I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!

We had a funeral and everything

[cedar quest]

Both me and my sis got a more severe flu

She’s almost fully recovered, but it’s only gotten worse for me

[hollow gull]

[cedar quest]

I’m at work and on mobile rn so I can’t do the server icon nor update the newest contest stuff

[hollow gull]

[cedar quest]

But I can give y’all the podium in like 20

[hollow gull]

sounds serious enough to get some help with

[cedar quest]

She has, when it was it’s peak

[hollow gull]

you

[cedar quest]

It hasn’t gotten that bad for me in comparison

[hollow gull]

maybe if you do a backflip

[lusty pewter]

didn't you just said it gotten worse for you?

[cedar quest]

yeah the disease has indeed gotten worse for me

But that doesn’t mean I have it worse outta us 2

[lusty pewter]

hm... well alr then, get well soon regardless tho

[wind matrix]

why are you at work if you're sick!

[dense jackal]

following the example of the classic hero "Typhoid Mary"

[cedar quest]

I just had my vacay, I got sick right before I had to go back

[cedar quest]

Time to post the podium before I pass out from exhaustion

nvm, nap time first

then I'll do it when I wake up, and totally not forget

Totally

[wind matrix]

eepy time for Gamr

[near bramble]

[dense jackal]

when the one contest manager is ill so you're stuck waiting

[cedar quest]

Just woke up

I'm def down for the count for a lil' while

Apologies to those anticipating the end of the series, it'll take a bit longer for to get it up than anticipated

[eager wyvern]

nah focus on getting well first, worry about us later

hope it settles down soon

[cyan gull]

what are you, a big time producer?

you think you can end season 2 on a cliffhanger?

[dense jackal]

"The current contest storyline has been cancelled after two highly successful series due to intervention by Netflix"

"Going Deeper" Results Status update P2:

"Captain's log; We have yet to reach the results. As each hour passes it feels more like the end gets further and further out of reach. I fear all hope may be lost.

End Transmission"

[cyan gull]

as the hours pass, you feel an overwhelming presence loom above you. You begin to fear for the worst and, in your fearful stupor, you slip hitting your head. As the lights slowly fade out, you make out the silhouette of the dark figure: A tall, emaciated hooded figure oversees you, ready to take you. You try and fight it, but quickly realize it's futile. The figure has come for you, and it was no accident.

[cedar quest]

what if I told you

that unironically

||Your beginning is like, pretty much what I have for the next contest||

Obvi not the exact same words

[cyan gull]

||||

[cedar quest]

But holy schmoly don’t soul read me like that

[cyan gull]

I've said it before, but I love the love that goes into the contest prompts!

Going Somewhere, Going Deeper and Going Ghost

[olive sentinel]

going missing in action

[cedar quest]

Going Ghost is ten times funnier than what I’m using

If it fit the theme better I’d use it

Hell, this one doesn’t even keep the “Going”

You’ll see later today ((I PROMISE))

Feelin much better, seems like the worst of it was yesterday

Today it’s just mild congestion and sore throat, no body aches. I am 100% schmovin’

[cyan gull]

[olive sentinel]

good to know

also I noticed the username just now

[cyan gull]

We're Polygon Pals

[cedar quest]

[tranquil fable]

Going 6ft Under

[cyan gull]

[hollow gull]

why did you blue him

[lyric hill]

It's shiny

[cedar quest]

alr, Imma do the podium first

Then take a nap

then announce the next contest

Sound good? It better, this is what's happenin'

[uncut shadow]

wait that was a staff vote?

i had no idea

[rotund gate]

congrats winners!

[lofty skiff]

Shoulda just let me do the cool categories 🙏

[tulip tusk]

DID I MISNUMBER MY SPRITE???

[crude cedar]

i didnt get absolutely ripped apart by sprite managers, i call this a sucess!!

[cedar quest]

you did, but we realized

[tulip tusk]

FUCK

[lofty skiff]

Congrats all 3! Scrolling through I definitely think these 3 deserved it

[cedar quest]

I would change the icon and pass out the roles

[tulip tusk]

shit do I have to resubmit to gallery?

[cedar quest]

IDK

[high dagger]

👍

[crude cedar]

well if it was before march u posted it

[cedar quest]

But I cannot anymore

So uhhh

[lofty skiff]

I hope I actually get an idea for the next one 🤭

[crude cedar]

off to #1052360360172199977

[tulip tusk]

it should be the write number but ig I submitted it wrong to the contest

[sharp ice]

Congrats to the winners!

[frail bramble]

ayo nice, i got 5s in terminal awreness and memento

what does terminal awareness mean tho?

[subtle moss]

31 and 35 points, can't compain

[subtle moss]

Its the names of the judges, they're hiding exactly who gave what score.

[crude cedar]

thx memorial and reflection

[untold zinc]

aa my bad for not making it super readable but in case anyone wants context for what the memory of my arceus/porygon-z was

[red vigil]

34, too much sfx and the body was hard to tell tbh

[subtle moss]

If you combine all the sprites that scored the same together I supposed this is my first top 10 placement, I think.

[frail bramble]

uh what does the score specify in the terminal awareness column?

[cedar quest]

I made it the fuck up

[frail bramble]

lool

[subtle moss]

with the other one placing shared 13th

[cedar quest]

It's just masking the names of us who voted

All synonyms or closely related words to memory

[frail bramble]

ooh k

[cedar quest]

Except for that one, because I ran out of ideas

Anyways, as I said. It's nap time now

[frail bramble]

lol

gn

[cedar quest]

Butttt if you wanna lil' sneak peak at the next contest before it's psted

Check the pins, I updated the contest stuff

[crude cedar]

in too deep?

thats what s

[ashen sapphire]

:3

[cedar quest]

You'll find out soon enough. After our regularly scheduled nap

[subtle moss]

I mean, this one was 'going deeper'

It's not always that obvious

or are they just doing the same contest again but this time you have to be even more specific

[ashen sapphire]

if I also win the third contest in the series I'll take a break from contests

[crude cedar]

what if its "make a sprite based off your fears"

idk maybe main characters scared of deepness

[cedar quest]

Nah, it's a lottt more simple than that

I promise

[ashen sapphire]

that said hell yeah now I can say I've won both community AND staff votes

[cedar quest]

Hell, not even experience related

[red vigil]

You also say that for the memory contest :/

[crude cedar]

yay we dont have to remember stuff

[cedar quest]

Well, true

I personally find this next one easier than the previous 2

[subtle moss]

No experience required for this job

[cedar quest]

But hey

[red vigil]

We gonna have to create the memorie 🙂

[cedar quest]

You'll see

[crude cedar]

even babies can do this contest!

