[heady moat]

Yours was one of my favorites, it's so creepy-cute

[thin dove]

it is now hitting me that i got a 4 and a 5 on the sprite I made

although it's obvious where i tried freehanding something i guess lmao, i shall try to polish up my shading next time

[silver solar]

The staff comments make me wish I submitted something

[steel vortex]

I didn't get comments I left them speechless

[crystal basalt]

We need at least 10 comments p[er staff voter

[silver solar]

I did see a milotic/froslass 2 staff couldnt tell was froslass

[steel vortex]

Sadly went to the wrong contest folder

[plush vale]

?

[cedar quest]

All the sheets are ready

[steel vortex]

Meant for the Katten one but ended up in the Skelen' votes

[cedar quest]

Now it's a matter of do I post them at 8, or post them, hide the channel, and reveal it @ 8?

[plucky arch]

the latter is much easier

[cedar quest]

True

[summer nebula]

you should post them now

[cedar quest]

You still don't get to vote 'till 8

But darn, why dOES THIS BOT NEVER WORK

Tympoll works just fine, but Pollpitoad? Never wants to do a thing

[steel vortex]

Give it some food

[cedar quest]

5 mins

eh...hell to it

[steel vortex]

Discord did not notify me

[plucky arch]

why would we feed it

[steel vortex]

It may work better

[arctic garnet]

Really surprising considering I almost didn't submit at all! Feedback really saved that one

[plush vale]

the man bot that does not work, shall not eat 😛

[steel vortex]

Poor thing

[plucky arch]

dragnoran gets it

[steel vortex]

Ooo 2 of these I had SUCH a hard time picking between they're so good, and one I just didn't vote

[arctic garnet]

Who made this Latios/Unown? Because I don't remember your name but I remember you saying this didn't stand a chance because it was so small. 4th Place! Well done!

[plucky arch]

@civic mauve

[limpid sphinx]

new contest when

sharpedo results when

[subtle moss]

nobody knoooooooooows

[slow gyro]

Torkoal contest when?

[vestal token]

I’m a bit confused. My sprite was in Katten’s voting but I did Flygon/Giratina. I don’t think my placing would’ve been much better but I panicked a bit when it wasn’t with the other flygons

[sick herald]

new fortnite contest when?

[indigo ice]

cant wait for the roserade contest

[mild crescent]

There been a skarmory contest already?

That's about all I can think I'd be most excited for

[limpid sphinx]

this should be cool fr

[limpid sphinx]

again :0

[steady pasture]

Actually surprised none of the Blazikens or Rayquazas won Blaq's category

[vestal token]

I thought this one was better than my sharpedo one so now I’m scared for those results

[indigo ice]

new roserade contest i enter wirh the exact same sprite i did last time just redrawn over it

[thin dove]

hooray more poll time! I hope my guy gets far 🙂

[eager jewel]

Thank you for the Help

[limpid sphinx]

hi toto

[hazy chasm]

i did pretty good

[limpid sphinx]

@plucky arch sorry for the ping, you pointed technical issues this time?

[plucky arch]

huh

[limpid sphinx]

like on comments or on your votes

like the last time you did something like technical issue = 0, this time you did something similar?

[plucky arch]

eh its more case by case

[limpid sphinx]

gotcha

[steady pasture]

Scored average as usual with 3s

[sick herald]

reminds me of ibushi

[limpid sphinx]

lol i only receive 2s :p

[sick herald]

thats crazy

[silk plank]

did okay at least

[outer valve]

if only i placed my cofagrigous/blastoise hand somehwere else

lol

that was one of the issues i got

[sick herald]

26th how?

its a biblically accurate jirachi

[silk plank]

🤷‍♂️

idk lol

[plucky arch]

did ya check comments, we got those

[silk plank]

i saw em, too many wings lol

that was the only comment i got

[limpid sphinx]

lol

[midnight dagger]

I feel kinda dumb asking, but, can anyone else vote on these two?
#special-contest-polls message
#special-contest-polls message

[limpid sphinx]

not rlly

probably gonna be remake soon

[acoustic saddle]

who is that judge that only give 1 and some half point, do they even take the contest seriously?

lower than 2 should give comment how is would be that low tbh

[plush vale]

feels rule 7'y to draw attention to specific ones even if not saying which to vote for

[midnight dagger]

No I mean like I literally cannot vote on those two

[plush vale]

lol

[buoyant ore]

I did about average which I am ok with. I'm a little sad I didn't place higher but that just means I need to work harder

[limpid sphinx]

maybe is some type of tie break shit? idk

[plush vale]

@cedar quest not seeing reacts for these?

[dense jackal]

It's the bias multiplier for the birthday person

[buoyant ore]

The last couple of contests were all ties so I wouldn't be surprised

[dense jackal]

it multiplies the score they gave

[slow gyro]

I’m still mad someone gave my Rad Wooper a one

[buoyant ore]

rip

[slow gyro]

I took that as a personal attack

[plush vale]

they couldn't handle the radicalness

[buoyant ore]

I love how nilego got 0

the comments on that one were so funny

[limpid sphinx]

lol talking about ones

the size apparently did not have the same weight in both...

not my sprites btw

^^

[slow gyro]

Winner looked thinner, it might have being it

[limpid sphinx]

well

if i send here all the points about that winner lmao

[acoustic saddle]

1 for number one

[acoustic saddle]

🗿then the name should stage that thou

[limpid sphinx]

looks fair

1 for be big
4 for be big but thinner

^^

covering the entire canvas btw)

and that can be funnier yet cuz the sprite is pretty big but the head is so tiny like

almost the same size of regular flygon eye

loool

[dense jackal]

Please remember these sprites were made by real people who are in this discord. Keep discussions of their work respectful and try to avoid questioning why sprites didn't do worse in the ratings as that's a very rude thing to do

[limpid sphinx]

tysm for the info

im not a judge so why cares about what im talking lol

[acoustic saddle]

:,v well its a perspective technique to make the body look bigger it seem

[plush vale]

still rude

[limpid sphinx]

rude for me is when in all the 3 results we can see comments about size but its not applied to all sprites 🤓

well

let it go

happy birthday

the real problem may be in your minds, i dont want it to be scored worse, i just think about how other spriters may have felt seeing that they received 1, 2 for size problems and other sprites with the same problem receiving 4.

but I wont say anything else, i dont want to be rude ^^

[vestal token]

I didn’t see any comments on mine so I don’t know why I scored so low

[limpid sphinx]

me too lol

mine is just "neutral" but i didnt see any coment in how could i improve it to good

maybe they dont want a good sprite idk

[cedar quest]

Similar to the issue you had earlier, any visial issue with the poll is client side

@midnight dagger

[plush vale]

odd we both had it

[cedar quest]

client side.

