event-general

[half sage]

Has anyone ever thought of a duskull line combo?

[tough apex]

Would joke alts be rated lower? I feel like tyrunt would be the type of pet to rip up their toys and teddiursa is looking like a stuffy

[lunar comet]

I dare someone to make Barney

[tough apex]

💀gotta wait for goodra

[plucky arch]

based on previous entries it looks like they might

[misty acorn]

Hey mammuth this new mon is right up your alley, you better participatr!

[tough apex]

Yeah fair, it's hard to make something cohesive if it's a joke

[slow gyro]

Doing a base

[silver solar]

What body type is tyrunt

[late sequoia]

Clever using the Go promotional art, specially since Tyrantrum doesn't have many cards

[austere nimbus]

makes a base
"no using it for contest"
epic troll

[slow gyro]

Imo the body should be dragon

[austere nimbus]

i might do that

[slow gyro]

Im using figurines lol

[fierce flume]

Rock/Dragon, so a spicy dragon body

[slow gyro]

Figure

[silver solar]

Cool, i can focus on the more dragony elements

[late sequoia]

Aah, my mistake

[silver solar]

Might make tyrunt and tyrantrum

Then submit whichever i feel better about

[crude cedar]

Krookadile + Tyrantrum = Devil Dinosaur

Cool idea I just had

[rugged hemlock]

Just draw the pose from scratch noobs

[crude cedar]

I’m not going to make it though since I cannot make sprites

So someone else feel free to use this idea

[rugged hemlock]

Cries in sugimori style

[rugged hemlock]

Or houndoom would be cool

[crude cedar]

Yeah

I could see it

[worthy pecan]

Does that mean Amaura and Aurorus are coming too or is it just Tyrunt and Tyrantrum?

[rugged hemlock]

We think aurorus line will prob follow since they’re a pair Pokémon

[crude cedar]

#announcements message

[plucky arch]

if mammuth participates i think we can all just give up

[lyric tapir]

yessss

[misty acorn]

good

[lyric tapir]

they should add aurorus like they added scolipede

[misty acorn]

2024

[plucky arch]

nah

add it like they did Sableye

[lyric tapir]

oh

[plucky arch]

we complain for 3 years until it finally happens

[lyric tapir]

was sableye the mod choice

or scolipede

both purple so i mix up

[worthy pecan]

Aurorus and Alolan Ninetales

[plucky arch]

scolipede was

[lyric tapir]

there’s the|| torterra and uhhhh i think magcargo??? ||fusion that has aurorus in it

idk if spoilers so i just take no chance

for game

[opal wadi]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/infinitefusion/sprites/main/CustomBattlers/208.154.png

[misty acorn]

guys its aurorus

[thick harness]

Not sure if this is the one you meant but do you mean this entei/torterra?

[old solar]

We have aurorus at home

[lyric tapir]

yeh

i just found it lol

[silver solar]

Or, I’m not doing tyrantrum because fuck me. Internet on my deck decided to stop working after i watched the Pokémon episode

[lyric tapir]

the only aurorus

[thick harness]

~~I also made a tyrantrum alt but I guess that one's not canon anymore ~~

[lyric tapir]

so is it confirmed aurorus didn’t get voted in then?

[tepid gyro]

at least for now, i assume theres still a chance for it in the future

[silver solar]

I think this is just saying tyrunt doesn’t guarantee amaura

[lyric tapir]

ok

i hope it gets picked

we need more ice

[plush vale]

remember to do noivern too for boomburst to go with refrigerate

[misty acorn]

do you really think the randos voted for amaura?

[lyric tapir]

noivern getting hit by that also

[plush vale]

not if ya fuse it right

[lyric tapir]

true

[old solar]

For now just fuse meganium with ice types

[lyric tapir]

omg

add crabominable

[misty acorn]

thats it you crossed the line

[steel vortex]

Who tf is this?

Steelix and

[lyric tapir]

add crabrawler without crabominable and make it ice type and boost stats

[lyric tapir]

meganium? maybe

[old solar]

Also add just spheal but with massive stats

[crisp cargo]

better be a staff pick then

tyrunt without the better kalos fossil is a travesty

[steel vortex]

A h

[dull crater]

I do love Aurorus aesthetically, but if there were to be only one more fossil I'm 100% for Archeops. Both cool for spriting and interesting in game.

[vivid sonnet]

As a Dinosaur Kid I am devastated we don't have Aurorus (yet) especially as I am a rare dino kid that is kinda meh on T.Rex

[crisp cargo]

we need ICE TYPES

[dull crater]

Aur looks nice, but wouldn't add much to the game.

[crisp cargo]

?????? we have like no ice types at all

[plucky arch]

itd add ice types

fun fact

[crisp cargo]

the fuck does archeops add that other birds don't

[plucky arch]

we have as many Dragon Types as we do Ice and Fighting combined

[crisp cargo]

defeatist????

[plucky arch]

29, 14, and 15 respectively

[dull crater]

I'd rather the snowrunt line for Ice. And there is big push for Spheal, which seems likely to happen.

[mental lynx]

spheal is amazing

[crisp cargo]

i have actual 0 ideas for tyrantrum so lol

[plucky arch]

so far were 3/20 in, anything can happen

[crisp cargo]

actual generic kinda boring mon

at least for the sake of designs in fusions

i like it as a standalone

[mental lynx]

i mean it’s a t rex

that’s cool by default

[crisp cargo]

we have tyranitar for rex-like designs

or better yet rampardos

[wind matrix]

THATS SMOKE?!

[crisp cargo]

rampardos is RIGHT THERE

[plucky arch]

and cranidos is pretty rex-y

[dull crater]

Spheal is cute and would have good sprites, but I'm not a big fan of the evos. Snorunt is also cute while froslass would be good for a lot of things as well.

[vivid sonnet]

Froslass is an S tier Ice mon, would love to see it

[plucky arch]

honestly the entire spheal line is so good imo

Walrus fusions unmatched

Spheal is adorable

and Sealeo is just better Seel

[mental lynx]

actually rampardos is a pachysephalosaurus

[crisp cargo]

we're not talking about what a mon ACTUALLY is

i'm talking about shapes

rampardos has the rex shape, regardless of it being a rex

[vivid sonnet]

T.Rex is good for slightly more specific dinosaur references, but otherwise it's just another cool kaiju guy tbh

[tepid reef]

Dino bird

Silly guy

[dull crater]

Honestly a mark against it. Taking up a slot while invalidating existing mons?

[vivid sonnet]

I prefer making fusion designs that are weird

[steel vortex]

Aurora Borealis long neck 😔

[plucky arch]

youre gonna say no to This guy??

look at him

[vivid sonnet]

That 'stache tho

[misty acorn]

naaah, too many ice water mons already in the game and the body shape would also be mostly redundant because dewgong

[dull crater]

Look, almost every option is good. But we're talking best.

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/abomasnow-wow-wood-hammer-abomasnow-uses-wood-hammer-gif-26863547

[plucky arch]

idc who it is

,,,most

i just want an Ice Type

not the fucking crab

[vivid sonnet]

If we need ice mons maybe we don't need to be too picky as we could do top 2 lines?

[dull crater]

From a pure spriting perspective I'd love Kommo-o. Fusions of that would be wild (if difficult.)

[plucky arch]

we also need fighting types

Kumono??

shoot which is that one

[misty acorn]

I want snover line + snorunt line + cryogonal and I won't accept any less 😤

[plucky arch]

TRUEE

based tomate

[dull crater]

Kommo'o, I can never remember the name.

