[warped nest]

I thought you could also do the hashtag on a single side

[cedar quest]

idk, I'm not psychic

[warped nest]

Yeah

[cedar quest]

I'll check if it was me

I don't remmeber giving it a 1 tho

[eager wyvern]

didn't even get top 100

[cedar quest]

Nope was not me

[rapid knot]

I only left comments, not votes, so nothing here is my fault

[cyan gull]

I'm not confident enough to say which column is me

[lament matrix]

Time to ignore the next 5 event cuz my brain is a persimistic piece of shit and tells me I never have the slightests chance at winning or being a good spriter
Dont worry thats just how my brain works lol

[candid plover]

what was yours

[cyan gull]

Only the one that's Blaquaza

[naive summit]

I'm column 1 (miiverse), AMA

[eager wyvern]

127, 156, 158

[warped nest]

Noooo don’t stop! I really did think it was cool. I didn’t actually vote, maybe promote that part next time ;P

[hollow grove]

Thanks so much, i worked hard on it, solgaleo and cosmog palette is not easy to work with T.T

[candid plover]

understandble

[lament matrix]

Oh I dont stop spriting lol

[eager wyvern]

what hurts me the most is that all 3 were my highest voting sprites ever in spritework, and they did so poorly

[candid plover]

lol dont fret^

[lament matrix]

||Pov you only vote 3 on my shit lol||

[rapid knot]

Yep same
It's a bit hard to want to compete again after getting 193rd place

[lament matrix]

I feel that

[eager wyvern]

i will fret, especially as the one i poured my heart into did the worst

[naive summit]

||Pov 3 is still above average||

[rapid knot]

That's happened to me more than once

[naive summit]

I default to 3 a lot though admittedly

[candid plover]

none of mine were in the 100s

[lament matrix]

Ah yes contests
The best way to break a Spriters soul

[naive summit]

true

[patent sphinx]

Free Him!

[cyan gull]

Contests are really cutthroat to begin with, and a lot of criteria are different since it's more focused (at least that's my thoughts on it)

[lament matrix]

dw I know 3 isnt dog poop

[warped nest]

That’s fair. I mean I only did one event which was the deoxys one I think. I made deoxys/tangrowth and deoxys/poliwrath. Was knocked out in the first round and didn’t participate after ;P

[cyan gull]

Anyways, I'm the 3rd column

[rapid knot]

We know we shouldn't compare ourselves to others, but still fall to the temptation every time

[naive summit]

I will say there were a lot of really good entries and it made it really hard to judge lol

[cyan gull]

Ask me anything, I won't respond either way

[worthy shuttle]

got 51st and 87th yay

[lament matrix]

You know I even expected not being so good in the end but people gave me hope lol

[slender thunder]

i got uh

flace

place

[rapid knot]

That's nice

I still sucked

[warped nest]

Flace

[slender thunder]

why am i suddenly the best typo maker

[lament matrix]

same

[eager wyvern]

i got my hopes up and everything as they were clearly some of the best sprites ive made - and well my best isn't even top 100 worthy

[naive summit]

like look how many 5's dropped, shit's wild (I tried to save them for my absolute favorites but even that was hard )

[eager wyvern]

that is a lot of 5s

[cloud pulsar]

half pixels:

[cyan gull]

I gave the most 5's, nice

[naive summit]

I have the highest average

[patent sphinx]

68th for this one I was happy with! Best placement so far in a contest

[slender thunder]

anyways I like my swooligant alot so i might draw it again as non-pixelart :3

[rapid knot]

Next april fools: Extreme anti-aliasing

[lament matrix]

My places are 84, 114 and 137

[slender thunder]

I got 163th, 148th and 85th :3

[cyan gull]

Something I should improve on next time I vote is leaving a comment on things I see potential in

[minor garnet]

aight done

[candid plover]

all of mine were above 100

[cyan gull]

A left a few comments, but I feel that I missed on some

[tall moss]

yo i got last place amazeballs

[cyan gull]

1 color challenge

[void sluice]

I'm already glad that y'all from staff found my sprites smth middly good <3

[lament matrix]

There are still people who will make art

[minor garnet]

Do I now make a discussion for my event or nah?

[slender thunder]

where's the one that is literally just dracovish

[rapid knot]

That's the extreme dithering challenge

[cyan gull]

How? I gave you AL MY POINTS

[slender thunder]

transparency allowed?

[lament matrix]

I would wonder what the Staffs individual Favorits were

[rapid knot]

It's already allowed if it's intentional

[cloud pulsar]

gen 1 style challenge

[minor garnet]

they hated it

I wouldve won with it

[crude cedar]

havent they done that before?

[cyan gull]

Idk, but I definitely have a fave up on the podium

[rapid knot]

The staff or just the voters?

[slender thunder]

yes

i love gen 1 style

[rapid knot]

That would actually be fun

[cloud pulsar]

a long while ago yes

[lament matrix]

Voters staf

#event-announcements message

[slender thunder]

next april fools: make sprites for my fakemon that i dont wanna make because im lazy

[minor garnet]

trump+landorus therian annoying orange?