Nothin' I can do

[plush vale]

even a sick backflip?

[acoustic saddle]

maybe next time

[midnight dagger]

Okay I'll take a look on desktop tomorrow then. Thank you!

Cause Skateboard Wooper

This is cannon

[plucky arch]

thats a shoe

[acoustic saddle]

:0 i love cannon event

[plucky arch]

smhsmh

[slow gyro]

And I fused it with Squirtle to gave it cool glasses

[steady pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/caesar-canon-artillary-weapon-gif-20357103

[acoustic saddle]

what h do you want me to s (ee)?

[slow gyro]

How’s that a shoe?

[acoustic saddle]

in the video is a skating shoe i guess

might be diff reference

[slow gyro]

Oh yea, you’re right

Just looked it up

[plucky arch]

its a rollerskate, a shoe with wheels, not a skateboard, smhsmh

[slow gyro]

It works anyways

[acoustic saddle]

that 1 mean katten doesnt like ur sprite

so no extra point

[plush vale]

figure dthe choice was cause it made less sense without context, like whyd they end up with a rollerskate

[acoustic saddle]

bc it fit

so wooper sit

[steady pasture]

It's the opposite. Katten gave it a 5, someone else gave it a 1

[acoustic saddle]

so the 1 and 1.5 werent point multiplier!?

[steady pasture]

The mult was 2.5

[slow gyro]

The birthday girl loved my sprite but the staff hated it

[acoustic saddle]

🗿 so thats mean there is a jugde who only give 1 point all around and not take the contest seriously?

[steady pasture]

Also it's not technically a mult. It's a static score

The "weight" is just a static bonus score of 0-3

[plush vale]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-rika-wooper-clodsire-breakdancing-gif-14433222332004482476

[slow gyro]

I would never understand the staff
Said the staff member

[acoustic saddle]

you are banana. they r eggplant

[steady pasture]

Or maybe the judge had other issues with the sprite, like maybe they couldn't identity the fusion, or didn't think joke alts suited the contest, etc, etc

[acoustic saddle]

it mean they give half point. i dont know what really the meaning around it tbh

[steady pasture]

???

[acoustic saddle]

and lower than 2 should give comment why it would be that low score tbh

[steady pasture]

They might have their reasons

[acoustic saddle]

🗿 well it quite unfair just give low score without any explaination tbh

[steady pasture]

Meh, who are we to judge

[acoustic saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-mob-riot-torches-pitchforks-gif-5859895

[plush vale]

theres potentially an issue with time involved in giving feedback to every single one of the entries that ddoes poorly, it's been discussed befoer I believe

[acoustic saddle]

its French time

[plush vale]

points at french word for potato

[steady pasture]

Mine was perfectly average with average of 3s, got no comment though

[plucky arch]

ground apple ground apple ground apple

[acoustic saddle]

yeah, but then how can they improve, just give them low score without helpful comment just gonna drain their enthusistic

[plush vale]

well no that'd be grinded up, it's apple of the earth

[acoustic saddle]

apple is just sky potatoe

[plucky arch]

i will say

in advance

if you got a comment in the sharpedo contest

it was prolly me

[plush vale]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokemon-advanced-title-card-theme-song-logo-gif-24636047

[plucky arch]

i gave comments to about 9/10 of the entries

[plush vale]

simon jumped the shark

[plucky arch]

i spent 2 hours judging

[dense jackal]

This encourages scoring sprites higher than you want to, in order to save the time on leaving a comment

[plucky arch]

comments are completely optional

otherwise wed have 16 comments for every sprite

[plush vale]

or making people unable to commit to judging, or making mini contests unsustainable to begin wiht

[plush vale]

shoulda used ability patch so it got faster as it went

[acoustic saddle]

well i guess if every one get higher score, no one will complain, the top would still be top, but the average point would be higher

prefectly balanced as all thing should be

[plush vale]

and judging would be lower quality, and stuff dragged down by having mixed opinions wouldnt face that as it should

[acoustic saddle]

well it depend on many side, not every one gonna be pleased i guess

[plush vale]

it's basically reducing scoring range and then issue repeats

[limpid sphinx]

its not like all the ppl should coment, just one can help

[steady pasture]

U never gave comments to 1/10 of them? Smh

[limpid sphinx]

or i need to remember that is staff judge and we have a competent staff(ig)

idk

[acoustic saddle]

i only ask for comment for low score tbh, bc people want to see

what they done wrong more

[limpid sphinx]

||since what i discover today maybe not ||

[acoustic saddle]

rather than just wondering what they did wrong

[plucky arch]

a lot of me not giving comments was me not wanting to write "it has pillow shading / bad outlines / weird jank" for the nteenth time

[acoustic saddle]

:,v copy paste?

