damn, hope its gonna get better
I believe it will, but not fast enough for me to get my sprite in
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
I should probably get LC polls up, huh? I haven't in a few days, been trying to balance a lot of different polls
How many of the quarters go through? 1, 2 or 3?
Quarters: 1st, 2nd and 3rd sprite of each bracket go to Semis.
A few days between polls is still stellar progress relative to the months since LC started
Oh ik, but I wanted to have it done by the end of this month
That ain't happenin' 
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 🙏)
might be better in #spriting-discussion but to answer your question, we use gen 5 sprite colors, and the colors are based on the head so in the case you'd be using Honckrow's colors #spriting-guidelines message
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
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
Welcome! I wish you luck on your journey!
oh yeah about that, I actually wanted to go for haunter being the head and the body being honchkrow
and thank you for the tips!
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
ahaha no yeah I totally get that! but thank you ill try to keep all that in mind regardless!
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 
(glad this contest has so long left)
buddy is just standing there happily, waiting in case he sees any corsolas or sm

great idea 
Nice spriter ping @cedar quest 
This is why I private the channel 
Yeah 
Command fought me and won 💀
(we're not gonna talk about the fact that I still can see it)
first time i saw a channel privated wowwww
indeed 
I normally don't private for small amounts of polls, but for larger amounts I private so y'all don't vote as I post the polls and lag the bot 
I was always making it private so I dont ping by accident lol
God damn, the 1st Cresselia bracket is stacked
i was wondering what was that
but i think i have an idea now
I mean the good thing for that is with the Spriter role, it asks for if you wanna ping it w/ a large amount of people if unprivated
I think 
I don't wanna test that 
Gamr purposely putting SFX heavy sprites together so he can eliminate a large portion of them
Gamr hates SFX sprites confirmed
sfx meta shall fall
||I mean ur not wrong, but it just randomized that way
||
||Although I wouldn't even call those SFX sprites, much more tame than what we had months ago, this is fine||
Apologies for the bad screenshot, but there's a bugged poll.
maybe gordo really likes a
gordo bias?
Client-side, Ctrl+R
I wonder if bunnelby will be added this year for easter 🤔
Got it, thank you
I hope mine isn't too sfx heavy. I followed suggestions of others lol (I also really like how it looks)
How tf is my sprite still in the contest, I thought it would've dropped out in quarters already :|
I like the concept, that's nuff said
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.
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.
I finally have a maybe okay idea
I've been sick for weeks tho I dunno if I can make anything
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)
saaame but I'm so happy mine stayed. Mine did pretty well considering it's my first contest
well then, guess everyone's getting their happy little accident
I made it to quarters, I was happy
This contest really was stacked
I uploaded the wrong sprite though for my 2nd entry
my second entry didn't do well but I still like it nonetheless
I think my persian may have done better
but yeah, this boy was my ticket to success this time
it's a clever sprite
just host it somewhere (preferably #spriter-general-lounge so people can actually see it) and if it gets enough traction you can get a thread
what's your idea?
Thanks Pory
np
it's pretty good, but I think it needs more exposure
That one idea
dont know it
It was an idea Pory and I had
okay well I wish you luck with it
no need to be secretive about it
sounds interesting
speaking of which, I'll pitch it to Gordo
I have an idea to make it work
but it'd probably have to be when we have no major event going on
We don’t do we
I'll need help with the prompts, just like we discussed
Except for going somewhere series
Going Deeper is happening rn
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?!?!
if ceaseless void is from terraria, it probs is
i think soreile like terraria, the calamity mod especially
the first sprite i made that reached the pools (lost first round but anyway)
There are a lot of Calamity references lol
I need to see ALL of them
i made one
and im really proud of it
where? :0
i rember
you told me to add the outline for the eye 
These Server Icons feel like they're changing every week now XD
yes it is
I can DM you the ones I made so I don't spam the channel
Because there are a l o t
Do it!
At least your's lasted for quite long lol
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
sent u all of the ones I made c:
I got myself thinking, maybe I should've put my cresselia body in the drive when I had time 
the ppl who got the cress completionist tag were the ones who took part in the contest?
It's people who made Cressy heads during the rush
ohk
