[near river]

yeah, feedback is tricky

[sly gorge]

funny thing right, a "baby's first sprite" is more likely to win a contest than a Mammuth type of sprite

and I know who's fault this is lol

||||

[near river]

this one guy was trying to do a Drifloon/Misdreavus fusion, and all he did was recolor misdreavus from purple to purple and draw a really tiny drifloon attached to it and asked for feedback

people were rooooasting the poor dude, but like how do you even give feedback to that

[gentle junco]

Managing spriting team teaches me a lot about it. People are very different and you just need to take it and study how to handle it

and working with no-qa sprites

That's also silly that some info that useless for you is a completely new skill for someone

[rough frost]

demoted

[gentle junco]

Hi Red

[cursive brook]

Contests aren’t fair, deal with it lol

[rough frost]

howdy howdy

[sly gorge]

I learned that a long time ago

I'm still allowed to criticise that though

[dense jackal]

What are you talking about 😆
Every contest winner has been an absolute banger with custom posing and all that fancy stuff 😛

[gentle junco]

I saw few arts and thought it's true...

Can I say that current #1 and #2 have literally the same pose-

I didn't saw it until now

[cursive brook]

I just do stuff that think is cool

Fuck everyone else

[lusty pewter]

I question why the mods are ugly

[cursive brook]

[heady escarp]

what is th clown everyone obseses over?

[graceful plank]

art the clown?

[heady escarp]

this one of red and blue costume with yellow details

[graceful plank]

oh yeah they're called ponzi or something? I don't know the character

[plucky crest]

The one from amazing digital circus?

Pomni?

[cursive brook]

Pomni

[graceful plank]

I still haven't watched that yet

[cursive brook]

The show is very well made

You should

[plucky crest]

I mean its made by glitch productions so yea I trust it

Well they produce it at least

[crisp cargo]

you're thinking of bonzi. ponzi is a type of scheme

[cursive brook]

It’s only a pilot

[lusty pewter]

you said not to question them...
I question them

[plucky crest]

Pretty sure they mean pomni

[crisp cargo]

joke ruiner

[graceful plank]

I know what a ponzi scheme is lol but it was the closest thing I could think of

[plucky crest]

Bonzly

[dense jackal]

I watched it because I like Gooseworx's music and wanted to see what their show was like 😛

[graceful plank]

Bonsly?!

[plucky crest]

:3

[civic mauve]

Mine was a reference to a series I know nothing about, but it looked fun and I think I’ve figured out how to do the fusion in a way that’ll be neat ^^

[heady escarp]

shows with centaurs as main characters outside if of centaurworld?

[sly goblet]

fuck you (joke mods please dont eviscerate me)

[steel vortex]

They liked my little guy
Would have 100% made a custom pose if I had time

And my rock witch's glam
Too big though smh

[daring barn]

I forgot what request I did in the secret spriter

[open folio]

They thought my fusion was awkward

[limpid sphinx]

como 😂

[limpid sphinx]

😭

[daring barn]

I'm forgetfull

[wind matrix]

🤣

[river swift]

Pretty sure the person whose request I got is a psychopath

Hooray

[cursive brook]

[open folio]

I liked the idea of combining the male and female heracross horns together to make a guitar and use the Mega hand as an amp, but maybe it didn’t read super well

[crisp cargo]

"the fusion is pretty awkward" is such an awkward comment like, what's that supposed to mean

unclear? hard to read?

[tulip tusk]

it might be just that the blue blends together and the face looks a bit weird to me? idk

[cursive brook]

They just said to me that mine was rough and had wrong colors. They had to comment on over 200 sprites i think that is fine

[tulip tusk]

it's a sick as hell fusion though

[cursive brook]

[open folio]

Yeah, maybe. There’s just not many colours to work with on Heracross though

[tulip tusk]

yeah, normally I just add a whole other color on sprites I feel need them sobs

[crisp cargo]

tbh my issue is the same as the one I have with a lot of fusions in this contest - this feels like a cosplay and not a fusion

[cursive brook]

I see what they mean the fusion just feels awkward it’s trying to be punk but has those really bright colors with the fin and just feels undercooked. It is well made and I can see the effort though.

It feels so close to great but not quite there

[open folio]

Yeah, since I went with the normal Hera horns for the guitar I used the mega one for the head (and also so it was different colouration). Maybe that was the mistake

[sly shuttle]

I was definitely not as merciful with my request as a lot of people seem to have been

[cursive brook]

Same

I got a way easier request than what I requested

[river swift]

Womp womp

[cursive brook]

Also what do the collums mean?

They say “I always forget to label these smh”

💀

[crisp cargo]

I will say it really feels like some folks just do not know pokemon, like

I could instantly tell a fusion was meant to be registeel and someone was confused between it and magnezone somehow?????

[cursive brook]

People forgot ledian existed when I showed them

[dense jackal]

That's anonymising who cast what vote (but they initially released the sheet without that)

[crisp cargo]

i can understand a confusion between both meloetta forms because those forms are pretty similar

[sinful pendant]

Next contest, judges should be required to post their fusion guessing scores
https://infinitedummies.fr/pages/en/guessing_game.html

[cursive brook]

Can’t wait for the misnumberings

[crisp cargo]

or like, between both mons of the yamask line

[open folio]

The judges are supposed to be anonymous, but each column is a separate judge’s votes. Sometimes they forget to anonymise the column names before putting the sheet out

[crisp cargo]

?????

[cursive brook]

I did not know what that meant in the first place thanks

I thought they were supposed to be like: coloring

[plucky crest]

THE FUCK

Nahhh

Thats less colours than the original fucking character

[crisp cargo]

that comment's just confusing to me

[cursive brook]

That is more of a compliment because that means they used a limited pallete very well

[crisp cargo]

1 similarity is annoying but i think that's an actual problem with the mr. mime colours so

[plucky crest]

Iirc she has 5 base colours (red, blue, white, brown, yellow)

That shit has 3.5 (red, blue, white and the pink which uses some colours from the red)

[cursive brook]

[limpid sphinx]

looks like joke lol

[wind matrix]

Xeno posted a different version to the contest

[crisp cargo]

oh did they post the version with a trillion similarity on accident

i think i remember seeing that

[cursive brook]

[wind matrix]

Yis lol

[limpid sphinx]

staff look at technicall issues when judging?

[cursive brook]

I also posted the wrong version

[wind matrix]

I do

[plucky crest]

Nerd

[limpid sphinx]

damn i missed u on birthday contest then

[cursive brook]

Time to come to your house with a 3 way simmilarity

[crisp cargo]

||at least i got a 'love the concept' comment ||

[wind matrix]

I've never gotten a birthday contest!

