When has that stopped us?

If only there was a new EM to do an announcement, oh well

[misty acorn]

POTW > BOTW

[uncut shadow]

What does the p stand for

[limpid sphinx]

just saying: would be fun a comparison between the quantity of the sprites for the mon of the week before and after the weeks

[steady pasture]

Potassium

[elder marlin]

Potassium of the Wild

[uncut shadow]

Now normally i would agree but i feel like comparing which sprites are better and which ones are worse can be a bit offensive (i won't see it as a problem tho, i love genuine criticism )

[cyan gull]

I swear, #event-announcements has the same energy as watching the news broadcast in Splatoon

[tall moss]

i think datorre just meant like, amount of sprites-wise

[uncut shadow]

Ohhh

[tall moss]

lets soo how many vileplumes there are this week

[uncut shadow]

I read "quantity" as "quality"

Whoops

Cons of reading too fast

[limpid sphinx]

[cyan gull]

Quantity of reading vs quality of reading

[limpid sphinx]

lmao

[slow gyro]

Yes

I tried making it work with less colors but looked weird

I think those petals were meant to only work like that

[uncut shadow]

Ok its time to let fate choose my vileplume fusion

[cyan gull]

Hi, I'm fate, Beedrill?

[cedar quest]

We would not have it any other way

[uncut shadow]

I got celebi

[cyan gull]

Thank you Frye from Splatoon 3

[cedar quest]

Are you implying I got a massive forehead

[cyan gull]

We know how much forehead is under that sleeping cap

https://tenor.com/view/impressive-gif-25230908

[cedar quest]

what ever could u mean

[cyan gull]

The forehead that will pierce the heavens

[gleaming sand]

HOLY SHIT
IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING GURREN LAGANN REFERENCE???????????

[cedar quest]

If you're asking me: No I don't know what that is

uh... should we repost to sprite-gallery now that the bot is working again or... ?

[bright crow]

double check the sprite in the threads, if anything is wrong repost, otherwise just close

[lavish cipher]

Where do I find the sprites people are posting for the contest :>

[cloud solstice]

in the drive link here #event-announcements message

[crude cedar]

i would call the file something.something.byssunday.png right

how do i put the sprite in the drive lmao

dont see a button or anythin

[frigid summit]

Drag and drop

Im wondering what place I get
I mean im 99% sure to not be first

[tulip tusk]

concept for this guy

[sly shuttle]

You won a contest before you got the spriter role

[silk fable]

Is that wrong?

[sinful pendant]

No, its impressive lol

[cloud pulsar]

i think it should go in the thread

[limpid sphinx]

i mean u won a contest with your first or second pokemon sprite, right? that is crazy

[silk fable]

Oh, i thought i had done something bad xD It was my first pokemon sprite, yes

[limpid sphinx]

u dont want to keep spriting here? i noticed that u never messaged here again, i would love to see what u could cook with more pokemon sprite experience

[silk fable]

I enjoyed spriting a lot but i dont really have the time. I had a few sketches for Charizard/Roserade evo line but i never got to them

[limpid sphinx]

ohhh get it, that sucks, but well, i hope that i can see u spriting here in the future then ^^

[silk fable]

Thank you ❤️ i might get back to it after all

[molten crater]

what you mean by "double check the sprite in the threads", what threads? (sorry for being dumb)

[broken robin]

Like in your spritework thread

you could call the bot there

[molten crater]

🤔 again not sure I understood it. If I call the bot there as an answer to my post, and it displays the old autogen sprite, then I should repost it ?

[broken robin]

no its just to see if theres any issues with half pixels or colors

the bot wont even display autogens for the new mons anyway

[bright crow]

autogens are mostly to just make sure u did the right mon numbers anyway

[molten crater]

ok, so my original sprite was ok, and I won't know if the bot caught it because it was off, but I should close the thread without confirming anyway

[limpid sphinx]

basicamente, se você tem alguma duvida se o sprite que você postou anteriormente está ok ou não, volta na sua thread que você fez pra ele no spritework, marca o bot novamente e verifica, caso o bot fique maluco, você conserta e reposta, caso o bot diga que está tudo ok, sem problemas

qual foi o sprite em especifico? se quiser eu te ajudo a verificar

[stiff viper]

POLLS ARE CLOSED AAAAH

Congrats to all the finalists!

[crude cedar]

Lost the finals royaly

[edgy apex]

Is there a contest manager online???

[void sluice]

congrats to everyone, you all did an amazing work, all those sprites are amazing

[limpid sphinx]

F results announcement

[edgy apex]

I can't figure out the "arcane mechanics" of submitting my entries 🤣

[cloud pulsar]

omg im so slow

@limpid sphinx congratz i didnt realize

[limpid sphinx]

loooool tysmmm <333

[sly shuttle]

I didn’t vote for Ferrothorn/Tyrantrum because of how busy the design is, but it does accomplish the request for a laser dinosaur

[lofty skiff]

I did vote for it
Cause it's sick

[limpid sphinx]

well, i received a request that already existed 2 sprites for that same fusion, so i needed to do anything that i could to try a different way of the already existent ones

[lofty skiff]

I liked the contest but I feel it could've been a bit dependant on what challenge you were given to start 🤔

[limpid sphinx]

tysm!!! i tried my best, tbh i almost didnt finished it in time if the deadline was not delayed i would never participate on the contest lol

[lofty skiff]

Like I'm not saying the great ones were only gear cause of the given fusion - that's still being a great spriter as part of it, but I wonder if there were other amazing options we didn't get to see cause the people with them got a less interesting request

[limpid sphinx]

i struggled a lot with the design, trying to escape from the previous one and hitting a different way while my december was a crazy month ☠️ but im really happy with the result

[frigid summit]

Congratulations!

[crude cedar]

Btw Congrats to the other 7 contestants that got so far

[rapid knot]

How did the tyrantrum get the translucent effect on the glow? I thought transparency wasn't allowed in pokemon sprites

[limpid sphinx]

#event-general message

[rapid knot]

I've never seen a game freak sprite with transparency, so I thought it wasn't allowed

Is it only true for contests, or can sprites be submitted to the gallery that way?

[limpid sphinx]

yes it can be on gallery with transparency sfx XD

u can see another sprite with transparency effect on that finals too btw

#sprite-gallery message

[stiff viper]

You did an amazing job! Love the glowing tummy on the trex

[stiff viper]

Thank you!

Also, I cannot get over the melloetta/propopass as a stage. It's such a cool fusion

[limpid sphinx]

i really like that one too ngl

tbh all the sprites that hit the semis are like S-tier, really amazingly done

secret spriter was a really good event

[limpid sphinx]

thankssss <33 i love what u did with my request too!!! its like one of my fav sprites in-game so far

[stiff viper]

I'm really happy people liked my sunflower so much. It was such a great request to get. Definitely a sprite I'm very proud of

[livid stratus]

spriter general is usless as always, so ima ask here

im getting back into spriting, and im having the issue where piskel ads a bunch of slightly different shades when I import of copy in an image

and i dont remember the fic

fix

[crude cedar]

Before the Event I was really proud of my Dhelrus😂

[livid stratus]

do yall know how to prevent it?

[crude cedar]

Turn off smooth resize

[livid stratus]

not seeing a smooth resize option?

nvm

got it

did not help unfortunately

[crude cedar]

What do you try to import?

[livid stratus]

these two

[crude cedar]

Wait it asks you if you want to resize?