[plucky arch]

ahh

nah

[vivid sonnet]

For fighting...I'd love to see Scraggy and Pancham lines

[plucky arch]

we have So Many Dragons

[misty acorn]

me when dragon type pseudo legi number 15 shows up

[dull crater]

And it's a fighting type.

[crisp cargo]

ok actual question what can i do with tyrantrum that i couldn't with rampardos or ttar instead

[plucky arch]

Pangoro and Toxicroak

[misty acorn]

uhm... beard?

[crisp cargo]

not doing this as a haha slight against the mon

[crisp cargo]

delibird/tyrantrum
fuck it.

[vivid sonnet]

Fossil Fighters references

[wind matrix]

I'd given you a 5 if you used less colours

[crisp cargo]

i can do that with rampardos

[lyric tapir]

red

[half sage]

who up fighting for their lives against feet

[vivid sonnet]

??? huh

[half sage]

. drawing them

I should have clarified that.

[misty acorn]

just crop the sprite to not have then

[plucky arch]

diglett sprite

[half sage]

I have ideas for lil silly accessories on the ankles tho

[dull crater]

Why draw feet when you could draw potat?

[rough talon]

is this against the rules to ask for someone to give you a random pokemon to fuse the contest mon with

or should i consult the Wheel

[dull crater]

I don't think so.

[rough talon]

ok well

do that to me pleasies

[misty acorn]

Skiploom

[dull crater]

Fucking hard mode'd

I was going to say Breloom.

Which is weirdly similar.

[livid tulip]

Sunkern

[rough talon]

i legit think i could work with skiploom and tyrantrum

[misty acorn]

You have no choice now 🔫

[rough talon]

welp.

time to get drawing asap

[plush vale]

#sprite-gallery message

[misty acorn]

which ice types?????ßß?

[dull crater]

I haven't actually participated in a contest in ages... Last time I was out in the first round despite putting my whole ass into it with a custom. I was in the same pool as what got 1st.

[wind matrix]

shoutout to my favorite sprite in the contest that I had to give a 3 because it looked like a kabuto self fusion. I love this little guy

[plush vale]

kyurem

[misty acorn]

yeah loved this one

[livid tulip]

How voting works? What's the max votes you can give them?

[wind matrix]

5 is the max votes

[livid tulip]

0-5 I guess. Interesting

[wind matrix]

yis

the sheet did show the individual scores for the last one, but they didn't include them for this one

since you guys can't see it. Here's the amazing scores for the best sprite

[misty acorn]

biggest troll on the far right

[livid tulip]

The redacted and the -5 lmao

[wind matrix]

this is the link btw
https://piskel-imgstore-b.appspot.com/img/424c8c40-3c0f-11ee-b7c9-cbcc5a2f3c9e.gif

[rough talon]

LMAO

also i hope this doesnt sound mean to the judges because i dont mean it in that way but

[livid tulip]

Katten vote, am I right

[rough talon]

actually no

i think its fine. i answered my own question mentally

no hypothetically mean comment that gets me killed today

[wind matrix]

confused noises

[rough talon]

SORRY I WAS GONNA SAY SMTH ABOUT WHAT POKEMON TO USE

i was like "do you have to use COOL pokemon to win" but no thats not true.....and its a silly assumption....

oh wait one second

oh no

this is funny to notice haha

[uncut shadow]

Same, honestly thought it was going to be one of the winners

[shell gale]

What?

[wind matrix]

Some pokemon have more potential then others. But it really depends on how you sprite it

[rough talon]

good to know ! thank you

[rough talon]

but i was going to say im pretty sure both of these are calamity mod references

[wind matrix]

they are lol

[rough talon]

YEAH I WAS GONNA SAY

[hallow frost]

which sprites from the contest get added? just the top 3?

[rough talon]

nope

[misty acorn]

yes

[rough talon]

all that get posted by the creators in sprite gallery

[misty acorn]

lie

[cloud pulsar]

you have to get top 10 to get added to the game

[rough talon]

i swear someone complained about that

to be fair though its only happened twice

[hallow frost]

so how many sprites will get added with the tyrunt line? only 10?

[rough talon]

if it happens again i'm gonna freak ! ! !

[wind matrix]

not surprised

[crude cedar]

billions must play calamity]

[rough talon]

i swear there was a saying that's applicable here

happens twice, its coincidence
happens thrice, its intentional

[tired holly]

LETS GOOOO

I'm so happy lmao

[wind matrix]

if the spriter posts their contest sprite in the gallery, it will get added to the game. Contest placement has nothing to do with it

[rough talon]

admittedly this is me being biased against calamity because i know some of the devs who walked out on it

[tired holly]

these other ones look so good though, like 5th place should have honestly been higher

[rough talon]

i think its a fine mod but after that my view has been a bit soured....

[hallow frost]

thank you for being the only one to explain it to me

[wind matrix]

To be fair, plupa tried to explain it

[misty acorn]

but they lied

[wind matrix]

they did not

[rough talon]

i tried to explain it but everyone was too busy making jokes about it 😭

[cloud pulsar]

im not sorry
it was pretty clear it was not true

[rough talon]

idk some people dont pick up on that

if someone else is answering a question you might not want to intervene with jokes

[cloud pulsar]

no fun allowed

[rough talon]

shrugs

[opal wadi]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/infinitefusion/sprites/main/CustomBattlers/263.106.png

[shell gale]

[shut cipher]

do you need to be a spriter to enter the contest

[wind matrix]

nope

[subtle moss]

left the PC for a few hours, suddenly there's a T-rex on the loose, what's up.

[shut cipher]

hooray

[shell gale]

We all went mining

[rough talon]

i wasnt really angry but it is a bit annoying to have someone constantly trying to intentionally confuse someone else as someone who often struggles with that

personally, it's a lot less fun when someone does that and doesn't stop, honestly.

[plucky arch]

TRUEEE 5th and 6th were so good dude

[tired holly]

yeah 6th was also really cool

[shut cipher]

now that i know im good to enter, anyone know a good tyrantrum base i can use?

can't find any in assets

[plucky arch]

prolly cause it was Just announced

not many bases exist

[rough talon]

yeah

[shut cipher]

well i figured thats why im asking if theres any anyone knows of

[plucky arch]

give it like, 3 days maybe and im sure there will be some

[wind matrix]

I thought someone already made one before it was anounced

[rough talon]

well if all else fails

#assets-gallery is there

actually you mightve looked there already

[dense jackal]

Hero seems to working on one

[rough talon]

nope actually there are some there

[misty acorn]

.Drawing is working on one too!

[rough talon]

im sure "tyrantrum asset" works like a charm too

[wind matrix]

#assets-gallery message

[shut cipher]

i guess ill just wait then

[plush vale]

johlly has 2 theres also some in #1142534431337365614

[wind matrix]

there is one

[shut cipher]

okay thanks i guess i mistyped or misspelled when i was searching

[wind matrix]

lol

[viscid helm]

top 20, not bad
i got no inspo for tyrantrum tho still kinda sad it wasn't archeops lol

[plush vale]

tyrantrum lapras swimmy ride boi?

[raven pulsar]

the tyrantrum sprite posted in images is blurry

[frosty adder]

I'm just barely out of the top 50, not sure how I feel about it. But it is what it is.

Anyways I'm already working on my next contest sprite.

[uncut shadow]

What's the maximum amount of points someone can get in the contest?