[eager wyvern]

april fools 2025, make the sprites for this new game im making thats a ripoff pokémon

best sprite gets 20% off when it releases

[lament matrix]

OOOOH Fakemon fusions would actually be fun
and the Fakemons have to be from Server members

[eager wyvern]

[slender thunder]

fakemon fusion would be a funny thing tho (more blatant showcasing )

[worthy shuttle]

whaaaaaat

[lament matrix]

Best fakemon fusion gets the Fakemon in

[minor garnet]

Ill just make a fakemon (Dracovish but 1 pixel is missing)

[worthy shuttle]

for next april fools they should add every single pokemon into the game and then remove them after

[lament matrix]

I really should use a fakemon of mine for a fusion

[slender thunder]

pixelvish 🔥 🗣️🔥🔥

[minor garnet]

yes

[lament matrix]

They should replace all sprites with Bruxish drawings

[minor garnet]

Ill call it missdracovishpixel

[worthy shuttle]

ew

eewwwwww

ewwwwwwwwwwwww

https://tenor.com/view/fell-gif-11242683397767497522

#spriter-general-lounge message guys I did a thing

[patent sphinx]

Make it pokemon but its slightly off

[lament matrix]

Omg the server profil actually became non IF XD

[minor garnet]

lol

[worthy shuttle]

oh em gee

[minor garnet]

om ma gosh

[worthy shuttle]

shoulda made the icon kiwis submission

[lament matrix]

True

[minor garnet]

no they shouldve made it my dracovish

which was a 1 to 1 copy of the smogon sprite

I-II-I-I MEAN

I moved one pixel

(maybe...)

[eager wyvern]

they should've made it mine (please)

[lament matrix]

Funny enough it would have been able to stay if it was a custom base lol

[slender thunder]

I have a cool idea now

an event

where people submit fakemon

and then people make fusions with them

[minor garnet]

and dracovish

[slender thunder]

sure

it would be non-if anyways so pokemon not in the game are fair game too as long as one pokemon used is a fakemon

[minor garnet]

Ill use dracovish and my beauty i am proud of"straypurplepixelinthecornerchu"

[lament matrix]

sounds fun a mini event from the community

If someone makes such a event I would love to be in it

[crude cedar]

ill join!!

[minor garnet]

maybe next weeks theme for my reference?

[crude cedar]

make it rn or i will eat you

🥳 🥳

[slender thunder]

I wanna but idk how

[crude cedar]

#spriter-general-lounge

literally just make a drive or something to collect fakemons then like

its could be like secret spriter!!

[minor garnet]

Do this like in 3 days cuz no one would join my thing when smt cool is happening

[red vigil]

maybe a 2 part contest, 1 we make the fakemon 2 we make the fusion

and each part has a winner

[minor garnet]

I really like straypurplepixelinthecornerchu

[slender thunder]

show

[supple magnet]

One of my fusions got 56th yay

[minor garnet]

WIP

[supple magnet]

Could I participate in this? Here is my sacrifice

[lament matrix]

Im talking with my Fan game team if we want to submit 2-3 Fakemon for that lil event

[icy jasper]

can we submit fakemon that we have already made priorhand?

[lament matrix]

I would say yes cuz many more fusion options

[crude cedar]

(they aslep)

[supple magnet]

His name is Embwimp

He's s wimp

[crude cedar]

my only fakemon r in art form ahhh

and its a magcargo convergent species.

[lament matrix]

If I submit 3 fakemon, would you guys like regional evos too?

[icy jasper]

the only fakemon i have sprited out so far is a conversion of an inkling to a pokemon

[cedar quest]

Fakemon are fun

[icy jasper]

the ones i haven't sprited out is a metor jester with 2 forms

[crude cedar]

yess

[lament matrix]

The Pokemon I would plan for are
Komonium
Yarup
and either Scaldrake or Miaroma

Or I take my time and work on others that we didnt even make yet since I have some planed already
but Komonium is 99% sure to be in if I participate

Maybe even our biggest mon in the dex Sarboseidon

[rich hemlock]

Happy mine tied for 12th (with 8 others lmao) ✨

technically 11th actually, seeing how the first row is the categories

[subtle moss]

My sprites scored 34, 33, and 33 points

At least I'm consistent

I have no idea what that second comment means.

[naive summit]

inside joke, ultimately harmless though

[subtle moss]

Hm.

All in all, shared 12th place and 13th place twice isn't a terrible result.

[ancient palm]

i scored pretty mid but that’s ok

[summer nebula]

i got 36, 26 and 24 points respectively; consistency is clearly not my forte

[uncut shadow]

who drew those?

cus they are very funny

[wary canopy]

we did ourselves! so cristata aria and me
at least i assumed it went down the same for the other two

[rich hemlock]

i only made the one sprite so i cant speak towards consistency lol but i will consider 40 points a win

[runic ruin]

^^^ Yep, we all redrew our sprites in MS Paint, it was great

[wary canopy]

i do like how it kinda seems like they get lower in quality with each step of the podium accidentally matched up great

[crude cedar]

cant believe amoongus didnt sweep

[cedar quest]

that'd be correct

figured it'd be a funny way to do a podium and icon that's not misleading to those not interested in events

[summer nebula]

also what happened to the votes for the spotlights

i can't see them

[naive summit]

try refreshing discord (ctrl+r on computer)

[summer nebula]

that fixed it, thanks

[steady pasture]

Aww damn, none of my top 3 favs got into top 3 lol

Why did it take awhile to post the results tho @near horizon ? Was the reason being that they were trying to sketch the winners into that form?

[cedar quest]

yeah that would be it

[steady pasture]

@cyan gull As someone who doesn't play Smash, explain what's with the whole "brings great sadness" thing? Is it a reference?

Omfg... did the Chimecho/Bronzong sprite lose points becuz they mislabelled Chimecho as Chingling? Lmao

[broken robin]

Bayonetta was overpowered in her debut in smash, that’s all

She could juggle heavy characters easily

[cloud pulsar]

it boils down that the sprite was unclear if it was chimecho or chingling head

[steady pasture]

Oh... so heavyweight (by 3rd comment) means they played a certain class of characters, and those characters were overpowered by a just released unbalanced Bayonetta?

[broken robin]

Yeah. They didn’t patch the game to fix her either

[steady pasture]

LOL, I see

Thanks

[rich hemlock]

Bayonetta was absolutely busted iirc

[rich hemlock]

i dont watch smash too much but i think with how heavyweights are it was prolly hard for them to not get combo'd into oblivion by her

[steady pasture]

I see?