[limpid sphinx]

(if you look the spritework thread from one of the winners of the last birthday contest… oh god ☠️)

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-cillian-murphy-cillian-murphy-peaky-blinders-gif-1787947313354313976

[cursive brook]

I got a comment that they liked the fur texture

It was the first time I tried that

[plucky crest]

I would add to the convo but I didnt do thiw contest

[limpid sphinx]

fur is so hard to work with it and its so good when we can reach a good result with that

[plucky crest]

I dont really enjoy spriting meloetta and I have mixed feelings bout the rockruff line (except dusk, that shit is peak)

[cursive brook]

No midnight is

Preach

[plucky crest]

Angsty teen lycanroc

[cursive brook]

Yes and that’s cool as fuck

[wind matrix]

Kinda odd that none of the rockruff line scored that high. I definitly gave some 5s to them

I was also more strict with recognizability on mellonetta because the two forms are so similar :>

[cursive brook]

The rockruff line is harder to draw and with the small window

Yeah

[limpid sphinx]

i have my theories that it happened cuz ppl cuz since lycanroc was released some time ago, meloetta stand out more

[wind matrix]

Is it?

[limpid sphinx]

wolves was shaded for the mythic

[cursive brook]

I didn’t finish the entry I wanted to make

[wind matrix]

Eh, I don't think so

[open folio]

Plus, I guess people were more hyped for Melo since it had just been announced

[limpid sphinx]

since its a new mon in the server it kinda looks like new stuff and different stuff

[cursive brook]

I just uploaded one that was elegible

[limpid sphinx]

i really think it lol

[cursive brook]

Too ambitious for the time frame

[crisp cargo]

i only really did one because i'm not greedy I didn't really have any ideas

[limpid sphinx]

no more lycanroc hype rn, it looks just like what we already saw, every meloetta sprite looks like a new and different stuff

[wind matrix]

How much time did you guys have?

[crisp cargo]

wasn't a problem of time, just one of ideas

[cursive brook]

4 days (none being weekends)

[crisp cargo]

kinda surprised we didn't get an oricorio/melo

[limpid sphinx]

monday annoucement
friday deadline

[crisp cargo]

i don't think the pa'u one in the gallery was for the contest anyway

[open folio]

Plus some leeway by allowing sprites that had been made a few days prior (which also meant more Meloetta)

[cursive brook]

I was um busy at the time too

[wind matrix]

That makes sense

[limpid sphinx]

the competition basically was: all meloetta sprites vs lycanroc really newest ones

like some ppl did the first even good ideas for lycanroc in the first lycanroc week in if

yknow

[crisp cargo]

might as well have been melo only tbh

[limpid sphinx]

yea

[open folio]

I’m sure the Rockruff team appreciates the boost to their number of fusions though

[limpid sphinx]

ofc

every boost is good anyways

[crisp cargo]

i still need to figure out my 4 oricorios/flareon

i got 2 blocked out, 2 to go

how the hell am i meant to do baile/pa'u with quadrupedal mons

[limpid sphinx]

and i think that maybe it was the only reason for we have lycanroc in the contest, some motivation to have more lycanroc fusions

i hope that we can have a lycanroc pfp in the future

one day maybe

[cursive brook]

We do

[cursive brook]

Fun fact a while ago I made a volcarona sprite for a potential lycanroc contest, but I was tired of waiting and just posted it

[daring barn]

oof

[cursive brook]

It’s a shame because I am proud of the sprite

[worthy shuttle]

Gallery post when

[sly gorge]

do you perhaps have a screenshot of which judge was which?

just asking out of pure curiosity I'm not actually expecting you to have it lol

[sly gorge]

ok this is either just a judge goofing around or straight up misinformation

[wind matrix]

Planning on going on a witch hunt?

[sly gorge]

no i just want to know which judge likes me and which one hates me

[wind matrix]

The image in the contest drive is different from the one in the gallery

[wind matrix]

We judge based on the sprite, not the person :/

[sly gorge]

I was joking

[wind matrix]

Hermmm

[open folio]

Lol, nah I don’t. I wasn’t paying enough attention at the start to even realise the columns weren’t changed. Was too busy looking for my sprites

[dense jackal]

[crisp cargo]

conversion moment

[sly gorge]

oohh

that makes a lot more sense now

[acoustic saddle]

@wind matrix if i used this would i get less score?

[wind matrix]

Is that supposed to be giratina?

[acoustic saddle]

[wind matrix]

[acoustic saddle]

yamask

[wind matrix]

It doesn't look like yamask :>

[cursive brook]

That one sprite that got 0 is funny in a twisted way

[plucky crest]

It literally has yamasks surrounding it

[elder venture]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-monkey-circle-happy-monkey-circle-happy-monkey-circle-meme-gif-19448999

[wind matrix]

You shouldn't need sfx to identify a pokemon

[plucky crest]

Fair

[worthy shuttle]

I am yamask

[tulip tusk]

you can tell it's yamask but it feels overtextured

[lone cairn]

Still waiting to see my request in the spriteworks

I really hope i didn't mistype the request

[rapid knot]

Is meloetta called mellinotta in another language, or are the judges just bad at spelling?

[plucky arch]

black with red eyes and golden accents
thorns i think you may just be a little blind

the old age is gettin to ya

[crisp cargo]

i mean it could also look like cofagrigus

[bright crow]

i thought it was giritina at first

[crisp cargo]

i think that's a valid concern tbh

idk i don't see giratina at all

[plucky arch]

the way the eye is shaped is also just Yamask's

idk for me it seems very clear

[uncut shadow]

uhh, i cant find the aurorus contest? i remember there being one where the lapras won, but i cant find it

[plucky crest]

Arent u thinking of froslass???

Cos there wasnt an aurorus contest

[uncut shadow]

wait, did aurorus didnt have a contest?

[plucky crest]

Aurorus was part of the blitz

[plucky crest]

No blitz mon did

There was a contest where froslass/lapras won just before tho

[uncut shadow]

no i definatly remember this sprite winning, but i cant find it

[plucky crest]

There wasnt an aurorus contest???

Idk what contest u mean

[uncut shadow]

was i hallucinating

[plucky crest]

Are you not confusing it with either the blitz or royale?

[frigid summit]

Mandela Effect'd

[uncut shadow]

what the hell is going on

[plucky crest]

Again, u sure it wasnt a millian royale

[uncut shadow]

like yes i can see there is no blitz event but i clearly remember there being one lol

[uncut shadow]

pretty sure

[plucky crest]

Well then idfk what ur talking about

[wind matrix]

I'm shit at spelling :>

[plucky crest]

Thorns ur smart

Right?

https://tenor.com/view/something-wrong-i-can-feel-it-eminem-rapgod-somethings-wrong-wrong-feeling-gif-20025994

Did this sprite ever win a contest, if so which one?

[wind matrix]

[crisp cargo]

Not in an official IF contest

[wind matrix]

Don't think so

[frigid summit]

It won the contest in his heart.

[plucky crest]

I'm checking millian royales

Nothing

I assume ur confusing it for the froslass/lapras that did win a contest

[crisp cargo]

we could always make it easier

[uncut shadow]

ok maybe im just really stupid lol

[cloud solstice]

you might be thinking of this one #event-announcements message

[plucky crest]

Thats what I said

[plucky crest]

.

[crisp cargo]

lapras moment

don't be rude thorns we all forgor from time to time

[frigid summit]

I could see it winning a contest, it's very pretty.