[ashen sapphire]

technically a baby can do any contest it's just a matter of if they'd get any points

[lofty skiff]

You said that about the second one too when discussing the first :/

[cedar quest]

Well sorry y'all had bad memory

[lofty skiff]

:0

I mean I had one idea when I found a shiny xurkitree and dropped my 2ds in shock and the game cartridge popped out so I lost it - but didn't know how to sprite it

[sly gorge]

aight time to see how low I scored

[plucky arch]

gamr cookin

[cedar quest]

byeagh

Tee I've done it

[ashen sapphire]

dtufyifdjykuigfkcuig;v THE ROLE IS THE TINY KINGDRA IM CRYING

look at him he's baby

[frail bramble]

bro didnt sleep

[sly gorge]

not a single 2

[tulip tusk]

AWW LITTLE GUY

[sly gorge]

but no 5's either

I will fucking take that

[cedar quest]

Kiwi did that one

Oh also, if you see yours and it's missing the memory, lmk

Because it means we could not find it from you

[subtle moss]

Apparently the person who gave me a 2 on one of my entries gave me a 5 on the other one

[cedar quest]

And therefore it was...harder to judge

[subtle moss]

so I guess my sprites are diverse...?

[sly gorge]

23rd place

[tulip tusk]

my boy is in 7th, hell yeah

[sly gorge]

I think that's my first time breaking into the top 50

I'll have to check how many entries there were though

71 entries

so maybe it's not as impressive

[subtle moss]

23rd doesn't tell the whole story considering the amount of entries that got the same score

[sly gorge]

but hey I'll take that as a W

[subtle moss]

If you combine them you're difinitely in the top 10

[sly gorge]

well I'm the only person who got 37 points so like

idk

[subtle moss]

i can say that as I know my 35 point one got me shared 10th place I think

[cloud pulsar]

i hope

[tulip tusk]

6th* apparently spreadsheet counts the top as the first vgbhnj

[cloud pulsar]

i wanna participate but this shit is too hard

[subtle moss]

so yours would technically be... 8th place.

[tulip tusk]

congrats to the other 43 points people too cfvgbhn

[cedar quest]

You know what, screw the nap

[sly gorge]

I'd steer more towards theoretically

[cedar quest]

I'll do the write-up rq, and get this goin'

Gimme like 15 m

[subtle moss]

yeah that sounds about right

[frail bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/sleep-is-for-the-week-weak-sleep-dont-need-to-sleep-season3-gif-15439250

[sly gorge]

you should not sleep for 48 hours and then spend the next 24 hours barely functioning

and then sleep

[mellow meadow]

wow soreile winning another contest, shocker

jokes aside, congrats on the win, the sprite is amazing

[lyric hill]

I mean I think it looks good, I just don't think you gave it the explanation it needed for the theme, since it needed to be a pokemon related one

[civic mauve]

Terminal Awareness hates Bruxmas confirmed

[wind matrix]

@steady pasture 😂

[civic mauve]

Yeah that was the best one xD

[cedar quest]

((I feel like that should be obvious who it is, it's like the least disguised name in the world ))

[wind matrix]

@mortal void Some staff REALLY liked your clefairy. I'm surprised it didn't win

[nimble robin]

The winning sprite of Secret Spriter 2023 is really ugly - I think the Sunflora one should have won.

[crude cedar]

my guy all sprites r awesome

[wind matrix]

don't be mean

[civic mauve]

Clearly it’s known Bruxish hater @tall moss

[wind matrix]

It was actually me

[nimble robin]

Can I vote for the Jynx sprite last challenge too?

[frail bramble]

reveal me ur name 🔫

[wind matrix]

you can't vote for pervious contests

[wind matrix]

I didn't actually vote lol

[civic mauve]

You didn’t vote And after I went to all the trouble to make a Bruxish to pander to you and @pastel fog

[tall moss]

is it too late to vote

[frail bramble]

lmao why?

[tall moss]

to give it negative points

[nimble robin]

How about I vote for a Skuntank contest to start...

[wind matrix]

I don't even like bruxish

[tall moss]

(disclaimer idek what sprite were talkin about

[wind matrix]

I just felt like I wouldn't be able to give a fair vote to everyone

[frail bramble]

bruh

[wind matrix]

Skuntank's not even in IF

[frail bramble]

ty for the 5 on my sprite xD

[nimble robin]

Gotta get some hype for Skuntank somehow...

[crude cedar]

non-if contest when

[wind matrix]

never :>

[cedar quest]

....;)

((Not today))

[nimble robin]

I'm not interesting in giving up for Skuntank.

Not interested.

Will continue.

[wind matrix]

We're not even adding mons to IF

[civic mauve]

This is greatest betrayal since learning @hazy chasm didn’t actually like Bergmite

[wind matrix]

mehehehehehe!

[cedar quest]

wtf

[frail bramble]

skuntank/koffing frfr

[cedar quest]

Is this true????? D:

[wind matrix]

I just fought for bruxish because it was such a great troll :>

[civic mauve]

@pastel fog tell me you at least actually liked Bruxish. Or was I the only one?

[cedar quest]

Man, I was supposed to be done writing by now...but this one is a bit harder for me to write

I'm on a line balacing it between Rule 5 and the story I wanna tell

[civic mauve]

Y’all are getting called out next Bruxmas

[zealous pendant]

I like bruxfish

[bronze vine]

Me too lol

[cedar quest]

Next???

[frail bramble]

reveal me ur name now

[crude cedar]

next bruxmas will be miniormas idk what u mean

[wind matrix]

Pix couldn't vote cause they entered

[frail bramble]

whatt

[cedar quest]

yep

Staff who entered can't vote, 'tis my rules

[frail bramble]

bruh, gordo voted ryt?

[cedar quest]

Yep

I didn't enter tho

[frail bramble]

#event-general message

ig gordo is memento cuz of the highest 5s and total

[versed ridge]

Congrats to the winners

[pastel fog]

I genuinely love Bruxish and will buy a sitting cutie plushie of it once it comes out

[versed ridge]

My name is no longer off blue

[hazy chasm]

idk y i didnt like it lol its so cute

[versed ridge]

How many times has soreile won these anyway

They should be banned from contests so others have a chance to win

[zealous pendant]

Just sprite better

[wind matrix]

contest where past winners can't enter when?

[versed ridge]

It would be pretty funny

[tranquil fable]

Pls, it's the only chance I have to be in a descent position

I'm not saying I am bad, but some people here are REALLY good

[zealous pendant]

call it the losers contest

[wind matrix]

I had a shot to win before the server blew up. But now there's too many amazing artists

[cedar quest]

I've gotten like 3rd once

[cyan gull]

I always have a shot

[tranquil fable]

I need the winner badge for my collection

[cyan gull]

I just give my shot to the winners

[wind matrix]

I got 4th once :>

[cedar quest]

Ironically was in my first contest I entered.

