Life event happened and I have now lost almost all motivation to sprite for this contest

#

fucking sucks

#

I wish all of you the best

wooden hazel
#

damn, hope its gonna get better

hollow gull
#

I believe it will, but not fast enough for me to get my sprite in

icy jasper
#

The only experience I remember the most is with getting a random shiny totodile on a version of pokemon gold that couldn't trade on the 3ds

#

Keep in mind that I didn't check if it was shiny and only knew when I got a wild battle against a sentret

cedar quest
#

I should probably get LC polls up, huh? I haven't in a few days, been trying to balance a lot of different polls

unborn dagger
#

How many of the quarters go through? 1, 2 or 3?

cedar quest
#

Quarters: 1st, 2nd and 3rd sprite of each bracket go to Semis.

sly shuttle
#

A few days between polls is still stellar progress relative to the months since LC started

cedar quest
#

Oh ik, but I wanted to have it done by the end of this month

#

That ain't happenin' heehee

#

Probably early March

#

hiya! im kinda new to this server but i wanted to try my hand at spriting for the memories contest that was recently announced, but im kinda stuck on where to go in terms of colors for my sprite. i dont know if i should stick with the normal haunter/honckrow colors or if i can spice it up a bit and go with colors from older gen sprites, any feedback for that? (also if im not in the right channel for this pls let me know 🙏)

primal iron
#

You can use extra colors if you have specific ideas, like I see you wanted to add little cards, those could be a different random color

broken robin
#

Another thing to keep in mind is that the sprite should be roughly the same size as the body (haunter in this case) - easy to make things too large when free-handing

#

I reccomend drawing on top of an existing haunter sprite when starting out just to help with sizing

rotund gate

primal iron
#

ohh, mhh they do have similar body shapes so you can prob make it work either way, I think the lack of feet threw me off haha

karmic vector
#

ahaha no yeah I totally get that! but thank you ill try to keep all that in mind regardless!

dense jackal
#

Got a concept based around my memories of pacifidlog town being just... so cool. Every time i have a minecraft base near water i'm thinking about those floating log walkways.
I just have to wait until sunday before i can sprite it Despair
(glad this contest has so long left)

buddy is just standing there happily, waiting in case he sees any corsolas or sm

I was always making it private so I dont ping by accident lol

steady pasture
#

God damn, the 1st Cresselia bracket is stacked

cloud pulsar
#

i was wondering what was that
but i think i have an idea now

cedar quest
#

I think heehee

#

I don't wanna test that trolley

steady pasture
#

Gamr purposely putting SFX heavy sprites together so he can eliminate a large portion of them
Gamr hates SFX sprites confirmed

cloud pulsar
#

@crisp cargo

#

oh wtf

cedar quest
#

||I mean ur not wrong, but it just randomized that way trolley ||

#

||Although I wouldn't even call those SFX sprites, much more tame than what we had months ago, this is fine||

sharp ice
#

Apologies for the bad screenshot, but there's a bugged poll.

I wonder if bunnelby will be added this year for easter 🤔

rotund gate
#

I hope mine isn't too sfx heavy. I followed suggestions of others lol (I also really like how it looks)

lusty pewter
#

How tf is my sprite still in the contest, I thought it would've dropped out in quarters already :|

steady pasture
#

I like the concept, that's nuff said

sharp ice
#

Working on my second "Going Deeper" entry and I'm like 99% sure I'm gonna end up scrapping the current version of the sprite I have. It just looks way too awkward and weird rn.

tulip jungle
#

I really didn't expect to have something cool for this event, and I wound up feeling pretty good about mine. This was a cool choice for a contest.

wispy grove
#

I finally have a maybe okay idea

#

I've been sick for weeks tho I dunno if I can make anything

lyric hill
#

I'm cooking something for my first entry, might make a second if I feel like it (although my week's been pretty busy so I don't have much time to sprite)

rotund gate
lusty pewter
#

well then, guess everyone's getting their happy little accident

cyan gull
#

I made it to quarters, I was happy

rotund gate
#

This contest really was stacked

cyan gull
#

I uploaded the wrong sprite though for my 2nd entry

rotund gate
#

my second entry didn't do well but I still like it nonetheless

cyan gull
#

I feel my Ditto had a better chance than my Marowak

#

same

#

rubber moon

rotund gate
#

I think my persian may have done better

cyan gull
#

but yeah, this boy was my ticket to success this time

rotund gate
#

it's a clever sprite

cyan creek
#

This is a question about how to get a user hosted EV event started

#

Idk how

cyan gull
rotund gate
#

what's your idea?