[wind matrix]

I just thought it was funny :>

[thin dove]

i'm getting pulled into so many secret spriter threads
as it should be

[crisp cargo]

lmao imagine being in secret spriter and being pulled to your own request

[sly shuttle]

That was a sprite of the week on the wiki at some point

[wind matrix]

Maybe that was it

[cursive brook]

feedback givers be punching air

[hazy chasm]

anyone else want to make a really good sprite for secret santa but cant get a better idea than the one they have now im struggling lol

[tulip drum]

Is anyone else checking sprite gallery periodically to see if their request is being made yet

[sinful pendant]

Oh absolutely

[little siren]

i`m just looking up name of pokemon that i requested, so i know if someone mentioned it. (spoiler: nobody said nothing about it) ):

[frigid summit]

Yup, pretty exciting.

[toxic grotto]

I'm secretly checking the progress of my request it's so fun

I could not resist when I saw it on spritework

[tulip drum]

damn saw mine by accident

[frigid summit]

Oops

[tulip drum]

in the drive

mine and theirs are next to eachother

[open folio]

I haven’t seen mine pop up in spritework yet. Imma try to avoid it though (I’ll probably end up seeing it if it goes in the gallery though)

[tulip drum]

they did an awesome job with it tho its SICK

[frigid summit]

That's good.

Taking a look at which one you did, you did a pretty good job too. I'm sure they'll be pleased with it.

[tulip drum]

[plucky arch]

i was trying to avoid mine, but due to smth, i checked the thread

excited to see how it ends up tho

i should prolly start mine soon

[sinful pendant]

I'm curious how many people try to actively avoid seeing their fusion early and how many look for it

[flint lintel]

casually losing my mind trying to find the secret spriter submission stuff

[plucky arch]

the drive? #event-announcements message

[flint lintel]

bless you lmao

[dry hamlet]

oh were all requests passed out already

[rapid knot]

If you didn't get one, you were one of the three who had problems with their submission

#event-announcements message

[dry hamlet]

rip me then, never knew

my fault I guess? dunno what went wrong but this feels like a shame

[civic mauve]

Try DMing @cedar quest, there might still be folks who want to trade or who also weren’t contacted

[dry hamlet]

feels bad, but thanks for the tip

[versed ridge]

I haven't seen my request pop up in #1050404143807873157 yet

🥹

[cursive brook]

Neither have I

[wind matrix]

Nore I

Started working on my secret santa. Was planning on doing a simple splice, but I ended up drawing the entire thing :>

[cursive brook]

Yay we love fully custom sprites around here :)

[fierce flume]

I’m still working on something post able. Trying to combine palettes of very different complexity lol

And it’s a community vote so I need sfx

[wind matrix]

I'm not adding sfx :>

[fierce flume]

Alright but mine are damn near necessary

[wind matrix]

Lol

[fierce flume]

The burden of a legendary fusion

[wind matrix]

Mine's taking up the entire canvas as is

[cursive brook]

I am tryharding this fusion

Wtf is that grammar

[wind matrix]

Harding? owo

[cursive brook]

Idk what went through my brain at that moment

[wind matrix]

Lol

Just claim it was autocorrect :>

[civic mauve]

Haven’t seen mine yet either, but I left it a bit open ended so I won’t necessarily be sure even when I do ^^

Started on my sprite, I like how it’s looking so far but I don’t know that it’ll really look like the reference they wanted ^^;

But we’ll see. Should be good for the contest at least ^^

[subtle moss]

Barkey used Harden, but his defense won't go any higher.

[wind matrix]

Glad I didn't get a refrence sprite :>

[wind matrix]

Won't you be able to tell by the mons use?

[civic mauve]

You don’t have to do the reference if you get a request for one, it’s just a suggestion. I just decided that a legendary alone wasn’t enough of a challenge I guess xD

[fierce flume]

Thorns you asked for Bruxish didn’t you…

[cursive brook]

What are fancy things, don’t ask just speak

I need this

[wind matrix]

What makes you say that

[fierce flume]

There were some suspicious Bruxish secret Sprite requests

[civic mauve]

I gave them some freedom

[cursive brook]

Non if requests

[civic mauve]

It’s a coup

[cursive brook]

[fierce flume]

And I know I didn’t ask for one, even though I wanted to

[wind matrix]

Was probably the trolls :>

I requested an IF-viable mon

[cursive brook]

There is also one suspicious user who may not be a spriter

[wind matrix]

If a non-spriter got in, let Gamr know

[cursive brook]

He already knows

He brought it up here

[cursive brook]

Applicants are allowed

[wind matrix]

O

[cursive brook]

Idk why

[wind matrix]

[dense jackal]

Are you sure? I didn't think they could be bothered to organise a community vote so it was going to be staff again

[fierce flume]

No I'm not sure it's just silly conjecture

We were teasing GamR for not knowing

[wind matrix]

I hope it's not a staff vote, because a lot of staff are participating

[open folio]

We’ll go with “currently undecided” then 😂

[wind matrix]

I don't think anyone knows :>

[cursive brook]

He says he has 2 weeks to decide

[wind matrix]

Lol

[sterile pasture]

the contest will be determined by a series of coin tosses

[wind matrix]

Just roll a d100 to score each one

[sterile pasture]

we'll let a cat loose in a computer lab with everyone's sprites on the screens. whoever's keyboard the cat sits on is the winner

[fierce flume]

Give these heroes some love. They didn’t ask for this but pursued greatness all the same. (I hope a Bruxish sprite wins so we get the server icon )

[cedar quest]

oh that's been resolved a while ago

it was just pizza

[wind matrix]

Pizza?

[cedar quest]

Pizzarcato

[wind matrix]

Don't put cats on pizza

[sterile pasture]

oh that. that's still not a no to the cat idea

[dull mortar]

hey gamr, have you heard about spoilers in gallery changing the name of files and maybe putting an announcment to not do that?

[fierce flume]

That might be a problem

[sly shuttle]

Does marking as spoiler on discord mobile also cause that?

[dense jackal]

yes. All spoilers start with "SPOILER_"

If you manually write that into a file name it'll act as a spoiler even without you ticking the box

[sinful pendant]

Oh wait is this not a staff vote contest?

I have a to go edit my sprite to have more SFX

[dull mortar]

funny discords trick

[toxic grotto]

man if I knew about this bruxish trick I would've requested a guzzlord fusion

but my request is very pog I can't complain

[lusty pewter]

I saw my fusion request and thank GOD the person who made them know how to spoiler tag the post

I'm staying spoiler free :3

[fierce flume]

Almost done with the first draft of mine

[junior axle]

Wait we could've asked for non IF Mons?

Dang it I should've asked for an oshawott fusion

[ornate beacon]

idk

[inland widget]

I thought it said only if? Or only if is for the contest. Unsure

[junior axle]

I mean this so

(Sorry for pinging I accidently pinged)

[fierce flume]

the blood price must be paid

[junior axle]

Also, are we allowed to look at the fusion we requested? Or do we wait

[fierce flume]

You can, just like you're allowed to open your presents early. Just don't tell the spriter.

[junior axle]

Makes sense

[inland widget]

What if every sprite is my christmas gift. Im the grinch im stealing

[junior axle]

I steal it back

[inland widget]

Nu. Im opening everyones Christmas presents then wrapping them up and putting them back

[barren abyss]

Are there some secret requests open that didn’t got advised?