[dense jackal]

75

[frosty adder]

Do points serve any value outside of contests? I'm not sure

[cloud pulsar]

what does that mean...?

[frosty adder]

Like the points you win in contests.

[plush vale]

no just a judging mechanis in the staff contests

[plucky arch]

no its just how contests are judged

[frosty adder]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

[uncut shadow]

Wait do you judge as well?

[plucky arch]

nope

[uncut shadow]

Well since you're a contest manager i just figured

[plush vale]

these are staff judged contests, and the other contesta re ocmmunity voting, either way no

[misty acorn]

just put yourself into shoes mentally and the ideas will come

[stiff valley]

he's not staff

[frosty adder]

I wonder how my pieces would have done in a community vote

[plucky arch]

you did actually, just give me an idea

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/its-been-a-pleasure-shake-hands-business-season2-narcos-gif-17141312

[plucky arch]

i know my most recent would have done Horribly

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1140038885695561748/1140040340049498112/423_Conquest_3.png

the people dont like pre evo fusions

[stiff valley]

give this sprite a W

[plush vale]

I feel like most people missed the eyeroll joke

[stiff valley]

ig it's literally a rolling eye

[frosty adder]

I mean I probably would have voted for it. I like it.

[plucky arch]

i hate whirlipede fusions so much. Ive made 2 and have another planned, but i hate them

making them that is

[wind matrix]

Tee couldn't vote because he entered into the contest

[uncut shadow]

Yeah that makes sense

[grand tusk]

Tee shouldn't be able to vote here either cause i've seen the opinion on tyrantrum

[frosty adder]

I'm near done with my next contest draft. I'll share it soon.

[misty acorn]

Yooo giving all entries a 0 kinda based tho

[uncut shadow]

I wanna sprite another rayquaza fusion but i feel like ill get hate like i used it to win cus rayquaza is a cool mon (legit had someone say that the only reason i got 2nd is because rayquaza is cool )

[wind matrix]

smh you got second because you made a good sprite

[misty acorn]

nah its a good sprite

not in my top 3 personally, but its definetly justified to be up there

[wind matrix]

there was another raquaza sprite that did poorly

[plush vale]

tyrantrum hydreigon ghidorah

[grand tusk]

how did my boi the mereidon sprite do?

[plucky arch]

if i vote

im giving every sprite a 0

[uncut shadow]

It got second to last i think

[plucky arch]

i hate tyrantrum

[wind matrix]

you're trying to steal the glory. the person didn't put their name for their entry

[plush vale]

#event-general message

[grand tusk]

wooo! the best sprites going up in the world!

[wind matrix]

but Tee. How can you hate the Tee-rex

[uncut shadow]

Why tho? Just a cool dinosaur

[grand tusk]

nuh uh, I just appreciate the good artists

[plucky arch]

because i like aurorus more and it deserved to get in instead

[grand tusk]

first ChefZebi now this

[plucky arch]

H3R0NX

[grand tusk]

I was too busy submitting my own art to enter a contest

[plucky arch]

thats who made it

[uncut shadow]

Nah i like Aurorus too but that's no excuse to shame on Mr dino here

[wind matrix]

I know they didn't put their name, so how

[plucky arch]

if i vote every sprite gets a 0 unless its a relicanth, then its 10

i make my own rules

[plucky arch]

im just built different

[wind matrix]

Tee gonna sabatoge the votes lol

[grand tusk]

>whitename
>Purely uses vote-discussion

yep. Thats all I have to say about it.

[plucky arch]

technically if i give everyone 0 my vote does not matter at all

[wind matrix]

tru

[plucky arch]

well unless its a relicanth

[frosty adder]

Alright, draft has been posted.

[uncut shadow]

Damn you did amazing

[misty acorn]

Maybe all us tyrantrum haters should start making rampardos fusions out of spite now

[uncut shadow]

So fast as well

[frosty adder]

I love Rampardos, it's actually my favorite fossil Pokemon

@plush vale what's that about?

[plush vale]

head collisions

[frosty adder]

And?

[wind matrix]

best guess is Dragnoran had an adhd thought connection about rampardos head-butting each other

[plush vale]

or somebody else gettin headbutted, but yeah rampardos-->headbutt-->🤕

how bout rampardos psyduck , strongest headache

[frosty adder]

I was honestly surprised to find out Rampardos isn't really that popular. I thought it had a great design.

[foggy reef]

what a pleasant surprise

didn't expect to get a spotlight hehe

[plain otter]

Is it allowed to use a custom base for the contest entry?

[autumn epoch]

Yup, I used one for the Scolipede contest 🙂

[dawn prairie]

Sometimes people will say not to use them for contests in their post on assets gallery but otherwise you're all good

[plain otter]

Alright, thanks

[stiff valley]

@torn ocean you're kidding me right

[torn ocean]

Forgot to delete "Contest Entry" word. Sorry:))

[stiff valley]

still, you uploaded it as a feraligatr and now that tyrantrum is in you're reuploading it without even editing it it still has the feraligatr traits

[misty acorn]

lol

[torn ocean]

I have mention that it will be Tyrantrum body if it become an IF in my spritework's post. Beside it still have a lot of Tyrantrum's features.

[dawn prairie]

Actually if it was worked on before the contest then i dont think it's even eligible

[torn ocean]

I Forgot to delete "Contest Entry" word. Sorry:)). I won't be in the contest

[zinc lion]

I got dibs on mecha drago

[misty acorn]

too late

anslee is already working on it

[zinc lion]

Dang!

[frosty adder]

I say go for it anyways since you can't claim fusions

I found out only after I finished mine that someone else actually made a Darkrai/Tyrantrum already. Oops

[zinc lion]

I know, was joke lol

[frosty adder]

Anticipation for feedback is rough

[crystal hill]

I think I'm gonna start on a sprite for this one tomorrow, haven't done any sprites in a while

I wanna do hoppip because that's my favourite pokemon to do sprites for, but have no idea how I'm gonna go about this one

guess I'll have to figure it out

excited to see what other people who have more ideas than me come up with

[plush vale]

very dif styles though

[frosty adder]

Still the same idea

[plush vale]

also katten addiitonalyl pinged another person to do it before either of ya

[frosty adder]

😔

[soft saddle]

Hmm, debating between rapidash/typhlosion and Arceus

I want to do fun stuff with the neck ruff

[crystal hill]

rapidash sounds awesome as fuck

do that one

[green plume]

Yeah

[plush vale]

why is a user who hasn't said anything submittin a mammuth sprite in contest?

[crystal hill]

why not?

[wanton osprey]

i think what he's saying is that it's a stolen sprite

[crystal hill]

oh, that's not good

[wanton osprey]

and stolen it is

[frosty adder]

🤨

Pretty bad of a supposed previous contest champion to be stealing sprites

[wanton osprey]

if you're talking about mammuth THEY made the sprite and whoever this umbreon person is (who has never posted a single message in this server) stole it

[frosty adder]

Oh

Oh my bad

Totally misinterpreted what was going on

[sleek trail]

Can I post an alt for a contest?

[frosty adder]

Do you have an entry already?

[sleek trail]

Not yet

[plucky arch]

@misty acorn they took your advice too literally smh

[crystal hill]

here's my tyrantrum/feraligatr fusion that I made

[plush vale]

they stole the advice too? smh

[frosty adder]

The other Darkrai/Tyrantrum disappeared 😦

[plush vale]

it got posted

[frosty adder]

But it didn't get much constructive feedback yet. I'm surprised.