I peaked at my first

[versed ridge]

I'm just glad I won 1 contest at all so now I won't feel pressured to join any future ones 🥹

[crude cedar]

maybe ill win the best single pixel contest

[cedar quest]

Almost done, got some help from Howls and Cristata

[wary canopy]

joltik contest where instead of twelve colors max people are allowed to only use twelve pixels max

[cedar quest]

They doin' a lil proofread for me

[crude cedar]

best entry

[cedar quest]

You aren't entirely wrong

Not to that extreme

But not entirely wrong

[crude cedar]

smh i sprited inverse utah

[eager wyvern]

joltik but its just 2 pixels

[steady pasture]

Ayo bruh, wtf

[civic mauve]

I tied for first but lost the tiebreaker I’ve gotten on the podium once or twice tho iirc

[steady pasture]

I'm still at work so i can't see the results

[wind matrix]

there's a coloum explaining what the memory is

[steady pasture]

I still played Pogo tho, just not as long as what other ppl did

Fck... i wonder what's my score

[wind matrix]

you got a 34

[steady pasture]

Out of 50?

[wind matrix]

winner got a 48

[steady pasture]

Ooh, so an average. As long as it's not below average

[wind matrix]

yeah

[steady pasture]

Thanks

[wind matrix]

your haxerous on the other hand got a 43

and tied for 4th place

[limpid sphinx]

im ready

[rapid knot]

Pokemon Ranger sprite

[tranquil fable]

This is my entry

[frail bramble]

can u put it in #sprite-gallery ? joltik custom base

[limpid sphinx]

ofc

[wind matrix]

no cause it would go in #assets-gallery

[frail bramble]

ohk

[timber jewel]

My sprite did better than I expected

[wind matrix]

and have to go through #1050404143807873157

[limpid sphinx]

its a joltik/unown

[frail bramble]

if it goes in there the only suggestion will be to increase its size

[limpid sphinx]

u cant see the "w"?

😂

[frail bramble]

pun intended?

[thick harness]

Loving this new contest theme; amazing what you can accomplish with just twelve pixels

[cyan gull]

...is this?

[wary canopy]

we have found our winner

[thick harness]

Woo! thought for sure it'd be another loss

[versed ridge]

Why is it swedish

[cedar quest]

NOOOOOO

CURSE YOU AUTO THE AUTO-MODDDD

[limpid sphinx]

☠️

[crude cedar]

HAHA

WAIT NO

[wintry mauve]

WHAT LMAO

[crude cedar]

IS IT THAT BAD???

[cedar quest]

NO NOT REALLY

Imma see if it's just the 1 paragraph that's triggering it

[tulip jungle]

Oh wow, my smeargle got closer than I thought it would congrats everyone! That was a super fun prompt

[steady pasture]

Wait, oh god damn, i wasn't expecting much from a haphazardous effort, but that's probably my best result yet

[versed ridge]

I don't really have that many memories with this franchise so I couldn't participate 🥹

And any memories that are worth note probably would get me muted for violating a rule

[frail bramble]

ayo is that...

[steady pasture]

Those are the best kind tho

[versed ridge]

True but I don't wanna get muted again

[rapid knot]

I have plenty of great memories
But I didn't have contest motivation

I am ready for the next one, though

[versed ridge]

A part of me did wonder if Palworld related memories would count

[cedar quest]

Huuuge text this time, it's the finale after all

[crude cedar]

64 x 64??

WHAT

[sturdy mirage]

owh nyo the crazy one is talking again.. dayum those preachers!

[cedar quest]

Yep

[rapid knot]

[versed ridge]

So does it HAVE to be 64x64 or is that just a bonus thing

[frail bramble]

wdym by 64x64?

[sturdy mirage]

ur funny wacky triangle wont sway me

[crude cedar]

it HAS to be

[frail bramble]

64x64 canvas?

[light ravine]

alright gang, matrix themed sprite

[rapid knot]

So, you sprite it in 64x64, then resize the canvas to 96x96, and then you resize the image to 288x288

[civic mauve]

Me who usually works in 32x32 outside of Pokémon stuff

[cedar quest]

Correct!~

[nova nebula]

sprite your lil dude like a gen 3 sprite

[subtle moss]

interesting twist

[frail bramble]

k got it 👍

[crude cedar]

man im about to have that square dragonite ong

[cedar quest]

I told you this one was simpler

[versed ridge]

I guess now's a good time to make another Palworld sprite then

[rapid knot]

Trapinch is probably about to get a lot of attention...

[versed ridge]

(cage included)

[crude cedar]

hey diglett
pal

[subtle moss]

One of my two entries for the previous contest would fit this one too:

[wind matrix]

we finally dug deep enough

[frail bramble]

meme references work?

[subtle moss]

except for the size thing

[crude cedar]

what pokemon have arena trap or shadow tag

[rapid knot]

This guy was born a few months too early for this theme

[versed ridge]

Wobuffet

[frail bramble]

wobbufet

loll

[nova nebula]

64x64 fanart

[crude cedar]

diglett line, trapinch, and wynaut line all work

[nova nebula]

[wind matrix]

trapinch, diglett, and wynaut

[crude cedar]

mega gengar too ig

[frail bramble]

man cofagrigus gonna get some attention now

[versed ridge]

Actually I could do a jjk sprite

[frail bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/just-get-in-the-coffin-gif-24008491

[versed ridge]

I just remembered one scene that would work perfectly for this

[frail bramble]

ayo

[nova nebula]

jk jk heres the biter

[crude cedar]

realthree ur girafarig/muk would've also been perfect

[frail bramble]

the inverse?

[cedar quest]

Just because you have 64x64 doesn;t mean you still need to use the whole 64x64

[frail bramble]

yea lol

[crude cedar]

dusknoir works too

[cedar quest]

Kaiju Meta is....kil

[wide flower]

the 35 trapinch fusions i made this week were born too early

[rapid knot]

Arceus is trapped in a fence

[nova nebula]

okay okay i gotcha

[civic mauve]

This needs to happen

[tranquil fable]

Why again...

[rapid knot]

No crazy NTM-style sprites this time...

[frail bramble]

honestly, who all read the situation or smth written above the actual contest info xD?

[civic mauve]

I’m pretty excited about this limitation actually. I like working on small canvases ^^

[tranquil fable]

And huh, I guess I got it right, in the most literal way

[cloud pulsar]

64x64 GG

[crude cedar]

an aquarium sprite would go hard

[rapid knot]

I'm opening every potential body mon in a tab

[frail bramble]

man i alr got a cool idea

[nova nebula]

jk heres trapvantula

[rapid knot]

My computer's gonna be running overtime

There's too many ideas

[frail bramble]

opened forretress?

