if everyone entered whoever wins will be the inarguably the best spriter, not because they won against everyone, but by default

Excellent, that can be arranged. 😉
Likes: You know the ones. Every one reveals slightly more of my personality, from my interests to some of my favourite memories, be they old or relatively new. A certain type may inexplicably be more common than other ones. Are consistent favourites being eclipsed in more recent years? It's hard to say.
Dislikes: You also know these ones. Each one makes my blood boil further and further with their continued and lingering presence. They just don't fit the vibe, do they? At least, not to me. There is no specific generation with more designs that I dislike (that matters for IF, anyway).

Most image editing software will do the job, but here are some commonly used examples:
Piskel: Beginner-friendly, easy to use, doesn't require a download. To resize cleanly, either export at a 3.0x scale using the slider, or click resize and set the width/height to 288x288 with "Resize canvas content" toggled. Link: piskelapp.com
Paint.Net: Intuitive and free, requires a download. To resize cleanly, go to Image > Resize, and turn Resampling to "Nearest Neighbour". Link: getpaint.net
MS Paint: Very simple to use, already installed on most PCs, doesn't support transparency so will need a second program to remove the background. Doesn't have layers. To resize cleanly, click the small option with two squares near the Select tool and resize via percentage to 300%. To downsize cleanly, use the pixels option.
GIMP: Free Photoshop alt, requires a download. Not very beginner-friendly, but useful once learned. To resize cleanly, go to Image > Scale Image, and turn Interpolation to "None" Link: gimp.org
Aseprite: Costs money and requires a download. Has certain advantages, but there is probably no need to pay for this when you are just starting out. Link: aseprite.org

🟡 Posts to the gallery have to be formatted for the game. They must be 288x288 px pngs (3x upscaled from 96x96) and must have the name headdexnumber.bodydexnumber (e.g. 25.1.png for a Pikachu/Bulbasaur). All PIF Pokémon past gen 2 have different dex numbers than normal, you can find those out on the wiki (https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokédex), the calc (https://aegide.github.io/) or with the dex command (e.g dex pikachu/bulbasaur)

Make sure to follow the #rules!
7. Contest voting. This should be a courtesy as opposed to a rule, but it will still be enforced. Do not talk about individual sprites currently being voted on in contests, as this potentially sways and influences voting outcomes. This also means before voting begins, so no discussion on sprites until they are out of the voting or until voting is done. Posting the sprites in #spriting-discussion to receive feedback is an exception to that, however, so feel free to discuss work in progress sprites there before they are submitted to the contest.

Rule 9: Sprite Feedback. Sprites must be posted in #1050404143807873157 and receive feedback in threads before going into sprite-gallery. Nobody is exempt from this rule, no matter how perfect you perceive your sprites to be. Design suggestions do not need to be acted on, this is more to catch low quality sprites or errors that the spriter may have missed.

Hi I'm designing my first sprite for the contest, wandering are we allowed to share it for feedback on one of the channels, before we submit it?
next plank
I'll take that as a yes, awesome!
dawn arch
Apparently, no one is making a sableye X graveler fusion so now I am
graceful plank
I considered it but I didn't have a super solid idea
now I think I do but it'll be a bit tough
next plank
Apparently, no one is making a sableye X graveler fusion so now I am <:heehee:94...
Spoilers but the one I'm working on is a golem lol
graceful plank
golem is already in gallery I think
graceful plank
yeah I saw it yesterday when I was looking at chart
next plank
Gotta go find it now, see if it's doing the same reference I am
Found it. They're doing something completely different to me that's chill
dawn arch
Spoilers but the one I'm working on is a golem lol
yeah that's why im not making a golem, figured it'd be taken
serene narwhal
hello, just joined the server as i want to do some spriting, have just uploaded my sableye x delibird to the competition. amazed at some of the other entries
slender thunder
do you need to post your entry for the contest
calm stone
hello, just joined the server as i want to do some spriting, have just uploaded ...
This was my first spriting contest as well. I decided to do an easy entry and do beldum and sableye. I probably could have done more to make it stand out but i figure simpler is better for the random low level fusions. The stand out fusions should be the cooler pokemon.
steel vortex
but yeah its kinda hard to tell im a cm other then the little oshawott
AH I see it lol
near horizon
We have 3 days left right ?
jagged minnow
Yep
cloud solstice
I didn't saw it before but it's written that there will be another mini contest after this one
a new pokemon confimed next week maybe?
steel vortex
tune in in a week for another reveal 👀
:D 🎉
civic mauve
do you need to post your entry for the contest
You need to post it in the google drive
late sequoia
Lots of good submissions. The mods are gonna have a tough descision on their hands
molten crater
I would expect them to do some standardized thing, like "here's a sheet with a bunch of criteria, give points to the sprite based on those, then we sum everything and the most points win"
grand tusk
"does it include a Pokemon I like? no? TRASH EM"
civic mauve
Any idea what the meta’ll be for a staff judged contest? I’m assuming sfx won’t be a win condition anymore, but should they be avoided entirely?
civic mauve
"does it include a Pokemon I like? no? TRASH EM"
I was actually hoping I’d get bonus points for doing an unpopular combo for my fusion but maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part
storm shard
I’m completely new to sprite work but I’m making sure that 3x3 pixel pen and 288x288 is the correct canvas size from what I’m reading in the thread?
Testing with the image also
dawn prairie
No
Use a 1 pixel pen in 96x96
Then scale up by 3x (in nearest neighbor so no blurring) after
storm shard
Ahh, that makes sense, thank you! 💚
steel vortex
Friendly reminder to anyone new to spriting to check out #spriting-guidelines ! Lots of helpful tips and requirements (it also may be hidden for some reason) And be sure to hit up #1050404143807873157 and send your sprite for review before submitting, make a new thread/post
Not addressed to anyone specifically btw, just cause I know this contest is open to all who may be new!
There's also #1051343819314053160 and #assets-gallery if you want some fun stuff to use!