All well, I wish that entry luck

[indigo ice]

ive felt good about both my sprites but theyve both been about middle of the ladder which means its time for me to pull out a big gun

poor basard

[plush vale]

I think threats are frowned upon

[frosty adder]

I'm so sorry Aurorus, you were the fossil I used on my Y team and thus you hold a special place in my heart.

[primal iron]

Is there a way to know why a sprite got disqualified from the contest?

mine's no where to be seen so I assume I fucked something up so i'd like to know what it was so I don,t do it again

[errant yarrow]

which one did you enter? Shedinja? That would be sad if something got messed up with that one because it was really good

[wind matrix]

message a contest manager. it shouldn't get disqualified unless you stole the sprite

[modern vapor]

hmm, what would be a good way to start designing a sprite? or should I just mess around till I get an idea I like

[plush vale]

some dom sketching, make sure to read #spriting-guidelines

#1051343819314053160 is good too

[primal iron]

Yeah, the shedinja/scoliopede one 😦

[versed ridge]

will be any legends or mythicals getting early confirmation contests 🥹

or are they being saved for the end of the updated dex

[foggy spruce]

how does one go about voting in the weekly mini-contests

[plush vale]

become a staff member, dif system for those

[foggy spruce]

oh, only the staff vote for those?

[plush vale]

ye

[foggy spruce]

dang, aight

[plush vale]

they judge more accurately

[wind matrix]

become a staff member

[left heath]

From what I've seen, they judge less on references & cool curiosities and more on accuracy to the originals and how it fits into the game (both shading and feeling wise)

which makes sense from a game designing standpoint

[wind matrix]

Fun fact, if I can't tell what your fusion is, I automatically give it a 0

[modern vapor]

hmm, got a fusion idea. just gotta think how to make it a thing

[modern vapor]

trying to tell what that is fully

[fringe mica]

its tyrantrum time

im going to unleash my secret weapon

[modern vapor]

doing a rather unusual fusion, thinking how to fix them in a way. without making one very much more visible than the other

[silver solar]

Thats how i work when i vote for contests or msv too

[modern vapor]

I feel like being able to identify the fusion, kinda important

[silver solar]

Yeah, although for some evo lines i let it slide if i cant tell which in the line

[modern vapor]

true, just having fun atm. Doing line art, before I attempt making the actual sprite

[supple magnet]

Ohhh, so I assume that's why my submission for the sableye contest got so low. Good to know

[hazy chasm]

anything u guys think i could add managers dont u peak

[sly goblet]

ah, a challenger.

also imma copy mr waffles question and ask if this needs any extra pizzazz

[hazy chasm]

hello sir i see u challanged me

[sly goblet]

yes

wait

urs is mime jr right?

mine is mr mime

[hazy chasm]

yeah

[hazy chasm]

O

[sly goblet]

lesgoooo

[plush vale]

lol he gets happier

[hazy chasm]

lessssssssss gooooooooooooo

[sly goblet]

also got any ideas 4 mine?

[plush vale]

curl like the shoe tip on the tail

[sly goblet]

maybe

oh and a version that has a soul

[cloud pulsar]

this is scary
you have an history of dont telling what things are
like that one time you thought milian pfp was an space abomination

[sly goblet]

lol

[wind matrix]

better make the fusion super clear then

[sly goblet]

lol

[modern vapor]

hmm, I forgot how awkward I find it is designing heads

[sly goblet]

hopefully my gremlin is clear enough

[modern vapor]

mine, I believe gonna be clear, at least to the evolutionary line

[royal canyon]

Fuck yeah, tyrantrum and no aurorus

Cool trex with no shitty long neck

[lunar comet]

inb4 i submit the two component pokemon standing next to each other

[plush vale]

or with soap bubbles

[wind matrix]

in b4 I give you a zero

[royal canyon]

?

[wind matrix]

is that rule 1 I see?

[versed ridge]

Your son

😁

[lunar comet]

i think you meant to say perish song

[royal canyon]

Aurorus people taking the loss hard

[versed ridge]

Perish song like like meloe-

[hazy chasm]

yeah more chance for the best ice type AVALUGGGGGGGG

[silver solar]

Rude

Plenty of people like aurorus. You dont have to call it shitty

Besides. It could still get in. I think the way it was announced was just to say that tyrunt doesn’t guarantee aurorus

[raven pulsar]

yeah they wanna keep us hooked

[uncut shadow]

So i gotta ask, will all the future contests from now on will only be staff votes or is it just for the mini contests

[hazy chasm]

i kinda like staff votes better tbh

[uncut shadow]

Yeah i dont mind them i think its fair

Just asking for general knowledge

[plush vale]

mini, would prob be a nightamre to maintain for normal ones, ntm community engagement

I think theres just not time for brackets and stuff with quick turnaround needed here

[modern vapor]

hmm, trying to think of a good pixel size for this

[plush vale]

I assume ya don't mean the canvas

[modern vapor]

nah, for the actual sprites

cause I see some 3x3 pixels and such

[plush vale]

for that people basically do it at x96 and size it up *3

for canvas, which makes the 3x3 pixels

read #spriting-guidelines if that wasn't known to ya

if it was, mb for miscommunication

[wind matrix]

work in a 1x1 pixel size on a 96x96 canvas. And when you post it, sizeit up by 3 to 288x288

[limpid sphinx]

#1142697158835962007 maybe i need some feedback on my entry :p

[modern vapor]

hmm, got most of my lines done. just gotta figure how to actually design the head

[odd sonnet]

Okay how do I submit I can't figure it out

[tepid gyro]

looks like you just click the link in the contest announcement and upload your file

[sly ether]

Oh em gee I was gonna do mamo too, you did amazing!

[limpid sphinx]

tysmm!! ❤️

[sly ether]

Ofc Ofc!!

[dense jackal]

Make sure to follow these tips as well #event-announcements message

[hazy tapir]

Im drawn between Aggron/Tyrantrum or Hydreigon/Tyrantrum cus I’ve got ideas for both

I might just do both and pick whichever one I think came out better for the contest lol

[toxic jolt]

I would appreciate some feedback if anyone has spare time https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1142770030480719892

[ionic pulsar]

Wheredo I get the tyrantrym sprite?

wait nvm

[scarlet shoal]

Idk what fusion t do

[uncut shadow]

go to the calculator and continuously click random until you made up your mind (worked for me)

[scarlet shoal]

Found a fusion

[paper trench]

[lunar comet]

i'm paranoid and i would like as much feedback as possible before i submit my laser boi (i'm not submitting the one that's actually firing the laser though, that would be silly) #1142673125713137836

there's a tyrunt base in there too, i'll post that to assets gallery in a moment

[crisp cargo]

what does tyrantrum add that ttar and rampardos don't already do

[hazy tapir]

Any help on this guy cus I'm struggling lol https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1142819106471559198

[misty acorn]

lmao
#sprite-gallery message

Staff you better make him win for old times sake

[thick harness]

I don't know if they can enter that sprite unfortunately though; since it was technically made before the contest announcement... not sure they could just make him win anyway lol

[misty acorn]

Don't know if he's even trying to enter, I'm just having fun

[weary seal]

Very late but are we still allowed to ask what improvements we could do for future contest sprites? I was super happy with the placing I got for this guy (26!! huge for me!!) and was curious how I can improve further

[stiff valley]

Not fusing pidgey ?