[plucky arch]

they can look at the other comments

[limpid sphinx]

you should that this with some podium ones /

[dense jackal]

just put "#spriting-guidelines" in every feedback box for a sprite that scores less than 2 on average. Easy fix 😛

[limpid sphinx]

sometimes can score 5 and need to read guidelines a bit

[plush vale]

write an entire essay rant on your most hated sprite and why

[dense jackal]

That sounds like a targetted comment would do the trick then 😛

[limpid sphinx]

maybe yes

maybe not

i mean

did the judges ever take a little zoom on the sprites this time? lol

[dense jackal]

If you want feedback that badly i can give a quick one before heading to bed.
Your wings didn't need an AA colour between the yellow and the green. The colours already blend well enough and they look cleaner without the gold in between 👍

[plush vale]

left one look blurrier there

[vestal token]

Flygons sprite has those AA pixels tho. Same reason I had them on mine as well

[hushed shoal]

bruh 16th/40 in the birthday contest

my wood texturing was apperently not correct (and was too busy)

and to rub salt in the wound the other trevenant/flygon got on the podium

[sick herald]

rip

[hushed shoal]

(totally not praying for the next contest to be announced soon so i can make a better wood texture)

[misty acorn]

stuff like that doesnt look good with all colors, so just doing it like the original does isn't always the best option

[acoustic saddle]

i mean when the original is wrong, its hard to follow a reliable guildline

[misty acorn]

never follow gen 5 pawniard shading

[acoustic saddle]

tbh the anti aliasing should be the mix between the yellow and the green

rather than deep yellow

[misty acorn]

yea

[limpid sphinx]

never follow spriting guidelines

[hazy tapir]

Yoo I actually did decent in a contest for once!
21st on Blaquaza's one! I'll take it!

[cloud solstice]

tbf that's bc the og has opposites colors, so the difference if more abrupt, the AA help make the colors merge, and the orange you used wasn't a correct middle color for the AA, it' should be a color between the yellow and green

[cyan gull]

I placed in the top 50% in my first tourney

so

[vestal token]

that ones not mine , I did have flygon as the head/colors for mine so I stuck with it's AA pixels on the wings. Figured it might be the same thought process that I had.

I get what ur saying though

[cloud solstice]

my bad

[dense jackal]

I just looked at your only flygon sprite (giratina body) and it doesn't have, and never has had, AA on the wings 😆

[limpid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/blind-gif-18652496

[vestal token]

am I insane

swear I remember doing it

It's on one wing ;-;

thats what I get for doing a sprite while sleep deprived

[dense jackal]

Can you send a version with an arrow or something, I still don't see it 😅

[vestal token]

I didnt do it how it is on the sceptile/flygon so I could be entirely misunderstanding all of this

[void sluice]

sir, did you take yer pills?

[vestal token]

no

[void sluice]

is a must

[vestal token]

you cant make me

[void sluice]

Obama is coming to take you on a ride sir, he isn't coming if you don't tak'em

[dense jackal]

So you've got AA between the red and its line art, it's true. But that's not the same as between the red and the inner wing colour, which was the problem with sceptile/flygon.
I will admit, I accidentally filled in the AA for the line art when I should have left it, so I can see why I confused you

[vestal token]

ahh okay
thanks for pointing that out though. I thought I did all of them lol
probably lost me points

[thin dove]

hi there!

[dense jackal]

It probably would have made some lines smoother, but it's not the end of the world. The lack of it stands out far less in this sprite than having the wrong AA does

[thin dove]

i wish i had time to make the carvanha or sharpedo for the contest but i had other things i had to do. ah, such is life

[limpid sphinx]

its already posted so well irdc anymore

[dense jackal]

The way you complained about the scoring for so long made it feel like you cared, just a little. That's my mistake 🙂

[plucky crest]

Reminds me of when the pokemon tcg account made this joke with wo-chien

[limpid sphinx]

[limpid sphinx]

i cared, 7h before you gave me feedback lol

[plucky crest]

Wait I need to find that image

[limpid sphinx]

live wo-chien reaction

[plucky crest]

Yeah but the official version with the card

Cos I swear that happened

[stiff valley]

Imagine I want to make an announcement but i'm waiting for other event managers to approve it and no one did since 4 hours now

[dense jackal]

Aye that's fair, this information clearly can't help with future sprites. I'll make sure to check your "fucks given" schedule before engaging out of your office hours in the future

[limpid sphinx]

well

i send the message here

no one cared

i posted

[plucky crest]

I cant find it but I swear to you it happened

I'm not crazy I swear

[limpid sphinx]

im not arguing with u

i like your sprites and i appreciated you trying to help

but just let that sprite die like that on gallery

since staff told "its neutral" so dont need to be good

let it like that

sorry for looks rude and tysm again for tried to help me

[plucky crest]

I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY

[void sluice]

• a Crazy woman

[sinful pendant]

You can always approve yourself

[plucky crest]

IT DOES EXIST

[sinful pendant]

CRAZY?! I was crazy once

[void sluice]

NO-

[plucky crest]

This image was made by the official pokemon tcg account

[void sluice]

no way

[plucky crest]

So yeah pokemon company cares about like wo chien reaction

*live

[void sluice]

we need it as a sprite for Live Wo Chien Reaction

[dense jackal]

Yeah sorry about that. For some reason I started engaging in bad faith, when I should've just let it be. And I didn't want you to take your sprite down from the gallery just for this. It's still a very cool looking sprite ^^

[limpid sphinx]

dw ><

[indigo ice]

DO worry. NOW.

[acoustic saddle]

:0 dw?

[steel vortex]

'Don't worry'

[limpid sphinx]

do work

[steel vortex]

o h

[limpid sphinx]

lmao

[acoustic saddle]

DUM WHO @void sluice

[void sluice]

i'll arrow your head

[limpid sphinx]

who is who

[acoustic saddle]

:,v hows ur sprite application?

[void sluice]

what sprite application?

[nimble robin]

Do a Skuntank contest!

[acoustic saddle]

stinky type

[vestal token]

skitty time

I need another cat pokemon

[mild crescent]

You'll take your bruxish and you'll like it

[arctic trench]

[trim briar]

are the special contest polls not working?

[plucky arch]

currently one of the pfp options has more votes then the other two combined

so uh, we might call it early

[mild crescent]

Fair enough

Looks like one or more of them has equal votes. Are tie breakers left to mods?

[open hatch]

these exact two are showing as reactionless for me too, even after refreshing the client multiple times + checking from a different device

[worthy shuttle]

no

[acoustic saddle]

:^) guess the duck wont like this

[vestal silo]

Whoa the one with sparkles won, who would have guessed (it is a nice sprite tho)

[mild crescent]

Understandable. I wouldn't want one in my team either

[worthy shuttle]

Bruxish just looks kinda ugly to me

[plucky arch]

i was rooting for the meowth!