cyan gull
#

np

cyan creek
#

@cyan gull knows

#

Remember merge madness

cyan gull
#

it's pretty good, but I think it needs more exposure

cyan creek
#

That one idea

rotund gate
cyan creek
#

It was an idea Pory and I had

rotund gate
#

okay well I wish you luck with it

cyan gull
cyan creek
#

Yeah true

#

It was basically a single elimination theme tournament

rotund gate
#

sounds interesting

cyan gull
#

I have an idea to make it work

cyan creek
#

With organising

cyan gull
#

but it'd probably have to be when we have no major event going on

cyan creek
#

We don’t do we

cyan gull
#

I'll need help with the prompts, just like we discussed

cyan creek
#

Except for going somewhere series

cyan gull
#

Going Deeper is happening rn

crisp cargo
lapis sparrow
#

I didn't really pay much attension to most of the cress contest sprites but then this one caught my eye. Is that a god damn Ceaseless Void reference?!?!

sick herald
#

if ceaseless void is from terraria, it probs is

#

i think soreile like terraria, the calamity mod especially

gusty frost
#

the first sprite i made that reached the pools (lost first round but anyway)

ashen sapphire
lapis sparrow
uncut shadow
#

i made one evil and im really proud of it

#

These Server Icons feel like they're changing every week now XD

sick herald
#

is the calamity mod on tmod loader?

#

(idk how terraria mods work)

ashen sapphire

Because there are a l o t

Do it!

steady pasture
odd garnet
#

True

#

Well it was the last contest of the new pokemon entries
Which was like an era of rapid fire contests for every new mon

ashen sapphire
void sluice
#

I got myself thinking, maybe I should've put my cresselia body in the drive when I had time thorns

frail bramble
#

the ppl who got the cress completionist tag were the ones who took part in the contest?

cloud solstice

#

ohk

sharp ice
#

I kind of wanna ask for some advice on my second "Going Deeper" entry, but I'm not sure. I'm probably going to be redoing the whole thing, but it would be nice to have some advice that way I just don't end up recreating the same awkward sprite all over again.

steady pasture
#

The people who usually win will have their own ideas and concepts and post at the last minute anyways lol

sly gorge
#

aight just sent my contest entry to the drive

#

probably gonna submit only one cause my motivation for PIF spriting is at an all time low

#

Cress Semis are up. So pleased with how well my sprite did, never expected it would get this far.

steady pasture
#

Nooooo... Shuppet/Cresselia lost...

tulip tusk
#

that one had a killer design

late sequoia
#

GL to the finalists of Cresselia Cup. Also to the remaining Little Cup contestants, I believe with that last vote I'm officially free knock out of the running

hollow gull
#

I loved Omanyte/Cress the most personally

cedar quest
#

It got super close to being in the finals

#

1 vote away ||and I liked the Omanyte/Cres more than what it would've tied w/ so that's how the tie woulda went||

worthy shuttle
#

no not

steady pasture
#

Finalists are pretty neck in neck with quality tbh

#

Hard to vote

late sequoia
worthy shuttle
#

I like the cresselia/regi

cedar quest
late sequoia
#

Yeah I meant LC lol

steady pasture
#

Regigigas looks dominating, Moltres has such beautiful SFX wings, Hydreigon stands out with its palette and has a nice concept, fuck volcarona Volcarona looks absolutely divine
Regice looks so beautiful despite its chunky whunky body thanks to its accessories, Absol/Cresselia looks elegant yet edgy

#

So hard to pick

eager wyvern
#

they all should win heehee

cedar quest
#

If you're gonna say somethin' nice about the finalists like that, say somethin' nice about all of 'em, Smirkball

eager wyvern
#

real winners in this competition are the IF players

#

they get all of them

steady pasture
late sequoia
#

IF Players also win when we do a contest

steady pasture
#

I should also need to remove my bias to pick the ones without Cresselia palette just because they stand out

wintry mauve

gl to croissant finalists TeamCroissant

eager wyvern

damn we holding a baking competition?