[errant yarrow]

I love fusing pokemon that you will never see in game (see my contest entry :^) )

[weary seal]

pidgey deserves love too! But it is good to know for future contests! Next time I'll use pidgotto

[stiff valley]

Lol

It looks good, but like looking good is bare minimum in a contest lol

[primal iron]

step 1 of making your sprite stand out in a contest; make your own base with unique pose

[stiff valley]

So true

[molten crater]

Tyrantrum is such a big sprite, it amazes me how people get their ideas done so fast

[plucky arch]

step 2: use a legendary, or fully evolved mon

[ember obsidian]

Does anyone have the link to the venipede contest folder? I'd like to add the results to my game if at all posable.

[misty acorn]

No, this is far above thr bare minimum!

the shading/texturing is superb and really feels like feathers and the feather horns are a suber creative addition that had probably never been done before by any other spriters

[errant yarrow]

I mean they still got 26th which is really good

their advice is just to push it to the next level

[dusk schooner]

I think that one's awesome

[misty acorn]

@plain otter you have to add your name to your contest entry in the drive

[errant yarrow]

venipede isnt actually in the game yet and I am sure that most of the contest entries have been uploaded to sprite-gallery so when venipede gets added they should mostly be in

[plain otter]

I just did

[misty acorn]

bad timing then

[shut cipher]

Jc how do people vote

[primal iron]

These short-term contest are voted on by the staff only to speed things up

[shut cipher]

Ah ok

I was wondering, then that means there are many staff lol

[subtle moss]

matpat added a fusion?

[toxic jolt]

Hi, would you mind voting which sprite you prefer for me sending to the contest? (Last message) Thanks! 😊 #1142770030480719892 message

[ashen sapphire]

alright time to actually make my entry

[molten vector]

I'm on vacation seeing family and this little guy was a top pick I'll have to try making something with my phone

He's beautiful. Gonna win the contest. Just need to resize him

[ruby wyvern]

yo im hype Tyrunt my 2nd fav pokemon and I would totally do a full tyrunt fusion run.

i already got ideas some pokemon i wana combine with.

[plush vale]

fuse to utillize strong jaw with stab

or with rampardos for your super hard hitting head smash no recoil boi

[primal iron]

Pack your tablets everyone, we got a winner here

[toxic jolt]

Man stop abusing 🤬 Let other people have opportunities

[molten vector]

I got ahead of myself, went too hard on this guy instead of giving others a chance 😩

[hazy chasm]

you should be banned its to good to be allowed

[gleaming sand]

I need to go all out for this contest

(It's my first time)

[hazy chasm]

lets gooooooo

[gleaming sand]

Are you happy because you like my sprites?

[hazy chasm]

no im happy because youre trying hard for this contest and that means good sprites so i guess

[gleaming sand]

Fair

[gleaming sand]

i have decided what i'm gonna make

tyrantrum/aerodactyl

fatalis

I already have a rough sketch of the head

[raven pulsar]

im doing kabutops/tyrantrum

[clever field]

Are you allowed to use someone else's custom base for a contest submission? Or would that count as a collaboration?

[misty acorn]

you can as long as it doesnt say otherwise on the base post

[clever field]

okay thanks!

[rugged hemlock]

My advice is avoid sfx or reference fusions, they don’t go over well with the judges (and tbh too much sfx is more of a crutch anyways)

[gleaming sand]

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrate-gif-22469816

[ashen sapphire]

reference fusions CAN still get decent ratings, second place in sableye mini-contest is a reference, but the harder you lean into the referenve the worse it seems to perform

[cedar quest]

That's not quite it either, with referrences you need to make sure they are well fitting & not poorly executed. Just shoehorning something in heavily to force the referrence is always going to do worse than incorporating the referrence in a coherant design

[solemn orbit]

mwahahaha mine is entered

Time to watch it crash and burn >:)

[gleaming sand]

i am not creative enough to do something else

[fleet crown]

The people who play random will love you.

[fleet crown]

The Sableeye/Steelix? The heck is that a reference to? Looks really well integrated whatever the reference is, would never have known looking at it.

[plush vale]

some terraria thing

something based on same thing did well in another contest I think

[fleet crown]

Eater of Worlds / Destroyer

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/characterprofile/images/0/00/Destroyer.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20200826211433

I can see it.

Though even though I have like 1000 hours in Terraria I probably would never have recognized it if someone hadn't told me the game the reference was from.

[ashen sapphire]

it's actually xm05-thanatos from the terraria calamity mod

[fleet crown]

Oh okay, in that case it's super obvious lol. I've never played Calamity mod.

[ashen sapphire]

lol~

[karmic grove]

I made a Sharpedo/Tyrantrum sprite for the contest but I missed that sharpedo was not existing already in game so I can't submit it I want to die

[plush vale]

always check, and at least fun sprite and maybe sharpedo propaganda

[karmic grove]

Yeah

[stiff valley]

sharpedo probably isn't making it into the game too, because of the second part of its name

also ew water type we don't need more of these

[plush vale]

heard they'd just split it into edo

[toxic jolt]

Ngl I started doing a Tyrantrum/Gigalith until I realized haha

[karmic grove]

[subtle moss]

could seperate it into sharp-edo

[plush vale]

we need a shark though

[stiff valley]

garchomp:

[plush vale]

garchomp doesn't suffice for a lotta uses

[stiff valley]

[plush vale]

also has utility in missile and other stuff

[karmic grove]

"pedo" just mean child nothing wrong If you don't have a misplaced mind

[stiff valley]

everyone will think of that

[karmic grove]

Yeah

[plush vale]

again just split sharp edo

[karmic grove]

Yes

[raven pulsar]

what if its fused with a head thats prefix ends in p-

[tepid seal]

It'll end up sounding normal, like sharpedo

[subtle moss]

that's what I said

[plush vale]

that's why I said again

[subtle moss]

and honestly having fusions that start with 'sharp' could sound really cool

hm. Sharpedo/Honedge would be a little on the nose

[fleet crown]

If it's really an issue they can split it at Sharpe-do and destroy the problem once and for all.

But edo is probably enough

[subtle moss]

hey, what does that sharpie do?

[crisp cargo]

really good sprite though

[olive ledge]

Die due to 4x lightning damage

[plush vale]

but sharpedo only has 2x

[olive ledge]

Sharpedo + Starmie is Sharpie, right? Would that not create a 4x?

[subtle moss]

well no it's not gonna be water type twice

Water/Psychic I suppose.

[olive ledge]

Ah, that makes sense I suppose

[wind matrix]

it would be water psychic, ye

[subtle moss]

dude imagine if being single type gave you double the weaknesses and double the STAB

[wind matrix]

that would be so broken

[olive ledge]

^That's what I thought it was. I've been going my entire career in this game thinking that

[subtle moss]

oh

well it isn't

[plush vale]

you couldnt be double 1 type for stab until terrastalize

[olive ledge]

Ah, well, I appear to be a little bit stupid. But good to know still!

[subtle moss]

If that were the case people would respect having the normal type on a dual typed pokémon

[late sequoia]

Weakness wise it would be terrible. Cause most types have 2-3 weaknesses. So now you are dealing with 2-3 quad weaknesses making it as bad as grass/bug types.

[olive ledge]

I think it would make for an interesting game mode tbh

[subtle moss]

yeah it would make every single single-type pokémon a glass cannon

hits hard, gets hit harder

[vapid sedge]

is that zamtrios

[subtle moss]

Zamazenta/Dugtrio

[subtle moss]

Had to look up what that is, and I think that's a strech.