[worthy shuttle]

It’s the lips man

[mild crescent]

The lips the teeth and the nasty pastel explosion

[acoustic saddle]

sfx less aint gonna cut it vs the crowd

[mild crescent]

Can't wait for people to fuse it with muk to make the sun/moon form

[acoustic saddle]

but what about the shark contest? woul this be the shortest profile ver?

[tepid gyro]

bruxish is my least favourite pokemon

not only is it really ugly but the colours clash too much for me

its shiny is even worse

[molten crater]

mine is garbodor, but I guess complaining now won't change anything...

[misty acorn]

goomy...

[tepid gyro]

garbodor adds something new for spriting possibilities at least with the trash

just like trevenant added the wood texture

new things we can do with sprites

bruxish is just the colour scheme really

[molten crater]

we already had enough trash sprites without it

[tepid gyro]

lmao

[subtle moss]

hm ,that is an angle to take, to make intentionally bad sprites for Trubbish or Garbodor fusions

[mild crescent]

Put goomy in the trubbish bag and leave it there

[dense jackal]

This makes as much sense as adding space FX for jirachi/clefairy

[plush vale]

so you're saying it'd do well in contests 😛

[cedar quest]

I was with you at first on Bruxish when votes first started. But the mon has such a strong focus on it's pallete & lips, that it's surpisingly fun to create fusions with

[crude cedar]

@cedar quest 2 of them don't have Votes or Abilities to Vote. Is that a Bug in the System, or do I need to Refresh Discord or something?

[cedar quest]

I addressed this yesterday, it's client side

[cedar quest]

^

As long as you react 🇦 or 🇧 on it, it will still take it if you are having that issue. ((Which you would do by doing manually))

[crude cedar]

Nope. Can't manually react to them.

I just tried that

[limpid sphinx]

im gonna kidding myself

[acoustic saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/kill-the-ducks-the-thick-duck-cooking-slicing-gif-15815988

[limpid sphinx]

yes

[plush vale]

don't joke about that

[limpid sphinx]

oh sorry sir

👍

sorry for be rude

[acoustic saddle]

gonna hold my breath for 5 mins

[limpid sphinx]

NOOOO

There are people who cannot breathe properly, dont joke about that

[acoustic saddle]

i guess there are people who can't make jokes (me) 🤥

[limpid sphinx]

truth

you can

sorry

lol

ok so, sharpedo results when?

[crude cedar]

Or better yet... Who's coming Today?

[limpid sphinx]

its a good question

but im not gonna participate on the next contest so im more excited for sharpedo results ><

[crude cedar]

So from Math Alone, there are 7 Dex Numbers in between Trevenant and Goomy

We know that there will be at least 7 Slots used up. The question is what they'll be used on

[cyan gull]

Regiguys + Victini and Melloeta

[crude cedar]

Those would be after a Pseudo if that were the case

[plush vale]

I thoguh we skipped 4 slots?

[devout hare]

440, 441, 442 and 443, yeah

[plush vale]

wheredja get 7

[devout hare]

Of the community choices 13 of the 20 slots are filled, so probably from that

they just aren't all between trevenant and goomy

[plush vale]

12

see pin

wait

pin in new

[devout hare]

oh, I thought sableye was a communtity pick too

[plush vale]

did he just assume goodra was last without looking at numbers we were given for em?

[limpid sphinx]

never please

[slow gyro]

New Mon (Torkoal) when?

[cyan gull]

torkoal would be awesome

I vibe with that

[limpid sphinx]

never probably

[plush vale]

not never but prob not soon

[limpid sphinx]

yeah ofc cuz when saying never im saying that serious

sorry again mister drag

[plush vale]

not everybody assumes we get more mons eventually

[hollow grove]

Aromatisse plz i need my lil fat bih

The heck is a spritober?

[stiff valley]

Ever heard about Mergemay ?

[steady pasture]

Oh

The waste of time

[mild crescent]

Never heard of it

[grim ether]

huh whuh

[crystal hill]

wait I didn't join mergemay, how exactly does this work?

[grim ether]

MERGEMAY TWO

GOOD LORD

[limpid sphinx]

nah

probably better with halloween prompts

[proven canyon]

inktober basically

[crystal hill]

oh

[grim ether]

sigh. ok

[limpid sphinx]

basically merge pokemons in the may

:^)

[crystal hill]

probably won't join already doing a different inktober thing

[proven canyon]

i didn’t keep up with mergemay but maybe I can do spritober….

[crystal hill]

I did submit a prompt tho, would be cool if it gets in

[sinful pendant]

Why are all the month-long art challenges in October

[limpid sphinx]

mergemay is special yeah

[sinful pendant]

Yea, I wish I joined in May. Now I have to decide to do inktober or spriteober, wont have time for both 😦

[limpid sphinx]

choose the one with the better prompts

btw i just put a prompt on the folder, make good use mael

[sinful pendant]

I mean inktober's prompts are kinda meh, but its a good chance to keep my drawing skills intact

[mild crescent]

Inktober has been lame since the start on devianart

Hate to be that way but it's true

But maybe there'll be some real good stuff out of this so I shouldn't complain

[limpid sphinx]

ok but

new pokemon when

[plush vale]

kiwis sick could be delayed

[mild crescent]

Kiwi doesn't back up posts between moderators?

Well I hope kiwi gets better soon

[molten crater]

wait, was mergemay hosted by this server? Like, I was here the whole time thinking "meh, people are adhering to some random event from somewhere else"

[crude cedar]

Yep

[molten crater]

the hell I didn't read about it anywhere

[limber venture]

#1110689277861441637

and the now deprecated sprite charts thread

[void sluice]

but there is one for almost every month-

[limpid sphinx]

yes

[limpid sphinx]

it was pretty big on the firsts weeks tbh

[dense jackal]

Sketchtember, Inktober, Huevember, Funguary, Mermay.
That's all the ones I can think of 😛

[crude cedar]

Don't forget about Artfight

[dense jackal]

True, but I don't know which month that is 😛

[crude cedar]

July

It's an Online Website and Art Event that takes place throughout all of July

[rough talon]

Smaugust

[plucky arch]

Mermay, Inktober, Heuvember, and Smaugust are the most popular i think

[dense jackal]

I would've placed Sketchtember above Huevember. Just because I though a lot of people did it to prep Inktober. But I never actually participate so I don't see the relative outputs 😛

[sturdy mulch]

when does the submission end?