Weird since normaly Piskel is already on a 96.96 canvas

[livid stratus]

yeah idk whats happening

[crude cedar]

Check if your default Piskel size is right

[livid stratus]

it is

ive tried pasting an image and uploading a file

both give me this crap

its not working even with ones ive had no issues with before

like kabuto

its even breaking my fricking local saves

that had a normal color count when i last worked on them

and if i undo

it ads even more colors

like if i import two images

then undo

the first one has more colors

by like 2x

wtf

ugh, i just wanted to sit down and do a chill spriting stream to get back into it, but im not gonna learn a new spriting software

[crude cedar]

Idk how to help or what you changed that this happens

[livid stratus]

yeah

i know

just fcking frustrated

cause its done this before, but there was always smthn that worked

it was usually an issue i think with smooth resize if i was getting a sprite from here to draw on for feedback

literally creating a new layer ads more colors in the previous layer

thanks for trying to help zero

it has to be some sort of hardware issue, because the only difference between then and now is that I am using a different computer

[autumn epoch]

Just want to say this Pokémon of the Week thing is super sick, great job

[worthy shuttle]

yuh

[thin dove]

hmm...not sure i'm entirely feeling the random raffles. maybe they'll grow on me

but i need to get jumping on *a lot * of Personal Things™️ before i feel comfortable with that random raffle. hmm

[lusty pewter]

it sounds fun so I'm up for it, might even give me ideas for more meloetta fusions and a perfect excuse to work on sprite that haven't been made in the sprite sheet yet

I even have an idea for it already, problem is tho idk if it should be meloetta/vileplume or vileplume/meloetta

[limpid sphinx]

i mean, its not a exclusive thing to u so u can do others things

i feel like the idea is cool and that can helps with filling the fusions for some random mons that deserves more love

[cloud pulsar]

sylveon gets picked:

hmm

so when does the results get announced

@cedar quest ?

[tulip tusk]

if sylveon gets picked, the contest should be about making pride flag alt sprites for all the fusions that don't have them

[cloud pulsar]

impossible all of them are pride flags references
||or atleast most of them tried||

[tulip tusk]

the sylveon thread has a list of all of the ones with solid, recognizable pride flag designs/alts for reference

[cloud pulsar]

they do?!

[tulip tusk]

yee

[cloud pulsar]

thats very neat

[acoustic saddle]

what other mon has white pink and blue in its pallet : v

[tulip tusk]

?

[acoustic saddle]

mime jr?

[cloud pulsar]

the pride flags references are usually body not head

[acoustic saddle]

u mean slyeon body, or head? (since i see them mostly from head)

i want to find alternative for it too,

[tulip tusk]

sylveon as body has other pride flags usually, not just the trans flag but as head it's 99% trans flag designs

[cedar quest]

when I feel like it

[cloud pulsar]

lazy event managers

[acoustic saddle]

:0 oh, i thought we are talking about the trans pride flag specificity

[acoustic saddle]

add trolley emote so we can use it too

[tulip tusk]

na, any pride flag

[cedar quest]

it's almost one in the morning

[acoustic saddle]

eepy

[cedar quest]

I ain't doing volunteer work at 1 in the morning

I'll play games instead

[acoustic saddle]

hows palworld

[cedar quest]

we gotta make it a fusion

[cedar quest]

Fun.

[acoustic saddle]

"we"?

[cloud pulsar]

just make other even manager do i- oh wait

[acoustic saddle]

< this isnt a fusion thou

[cedar quest]

"We" 🤯

[cloud pulsar]

what even is this

why is he here

[acoustic saddle]

rando reference

[acoustic saddle]

palworld is what IF should be , so many fusions

[tulip tusk]

tbh palworld has such uninspired redesigns

like it looks fun but the designs are so.... ough

[acoustic saddle]

maybe they asked chat GPT to give them pokemon-like design

[tulip tusk]

THAT'S WHAT THEYF UCKING LOOK LIKE

THEY LOOK LIKE AI GENERATED POKEMON DESIGNS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO SOLID DESIGN BASIS

[acoustic saddle]

or they just look at Daena for reference

[versed ridge]

Im willing to overlook the weaker designs because the gameplay is based

[acoustic saddle]

..based on Ark survival

[versed ridge]

Thats why its fun

[lusty pewter]

palworld = pokemon but with gun long distant persuasion device

[limpid sphinx]

[limpid sphinx]

palworld = pal world

[broken robin]

poll world?

[acoustic saddle]

gamr world

[dense jackal]

Not to spoil the joke, but palworld has been showing off designs long before AI had it's moment (I think)

[lusty pewter]

whoa, palworld got future tech then to be able to get ai gen ideas before ai gen is even a thing 😮

[buoyant ore]

I mean the whole concept behind it is pokemon with guns. I feel like the novelty of it was known to the devs so they felt they didn't need to spend a whole lot of time or money on the designs to sell the game (they were right )

It's in early access though so maybe if enough people complain they'll update the designs

[acoustic saddle]

then what if they just ask GPT for more design

[crude cedar]

They really look AI generated XD

[elder venture]

I had to Google this Palworld. Pokemon Gun is real 😭

Gee most of these designs are waaaay too similar to pokemon. They're gonna get sued up the ass.

[dawn arch]

nah only some, for example some others are similar to totoro instead

👍

but the "Bellodrago" or sm like that, is literally Meganium/Goodra it's so funny

[acoustic saddle]

they r distinct enough to not get nintento ninja, but their desgin is just utter boring and uncreative , since we we can already do their job here lol, pokemon fusion

[elder venture]

chicken xatu

[crude cedar]

Are the Junkyard event sprites allowed to count in other events too?

bro saw the future

[stiff viper]

Aw, thanks! I'm really happy so many people liked it

[thin dove]

i'm just happy i somehow got votes for my sprite other than my own

i don't know who did it, but i'm just really happy it was ok

lol we got palworld discussion in here

[stiff viper]

Your parasect aurorus is super cool

[void sluice]

@limpid sphinx you can use that meme again now

[thick harness]

Yeah congrats to all the winners! All the sprites were so cool, felt like any of them could've won

[elder venture]

Yellow and green is an unexpected addition to the community vote meta. Remember that one folks!

Congrats to the winners! I liked this contest and I'm glad future contests aren't going to be just one pokemon, because it was a little bland. Like this is a lot more interesting quite the diversity of entires.

[cedar quest]

Actually...there's been a very different weird pattern I've noticed this time with the votes, something that's uhhhh

Not good

[loud shell]

tyrantrum?

[cedar quest]

Being close to the middle of a sheet in terms of the poll

Were more likely to move on.

[elder venture]

Oh crap, I had wondered about that early on but I can't really tell how skewed it is. That is a bit of an issue if it is significant 😬

[cloud pulsar]

it- its just a coincidence right?

right?

it cant be that dumb

[elder venture]

No, the idea I had doesn't work unless you want people to vote on EVERY entry hahah.

I dunno how you could avoid that.

[elder venture]

If people are looking at the sheet for a few seconds before locking in their opinion, it's not unlikely that it may have an influence.

[crude cedar]

Did you request the Dhelrus?

[stiff viper]

Really? Has that been replicated across more than one series of poll brackets? Or is it just this one?