[vapid sedge]

I've seen other monsterhunter fusions so i just assumed

[subtle moss]

Oh that was a serious question

nah it's just a regular fusion

[undone crag]

Alright, just submitted. This is my first contest btw so please let me know if I did something wrong (pretty sure I read the rules right but wanna make sure).

(Am I allowed to show what I did here btw or can I not yet?)

[half rapids]

u can!

[undone crag]

(Should I scale it up for submission or is this fine?)

[late sequoia]

It is required to be upscaled to 288x288 for submission

[undone crag]

Ah gotcha, I thought it said it had to be UNDER that. I'll redo submisison.

[silver solar]

You can absolutely run it through spritework now if you want

[undone crag]

Oh aight, I'll try to do so then.

So from what I understand, things posted in #1050404143807873157 eventually get cycled into #sprite-gallery right? Or do I need to get the Spriter role for it to even be considered?

[acoustic light]

you need the spriter role in order to post to the gallery

[silver solar]

No, they can get harvested

[slow gyro]

Right now I have just made one posible sprite for the contest

Im planing on doing more, I just haven’t got any ideas

I mean, i got one but idk which mons could pull it off

Im thinking Aggron, but I’m still unsure

Also I would have to work it from scratch, and work a metallic texture again

And I’m to lazy to do it again

[graceful plank]

wtf is this lol

[slow gyro]

The Ultimasaurus

[graceful plank]

some kind of stego/anky/triceratops theropod hybrid?

looks stupid

[slow gyro]

Lmao

Here’s fully grown in the game

[uncut flint]

Huh the winners and 2nd/3rd for the mini contests all had 60-70 votes, are there really at least that many staff

[plush vale]

score isn't votes there judging its a 1-5 scale or something forget exactly but max was like 75 overall

[uncut flint]

Ah ok, that would make a lot more sense, I was like didnt think this game has such a big dev team

[graceful plank]

I am so confused. it's just mad edgy

[slow gyro]

Yes

In the game all Dinos start being just pale and boring

And as they level up, they gain more colors and elements

Horns, feathers, etc

[zinc lion]

I hope no one beat me to it

[plush vale]

whos that with

[zinc lion]

skarmory

[graceful plank]

is that blue eyes white dragon?!

[zinc lion]

sure is :D

probably not the first one lol but hopefully it's the first in this contest

[plush vale]

wouldnt it be blue eyes shining

#1142965265836019755 message

[zinc lion]

this is skarmory/tyrantrum so still unique lol

[plush vale]

ah

[slow gyro]

Now I have to potential contest entries but im not sure which should join the contest, or if I should one more

[foggy reef]

It's hard to choose

[quartz locust]

This conversation got a bit too #1050404143807873157 heavy, I reckon. Keep feedback-related stuff there. 🙂

👀

[foggy reef]

oh whoops

sorry blaq

I thought we were allowed to talk about what things we are gonna submit

honest mistake hehe

[lament forum]

I think both are good enough join the contest

[stiff valley]

@wheat socket i'm sorry to tell you that but by the rules you have to make a new sprite for the contest, not one you already made before

[fast bough]

@midnight spear may I ask you, why you entry is a word document?

[stiff valley]

[wind matrix]

@midnight spear uhh, this isn't an image. make sure it's a png file 😅

I have no idea who made this. You need to put your name in the file name

[frail vortex]

huh, dreamt the theme for the next contest was "sprites that have ample bosom without being nsfw" which im sure would’ve worked out just fine 🤔

[gleaming sand]

Definitely steelix

[dense drum]

broo the first one is crazy, the second one is so cool too but the steelix one is magnific

[lament fiber]

Crazy?

[midnight spear]

Uh when i go on google drive it show me the image

Its a png file

That this image i uploaded

That so weird

I'll change

I checked and i got the image AND the word file

I swear a didnt uploaded this file that so weird

Anyways its fixed the strange word file has been deleted

[quartz locust]

People can't give opinions here (on sprites that are being entered in and haven't yet been voted out of a contest, anyway). 😛

[hazy chasm]

O😭

[ember obsidian]

Ok, thanks

[lunar comet]

#1143015551732551721 looks like it's this one

[hazy chasm]

i pinged him hes gonna do it when he gets home

[grand tusk]

a new best sprite, finally

[plucky arch]

got that google doc submission

[shrewd field]

where are the polls for the Scolipede contest?

[late sequoia]

No polls, these mini contests are staff judged since its quicker

Results are above the Tyrunt contest announcement

[haughty haven]

hey what exactly is the "staff spotlight?" I've noticed the last two minis had it, just curious

[stiff valley]

just a sprite that we liked and that wasn't that high in the rankings

there's no exact rules to what the spotlight will be

[bronze niche]

Hello i am person 9999 who would like the tryantrum assets where do i get em

[stiff valley]

and it doesn't give anything besides more people looking at it

#1142534431337365614

[haughty haven]

oh that's fun, thanks

[chrome summit]

One question, the sprites that are postes in the actual contest, how many of them are going to be putted in the game

[subtle moss]

any of them as long as spriters post them to the gallery

doing good in the contest does not dictate getting into the game or anything

The contest is just to get people to make sprites I guess

[chrome summit]

Then, any spriter can poss a sprite in the gallery( not made by him/her) and it will ve in the game

[subtle moss]

That I do not know

I've seen it happen but I dunno if it's encouraged

[chrome summit]

One example, a fusion created by me, tyrunt with pikachu, if one spriter likes it, for that the sprite could be introduce in the game

[subtle moss]

Honestly, Imma hand that question off to someone else, I do not know how to answer that

[devout hare]

In instances when someone who isn't officially a spriter yet for whatever reason but made a sprite that is good enough to be added to the game,
someone can ping a sprite manager for that sprite to be salvaged by a bot. Those then have the proper credit if the right image gets salvaged.

Happend 2 or 3 times for team wild where someone made a sprite that can show up in the wild but the user didn't have the role yet.
We just asked the spriter if they were ok with it to be added and then a sprite manager for the salvage if they agreed.

ideally you do go for the spriter role so that the sprite manager don't have to do extra work but in some situations this kinda has to happen.

[chrome summit]

ok thanks

[karmic grove]

New Duskull /Tyrantrum running for into the contest

[subtle moss]

||Are there even rounds here||

[tepid seal]

||I think so||

[plush vale]

the official skeleton we've seen has bones in crest

see pins to look at 360

oh you mean the fur one

[rough talon]

yeah AHGUJHAHDUHSUDFHSD

smh

[plush vale]

spears stuck in back clearly

[carmine tusk]

Those bones are clearly it choking on a bone
That's how it died

[plush vale]

just like dialga 😔

[spark glacier]

Yo whoever made the tyrantrum and bisharp fusion turn into glavenus, you're a genius

[plush vale]

you can check from thegallery

in:sprite-gallery bisharp/tyrantrum @spark glacier

[cloud pulsar]

you mean that you are going to get a low rating?
cuz this contest doesnt have rounds

[plush vale]

there are not its just judgin

[tepid seal]

Ye, then the contest wasn't what I thought it was

[plush vale]

the mini ones are dif

[lapis dust]

Are you allow/supposed to get feedback for contest entries?

[plush vale]

you are allowed yeah in #1050404143807873157 in mini oens that are staff judged theres also less issue with rule 7 as y can't bias votes talking bout it elsewhere

[vivid glacier]

what counts as a collaboration for the rules?