[cedar quest]

winner!

[rapid knot]

With a contest like this, concept is half the battle

[steady pasture]

Concept: Mr mime trapped in a 64x64 canvas

[cedar quest]

I put work into writing a fun story for the series

[frail bramble]

the canvas is the invisible trap

[steady pasture]

Tldr

[cedar quest]

Never

[crude cedar]

what if i made gardevoir/registeel where theres a gardevoir with a broken time machine

[nova nebula]

mewowth wants out of this canvas immediately

[rapid knot]

Okay, I've narrowed to down to ten body mon options

[steady pasture]

The tricky part is figuring what the other material will be

[nova nebula]

[not shown: mewowth wanting back in the moment it's let out]

[crude cedar]

i know i will use dusknoir

[frail bramble]

#event-general message

[thick harness]

I think i've thought of my first contest entry; pretty excited! And I actually have time to sprite for it this time

[rapid knot]

That's the opposite of trapped
That's freed

[frail bramble]

oppened forretress tab?

xD

[hazy chasm]

uh oh

64x64 dang

[rapid knot]

Forretress is not on my list

[steady pasture]

Tie up Gardevoir or Lopunny with rope/vines

[limpid sphinx]

i did this so u guys can know where place your sprite in a 96x96 canvas, idk if its really needed but well, i feel like it can help someone
96x96 and 288x288 btw

[hazy chasm]

i got ideas though

[frail bramble]

rule 2!!!!!

[steady pasture]

They're just trapped, what's rule 2 abt that?

Do explain

[crude cedar]

share the list plz

[steady pasture]

In details

[cedar quest]

SMHSMH Torre same braincell

[limpid sphinx]

NO WAY

[versed ridge]

Actually I think I could do a terraria reference

Bound Stylist time

[frail bramble]

nah jk i just dont wanna explain it works

[versed ridge]

(it will be yet another melo

[crude cedar]

hypno/dusknoir could work

[steady pasture]

Another concept, a snowglobe, but the lack of snow related Pokemon might make thia tricky

[limpid sphinx]

i did as just a colored square cuz i feel like ppl can dont get if the line is part of the limit or the actual limitator lmaooo

[rapid knot]

I shouldn't give my ideas away, but
Shelgon, Duosion, Glalie, Phantump, Registeel, Dhelmise, Palossand, Dusknoir, Azurill, or Spritomb

[frail bramble]

charizard ofc

[frail bramble]

char vs poli ref from anime...

[steady pasture]

Idk what's that

[robust dagger]

I'm shoving a silly little guy in a glass box thing

[steady pasture]

I also can't search atm

[subtle moss]

can confirm this has tripped me up before.

[rapid knot]

My next step is to choose a fusion for each body mon
Then I will have ten fusions to choose from

[tranquil fable]

Where can I shove a candle...

[crude cedar]

what if i have a small silly cyrus getting taken away by giratina

[frail bramble]

it gets frozen... and ash saves him aftr sometime

[nova nebula]

what do you mean this isnt appealing

[steady pasture]

I honestly might do that Mr Mime concept i mentioned earlier as soon as i figure out what other material to use

[crude cedar]

beauty and the beast?

[nova nebula]

lopunny is in the bowl of spaghettis now

[limpid sphinx]

XD happens

[crude cedar]

lumiere was trapped in the candles body

i thinkl

[versed ridge]

Nvm I'll just stick with my original idea

[tranquil fable]

I'm not sure if that candle gets stuck

WAIT

CHANDELURE

[frail bramble]

its the episode where the charizard's laziness/hatred towads ash decreases

[tranquil fable]

THE FLAME FROM CHANDELURE AND LAMPENT ARE STUCK

I CAN MAKE A LITTLE LITWICK STUCK INSIDE A CHANDELURE

(Or some other mon ig)

[versed ridge]

I will make The Honored One

[steady pasture]

My memories of the old school Pokemom anime are fck'd

[versed ridge]

But it will be another meloetta because I'm just that guy

[frail bramble]

mine too, had to squeeze ma brain for that msg

we will see many electrode fusions.... ig

[steady pasture]

As long as u can fit that Chandelure in 64x64, go nuts

[wintry mauve]

he has a small chandelure

[wind matrix]

p sure this square is bigger then 64x64

[tranquil fable]

[crude cedar]

this gives me an idea. idk why tho

[steady pasture]

Now u gotta squeeze litwick inside it lol

[tranquil fable]

Micro Litwick

[steady pasture]

Wouldn't Lampent be better though? U can make those medieval metal laterns with Litwick as the candle

[wind matrix]

you guys are all making joltiks right?

[tranquil fable]

OH YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME

[naive summit]

its cleffa time

[tranquil fable]

DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT'S THE SIZE OF CHANDELURE?

[crude cedar]

rahh i need an unique idea

[rapid knot]

There's too many good shelgon bodies

[tranquil fable]

64x65

[crude cedar]

watching atla is not helping me ong

[versed ridge]

Nah
I'd Giratina

[pine light]

Chandlure and eigaslash

[wind matrix]

Giratina/joltik

[rapid knot]

That's it
I'm gonna fill up a picture with the autogens of all my ideas

[tranquil fable]

Ooo nice idea

[steady pasture]

Like the Skyrim lanterns

[versed ridge]

This is assuming I even have time to make a sprite

[tranquil fable]

YES, thanks

[pine light]

Oh that makes sense

[versed ridge]

Cuz I'm pretty busy this week so idk if I'll even be able to participate

[crude cedar]

hm..

[robust dagger]

Since I'm making the glass transparent on purpose, should I tint it or just keep it as white stained glass

[tranquil fable]

And the best part of all: I can also use this one for the SFX contest

[robust dagger]

I'm thinking yellow glass but I dunno

[limpid sphinx]

@cedar quest what if 32x32?

[crude cedar]

OH EM GEE

[limpid sphinx]

i feel like 64 is too big

[crude cedar]

i have an idea.

[limpid sphinx]

xd

[wind matrix]

wha?

then make a smaller one. it doesn't have to take up the entire 64x64 square

[limpid sphinx]

its still time to change the rule ig

?

im joking with gamr

[wind matrix]

why u ping me then

[pine light]

This gives me an idea but I don’t know what Pokémon it would be a fusion of

[crude cedar]

meh nvm

[limpid sphinx]

i guessed that u was joking with him too....

[crude cedar]

if anyone wants a free idea, funko pops

[pine light]

Funkomon

[nova nebula]

jar

[sharp ice]

wayne

[pine light]

Miltank+sinistea

[robust dagger]

OH NO

[versed ridge]

I'm filling that jar with

glue 😁

[crude cedar]

mhm.