#

Good luck! TeamCroissant

heady sage
#

They’re all so good, holy cow.

steady pasture
#

I guess i should clarify

cedar quest
#

???????????????????Volcarona Meta???????

cerulean crag
#

does cresselia taste like moon rocks

crude cedar
#

cheese

eager wyvern
#

Volcarona got a job at Meta

#

clearly

steady pasture
#

Why Volcarona? I have no idea

#

it predates my time as a spriter

cedar quest
#

Nah only the first 2: People used Volcarona to abuse the first 2, it's not a Volcarona meta

eager wyvern
#

everyone likes Volcarona

tulip tusk
#

people like the cool bug

eager wyvern
#

good name, good pokemon, looks cool as hell

sinful pendant
#

Brb, making a Kaiju Volkarona with a ton of SFX for the next contest 🏃‍♀️

steady pasture
#

LOL

tulip tusk
#

honestly I voted for it since I like the shading on it

steady pasture
#

Please don't, u'd win and not give other spriters a chance

eager wyvern
#

like i dont think theres many pokemon that have few haters, but Volcarona seems like one of them

#

Volcarona haters dont exist

cedar quest
#

Volcarona is a popular mon, but during that stuff people littered it with tons of SFX to

eager wyvern
#

for i refuse to see them heehee

cedar quest
#

well ig it's just better to show you an example

#

I'll use one that to my memory wasn't enterred in a contest heehee

#

Actually no

#

This one absolutely was enterred into a contest

#

I remember that

tulip tusk
#

will there ever be a sfx sprite contest where we just try to make the worst most hard to read sprite

cedar quest
steady pasture
#

My fav Volcarona sprite to date is Rush's

#

Too bad they never submitted it to spritework/gallery

cedar quest
#

That was the winner of the Jirachi contest

steady pasture
#

So i have it ALLLLLL to myself (and to the ppl i shared it with)

cedar quest
#

This podium should sum everything up at the time

Special Attack: 117. Special Defense: 91. Speed: 100.

Sprite by voxposs.

tulip tusk
#

also this is reminding me that I should work on my contest sprite and I'm wondering if I'm adding too much "sfx" even though it makes sense with the design (do plushies count as sfx?)

cedar quest
#

In terms of Podium, Volcarona has only reached the Podium 6 times, and of that 3 being in it's own classic comp where everything used Volcarona.

There is absolutely no Volcarona meta, but it's def one of the mons you think of for good sprites, so I can why you kinda thought that

tulip tusk
#

meta contest where we just try to skew the vote as hard as possible

steady pasture
#

I can't tell if 6 times is alot or not

cedar quest
#

3 of the 6 were in a contest where everything had to use Volcarona, Volcarona on podium was literally guranteed

cedar quest
#

I...have no clue trolley

naive summit
#

that'd be interesting to determine tbh

tulip tusk
#

emoji reacts based on sprite-gallery? idk

naive summit
#

nah I'm gonna make a sheet with all the winners/top 3 placements and then just do some formula stff to determine what mons appear the most in podiums

limpid sphinx
#

its not like i am engaged with IF that much anymore but

#

community votes deserves their end

lusty pewter
#

Oof my Melo got 8 votes less than 2nd place in semis, well tbh it went further than expected so I still count that as a win :D

limpid sphinx
#

u know

#

its funny how community votes works

rotund gate
#

I'm just glad my guy made it to semis

naive summit
#

anyways while I work on this, interested in what people think will be the most popular mon for contest wins/podiums

cedar quest
#

Ik Golurk has gotten a suprising amount of Podiums compared to some mons

naive summit
#

That doesn't surprise me tbh

#

I'm expecting something like Torterra to be high up there though

#

side note I'm also jotting down spriters during this and,,, mammuth moment

rotund gate
#

I think birds are probably popular too

limpid sphinx
#

Venusaur, Golurk

rotund gate
#

Articuno and big fire bird (can't remember name rn lol)

cedar quest
#

Moltres?