Too bad it's likely none of the sprites will ever see the light of day, not for a long time at least

[tulip tusk]

I thought it was because it visually had a lot of chingling elements-
did I mislabel my own sprite???

no I labeled it right, I just misspelt chimecho

[cloud pulsar]

unclear fusions be like

[steady pasture]

Lmao, i see

[sick herald]

why is it concept art in gallery?

nvm the sprites are there too

[vagrant briar]

in the top third lets gooooo

[midnight ice]

Two of my sprites are in top 100
I see this as a massive W

[vagrant briar]

got dinged for having too many jaggies but frankly i think there were not enough jaggies

[regal palm]

Definitely needed mine to bake a little more

[vagrant briar]

fair enough. unfortunately i was using spriting to procrastinate homework so i needed to finish it

still very happy with the results :)

[minor garnet]

Gyus I would preciate it if you could join my contest

#spriter-general-lounge message

[molten crater]

@cyan gull fun fact is I don't like mightyena either lol, but felt like a good fit for manectric which is my favorite mega

[sick herald]

yeah that was a good sprite

[worthy turtle]

I feel like I've asked this a million times, but what is it? What am I not understanding, and how can I improve?

What is it about my sprites that keeps them mediocre

And what fusions should I try that can make me better?

That promote practicing those shortcomings?

For reference, here are the sprites I used for the contest:

[long basin]

id say they are pretty good!

the reason they might’ve not placed as well in the contest is because they don’t have as much flare

hard to describe exactly what i mean sorry

[worthy turtle]

The Buizel got like six 1s

[long basin]

well I wouldn’t do that to it. it’s adorable!

[mellow meadow]

man I was originally happy with my sprites I made for the contest but now after reading the feedback I'm upset

[sick herald]

damn, they must've insulted ur entire bloodline

[void sluice]

Yours were cool, I was going to alert you about your Diancie tho, but you already did posted it to the drive </3

[acoustic saddle]

rip sprotes

i wonder who made the low resolution sprotes thou

[woven sable]

I do think the judges are just naturally going to pick bigger and/or more detailed sprites (when said details and size are fitting)

[naive summit]

I'd say all three are very good overall. You are getting better, regardless placement. Especially loving the cotton candy tails on the buizel! And the Drapion pose is super badass.

I'd also say contests aren't really the best place to judge your artistic growth either, especially when you're competing with quite a lot of people, some of which who've been spriting for years. Heck, I've been spriting for years and I'm still not on the level as half of yall lol

If you want a little feedback specifically to those sprites though: I do think the body is much too small on the Buizel, and the pose choice wasn't really the best. Perspective and foreshortening is incredibly tricky, especially in such a small canvas, and relies a lot on the shading to convey.

I also found Crawdaunt a bit difficult to recognize in the Drapion fusion. The top of the chest feels very flat and empty, and takes up a lot of space while contributing very little design-wise (mabe implementing some of the light grey markings on the body would've helped?) Also using the same pose for two of your entries, especially placed side by side, might contributed a little (given one comment was that they look similar)

[woven sable]

I don't think I've ever see a little simple guy win But most of the feedback I saw was pretty good

[acoustic saddle]

nah they just like sprite with better technical skills, so big sprite would have more space to show technical skills

[naive summit]

I do love the simple little guys

Tepig/Spoink was the first 5 I gave on the contest lol

[woven sable]

Maybe one day there will be a little guy contest

[broken robin]

Little cup

[woven sable]

That one was VERY cute so I don't blame you

[acoustic saddle]

onix be like

[woven sable]

I'm kinda sad I didn't enter but I had major projects due and then got massive burnout after graduating my class

[naive summit]

I might also be biased in that I'm very attached to the Tepig line lol

[woven sable]

I was gonna do Pachirisu/Medicham or smth

[mellow meadow]

legitimately at no point when I was making the sprite did that thought cross my mind, I think it’s only because the gems are pink more than anything, because if they were any other colour it would fine, but no, Diance has to have pink gems 🫠

I think I’m just disappointed which isn’t great, just getting feedback that would of been great to hear before submitting them

not much I can do about it now though

[void sluice]

I can feel it, it's okay

[mellow meadow]

also I don’t know who’s comment was legit just laughing at my sprite but it doesn’t make me feel great either, especially when I’ve put hours of work into the sprite

[cyan gull]

I had fun judging

[cyan gull]

which one was your sprite?

[void sluice]

Diancie/Diancie

[void sluice]

nooooo
pats pats

[plucky arch]

to everyone who made a vanillite sprite for this contest: know you have my deepest respect and thanks

[rocky sparrow]

Ill take a tied 100th spot for my little spoink/ducklett. Hopefully it does well in the littlest guy vote

[odd garnet]

What in the world?
What kind of contest happened for that icon???

[compact gulch]

A silly contest

[tulip tusk]

ds port contest

[naive summit]

fwiw while it wasn't my comment, I think they intended it as a reaction to the other comments, not your sprite The sprite itself is gorgeous honestly

wrong message react oop

@mellow meadow

[rocky sparrow]

Oh its not even in contention

[void sluice]

oof but nice words, Howls <3

[tulip tusk]

technically beheeyem/chimecho is physically the littlest guy (i am not biased because it's my sprite shhh) (/jest) anyways good luck to everyone

[naive summit]

babiest fella

[void sluice]

I'm okay with the reactions about my sprites, just made me abit sad that none are viable to the spotlight

[rocky sparrow]

I feel like I couldve made it into the spotlight if there wasnt a better spoink fusion to highlight

[naive summit]

Did you do the Spoink/Ducklett? Cuz that was in the contenders for it <3

[rocky sparrow]