there is no such thing as a meta, it's all in your head
grand tusk
oh there isn't? Awesome, next public vote I have a good feeling for my kaiju gardevoir with tons of SFX!

Lol no
We're probably just gonna vote like a regular contest
But only staff votes that's all
misty acorn
Damn voting for yourself gonna be op this time
stiff valley
You can either vote or participate, not both
Thorns chose to participate, I think that's the only one
misty acorn
Katten made a Torterra at least, but idk if as an entry
storm shard
Friendly reminder to anyone new to spriting to check out <#873571372981452830> !...
Thank you so much for this! For some reason these channels were hidden, but I appreciate you attaching them!
steel vortex
Ofc! Glad it helps, I notice they dissappear too sometimes idk why!
storm shard
I tried my hand at it, very rarely do pixel work but I super enjoyed it!
sly hatch
I'm working on a Sableye Sylveon and this is working like. surprisingly well
wind matrix
Thorns chose to participate, I think that's the only one
i chose to vote. I took my sprite out 😂
stiff valley
Oh lol ok

@limber venture might be a good idea to link the spriting guildlines in the contest anouncements
plucky arch

if i know this staff meta is "make good sprite while avoiding meta"
dont think too hard and just make smth
also your username is in fact based
civic mauve
dont think too hard and just make smth
Good to know. Mostly just wanted to make sure I wasn't shooting myself in the foot by including some sfx
plucky arch
i didnt even rly think too hard and just made a sprite i had a good idea for
civic mauve
also your username is in fact based
Thanks ^^ Stakataka and Kartana both have a ton of potential imo so I'm hoping they get in since I have so many ideas for graffiti/origami fusions
plucky arch
i still gotta add mine to the drive,, after some tweaks lemme do that now
glossy heron
I am the only Geodude sableye fusion in the contest?🤷

Better idea is to disallow non spriters from submitting 
plucky arch
damn someone else did the same fusion i did, this keeps happening smhsmh
supple magnet
damn someone else did the same fusion i did, *this keeps happening smhsmh*
What fusion is it?
plucky arch
Starmie
supple magnet
Ah, makes sense
steel vortex
Just make it Starmie, easy
sharp latch
does someone have a tutorial on how to do gems? I want to do Galvantula/Sableye when I have some time :3
clever brook
Can someone work on some Xatu fusions? Mine is absolutely cursed
rough talon
damn someone else did the same fusion i did, *this keeps happening smhsmh*
IJUST NOTICED THAT
OH FUCK 💥
plucky arch
Can someone work on some Xatu fusions? Mine is absolutely cursed