[heady moat]

Kaijune is also pretty popular from what I've seen

[crude cedar]

Finally I found a chat where someone can tell me who are those prompts!

[limpid sphinx]

me

[crude cedar]

Who are you?

[sturdy mulch]

a cooking duck

[plucky crest]

I'm the cigar

im just the random guy in the background watching

[thick jolt]

@stiff valley do you have the list of rejected mergemay prompts?

[stiff valley]

No

[cyan gull]

will that seminar fix my horse?

[sly gorge]

it's a good thing I don't do horses

[cloud solstice]

awww yisss horses

probably still usefull

[cedar quest]

There's ur announcement for the day

[plush vale]

hope kiwi feels better

[cloud solstice]

kiwi is sick?

hope she get better

[primal iron]

can't fix perfection

[cyan gull]

🫶

[tawdry oak]

Team ponyta and Rapidash?

[primal iron]

hell yeh

[tawdry oak]

It would be cool if Blitzle line or Mudbray line got added

[primal iron]

Maybe one day we'll have the other horses in IF too 🙏

yeaaah

for now I shall make due with Girafarig

[tawdry oak]

Girafarig 🤔

[cedar quest]

psst, #announcements

[primal iron]

giraffes are basically long horses, close enough

[tawdry oak]

I think region evos should be added

Like Farigiraf

And the new primeape

Basculin and Basculegion would be fun

[dense jackal]

Wyrdeer ❤️

[tawdry oak]

Wyrdeer

Ursaluna

Ursaluna would be great

[dull girder]

Oh no the wyrdeer it's broken

[crude cedar]

People help!

What are those prompts?

[dense jackal]

It's a monthly art challenge. If you've ever seen challenges like Inktober, it's basically that. They're organising a set of prompts that people can use to theme their fusions each day, and using the community to source the ideas for it 🙂

[crude cedar]

Thanks!

[dull girder]

Pumpkin?

[lusty crystal]

Sandcastleghodtguythingy

[primal iron]

Kiwi's having way too much fun with this reveal lmao

[torpid osprey]

I'm sitting here for like 30min, waiting for the reveal so i can go to sleep but no....

How many more of these slides are gonna be pulled up first

[plush vale]

just sleep now, come back in mornin

[torpid osprey]

Bold of you to think I have a consistent sleep schedule. I'll be tired and half dead either way

[silk fable]

I've been working all day and i come here to find my sprite as the pfp thank you

[dense jackal]

Kiwi having exactly the right amount of fun 😄

[heady moat]

Agreed, I think it's kinda fun lol

[verbal lance]

https://tenor.com/view/altaria-pokemon-swablu-dragon-dance-dragon-gif-23805622

ALTARIA!!!

[heady moat]

Hell yeah! It makes me sad I won't have time to sprite until Monday

[plucky arch]

NOT ANOTHER FUCKING DRAGON

CMON

UHG

THIS WILL PROLLY HAVE A CONTEST BUT I WILL NOT BE HAPPY ABOUT IT

[limpid sphinx]

another dragon goddamn

[plucky arch]

this is our,,, 6th dragon reveal

[misty acorn]

nononono, don't focus your anger on the wrong target. altaria only takes 2 spots and comes with insane spriting potential

the one who deserves the hate is goodra

[plucky arch]

uhg i guess

[misty acorn]

never forget

[plucky arch]

i was so excited for sandygast

[plush vale]

isn't it our 7th dragon slot not 6th?

cause goodra eats 3?

[broken robin]

the sandygast fakeout was hilarious to be fair

[sick herald]

another dragon lets go?

[misty acorn]

he still coming... in a few days when people find the firework emoji on the 4th oldes announcement post 💀

[mild crescent]

Mandibuzz head pops out of the sand

[icy jasper]

When is the contest going to be revealed just out of curiosity?

[dawn prairie]

6 fucking dragon types

"Holy shit" - fighting types, probably

we are here for swablu tho 🫡

[plush vale]

again 7

[mild crescent]

Probably after we get 1000 reacts or when we only get to 500 and everyone gets tired of this

[plucky arch]

i will procrastinate as much as i can until they yell at me

[mild crescent]

lol

[misty acorn]

I imagine that the contest will be for sandyghast since altaria is technically the bonus reveal this time, like goomy last time

[sturdy mulch]

my day is ruined

[slow gyro]

@stiff valley you publicly humiliated me for doing two submissions and now you’re saying we can do unlimited submissions

[thick jolt]

sandyghast should get revealed surely

[sturdy mulch]

how do I view this thread? I don't even know what's in the previous mergemay

[plucky arch]

go react #announcements

[slow gyro]

Lmao the end of the comic will be Torkoal

[late musk]

guys
i'm trying to post my drawing but i am not being able to redirect to any thread

[mild crescent]

Art channel is good for it

[dense jackal]

A lava turtle underwater would cause bubbles on the surface...

[verbal lance]

I'm so happy we got altaria, I was so sure it wouldn't be added sorry for those who wanted sandygast, hopefully it'll still be added later.

Anyways altaria contest when?

[heady moat]

Altaria was in my top ten, so I'm very very happy about this

[verbal lance]

I only had like 2 on my list 1-altaria 2-yveltal
(And honestly yveltal just there cus it's my besties fav)

[plush vale]

I want yveltal

[sick herald]

i can already picture the 1 billion altaria/jumpluff,whimsicotts,oricorio pom poms

[mellow geyser]

yveltal/altaria would be the fluffiest edge bird

[cyan gull]

New Mon and no event

Crazy

I can already see all the dithering mons being fused with Altaria

[torn moat]

I might be working on mareep/swablu rn...