[crude cedar]

Would have been cool if my first win or atleast winner stairs candidat was that

[cloud pulsar]

[stiff viper]

I'm a psych grad so statistics intrigue me. I'm curious what the correlation would be there

[robust breach]

statistics is math

hell nah

[crude cedar]

Does he mean many mons in the middle got votes?

[dawn prairie]

Yeah that was mine
Idea i never got around to doing

[stiff viper]

Its a weird paradox of being bad at math but liking the meaning behind stats

[crude cedar]

Hope I see it on a Playthrough of yours

[robust breach]

so the winner of these events gets their sprite as the icon?

[stiff viper]

Yep. Contest winners get their sprite as the icon. If you are curious, the contest gallery channel shows the previous winners

[crude cedar]

I wish one of my sprites would be the icon once

Ngl I feel like I dont have a chance at all cuz that is in my opinion my best sprite ever
I thought it had all

[elder venture]

Your entry made it to the finals, you do have it all man! People also agree, it's brilliant.

You have good chances for another contest. You have creativity and technical ability on your side.

[cedar quest]

If it were just this one I wouldn't of said anything

[slender thunder]

oof, the sprite that won would looks great but it doesn't really work that well as a server pic

[worthy shuttle]

What was the contest for?

[elder venture]

Y'know scrolling back through the brackets, I am not actually seeing the pattern. I don't have the stats on it or anything, but it doesn't seem very significant if there is influence.

[undone forge]

This looks cool as hell

[dull crater]

Can anyone explain why ferrothorn/tyrantrum is covered in electricity? It's a high quality sprite, but that makes no sense for the fusion in game terms.

Perhaps it was part of the secret request.

[rotund gate]

that's what I was kinda thinking. I think it has self destruct so maybe it was something like that?

[dull crater]

Looks like it's charging up a zap cannon

[molten crater]

don't worry bro, the one thing I learned in this server is that the better sprites never win, for whatever reason. Opinion is very subjective.

[dull crater]

That was my #2 after meloetta/probopass, fwiw.

[rotund gate]

I missed the voting sadly but I would have voted for the reshiram/umbreon. I just thought it looked really clean and I loved the way they drew the fire

[limpid sphinx]

1- Requester wanted a mecha dino
2- already exists 2 others ferrothorn/tyrantrum, so i feel like i should do mine in a completely different way from these others
3- design inspired by mecha godzilla & horizon zero dawn creatures
4- ferrothorn can learn electric moves on gen 8 by TR
5- yellow already exists on the ferrothorn palette, would fit well without have to add a extra color
6- just cuz i wanted to
7- yes its charging the cannon

[dull crater]

I feel #2, I also got a 'a perfectly good normal fusion already exists' request and also decided to get weird with it.

[sly shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/proton-scream-godzilla-mechagodzilla-gv-k-atomic-breath-gif-21084843

[limpid sphinx]

i mean, what is better for u? 👀 what is better for someone can not be better for another person

[dull crater]

Forgot about ferrothorn's yellow eyes...

[limpid sphinx]

i had to try to be a bit like “out of the box” with mine

the others fusion that already exists are so good too

i had to struggle a lot to think about a different way that could looks good yet and escape from the same things used on the others designs

so hard

[lofty skiff]

Why not?

[dull crater]

Shank that much it doesn't read well anymore. No helping it though.

[hollow gull]

in a way, I win too

[dull crater]

Where you the requester?

[rotund gate]

I think it looks great as the server pic. I understand why you chose the electricity now and I do think it looks really cool. I didn't know ferrothorn could learn electric moves that's interesting

[hollow gull]

yup :)

[limpid sphinx]

gen 8 added a lot of crazy stuff to buff pokemon in a competitive way XD

[dull crater]

It can learn Thunder, Thunderbolt, and Thunder Wave (including in PIF.) Though for the first two, its sp Atk is total garbage. Wave is always nice, tho.

[limpid sphinx]

i mean, basically yes XD

[dull crater]

Also Tyrantrum can get Thunder Fang as an egg move, and with strong jaw is the fusion's best actual electric move if you wanted to do it for real.

[crude cedar]

Yeah sadly when your creativity isnt Kaiju cool Monster or idk why but lately Probopass your chances shrink

[elder venture]

It's not always the case, but yes big dynamic things with a fair bit of detail do seem to do well. I suppose if it's you want to play the game or do what you think is cool.

[slender thunder]

so much happening

and it being so small makes it hard to see

[cloud pulsar]

ah yes the probopass meta

[elder venture]

Probopass meta only works if you're Meru.

Make your own meta :v

[cloud pulsar]

merum is the definition that you dont need kaiju or sfx to win a contest

[grand tusk]

I can't believe the person who is really good at spriting wins sprite contests

curse this "be good at spriting" meta

[cloud pulsar]

so unfair fr fr

[livid tulip]

I was pinged to check this take so I'll reply:
When your creativity exploits the potential of a Pokémon that doesn't tend to be popular, it's sometimes (not always) rewarded. And I think that's what should be valued more and I'm glad that was the case this time too, even if this time it wasn't one of my fusions.
There's no such thing as a Probopass meta, but heck, I'm glad that this kind of fusions helps to show that a non-popular Pokémon is not as bad as the Pokémon community tries to make people believe.

[dull crater]

On the topic of mecha dinos, how has there not been a mugendramon/machinedramon reference with tyrantrum body yet? Either registeal or klingklang could work for the head...

[cloud solstice]

the true meta is the friends we made along the way
and Meru

[livid tulip]

I lost against lots of sprites that in my honest opinion as spriter that tends to keep the Pokémon style as faithful as possible shouldn't be as high as they got, but the problem here is that an unpopular Pokémon had a good streak for once. Just lmao

[grand tusk]

Ban merum from probopass for contests so others get a chance

[cloud pulsar]

the meru meta

[livid tulip]

I banned myself after winning once and after that kind of comments lmao

[grand tusk]

Win with bruxish probopass for me then you can be unbanned

[wary canopy]

the only real thing id worry about for 'meta' is very dark sprites being at a disadvantage due to most ppl being on discord dark/the img bg going dark when clicking on a pic to imagine it in discord so sprites that use a lot of black (necroz, zekrom without much lightning) fade into the background which could hurt their chances but that also affects very lttle pokemon anyhow

[livid tulip]

This could be freaking funny ngl

And troublesome

But funny anyways

[grand tusk]

oh did we go back to letting the foolish plebs of the world vote for contests?

[cloud pulsar]

happens

[grand tusk]

if you won with that, literally nobody is allowed to complain about a meta anymore

[dull crater]

I just like the mini-melo

[cloud solstice]

good question, is there a lot of people with the light mode?
IG a way to counteract the background issue would be to put a grey background

[cloud pulsar]

i think junkyard is also community voted

[livid tulip]

I don't really think that's the problem. I just think that people just like sprites that can leave you blind from the number of colors that have been used

So dark sprites aren't basically walking/floating rainbows, resulting on less votes

[wary canopy]

also true! i just noticed some necrozma sprites that got like.. super tanked in votes, and they do show up barely visible in my discord unless i open it on browser so that definitely wouldnt help 😭

but yes bright is definitely more eyecatching, thats always the case

[grand tusk]

the solution is simple, dark colors contest

now everyone loses

[dull crater]

Oh, what was this mecrozma fused with?

[cloud solstice]

machamp

[dull crater]

Well that explains the extra hands. but not anything else.

[cloud pulsar]

i dont see it

[runic ruin]

It was a reference sprite lmao

[dull crater]

Ah, that explains it.