rotund gate
#

I'm tired heehee

limpid sphinx
#

bt

#

btw

#

the cressy moltres passed to quarters on premlins but beated some sprites that passed straight to semis on semis lol

#

funny

rotund gate
#

Yeah maybe it was bc it was up against different sprites? Idk maybe some people just changed their minds

#

Ngl I really like the cow milk one (can't remember name heehee )

lusty pewter
#

miltank?

naive summit
#

I've reached July 2021 and current Torterra is leading with 8 podiums (all 8 being wins), followed by Cofagrigus (8 podiums, 3 wins), Metagross (7 podiums, 4 wins) and Gardevoir (7 podiums, 3 wins)

cedar quest
naive summit
#

honestly

#

Kiwi is pretty close to mammuth in terms of wins and podiums lmao

#

actually Kiwi has more podiums overall, but less wins

#

Kiwi is the real meta

#

(left is wins, right is total podium placements)

#

I finally reached 2022 rowfuk

steady pasture
#

Lol

naive summit
#

ngl I'm encountering spriters that I forgot about and now miss

#

its also kinda wild how little votes things got in ye olden days

#

the first contest won with 8 votes (out of 25 total votes)

cress/milotic perished last round, the other ones still in so to abide by the no discussing current entries rule i will leave that one up to your imagination jz_giftygiggle

steady pasture

#

oh youre right pika_squint eh, feels like the polite code of conduct either way, ill stick with it acAgree

steady pasture
#

I would assume it's no longer there because either they forgot it, or they removed it because they decided to trust that we'll be polite and matur- pfft... yeah... they forgot...

naive summit
#

I have made it to the new mon mini contests

versed ridge
#

I hope i can at the very least make it to Podium this time

naive summit

behold

wary canopy
#

ohyes ooo interesting

naive summit
#

I'll add a bit more functionality n stuff eventually but for now

acoustic saddle
steady pasture
#

Cuz Torterra has 10 1st place, and 17 top 3, so does it mean it had a podium 27 times, or "just" 17 times?

#

Torterra meta ftw

limpid sphinx
#

top 3 also count 1st place yea

steady pasture
#

Kiwi top podiums, Mammuth top 1st places, Torterra most podiums and 1st places

I also voted for ribbon but they were all really good. All the sprites deserve to have their spots on the podium

kaiju and volcarona meta stay strong

silk plank

is the first place the hermit shadow from p3?

#

imagine i'm completely wrong

molten crater
#

meta isn't a thing, it's all in your head

crisp cargo
#

no there's definitely sfx meta with votes usually lol

cloud solstice
#

big sprites are advantaged too bc they are more vivible, especially on the first round were they are a lot of sprites in a single image, and you can't zoom

#

basically, whatever grab the eye the most is usually going to be voted for more and being bigger and having effects helps a lot

olive sentinel
#

I mean you can zoom if you open the image on google but who does that right?

ashen sapphire
#

Big sprites do have more room for detail, and detail does matter for community votes.

cloud solstice
#

staff votes is different tho, since sfx tend to be disliked there
not sure for kaiju tho

ashen sapphire
#

From what I have observed so far, staff votes seem to favor being very slightly larger than base but not to the point where they're taking up the whole square

#

If it's obviously way too big that gets noticed

#

If it's not, then the advantages of a slightly larger sprite still come into play bc effects might ding you but detail is still Good

cloud solstice
#

I doubt they have the og sprite to compare the size for every entry so I'm not surprised heehee

#

btw surprised there's only 36 entries as of now
IK there's still 4 days left but that seems low

Can I make a memory entry where it's my randomized nuzlocke playthrough where General Sunkern sacrifices himself to let me heal my pokemon against Misty's gym? 🤔

