show me buddy!
Heee hee not until i kill u
Oh, Cresselia's here.
it's so metal! pun intended
damn there were actually only 5 backup spriters I thought there were way more
no one respects ferrothorn's insane fusion potential
@rapid knot yea i knew you were the one i got for my request
it was really fun to work with ngl
it's got a good color scheme and who doesn't want steampunk mechs with plants on them
5 current ones, I didn't pass out the rest of the requests
oooh
i put a lot of effort on that one 💪
Happy New Year, Merry Christmas, Death to Cresselia
nobody took the dhelmise fusion sobs
so @civic mauve what was the reference you need to make later and why was it Scrapdragon 
it's a really beautiful sprite, I was so giddy when i got sucked into that thread
@pine rose I hope u enhou that flying turtle, took me forever to get things right 😤
Merry Christmas
I kinda want to try the dhelmise fusion tbh
it'd be a pain in the ass but like
cool bug
and Merry Christmas @sinful pendant
show me I'm curious
so, let's see, I got Fangtooth's request
@crude cedar I hope your starter lasted and you didn't just unfuse it 
not sure if I've seen that name around?
Whos my replacement spriter
||Magnezone/Giratina||
We gotta find one still
i don't know who I got
You got _sadfroggy
🥹
anyway, check the list, totodile
How long will this need to take
hehe she's cute
Although I didn't leave any feedback on it. Felt kinda disingenuous.
the fusions I got were scolipede/bewear and rhyperior/sableye
turns out bewear is kinda hard to sprite a body fusion for since it's rectangle shaped-

never thought of that but yea
Man nobody did my sprite this event SUCKS ‼️
@thin dove
I TRIED MAN, NO ONE WANTED IT 
go to the twilight zone
Yeah and I love it, it has the great little goofy grin I hoped for
Why are people haters
@fair crag I LOVED UR REQUES:DDDD
The amount of times that one got passed around ;-;
what's the request egg
the fusion looks nothing like bewear but like
it has spiked fists
now I'm curious
that makes up for it-?
Oh, you were the requester xD
wait let me figure out how to link
yeah! XD
||mawile palkia that was a reference to evangelion||
yeah I wouldn't wanna do that either
I must say i was quite giddy when I found out what i got pinged into
Kills you with a brick
@dawn prairie and are you happy with my work?
rather just make mawile/palkia
Remove spoiler
I think that looks like bewear
Merry Christmas
No more spoilers 
glad you enjoyed it.
Grr thats not mawile ,,,
holy shit that's cool
is that aurorus or avalugg?
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1190860940028162160 Did you see the reference version I started working on to make up for not getting it to work w/ yours?
or somehow both
#sprite-gallery message also this bozo
Yeah have to remember to not spoiler stuff all the time
This is totally not what i wouldve imagined but i love it
Aurorus bod
Great!
Are you still gonna look for a replacement spriter
I mean, gotta admit that's close
🥹
the request got 2 other people working on one while saying things like "i can't believe this didn't get done"...after i started my WIP xD so you kind of have a bunch of sprites to choose from. I hope you enjoy it, I'm not the best at scratch custom sprites but i wanted to cook up something special for my santee
yeah
I posed it weird which didn't work with my idea for the drill arm but I liked the pose
trust me every request will still get done
I remember that guy that made mine wasnt very suggsestion and help friendly
what'd you make?
@smoky fable Didn't actually get a good look at the fusion yet, kept avoiding it. Even though I commented on your post about the deadline.
i hadn't seen that one yet! I don't think Dhelmise even crossed my mind when i was thinking of 'magnet stuff' but it works quite well!
Santee 
Scrapdragon has a lot of magnet power stuffs going on
it's New Year's Christmas/Secular Winter Holiday
Also thanks! It’s a cute lil guy 
Altaria/Froslass lmao
show the cloud queen
i can give it a shot but i can't guarantee it'll look amazing, sadly. i don't know the ref
He's still thriving! (I actually just havent touched the savefile since ss started
, thank you for doing my sprite! I love the remoraid alts too!)
I'd love to help but I don't really do reference sprites, sorry.
They all started coming right after secret spriter began 
If you're willing to, my most recent sprite has the same ref so you can take inspiration from it
guys guys guys I'm gonna make a second request

I know nothing about evangelion other than "giant robot" and "screaming geometry" /hj
bruxish body, any head. make it looooong 🤔
we should have like a "sprite challenge" every week
Gwa
there's no contest but you get one Mon or one descriptor or one something and everyone who wants to makes one
I wish more people did reference sprites i am left sorely unsatisfied
There’s sprite royale 👀
it's pokeman we make pokemans
what when where
Bruxish Contest when? Cresselia doesn't need one noone playing the game will see the sprites.
That doesn't stop anyone from including a reference into the pokeman