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.
Just ask
The people who usually win will have their own ideas and concepts and post at the last minute anyways lol
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
I feel that
Cress Semis are up. So pleased with how well my sprite did, never expected it would get this far.
Nooooo... Shuppet/Cresselia lost...
that one had a killer design
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
I loved Omanyte/Cress the most personally
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||
no not
At this point do you have everyones entries memorized lol
I like the cresselia/regi
For this? Nah
For LC? Absolutely 
Yeah I meant LC lol
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
they all should win 
If you're gonna say somethin' nice about the finalists like that, say somethin' nice about all of 'em, 
Gyarados looks cool, and Arcanine has cosmic SFX fur that stands out
IF Players also win when we do a contest
I should also need to remove my bias to pick the ones without Cresselia palette just because they stand out
gl to croissant finalists 
.....not what I meant, I was moreso saying don't actively bash on entries (I:e, fix your ""Fuck Volcarona"")
damn we holding a baking competition?
Good luck! 
They’re all so good, holy cow.
Oh, it was meant to be a joke on the Volcarona meta, it's pretty awesome
I guess i should clarify
???????????????????Volcarona Meta???????
does cresselia taste like moon rocks
cheese
From what i hear, past contests had 3 types of metas. Kaiju, SFX, and Volcarona
Why Volcarona? I have no idea
it predates my time as a spriter
Nah only the first 2: People used Volcarona to abuse the first 2, it's not a Volcarona meta
everyone likes Volcarona
people like the cool bug
good name, good pokemon, looks cool as hell
Brb, making a Kaiju Volkarona with a ton of SFX for the next contest 🏃♀️
LOL
honestly I voted for it since I like the shading on it
Please don't, u'd win and not give other spriters a chance
like i dont think theres many pokemon that have few haters, but Volcarona seems like one of them
Volcarona haters dont exist
Volcarona is a popular mon, but during that stuff people littered it with tons of SFX to
for i refuse to see them 
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 
Actually no
This one absolutely was enterred into a contest
I remember that
will there ever be a sfx sprite contest where we just try to make the worst most hard to read sprite
My fav Volcarona sprite to date is Rush's
Too bad they never submitted it to spritework/gallery
That was the winner of the Jirachi contest
So i have it ALLLLLL to myself (and to the ppl i shared it with)
This podium should sum everything up at the time
April fools contest, best joke sprite
https://if.daena.me/157.374/
forget about looking cool the best volvronas are the funky ones
very holdable design
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?)
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
meta contest where we just try to skew the vote as hard as possible
I can't tell if 6 times is alot or not
Not really. It's more like 3 because as I said
3 of the 6 were in a contest where everything had to use Volcarona, Volcarona on podium was literally guranteed
what's the most popular one
I...have no clue 
that'd be interesting to determine tbh
emoji reacts based on sprite-gallery? idk
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
its not like i am engaged with IF that much anymore but
community votes deserves their end
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
I'm just glad my guy made it to semis
anyways while I work on this, interested in what people think will be the most popular mon for contest wins/podiums
Ik Golurk has gotten a suprising amount of Podiums compared to some mons
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
I think birds are probably popular too
Venusaur, Golurk
Articuno and big fire bird (can't remember name rn lol)
Moltres?
I'm tired 
bt
btw
the cressy moltres passed to quarters on premlins but beated some sprites that passed straight to semis on semis lol
funny
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
)
miltank?
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)
the real meta is mammuth 
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 
Lol
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)
I forgot Rush is dead
(my fault)
Mammuth needs to teach a class (please)
Still has some the best sprites imo
oh yea he was amazingly talented
25 total votes..
the peaceful days
:0 what do u mean?
:0 oh it was about old contest voter number?
just that it shows how much the servers blown up now that were over 10x that amount of votes 
yee
is it bad or good
much mlre chaotic but also many more sprites so 
:0 did u got in the cressy event?
perhaps so
what was it? :3c
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 
i know whats it
Technically that rule is no longer mentioned in #rules
oh youre right
eh, feels like the polite code of conduct either way, ill stick with it 
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...
I have made it to the new mon mini contests
behold
Stats n Stuff lol