[stiff viper]

Damn. Maybe the solution is smaller bracket sizes?? Though that's rather inefficient. This could be a simple situation that happens often in survery/polls where there is a natural tendency towards people picking the middle of the poll and there's no way to avoid that statistical bias

[cloud solstice]

put all the sprites in the same bracket, and pick the 1rst place as winner

[stiff viper]

Oh God

I cannot handle how impure that is for the results lol

[crude cedar]

I do the 12 colors challange on the Junkyeard Event

[cloud solstice]

good luck 🫡

[crude cedar]

#1198328359420178472 if you want to take a look here

[lavish cipher]

Oh yay my favorites won :)

[versed ridge]

Got 4th place basically

I'm getting there

[cyan gull]

#1198421175395684362 what are we thinking?

[acoustic saddle]

u got the key role

[steady pasture]

Hmm, there's already a Mugendramon sprite with Magnezone/Groudon

[dull crater]

Huh, so there is. Though that one is still very 'magnezone head' despite the obvious mugendramon shape.

[sly shuttle]

Does anyone have an idea for an orange object that could work as a Trubbish/Deoxys head?

Otherwise, I’ll just do another trash bag

[steady pasture]

Since you're using those cones, what about those flashing alert light things... but orange instead of red

[sly shuttle]

I’ve actually used one these in a fusion before, so this should work well

[steady pasture]

Use the round shape version, those are typically found in Junkyards/Factories/Warehouses as warnings for activities in progress/etc

[lost lintel]

because that's just grimlock and we need him in the game too 😛

[lunar comet]

when voting starts, will sprites that made the 12-color limit be differentiated in any way?

like a little star or something?

[acoustic saddle]

maybe thats just side request for disadvantage ( since its player vote?)

[thick harness]

I imagine there'll just be another spotlight pick for that challenge

[dense jackal]

Basketball 😛

[acoustic saddle]

i forgor that we didnt has any spot light for ss ; 🙏 @cedar quest (it should be frogman sprite )

[limpid sphinx]

we didnt has any spotlight for rock n roll too

rip spotlights

[acoustic saddle]

cus gamr said that contest was just filler :^) ( we did have a spotight comment from Blaq anyway)

[limpid sphinx]

plot twist: all the contest are just filler

[crude cedar]

He is going to fucking die

[limpid sphinx]

bro is in love

[thick jolt]

im gonna assume

triplw fusions arent allowed

for contests

[shrewd garnet]

missed opportunity to pun about the raffle pokemon being a rafflesia

[lusty pewter]

Hey guys, I need some opinion. considering the design, would you say this is meloetta/vileplume or vileplume/meloetta?

oh wait there's a thread for this whoops

[acoustic saddle]

vesusaur

i think u dont want too much leaves

[shrewd garnet]

depends on the color scheme you wanna go with

[lusty pewter]

fair, I was going fur lush alraune design guess that's too much of a venu thing

[lusty pewter]

that's the thing, idk what color scheme to use cuz I'm not really sure which combination it should be

[shrewd garnet]

color it in with meloettas white black and green, then again with vileplumes blue pink and orange, see which one you like better, and go with it?

[limpid sphinx]

tbh in the style that ppl make fusions here it dont fit that much with any option cuz looks like the both bodies are here at the same time

tho if u remove vileplume face it can looks more like a vileplume/meloetta imo

[lusty pewter]

ok that works then

the face was kinda just a cheeky idea I put in cuz I saw a reference pic where it has a bottom mouth, thought it was cool design wise so I add it in

maybe making it an alt would be fine

[odd garnet]

:)

DANGIT NINJA WIZARD!

LOL

[lusty pewter]

bruh it's basically the same design lol XD

they're just more goopy then you

[odd garnet]

Good
Low effort sprite wins event

LET'S GOOOO

Kidding

Why would I taint my sprite portfolio with this? I didn't even change anythi-

oh wait...

[lusty pewter]

[near horizon]

don't look at my chansey/diglett x)

[odd garnet]

Well now I wanna see it

[near horizon]

it's a NoQA so i should still finish it one day

[near horizon]

#sprite-gallery message

[odd garnet]

YOU DIDN'T EVEN SUBMIT IT!

LOL

[near horizon]

i hum ...

i worked on another sprite, and another, and an other one, etc ...

so it was waiting

and the NoQA took it

[odd garnet]

NoQA took my terminal montage sprites that I didn't submit due to not having his permsission to add in IF

Well I asked

Just didn't get an answer

[near horizon]

Also, xeno, can i summon you on my second #1050404143807873157 for the junkyard contest, i want to have your opinion ;)

[odd garnet]

Where?

[random girder]

rat

[near horizon]

i have my two entries for the junkyard

[olive sentinel]

so you are telling me I can win?

gime 12minutes I have to make a sprite rq

[crisp cargo]

neither tbh

it reads as an alt

even sans the face it just reads as a meloetta sitting atop a vileplume/rafflesia

[bright crow]

i agree with spriter, there's a whole meloetta sitting on top of a vileplume

[slender thunder]

Is there a vileplume body?

I just see meloetta

[bright crow]

shes sitting on it, its face is there

[edgy apex]

I can't summit my event pics ;.;

[thin dove]

wait, how many sprites can you submit for the junkyard contest?

is it 1, 2 or 3?

[thin dove]

ahh, i see. ty!

[thin dove]

the sprites don't have to be new (as in there isn't a sprite made for the fusion yet), right?

[broken robin]

they don’t have to be new

[cedar quest]

correct.

[thin dove]

hey uhhh this is an extremely weird question but i don't know where else to ask it (it's kinda relevant for a sprite i might submit for this?)
how do you find what the games code a move as?

[limpid sphinx]

one question: the "No Excessive Special Effects" rule work on the same or in a similar way of the one on Family Fuse contest?

[thin dove]

like if a move such as Ember wasn't a TM or anything, how would you find what the game calls the move in its files?

[bright crow]

giving a cursory glance through the games code, there isn't a particular call code for the moves. they just have their names and are listed under "AttacksRS.dat"

so ember is just ember

[thin dove]

oh, so they're just called [movename]RS.dat ?

[dull crater]

No they are all in that single file

[bright crow]

no, its just the move name. theyre all within the same file.

[thin dove]

ohhh, i see

hmm..i don't think that can necessarily fit in the canvas i need it to be in but I thank you graciously for giving me the info!

[limpid sphinx]

@plucky arch @cedar quest ?

[plucky arch]

if you have to ask if the sfx is excessive it prolly is

thats p much the vibe

[limpid sphinx]

XD ok i think that i get it

[sly shuttle]

Is this too much sfx?

[slow gyro]

No

[sick herald]

nah looks good

[subtle moss]

Not enough.

[random girder]

https://tenor.com/bDR3P.gif

[limpid sphinx]

where are the sfx? i cant see it

[torpid bough]

At least its not Gardevoir

[acoustic saddle]

dont put me as example smh my head

also for truth , it was an alt due to too much sfx

[tulip tusk]

I wanna see somebody find the true limit of how much sfx can be added to a sprite

[acoustic saddle]

96x96 full sfx

[cloud pulsar]

giratina/jirachi moment

[sly shuttle]

Break the rules. 288x288 full sfx

[tulip tusk]

this looks like what your character ends up looking like at the end of a really good tboi run

[cloud pulsar]

the comments on the thread were so funny

[uncut shadow]

Which thread?