Spriter lounge
all my ref sprites are for random games I'm interested in that most people wouldn't recognize
(All of my sprites are references even if they don't look like it)
ooh so the person who requested mine is reddevil... I don't know who they are lol XD
yeah but like I'd rather make my own new characters than just adapt the colors and shapes on an existing one
I also do this sometimes
Im not gonna sugarcoat it but I've never been a fan of making ocs
I think I only have two refs and they're for a fnaf fangame made in rpgmaker
and a siilvagunner meme
I like pokemon fusions as exercises in character design
I'm not sure I've made any reference sprites
I keep forgetting about that woodman fusion-
oh wait
I’ve been summoned
This fusion doesn't appear to have a custom sprite! You can search for it in the #sprite-gallery to make sure.
I enjoy the challenge of trying to integrate a reference into a Pokemon Fusion and still make both look coherent
Hi hero i hate this event
I'm still mad that the reference fusion I made looks better than the actual fusion I made for the two mons
(Nobody did my sprite)
they dont even found a replacement 💀
All my sprites are a reference to one of my favorite videogames: ||pokemon||
Lmao
I sprited 4 whole custom unown sprites for a ref sprite sobs
Same pal,,,,
Unless is a reference 
gg
oh god I just looked for my request and it look awesome! thank you so much peegeray :D
I didn't even say it had to be an obvious reference
Just something that looked sort of like the original material
my reference sprites would try to be extremely specific; looking like both the reference while also working as a serviceable fusion of the two (unless it's clearly meant to be alted)
Also its funny that I did gordo's request. not-so secret santa
and i also try to get typings done right as well
This
what'd ya make
qwilfish/genesect
All my sprites are both actual fusions but references at the same time
(Unless i outright state its an alt)
it's why my Eightfold sprite looked not like a 1:1 but the alt does
that's a fucking fish
I don't like refs that are just the refs and aren't the fusions ngl
I try to do both as best I can
what a fish
that face is so funny no matter how many times I see it XD
Exactly
that >:O face
This is what i always do and what i wanna see for my request
Oh that was your request!? I am SO sorry that the image didn’t spoiler I didn’t want to make a second thread because I didn’t know how to properly close the thread because even if you still close it it’s still there and I didn’t want to take up two slots. Really sorry!!!
I love that he has like a parasitic twin cannon
But I don't think people get that
amazing fish
My request was made but I think it wasn’t uploaded to the gallery 
what was it
show everything
I do reference sprites and would do yours Egg but I have not seen Eva and know nothing about it
If it's still not done in like 4 days I may have time to try it
Hi, just wanted to come in and say that I absolutely love what you did with my request
Eh, it's no big deal.
My request was Hydreigon/Gengar
show
no fuckin idea why my person wanted this but it turned out pretty great
My sprite was a really funny fella
I will be looking but if it never shows up ping me so i remember
ayy you're welcome, glad you like it! :D
I forgot that I made my request since it was a pokemon in my nuzlocke
BUT IT DIED IN THE NUZLOCKE SOBS
Are there any other spriters here willing to do a reference sprite 🥹
(That also looks like a fusion)
depends what it is a reference to
That was the sprite I made
Funny fella
Cuz my request still needs a replacement
lost a hugepower toxapex prevo fusion like an absolute bozo
heh, fluffy garbage
That’s unfortunate
why is it vaguely body horror
@spring lynx That sprite turned out rad!
Thanks I loved making it! I’m glad I got it
You really went above and beyond, especially with that little animated extra gift, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it
The replacements were already given out
Nobody left behind

Oh lol

looking at the drive sheet I have no idea what the reference is but it sounds interesting so ig we'll see who replaces your secret spriter
show me EVERYTHING
gooot it
I must see ALL THE SPRITES
Will do, I'm just too busy for the next 4 days to do a sprite atm
average soreile W
ah yeah since it's a secret spriter I thought doing that would be a fun little surprise since I also have a bit of animation mood at that moment :3
sure one sec...
It's literally just this but with a Mawile mouth
Thats my request
oh evangelion I watched that in high school
Urs has a replacement dont worry
alien isolation x palkia XD
Didn't someone make that same reference recently with Bruxish/Palkia?
I should do an evangelion reference sometime
here's what I've made (and a little extra cuz I was feeling in the mood for it)
My sprite still needs a replacement 
Yea
I did
Because nobody did mine
Oh 
.....has anyone done regice porygon yet, I could do the uhhhh laser prism angel
So i did it to make myself feel better
I liked that sprite
Yea I can’t find my request on the gallery, but ik it was made cause I gave feedback on the thread 
lol nice
ah yeah they have, rip
seem like there's 10 request that need replacement? or at least 8 (the other 2 have notes and one of them I don't really get what they mean)
Shoots you
I have set a reminder for the 5th to do yours Egg if no one else has got to it
🥹
Man, I would have picked doing yours as a replacement if the Bruxish fusion didn't already exist lmao
I had a lot of fun making mine! I hope I was able to make it as fluffy as you wanted @fallen scroll
They are mass produced for a reason
so why not make another 
That's a fair point lmao
I’m tired of acting like this is a bad thing!