Arceus Classic,Community,Arceus,...
ooo interesting
I'll add a bit more functionality n stuff eventually but for now
😔 too bad ur sprite isnt in the final

Does your top 3 also count 1st place?
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
17
top 3 also count 1st place yea
Kiwi top podiums, Mammuth top 1st places, Torterra most podiums and 1st places
My Cressy/UNecrozma didn't make it
It's not a reshi tho 
i hope u did win this time
for cressy shake
multiple rapidash 
I have posted my Memory contest entry and am reasonably proud
Winner imo
Cres finals end in ~15 mins
Could y'all be my lil' unofficial helpers and ping me when they are over in case I don't notice
ay ay Captain
@cedar quest

If he gas, why no flying type? 
regi big ass
congrats on your first contest win! @versed ridge
you don't have the role you can't say that word 
FUCK YOU
gas aren't flying
I'm surprised slux' sprite didn't win though honestly
it's only for newest contest champ totally 
I always adore their style
sooo whats the fusion reference to 

Bloodborne
how am I supposed to say my made up swear words from random media now?
what does this mean
your shading was very impressive and the sheer size was also impressive
Yipe (thansk
a specific boss? or somthin
in emote form, don't you know EMs are blind to emotes 
BLOODBORNE W
Moon Presence :)
anyways moving the stuff over to contest gallery
ty
don't do anything dumb in the next 5m pls ty

quick chat, devolve into chaos and fighting!
alright we got 5 mins to shit talk
I think this one controversial topic is dumb!
death
hey thats not nice! T_T
we did a drama guys good job
My shoulder itches
wtf a drama while i was gone
I'm a ghost :D
I trusted you
😂
after seeing pics of moon presence i would have never thought of cresselia/regigigas to make a reference for it 
nice job egg
I must step down
we did a little drama, a little silly goofy jesting while you were away
This betrayal has ruined me

U were so ready 
maybe
smhmh
yes yes I did
@versed ridge @limber holly @wary canopy Congratulations on your placements!! I love the regi duo hanging together
and Volcarona/Cresselia watching over them
I do miss the paras/venusaur icon bc I like the aesthetic but this one is pretty cool too

I really like your sprite you did a good job with the shading and posture, and just everything
Thanx 👍
ty 
congrats to everyone who participated, y'all are so talented and amazing 
congrats to everyone 
those croissants are awesome
Congrats to the winners! Surprised absol didnt get a higher place, I really liked its wings
Way to go everyone!
all s tier finalists
tbh on the finals i voted for the regice but all of them are awesome 🔥
absol was my fave, got that myspace gigachad energy

Btw, i didn't vote for u
i voted regice
its like one of my favs too
I also voted for ribbon but they were all really good. All the sprites deserve to have their spots on the podium
Well, I had a good run as the last winner, but tbh I knew the Regice or Regigigas was gonna win and totally deserved it
it was really good! the shine on the gems was really well done
Ceaseless Void had a good run and I'm not mad it didn't win
I had an issue with the color and shape of the smoke, personally
made it a tad busy
yeah that's fair. committing to the bit held me back a bit but it was still fun to do
aw hehe thanks 
wait another terraria ref?
are you even remotely surprised
lmao
I'm just glad to have at least 1 win under my belt for once
I'm surprised the Gyarados didn't get more tbh
pass me some of that luck(/skill) 
what is larry