#

Nah

#

Too specific
Lol

lusty pewter

I think that's fine, a lot of nuzlocke run include sacrificing mon to get 1 free turn to heal

cloud pulsar
#

atleast you have a memory
all that i remember was that i loved using my shedinja

lusty pewter
#

That might mean your as soulless as the mon your use heehee

cloud pulsar
#

so true

#

idk wonderguard was really fun to use

lusty pewter
#

It's an ability that either make or break a mon really. Cuz you're either complete untouchable or you fighting a 5v6 battle (in Canon, here you can fuse it with mon that gets you 1 Weakness only so it's a lot more consistent)

idk whats being voted on but i do know infinite entries sounds like suffering

broken robin

Little cup has been running since I started spriting

what is little cup

I think it's just first stage mons only contest? As in not single stage, but the first in a line. Could be wrong

oh i didnt scroll up far enough

I do have a plan for tomorrow already

silver solar
#

What does infinite entries have to do with the oopsies? I thought those stopped mattering long ago when the self elim voting was done

cedar quest
#

I never said it did in this instance, but Infinite Entries is wayyyy more headache trolley

#

Infinite Entries w/ 1st Round Self-Elim is a Sheet for every person that enterred narrowing their entries to 2 by Communities Choice.
Round 1 of LC was ~230 sheets w/ non-copy paste command typing since each person does not have a consistent # of entries (Person A submitted 23, Person B submitted 9, Person C submitted 43, etc) [[And even so our bot only goes up to 20, meaning those people with higher than 20 have to have multiple sheets, and turn into their own personalized bracket]

silver solar
#

Yeah, i think i had 4

#

Just a little short of 80 entries

crude cedar
#

more than 20 entires?! thats a lot of fusions

silver solar
#

I got burnout from little cup

broken robin
#

The LC also coincided with a huge boost in public awareness of IF through youtube coverage, which meant a lot of new spriters and entries

silver solar
#

I think hero was a new spriter at the start

cedar quest
#

Like, SC8: had 101 participants.

Over triple the amount this time heehee

def reads as grass

subtle moss
#

Hm, will I binge one more sprite for the contest, in addition to fixing the one I already got?

thick jolt
#

if i were to make an entry with the shiny colour’s because it was my first shiny would that,, be ok??

#

idk the rules about using the shiny colour pallette

lusty pewter
#

should be fine, alts are allowed in contest, just not joke alts. although best to have one with reg palette for the game, keeping the shiny as alt

tulip tusk
#

I almost forgot to submit my sprite ngl

lusty pewter
#

I now always submit right after finishing the sprite even before getting feedback. this is mostly so I don't forget accidentally, after feedback I can just change out the submitted sprite from the docs

#

at least that way even if it's an earlier non-edited sprite, it's still an entry

cedar quest
#

oh wait

#

I misread

#

That is perfectly fine

#

What I thought you were gonna do was recolor your first entry w/ shiny colors and submit that.

#

Like say that these were your 2 entires. Same thing with just a minor change on the second

#

Neither of these would do well as a result. It'd just be better to submit one or the other.

#

Why am I elaborating so much when that's not even what you said?? Because it's happened before trolley

tulip tusk
#

out of curiosity: do people tend to avoid voting for sprites that have been submitted twice with major or minor edits?

zealous pendant
#

I for one didn't vote for the Groudon statues from going somewhere. Not entirely because it was just the same sprite twice, but that did influence my opinion once I knew it

digital haven
#

I kind of do

#

Other thing is if they wind up in the same poll it probably hurts both entries by splitting the votes between the two

cedar quest
#

yeah

crude cedar
#

i sure didnt think about that

#

i dont think about a lot of things though

To double check, Little Cups never accept Legendary fusions even if it's with a 1st evo yeah?

There was indeed someone who submitted Articuno/LC mons into the cup.

They were in the bracket, but I never made polls for them and just DQ'd them since they didn't fit the rules

Another LC would be cool. Just don't do the dumb (as caff said)

steady pasture
#

I understand in the past it was fine because u guys lacked alot of 1st evo sprites, and had limited spriters, so your submissions were managable

cedar quest
#

no no I get that

steady pasture
#

but now that we have alot more spriters, with plenty of aspiring ones thanks to poketubers like Alpharad, u can be more modest with your contest methods and submission limits

cedar quest
#

but like

#

absolutely not GamRTroll

steady pasture
#

Granted it seems like we have plenty of 1st evo sprites atm, so we're in no rush to fill them in anymore.
That said, a midevo/midevo contest might be more practical if we're just aiming to fill the gaps