[thick jolt]

ah it was deleted due to it being in the old pif projects, #1110689277861441637 exisrs but its closed right now

[steady pasture]

I still can't do dithering

[mild crescent]

I haven't lived in EU for a sweet minute remind me what dithering means

[steady pasture]

The checkered pattern when shading used to convey a rough/inconsistent texture

[mild crescent]

Hmmm

[steady pasture]

?tag dithering

[urban knot]

Dithering is a technique where two colours are drawn in a checkerboard pattern to blend from one shade to another. Most often, it is used in Pokémon sprites in order to show that a texture isn't entirely smooth; fur, feathers, fire and smoke are some of the main environments where it is used. As it is quite an eye-catching technique, it should often be used sparingly, as this helps give a sprite texture without making that area stand out.

Historically, dithering used to help create the illusion of smoother gradients or extra shades when sprites were viewed on small screens. Some Gen 3-4 sprites use dithering for that purpose. When sprites are scaled up, however, the dithering stands out and doesn't work for this purpose, so it should be avoided on IF sprites. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/700790080175996938/910797246658904104/dithering.png?width=901&height=676

[mild crescent]

Gotcha. I swear it was used in EN a lot to talk about wasting time which seemed weird in context

[heady escarp]

Horses?

[steady pasture]

A certain staff hates dithering though

[primal iron]

Yes?

[dense jackal]

No that's right. If someone isn't properly starting a task, like they aren't coming with you to the shop fast enough because they keep getting distracted "Stop dithering." is 100% a thing you would hear

[heady escarp]

I AM looking at the the horses anouncement and i wonder... what?

[mild crescent]

I KNEW it

[primal iron]

shrug no specific reason, it's just a subject i'm comfortable teaching

[heady escarp]

controls the urge to utter the c Word

[cyan gull]

any of you use aseprite? is it worth it?

[dense jackal]

100000% 😆

[graceful plank]

yes

[torn dawn]

Sometimes I wonder - when the A and B - reactions are flipped on a LC poll if people realize it or accidentally vote for the wrong one

[mild crescent]

I did and it happened twice I think

[sturdy mulch]

ty

[silk plank]

probably the best pixelart purchase of my life

(tbf outside of my tablet which i dont even use that much for pixelart i haven't made any other purchases LOL)

[dense jackal]

I'm always one hand tablet, one hand keyboard when i use aseprite

[sick herald]

i use a trackpad

[dense jackal]

I'm so sorry to hear that

[cyan gull]

I'm learning aseprite

[heady escarp]

Might as well

[rotund gate]

same. I lost my mouse

[west canopy]

🐭 found it

[thick harness]

I can confirm that last time; I accidentally voted for the wrong sprite a couple of times because the letters were flipped - and I only realised once voting was finished because I was like "Why did that one get so little votes?"

This most recent round I tried to make sure that didn't happen though

[cloud solstice]

Maybe using 🇦🅱️ would help solve that?

[steady pasture]

Ppl can't read after all

[cerulean prawn]

Assprite is fantastic - only program that got me to actually stop using ms paint

[acoustic rampart]

Dont call it assprite D:

[cerulean prawn]

I just woke up skfbsmfb

Can I blame autocorrect? I wanna blame autocorrect

[cloud solstice]

it read like you're roasting the program

[acoustic rampart]

based autocorrect tbh

[polar vapor]

I made this a suggestion that got accepted, but then it only lasted a few polls before going away again

[torn dawn]

Ouch then

[stiff valley]

We dont choose the reactions lol

[steady pasture]

Ppl hosting poll is biased, swapped order of reactions to rigg the vote

[supple mulch]

Hi, I've submitted Magikarp/Sharpedo for the mini-contest but I've just did a little change (outline fix color). Re-posting the sprite in the gallery does affect in any way the contest?
Obv I don't want to change my submission, I just want to know if I'm allowed to re-post the sprite in the gallery.

[primal iron]

No, the discord gallery is just for the game, it's too late to update your contest entry

[misty acorn]

which mini-contest?

[primal iron]

But yes do repost in the gallery

[misty acorn]

if you mean the sharpedo contest, yeah reposting to the gallery doesnt affect your entry you submitted to the drive

[subtle moss]

let's hope they actually did submit to the drive

[fossil lava]

So... new mini-contest for the new mons? Or are we skipping it this time?

[cloud solstice]

I wonder if the contest will be altaria, noivern or both lines

[fossil lava]

The fact that it hasn't been announced yet means that all the people riding the hi of the announcement and starting now won't be able to submit their first creations according to the rules.

[plucky arch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/306947542698950657/1155516847626670141/image.png

guys im so based

[misty acorn]

[misty acorn]

if only there was the option to start working on your sprite and just not posting it here until the contest is announced

[slow gyro]

Pokemon Infinite Fusion? More like Pokémon Infinite dragons
Am I right?

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/kekwtf-gif-18599263

[limpid sphinx]

you can fuse dragons at least

Infinite Dragons Fusion

[sturdy mulch]

My week is ruined

[heady moat]

Dang, I really thought Golisopod was gonna be a lock for this, but I am no longer confident it's getting in

@plucky arch I'm guessing the birthday contest winners don't get to add their picks to the raffle, right?

[plucky arch]

they do not no, twas a separate event

[verbal lance]

Tee im so sorry

[heady moat]

Yeah, figured as such! Makes sense. Just gotta do my best in the next few contests

[verbal lance]

its another dragon

[misty acorn]

Komoo-o next week?

(at least that would also be a fighting type )

[plucky arch]

its fine, my foresight is so good

[hollow grove]

Aromatisse next week FOR SURE

x2 redux

[misty acorn]

If your foresight is so good, give us next weeks mons!

[thick harness]

We do have four slots left; why not make it Druddigon + Kommo-o! We really don't have enough Dragon types after all

[misty acorn]

But then there wouldnt be space for zygarde!

[heady moat]

The last four are clearly Panpour, Simipour, Pansage, and Patrat

[plucky arch]

Necrozma

[misty acorn]

and nihilego? 👉 👈

[plucky arch]

Necrozma

[balmy mango]

anything but these pokemon

[cerulean prawn]

why is it the worst contest these mons are great ;_;

[hollow grove]

RUDE I already made both Altaria and Goomy lines so i cant use any for contest

despair

[primal iron]

here it is lol

[eager raven]

Puts on my cool guy glasses as I open my art program again

[crude cedar]

So much about we wont get a Goodra contest

[lusty crystal]

Who wants some inflatable boomboxes?