Autogens are so funny. They’re beautiful, they’re a working example of the monkey typewriter theory, and some of the funniest shit I’ve seen from this game have been autogens I’ve gone out of my way to immortalize. /lh
if I'm ever around next year I wanna do secret spriter again this is fun :)
lmao
i personally don't like most of the autogens. some of them can be nice, but i think a more personal touch by spriters is generally better
I think most people think that way lol
I don't like autogens because it lags up my game when I hover over them in box lol
i know there's a few where i would go "yeah this autogens good enough" but most of the autogens are Horrors with the faces to the point i will sprite to get rid of the really bad ones lmao
Has anyone claimed pedroverdan's replacement, banette/lycanrock midnight? if not, I'm taking it!
Gengars make me sprite them to get rid of the pained states that the autogens are in
fusions look a lot better if the mon look like they're symbiotically merged together where both pokemon's characteristic combine smoothly into 1 pokemon
I don't think that's how the replacement spriter work(?) I think the manager gonna dm random people in the volunteer group which sprite they'll ask to replace
oh ok. In that case I'm on the volunteer list i'll just wait to be reached out to
don't quote me on that tho idk how the volunteering work exactly either this is my first dip into secret spriter XD
waiting for my requestee to insert the image into the square 👀
afk for a time
why is articuno self fusion just have a big beard wtf XD
santa articuno? 
Thanks, I know it wasn’t the easiest fusion to ask for but you did a great job, Im glad we got a cool new Furret fusion now!
It was absolutely fluffy enough
@fading kestrel thanks for the angel!
I don't think it was no
Lemme find it
Found it
As long as it was put in #1050404143807873157 it was marked green, the drive & gallery weren't required
@wary comet That Jirachi/Ursaring looks awesome BTW! I like the scarf/tassels. Thank you 
No problem! Glad you like it!
happy new year guys 
@cedar quest Do you need an extra hand filling in the missing requests?
ayy welcome to the future :D
Also, who are we stoning? 
Ah, so I got the frogman himself’s fusion. I’m honoured. I hope they enjoyed 🙂
anyone notice a pattern with the bruxfish requests? :>
I figured it would all be staff, since they would know that it was being added beforehand

I was still slightly suspicious after I got the request though, especially when I started seeing more pop up in spritework 😂
@violet stratus Love how this little guy turned out thank you!
(Also, @undone ruin you did a fantastic job on that Hera/Sharpedo, I’m so sorry about the horn)
Tysm, I love the lil guy aswell
I JUST SAW I GOT BLAQUAZA’S REQUEST OH MY GOODNESS
I didn’t think i would get a mods request goodness gracious
I hope blaquaza likes mine pfft
I think he does 
I damn near had a heart attack when i was like huh. I wonder whos request i got. Im glad he does
lol
sorry to the guy who requested kingdra/dialga !! I’ll finish it this week its been too busy 😮💨
❓
so i had multiple options in my secret santa because I was really worried that I would accidentally give someone who is more green at spriting this behemoth:
as you can see, holy shit? i didn't want to give someone who wanted a more low-key sprite The Most Complicated Thing Ever™️ so i had different options in there for different sprites
Mucho texto I suppose
could’ve ended a Sprite applicants whole career
yeah, i wanted to have a fun idea and give someone who was wanting a challenge a challenge but i wasn't gearing up to straight-up murder someone lmao
i think one of my other options was something like tyranitar/cyndaquil
(or its inverse, i really wasn't being too picky)
#1189799732856504370 message btwww this is so cool and it turned out way cooler than I thought it would thank u !!
unless that was unrelated to my request lol
it’s still a cool Sprite tho even if it isn’t :3333
maybe it was because Pix got yours, and they're definitly not a greenhorn 
I accidentally got my requested sprite spoiled LMAO
Thank you blaq it looks very cool I love it so much ✨
#sprite-gallery message @prime spruce This is fantastic! Blew my expectations out of the water, I love it 😄
i think the one i made turned out cute :)
Sandshrew looks like its gonna cry
it's an interesting theory, but i have no idea if that's how this worked. Maybe GamR mentioned that there was some form of staff sorting somewhere?
There was multiple yes, but once it was condensed, we edited it on the main sheet
Omg Paranatural 
Also ty to whoever requested the sprite I made bc I used it as the icon for the new bot 
i'm so happy people are hyped by the paranatural sprite! The webcomic is really nice and I plan to make many more spirits in the future (i say more here because i already made one lol)
@grand karma i hope you liked the sprite 
It looked fantastic, I swear, I was so happy when I saw it ahaha ☺️☺️
I really loved this one 
Thanks!
||Not only cause it’s my base
||
I feel like I could have made it more awesome though
I'm not sure what I should have done though
Tbh both are of my favorite mons, and o love the idea
Thanks
So for me is perfect 
@fallen light bro, that was a kinda weird request lmao
Did you like what I did with it at least ?
Woah. @runic ruin, what are the odds you'd get my request 
Lycanroc Nation for the win