what does that mean
Im just happy I got to finals, that was the best I did in a contest I think
which one have you made?
This arcanine friend
pretty sure i voted it 2 times since the start, really great sprite!
Aww ty! Your sprite for sure deserved the W, congrats!
Thanx 
Man i love the regigigas cresselia
Regigigas sprites that are good are always really good
eyo ggs man @versed ridge
I just got an idea for my 2nd entry... I'm gonna make a fusion of the pokemon that makes me interested in the game in the first place, mega gallade and altaria :D
why didn't I thought about this sooner, it's so obvious now that I think about it
kaiju and volcarona meta stay strong
meta isn't a thing, it's all in your head
no there's definitely sfx meta with votes usually lol
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
I mean you can zoom if you open the image on google but who does that right?
Big sprites do have more room for detail, and detail does matter for community votes.
staff votes is different tho, since sfx tend to be disliked there
not sure for kaiju tho
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
I doubt they have the og sprite to compare the size for every entry so I'm not surprised 
btw surprised there's only 36 entries as of now
IK there's still 4 days left but that seems low
i was rooting so hard for this guy
An epic Cresselia body
finally made two entries for the contest, this time I didn't make meloetta cuz despite my love for the lil' pop star, most of my impactful pokemon related memories are gallade related, specifically mega gallade. what do you guys think?
woaaah those are amazing!! the rendering on those blades is especially nice
thx :3
I try to look at sprites more and see how they work technically (readable silhouette, looks like both Pokémon, creativity, shading) but very many drag away attention due to palette or size or else
I think I’d run these on my team
Especially that altaria
would love for my fusions to be used in other people's team
floof-taria :3
:0 i wonder the altaria one might be hard to read the pose, since its all blue
what about using purple from gen 4 alta to make the body darker from the blade?
Oh that's a cool idea, sure I'll give it a try later
btw hows the collab going?
I'll do LC polls tomorrow, got distracted with spriting today 
Omg I got second place!!! (What an awesome time for my internet to go out for two days
)
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
I think that's fine, a lot of nuzlocke run include sacrificing mon to get 1 free turn to heal
atleast you have a memory
all that i remember was that i loved using my shedinja
That might mean your as soulless as the mon your use 
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)
Congrats @versed ridge on the win and @wary canopy on the podium 
Finals were stacked this time, everyone did amazing 
Ty 🥹
Waiting for Ribbon to get 1st place
soon 
thank you seaslux!! was rooting for you to win, loved your entry! 
i appreciate the confidence but probably not
for diance
by the time diancie comes around in 20 years i’ll have done every possible fusion already
it would be funny if there's some kind of challenge where if you could 100% a fusion of non-IF mon and any possible evo line, it gets to be put in the game 
hard at work to test the limits
Contest idea
Fusions of realistic animals
Like make the fusion as close to a real animal Lol
Want a cat? Make Meowth walk on 4 legs
then all of ur will be main with out any competiton
persian
Nah
Too big

No give it to those who makes every possible fusion for 1 pokemon by themselves 
u got ur already
melodeeze
🤔
Do I really want to be associated with Roserade (yes) AND Meloetta?
you always want to be associated with meloetta 
liger fusion
You helped me achieve my dream (of getting melo in) so yea

Anyways i have made (one of) the meloetta palworld sprites
Idk if I'll have time for the other
Wait you won last contest?
I wonder if I'll have time to sprite this
lost my dang mind today
close! Torterra/Mantine
@cedar quest extend the deadline so this can get in
that works too

gamr hates me
gamr banned for being a meanie
I'm already behind schedule, the end of the series was originally gonna be this week
LC3: 100 entries max 
yeah i can see how you thought wailord
cowards smh smh smh 
I'm actually very excited especially considering my life has just all converged on this week
never really had time to do this event y'know
I hope I can clear up my class schedule a tiny bit so I can participate in part 3
wait no shit I have to start on my grant project
maybe it's time to more rigidly schedule things so I can juggle many things
idk whats being voted on but i do know infinite entries sounds like suffering
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 huh
oh i didnt scroll up far enough
I do have a plan for tomorrow already
What does infinite entries have to do with the oopsies? I thought those stopped mattering long ago when the self elim voting was done
I never said it did in this instance, but Infinite Entries is wayyyy more headache 
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]
more than 20 entires?! thats a lot of fusions
I got burnout from little cup
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
I think hero was a new spriter at the start
yo thats me