[hollow grove]

now my noivern has to pop off fml

[worthy shuttle]

Woa

[plucky arch]

the frog said we gotta 😔

[sinful pendant]

Simon Cowel in shambles having to acknowledge Goomy

[midnight ice]

Altaria my beloved piece of floof

I already have an idea

[tawdry grove]

i have a GENIUS idea on this one

[thick harness]

All Goomy fusions will recieve an automatic 0 from Tee during voting

[plucky arch]

i will not be voting this time

i will participate

[limber holly]

half of the 16 slots for new pokemon so far are dragon types

[plucky arch]

in hopes to get my boy pangoro in there

[misty acorn]

💀

[thick harness]

Based Pangoro's one of my picks too

[misty acorn]

this is what happens when you let the randos vote

💀

only 8 were Dragon type

((Swablu isn't dragon ))

[misty acorn]

is swablu our first normal type?

[molten crater]

but @plucky arch , swablu is not a dragon!

[misty acorn]

time to put it onto modern gios team 🏃‍♂️

[molten crater]

ah, I should have read above

[plucky arch]

fixed

[slow gyro]

Okay so what if I do triple dragon fusion for the contest?

[misty acorn]

why stop at three?

[sturdy mulch]

last dragon confirmed?

[molten crater]

No, I mean, if it's a dragon contest...

[plucky arch]

alright guys we gotta get druddigon in, so we have EVERY dragon type from the first 5 generations

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/halfway-there-bon-jovi-living-on-a-prayer-band-concert-gif-15226260

[slow gyro]

Let’s get drampa

[limber venture]

they should add more dragon types to infinite fusion i dont think we have enough actually

[molten crater]

I loved Druddigon when I played Black for the 1st time, ngl

[limber venture]

he has a sick design

i think he would make some cool head fusions

[worthy shuttle]

I kinda hope druddigon gets an evolution in the future

[misty acorn]

guys lets all make this our pfp

[worthy shuttle]

Cat better

[balmy mango]

spheal the best

[worthy shuttle]

Wrong

[balmy mango]

right

[sturdy mulch]

can't wait for legend of kyreum to be released!

[worthy shuttle]

Mudkip is the superior water baby

[steady pasture]

@plucky arch I mean i already predicted this would happen, but i figured i might as well ask, Goodra fusions made after the reveal but before the contest cannot participate?

[balmy mango]

spheal is an ice and water baby

[plucky arch]

yes

[misty acorn]

the one time the rule actually makes sense

[plucky arch]

they are not allowed in,

[steady pasture]

Well i kinda anticipated it, but still disappointed anyways

[worthy shuttle]

Or they make gen 5 remakes and do gen 5 dirty by letting ILCA make them

[balmy mango]

spheal>mudkip

[steady pasture]

Time to make another lewd Goodra/Lopunny to submit

[worthy shuttle]

Spheal is precit

[worthy shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/mudkip-gif-25557419

[sturdy mulch]

hopefully not, I hope they don't fuck my fav gen this time

[balmy mango]

[plucky arch]

in fact its super big this time around

[arctic garnet]

So many more Espeons to make which do I submit?!

[misty acorn]

We least go so hard with it that goomy has to be cancelled out of IF

[balmy mango]

aaaawww

[acoustic rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-spheal-imma-head-out-peace-out-roll-gif-23635077

Someone should make a really thick goodra/snorlax cuz it would be funny

[steady pasture]

I think it's already done by Ribbon before she left

[worthy shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-mudkip-anime-cute-gif-17959864

Oh

[steady pasture]

Oh nvm, it was Goodra Slaking

[versed ridge]

Are we allowed to submit sprites that we already posted in the gallery

[worthy shuttle]

Shiny

[balmy mango]

spheal with a knife its a spheal with a knife

[primal iron]

no, the rule is pretty clear that it must have been made after the contest was announced

[balmy mango]

it will kill the mudkip

[steady pasture]

Sadly i'm out of gas for doing high effort fusions... I'll probably submit some low effort ones for the contest

[versed ridge]

Noivern and what fighting type would be a good fusion

[plush vale]

Blaziken

[mild crescent]

Probably Mankey for a wizard of Oz meme

[stiff valley]

[vestal token]

[plush vale]

Inb4 we get zygarde too

[glad sail]

Not before Xerneas and Yveltal

[mild crescent]

Not before every other dragon first lmao

[misty acorn]

[glad sail]

But I literally never cared about any Mon getting added as much as Noivern
Might skip out on the next 12 contests just to fill the dex with em

[mild crescent]

All 300 of them

[vestal token]

dragons are cool ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've got an idea for all 3 so i'm excited

LFGGGGGGGGGG

.... wait how many slots do we have left

[mild crescent]

4?

I'm honestly rooting for minior, Claydol, or cacturne as options

[plush vale]

4- (1 to 4) based on leaks and playtest stuff

hrd to say if sandyghast is deconfirmed now

[mild crescent]

I bet the sandyghast leak was bait

[lunar comet]

lord help me i'm doing another genesect

[grim ether]

break is fucking over i need to get in on the contest

[vestal token]

[void sluice]

Dani are you sure you're ok-?

[grim ether]

yeah im back to normal already i just made my break extra long to work on a painting but im gonna need less time than i expected

[mild crescent]

Break time is very important

[void sluice]

good then

the important is you being healthy and ok

[languid ibex]

man... i wanna make altaria/feraligatr sprite but i feel sooo washed ugh

[mild crescent]

Take time to r e s t

[plush vale]

prob best to wait

[void sluice]

take your time to rest

don't rush

[languid ibex]

I've already made a concept art but im not happy with it

3 non-spriters told ya to take a time, so better listen

I have to change the position of the head

[grim ether]

if i use this base do you think the mods] will tell me that its too big

(hint: its the main base in the daena site lol)

[steady pasture]

Yes

but what are they gonna do about it?

cry? (deduct your points for the contest if u actually care about scores)

[grim ether]

ah well

ill use the smaller base thats literally identical

this one by gordogamr

[vestal token]