I would gladly do them

[lusty pewter]

tell that to @ gordo

they take volunteers jic any request goes unfulfilled

[barren abyss]

Oki

[lusty pewter]

also yeah iirc the form said it must be possible to fuse in IF, but now I'm not 100% sure myself lol

[limpid sphinx]

the non-if stuff is probably cuz it could have to have a lot of work to redo these requests or something like that

or maybe these non-if are a spoiler from the future mons

but yea probably the first option

[lusty pewter]

lol they be time travelling back to tell us the future of pokemon IF and the possible fusion option XD

[fierce flume]

Christmas Future

[lusty pewter]

future surprise: pokemon IF will have all pokemon available for fusion up to gen 9, but plot twist! canon already at gen 20 :)

[dull mortar]

||bruxish sweep real||

[dense jackal]

I hope bruxish is frogman's Christmas gift to the server

[acoustic saddle]

why there is only Bruxish as non IF SS request. but not any other pokemon

time to get ur tin foil hat on

[dull mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/justin-fish-uk-fish-teeth-fish-justin-discord-justin-fish-pokemon-gif-22340848

[lusty pewter]

people are tired of using jynx's lips so they want bruxist in for more options

[inland widget]

Guys the description for this channel... misspells the word and, and now you can't unsee it

[fierce flume]

I just love single stages for the game, adds a fresh design without all the baggage of an evolutionary line with similar aesthetics.

• Strong Jaw and Dazzling are super cool abilities

Man, Pokemon really did peak with USUM

[lusty pewter]

tho there is the benefit of evo line giving more option if you want specific style like duskull if you want smth to do with skull and dusclops if you want creepy bandage design

also a benefit if someone want to make a design that shows growth of some kind

[fierce flume]

Yeah, but I like having a fusion and not worrying about it evolving and losing its custom sprite

[lusty pewter]

oh def that's a good point for pokemon that doesn't evolve

[inland widget]

thats why you make a custom sprite when it evolves... No though its always heartbreaking evolving a fusion and its a autogen

[little cypress]

You could do the fusions for all the evolutions of the lines to prevent this?

[fierce flume]

Too much WORk

[lusty pewter]

it def can be a lot of work yeah

[lusty pewter]

and you also have some restriction of making its pre-evo more simple so that it won't be mistaken for its evolution

tho if you do it right it can look pretty cool imo

[limpid sphinx]

you dont know if the requests are from staff members 😂😂😂

[limpid sphinx]

i have an old bruxish/jynx concept in my pc

[lusty pewter]

bruh it gonna be a sprite with 50% lips XD

[limpid sphinx]

🫦🫦🫦

[bleak flint]

kinda sad i already finished my secret spriter sprite. now im just like...now what

[dull mortar]

mmmmmmmmmmilian royale

:y

[bleak flint]

?

[dull mortar]

it's a kinda competition thing pinned in spriter general lounge that has a weekly theme and at the end of the week the entries get ranked in tiers

this weeks theme is toys

[bleak flint]

hmmm maybe

[inland widget]

You could do the reverse if it isnt done

[bleak flint]

hmmm

thats a good idea

[inland widget]

I wanna do that with mine if I have time

[bleak flint]

i actually have a good idea for a toy idea. its a mon that already has 2 fusions but i think it would be a fun ref alt

[inland widget]

Oh my god wait toy i might try to do that.

[dull mortar]

:^)!!

[worthy turtle]

Do we get extra points if our sprite is animated like last year's winner?

[lusty pewter]

animation is banned

afaik that is

[worthy turtle]

drat

[lusty pewter]

you prob still can make animation as a surprise for the requestor

likely won't be part of the contest tho

[worthy turtle]

i want to actually have a chance at winning this but my sprite is already done in my eyes

i dont know how to improve it

i dont know how to make it contest worthy

[lusty pewter]

same with mine, I'm just waiting a bit to see what people think about it in is-my-sprite-ready

[worthy turtle]

i have two more weeks to improve it, but i feel like, based on how i started the design, there's nowhere to go

where do I go from here

[lusty pewter]

maybe add some dust in the back?

ngl can't tell what it's fused with tho

oh wait, is it self fusion?

[plucky crest]

Whirlipede

Pretty obvious imo

[lusty pewter]

ah, yeah that wasn't obvious for me

[fierce flume]

Bastirdon

[distant robin]

lmao not even whirlipede

[lusty pewter]

wat?

ok now I'm confused lol

[distant robin]

donphan/bastiodon?

[fierce flume]

The colors are pretty Obvious for Bastiodon/Donphan

[lusty pewter]

might be the reverse?

[distant robin]

yeah mb

[lusty pewter]

ah yeah now that you mention it I can see it

[acoustic saddle]

u gon animating it rolling?

[near horizon]

why not adding some patches of dirt on the trunk to show that's rolling in mud ?

[quartz locust]

#1050404143807873157. 😛

[worthy turtle]

I already have a post and Sprite work

I just wanted to be here to complain 🤪

[worthy turtle]

I was considering that

[worthy turtle]

This I was considering even more

But I don't have much experience in animation

[acoustic saddle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1110802981537992794/1169730162863132722/423.67.gif?ex=657b611b&is=6568ec1b&hm=db1433881841910eabd3ac02e261592aba0bdcc4d8554ca56cb27f6b367ff21f&

[worthy turtle]

It's bastiodonphan

[acoustic saddle]

just rotate it in paint.net at 288

[worthy turtle]

Fyi

[acoustic saddle]

just example of how to make simple rotate gif

[worthy turtle]

Yeah, but that would probably just make it earn less points

If I'm going to animate it, I'm going to animate it properly

Maybe just rolling back and forth a little bit

Did you see last year's winner?

[acoustic saddle]

where

[worthy turtle]

Contest gallery

[acoustic saddle]

was it community vote

[worthy turtle]

#contest-gallery message

I wasn't there for it, I was just looking through the gallery and found it

[worthy turtle]

I think so

Now that I think about it, do you think I could get away with animating the trunk moving but not the body?

So the wheel spins around a nonmoving body?

[acoustic saddle]

woah, animation, how cheating

[acoustic saddle]

is it iron treads

[worthy turtle]

I mean, best you Don is a steel type

Bastiodon

Yeah, I can't animate

[lusty pewter]

pfft, "bastiodon" --auto-correct--> "best you Don"

[quartz locust]

Oh no, not the return of the animation meta.

[worthy turtle]

Actually, it's because of voice typing

I happen to prefer voice typing over actually using the keyboard

[lusty pewter]

ah fair lol

voice typing def won't know pokemon names XD

[worthy turtle]

I certainly ain't doing it

[lusty pewter]

you should, not for contest but for practice, if you ignore how tedious it is, it's pretty fun :)

[worthy turtle]

Actually, it knows charizard, wooper meloetta victini jirachi thundurus landorus tornadoes

Okay I guess it doesn't know all of the genies

[worthy turtle]

It was hard enough making this first version, now I need to make it many more times from slightly different angles?

[lusty pewter]

tornadoes what other ginie don't

[lusty pewter]

well I did say if you ignore the tedious part

[worthy turtle]

And for this, I would have to make the whole thing from scratch, because the whole thing is spinning

Yeah, but the tediousness is very hard to ignore

[quartz locust]

It's a whole separate art form to learn.