[nova nebula]

vulpix in jar filled to the brim with oringe juice

[sharp ice]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[nova nebula]

needs his vitamins

[sharp ice]

what you doin to my boy wayne

[tulip tusk]

I'm wondering if a "trapped in a 9-5" design can work for any fusion

[nova nebula]

the usual

[versed ridge]

Melote

[crude cedar]

what if i made my pokemon trapped in like
a kitchen

[nova nebula]

lopunny in a mcdonalds outfit that reveals literally nothing

or like

the burger king visor

[pine light]

So y’all just gonna ignore my fusion for jar

[versed ridge]

Got fired from old job and now has to work 9-5 at McDonald's

[nova nebula]

the burger king fits cool actually use that

[sharp ice]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-suspicious-look-suspicious-doubt-dog-doubt-gif-23680990

[nova nebula]

you know

[tulip tusk]

somebody better do a porygon trapped chest fusion

porygon/trapinch

[lunar comet]

can the sprite be 64x64 and not centered on the canvas?

[crude cedar]

wait let me cook ( i wont cook)

[lunar comet]

like this for example (96x96 canvas w/ 64x64 square inside, not scaled up)

@cedar quest

[naive summit]

the position of it on the canvas is irrelevant except for ingame purposes

so long as it fits within 64x64 it should be fine

[mortal void]

oh damn, I need to check my feedback, I'm still just shocked that my little gen1 guy got third I thought clefairy would have been my stronger entry! goddamn, well chuffed either way though, first time hitting the podium!

[nova nebula]

welcome to burger king how may i take your order

[robust dagger]

I decided to go with a yellow tint on the glass, spritework thread incoming

[hazy chasm]

I have a idea: picture this paint trying to escape a canvas Smeargle/Muk

[unborn seal]

i am making the pits of hell

[crude cedar]

what do you call the grey things that fancy things r covered with

fancy foods

[unborn seal]

idk what they're called but ik what you're talking about

[crude cedar]

this thingy

idk how to shade them rahhh

[naive summit]

like metal

[crude cedar]

its like rounded tho

[naive summit]

its still metal

just round metal.

[rapid knot]

cloche

[crude cedar]

THANK YE

[versed ridge]

Why is it's torso so big

[nova nebula]

the shirt is not vacuum sealed to lopunnys body since its from spare stock

no boob allowed

[full estuary]

It's so over

I'm making an arena trap joke

And placing last

[wind matrix]

congrats! but yeah, secret staff leak :>

[cedar quest]

That was the original remember?

[hazy chasm]

I wonder who commented this on my sprite🤔 This is the greatest betrayal since learning Kiwi didn't actually like Bruxish. Love both the sprite and the memory! Here's hoping we get Bergmite for real soon ^^ lol

[cedar quest]

Yeah that's fine

[wind matrix]

I have a suspect :>

[cedar quest]

Although....not sure why you'd want to do that

[full estuary]

Moving it to the bottom left corner

[limpid sphinx]

OHHH yea

truth

the last one that should be 64

maybe u can do it one day

the series losted son

[sick herald]

is the 64x64 like a requirement?

[limpid sphinx]

"gone"

[limpid sphinx]

yep its mandatory

[sick herald]

fuuuuu

[wind matrix]

how many square sprites are we gonna get?

[sly shuttle]

I’d say most of them

[sick herald]

anyways Soreile with another dub

[harsh obsidian]

Imagine if the storyline in this contest series is building up to the announcement of a new Mon

[rapid knot]

We dug all this way, can't we just use Dig to escape the cave?

[sick herald]

we enter a volcanic chamber, where we either find torkoal (yippee) or heatran (boo)

[harsh obsidian]

I feel like it would be a mon that will be able to dig us out

[versed ridge]

Don't diss my fire frog boi like that

OU staple for 13 years right there

[sick herald]

torkoal is superior

[gaunt sigil]

Do both of the sprites have to fit in the 64x64 or just one

[versed ridge]

He hasn't been OU for as long so incorrect

[shrewd garnet]

torkoal cant learn dig :(

[versed ridge]

Why did it self ping

[harsh obsidian]

||excadrill perhaps||

[versed ridge]

If excadrill gets in I'm fusing it with Torterra to make another Palworld sprite

👍

[sick herald]

while frogs are quite cool, we need more turtles so i can make the teenage mutant ninja turtles

[shrewd garnet]

only remaining pokemon not in if that learn dig 🤔
hippowdon line
excadrill line
durant
diggersby line
zygarde
vikavolt line

[versed ridge]

Imagine if it's zygarde

[shrewd garnet]

god if onl

would that mean the other kalos legends get in too?

[versed ridge]

Only if the rest of the Light trio get in too

[harsh obsidian]

Imagine if we were getting durant

[lusty pewter]

I got 17th and 28th place

[sick herald]

would make sense

Z-A

[gaunt sigil]

Can we fuse it with something to make Kevin

[rapid knot]

I narrowed it down to 17 fusions for me to choose from

[sick herald]

nah, necrozma got in without lunala and solgaleo

[versed ridge]

You're probably thinking of a different Kevin than I am

[sick herald]

kevin durant

[shrewd garnet]

zygarde has like four forms and we can barely handle necrozma's two 🤔

[rapid knot]

https://tenor.com/view/home-alone-catherine-o-hara-kate-mc-callister-pass-out-faint-gif-12025236

[lusty pewter]

Although idk how that compares to when the contest had up to the last staff voted contest... iirc that one has a lot more people joining

[versed ridge]

3

I don't think we're counting the core

[gaunt sigil]

Are you thinking of home alone or basketball

[shrewd garnet]

cell, dog, snake, mecha

[versed ridge]

Something else

[gaunt sigil]

What Kevin

[shrewd garnet]

or ben 10

[gaunt sigil]

Ohhh

[versed ridge]

I don't think they'd implement the cell as a playable mon

So it's just dog snake mech

[shrewd garnet]

fair

[sick herald]

kevin from the office

[harsh obsidian]

I feel there will be a lot of cofagrigus entries for this contest

[versed ridge]

They're permanent forms too so it'd probably work like oricorio

[gaunt sigil]

Do I work on the competition or do I make the prevo to my #1215102055866306610

[shrewd garnet]

i wonder how itd work for like head fusions since all of them have the same color scheme and general vibe

[hazy chasm]

both incorporate the prevo to the challenges

[gaunt sigil]

That might be do-able

[sick herald]

im thinking of a water prison fusion, like a magic trick

[harsh obsidian]

What do you think that reveal would look like?