It amazes me how quickly people can do full concept drawings

[zenith jackal]

what is the curent even with the new pokemon

how to enter

what pokemon do i have to use

[lunar comet]

speaking of sizes, how's the size looking on this boy? no actual spriting done yet, this is just the horrible mishmash of reference images i'm using (smogon sprite underneath)

first pic is normal, second is as stretched out vertically as i feel comfortable going without breaking proportions too badly

[lunar comet]

#event-announcements message

[vestal token]

Idk how they judge size tbh
seems good to me tho

[grim ether]

anyways AUGH SO CLOSE

misses obama its been an honor

[lunar comet]

oof

[mild crescent]

How many votes are actually there because it doesn't show a lot of them for some reason

Like mine ffs

Ree

[lunar comet]

it says the total number right under the words final result lol

[slow gyro]

Yea Noivern has gigantic wings and it’s hard to make it fit

[lunar comet]

i stg this fucker is more wing than actual body

[slow gyro]

Yea

[grim ether]

i thought it didnt let non spriters vote

[mild crescent]

My vote should count for the main ones lol lmao /joke

[slow gyro]

I made a base in a dynamic pose to make it fit better, and it’s 89 pixels wide

[lunar comet]

oof

[slow gyro]

#1155547216564465735
Still a WIP tho

[mild crescent]

Main sprite voter but I GUESS that got changed recently

[lunar comet]

yeah that's why this is a photoshop hodgepodge and not an actual sprite lol, trying to get size nailed down first

[void sluice]

you're a hero. 🙏

[mild crescent]

The dynamic sprite will definitely make it more fun to fuse with

[slow gyro]

Im thinking on doing more bases, maybe one or two more, cause I found some cool poses

[lunar comet]

this looks fire but i want him to be standing, not flying, so i don't think i'll use this

[slow gyro]

#1136676184265076818 message

There are some

[slow gyro]

I have two dynamic standing poses if you’re interested

[lunar comet]

ye i'm looking in the thread now, unless there's some you haven't posted there?

[slow gyro]

Just those

And there are some cards down that message

But none is standing

[lunar comet]

ye that was the problem i was having from my quick google images search

had to make a horrible mishmash of three different pics #spriting-discussion message

torso is from an anime screenshot, wings are from a pic of the XY model i believe, and the legs are from global link

[slow gyro]

Uh, that pose looks super cool

[lunar comet]

trying to go for a standing and charging/firing the ear guns sort of pose

fuck it, if i lose points for size i'll make up for it with the points i gain for making my own base (i think. hopefully. probably. lol fuck idk now)

[vestal token]

Trying to make my own base as well. For some reason evil worm is a massive pain for me to pose (giratina)

[lunar comet]

just draw a slightly squiggly line, there's your center line right there

literally just a ~

[vestal token]

Thats what I did it's the rest of it thats the problem :p

[lunar comet]

[vestal token]

[crude cedar]

#1155587909957718126 I think I just made the Cutest Thing sit in a Recliner made of Cloud

[limpid sphinx]

🦈🏆❓

[cyan gull]

[magic sail]

@torn ocean dang you were really good for your sprite

but idk if youc an put references in contests,not sure

[torn dawn]

yass pls

[steel vortex]

Aaa I'm so stumped on any ideas for this contest, I wanna do something with different cloud types and aiming for 'beauty' this time (I did cute and cool last time lol)

[cyan gull]

I got got

[rapid knot]

Are you ever going to do 'Tough' or 'Clever'? :P

[cyan gull]

I made my Goodra day 1 😦

[rapid knot]

You could try a Ho-oh fusion?

Lenticular clouds

[cyan gull]

I have an idea for Noivern thouhgh

[rapid knot]

Not those

There's a different name

Cloud Iridescence

[torn dawn]

I really need to win one of these contests

so I can submit Skitty

because the one thing Pokemon Infinite Fusions really severely lacks is a pink cat Pokemon

[rapid knot]

Hoppip/Meowth?

Just hoppip

Hoppip is a cat

[torn dawn]

ohh maybe

I never thought of hoppip as a cat

but the more I look at it, true!

[rapid knot]

https://tenor.com/view/pokeani-wooper-pooper-wooper-p-paldean-wooper-gif-5326819627942885578

It even has a little cat tail in the back

[torn dawn]

I should do more Hoppip head sprites :3

[plush vale]

isnt that its foot

ah

[steel vortex]

I really would love a chance to use lenticular or cumulonimbus clouds, and Ho-oh would be perfect for that :O

Like wow, how does just some water, air and light do this

[rapid knot]

You could try this

[steel vortex]

Hoppip/Swablu

[steel vortex]

Oooo yeah!

[amber sluice]

I think those are also called fire rainbows, if that helps add inspiration at all

[rapid knot]

Definitely fits Ho-oh

[amber sluice]

I'm suffering from success trying to decide what to do, my dragon babies are all in and sharing a contest I can't hold all these options

[mild crescent]

Do all of them

[rapid knot]

Well, that is an option, as long as you choose the one that came out the best at the end

[plush vale]

use 2 of em

[torn dawn]

I am thinkin Hoppip/Noivern

epic and cute bat dragon cat

[steel vortex]

Awww!

Also sharing some cloud charts I have saved! And this vid on fun rarer cloud types https://youtu.be/ggDudUJxF70?si=R9p8KART9LJHwDoE I like his atmospheric/meterological vids!

Noctilucent 'clouds' are so cool
And I'll stop freaking about cloud stuff now lol

[amber sluice]

I appreciate your cloud info dump. I remember something called asperatus in regards to clouds, but I forget what it was so imma have to look it up

And I suppose I'll actually put work into the legendary bird altaria trios I was very excited about - different storm cloud dragon birds

[steel vortex]

That's gonna be awesome

[indigo ice]

Dragons please :)

good to know the fusion i was working on last night is not null ans void for this contest but I domt even know if ill do it as a contest entry

[vestal token]

Struggling

[mild crescent]

[torn moat]

I'm thinking of adding an electric sfx, but not quite sure how to go about it. any tips?

[subtle moss]

I mean

thunder cloud

*le shrug

Lightning effect are hard

also this is not the place for requesting tips.

Make a thread for it in Spritework