Yesss, ill feel proud that i was even in contention

[naive summit]

there were too many cute little fellas to choose from 😭

[rocky sparrow]

There is an insane amount of good sprites in this contest

Ive just been scrolling through the results in awe

[tulip tusk]

people put their soul into sprites that will never be in game <3

[rocky sparrow]

Shame most of them wont get into the game any time soon

[naive summit]

fr voting was so difficult with so many epic sprites, made me wish some of the mons were in the game cough Slurpuff cough

maybe someday

[tulip tusk]

im so proud of my silly little guy, I even made like one or two sketches afterwards because it was such a guy

[rocky sparrow]

That slurpuff/conkeldurr is just the best guy

That would be my best friend if i could catch him

[naive summit]

I could totally see a custom dex entry about his giant chocolate bars

[cyan gull]

I was really happy with the podium lol

I'd love to have Solgaleo or Diancie in

[naive summit]

Cosmog line overall would be fun

[rocky sparrow]

Spheal line too!

[hollow grove]

We need cosmog so badly

[rocky sparrow]

I need a bunch of round little fellas

[naive summit]

Cosmog line for the galaxy and sun/moon aspects
Slurpuff for the desserts
Diancie for crystals

fill out some more of the fun custom spriting niches

I know Clefable filled in the galaxy niche buut ONLY because its vaguely related to the moon and we lack anything better

[rocky sparrow]

Yeah visually speaking clefable doesnt really work for galaxy stuff

[naive summit]

tbf I'd arge galaxy stuff was only added to clefable fusions because its design is a bit... bland to work with, for heads

gen 1 moment

[opal quiver]

Does any spriters wanna make smthn for me?

[ashen sapphire]

perhaps someday in the distant future everything'll be added to if and we'll get all these sprites

[opal quiver]

Wrong channel...

[cloud pulsar]

bro is crazy

[naive summit]

I mean, Frog hinted that the previous new additions wouldn't be the last (though it probably won't be for a long time, those few months were big stress lmao)

[cloud pulsar]

they should add a lot of legendaries (they are a pain to implement to the game thanks to the events to get them)

[naive summit]

im still hoping for Gamr's idea of a sun moon and stars themed update (Cosmog line, Minior, Lunatone/Solrock, Elgyem line)

themed mon updates/additions could be fun

[sly shuttle]

Huge fan of the Celestial Fusion update

[acoustic saddle]

my sprotes, they were in shambles

[tulip tusk]

chimecho when

[acoustic saddle]

oh ok

[heavy furnace]

Why are the results for the contest not pixels

[acoustic saddle]

it was actually, a bruh moment

now redraw all other entries the same as the winner sprotes

[heavy furnace]

Well, the winner and the runner up were a little different. 2nd place looks like it was redone on an etch a sketch

[sly shuttle]

Better Together
(Zygarde, Wishiwashi, Meltan)
Float like a Cutiefly, sting like a Combee
(Wurmple, Combee, Sewaddle, Cutiefly)
Diamond in the rough
(Torkoal, Dwebble, Carbink, Diancie, Minior)
Stuff like that

[heavy furnace]

Also I think it's funny that the sprite I spent like 10 minutes on beat the one I spent several hours on

It was by like 3 points but still

[acoustic saddle]

the 1 is : Family

[hollow grove]

I feel this, my two entries performed in the opposite ways i was thinking for them

[acoustic saddle]

damm cristana got a full house

[midnight ice]

Same lol
My Therian genie triple fusion that I spent two days on got 19 pts, but my Vikavolt/Clawitzer that I made in an hour with no feedback got 33 pts

[stable dirge]

LOOOLLL thank you courtesy of tracing over it with my mouse. I'm Left-handed and use a mouse with my right, so it was a time.
Also, if you zoom in on the eye it might look a bit... sus

[graceful plank]

get an ambidextrous mouse. but yeah I'm in the same position, had to learn with a right-handed mouse. I just use a tablet though

[stable dirge]

Dw I've got tablet and all that, it's funny tho cuz I can use my right hand for plenty, but drawing is not one of them.

left-hand writing is great, right hand writing looks like I'm 5 all over again

[molten crater]

contests kinda suck because people don't have the liking that you develop for your own sprite when you're making it, but do your best and try not to stress too much about it

[lament matrix]

Its not that your mediocre its that we have some freaks in here that rival Da vinci

[lament matrix]

Same

But yeah we shouldnt rate ourself with the contest
Cuz many of our brains go Monkey when they see sfx and Big sprites
Even more when the fusion makes sense

[minor garnet]

the main thing is that youre not the thryharders who always win (looking at you nottomention)

[lament matrix]

Funny enough NTM didnt win + he always does such quality

[minor garnet]

ik but still

he usually wins

[lament matrix]

He won once?

[minor garnet]

usually

he usually wins the best effort

or sm

t

[cloud solstice]

nah it's Soreile who's always winning with their gorgeous sprites

[minor garnet]

Yall next epril we all submit a single pixel

all a different color

all a different spot and in the end we just have a 96x96 rainbow pizxel thing

[lament matrix]

Didnt DaTorre retire once since he won like 3-4 times in a row

[minor garnet]

being a Ho-Oh/porygon fusion

[lament matrix]

Everyone has to place one pixel and in the end we need to have the best sprite in the game

[cloud solstice]

DaTorre won twice but still participate, he's "retiring" for other reasons

[minor garnet]

No just random pixels everywhere

[lament matrix]

Oh okay

[minor garnet]

also wtf is this supposed to mean?

[cloud solstice]

they find it funny

[minor garnet]

but like

do I post or

[cloud solstice]

I see outlines issues on the hair so

[minor garnet]

where?