[lusty pewter]

true dat lol

[worthy turtle]

It would be hard enough just to do registeel/judinja, let alone this

[lusty pewter]

I did an animation (relatively) recently, it's a shedinja/melo-aria fusion

so I can tell how tedious it can feel

[worthy turtle]

What can I do in terms of animation that wouldn't involve making the entire thing roll

I guess I could make it breathe steam out

[acoustic saddle]

:0 oh i saw it, it was very awesome

[lusty pewter]

ayy :D

[acoustic saddle]

( m u , u)m master

where can i obtain this power

[worthy turtle]

I didn't see this, could you post a link?

Or post the thing itself?

[lusty pewter]

from doing other animation project that you abandon cuz you're too ashamed to show how bad it is

oh sure 1 sec

[worthy turtle]

Ah. That

I saw some stills from that

[acoustic saddle]

🤌

[lusty pewter]

my fav part is def the timing. once I sprited what I want to sprite putting it together and trying to time things together is pretty fun

[quartz locust]

That's absolutely phenomenal work! ❤️

[near horizon]

i love the banshee like moment x)

[lusty pewter]

thank you :3

[graceful plank]

great timing and smears on this

[lusty pewter]

thx :)

[worthy turtle]

that's the best i can do

[lusty pewter]

is it spewing black clouds from the ear?

[worthy turtle]

yes

[lusty pewter]

XD

well that aside I really like the cloud effect

[worthy turtle]

i couldnt figure out the perspective for the nose to do it

[lusty pewter]

well phanpy have the nose right at the tip so donphan prob similar, but since it's posed like that the smoke gonna be comming out of the ground lol XD

or actually maybe not... looking through bulba for more reference point and seem like it's not at the tip on donphan

ok found a better reference pic and yeah you can't see the nostrils at all

so prob the best place for smoke to come out is here

[worthy turtle]

Nah, I'm saying the body would block it

Either way, not doing it

[lusty pewter]

lol ok fair enough XD

[worthy turtle]

Though seeing all these regular donphan makes me a lot prouder of my own sprite

[lusty pewter]

it's a good sprite yeah, it took me awhile to get the fusion but it's pretty good

[worthy turtle]

Thanks

Do you think there's a way for me to show is donphan better?

And not whirli?

[lusty pewter]

donphan is very obvious imo

what isn't obvious is bastiodon

[worthy turtle]

Oh, I thought they was your issue

You thought it was mawile?

[lusty pewter]

nah donphan is super obvious for me

nah I thought first it was self fusion

[worthy turtle]

Oh, who thought it was whirl?

[worthy turtle]

Ah, ok

[lusty pewter]

the reasion I thought it was self fusion cuz it just look like regular donphan but with spiked tires instead of normal one

I completely forgot bastiodon have similar color (as in the blue-ish grey)

[worthy turtle]

Gotcha

Where'd you think the yellow came from?

[lusty pewter]

ngl, I brain farted and thought normal donphan have that color XD

[worthy turtle]

Gotcha

[worthy turtle]

@cedar quest how many people have posted their secret spriter sprite so far?

[lusty pewter]

I've posted in sprite work but not in gallery just yet

[rough frost]

whosever request I have, it's going to be a while, so don't feel anxious if yours isn't done until much closer to the deadline

[lusty pewter]

well we are given 2 week for 1 sprite, much less compared to the usual where we can have up to 2-3 sprite in 5-7 days

so there's def a lot more time till deadline

btw how's your request going? got ideas for it yet?

[cursive brook]

the dead line is two weeks for a reason

[rough frost]

mine? Yes, plenty

[lusty pewter]

sweet, does your request have green in it?

[rough frost]

you are asking the wrong lady if there's green in a sprite

debatably

[lusty pewter]

ah true lol

are there any suspicious brown color

cuz if there are there's def a need for a second opinion for the coloring

[cursive brook]

wtf

[lusty pewter]

did I stutter?

[rough frost]

could be

[rough frost]

I'm colorblind

[cursive brook]

oh

[lusty pewter]

then ig I'll be looking out for your post (whenever you'll post that is)

if there's green I'll try to help out as best as I can :)

[dense jackal]

The perspective on your spikes is a little odd. They could either converge on a point in the distance, or all be roughly parallel. They really shouldn't diverge (but I'd understand if you were so far in on the sprite you didn't want to make such a change at this point)
||If you wanted me to use your thread you should've posted it ||
[edit: redacted images for spoiler reasons 👼 ]

[worthy turtle]

I did a while ago

[cursive brook]

You forgot the spoiler

[dense jackal]

They didn't spoiler it themselves 😛

[cursive brook]

False

[dense jackal]

Oh... Right...I already clicked it and haven't changed channels 💀

[cursive brook]

[dense jackal]

Thanks for the heads up 🙂

[worthy turtle]

By the way, what does the contest Santa role look like?

[spring geyser]

if we get a non IF mon we just name it our discord username and nothing else right?

[cursive brook]

Idk maybe make it a clever reference fusion

Like fusions that add other Pokemon like features

[spring geyser]

I meant when submitting it to the google drive

[lusty pewter]

just submitted my secret spriter request to gallery and google drive, lets see if I can get a higher score than last time :3

[tiny heron]

I’d do where the non if Pokémon has ???

[lusty pewter]

yeah, "???" looks good enough

[quartz locust]

What one did you get? 😮

Spoiler tag it. 😉

[lusty pewter]

it looks like it's a ||bruxish/spiritomb|| fusion

there's leftover sprite in #fusion-bot

[spring geyser]

||Bruxish lmao||

[open folio]

I was planning on putting mine in the drive as ???.XXX by dorklan.png

[quartz locust]

I just realised I couldn't spoiler tag a GIF. 😛

[lusty pewter]

yeah I saw that lol XD

[sterile pasture]

this whole event is like a christmas exchange without tape. just wrapping paper slipping off every which way

still fun tho. it's an extra challenge lol

[lusty pewter]

I feel bad for people who requested a head fusion with dex numbers that are on the lower end

they gonna get spoiled regardless of what they do (assuming they join the contest by submitting to google drive)

unless... ig they could ask someone else to post their sprite for them

[near horizon]

you can spoiler a gif

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/zoidberg-dios-mio-gif-18606039

[lusty pewter]

ah right forgot the SPOILER_ naming strat

[open folio]

I don’t think you can from tenor ones that you can search. It automatically posts them whenever you click it

[near horizon]

nah, i've just clicked on the eye when posting the file x)

[quartz locust]

There isn't an eye. 😮

[lusty pewter]

ah true XD

[open folio]

Save and then post should work

[quartz locust]

At least not for me. 😂

[lusty pewter]

yeah there's no eye for gif search

[lusty pewter]

gotta download it then upload it manually lol

[spring geyser]

My phone won't allow me to use ? as part of a file name

[tiny heron]

dang

then do XXX or something

[lusty pewter]

how about using dash?