From LC? I think I had like three months in the server when it started
And then I saw money and thought “If I’m going to study in Canada, earning a bit of extra money would help me a lot, specially if this ends when I’m there”
And now I’m studying in Canada and LC hasn’t ended 
And now you’re a sprite manager lol
man money
but id never have won if id been here to enter lol
How long does it evewn take to set up the lc polls
Even if you don’t win the first three places, there are smaller prizes in different categories 
wait LC has money?
Yes lol
Wait, hero when did you join? It feels like you've just always been here
Idk if i even joined when lc started originally
Dec 2022
Wdym?Hero has always been there, even before the server started 
Im a shadow, im the night, im vengeance
Im Batman
Hero has been around since the start of time 
Batman makes pokemon fusions? 
~~did you do a bat fusion ?
~~
I once made Lucario/Gliscor ||But got swapped into Gliscor/Lucario
||
how do i make the grass look more like grass
little tufts of grass
aight i think that did it
Hm, will I binge one more sprite for the contest, in addition to fixing the one I already got?
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
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
I almost forgot to submit my sprite ngl
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
It technically is allowed, but I will upmost tell you doing so will bomb both of your entries.
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 
out of curiosity: do people tend to avoid voting for sprites that have been submitted twice with major or minor edits?
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
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
yeah
it was rlly funny tho
I actually started my event sprite!
||Who knows if i'll actually finish it though
||
Damn this got ratioed immediately 
#1211829002839392306
||Tell me you have PTSD without telling me you have PTSD||
i think gourd forgot to make most of the loser polls this round anonymous
no hate just realized
the bot never likes to reset the reacts anyways 
TIL the bot doesn't DM you if the vote isn't anonymous
it might still be processing them? I got one DM from the bot
there was precisely one anonymous vote, the one at the very end
oh I see, I didnt notice the settings. Dont mind me then haha
To double check, Little Cups never accept Legendary fusions even if it's with a 1st evo yeah?
heh yeah, correct. ||I think ik where you might be goin' with this||
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
Oh nah, u got it wrong
I was just wondering if me spamming Registeel/1st evos would reduce options for LC in the future
Since it doesn't, i can just spam it now with no worries
I don't see why that would be an issue. Just remove infinite submissions
Another LC would be cool. Just don't do the dumb (as caff said)
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
no no I get that
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
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
I wasn't even supposed to be the person to do LC3, I had quit the team, came back and it still wasn't done. This contest has killed every person who's touched it 
See the color of my name? See how it isn't orange? Understand why idgaf?
Damn, that sucks

there are 3. Howls, Katten, and me.
Katten is alive?
......not at the moment 😅
...
but that's besides the point
While LC has been ongoing: We lost Skel, Mael, Rez, Tee, and as I said I left and came back.
Hell, LC would still be a complete swampfire if it wasn't for Grey
The position of EM is cursed 
Also fun fact: I had to get Challonge Premium just to make the bracket you see on Challonge...LC has technically lost more money than provided 
Everyone who gets it perishes
but Challonge premium is useful to me anyways so idgaf 
It really is. But that should be changing soon. I don't got any ETA, but some stuff should be changing for the better
oh oops replied to wrong message 
For now, we just keep chuggin'
And kudos to you for doing a great job tbh
If I were doin' good, it'd be done by now 
I'm doin' good enough to be on schedule
Not sure how many of ya have looked at the full bracket, but we pretty much are at the end
Like yeah, there's 16 rounds of losers...but a lot of those are >8 polls
You've been working hard and that deserves respect and commendation imo
This bar
Seeing that we're almost done is enough
I originally had planned to have LC finished this month, but seems it'll be early March instead
damn my porygon/piplup lost by one point
Early march? Damn, just short of the one year anniversary 😮💨
Did you mean less than (<) 8? 
8(
Got a thread for the lil' guy now, if anyone wants to share a thought on this unusual thing 
#1212094915568336896
thats so cool 
Last 15 minutes till submissions close 
maybe, when cosmog join if
8m :)
3 minutes left 
1 minute left.