(say here btw)

[timber jewel]

I should try adding more SFX in general

[lament matrix]

Im not a SFX fan lol

[timber jewel]

I'm trying to participate in the SFX and Texture awards, it's good practice, sometimes it's really necessary

For example drawing ice, which can be tricky

[acoustic saddle]

:v it not about winning, it about sending a message

[cloud solstice]

what is the message wise apple man

[acoustic saddle]

also time and effort doesnt equal winning , since the other people obviously does not share the same experience with your process

[timber jewel]

We live in a society

[acoustic saddle]

hive mind

[timber jewel]

Tbf the effort compounded over years of practice should be taken into account

I have been spriting for like two months and barely have any artistic knowledge

[acoustic saddle]

also time and effort doesnt equal better quality sprite, some time greatness came from simpler thing

like mine has less point bc too busy etc

i wish i can be like cristata

[timber jewel]

That's also fair, my recent Weezing Cofagrius took me less than an hour and it's probably my favourite sprite so far

[acoustic saddle]

was it the gas tank

[timber jewel]

Yes

[sick herald]

nah soreille has won like the last 5

[minor garnet]

mfer

moth friend eating rice

[acoustic saddle]

mother friend

(EMinemace has won 69 times but he got banned from entering and he got lost from memories)

[quartz locust]

I really want Delphox added to IF after seeing how amazing the fusions involving it were. 🙂

So much potential. 😄

[sick herald]

any pokemon with a prop would be good, or araquinid and darmanitan

[minor garnet]

same

fenekin and delphox

cuz we are not ready for the middle evo

(forgot the name)

[red vigil]

team Slurpuff here 🍰

[thick harness]

I've always been team Slurpuff; but this contest made me appreciate a bunch of mons I was previously indifferent/unfavourable towards everyone really pulled out their a-games

[cloud solstice]

delphox supremacy

although a lot of entries worked well as propaganda to add them

[wary canopy]

slurpuff delphox primarina

[cloud solstice]

and Diancie

[red vigil]

well, i haven't seen a lot of delphoxe head :/

[thick harness]

Torkoal and Lumineon definitely got a huge boost in my opinions; both of those would be so nice for different reasons

and I actually want the cosmog line in now; that's probably my biggest change of opinion since the initial voting

[cloud solstice]

some pokemons work better as body than head or vice-versa
but I do have some design idea with delphox head if it gets added

[wary canopy]

as someone who did both a lumineon and a solgaleo ill consider that a win

also yeah most mons r popular in mostly just one category haha

i do think delphox would make a pretty good head though

[cloud solstice]

necrozma moment

[red vigil]

well lumineon have a big issue, the body is boring, same for cosmog

[quartz locust]

Slurpuff and Ribombee are two of the Pokémon I really want to see in a future update. 😄

[cyan gull]

Cosmog is texture/SFX heaven

[cloud solstice]

if delphox gets added, plz make all canine body with delphox head have a stick in their mouth

https://tenor.com/view/doggo-dog-puppy-gif-22101518

[thick harness]

So nothing much has changed then

[cyan gull]

I'd love to see Ribombee, but at the same time it's a bit featureless for fusions imo

[red vigil]

chartor/camerupt/diancie/Slurpuff/delphox have boddy and head

[quartz locust]

Cute scarf makes for some snug fusions. 😄

[cyan gull]

fair enough

I forget that it has a scarf lol

now if you excuse me, I have to write 40 comments

[cloud solstice]

ngl if ribombee gets added, I would be more thrilled about cutiefly

the cutest fly of them all

[sick herald]

hear me out

every single mon that was entered into the contest gets added

[cyan gull]

no

every pokemon

no ultimatum

[minor garnet]

I remember the name

of the fenekin middle evo

its braixen

[random girder]

ayyy

i came in 212

[minor garnet]

nice

show

[random girder]

dunno how the fuck me and this other one got the same score

looks like a cherry blossom

[minor garnet]

yu made the stakatake?

[random girder]

yes

i had to do other entries but the time ran out

[minor garnet]

undeserves imo

I have more points somehow

[random girder]

nah is fine

it has a lot of jaggies

[minor garnet]

yours is still better than this

theres so much staircasing

and I got 22 points

[random girder]

this one should have been a bit higher

[acoustic saddle]

no funny space rocks

[random girder]

i dont see the

delphox aromatisse anywhere

[acoustic saddle]

lumieon color is awesome, but its body or stats?

also it will bring in fineon too, which is boring

[random girder]

brain

[acoustic saddle]

🧠

[random girder]

ntm wheres your other one

[acoustic saddle]

kinda low :v

bc too busy

[random girder]

the solgaleo got lower than lunala\

[acoustic saddle]

sad

[random girder]

this is not based or pogchamp

[acoustic saddle]

they were together in the commenting chart at least

[random girder]

I was away when this one was made but this seems very deserving

this is fucking genius

i think it would got higher if the pumpkin and the cape were gougeisted more

[minor garnet]

I got 155th

[random girder]

real vibers

[minor garnet]

honestly

I deserved lower

[acoustic saddle]

i think since Redhaering was color blind, i wonder if it was affected the cape color

[random girder]

wait color blind?????????????

and cooked this good?