hate to ruin your fun but gamr picked out some recipients himself
themself? I'm not sure on the pronouns
Oh excellent we can thank our ss fillers now!
@sturdy mulch I had a lot of fun doing your request! and it got me back into spriting a bit more haha
@elder venture thank you so much for the amazing scolipede self fusion!! You absolutely knocked it out of the park, I was so happy to see the long bug turn up in sprite requests! I'm going to have to use it during a run at some point, it's wonderful 🐛
Contest results when 
it's not random 
They lied to us 
I cant find my requester
try command/control f
Ive gone through the list like 5 times i swear its not there
Wait I just realized.
@inland widget I didn't realize your post in my spritework thread was a bit, I thought you were the original requester LMAO
@timid urchin I hope you liked the sprite lmfaooooooooo thank you for making me suffer with a klinklang requesting this it was super fun to make
just did ctrl+f and search for the_p
lmao
there's seem to be a few username with the_ so gotta add the p in
I'm not on my computer so i couldn't use the command
that's fair enough lol
skill issue
Pffttt. Im glad it got someone
I'm glad you like it! It was a good request. The thing that bothers me about bug pokemon (aside from being generally very weak) is a lack of legs. Finally I get to add all the legs heh.
It's a very nice sprite, I like it quiet a lot :D
yeah in hindsight, but it’s two of my favourite mons so 🤷♂️. I did really like what you did with it tho!!
@cedar quest if someone offers to do your request will it be updated in the docs
@wide palm I love the Glalie/Regigigas sprite! You absolutely nailed it!
all of the sprite made for the event isn't in pokemon fusion ( or in fusion dex )?
they're all viablle for the game :>
oh, so there isn't in this month folder, it is just that ?
mouth folder
Ooh, thank you so much, it was a hard work
But i love it too 
i tried 3 times to read what you said but I still couldn't understand it
sorry
also, im drunk, so is a bit more difficult for me :>
now that i can actually see what i requested:
-it is very cool
team sober here
All sprites from December will be in a pack at the end of January 🙂
ooohhh, that was the pack form november, I am dumb
@tepid gyro you did an awesome job on klefki/empoleon, I know it was weird 
oh thanks, its definitely not one id have picked out to do myself haha. was fun to figure out though, might have to do the other two in the evo line
Yoooo this is SICK! @uncut shadow
@outer valve how could you
@pastel hollow https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1189223625539190855 I hope you like yours 😉
Is there going to be a bruxish/cresselia contest btw? 
thank you! 😊 im glad you liked it
I finally got to face who cursed me with Dhelmise/Kyurem 
Oh no worries! Im glad i got your request,it was a fun fusion to work on
(But yea that horn got redone a lot lmao
)
Also congrats on whoever did my request cuz. I cant remember it 
You nailed the bracket fungi. I also love what you did with the tail!
thanks, it was actually pretty challenging to turn the fins on the head into polypores without it looking weird but i think i pulled it pff at the end
The shading is on point too, especially that back mushroom
@frigid summit
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1183467334216724480
Hope you like my sprite! It has grimer too!
@slender thunder thank you for the mudkip/aurorus! Sorry it took a while to thank you for it. It looks so pretty too 
Thanks <3
it was so much fun :3
I'm glad I can finally talk about how cool it was to get the Frog man as the person to do my secret spriter 
And it turned out great!
I'm glad you like it!
Well, guess I just won't get my secret spriter :(
You will get it
Eventually
you just have to do it yourself 
I am already booked
And it’s a pretty hard 1
Hey @urban tulip I loved your suggestion, it was a unique challenge 😄 Hope I did right by it lol
it's BEAUTIFUL 👀
@gentle junco I hope you enjoy your Jirachi/Goodra! I had to teach myself space effects just to make it more pretty 😄
I forgor what i requested 
Now you know 
@summer nebula I hope you liked the lanturn/registeel...I wanted to suggest a fun sprite so I hope it was fun
@cobalt scroll thanks for the delibird/quagisre...it was really fun 🙂
Thank you so much! looks awesome! 😄 love the light beaming out of the entrance :)
@spark saddle hope you like the celebi/aurorus request 
@signal reef Thank you so much for the nidoqueen/venusaur! I really loved seeing the thorny bramble and the flower. Super clever take on the design
Wrong one
oh ._.
Happy that you liked it ! Was clearly inspired by @brazen pawn Nidoking/Venusaur which looks amazing
@broken trail thanks for the delibird/quagsire. I really liked doing it :>
They can be best friends :>
@distant robin I LOVE YOUR SPRITE, LOOKS SICK!!!!
@limpid sphinx I hope you liked the sunflora/cradily, I thought the sprite was really fun to work on!
I LOVED
REALLY
i was so happy when i saw the result
Oh awesome! I'm so happy you did! 
i was worried about request a hard fusion for the odds to fall into a spriter that is not that much experient or something like that, but at same time with a good potential if the one who get it could make it works as a banger too! so i found that combo and you really kill it!, it was a real banger, i love everything about that sprite!
👀👀👀
OHMYGOD SHES BEAUTIFUL AHHHHH
@olive echo OMG I love your Registeel/Umbreon?!? It's perfect!
#event-general message
#event-general message
I've danced around telling you how much I enjoyed them lmao. Thank you so much! And the Grimer prevo was an exceptionally pleasant bonus!
Sorry for the kinda weird request xD
#event-general message
We could have lived in this timeline.