[cloud pulsar]

of the giratina/jirachi

(the first one)

[torpid bough]

NOT YET?!

[worthy turtle]

Are sprites allowed to contain references to drunkenness and alcohol?

I was thinking of making a drunkard in the dump for the contest

You know the type

Would that be allowed, or is that not PC enough

[random girder]

probably not allowed unless you do heavy censoring

[worthy turtle]

I know what to do

Scratch the other idea

Banette/golett

Old, discarded robot toy

[dawn arch]

couldn't be more true

[acoustic saddle]

BUZZ YOU ARE A TOY

[worthy turtle]

#1198945525744029706

I could use advice

[odd garnet]

I should stop making Roserade entries for contests....

They always look a bit rushed since I have limited time to come up with a design

LOL

[sick herald]

nah i like the toilet paper hair

[lyric swallow]

Guys I need idea for the tongue of garbodor/lickilicky

[shrewd garnet]

Toilet paper

[tulip tusk]

toxic sludge? a melted popsicle?

toilet paper actually would go hard tbh

[lyric swallow]

Hmm

Good ideas

[lusty pewter]

one of those plastic roll in the super market fruits and veggies isle

late suggestion but if it can gives more ideas that's good enough for me

[cyan gull]

Trash compactor

Or garbage can

[shrewd garnet]

Wonde how much vileplumes completion percentage will skyrocket after this event

[wispy grove]

one day left to the junkyard jumble

[sly shuttle]

I realized I could use this for my second entry

[sly shuttle]

@empty thunder you need to add your username to Trubbish/Kyogre in the drive

[empty thunder]

Thanks for telling me! I didn't even notice

[hazy chasm]

i was gonna do a lot more but life got in the way so i just got this

[placid briar]

me submiting my two sprites and then reading the rules lmao

can't find them in the junkyard but they used the trashmons so hopefully LMAO

[rigid bobcat]

I'm curious to see the stats on how many vileplume sprites we get just from the potw event

[lofty skiff]

I can't seem to add anything into the drive

For junkyard contest

Like previously there was a big plus button but no more

[sly shuttle]

I could add it for you

Or just show us a picture of what the drive looks like for you

[placid briar]

you could drag and drop into the folder

[hollow gull]

Damn.

Guess I'll just do the next contest

[hollow gull]

p sure they allowed any pokemon

[placid briar]

the Junkyard Jumble?

[little cypress]

This is very similar stylistically to the Meloetta/Probopass fusion by Kiwi that place in the contest. I think make the Vileplume body a prop would solve the problem and allow it to qualify in the same format: Meloetta/Vileplume

[hollow gull]

yea

[hollow gull]

I really don't find it that similar

[placid briar]

yeah but the theme is making it as if you can find it in the junkyard

which... i didn't do like at all

[little cypress]

The head mon standing on top of the body mon?

[hollow gull]

many sprites have one pokemon atop another or both pokemon in the fusion

[little cypress]

It’s the same exact concept but with two different Pokémon

[hollow gull]

but in execution it will be very different

like

VERY different

she's not even singing, not a pop-star meloetta

[little cypress]

The concept can be the same and the results different

That doesn’t mean the concept isn’t similar: one standing on top of the other as a pedestal

[plucky arch]

id say Vileplume/Meloetta, due to the meloetta body having flowers on it, just make sure to make it Vileplume colours

[hollow gull]

@tall moss thoughts?

[hollow gull]

the vileplume looks more like a bed, and she's sitting

[little cypress]

If the garden theme is the goal, then yeah as long as the Vileplume face is on Meloetta, this would work

[plucky arch]

the fusion displays more meloetta body and vileplume features, vs kiwi's which had more probopass body with meloetta features

[tall moss]

nobody owns ideas

[hollow gull]

that too

but like... plagiarism is a thing

Do you guys think I could feasibly do a good event sprite in the next 24 hours

I have the idea up in my brain

just have to start

[plucky arch]

still far less then Palworld

[little cypress]

It’s even possible to utilize plants that LOOK like musical symbols, those exist too

[hollow gull]

Muk is so damn hard to shade though, especially if I'm gonna make it look good and stay under the 12 color limit

I may give up on the 12 color limit

[lofty skiff]

Oh thanks that worked

[hollow gull]

actually Kiwi while you're here I have a question

can I DM it

slipper orchid

I wish someone would study the results of these contests to see what makes a sprite win

peer into the mind of the IF community

[broken robin]

Large

(to be fair, larger sprites do usually require more technical skill, broadly speaking)

[cloud pulsar]

"what makes a sprite win" is usually a good spriter

[mortal void]

hard disagree on this one, I feel like large sprites give you so much more room to work with that it's easier doing something detailed but small is far trickier, but it might also just be personal preferences in the end. I do think large sprites grab more attention though

[broken robin]

small sprites can't really be very detailed

thats kind of why I think they are usually easier to make but unlikely to win

[mortal void]

hey I spent ages making little striped pants on a tiny klink/aipom, small guys can be detailed I resent that

I do concede that large sprites might require more skill if you take time into account though since there is literally more sprite to work on haha (seriously though I'm not arguing, I just think it's an interesting point of thought/debate)

[placid briar]

i think my most popular sprite was my Raikou/Aurorus one, and that was very detailed

it was also one of the larger sprites I worked on

though size doesn't account for much if you can't do the original premise well, which is why i think my Wailord/Salamence flopped lmao

[placid briar]

yee, gotta love shortcuts

[cursive brook]

Depends how detailed u need to be for the fusion however pokemon tend to not have many small details

[mortal void]

yeah, I think this is why when fusions add a load of detail people find them impressive maybe more so than it just being a size thing, large ones just have more room for that to happen I guess?

it's an interesting thing to theorize about anyways

[cursive brook]

Adding detail also takes lots of time

Ofc smaller sprites don’t have as much space

[placid briar]

details on small sprites tend to blend in

zoomed in you can see what the details is like but when you zoom it out, and enlarge it it sort of meshes together unless you clearly define it... and with the small canvas you could be missing those outlines

[mortal void]

yeah it's tricky work with to be sure, this is why I was saying doing small detailed work is perhaps harder than big stuff...well, it is for me anyways, it's an easy thing to mess up like you say

[rigid bobcat]

for POTW, I'm working with a friend who is drawing concept art and then I'm going to draw the sprite, would we both win if ours gets picked or just me?

[wispy grove]

Small works are not less detailed, what they are is difficult, they leave the artist with the job of figuring out how to get all the details in with as little pixels as they can, and sometimes it's just not possible so details end up lost

You want to give the tiny fusion fangs? That's imo not possible in under 5 pixels per fang and 5 pixels can sometimes be bigger than the fusion's eyes

It's easier to keep all the details and make an impressive fusion when it's big

[lusty pewter]

Yeah, most people said vileplume/meloetta so that's what I went with (sry for late reply I was asleep)

[dull mortar]

love to make a tiny guy love to work at a small size

you can give them fangs they're just one pixel now, you kinda just have to prioritize and puzzle out how to make it work with what you got, since the impact of a single pixel is much greater at that size

[acoustic saddle]

only 24h left,,, how

[lusty pewter]

math

[trail axle]

I wonder how far my entries will go if there's a public vote for the junkyard contest

[lusty pewter]

ngl I don't feel confident on mine, but I feel submitting smth is better than nothing. worse case scenario I won't win and can just try again at another time

[trail axle]

I was pretty confident in mine but I see a ton of amazing entries lol

[lusty pewter]

that's what makes me not confident in mine XD

I think one of my entry is pretty decent but compared to the rest it's kinda bland

[cloud pulsar]

i spent so much time on my entry that i couldnt make another sprite for the contest

[trail axle]

It looks really good though

I should share one of my scrapped ideas for the contest when I get home

[sly shuttle]

@subtle moss your forgot your name on Garbodor/Sharpedo in the drive

[steady pasture]

Me everytime i submit for a contest

[lusty pewter]

XD

you'll get there eventually

[trail axle]

Also regretting doing the 12 color limit challenge a bit for one of my entries because people like more detailed sprites and those typically use a few more colors lol

[hollow gull]

EVENT MANAGERS

[trail axle]

???