RIP those that didn't submit it in time
Togepi going around and saving lives 
-1 hour and 38 mins left omggg
its been almost a solid 2 months with just 2 event managers smhsmh bruv
I tried, not everyone made it 
My internet is still out so I don't have a second entry this time 😔
It's okay though. Tbh I was struggling with the sprite and I might be able to do the idea better another time. And I'm happy with the sprite I did submit 
We may or may not have resulted in getting unofficial helpers because getting actual ones is impossible 
Also I did my first polls earlier this month
do i need to get out of my grandpa retirement chair and come back, is that the only way yallre getting new EMs
Day 1 of asking for contest results 
Hush they'll come out when they're ready
nevermind im staying in retirement
Enjoy your retirement tbh, it's less dramatic
tbf the retirement original was cause of bein in a bad spot for a bit but were back to vibin now, i have no strong opinions one way or the other
Glad to have you back and vibin 
The spriters must do rock paper scissors
The winner wins the tiebreaker

Coin flip 
I thought of that too but rock paper scissors sounded funnier
Make the voters fight in an arena to pick the winner 
doesnt gamr just pick one he likes more?
sshhh, let there be blood
We will see GamR's favoritism at work 
I guess its different for this event alone
yep, when it is a sponsered event, the sponsor decide, when its a normal event, gamr decide
(ofc not counting the birthday ones, that ofc the birthday person that decide lol
Who's the sponsor? 
in those case kiwi is the one choosing who pass
Got it
Submit chinchou fusions from now on to win potential tie breakers
idk whos the sponsor of Kiwis Little Cup
😂
genius move
Kiwi breaks the tie.
Unless it's a poll with Kiwi's own entries, in which case Kiwi automatically loses
What's this stuff about some kind of Sponsorship Event?
LC
I'll announce the next contest when Staff voting is done, or by March 4th. Which ever comes sooner.
What I will announce today though is something for next month 
Or tomorrow, depends on what I do today 
results when ....
Hopefully my sprite does better this time around for the contest. Last staff voted one I didnt do too hot 
staff votings require bribes 
All I have are pixels, hope thats enough 
Next time 
so true
volcarona contest when?
Day 2 of asking for contest results 
volcarona contest but a no sfx rule 
I have decided not to vote for the contest 
why :0
I would be terrible at it 
XD
dont be too harshy 😭
lol
Too much caffeine?

This was my first time voting in a staff contest. There's too many amazing entries 
wait going deeper is staff vote?
nah
Yeah, going deeper is a staff voting contest. And so is the next
The 1st event was about locations, this current event was about memories, i wonder what the 3rd event will be about?
soup.... soup contest
3rd contest you will have to ||sprite one of the staff's fursonas||
finally
I'll be forced to learn how to draw fursonas
Damn... NTM would hav a head start on Milian's
Next contest is Popik. You all must draw popik. 
Extra points if you remember the shell is lumpy 
Wait, that’s an oc? I thought it was just a pidgeotto/wartortle
Where did the name come from?
It's a bootleg pokemon from a chinese fabric 
if you zoom in, it says the name here 
That's nostalgic. My parents used to buy me bootleg crap a ton
Quirtrem looks like a koffing/rattata/sandshrew triple fusion
I love bootleg designs. They're so off in the most funny ways
The Pikachu Charmander abomination (called Poksaur with two different font types) has the disturbing Gengar family eyes and mouth and it’s truly terrifying.

Oh Squige is kind of cute at least!! Im pretending I cant see Chuders nightmare face staring at me really hard rn
Squige and Pichukaot definitely my favs
Hmm... Torn between posting my contest entry to gallery before the end of the month, and waiting for the contest results for potential staff feedback before posting to gallery 
post it to gallery, get staff feedback, and post it again in sprite error 
gotta love how chamander is just a ratatta, and only has charmander's tail but with a tree instead of a flame 
I can do that
hey yall, kind of out of the loop on the events here, are there any active things that I could be submitting for?
No official contests, but #1197974573644255343 could get you a role if your sprite is picked by the bot on Friday
ohhh i see thank you
Also #1197599880827392070 #1210021946105004052 and #1197396047434088518 are for-fun community events you could join
ty ty
"Squige" and "Chuder"
ngl i think next contest may be present/future related
locations are locations you've visited before (past)
memories are well.. memories (past)
now were going to the present or future?
Why would it be past, past, present? I think sprites representing one of the games or characters would stay more in line with the theming of this contest series.
What’s happening next month?
could be like "use pokemon your using in your if team rn!!!"
Merge March?!?
oh right
Honestly truth be told
I have literally no framework for next month
Was literally busy with LC 
If ONLY there was SOMEONE to do the stuff so I can plan
Beg frog
Oh right, day 3 of asking for contest results 
i'd be down 
I already said what the next contest is 
like as a sprite or as a drawing in general
high quality render with realistic hair texture?
3D hypercube