[sick herald]

with cofagrigus, but idk what the head pokemon would be

[hazy chasm]

Paint trapped on a canvas is becoming a cool idea

[versed ridge]

Iono (idk)

[sick herald]

im thinking using lopunny bc its a magic trick, but the colour scheme wouldn't line up

nvm i cant cofagrigus is too big

[steady pasture]

Huh, there was surprisingly only 70 entries? Was the theme too hard?

[tranquil fable]

Just make it smaller

[tranquil fable]

Everybody had burnout because of the wave of contests

[steady pasture]

Also surprised that the Pikachu/Lapras Red concept didn't score higher, it looked really good and was clever

[sick herald]

truuuue, or i could not enter the contest bc i'd lose

[lapis sparrow]

I just thought of a really stupid idea, but someone could make some springtrap sprite as a submission to the prompt and that'd be hilarious

Or literally anything Fnaf

[cedar quest]

You don't got any Pokemon that know it

[limpid sphinx]

its juse use my own hands >:)

[lyric hill]

How about teleport?

[tranquil fable]

Just use the Debugger item that everyone has

[acoustic saddle]

soreile already won twice, might as well just let them win the last contest

[tranquil fable]

#1215118368114352158 he's so sad :(

Also comes with a base in case anyone want to make other sad, stuck Litwicks

[regal palm]

https://tenor.com/view/cooking-chef-kitchen-penguin-cook-gif-6762191156963652554

[sick herald]

im thinking of doing a sisyphus one but it'd be bigger than 64x64

man that requirement is rlly being a pain

or like a ball and chain

[icy jasper]

I wonder if spiritomb would be a popular fusion choice in this contest

[sick herald]

might do registeel/azumarill or a ball and chain

damn azumarill barely fits in 64x64

[shrewd garnet]

does the mon have to incorporate the theme of "trapped," or can anybody that fits the 64x64 box work for the contest?

[wind matrix]

The sprite has to fit the theme somehow. If you can figure out a way to make it work, then do it :>

[shrewd garnet]

so the one i just speedran making wont count then /lh

[wind matrix]

it might? i dunno what it is

[shrewd garnet]

#1215124131029323817 wawa

[wind matrix]

How is it trapped?

[shrewd garnet]

it isnt i just thought it had to fit the 64x64 box and that was it

[wind matrix]

LOL

Time to make a new one

Is a cute sprite tho

[shrewd garnet]

perhaps i could make a mr mime stuck an invisible box 🤔

[wind matrix]

[shrewd garnet]

anyone can steal that idea if they want lol

[steady pasture]

Yeah, it was a concept i suggested earlier

was planning to do it myself when i figured what would be the other material

But feel free to go for it yourself

[shrewd garnet]

there can be two >:3

[steady pasture]

Damn, my Pogo concept did poorer than i had hoped given the effort for that background...

StufRUs did far better than i expected

[acoustic saddle]

trapped in clown makeup

[steady pasture]

Waiting for someone to tie up Gardevoir or Lopunny in ropes/vines

[wind matrix]

[shrewd garnet]

that does give me an idea tho 🤔

[steady pasture]

Do eet

[icy jasper]

I like it how there's the limit of working in a 64x64 size , kinda reminds me of spriting in the gen2 artstyle (although the maximum size of a battle sprite there is 56x56)

[hollow gull]

I'm trying to figure out how

[steady pasture]

how......?

[hollow gull]

to not interpret this literally

OOOOOOOO

[steady pasture]

Alternatively u could take it too literally

[hollow gull]

it's a pokemon trapped in debt

broke little guy

or trapped by societal convention

[sharp ice]

Bro owes money to the bank in Treasure Town

[hollow gull]

literally so real

what do broke people look like

[sharp ice]

sad, i think

[hollow gull]

maybe I could do like a gambler

Like he's in debt cause gambling addiction

not trying to make light of it or anything

[lunar comet]

should i make my entry based on an ancient flash game that is
-not pokemon related at all
-not well-known at all
-i have a lot of personal nostalgia for it
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/221769

[hollow gull]

just like casinos, dice, dominoes, cards

cool theming

[shrewd garnet]

alr so what im going with in the end is totally different from the idea i mentiond here so feel free to steal it:
tangela line head fusion where the body mon is trapped in the vines

[fading fiber]

so like, would a victreebel/vaporeon be a double trap? cus i think thats what imma do

[acoustic saddle]

:v does riolu dying on a glue trap fit with the theme

[steady pasture]

Golem would make an execellent material for generic x pokemon trapped by rocks concept

[acoustic saddle]

btw @wind matrix , the 64x64 box, can we move it around in the 96x96 cavas, or it must be in the middle

[wind matrix]

you can move it around

but the entire sprite must still fit in the box

[acoustic saddle]

||64 x 64 would be 4096 pixels, what if my sprite total pixel is less or equal to that, but it isnt in 64x64, would it still count ||

[acoustic saddle]

i got ninjaed 😔

does pokemon creepy pasta count with the theme?

[odd garnet]

Brb
Gonna make a stunfisk

Lol

kidding

[shrewd garnet]

#1215138982191570974 alr lets try this again

[steady pasture]

Still not sure what to use for the Mr Mime concept...

[errant yarrow]

maybe a self fusion where it is too good at making invisible walls?

[lunar comet]

i've got it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw8Xs0sllHI

[steady pasture]

Trapinch for the name, Kecleon for the concept, Natu or Magikarp for the expression, or Snorlax for the trapped chunk

[steady pasture]

Not a fan of self-fusions, so i won't be doing it for events

[errant yarrow]

I like the kecleon idea! The magikarp face sounds really funny though

[plucky arch]

am i allowed to just submit this for the contest

ignore hbomberguy

i was going to draw mr mime but after the feet i gave up and switched to among us

[wide flower]

hello hbomberguy

[wraith dune]

so this is my first event that Ican take place in my question is does everything have to be 100% original right? no bases from others

[lunar comet]

it is done

#1215161349332541500

[lusty pewter]

I've seen people use free-to-use assets in the past but not so sure now. I think it's allowed but it could make the sprite less "unique" since it's a custom base used on other sprite

[wraith dune]

right thats what I thought but wasnt sure

not even sure what I would do yet for the contest lol

[sick herald]

i have seen aproximately two submissions and im already feeling bad about my idea lmao

[steady pasture]

Just realized... u could also make a Futurama reference, with the frozen main character meme, if u're able to squeeze it into 64x64, or even this dood from Marvel

[sick herald]

thats antman lmao

[lusty pewter]

from this point forward he shall be known as "this dood from Marvel"

anyone who disagrees gets the hammer... the banned kind

[acoustic saddle]

thats clearly a man

i see no ant

[sacred sequoia]

thats a dood idk wym

[steady pasture]

64x64 is bigger than i thought. Or rather maybe Mr. Mime is smaller than i remember. I can't "squeeze" it into the "box" if it's too small. Maybe i should try using Snorlax body instead