[minor garnet]

I litteraly just made the bloodmuscles metal and copy pasted melmetal shit

thats it

[acoustic saddle]

she were awesome

[random girder]

im so sadge bro

i could have got the lotad in but i had to go somewhere

[acoustic saddle]

free robux where

[random girder]

the vikavolt was probably doomed

but the lotad

https://tenor.com/bUJDj.gif

[acoustic saddle]

what lotad

[random girder]

i had to fix the fins

but i didnt get time

https://tenor.com/bcojd.gif

[acoustic saddle]

judge disklike small sprite

[minor garnet]

tHEY WOULDVE HATED THIS

oops

[random girder]

ahh

[acoustic saddle]

joitick: real

[minor garnet]

jolvantula

[random girder]

why is this so long

[minor garnet]

[random girder]

[minor garnet]

[acoustic saddle]

[minor garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-sweating-sweating-bullets-sweating-gif-17507069

[random girder]

no

that is still a mystery

[minor garnet]

litterally him. not even joking

[random girder]

[loud raft]

Registeel body fighting in 'underwater'

[minor garnet]

just had to test it out

i am making an evo

(yes I will just add jotaro

as staryu and call it starmie)

[sick herald]

star platinum

[minor garnet]

yes

[rough frost]

it's just colors from the shiny Smogon sprite

[crisp cargo]

having had this server muted for a while and seeing this server icon all of a sudden jesus christ

like what the hell go back

[acoustic saddle]

i guess bc it was a gen 6 mon, so people r less likely to remember its shiny colors in sprite form

[rocky sparrow]

i mean i dont remember the shiny colors of any gen 5+ mon from the top of my head except for solgaleo because of how horribly red it is.

[twilit comet]

Regice sweep I guess lol

[acoustic saddle]

why so

[twilit comet]

My bad, wrong place to chat I figured. Just found the discussion board and I'll be on my merry way

Todoloo

[cedar quest]

how else could I make a Chowder joke?

[acoustic saddle]

i knew it was u, none has such hurmor

[cloud solstice]

soooo uh, how does one submit an idea for an event?
@void sluice and I would like to try to host an event

[void sluice]

[cyan gull]

👂

[tulip tusk]

you have to sign away your soul I think

[cyan gull]

Typically you'd just run it in #spriter-general-lounge or the awesome #1222376526805209201

[cyan gull]

I actually duped all of staff, I took a loan against my soul long ago and had to default it

Rent is expensive outside a shoebox

[void sluice]

I have ntm soul, does it count?

[near horizon]

nah, he's already mine

[cyan gull]

Falsified souls don't count

[void sluice]

since when?

[near horizon]

Since he heard my voice

[void sluice]

smh what a traitor

@acoustic saddle we're done!

[cyan gull]

But c'mon, spill the beans so that I can steal the idea

[void sluice]

[cloud solstice]

do I spill it?

[cyan gull]

👂

[near horizon]

🇫🇷

[cyan gull]

You can just DM me if you don't want your line to be tapped

[void sluice]

nah

[cloud solstice]

you would still steal it

[near horizon]

spill the tea fellow french people !

[cyan gull]

More like reinvest it

You'd get like 20% cut

[cloud solstice]

20% between the two of us?

[cyan gull]

Hmm, I'll make it 25

So that you have to fight for the whole number

[cloud solstice]

I would loose 😔

[near horizon]

or, they take 12.5% each

[cyan gull]

You're right

24.99%

[soft saddle]

Such a comprehensive list of suggested shiny metal pokemon

[cedar quest]

good morning event people

and to everyone else u get a schmedium morning

[void sluice]

morning strange melmetal

[void sluice]

could you answer my great friend question, please?

[civic mauve]

I started putting together a list and then realized it was just every steel type ^^;

[cyan gull]

The only rusty metal is on Mr. Steelworker iirc

[sly shuttle]

You should add Beedrill, Yanmega, Ninjask, the Yamask line, and dhelmise

Regigigas, Giratina, and Arceus

[limpid sphinx]

i mean its just a suggestion not a real rule if someone else can make a steel effect with other mon its probably allowed

x)

[minor garnet]

Ill just pixelate a picture of shiny tinkaton

[cloud pulsar]

those are some weird choices for steel texture

[broken robin]

Yamask and dhelmise I could maybe see, tho the latter isn’t exactly shiny

[sly shuttle]

Some should at least be in the YMMV category

[cloud pulsar]

in the what

[broken robin]

Your mileage may vary

Ie. It could work in some scenarios

[sly shuttle]

Everyone was confused by the acronym

[cloud pulsar]

well the list is just a suggestion
anything with steel texture is fair game

[lament matrix]

I understand Ninjask and Yamask but egy the others

[sly shuttle]

They have smaller areas of a metal texture, but they can pull it off in fusions.

[inland bear]

I LOVE STEEL TYPES

My body is ready for the sprites

[cunning zinc]

YOO AT LEAST MY DARMANITAN IS IN SPOTLIGHT VOTES

[limpid sphinx]

its an amazing one ngl

[cunning zinc]

THANK YOU

[plucky arch]

you made a vanillite line fusion, and for that you have many thanks from me, i love the vanillite line

[cerulean crag]

next event is about human teeth right?

[subtle moss]

I briefly thought "ah, I forgot to upload my contest sprites again"

But no, no I didn't.

[sharp ice]

God I hope

[cloud pulsar]

with 0 context this is so ominous

what is the context btw

[toxic grotto]

give me your teeth

[tulip tusk]

sorry im late, i heard human teeth

[little cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/dentist-big-teeth-ugly-mike-heiter-huge-teeth-gif-19967122

[sharp ice]

hell ye brother

[acoustic saddle]

list every mon with shown teeth

i will start with electrode, cloyster and gengar

[tulip tusk]

crobat :)

[mortal void]

Bruxish

[sly shuttle]

Cofagrigus

[limpid sphinx]

@cedar quest u forgot the contest team spotlight

glad that one of the sprites that i choosed for spotlights won for littlest

[little cypress]

Steelix

https://tenor.com/view/bind-pokemon-steelix-steelix-bind-gif-17220129

[acoustic saddle]

ratata

[rich hemlock]

glalie

[merry mica]

galarian meowth, graveler, cloyster, gengar, mega gengar, gmax gengar, steelix, mega steelix, electrode, hisuian electrode, electivire, aipom, ambipom, mega sableye, wailmer, banette, mega banette, snorunt, glalie, mega glalie, groudon, primal groudon, rotom heat, rotom mow, rotom wash, cofagrigus, genesect, mareanie, toxapex, bruxish

im assuming that style is what u meant by showing teeth cuz otherwise theres so many more