That's so nice of you to say!
I'm really happy I did a good job. Definitely a great creative sprite to work on
So glad you like it 😊 I spent SO long trying to think of something interesting to do with their designs 😅 but it was better because of it! happy holidays!
Yes! It is fantastic 😄
Ngl I immediately regretted signing up when I saw that the request I got was for two legendaries 😂
But it ended up being fun to make 
Well I'm glad you had fun with it! I had been waiting for mine to pop up and when I saw you made it I kinda had a little "omg" moment lol it was fantastic!
thanks! :D
the frill thingies were really fun to make
Ahahahah it was my second sprite ever (and the first one I spent more than 15 minutes on
). I hope you like it! 
Absolutely loved it.

hell yeah I'm glad!
Shout out to @open folio for making my bruxish/stunfisk request. It turned out great!
yea
I’m glad you enjoyed it, it was actually pretty fun to make 😁
In the end, three people made my request, which was Reshiram/Umbreon. (One of the people who made it wasn't even making it for secret spriter, but I'll take it
)
So shout-out to @hearty vector, @versed ridge, and @stiff viper for my lovely trio of white umbreons 
I'm the luckiest kid on Christmas 
You're welcome! It was a really interesting challenge, especially since I got to choose my own pokemon for it. Glad you liked it!
@potent canopy Thank you for the chonky boxer!
holy crap @hazy field thank you so much for your Krookodile/Noivern! their design is sooo fun omg i love them
AND THE BIG OL SUNGLASSESSSS YESSSS AHAHA
Hhhh I am so glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun with the Cool Dudeasaurus ;w;7
I really love it, Idk why, but it remember me some levels of sonic the hedgehog

sorry @near horizon , you`r right i should go to hell for this request. Anyways, thanks for it.
Lol I felt so silly having made a reshiram/umbreon fusion before I saw that it was someone's secret spriter request😂 I'm happy you liked mine, and to @hearty vector and @versed ridge you guys did great on your fusions!
It looks awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed my suggestion, was worried it would be a headache lol - your sprite kinda makes me want to finish the evo line if that's cool
Dude go for it! I think there’s a lot of fun potential there.
what'd you make
it's literally so metapod
also love the origin palkia vibes
thanks! I was super happy with how it turned out
you just need 1 more sprite to become a spriter officially, frog 
At the rate I'm going it's probably still gonna take a few more years 