[tiny heron]

well X

[lusty pewter]

like ---/XXX

[tiny heron]

kinda unfortunate theres some non if pokemon that were requested

[spring geyser]

I think I'll use XXX.spiritombsifdexnum

[limpid sphinx]

please XXX no 😂😂😭

[dense jackal]

[lusty pewter]

you just got uno reversed card by discord itself lol

[dense jackal]

Or does it

[crisp cargo]

Not tenor gifs like the ones Blaq uses

at least not the normal way

you can always do || around the tenor link but that's not what blaq wants I'm guessing

[quartz locust]

Ah, yeah that's not there when just clicking it without saving. 😛

Oh wow, that works though. 😮

[toxic grotto]

wait when did bruxish get mechanically modified?

[void sluice]

since Rocket Team

[cursive brook]

I didn’t know bruxish had unironic fans

[sterile pasture]

sometimes you like something ironically for so long that it becomes unironically

[cursive brook]

I feel that

[fierce flume]

I remember when yeet was ironic

[cursive brook]

Yeet the baby

[fierce flume]

Now I've fallen in love with a fish

[cursive brook]

https://tenor.com/view/punt-kick-baby-grandma-gif-8217719

[wintry mauve]

what the f

[open folio]

Does this seem fine, or is there still some work left to do? (Don’t click if your request contained a Stunfisk)

[fierce flume]

It's beautiful

Man I hope my request gets posted to spritework soon so I can patiently wait for it to enter the gallery

[civic mauve]

I’ve always liked Bruxish as a psychic type that feels like it would cause you to take psychic damage just by looking at it. And based on some of the reactions I’ve seen to it, it seems like it even works irl

[tulip jungle]

Is the idea supposed to be that we don't check our request out while it's in spritework? I've been waiting

[fierce flume]

It's whatever you want it to be, just don't tell the spriter you're the one who requested it

[tulip jungle]

Naturally. I just didn't know if I should avoid checking it out when mine pops up

[dull mortar]

@cedar quest sorry to ping but I don't know if you've heard, I'm wondering if you could put in the secret spriter announcments or something to not spoiler sprites in the gallery, because it changes the title of the file?

[wind matrix]

only if you want to

[lofty skiff]

how do you spoiler images on computer

for the spritework post

[dull mortar]

click on the thumbnail and it should pop up

you might have to click it twice?

[cloud solstice]

when you hover the image

[dull mortar]

yeah that

[tulip jungle]

I think as long as the main one is spoilered the rest don't need to be? Should be able to change the name one time and be fine. It seems pretty harmless, even if it does annoy me a smidge when looking at the gallery.

[dull mortar]

it's more for the people who have to gather up the sprites for packs, so they don't have to rename a bunch of files because discord put SPOILER in them

[tulip jungle]

That's a good point.

My brain confused gallery and spritework. Sorry about that.

[dull mortar]

pats! that's okay, it's pretty much fine everywhere else (as annoying as I also find it )

[tulip jungle]

Dropped my phone trying to post an emoji. Nailed that.

[daring barn]

Man

[sly shuttle]

Hey @cedar quest , I saw a few people put 2 versions of their sprite in the drive. This is a one submission per person contest, right?

[cedar quest]

Correct

I'll fix it

[blissful kindle]

Still bothered by no spotlight when the easiest way to not think hard on it was to give Lycanroc some love since it's absent from the podium

[cursive brook]

Blame the long wait for the contest and meloetta’s release

[blissful kindle]

They just wanted to skip Lyc but got pressured into adding it

[cursive brook]

As a lycanroc fan this makes me feel many emotions

[flat coyote]

||i need a suggestion of a fighting type that would work well w dhelmise for the contest||

[cursive brook]

You cannot suggest anymore

Rip bozo

[flat coyote]

ik

it's for my sprite

[cursive brook]

[flat coyote]

it literally said a pokemon and any pokemon of one type

[cursive brook]

Oh you mean a background mon

[flat coyote]

yeah

[cursive brook]

Why specifically a fighting type?

[flat coyote]

the request said it

[cursive brook]

Idk lucario??????

[flat coyote]

idk if i can make it work

[hazy chasm]

this is the most times ive redone a sprite this is the final version for now (dont click if your request contains sandslash)

[elder marlin]

|| Bewear ||

[hazy chasm]

||heracross||

[civic mauve]

||Meloetta Pirouette|| could be fun

[dense jackal]

i think the most common shapes are with ||gallade||

[civic mauve]

Oh, does it specify ||which one should be the head/body||?

[flat coyote]

i think ||dhelmise is supposed to be the head||, ||i think i'll do heracross though||

[thin dove]

I am once again questioning why paint.net flips my entire goddamn canvas when i try to flip a selected portion of an image

[hazy chasm]

LETS GOOO

[limpid sphinx]

select the portion
ctrl C
ctrl N
enter
ctrl V
flip
select again
ctrl c + ctrl v on the previous canvas

[tulip tusk]

I'm trying to sketch my secret santa sprite and I'm blanking on some elements but I can't ask discussion for help sobs

[hazy chasm]

oof

[wind matrix]

make a spritework thread for the sketch :>

[thin dove]

ah, you can't ask for discussion help either 🤝

so to be clear, we're not supposed to mark spritework threads as spoilers, yeah? how do we make sure we don't accidentally spoil the fusion for our secret santee?

[open folio]

Spritework threads are fine as spoilers I think. It’s just gallery posts that can’t be

[thin dove]

ahh, i see

is there a set deadline? i'm trying to look again in event-announcements but i'm not exactly seeing one

[subtle moss]

28th of december

[thin dove]

ty

[subtle moss]

it's mentioned here

#event-announcements message

feel free to double-check, might differ between us cuz of time zones

[cursive brook]

Spritework threads are fine cuz they aren’t posted

The problem with spoiler gallery is that is changes the name of the png

[lusty pewter]

Hmm... no spoiler huh, alr I'll do that later when I'm on my computer

[stiff viper]

So as a new spriter to this event, how does the icon contest work? Is it just a staff vote for the secret spriter sprites uploaded to the google drive?

[wind matrix]

voting's done on sprites in the drive. No one knows who's voting tho

[stiff viper]

understood, thanks!

[dull mortar]

it's the staffs moms doing the voting

[lusty pewter]

just reuploaded the sprite to gallery, no spoiler tagged this time

[quartz locust]

Informal highlights for the highest-scoring Lycanroc Midday and Midnight entries. 🙂

Bonus informal highlights for the highest-scoring opposite Lycanroc positions of the previous two. 😉

All really nice sprites, you should be very proud. ❤️

[lusty pewter]

the manager gonna make the next contest lycanroc only cuz meloetta did it dirty and steal all of their spotlight lol

[acoustic saddle]

meloette would be the next Gard

[lusty pewter]

waifu material will always be top :3

[near horizon]

and we'll be here to punish those who breaks rule 2

[lusty pewter]

oh no, cops are here, quick! hide your cuddle pillow!

[acoustic saddle]

death

[near horizon]

i'm not a cop, i'm just a crab, an innocent crab, who would never harm anyone

[versed ridge]

Cuddle pillow of what?

[lusty pewter]

what cuddle pillow there's no cuddle pillow here yup nothing at all

[sick herald]

hey quick question, are sprites sprited based off of concept art allowed for contests

[lusty pewter]

wdym "allowed for concepts"? as in can you use it as a base?

or do you mean smth else?