[acoustic saddle]

what about walord

[merry mica]

wasnt shown in the gen 5 sprite so didnt see it

[acoustic saddle]

now we need a teeth event

[merry mica]

https://tenor.com/view/perrserker-dance-meowth-pokemon-sword-shield-gif-11264452643594142414

[little cypress]

If we have this then everyone should do ENTIRELY Jynx and Mr. Mime sprites with creepy ass smiles

[little cypress]

Also PINSIR

[acoustic saddle]

that boring

9/10 dentist would disagree

you would be the 10th one

[shrewd garnet]

bruxish is RIGHT THERE

[little cypress]

Already suggested

[cloud pulsar]

then why would you say jynx and mr. mime

[hollow grove]

Erm, wailord has baleen, not teeth 🤓

[void sluice]

that's a big ass broom for their mouth and lips, ma'am

[grim patrol]

Has there ever been a contest or blitz to fill up a bunch of sprite requests? 🤔

That seems like it would be a really cool idea to help connect the players with the artists, getting the sprites they want

[sly shuttle]

There’s a chance that something like that will appear on the next sprite bingo, but otherwise nothing of the sort

[broken robin]

Blitz probably wouldn’t be the right format but I agree it would be a good bingo square

I’ve always thought there should be a sprite request leaderboard or something 🤔

[sly shuttle]

Request leaderboard would be better than the feedback leaderboard

[broken robin]

They’d have different purposes 🤔 I genuinely think incentivizing feedback somehow is crucial

It’s been a bit grim lately

[silver merlin]

my what

also one day im going to be active again on this server ive got a job and shit. sad

[rich hemlock]

6 days left for buneary rush 👁️ 👄 👁️

[subtle moss]

bunny rush

also known as

brunch

[little cypress]

WOW! Someone else that actually knows about whale anatomy! This is totally accurate

[ancient palm]

runny

[rapid knot]

Runny babbit?

[little cypress]

That’s an understatement. ||But I’ve said before, there’s a lot of hostility towards feedback too so I’m not actually super surprised||

[minor garnet]

gengar has some amzing teeth tho

[quartz locust]

You are based for listing them in the National Pokédex order. 🙂

[acoustic saddle]

would it more base if it was If dex order

[merry mica]

lmao i just opened my personal sprite resource thing and looked through

[acoustic saddle]

whats r the green square

[merry mica]

green squares are the finished ones that ive edited

[acoustic saddle]

sharpedo and mawvile has teeth

[merry mica]

i wanna go through and fix up the official sprites cuz sometimes ill make all the same changes when working on certain pokemon

and i wanna update this so i dont have to keep fixing the sprites whenever i go to use them for fusions lol

i also did color correction on mega and regional forms

[quartz locust]

No, IF's Pokédex order is an abomination. 😛

[quartz locust]

What is it that you're editing about these sprites, by the way? 🙂

[acoustic saddle]

time to rearrange :clueless:

[quartz locust]

Oh, you also forgot the Zubat line, which have pretty clear teeth. 😄

[merry mica]

its mostly popout or incomplete lineart

[acoustic saddle]

so will we have a dental event?

[merry mica]

chichar and monferno are a good example
the lineart on the hands/feet is something i will have to constantly fix if i wanna work with these pokemon

heres what those look like with fixes ive done

[acoustic saddle]

monke

[merry mica]

monke

[quartz locust]

Oh amazing, I very much approve of this project. 😄

These are the type of edits I always do when I'm working on a sprite like that. 🙂

[merry mica]

another base i constantly have to fix because the lineart on the ear insides bothers me so much

and comparison of the ear insides

[quartz locust]

Oh yeah, and the amount of fusions that don't change it (including my own). 😮

What's Azumarill's like, in comparison? 🙂

And the Nidoran line's? They're some of the closest counterparts. 😄

[merry mica]

ear insides u mean?

i havent worked with them all that much yet so dont exactly know what to fix yet

[quartz locust]

Yeah, that's what I meant. 🙂

I guess Marill's is the closest to what you're going for. 😅

[merry mica]

ye

pretty sure the other eeveelutions also looks like what im going for

oh wait no i know what im thinking of lmao

luxio and luxray

[quartz locust]

The most on-brand answer you could have possible given. 😂

[merry mica]

bjhcgxfhcjkhfdcjklh

[lament matrix]

pants wearing contest

[lament matrix]

[torn dawn]

[cloud pulsar]

[acoustic saddle]

[frail bramble]

none of the buneary heads and bodies are unclaimed xD

[sly shuttle]

Time to find old Bunearies that don’t qualify as mains! Buneary/Lampent for example

[tulip tusk]

is that a ref

[sly shuttle]

Probably just a piñata

[merry mica]

i can give you some bun heads to make alts of since i noticed a few that arent the most clear:
wartortle, raticate, vulpix, moltres, totodile, gardevoir, slugma, wailord, trubbish, garbodor

[sly shuttle]

@flint lintel Would you like some more Bunearys?

[woven sable]

omg if gardevoir needs a new main i wanna do that

i said i was bunn'd out but i think i got one more in me if it's 2 of my favs

[merry mica]

[woven sable]

already ahead of you

[merry mica]

[acoustic saddle]

free him

[warped nest]

So smol

[woven sable]

orbed..

[acoustic saddle]

one day he will be free

[flint lintel]

I dont but I will if you folks are struggling lol

[sharp ice]

I don't think I'll have the time to complete Buneary/Rockruff for the Heads list, so I'll be unclaiming. Just letting people know in case anyone wants it.