it's okay we trust in you
all the secret sprites were amazing, congrats to everyone
dang. i guessed wrong. i thought it would be the charizard/tyruntium
It's amazing, thank you!
Im so sorry lmao
I had to watch the world burn
for shame 
@raw hill GAH, thank you! Its so cute. I wanted to leave the request like open ended but i was really hoping itd be a cute. I love it.
Oh that ping
banana moon team lets go
@cloud solstice great work on the typhlosion/aurorus!!! ty for the alt too :)
Ngl I don't expect us to get done lol but it shall be fun!
Thank you!! I'm glad you like it ^^
I'm glad you loved it, specially since I hadn't done any sprite for several month!
It was quite challenging to come up with a interesting design and I'm happy with the result
@flat coyote saw the finished dhelmise/heracross sprite, loved it
i saw your thread before but genuinely didn't realize it was for me because i forgot heracross was fighting lmao
still liked how it turned out, real nice
imagine giving cresellia for lunar new year and not yet another dragon for year of the dragon
The year is still young
I'm confused was I supposed to dm someone
I don't remember seeing anything about it til now
rush but no contest 
@crude cedar bro was in post the whole time https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1183917363268161648
@young karma thank you so much for the noibat/articuno fusion! It's really cute :3
I love the face and wings especially ^^
thank you! when i saw you were a contest winner i was a little worried, im glad i did you justice!
@crude cedar yo hopefully my sprite looked enough like mariah carey bro 🙏
I hope my secret sprite was good enough for my requester
Oh and @wicked perch no sleigh but you still did an EXCELLENT job on the sprite, I mightve asked a little too much on the request. The antlers and everything else looked GREAT. Thanks a lot bro
Thanks! Really glad you were happy with it
Honestly for the hair Id like to thank @bright crow, their guide on how to make the hair look right was EXTREMELY helpful
Literally couldnt have done it without them
glad you liked it! :DDD
i was worried cos there was no way a sleigh was gonna fit on the same canvas as a noivern
@severe epoch I love your mawile! The shading on the cloud is so fluffy and good
is croissant the one who left?
Ofc 
Why did you think I give so many ideas
Thanks!! I was so worried since it was my first Mawile, I'm very happy you liked it 
@lucid shuttle ty for the flareon/altaria! I love the fluff and the face you designed, and i think it turned out really cute :>
Ayyy, glad ya like it!
Am I supposed to dm the person who made my request?
Admittedly, I forgot what i requested
Ohhh oke
I can't find my person lol
Dunno Laobug’s @ but they did a great job with Lycanroc/Feraligatr!
@odd garnet thank you for the sprite!
@tranquil fable Thanks for making my boi Alteisen for the Secret Spriter, glad you took up the inspiration lol
@misty acorn thanks for doing my Zweilous
You weren't very active atm so I appreciate it a lot 
what did you make
I'm curious to see what is possibly your first non-roserade
Forretress/Articuno
AHAHAHAHAHA ooooh you don't know
cute :)
forretress is so weird
especially to sprite with
one of the least used pokemon for heads
Understandable
gamr really threw you a curveball
I'm curious what you mean by this
Already made multiple Non Roserades
oh u made the gear 5 one lmao
im rlly conflicted on how i sprite rn
bc recently i've made multiple sprites with outline shading, but now i've realised that tons of other people make great looking sprites without the use of it, so idk what to do
like using the outline colour as an extra layer of shading
like here
so idk whether i want to keep going on using it or not and try to learn normal shading as well as everyone else
Thats-
thats completely normal what?
Where did you see people not do that
wait its normal?
I do that a lot too lol
There is literally a rule to not use only black outlines
oh yeah i know that
it's a good way to save colors in your color palette as well
You do a good job doing what you're doing. If it works it works lol
thanks, thought it was more of a rare thing for some reason ig
it's prob rare for newer spriter
honestly if you told me this back when I first started spriting I would've had my mind blown on how efficient it is
How in the world...
Are these Cresselia's hands?
looks like
gear 5 luffy is my fav ref alt fusion
THANKS XD
Where is the cresselia challenge channel?
Thank you
I don't know very much about cresselia, and now I'm having a crisis wondering if those purple arcs on the side are the arms 
But if you know it's required, and that all sprites have to have it - how could it also be rare 😛
You can have dedicated outline colors
In fact, a lot of the official sprites like doing it
You're welcome, it was a fun combo!
Oh! I see where I misinterpreted, fair enough.
Yeah, I can see that there may be spriters that don't think to do that. Sprites do semi frequently use the darkest shadow as the outline for highlight sections but it's something that people likely overlook on occasion.
However, if a palette doesn't normally use the outline colour in its shading, it can result in an over shaded look (sometimes,) so you have to be careful with it ^^
usually for pre-unova pokemon I reference battle revolution's expressive animations to see what movements they've got, and in cresselia's case it doesn't even move its hands at all, but the arcs are very clearly represented as only a translucent light effect
I'm so glad! It'd look so weird if it just used them like arms 😅
I do wonder what it could look like if someone tried to do a fusion under that assumption tbh
Like a wiggly, adventure-time, noodle arm, probably 😛
a good example of using the outline color as extra shade is mope7 sprites, im a big fan.
and i think that the misinterpration happened cuz people usually referee as "outline shading" the difference between colored and black outlines lol
No problem!
no cresselia contest? 
As it should
you should hold the event yourself and then give yourself 1st place 
It’s almost as fun as single player tik tak toe
I WON 
congrats all other participants this was truly one of the most enjoyable contests i had i n a while
we made friends?
Cringe next lol
It’s a team rush instead
#1191810978518675606 How's it looking?
should it have the finger strips on hand dealies
tail too uniform in thickness
body somehow not thick enough
hands not corporeal emough
enough*
head (just the head, not the moon crown thing) wrong shape
upturned too early with no visible mouth
I'm so happy I just made a lil guy for the cresselia rush and for a start it's great
it still blows my mind that those are hands
wait the lil thingy are hands
apparently so
mind blown
how am i supposed to make them look more corporeal
add fingers and shade it like on the official art
and black outlines at the bottom with very slight cast shadows
Right now, the hands look like the light is coming from the right, because the middle stripe bleeding into there looks like rim highlighting
Add an oval of highlight on the left side of the hand and include the lines between the fingers, and that should take care of it
those are hands??
yeah, it's holding them in sort of a praying gesture
Her little mittens 😌
@tranquil fable not sure if you saw the sprite made for you, but I hope you liked it!
There's a sprite made for me? WHERE
. . .
Hold up
I now understand why I didn't find the sprite earlier
I apparently may have mistyped 344.288 as 344.266
Essentially instead of Palkia/Gallade I got Palkia/Tangrowth
Huh
Guess I'll have to make Palkia/Gallade myself then
Not what I had in mind but it looks good!
I'm pretty sure I wrote Palkia/Gallade though, weird that that didn't do anything
they might've flipped a coin on which one you want and got tangrowth
or maybe they named their file as 344.266 and forgot which is 266 so when they used a bot to look it up they got tangrowth
or who knows, maybe they trolling you on purpose with the wrong dex number 
F
I still don't know if the contest is a community vote or staff vote
same uou
Me too 👉👈
Same 
Maybe we should reach out to our recipient 🤔
Possibly a good idea 
OH HEY YOU MADE THE ELECTRODE/NINJASK RIGHT
YEAH 
yeah i loved it, i've just been busy around the holidays so i haven't had a chance to show my appreciation up-front, sorry about that
you cooked
Oh no worries, I should have figured 
And aaa ty, glad you liked it
!!
You have a good new years!
I tracked down the post of the person who made mine - I tried looking for who mine was for but couldn't find it on the chart
Hiiiiii @lucid shuttle
Oh ye! I saw it, I love it! My apologies, I said something earlier I just didn’t know your @.
Np!!
Their @ is a bit hard to find because the capital i looks like a lower cased L lmao
Speaking of
@shrewd garnet Sorry your request slipped through, I did yours as a replacement I hope it looks alright!
nah its ok i think it looks neat :3
excited for the SS Contest 
I still don't have my request
claimed a few cresselia fusions hehe
I'll be starting on your replacement in the next 2 days, don't you worry
🥹
I'm going with community voting this time. It just works better with Secret Spriter specifically
When does it start (is it just when u feel like it? lol)
Probably Friday
ok
I don't wanna come home from work and then do more work, that will 1000% burn me out 
makes sense lol take youre time (for as long as they allow you to take youre time lol)
thanks for that XD
cute message
Have a good what, GamR?? 
A good 
a good 👋
If y'all got any questions n' such on literally anythin' feel free to ask 
When will my request be made