wind topaz
Wrong
plush vale

subtle moss
Yeah we should asprite to be Bghosts
plush vale
ghostusters?
steel vortex
Thought someone called for me 
plush vale
who ya gonna call
subtle moss
Thought someone called for me <:pepehands:788818469449629797>
Say feels like you should have a B in your name
woven kettle
So, when's the next contest?
subtle moss
A week after this one ends, presumably
woven kettle
A week after this one ends, presumably
@plucky arch is this true?
clever brook
My xatu/vibrava fusion is a pure meme of a mon. Psychic dragon
plucky arch
<@713909201188945962> is this true?
nope
woven kettle
plucky arch
Right after this contest ends
no week break
were goin contest to contest back to back
(i tried)
woven kettle
You don't even get a month with your sprite as the server's icon
Just a week or two
plucky arch
just a week baby
woven kettle
Let me in on some insider
What's the next prompt
I'm allowed to make sprites for the contest 1 week before it starts
steel vortex
Next prompt, Bruxish
subtle moss
oh, I misspoke
steel vortex
Tee has no authority, it's too late
It's all Bruxish
steel vortex
That's right, we're doing contests for everything new that gets added to the game.
A mini classic contest is what I'm calling this. The rules for submission are the same as a classic contest, but with a much shorter window where it's active. There are 5 days to submit your sprite, and then 2 days of inactivity while the staff team will judge every sprite individually. After that, it's onto a new mini contest.
subtle moss
they probably won't reveal what the next Pokémon is till the next contest starts
steel vortex
About 2 days of cooldown before new mon is announced and new contest for said mon
woven kettle
> That's right, we're doing contests for everything new that gets added to the g...
So, even bug fixes?
steel vortex
I assume around every Tuesday a new mon is announced? Cause this week was Sableye ofc
steel vortex
So, even bug fixes?
Yes we sprite the glitches and bugs
plush vale
> That's right, we're doing contests for everything new that gets added to the g...
so will every addition be revealed 1 week at a time then or do we know em all at once after the month?
steel vortex
Once a week, new Pokemon for this month or until all of them ig
I'm just getting this info from #event-announcements and #announcements
storm shard
I do enjoy that they are frequent. More opportunities to learn, practice and grow
plucky arch
What's the next prompt
no clue
itll be whatever the new mon is, but even i dont know what it is
woven kettle
You're the contest manager
plucky arch
yes
woven kettle
You should know 
plucky arch
but not staff
woven kettle
How do I convince the frog to make you staff?
plucky arch
also theres 5 days, good chance they dont even know yet
subtle moss
They did not grant you the title of Master
plush vale
the next prompt is whatever pokemon say wants to get in least that still remains an option
plucky arch
itll be Pidove or smth
subtle moss
a contest for a really forgettable Pokémon would be funny, ngl.
plush vale
generally those ideally don't get added in the first place
civic mauve
Hm... looking at the contest submissions. One of these entries is not like the others
subtle moss
dont discuss the entries
steel vortex
Is it an error?
civic mauve
dont discuss the entries
I'm pretty sure it's invalid ^^; Not saying which one it is in case it isn't tho
primal iron
there's 2 of them...
civic mauve
defo invalid
Yeah I'm wondering if someone uploaded the wrong file or if it's just a troll
steel vortex
I see 3 issues lmao
primal iron
prob just trolls
steel vortex
5 now
primal iron
I mean, some of them are invalid because the format is wrong, or they just don't respect the guidelines but they're clearly trying
2 of them are just flat out random pictures
steel vortex
Yeah lmao
civic mauve
The other one I saw is at least a sprite though it looks like it's too high resolution to me. At least they added some gems tho
steel vortex
Who manages the drive btw? Just wanna DM a slight concern unrelated to this (but I may be wrong I hope)
primal iron
Also it's impressive considering there's like 880 options for fusion choices how many doubles there are lol
plucky arch
Rezza
plucky arch
hello
livid stratus
if i want to post a link to a spriting timelapse I made, where should I post it?
plucky arch
not uh, not sure
limber venture
Who manages the drive btw? Just wanna DM a slight concern unrelated to this (but...
Me
steel vortex
Oh I should have asked before, if it was to shoot a DM rq
livid stratus
not uh, not sure
who should I ask?
cause there isnt like a self promo/youtube channel
signal reef
Just checked the drive, why are people putting so much gold/coins in Sableye fusions ?? Thought he was just a gem-eater, not a dragon keeping a treasure
lunar comet
ikr
i guess coins are adjacent to gems but coins are more meowth/persian's thing imo
signal reef
I checked his pokedex entries and there are nothing related to coins
lunar comet
¯_(ツ)_/¯
civic mauve
Could be because the shiny is gold?
plush vale
because gems and riches and treasure gremlin is what people goin for
steel vortex
I waaaas doing a theme of Dragon's hoard, but I have a different idea I like ehhehehee idk if I can pull it off 
storm shard
I mean, some of them are invalid because the format is wrong, or they just don't...
I know I probably made numerous mistakes having only had the dimensions as a guideline before I submitted, but at least I had fun and got to see a ton of cool sprites. More prepared for next time tho!
livid stratus
ok so its stuff like this that make me feel warm and fuzzy
i just searched one of my sprites to see if people had used it and its all "Damn thats dope"
primal iron
I know I probably made numerous mistakes having only had the dimensions as a gui...
did you post it for review in #1050404143807873157 ?
signal reef
There is a lot of sprite in the drive that didn't go through #1050404143807873157
storm shard
did you post it for review in <#1050404143807873157> ?
I didn’t - I didn’t know it was a thing. For some reason a lot of channels didn’t show up for me, had to log out and log back in and add them with someone’s help. But now I know that exists too 😅
A lot of seriously talented pixel artists here and I’m just happy to see ‘em all
primal iron
Ahh, gotcha, discord do be that way sometimes... If you didn't see it either, I recommend you read through #spriting-guidelines, I found your entry and it's really pretty, unfortunately it does break a few of the guidelines so it can't be added to the game which is a shame because I really like it
storm shard
I appreciate the feedback! And no worries, I had fun and it was a learning experience, so net win!
primal iron
not too late to work more on it if you want to add it to the game! If you're happy with just that tho it's totally fine too ^^
Honestly there wouldn't be a lot to change haha
storm shard
If I have time between work I might, if not I’ll just work more and practice for next time ᕙ( * •̀ ᗜ •́ * )ᕗ

how long does the contest have left is it down to hours i cannot tell with thimes
arctic garnet
Never thought I'd do one of these, but because I had a recent idea that actually fit a current contest theme, I've actually submitted for the first time! I'm very curious to see how this goes down with only staff voting
wind matrix