submissions have to be mailed directly to thorns
you want to open an envelope and a bunch of black dust falls out?
You know what
Never met em, but I've heard of em
SPIRITOMB YEAAAH
I would just like to say that the Theme Blitz doesn't start up again until Sunday
Do The raffle mons have to be posted to gallery
gamr has favorites 
Damn right I do....I just don't say 'em often for fair play
But this? It don't matter if I have a favorite user-event
So I can say that I do indeed like Sprite Bingo & doku more than the other ones
It must be my charming personality 
Are we allowed to use Older Sprites we've made for Spridoku, or do we have to make Brand New Sprites?
Check their post 
Okay, I have submitted my own idea for a Spriterdoku
okay how do i start a user hosted event or whatever its called i forgor the name
just do it lol
ssunday ur back
thanks
#spriter-general message heres mine lol ^^
I don't get it
What's this spritedoku thing?
my time has come
🤣
Manifesting Skarmory Week next week
i haven’t actually used wondertrade in game, is ‘pain trade’ just like a troll sprite
No, it means you choose a sprite for someone else and vice versa. It commonly happens in #1110700109991264287
Usually the sprite is unconventional or challenging, hence ‘pain’
Yeah from what my understanding you basically pick a sprite you don't really want to do for someone else to make and they pick one they don't want to for you to make.
Like, as a way to get less appealing fusions done for a team
if anyone wants to do a non team wild wondertrade for spriter bingo, im right here!!!
whats the current event i cba to look
#1210021946105004052 and #1197974573644255343 are currently active
the hell is sprite bingo
check the pins in the post
k
in the pokémon of the week discussion we wondered if Bidoof would be removed from Pokémon of the week, seeing as it's complete now
has that been adressed already?
nope
wood
bidoof doesn't have much in the ways of potential fusion material besides wood and teeth 
yr just not thinking hard enough 
ntm could probably find a way lmao

i have a pretty fun idea for bidoof/palossand ive been putting off
dam
do it 
going deeper results when?
when we go deep enough
we cant... the drive is closed
u mean the staff?
btw can i change popik's colors for the next event?
i need a pickaxe for that
the popik event isn't real 
i made one 
Amazing
it's a pidgyot/wartortle alt 

then its just the bottle
real
Day 5 of asking for contest results
🏆 ⏰ ❓
every body won
Also they said they would reveal the next contest on March 4th. I wonder what it'll be about?
we gonna go to the netherworld
Ghost zone time?
Going elsewhere when we have to do a sprite that referenc a game that isn't pokrmeon
Reference sprites contest?
where they say that 
Gib me results nao!!
you got a 0. i'm sorry 
btw, @steady pasture i think you spelled your name wrong 
I used my username
yr username is spelled wrong 
It's spelled correctly
Unless u mean i spelt Caffeine wrong, in which case it was already taken. Same with Kaffeine
I too am impatient for those contest results. Since i forgot to post my entry to gallery before march I am intentionally waiting for any potential judge feedback before posting... I would like to have it soon :3
I just wanna see how i performed with my 1st non-humanoid entries
yeye ik I haven’t forgotten
for the ❔ reactions
:v do we have a wood carver yet? i was saving it for macho
I'm hoping the next event will be a new mon or a fun theme contest
whatever the next contest will be I'm going to make meloetta fusion and win >:3
or well... at least try to win... not having any luck so far XD
Don't think so 
I am not feeling, I got the flu 
drink water and feel better gamer
U lied to us 
Jk, hope u feel better soon
flu go crazyyyy :)
Gamr died. No more contests 😔
my b
I'm sorry 😔