^

The gwuh gwuh
If the SS contest will be a community vote, will it work like Little Cup voting with multiple stages of voting?
I hope my sprite does well
why are you a gamr
I have been robbed of contest success for far too long now !
Ah! Good question.
GOD NO
The reason we do the bracketed voting for LC & other sponsoreds is to eliminate as much ""luck"" as possible, be it eliminating your own sprite, extremely one-sided matches, whatever ill-lucked manner comes your way.
For something like Secret Spriter, we can just do our simple 3 day method
Prelims, Semis, Finals
Honestly....IDK, it was just kinda one of those names that gained meaning after.
Fun fact: My original name n' stuff was Froglegs 
Froglegs, Frogman, are there any other frogs I should know about?
Still salty I got eliminated round 1 cuz of my matchup
There are ways to do matchups that don't kick people out early for going against really skilled opponents, but boy do they take forever
Thanks for all your hard work this year GamR 
and as for LC... well, we understand 
I can't wait for the new contests this year 
I never got to do a real themed one and they're SO creative with a fun challenge!
same im excited
Redux I'm curious cause idk what that means?
Oh I know what the word means, moreso what a Redux contest would entail x)
I wanna do a themed contest, that sounds so fun
Ah I see neat!
Was I supposed to dm someone for secret spriter? This is my first time doing it, and I got dm-ed by the requester of the sprite I made. Should I dm the person who made my request?
You definitely don't have to. I certainly didn't. But you can if that's something you want to do
Ok thanks, I'll probably just go to the sprite work post to say thank you. It's not posted yet anyway
Smh get back to work, your name isn't grey you are on the clock 
HAVE A GOOD WHAT GAMR? I NEED TO KNOW!
have a good gamr. for dinner.
I wonder if the Meloetta (and Lycanroc too... but let's face it, they didn't even make top 3... or 5 lol) music-themed contest counted?
Although the music theme condition was optional, i would assume if it hadn't been, it would've been counted?
I think so, yeah 
technically, in the music themed pokémons you have meloetta, lapras, jigglypuff, probably the birds (because most birds sings), altaria, probably noivern, maybe lycarnock midnight for the "rock/metal" style
so we can totally have one day a contest "music theme"
:0 eepy crab
idk if it's too broad but I think performer themed would be cooler so that you could also involve stuff like dancing, acrobatics, mime, one of those sand art, blindfolded archery, etc
oh magic trick too
so, basically, a circus ?
I was thinking more of a fusion-got-talent but yeah pretty much XD
Circus!! 
nottomention mentioned???????? 🍎
The ultimate reference to NTM
I'd love that! A true musical theme contest!
A good 
Correct!
If only we had some specific gen 8 mons 
I kinda forgot about secret spriter sadly
that could either be a mild shame, or very bad for you depending on what you mean 😛
what exactly did you forget
to do your secret sprite or that it was happening?
I imagine the latter otherwise they would have been getting DMs about it. Unless...?
The latter, I woulda remembered them on the list 
How many people got red in the end?