[slender thunder]

Time to make a gen 3 sprite

[acoustic saddle]

:v oops wrong ping

@slender thunder

[slender thunder]

[acoustic saddle]

look like a but-

button :v

[steady pasture]

Idk, looks right to me

[lyric hill]

Hmmm I think I have an interesting idea for this...whether it will actually work or not idk

This one's more abstract that I can think of normally...and I thought the other two weren't all too abstract

[sly gorge]

I hate myself for thinking this was somehow skibidi toilet

[broken robin]

is it bad that I literally got inspired by this comment (its not a skibidi toilet but maybe. resembles a toilet. a bit)

[steady pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-monkey-puppet-meme-awkward-gif-8259086320683337215

[broken robin]

its FINE

I wasnt actually going to enter the contest until I read that

[lusty pewter]

which mean you are planning to join the contest now that you read that

[broken robin]

yes

[sly gorge]

If it's a head sticking out of something, then it must be skibidi toilet

[broken robin]

you'll see

[sly gorge]

Oh and also

They said the contest themes would be "much darker"

The only dark part about the this and the last contest are the descriptions

Which, in other words, that shit ain't dark at all 😭

[broken robin]

im going to be honest. I did not read the lore

[sly gorge]

I feel lied to

[versed ridge]

When do we get the gore contest

[steady pasture]

Neither did i tbh

Something something thunder, something something scary, something someth- yeah yeah, lemme see who won, and what's the next theme

[sly gorge]

Didn't mean it like that

But like

If you're gonna say the next two contests are gonna be "much darker" then don't just make the descriptions"dark"

Best the mods can come up with is "some guy shattered their leg on a rock" 😭

Not that I'm complaining idrc I just feel slightly mislead

[wraith dune]

I feel like there is more than one contest going on because people have multiple names going on for contests

Like one is called Trapped but I've never seen that one

[wispy grove]

Instinctively when I think of trapped I think of the actual pokemon lore meaning mew/Mewtwo, or the legendary birds, or latias/latios...
Or pokemon which are trapped by nature, like spiritomb, drifloon, froslass, phantump, yamask or cofagrigus

[broken robin]

I will say the mon I picked is none of these

[wispy grove]

That's because you're a free thinker and a creator

[broken robin]

so true

[wraith dune]

But where did that contest come from is where I'm confused

[broken robin]

#event-announcements message

Trapped is the main contest running atm (for contest roles)

there are also 2 'unnoffical'? I guess contests on, the SFX contest and the Milan Royale

[wraith dune]

Ahh that's where I got confused I thought the new one was in too deep as the next step for going deeper

[wispy grove]

In too deep and trapped

Both

[wraith dune]

Ok my bad

[wispy grove]

No you're right these two are different and it's a little confusing

[wraith dune]

I'm tempted to play around with Larvitar which is one of my favorites

[wispy grove]

That sounds very cool!

[broken robin]

no the contest is called in too deep, but the actual theme is Trapped

its one thing

[wispy grove]

The last three contests were like that
Like, "going somewhere" was actually fusions that resembled a place
Not a traveling pokemon

I'm tempted to do an underwater chain thing with dhelmise to try and hit both trapped and in too deep like literally

[acoustic saddle]

:v u going too deep so u r trapped

Claustrophobia moment

[wispy grove]

That direction is true but a Mon that is like. Trapped in a cage, isn't going too deep

[acoustic saddle]

in too deep is the event name. but trapped is the event theme

[wispy grove]

Yeah

[timber jewel]

Rolling in the deep contest letsgo

[broken robin]

ok, finished my idea

[wispy grove]

I feel off about it because exactly, trapped is the theme, but they gave us so much event lore with this entire story that is somewhat detached from what the entries end up being

[timber jewel]

My entry: just a Kakuna

[acoustic saddle]

:v maybe we will have extra lore, a glimpse of hope some where ( do not steal :^)

[timber jewel]

I was going to do something with the Old Amber and Geodude evo line but I just saw those are already existing sprites

[timber jewel]

Maybe I can still do something with it tho

[red vigil]

Can I sprite one the box or it is only inside ?

[timber jewel]

I assume the pixels that make the box do count

[near tree]

does he look traped in ice??

[wind matrix]

not really

[lusty pewter]

it just looks like shinx is surrounded by snowflakes and sparkles with a little bit of their body frozen

[olive sentinel]

Really wonder what you are going to so with that 1 extra pixel

[olive sentinel]

Body frozen...
Like that luxray?

[lusty pewter]

if you put half the of shinx body in ice it def would look more frozen in place

[red vigil]

Nothing from now, juste for asking

[near tree]

im gonna frost it more

[lusty pewter]

what luxray?

[olive sentinel]

Idk the size of the box but I'll assume its 65x65 so you sprite within it

[olive sentinel]

Oh no...you dont know about it

[lusty pewter]

no I don't XD

[olive sentinel]

Google it
Or search in youtube actually

[timber jewel]

Gotta squeeze as many pixels as possible in the box lmao

[lusty pewter]

is it this?

[olive sentinel]

Me omw to make 26x26 sprite:
"Yes the box"

[timber jewel]

Me omw to make a 345x567 sprite:
"Rules are meant to be broken"

As of now.... it's not very n-ice

[lusty pewter]

aah... I don't think I ever watched that movie yeah

[icy osprey]

i scared my cat because i suddenly laughed out loud reading that 😭

[timber jewel]

I think I'll make a joke entry where I draw a sprite outside the box, literally thinking outside the box

[lusty pewter]

cat favorability: -5

[near tree]

frozent leg

https://tenor.com/view/cat-swimming-poopsie-silly-gif-14546589990767279660

@timber jewel should work more with the ice?