[sick herald]

sorry contests

[lusty pewter]

ah, if it's your concept art sure. if it's other people I don't think it's allowed (unless the contest being held allows collab, in which case maybe it's fine)

[cursive brook]

I thought no one gave a shit about meloetta lmao

guess I was wrong

[lusty pewter]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

not really sure about others but I really like meloetta

[cursive brook]

I only ever heard people saying that meloetta was ok to bad

[lusty pewter]

I like singer type characters

[cursive brook]

I think it could have been more cleverly done

[lusty pewter]

well for me personally I like her. I think she's a cute pokemon that you can have fun with playing dress up doll

only thing is her body is pretty small so hard to put more detail into the sprite without zooming in

[near horizon]

can you explain your situation please :)

ping me when you answer otherwise i might not see it

[cedar quest]

oh you wish, this was it

[supple magnet]

This u?

[near horizon]

it could have, but it's not

also, kingler's dominant claw is the one on our right, is it a design choic that you inverted ?

[supple magnet]

O h

[near horizon]

otherwise, nothing to say, nice sprite

(except maybe add a tongue inside of the mouth ? but that's just design suggestion, feel free to ignore it)

[cursive brook]

man fuck that

how dirtily done was lycanroc done lmao

[near horizon]

[lusty pewter]

guess meloetta is just more fun to fuse with than a dog with sum rock

[cursive brook]

disagreed

[cloud solstice]

more like it depends on if your more inclined to draw animals or humanoid
meloetta is like an alternative to gardevoir

[cursive brook]

gardevoir is just the cooler meloetta

[cloud solstice]

less risk of rule 2

[cursive brook]

still better

[dense jackal]

I have had gardevoir on a lot of my teams, and didn't really know meloetta existed 'til a couple years ago... But I still think the music theming and the form change makes them pretty cool, and not just "worse gardevoir"

[cloud solstice]

I don't think it's worse gardevoir, more like an alternative to make a feminine humanoid

[lusty pewter]

meloetta is smaller than garde so it can make for some cute fusion, especially with music/idol theming

[cloud solstice]

and since the face isn't covered you can probably have more liberties with the facial expression

[cursive brook]

gardevoir is just my prefered feminine pokemon ( call me basic I don't care)

[cloud solstice]

I mean gardevoir is a very pretty pokemon IMO, it's just ruined by the internet

[lusty pewter]

you're not basic, garde can make some elegant fusion. personally doe the larger size makes it... would difficult be the right word? not really difficult but hard fit a "cute" theme on it

[cursive brook]

almost wedding like in appearance

[lusty pewter]

meloetta's smaller size makes it easier to make them cute

[cloud solstice]

meloetta is more similar to kirlia than garde, thinking about it

esp the pirouette form

[lusty pewter]

ah ye, it kinda is

[dense jackal]

yeah, pirouette and kirlia don't have much between them as a concept for a body 😛

[lusty pewter]

well there is the hair, but yeah body shape-wise it doesn't have much difference

[haughty haven]

I mean pirouette gives you music elements if you want tho so that’s pretty fun imo

[lusty pewter]

yeah I def loving the music/idol/performer aspect of meloetta

[silent lantern]

Question: how close does a fusion have to be to its base components for Secret Spriter?

[lusty pewter]

unless the requestor want smth specific I think normal spriting rules apply

[silent lantern]

It just, so as to not give much away, || I have to work with a beak and rat teeth, so I’m trying to find a cute workaround so I can keep with the holiday theme.||

[cursive brook]

||buck teeth and a beak||

[shrewd garnet]

||base it off anatomy of squirrels in psychonauts||

[plush vale]

so a ||brat||

[gentle yew]

why are there so many bruxish sprites in the folder

[dull mortar]

passion for bruxish

[gentle yew]

I didn't know that was possible

[limpid sphinx]

cuz bruxish is the better mon that exists

[elder venture]

I was wondering this too. I thought I was one of the few who liked bruxish, but I feel like there's a bruxish cult trying to get one over out here.

[dull mortar]

as there should be

[hollow grove]

There is no bruxish cult in IF

[fierce flume]

Done and Posted to gallery

AND I saw a spritework for my request. Good event

[toxic pebble]

I did some alts for secret spriter, should I upload all of them (3 sprites) in the drive or just the "main" one ?

[open folio]

Only one should go in the drive

[deep gyro]

^ #event-announcements message

[toxic pebble]

yes I saw that, but what is the icon contest thing ?

[deep gyro]

It's the contest that's part of the Secret Spriter event

[toxic pebble]

so what does it mean, should I upload the alts ? it's confusing

[deep gyro]

If you want to participate in the contest phase of the secret spriter event, you upload one version

I believe when other people uploaded multiple versions before, some of those versions got removed so...

[limpid sphinx]

no, only 1 version

[toxic pebble]

oh ok I finally read the announcement right, thank you guys for clarifying

[limpid sphinx]

its a bit confuse in the first attempt fr ngl lol

[deep gyro]

Yeah, if you just quickly skim the announcement you might not realize it's a list of don'ts

Your eyes are just immediately drawn to the bullet points

[toxic pebble]

my brain though really hard it understood the first time. I was so confused

[uncut shadow]

can i please have my contest elite four be shown instead of contest gym leader?

[sick herald]

so like, if i make a sprite based off of someone else's concept art, is it still allowed for contests?

[near horizon]

first, do you have the permission of the artist to use their art for a fusion ?

[thin dove]

all right i went through the entire sprite resources guide but it's not in there

i need something very specific.

I need that tutorial for whimsicott fluff, if anyone can find it

[plush vale]

prob put it in #discord-suggestions

[uncut shadow]

i dont think its a discord suggestion, its just a decor, i dont want to add a new thread just to asked for it to be changed

i just like my nincada pawniard more

[plush vale]

the suggestion is change the priority of the roles

elite four is harder to earn no?

[uncut shadow]

yes

[plush vale]

thus it should be a higher priority set role for all

[uncut shadow]

you got a point there, ill add it

[sick herald]

yeah, i mean from #1118681755759693865

[thick harness]

Finally started the design for my secret santa; not really much I can do for posing so i'm trying to really focus on the design

think i've thought of a fun concept; just gotta see if I can pull it off

[thin dove]

👀 YES THOSE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[tulip jungle]

So wait, at the end of the event do the people making the sprites find out who requested them?

[dull mortar]

can we put the whimsicott guide in resources or--

[sly shuttle]

Gordo said the we will be able to see the entire assignment sheet afterward

[tulip jungle]

Sweet.

[sly shuttle]

It’s not on that tutorial image, but don’t forget the nubs in-between some of the lumps

[uncut shadow]

already there

its way up

[primal cloud]

@cedar quest sorry for the ping but the recent contest isn't in #contest-gallery (just need to copy the announcements post)

[cedar quest]

I'll get to it, busy week

[dull mortar]

I don't see it :x there's a pyuku guts tutorial and thats as close as it gets

[uncut shadow]

huh, guess it got removed maybe, i always used it when making whimsicott heads

[dull mortar]

hm maybe the maker didn't want it up anymore..