[plush vale]

if you both work on a sprite, custom bases are fine

[hard grove]

nest context whey.

[plush vale]

well we need to know which nest ya mean to give context

[hard grove]

I see a fusion in the google drive that was made before the contest announcement.

[quartz locust]

You don't give feedback here, it's not a feedback channel. 😦

You're not allowed to post stuff like this either. 😅

Oh wait, it's judged, so that last one I guess was fine. 😉

I'm just in Contest Defender mode. 😛

[hazy tapir]

Is this one allowed? I’m sure I’ve seen it on Reddit before the contest was announced and it seems others have pointed this out too
(Absolutely no hate to the creator, this is a stunning sprite and I absolutely love it. It just doesn’t follow that rule I think?)

Yeah, 1 year ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pokemonart/comments/uniuzz/aggrontyrantrum_fusion_normal_and_shiny/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

[graceful plank]

it's a mammuth, it's been brought up and I am pretty sure it will be DQed because it was mostly made earlier

[wheat socket]

i didn't imagine there was this rule.. i thought everything was ok because it was a new sprite for the game but originally i made it for my instagram page

[midnight spear]

I dont think its a problem to post a old sprite made before the contest since there is tyrantrum in the fusion 🤷🏼

[graceful plank]

the rules do say it needs to have been made after the announcement

[gusty frost]

I made one yesterday does it count to the tournment?

[cloud solstice]

as long as it's made after the announcement it's good, if you made it yesterday it's good

[hazy tapir]

The sprite was made 1 year ago-

[hazy tapir]

And yeah thats fine

[wheat socket]

I hadn't read that rule, as soon as I saw that the Tyrantrum contest was there I took it and published it for the enthusiasm haha 😆 . I apologize for the distraction.

[hazy tapir]

Its fine lol everyone makes mistakes

Its just that sprite is so bloody good that it probably wouldve won when it breaks a rule

[misty acorn]

Maybe the contest managers knew that mammuth still had a tyrantrum fusion in his bag and made the rule to stop him

[silver merlin]

that rule has been there since like 2021 😭

[wheat socket]

although I don't understand the logical sense of this rule, especially in this specific contest concerning the addition of a new pokemon in the game (my personal thought, feel free to contradict me)

[cyan bramble]

Because everyone one has the same amount of time to make a sprite

[subtle moss]

if you already worked on it before you get a head start, so to speak

[cold horizon]

This rule was initially made so that people would make more NEW sprites for the game and would not use sprites they already made FOR the game

since this sprite was never meant for the game in the first place I dont see a problem with mammuth using it for the contest

this rule was meant for increasing the overall amount of custom sprites meant for the game after all

but hey thats just my opinion

[misty acorn]

kinda agree

[gusty frost]

Yeah this rule dont make sense for newcomers since theres no sprites for then at all

[subtle moss]

Although the head start thing is an issue too, so I feel like the rule should be kept

[crisp cargo]

it's in the interest of fairness really 🤷

[dense jackal]

And so it will, since this sprite already exists and mammuth will have to make a new one 😆

[summer nebula]

I think it's also to prevent people spending ages making high-quality sprites, then not submitting them so they can keep them ready for a contest

since it's not really fair on the people that keep to the contest timeframe having to compete with people that've had much more time

[subtle moss]

although they can still do that if they just keep it on their computer

[silver merlin]

i think the rule was that the sprite had to be made within the week the contest was announced in

or something like it

but yeah, contests were made to get new sprites for the game, and this rule promotes that more

[subtle moss]

I'm thinking the next big contest should be "starter middle evolutions". :p

unless that's been done

[silver merlin]

well NO because IM THE CONTEST MANAGER

and i think it should be an oshawott classic comp

[subtle moss]

well it would make sense to do more of these small contests for Pokémon with a low custom rate

[silver merlin]

like oshawott 🥺

[subtle moss]

oshawott isn't in the game

[silver merlin]

is what you think :33333

[subtle moss]

I was gonna type 'yet', indeed.

[silver merlin]

(im messing with you LOL

besides we will focus on the new pkmn comps for now, so we'll wait a bit with the next contests

we'll see :3

[subtle moss]

I still think it was dumb for all the starters of a gen to be clumped together in the poll

[dense jackal]

Not really. It's very reasonable to group them as a package deal. It's what people expect when they see one of a set

[misty acorn]

no it was perfect because now we get none, which is the best outcome

(Well the best outcome would be NOT getting 15 dragon types but lets see how that one goes)

[lunar comet]

https://tenor.com/view/endgame-avengers-hawkeye-clint-barton-dont-give-me-hope-gif-15254733

[lapis dust]

This is going to be a fierce contest

[thick harness]

Indeed; contests always have amazing sprites but i've seen so many amazing ones this time around

[subtle moss]

I really should try and get mine finished in a timely fashion

[plush vale]

I think part of point is otherwise people who'd worked on it before could have a huge advantage in terms of time worked on it

[main hare]

you got this champ

[left heath]

I havent even started

[cloud pulsar]

same

[lunar comet]

you guys should finish your sprite day 1 so that way you can wait the full week for no one to give any meaningful feedback whatsoever

[crystal hill]

I don't think I'm gonna finish my sprite, I'm way too busy :(

[hard grove]

which?

[crystal hill]

oh I hadn't posted anything yet, had a few sketches for hoppip/tyrunt

[toxic jolt]

Could someone send me some Tyrantrum alts??? (Obviously telling me the name ok the oc so I can give them credit)

[plush vale]

check in assets gallery or term tyranitar base or tyranitar custom in sprite-gallery

[toxic jolt]

Ok thanks!

[rough talon]

ah sorry!! shouldve probably looked for a feedback thread before doing that one

[dense jackal]

#1142534431337365614 message

[toxic jolt]

Thanks!!!!!!

[plush vale]

based on not being a spriters the yyrunt seems like it has some more technical aspects, and it's a bit clearer who it's with (tyrunt) which they def value here

[subtle moss]

Only just realized that having Tyrunt is gonna make a lot of funny fusion names

[rugged hemlock]

Are we allowed to post our sprites here? Sorry if not 😅

[subtle moss]

probably not encouraged

If you wanna know which one to submit you could run a poll by spritework questions

[plush vale]

ik it's lets of an issue witht he staff judge mini contests where ya aint gonna bias anybody not sure if they frown on it or not though

[rugged hemlock]

Yeahh that’s why I was thinking it would probably be ok

Just deleted the original message, I’ll ask in spritework questions

[slow gyro]

I finally uploaded my entry

[slow gyro]

XD

[pearl latch]

Brain small, contest ends on 26th right?

[slow gyro]

24

[pearl latch]

Oh heck

[slow gyro]

You can press the amount of days left and discord would tell you the exact time

[pearl latch]

Oooh that's so neat, thanks!

[outer valve]

i have made one fusion and have no more ideas

everybody already made my other ones 💀

[plush vale]

you can only submit one to the mini contests though

[cunning zinc]

Alriggght I'm in

[slow gyro]

I’ve made 4 bodies and 4 heads

8 total

[plush vale]

do dodrio to get 3 more heads

[cloud solstice]

Exeggcute

[fringe mica]

bruh

[rough talon]

@jaunty zodiac i think this is you, but your sprite isnt labeled !

im unsure who this one is....

[lusty crystal]

I think I saw someone make a forum post about it yesterday or today so you should be able to use that to find out

[rough talon]

ah yup

@fresh kindle

@gusty frost also missing a name!