[hollow gull]

how many swords can I stick in a pile of sludge before it breaks the contest guidelines

?

[trail axle]

Lol

[lusty pewter]

unless it's spewing blood or pus it's fine (afaik)

[hollow gull]

no I mean like

okay Doublade is part of the fusion

so would putting a mace in the sludge be unrelated to the fusion?

[lusty pewter]

you should've seen nottomention's trubish/machop line, 12 colors with a lot of detail

[lusty pewter]

ah, hm... I think it's fine as long as the doublade is the center of all the weapons put in... whatever sludge you're sticking it to. as in doublade being the most prominent and center focused weapon while the rest is extras

[hollow gull]

I'll do what I can I suppose

[pastel slate]

saw the ~24 hour ping, what time tomorrow does the event close?

[wicked perch]

(this is PST)

[pastel slate]

ah 7pm my time gotcha, ty

at earliest I get home at 5:30 tomorrow oh no lol

[wicked perch]

gotta sprite fast

[pastel slate]

ikr

[acoustic saddle]

u monster

[worthy turtle]

Why can't I add something to the drive from my phone

[thin dove]

ah, i have no idea which of my few fusions i was able to make this week should be submitted to the contest ;_;

[acoustic saddle]

show em

[thin dove]

right here, you mean? that won't mess with voting or anything, yeah?

[trail axle]

i almost forgot to show one of my "scrapped" contest ideas but here garbodor/articuno idea

[thin dove]

that's some cool stuff though

[trail axle]

yeah but i felt like it was more pollution theme than junkyard theme? idk

[lusty pewter]

well I mean the image literally says stuff like dump/garbage/landfill and the such

so that def count imo

or at least it's closer to the theme than mine

my sprite is a bit of a stretch but I think it's smth (hopefully) easily understood

[acoustic saddle]

i think its fine

as long as ur sprite is trash theme

[acoustic saddle]

so this is member vote again

[torpid bough]

This is my first Contest Entry so... help

[torpid bough]

Please

KAJAJAJA

[acoustic saddle]

where thread

[subtle moss]

Oopsy

[timid ruin]

Samee

And it's my second sprite

[random girder]

got my upload done

[timid ruin]

Me as well

[stiff viper]

Oh that's cool! Hope it goes well! What fusion did you end up making if you don't mind me asking?

[timid ruin]

It was trubbish and sandygast!! Wbu

I remember seeing your name in the files

[timid ruin]

Omg you make oricorio fusions?

[stiff viper]

Oh nice! That sounds cute

Sandygast is such a fun mon to fuse with stuff

[timid ruin]

Definitely

[stiff viper]

Yep! I don't have a lot right now but I'm trying to get to 50

[stiff viper]

I made a weird mimikyu/kyurem. Kinda pushed myself out of my comfort zone

[timid ruin]

This may seem out of the blue but wanna do a collab? I used an oricorio machamp fusion in my first playthrough of the game which just got over

[timid ruin]

That's nice, I also experienced different shapes colors and shades as it was my second fusion

[stiff viper]

Oh cool! I'm open to the idea sure! I've never worked with someone on a sprite before but I'd be down to try it

[stiff viper]

Nice, that's good to hear

[timid ruin]

Yess! Tysm

[random girder]

oh that one was epic

[stiff viper]

Oh thanks! It's a weird little prop demon. I don't think it would look nearly as cool without the help I got

[timid urchin]

After looking through the drive I gotta say that people really have been creative with this contest, it's gonna be a great competition

[cloud solstice]

the klinklang ones goes hard
it's going to be thought competition

[tulip tusk]

mine was a semi-shitpost I worked too hard on, I just hope people find it funny

[cloud solstice]

yours the ninetales rigth?
I love this one

[cyan gull]

True

I'm excited, it's my first time using transparency

[timid urchin]

I'm really happy that a good amount of people tried Klinklang too

[cyan gull]

Klinklang

[random girder]

let the games begin

[timid urchin]

Klinklang

[random girder]

in the end

only the most epic will remain

https://tenor.com/bCbVQ.gif

[cyan gull]

I usually get got in these, since I prefer simpler sprites and designs

[random girder]

my little bois wont go that far but i believe in them

[cyan gull]

I'm hopeful for my glass sword and garbage bat

[timid urchin]

I just hope that my rat boi and my abomination make it through the first round of voting

[cyan gull]

Is it player voted again?

[timid urchin]

I assume

[cloud solstice]

there's over 100 sprites already

[cyan gull]

There go my chances

[cloud solstice]

I hope it's staff voted, but they said nothing about it

[cyan gull]

I just hope I don't lose to SFX accompanied by a Pokémon

[cyan gull]

[acoustic saddle]

[cloud pulsar]

(its community voted)

[cloud solstice]

where did they said that?

[cyan gull]

https://tenor.com/view/monsters-inc-sully-fainting-faint-pass-out-gif-18677130

GG NTM, it's been a good run

[acoustic saddle]

so the 12 color challenge was just a hindering?

[timid urchin]

yes

[cyan gull]

I have 31

[acoustic saddle]

i will send in the massive with SFX

[cyan gull]

You have SFX, I have colors

We are not the same

[cloud solstice]

it's kinda wierd if they do an optional color challenge but then it's community vote

[cloud pulsar]

asked myself

[cloud pulsar]

it was a good run guys

[cyan gull]

Just means it's better for me, the enemy of color counting

[acoustic saddle]

also they ban overused SFX

[cyan gull]

Ez W

[acoustic saddle]

AND theme contes

:v but let it be community vote

sus

[acoustic saddle]

[cyan gull]

NTM, one of these contests we should swap sprites just to figure out if it's only design or because of your name backing up your sprite

[timid urchin]

I remember the Themed contest about restored world after apocalypse and some big brain people made zombies because the contest was named revival and those got like huge amount of votes, good times

[acoustic saddle]

bruh

[cloud solstice]

people don't see the names on the sprites

[cyan gull]

shh

My master heist, foiled by the Reshiram gal that sometimes strays from the path of Reshiram

[cloud solstice]

I can't improve my reshies if I don't practice on other mons

[cyan gull]

I think I told you, but I plan on doing Reshiram/Shuckle

[timid urchin]

And then there is me who forgot how to do anything other then gears and mechanical parts

[acoustic saddle]

sociopath

[cloud solstice]

ping me when you do

[timid urchin]

I prefer masochist

[cyan gull]

🫡

[cloud solstice]

klinklang focused

[cyan gull]

Collab contest when?