[plush vale]

I dont see a notacharmander here at least

coulda name changed

[plucky arch]

they were at some point they mightve left

[plush vale]

yeah but if tehy did coulda been on bad terms and removed it and we dotn discuss specifics cause htat one rule but I at least dk/remember

[sly shuttle]

@distant robin , @tropic bramble , and @barren abyss , you can only have one version of your sprites in the drive

[barren abyss]

even if the request was a alt aswell?

hmm

alright

[dense jackal]

Reminder that #event-announcements exists for those who are participating in events

[distant robin]

aw man

i’ll remove the alt when i can

[fierce flume]

@astral niche #sprite-gallery message Please don't mark your post as a spoiler when posting to Sprite Gallery, you can delete it from the gallery and repost without the spoiler.

[cedar quest]

i love people who do this. honest to god

saves me so much time

ty

:)

[dense jackal]

when i visited this link i ended up at two more while looking for it, right next to each other and everything 😆

um, so that's @heavy furnace and @magic sail , yous need to fix your gallery posts because spoilers change the file names 🙂

it's really weird the bot doesn't complain about it though

.
@cedar quest you want to bold and italics the word "don't" in the announcement?

[halcyon idol]

do we post the secret spriter sprites to the sprite-gallery

[haughty haven]

Yes, just don't spoiler tag them or anything

[thin dove]

i forget, what's the deal with sprite feedback givers and getting sucked into secret santa threads? is it just "hope you don't get the one being made for you"?

[lusty pewter]

probably yeah XD

honestly I think people should be warned not to use that command on secret spriter posts

[dense jackal]

or a person with the feedback tag can take the responsibility to remove it if they care 😛

[deep gyro]

Found another one #sprite-gallery message

@thick timber you shouldn't spoiler tag your gallery posts, as that messes with the file name

[thick timber]

Oh, I'm sorry

[deep gyro]

Dw, it's a fair mistake to make

[limpid sphinx]

i mean, if ppl are making a good use from the spoiler thing, its probably not a problem

[worthy turtle]

By the way, does anyone know what the contest Santa role icon looks like?

[uncut shadow]

How does it look?

[cloud solstice]

There's a icon for that?

[misty acorn]

Kiwi was it I think, should be Delibird/Snorlax

[uncut shadow]

does the secret Santa role have a unique color to it? like contest champion

[misty acorn]

@tall moss sorry for lè ping, just ignore it

there you go, she has the role

[lusty pewter]

idk if it's changed but you can ping someone without actually pinging them. if you edit your prev message that doesn't have ping to now having ping, you can ping them without sending a ping notification to them (I hope that make sense lol, there's a lot of ping in this message XD)

[graceful plank]

what you're thinking of is clicking off the '@ on' button when you reply to someone

[lusty pewter]

no what I'm talking about is this:

@graceful plank

[graceful plank]

[lusty pewter]

like that

[sterile pasture]

Pings don't notify the person if you edit them in afterward iirc

[lusty pewter]

don't ping when you first send message

then edit it so it does ping

[graceful plank]

I should probably have tabbed out of this channel while you did that

[lusty pewter]

we could test it out again lol

[sterile pasture]

Do it again. For science

[lusty pewter]

or how about this, I go to #event-announcements and count to 20

you guys do it

see if there's notif

[sterile pasture]

@lusty pewter ok go

[lusty pewter]

idk if that's enough time but this is what I got

no ping just notif someone talked

[sterile pasture]

SCIENCE

[lusty pewter]

if I go there it shows someone did ping but I got 0 notif

it's prob a way so people don't keep getting pinged when someone editing their message with a ping in it

cuz if you ping even after edit someone could got double pinged from the same message

[sterile pasture]

Oh yeah makes sense

[lusty pewter]

anyway, little discord hack to get user roles from ping without pinging them

[dense jackal]

There's also supposed to be something about writing @ silent at the start of a message but I've never looked into it

@lusty pewter congratulations on being selected as my test subject

[lusty pewter]

got ping notif

[dense jackal]

Looks like it probably worked...

Oh damn

[lusty pewter]

yeah I got ping

saw the red dot a split second before I scroll down

[dense jackal]

Weird. It has that snooze looking icon on the message and everything

[lusty pewter]

try doing it one more time

I'll go to dif channel

[dense jackal]

@lusty pewter boop

[lusty pewter]

hm... ok I didn't get notif sound but I did get red notif

as in someone pinged me but just didn't make sound

which is different compared to the edit ping method that completely silent

[dense jackal]

I guess that could be pretty helpful. Attention grabbing when they're online, but otherwise chill

Kind of like an @ here

[lusty pewter]

yeye

[dense jackal]

I wonder if it can work with replies... Because an "off" reply doesn't do the @ here thing but maybe an @ silent "on" reply could

[lusty pewter]

give it a try, silent reply ping me

[dense jackal]

test time!

[lusty pewter]

same as last time, no sound only red notif

[dense jackal]

Ooh, I'm probably going to use that a lot! Thanks for the science

[lusty pewter]

science!

[plucky arch]

boy, really unique xill ive seen here, rly, excellent art lads

secret spriter is gonna be lit this year

(i still gotta start mine)

[cursive brook]

Procrastination

[lusty pewter]

I started mine pretty much the next day cuz... well I have some spare time might as well right?

[limpid sphinx]

(me too 😦 )

[near horizon]

i'm sad for the one who got my request, and angry at the one who gave mine

[dense jackal]

my two 'mons have very opposite personalities and i don't know if my requester wanted the outcome to be cute or badass as a result

[lusty pewter]

do both

[cursive brook]

Hmm ask #spriting-discussion

[dense jackal]

how? 😆

[cedar quest]

I still gotta finish mine

It’s a pain in the ass I tell ya

not the Brux one, a diff one.

[limpid sphinx]

whats the fusion? :0

[dense jackal]

I can't say that, they'll find me

[cursive brook]

Ask them with a spoiler tag and take a poll

[dense jackal]

but then they'd know me, and i'd know them. Not acceptable 😛
(But i appreciate the thought ^^ )

[cursive brook]

That happens when u post in spritework tho

[dense jackal]

only if they tell me 🙂
Plus i'd rather they first find out when i look like i know what i'm doing 😆

[lusty pewter]

idk which request you got but I def know it's not mine since I saw a post in spritework of my request and it wasn't you (didn't see the sprite tho so still gonna be a surprise for me :3)

[dull mortar]

time to make both a cute and cool one

[elder venture]

Someone made the fusion I requested, but they didn't tag it with Secret Spriter nor spoilered it 🤔 either that's bonkers coincidence or they done goofed lol.

I hope it is coincidence so I get two the sprite heh.

[dense jackal]

tagging and spoilering aren't requirements

[elder venture]

It is not, but there's no indication it is a request, so I am leaning to it not being related, which is funny.

[dense jackal]

haha true. I hope you got lucky 😛

[cloud solstice]

maybe it's a 900 iq tactic to make you think it isn't your request

[cedar quest]

tagging it is

I mean some people haven’t

just makes it harder for me to find

so it’s moreso

for your sake

it’s required

[elder venture]

Some 4D chess maneuverer beyond my comprehension...

[daring barn]

how long do we have to finish the secret spriter?

[daring barn]

thank you

[plush vale]

interesting not 25th

[haughty haven]

oh god oh heck I still need to do that ahahaha

[rapid knot]

I mean, that makes sense. You don't want any last-minute spriters to feel like they have to work on Christmas