@heady moat you as well

im p sure thats everyone whos missing a name on their files

and, by the by, you dont need to resubmit if you didnt know already

[fresh kindle]

oh wait tysm for letting me know

[rough talon]

np lmao

i just noticed a lot of missing ones this time around and felt since theres only really a day left its probably best to inform people now

[fresh kindle]

also I just realized I replied to the wrong message xd

I see the Cubone line seems to be pretty popular in the contest XD

[rough talon]

psh, that and charmander

part of the reason why i asked for someone to assign me a random mon was because of this lmao

i dont think its an issue per se, but its a lot better to go for something nobody else will think of by virtue of not feeling like a fool for getting lower or higher than the other

[quartz locust]

You're in the wrong channel for game help (#gameplay-help) and also the wrong channel for Spanish conversations (#español). 😦

[lusty crystal]

Next contest I’m gonna do a fusion with the most random Pokémon ever

[rough talon]

im gonna be honest

i just hope someone does hoppip tyrantrum at this rate

because then there would be a perfected trio

[misty acorn]

I thought about it actually lmao

[rough talon]

SNIFFLES

did you already submit something

you have time still if not

[misty acorn]

I'm working on something else but idk if I'll make it in time for the contest

[vestal token]

I drew a head and I am struggling so hard to figure out a body lol

[rough talon]

AHHH THATS SO SAD i love this

[rough talon]

Felt

cant really help... but i wish u luck

[vestal token]

never realized how wide tyrantrum is lol

thanks 🙂

How do you order the dex numbers for submissions? this is my first one

[lusty crystal]

Search for the Pokémon in https://if.daena.me/ to find out it’s Pokédex. Order goes Head.Body

[vestal token]

okay thank you

[plucky arch]

ah, i havent made a sprite yet lmao

[heady moat]

Ah, thanks for the heads up!

[gleaming sand]

I was supposed to make an amazing, beautiful sprite but i procrastinated

[misty acorn]

Me: Complains about Tyrantrum and about how much worse of an addition it is compared to Sableye and Venpiede
Also me: Puts like 10 times more effort into his contest entry than for the previous two

[jaunty zodiac]

Oh yeah, sorry! How do I fix that, like what kind of label do you need?

[primal iron]

You need to add your name, rename the file to add "by SabreXB70" after the numbers

otherwise they won't know who made it!

[jaunty zodiac]

Oh ok; thanks! I’ll make sure to get on that soon

[primal iron]

Also, looks like @gusty frost's is also missing a name 🙂

lots of solid entries this time around again, looking forward to the results

[gusty frost]

fix it thanks for telling

its my first contest

[primal iron]

np!

[solemn orbit]

Lookin forward to getting 6 votes again

[undone crag]

If you’re worried there’s still time to improve it!

[hazy tapir]

I think I was the first to do Typhlosion/Tyrantrum but the other ones are way better than mine lmoooo rip me

[primal iron]

considering how many potential combination there are, it always amuse me to see how many duplicates there are

[slow gyro]

If we had two entries, I would have entered mine lol

But tbf i really liked all the Typhlosion/Tyrantrum I’ve seen

Lmao imagine first three places being the same fusion

[carmine tusk]

There's always gonna be duplicates for the popular ones or for ones with a clear way of fusing them

[thick harness]

Yeah; unfortunately fusing pokémon like Spearow doesn't make for a contest winning sprite...

(take this as a challenge to make a winning Spearow sprite )

[carmine tusk]

(Unless it's a spearow contest)

[left heath]

Yes, do it well (since I won't be making this for the contest )

[hard grove]

Now I want to make my Blisharp the pink ranger.

[slender thunder]

can I change my contest submission?

[left heath]

yeah you can, just delete your submission and upload another

just dont delete someone else's okay?

[thick shadow]

Can I upload my sprite to the drive?

[cloud solstice]

@thick shadow you can only submit one entry and you tyrantrum is missing your username

[thick shadow]

Oh ok

[thick shadow]

It's not i think

[cloud solstice]

there's less than a day before the submission window ends

[shut cipher]

is it that sunday is when the winners are revealed?

[cloud solstice]

around 2 days after the end of submissions

[half rapids]

for the contest, do you think ones that follow the pokemon style more are better than ones with extra details / look more "cool"?

[slow gyro]

No idea

[half rapids]

and for sprites in general too, is there one people'd rather have in the game. Because I think I have got the pokemon style down and then I see these crazy ones that are super high quality and great shading and it makes me feel not as good at spriting :(

[hazy chasm]

same

[silver merlin]

all im saying is that if the danish flag is in there thats an instant 5 🔥 🔥 🔥

[slow gyro]

I believe overshading and sfx aren’t as appreciated as in a regular contest lol

[outer valve]

same lmao

[half rapids]

trying to decide if I try to get to the "next level" of spiriting, or I just stay happy with my skills and hone in on what I have more

[slow gyro]

Lmao I forgot to make a Danish Steel Dinosaur

[silver merlin]

hurry up

[half rapids]

bc damn y'all are talented

[cloud solstice]

they rate the sprite, so you can get an idea of how "good" it is by the staff standard
you can ask for feedback too

[slow gyro]

As a i see it, every one of my sprites needs to be either equally or higher quality than my last one, so the only thing I can say is that you should always go far and beyond

Plus ultra

[half rapids]

Yeah, ok!

[silver merlin]

just do what you want to

which is the most boring answer ever probably

FUCK i still have to do backsprites for smogon

[outer valve]

https://tenor.com/view/go-beyond-plus-ultra-all-might-mha-bnha-memes-gif-19247796

[silver merlin]

im never going to do them

[outer valve]

[slow gyro]

Lmao backsprites are hell

[half rapids]

I used to draw a lot but my wrists are super messed up so I had to stop, ive been able to kinda draw again with pixel art so thats been nice

[slow gyro]

Yea don’t overwork yourself, a bit of a rest is always great

[half rapids]

for backsprites could you just get a render of its 3d model from the back as a reference

thats what I do for a lotta my poses to help me get started

[slow gyro]

I usually flip the sprite and then darken it all to have a siluetee, and then I draw over it doing changes and such

But that doesn’t mean it’s not hell lol

[half rapids]

oh yeah for sure

srsly tho to like every spriter, 3d models are a godsend for reference images if you need them

[slow gyro]

Ik but i don’t have a 3D program

Ik blender is free, but idk how to use it

Ik how to use Maya, which is hell

[half rapids]

oh noey! I am a 3d artist more than anything

do a lot of animation and materials

[slow gyro]

I hate 3D modeling lol

But I love animating

[eternal barn]

3D modeling will forever be the bane of my existence

[slow gyro]

3D animation is fine, i rather 2D animate, but I don’t have a problem with 3D animation

[half rapids]

I teach 12 year olds to 3D model as my job lmao

[plush vale]

4d animation

[slow gyro]

Lol that’s cool

[half rapids]

its hard to get into but honestly once you understand everything, it just becomes planning everything out

like knowing what might come back to bite you in the future, planning ahead. That's the harder part

oh and IK rigging

[slow gyro]

Lmao that’s also hell

Im sorry for me all that comes with 3D modeling is hell

It might be cause of either my teachers, or maybe the program I learned it in

[half rapids]

maya is hard AF

[slow gyro]

But I just don’t like it

[half rapids]

I use blender

[slow gyro]

Completely agree