[acoustic saddle]

(clueless)

[timid urchin]

My brain is running like a clockwork machine but I spilled some stuff in there

[timid urchin]

Imagine a contest where you get forced to Collab with a random other contestant

[cloud solstice]

ngl a collab contest would be great
but everybody would try to sell their soul to the Apple 🍎

[acoustic saddle]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1199392885800439878 plz help with suggest, i want to sleep

[cloud solstice]

collab contest but everybody collab with NTM

[cyan gull]

Secret Spriter lmao

[acoustic saddle]

guess i will die

[cyan gull]

NGL, I got a lame prompt from secret spriter

[acoustic saddle]

if then i will collab with myself

[cloud solstice]

I managed to get to semis somehow during the secret spriter contest, like I was third place in the poll all the time

[cyan gull]

Drowzee/Chandelure, how tf is that supposed to compete with what was up there?

My person dropped a shitty vote and left the server

[acoustic saddle]

🙏 one day i will collab with Frogman

[cloud pulsar]

apple²

[timid urchin]

I had a pretty nice prompt with Aurorus/Trevenant but I didn't have much time so it ended up not looking as good as it could have

[cyan gull]

Where's the SFX on your PFP 🍎 ♂️

[cloud solstice]

shiny apple when

we should add applin just so that NTM can pokefan something else than machoke

[acoustic saddle]

[cyan gull]

You're not Tomate

[cloud solstice]

they are both red fruits

[acoustic saddle]

i dont even like machoke nor applin

[cloud solstice]

why doing pokefan then

[cyan gull]

How funny would it be if I finished all Ditto before Sylveon?

[acoustic saddle]

for funny role

[cloud solstice]

u could have made it with a pokemon you like

[acoustic saddle]

this funnnny

[cyan gull]

Aight, watch me

[trail axle]

there's a role for doing sprites of one pokemon species?

[cloud pulsar]

pokefan!

50 sprites of one mon and you get a tier

[trail axle]

ooo nice

[cyan gull]

324 Ditto to 20 Sylveon

https://tenor.com/view/the-mandalorian-odds-like-those-odds-gif-15541855

[trail axle]

i have like 17 sprites of dialga fusions

[cyan gull]

Open team Ditto and insta get a flag

Who's with me

[cloud pulsar]

it goes pretty high

master poke maniac is the dream

[cyan gull]

I'll get pretty close with the Ditto

[timid urchin]

I'm halfway done with the third batch of Klinklangs

[cloud pulsar]

i am at 130 volcaronas and 45 larvestas

[trail axle]

omg

[brittle nymph]

Just curious, do you have any interest in Klinks or Klangs? Almost every Klink or Klang head on Team Wild's list, you already have a Klinklang version of

[cloud pulsar]

waiting to ask for the pokefan x4

[trail axle]

it goes up to 500

holy

[timid urchin]

I'm mainly focused on Klinklangs for now but once thats done I might do some Klinks and Klangs

[tulip tusk]

yee, thank

[cyan gull]

Fine, I'll just compete with one of the rodents

[quartz locust]

We've done those before, at least three times. 😂

[limpid sphinx]

0 times last year

[cyan gull]

https://tenor.com/view/wwe-handshake-gif-10358416

[cedar quest]

can confirm, I asked Tee earlier today

[limpid sphinx]

i missed community votes a bit ngl its cool see the brackets and how much ppl voted for u, i mean at least for me even if i receive few votes in the polls i can be happy cuz someone thats not myself liked it lol

[cedar quest]

blame the new mons taking up the rest of 2023

[acoustic saddle]

[void sluice]

m-moms?

[vast jay]

Sorry, I won't do it again

[cedar quest]

smh how am I supposed to Melmetal all over the place now

[cedar quest]

autocorrect moment

it’s a loss lose I tell ya

either we gotta make the most boring contests in the world to maximize sprites for new mons

or

we get no Meltan and I put all my effort into non-Meltan contests

[vast jay]

~~shouldn't have complained so much about the new mons ~~

[cedar quest]

oh well

there’s always 2025

[dense jackal]

Bracketed contests only tell you who won though. A judged contest tells you the rankings all the way down

[limpid sphinx]

thats truth

but receive a 0 even if u really deserves is so sad ☠️

[dense jackal]

Oh yeah...I forgot someone gave me a 0 on a good sprite once...

[void sluice]

i think we need more ghost types, Frog

[steady pasture]

Managed to get a 12 colored sprite done on time

[limpid sphinx]

we need fairy

[cloud pulsar]

we need ice

[sly shuttle]

We received zero fairies from the new Pokémon

[limpid sphinx]

while diancie and slurpuff are knocking the door asking for a chance

[thick harness]

Too bad there's no Dragon/Fairy types bad luck for getting a new pokemon guys

[sly shuttle]

Just don’t give us dedenne or the Tapus. Every other available fairy would be great

[thin dove]

I'm slowly working on more Dittos as well

Dittos are just nice little guys to work with honestly

[timid urchin]

Fairy, Ice and Fighting are the least represented types in IF right?

[thin dove]

ngl i wouldn't mind more fighting types

more ice types would also be neat

[timid urchin]

If Abomasnow were added I would probably produce a lot of sprites

[thin dove]

more bears when

i guess we just got a bear technically but having beartic would be nice

[steady pasture]

[west canopy]

I nearly forgot to submit my trubbish sprite lol

[torpid bough]

I cant find anyone to send my sprite

[dull mortar]

[cedar quest]

I can do it

Just name to file correctly and DM it to me

[torpid bough]

Do I pass you the sprite with the correct name and number?

Ok

[cedar quest]

yeah, name it as you would as if you were putting it into the google drive

[lunar comet]

if the + button isn't showing up try dragging and dropping, it worked for me

[placid briar]

you can drag and drop your image from your folder into the drive

[wispy grove]

[versed ridge]

The ntm sprite in question

[void sluice]

my sprite in question

https://media.tenor.com/VbEpDaoaGZMAAAAM/saul-goodman-better-call-saul.gif

[limpid sphinx]

if ntm sprite isnt excessive sfx idk what would be lol

my favorites so far are garbodor/wailord by hero, garbodor/genesect by seaslux, klinklang/volcarona by kherx, mimikyu/reshiram by chroma and raticate/galvantula by gasmask

just submited mines ^^ not confident cuz i think that ppl cant like garbodor body that much lol, and i think that the ones that i said are like lightyears above mine, but im happy with what i did

good lucky to everyone! that competition is gonna be crazy

a lot of good stuff

[versed ridge]

I couldn't think of any references for this contest so I'm sitting this one out

[sick herald]

i rlly like both of sadfrog's sprites

and the hydraulic press one be Soreile

[thin dove]

hooray! I updated my little guy minutes before the deadline

i'm not sure if anyone's going to like mine over other stuff, but i'm just glad i was able to use this contest to make a guy i've been planning to make for a long time now

[pastel slate]

toto is yours a paranatural reference

because if so well played

[acoustic saddle]

if they disqualify my sprotes for sfx then its all right

[limpid sphinx]

u could do a less overdesigned version 😦

i mean i love it anyways

[acoustic saddle]

i could redesign the celebi maybe, not the machop line thou, cus i want to do the trash bin rocket since its announcement

[limpid sphinx]

but for dont have the chance to diqualify :/

[lusty pewter]

I don't think you have too much sfx. overly designed maybe, but I personally don't count it as too much sfx

