well, i [posted what ive got right now
my baddd 
I just wanted to do black hole Jirachi 
the sfx rule debate coming back right when i'm about to post my sprite 🧍♀️
The sfx rule isn't gonna change mid contest or anything
It's allowed
ik ik it's just bad timing
Only after

i don't think i've overdone it but still can't be sure
Thinking a lot of special effects = ez win is just a bad way of thinking
man im still stuck on the sketching phase 
||Now I sorta don’t want to participate cause when next contest doesn’t use sfx they’ll blame it on me
||
me with a slightly sfx carried fusion:
or you can, you know, not do sfx like it's a drug and you're a crackhead
its not ur fault jirachi just happens to be a sfx carried pokemon
nah dont feel discouraged, the only problem is how big the sfx is
It’s not gone yet the rule lol just do what’s best for the fusions, don’t focus on only winning
We’re artists we should care about what’s best for the artwork
theres no rule that forbids sfx
draw what you want
listen to your heart
for whats best of your artwork
Contests just made to make more sprites
Tbh even tho I do want to win, this idea was born as black hole Jirachi, I even wanted to give more effects to the black hole, like a spiritomb I saw some time ago (idr the spriter neither the fusion, probably was a self fusion) and then thought it was too many
how were the pkms picked for the poll btw?
🍿
Past contest winners
So after this, whoever wins this comp replaces jirachi with a mon of their choosing
Yea you can still do that without it eating the whole canvas lol
time to bribe the winner to choose latias 
mewtwo/spiritomb
GENESECT JJWBENFTASWNGOIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
why do you choose is it for next contest or role?
if i win can i simply remove that spot from the next voting
What
What does this mean
why does one get to choose
so for the next contest it will be the same mons with jirachi switched then?
is it for next contest or the role
Yes
im surprised klinklang still stands strong
Spriting gears is hard
If whoever wins this replaces jirachi with something shit like duosion, klinklang will totally win next time though
from the looks of it yea, they do 
Only for their hope to get grinded next contest
I would bet that the damage has already been done since there have already been too many problems with this topic including the current case, so this contest may be the last time you can risk like this. Surely if the sfx is not banned in the next contest it will be in the one that follows it
idk why people chose grovyle
PMD fans I guess
Would only be mystery dungeon references lmao
when everyone was acting like klinklang was about to win i really tried to come up with fusion ideas and just couldn't. i got NOTHING for the gears
🍿
all the cool head ideas have been done and that body is just difficult lmao
weep and wail
Dw klinklang contest won’t happen
not to say i wouldn't try it but i wouldn't know what i'd do for it either
Nah, I have faith in klinklang
I can see it happening next contest. It all depends who wins this one
Klinklang is a Pokémon that you need to be really creative to make it work. It's not for everyone, that's for sure
you just dont want to do the kyogre 
It’s already made
By someone else
yeah i'm not creative enough for klinklang 😔
i like it as a pokemon tho it's very cool
and i love the fusions that have been done with it
fusions r cool doing one is hell
and it's amazing
Haxorus/Klinklang 
wtf does it matter if it's sfx or not? sfx isn't prohibited this contest 
wait klinklang fusions dont use much sfx right
klinklang generally doesn't use much sfx
there's oil, cool electricity and the coolest fire you'll ever see, but those depend on the body mon
which is why Latias is objectively the best choice
klinklang bodies are a different thing
WOAH whats goin on
I think I was talking about this one, but I remember it slightly different so I might be confusing it with a another one lol
latios/vaporeon
SFX argument
klinklang typholosion
hell yea lemme get my popcorn rq
and klinklang/reshiram
but we're talking latias
used by the same fire lmao
same thing but red
blame vaporeon, not the latis
latios / latias, js swap the color palette
I know
as someone who has done a latias sprite, latias is awesome and we need it in more fusions
but the latis have literally nothing to play with it
or rather to work with
all you get is "plane"
that's it
Yea I don’t feel to need to make a sprite if there is already a good one
Milian arguing? That's another official report 
Well, now I’m not sure if I want to participate or not, but even tho, I wish you all good luck and to have fun!
Arguing? Me? Never.
I'M NOT PLAYING NIDHOG WITH YOU REZZA
awh D:
I probably will, I’m just going to take some time lol
I am the one that ruins the fun
Mods are joining in on it means the fun can begin 
I really like to see a Klinklang contest
am just here watching, eating, smiling, laughing
read this to the tune of "i am the rat that makes all of da rules"
🍿
return w some cool ass sprites 
god bless I didnt make the rules
@teal grove if you teach me how to draw mechanical stuff I’ll vote for cliticlic next time

I read it more like a line from beasts from treatsforbeasts
#1110835463553568841 is literally right there
You don't need to draw mechanical stuff actually if you want to make a Klinklang body
thats like saying u dont need fire for a rapidash body
im joking
What if husk loses the klinklang comp to a sprite made using assets that were ripped from his sprites
Man, that polish meme doesn't translate well into english 
Comedy
I mean that Klinklang body has a lot of potential to not be just gears and steel. See Sylveon/Klinklang, for example
(2) funni hahas
i would kill myself
I can help
i see ur point w that, actly a surprisingly well done sprite
we start with ||chandetile||
Cofagrigus/Klinklang and Deoxys/Klinklang as well. Klinklang body fusions work great when the gears are replaced with something related with the head Pokémon, instead of making gear recolors (there are some incredible in this kind of fusions too, but it's not mandatory)
Hey I made one of those
Based
Point proven, pretty neat concepts
Ight bet katten will fuse jirachi with one of the weather trio
what if we allowed SFX in the klinklang contest and husk lost to someone who somehow abused SFX in klinklang
wouldn't be that unlikely tbh, a good chunk of them have a metric ton of smoke and other industrial-looking effects
man once i get a little bit of a break i'm gonna have to keep making totodiles and croconaws and feraligatrs
i gotta make buddies for scut!
good idea
my idea now
@vital monolith and "MiksGee" (who I just cannot find in the server) please read #spriting-guidelines. Both of your sprites are invalid
If anyone knows who this is, please ping them
doesnt seem to be in spritework
I managed to submit my two entries
There isn't a single mention of this sprite anywhere, ig someone put the sprite right after finishing it and used the wrong name
the fact I submitted both of them in a day probably means I'll lose though 
You have an entire week to polish those sprites
Dont rush it
I know but like
should i delete it or is it formatted wrong or named wrong? sorry
I can't find anything to polish about them
Delete it and read #spriting-guidelines before you start spriting
In its current state it'll be autoremoved anyway