Alexa, that's so sad, play amazing grace

Was there anyone who made a sprite but didn’t want to contest?
I didn't enter the contest
Honestly surprised it wasn’t more
Don't think my request is going to get done 😅 I might do it myself
What is it?
It was fletchinder/ursaring
I was under the impression that doing SS meant we had to enter the contest
nah, that was just a bonus :3
pretty sure that's told but I could be wrong, let me check
Give it a try!
ok so I check and it doesn't directly say you don't need to post in drive, it just say that "You as the Spriter simply complete the request, and will complete the request" and that posting it in spritework counts as finishing the request already
Correct
complete the request and will complete the request?
did you got confused
or i dont know english
I'm quoting that word for word from gamr so don't ask me 
LMAO
I think the first part meant completely making the sprite and the second part means you complete request... ok you know what I'm just not gonna try to explain it my brain starting to hurt as well XD
That's me being dumb 
XD
gamr theme contest when
Meant to say "complete the phase"
ah, that makes a lot more sense lol
i understanded that as gamr being mandatory first time that i read it 
like, “AND YOU WILL COMPLETE IT, cuz if you dont… ☠️”

My sprite was in sprite work i just kinda forgot about secret spriter because of irl stuff and some of my projects
time's ticking 
damn
Oh community vote 🗳️
💀
Probably around...6-8pm EST 
It is my days off I am absolutely going to sleep in

what is going on?
oh
Still fairly new myself, was gonna ask if it's just a straightforward matter of voting for your favourite sprite.
Pretty much, vote for 1 per sheet
is there a doc where we can vote?
It's in #contest-polls
Should I be looking for a theme or anything?
Got it. Cheers!! 

bro ill be honest its turning out pretty cursed lol
ywp
*yep
Although, I do get to bring up something that hasn't needed mentioning in a while 
Man these scolipede fusions r going mad hard if i do say so myself 👀
vote the ones that you can clearly see the fusion is what i go for
We haven’t had a community for a good while
Voted!
love how the poll bot pms me a full 2 minutes later saying my vote was recorded
Please guys go vote for-
can i vote myself 
I mean....yes
please vote for at least one sprite
But that's lame 
Oh hey guys beatiful weather ey
i'm going outside
don't forget to vote for me
||I totally entered the contest guys keep searching||
Me and my 27 alts rushing to vote for Cabine
i voted for only 1 on most
oops!
When youre sprite gets put up against the best sprites
for the record I think everyone who participated did well
hey guys you should totally vote for all of the sprites.
/j
mood
So many great sprites
Anonymous Poll
Is not anonymous
they will become anon later
Man I didn’t even consider voting for my own sprite, I know it’s out round 1 lol
its a glich
not that i want/deserve to win i just wanted to see if anyone would vote for it 💀
oh was there already some voting
mustve missed it
got too silly
It’s up rn
yes
same lol
i think they all are
i dont see mine
not that i want/deserve to win i just wanted to see if anyone would vote for it 💀
keep looking it should be there
Did you submit it to the contest drive?
Damn
i wasnt gonna win anyway idrc
just mute it 🧠
some of these are really fire
defninitly not biased on a single one of them
completly objective thoughts
wait do we only vote for 1 pokemon or do we vote for one on every image?
(I'm still new to this kind of events)
(I was thinking the same)
Blame the bot 
vote on every image
1 per image
trueee!!!!!
I didn't, which means I can't lose, auto win baby
thank you
Aye neat!
omg genius
guys that was intentional
I'm not here to win at all lmao
me neither i just wanted to know i wasnt the worst spriter to ever live if one person voted for it
its still up for debate tho
im just gonna assume it wouldve been a sweep and i wouldve gotten every vote
clearly
If your person you gifted loved it, then I say that's a win!
i agree
The polls yeah
it takes a second before they dm you back
I will give you a reason you aren't the worst spriter:
-I'm also a spriter
based!
what about the someone who is definitely real who has only ever placed 1 pixel
Question are these not the same or?
....oops
One of them is fancy :3
this is like superman masking his hero identity with a pair of glasses
its not a contest if there isnt a mistake 
Exactly 
So, I finished voting and... wow I wish I'll grow to be able to draw like you, guys.
damn that influenced my vote, I'm gonna vote for it
I take it we shouldn’t vote for ourselves?
Not doing it just makes you slightly less cringe
Kant's theory, ig
Nah just the last one
ok
Infinite fusion goes until gen 6?
7
I think it's Spriters only
thats bs but ok
It's prob bc only spriters could participate to the secret Spriter event
but before the last ping i voted? i don't know at this point
I voted
wait so transparency is now legal? there are two sprites in the contest that have them
I think intentional transparency is legal?
Like as long as it looks right against any background and not overdone it’s fine (???)
i dont know why i felt so shocked seeing mine up there lol even though i know i was in the drive lmao
the feeling of having never been in a contest before
Spriter applicant could participate iirc so they can prob vote too
I really hope I win this contest
I am really happy with my designe its one of my best ever made
Some very good sprites this time around, idk how far I'm going to get honestly
Not true
it's in #contest-polls, but due to Discord's weird channel changes, not all people have it in their channel lists
^
Be nice to the bot, it's working very hard
@cedar quest why isn't my sprite in the polls? 😔
Did you put it in the Google drive
ye
wait i should censor what i voted for
Ye lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it's there silly 
the bot scares me

praying mine at least passes prelims but i feel like the competition in my bracket was tough 🙏
@cedar quest so we’re voting on who gets booted??
Pretty much?
Wait no
I'm misunderstanding what you're saying
Vote on what you want to win, 1 per image
I voted for my favorites from each one, even though it was a tough choice because I love all of them