[acoustic saddle]

not every dream could come true right, at least i can keep trying

[lusty pewter]

keel

[sly shuttle]

You’ll get points back for a 12 color palette

[acoustic saddle]

its mobs vote, i think its like a disadvantage

[lusty pewter]

it's palworld vote, they'll ask palworld supporter to vote on it

[acoustic saddle]

3 million votes

[limpid sphinx]

i mean, its not SFX but its excessive stuff, idk how tee see that this time, but on family fuse the no sfx counted that type of stuff too

[lusty pewter]

ah, I'm not here on family fuse so idk what's happening there

[zinc lion]

i was zooming on this to post it just before the deadline. it's highschool all over again #1199554151441518693

[acoustic saddle]

have u tried the curved shooes

[sly shuttle]

shaking my smh, these event managers missed their own deadline

[cloud pulsar]

truly the event managers of all time

[thin dove]

i have to submit some other versions of my sprite too, it's just the day i get sucked into TTRPG Thrills

....ah shit i could've made Scrapdragon for this too

but i was kinda tired the whole week and also Scrapdragon is a lot

Scrapdragon is unholy levels of complicated

[thin dove]

this gives me massive Humongous Entertainment vibes

a part of me wonders if i could've done scrapdragon in time

the other part of me takes one look at this:

and begs me to see reason

[zinc lion]

could be possible if you use the full 288x288 resolution

[stiff viper]

Reason v scrap dragon

a battle as old as time

[pastel slate]

trying to think of what pokes would even combine into that

rayquaza and magneton maybe?

[thin dove]

yeah, that was the other major problem i was having with Scrapdragon
combining him to be a serpentine magnet powers-using ghost was really hard

i had originally thought Magnezone + Giratina? But Dhelmise works really good too, even though that doesn't give the ghost/steel typing my super perfectionist heart would have adored

in contrast, Flipflop was "find a turtle. Find a pokemon that can do some of the accessories for him. Good job"
and he can learn Rapid Spin like this which is such a bonus

(i don't even know what flipflop could look like type-wise. Ghost/normal?)

my other fella for the contest was a little knick-knack type of guy

[steady pasture]

Day 1 of asking contest results when

[crude cedar]

Btw when does the bot decide the winner of the Vileplume contest

Tomorrow right?

[lusty pewter]

well it says exactly 1 week so prob at the 27th

[crude cedar]

I thought its out longer😂

[cedar quest]

Friday to Friday to Friday to Friday

[cedar quest]

AKA every Friday it gives a new mon and picks a raffle winner for the last

not sure why the first one didn’t reply to what I wanted but the second did

erm LC polls when

((probably later today I hope))

[vague peak]

is there plans to add the rest of gen 7 pokemon cause imagine a solgaleo and lunala fusion

wrong channel lmao

[cedar quest]

lululuululululululululuul I passed out neverMIND

[limpid sphinx]

happens XD

[wispy grove]

I'm so excited for the junkyard jumble it's my first event on here and everyone put so much effort and did so well!!

I keep thinking about oh ok's Ninetails fusion, very fond of it

[tulip tusk]

fcvgbhnju thamk

[limpid sphinx]

when the event was announced i just thinked like "oh damn the garbodor/spiritomb by oh ok could be so good here" XD

[wispy grove]

Creative person sweep ><

[tulip tusk]

I actually don't really like the technical design of the ninetales sprite

but I am proud of the shitpost concept sdftgyhju

[wispy grove]

I feel like you got into small details that are at the end of the day the limits of pixel art

You posed it so well, it's the best that can be with pixel art
And it's the best it can be shaded
And the best it can be shaped

It's not a real trash bin, it can't be any more trash bin in a 96×96

It looks great

And it's insane that you managed to put an entire Ninetails on there when Ninetails takes almost the entire canvas on a base sprite and so does garbodor

[supple epoch]

I wonder what the surprise of the results will be?

[wispy grove]

Maybe they're repurposing an area into a junkyard in the game

[supple epoch]

“Trubbish now has a 50% encounter table when you check the trash. 25% is Stunky and the other is Zigzangoose.”

[wispy grove]

Maybe they're going to change all the trubbish encounters into the submissions

[limpid sphinx]

that would be awesome but i dont think so

it says that it "may" involve an entry so i think that they gonna do something with the entries

or choose one of them for something cool or idk

[supple epoch]

“The new line is hidden in the winner sprite”

[limpid sphinx]

we can be hopeful

[acoustic saddle]

the surprise would be mods vote so they could cherry pick the one that follow the rule/theme, and then community can only vote on those ( tin foil hat on)

[limpid sphinx]

i think that something like that could works on the future

not reallyyyy like that but in a similar way

a mix between staff judges and community votes

that would break at least a bit the "meta"

[acoustic saddle]

the future is here

[steady pasture]

This makes sense tbh. So that only entries that meets their challenge can be voted on

[uncut shadow]

involve an entry= slurpuff

I want slurpuff

I want more edible sprites

[acoustic saddle]

can it say slurs thou

[uncut shadow]

I haven't seen a bad slurpuff sprite yet, and there are alot of them already, all of them are beautiful

[little cypress]

I actually don’t like the edible Pokémon group, I dislike most Fairies because of that and that they look silly but not in an intentional way. The two Fairy pairs from Gen 6 are at the top of that list

[acoustic saddle]

r u dragons

[little cypress]

Do I like Dragons? Not particularly. Some are ok. They’re super overdone for me

Also Apple

[acoustic saddle]

knife

[little cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/applin-pokemon-sword-pokemon-shield-pokemon-pokemon-sword-and-shield-gif-27417147

[uncut shadow]

But have you SEEN the slurpuff sprites yet?

[acoustic saddle]

slurpuff body shape is cursed

[little cypress]

Uh… no?

[uncut shadow]

Well go check them out

[limpid sphinx]

its perfect

[dense jackal]

Love me dragon apples. Appletun is such a funny tank, eating double strength sitrus berries and then recycling to get it back 💚 ❤️

[cloud solstice]

I used to dislike "silly" or object or food designs for Pokémon but I think they are really neat nowadays
Even if they aren't it for me most of the time, there's definitely people who love this kind of design and I just find that neat

[sick herald]

the whole applin line is perfection

[dense jackal]

Yeah, it's a lot more fun to just enjoy things than complain that they're adding ice cream as a Pokémon nowadays. Or going "wooloo is just a sheep, gen 1 would never" when seel plus like 20 other examples are right there 😛

[acoustic saddle]

so when will u make slurpuff/cress as a banana surf icecream?

[cloud solstice]

Na that's goldingo/slurpuff

[acoustic saddle]

i meant this

[cloud solstice]

Banana split
If vanilline line gets in

[acoustic saddle]

i mean cressy is the same'

[cloud solstice]

Apple unable to see the difference between a cake and an ice cream

[mellow wagon]

Makes sense they don't have eyes

[wary canopy]

alright but slurpuff makes for more fun ice cream fusions anyhow still

[sick herald]

i dont get the big rise in slurpuffs

like i understood bruxish bc the entire region of alola is based

[acoustic saddle]

its a dessert

[acoustic saddle]

give me ur eyes 🫴

[cloud solstice]

They're a pumpkin, they don't have any either

[acoustic saddle]

do u have then 🗿

[cloud solstice]

Am ⚪ of course not

[acoustic saddle]

its a sphere, look fine enough to me

[sick herald]

thats like, the back half of an eyeball