[acoustic saddle]

:0 whats that

[lusty pewter]

imo it still need more ice, having one leg frozen def give a vibe of being stuck but not to the point of being trapped

[near tree]

[dense jackal]

Ok... Read through like 500 messages and I'm still not 100% sure about some things:

1. the event message says both "within 64x64" and "on 64x64" - the first could mean it's functionally 62x62
2. is the example box 64x64 itself? And therefore do you work within the lines or onto the lines?
3. why so many people are boasting about not reading the event messages - like not reading a little story is something to be proud of
   (I'm reading all your lore every time @cedar quest thank you for your efforts )

[lusty pewter]

you make a 64x64 sprite but on the regular 96x96 canvas, I haven't checked the size of the square yet but it's used to help visualize the size of a 64x64 canvas

as for no reading the story... weird people exist

[wind matrix]

pokemon fans can't read

[dawn arch]

yes

also, if someone(that can sprite, unlike me) wants any ideas... i just remembered mr. mime

[wind matrix]

caffen's already doing it

[dawn arch]

well there can be more than one(1) entries with similar concepts i believe, specially if they come up with the concepts for themselves

[steady pasture]

Tldr

[cyan gull]

I like to think the box is the tie-in to my own headcanon

which is Going Ghost

[steady pasture]

I can't claim a concept, especially one that just has Mr Mime as the material

Ppl are free to STEAL my concepts

[cyan gull]

wdym? I own Ditto

[dense jackal]

Also, my sincere thanks to the organiser of the voting spreadsheet who put my sprite at the top of the details list so that i didn't have to scroll anywhere

[lusty pewter]

lol nice

[cedar quest]

the example box is 64x64

Your sprite can touch the edge of the 64x64 canvas, but not go over the size limit of 64x64

[cedar quest]

Never

[dense jackal]

The space or the lines? 😅

To save u the trouble, just make your sprite in a 64x64 canvas

[limpid sphinx]

or use this

[steady pasture]

then move it to a 96x96 canvas before exporting it x3

[cedar quest]

byeah

[cyan gull]

nah, scale it 4x and have it be 256x256 in game

[dense jackal]

Tbh if I actually needed the information I'd just put the box in aseprite and select it (to see the measurements) 😆
I'm mostly being difficult as a means to highlight the ambiguity in the communication in case it needs to be remedied before more people ask the same things from a position of genuine need ^^

It's like when people say about a sprite "the shading on their left arm" and you don't know if they mean viewer left or sprite left 😛
(I'm my opinion if you say "their left" you should mean the sprite's POV but I've seen people use it for the opposite pretty regularly )

[slender thunder]

Where is professor oak's lab?

[shrewd garnet]

had another idea for the contest but it only works with a non-if mon

(ekans/comfey ourorbouros)

[gleaming goblet]

how does comfey fit in the ouroboros theme?

[cyan gull]

circle

[gleaming goblet]

what about klefki or whirlipede?

[shrewd garnet]

whirlipede's too thick, klefki's already been done

[stiff viper]

Maybe I could do a Sisyphus fusion, like golem/hitmonchan or something. Trapped in a cycle or a punishment

[olive sentinel]

get creative use mew

[mortal void]

I think I'm going to go with the idea of a mousetrap....it'll be ok so long as it's lighthearted and not gory right? tbh I actually hate old school unhumane mousetraps but this will be purely tom and jerry tier harmless

[shrewd garnet]

fearow/machoke prometheus

[olive sentinel]

I am thinking of something but I dont think I can make it at all
Ill have to see

[mortal void]

sisyphus ref would be very cool

[timber jewel]

How about Dratini Ekans?

[timber jewel]

One must imagine the Spriter posting in #1050404143807873157 happy

[cedar quest]

Within and On are interchangeable in this context ((Besides why would I give y’all a 62x62 canvas????))

[timber jewel]

@mortal void It was a reference to a quote of the Myth of Sisyphus book

[dense jackal]

it's a good question to be fair

[cyan gull]

so that we can scale our sprites to 310x310, oobv

[mortal void]

ah, I'm having a brain fart kind of day

[timber jewel]

You give us the 62x62 and then say "It's a trap"

[acoustic saddle]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1215315663103467600 no escape ( unless u was terra terapagos)

[timber jewel]

That goes super hard

[wide flower]

#1215176886657744896 im worried this looks too much like scribbles

[signal stream]

FWIW looks to me like trapinch's mouth is a black hole inhaling sand

[wooden hazel]

#1215356573786972190 No escape from the Sock puppet thing

[outer hamlet]

This 64x64 twist is messing with me big time, I keep trying to pick pokemon that are too big lol

[slender thunder]

Square sprite

[olive sentinel]

there is a whole lot of smol mons to pick from

[hollow gull]

is there a pokemon that's like a hoarder? besides gimmighoul?

[wispy grove]

Sableye kinda maybe

[olive sentinel]

klefki?

[outer hamlet]

For sure, I just keep getting ideas for pokemon that are way too big to shrink into a frame 2/3 the size

[frail bramble]

gordo should i submit my entry with the 64x64 square or no?

[wide flower]

i am guessing no

[frail bramble]

k

#1215379452582830171 done with my first entry

[ashen sapphire]

hey y'all

pick one

[olive sentinel]

for what

[ashen sapphire]

fusion

I"m probably using both but for the main palette

[hollow gull]

yamask is definitely covetous

[olive sentinel]

[candid plover]

what is the sprite royale thing and what am i meant to make

around the theme of trapped? what does that entail

[zealous pendant]

Anything related to trapped
I've seen a few different interpretations

Idk what the royale is either tbh

[candid plover]

When does it end

[zealous pendant]

Which? Too Deep, or the royale?

Too Deep ends in 9 days

[molten crater]

me: I'll make ultra-necrozma for the contest, great idea!

also me: 64x64 ultra-necrozma is pain, why did I even think of this, terrible idea

[thorn dune]

The Milian Sprite Royale is St Patrick's Day themed. You can see the rules in the #1149373303669145751 section for it

[crude cedar]

so mad most of this lettuce which is taking me SO long is gonna be covered by a slowpoke tail

[regal palm]

#1215422415249604740 Despite all my rage, I'm just a bird in a cage

[wide flower]

#1215436929445928980 what do people think

[supple magnet]

Still trying to figure out an idea for this contest

Struggling

[mortal void]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1215478563663253505 can I mooch some feedback from here...?

[supple magnet]

Poor Pikachu

[mortal void]

he's fine, he's just stuck and hungry

[supple magnet]

Waiit, your sprite gave me an idea

Glue trap

[mortal void]

glad to have helped haha

I am still unsure what to do for my second entry....no more gears though

[supple magnet]

So one half is gonna be cofagrigus but what should I use for the other half? Preferably a reptilian mon

Or a snek

Waitt, ARBOK

Yass

[supple magnet]

This is gonna be painful to sprite

[mighty stump]

Are self fusions okay for contests?

[lunar comet]

yeah, no reason they wouldn't be

[crude cedar]

mum

mhm*

[cedar quest]

the only thing that isn't is triples, which is just a common place thing for contests anyways

[fossil pine]

hows it looking

[acoustic saddle]

riolu dying on a glue trap is in the making

[sick herald]

i might sit this one out (again) my ass can not think of an idea that fits in 64x64

[frosty adder]

Tbh the prompt kinda confused me, so I'll let yall have it. Maybe next event.

[uncut shadow]

I didn't participate in a contest since the meloetta one, i think i will enter this one cus i have a cool idea

[keen egret]

didn't think i'd be joining any contests soon, but then this idea hit me

[lusty pewter]

oh wow that an ingenious idea

I like it, good luck with the final result