[lament matrix]

#1224206065235656765 maybe say it in here

[sharp ice]

Will do, sorry

Ah, somebody already took notice.

[lament matrix]

No need to apologize

[wind matrix]

he will never be free :>

[subtle moss]

is there a thread for the buneary rush?

Check it out here!

[cloud pulsar]

do somebody know if mergemay is gonna happen this year?

[midnight pumice]

I really hope for, but who will be the host for it

[rich hemlock]

mergemay?

[cloud pulsar]

baby spriters dont know about it huh

is basically inktober but in may

[rich hemlock]

wait how does that work then

if its like inktober then traditional art... sprites?

[cloud pulsar]

just sprites

is just inktober like in the sense is a list of prompt and you do a sprite everyday

until the end of may

[rich hemlock]

ohhh a prompt each day thing

i c

mergemay also made me think of mermay hehe

[cloud pulsar]

is a really cool event, i would ask the creator of it about it but he aint even here anymore

[acoustic saddle]

one day you will be free from the shackles

[wind matrix]

One day my skeleton will hatch

[acoustic saddle]

calcium

[broken robin]

Bingo has kind of scratched my itch for a mergemay type event

[crude cedar]

maybe ill make a mergemay board if we aint doing it officially

[cloud pulsar]

it would be better to talk it with a staff member but they are all idle rn

[midnight pumice]

Here is what I did Last Mergemay, back then I have only been spriting for 3 months, so my sprites could be a little better now
(Specially that abomination of a Custom Base )
But it was such a fun event (Despite finishing my last sprite in July )

[wind matrix]

mergmay is in the plans

[cloud pulsar]

can i see

[wind matrix]

Technically you can spy on the mimes :>

[cloud pulsar]

[wind matrix]

[acoustic saddle]

teeth

[midnight pumice]

LETSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[dull mortar]

MERGEMAY IS BACK LESSGOOOOOOOOOO

[graceful plank]

oh shit, it's already been a year since mergemay

[midnight pumice]

Also can we actually do the compilation this time? The last host wasn't able to do it

[versed ridge]

I am not doing mergemay (no motivation)

[wind matrix]

I like how mergamay got anounced shortly after Kherx asked about it

[acoustic saddle]

i dont have time to do 1 sprite each day

even if i do i would die at the end of month

[acoustic saddle]

does collab count

[buoyant ore]

submitted my prompt for mergemay

[wind matrix]

ask a mime :>

[acoustic saddle]

whats that

[acoustic saddle]

u look like one

[cedar quest]

I mean, this isn't a contest

So sure, collab if you want

[wind matrix]

skill issue :>

[cedar quest]

I think we had some collabs on the sheet last year

[acoustic saddle]

technique problematic

[floral vessel]

Mergemay!!!!!

[midnight pumice]

You can just finish it like 2 months after the event is over

[acoustic saddle]

isnt it should be on june for summer vacation?

[acoustic saddle]

i like it how u fit bidoof on all the slot

[cedar quest]

Then don't, take it slow

[acoustic saddle]

how slow?

:v isnt it suppose to be 1 each day

[cedar quest]

The goal is just to simply fill out the chart by the end of the month, but it's more fun if you try and do 1 per day or atleast wait until the day of the month comes for a prompt

[acoustic saddle]

do all 30 at the end of may , in a day

[shrewd garnet]

Teleports in

[midnight pumice]

Also, last time the prompts were released with like 4 days of anticipation or stmg like that, so you can prepare them in anticipation, or at least start them

[acoustic saddle]

will u put the prompt all at once

or once per turn

[tulip tusk]

I have two dumb concepts for prompts, can I send them in

[midnight pumice]

it was like once per week, you would get prompt from 1-7, then 8-14, at least thats how i remember it, it's been a year after all

[acoustic saddle]

autogen sprite

how many prompts suggestions per user?

[cedar quest]

idk I'm the one who did it last year

[cloud pulsar]

oh shit

[acoustic saddle]

so what have u done?

[cedar quest]

You want a list?

[cloud pulsar]

it was because i asked fr fr

@acoustic saddle happy?

[acoustic saddle]

what was blew out at ur birthday ?

[cedar quest]

[acoustic saddle]

answer the question

[wind matrix]

[worthy shuttle]

can we have doduo/dodrio contest

[candid plover]

I still don't get the mergemay thing

[shrewd garnet]

1 sprite a day, following each prompt

[merry mica]

mergemay more like jergejune

[shrewd garnet]

For example may 1st might have the prompt "gem" so make a fusion on may 1st based off a gem or something

[candid plover]

Oh right

[wind matrix]

it's like inktober but not copywrited by a jerk

[plucky arch]

mergemay 2, cant believe its been a year

[uncut shadow]

Its back!

Feels like a year since the last one

[red vigil]

Mhhh, we need to do a sprite a day or we can like do 2 sprite in a day if we are late ?

[thick harness]

Woo mergemay! I don't think i'll have as much free time as last year to take part; but i'll certainly try!

[acoustic saddle]

who was the jerk

[wind matrix]

i dunno

[cloud pulsar]

last time the prompts were released with like 4 days of anticipation so you could do them ahead of time

2 sprite in a day is fine

[tame egret]

I can't believe mergemay is back, it was my favourite event.

[subtle moss]

I do not believe I will be participating

I mostly contain spriting to the weekends

[crude cedar]

i'd like to think it was me smh

Mergemay is coming back and now im psyched

[cloud pulsar]

i asked first, i take full credit

[cedar quest]

If you're late you can do more yeah

[minor garnet]

hey gyus I have a new theme for: "Eminemace's awesome reference weekly" Check here: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1091213850151485530 for more info

[scarlet shoal]

ive submitted some ideas

[thick jolt]

can’t believe its been a whole year

[urban knot]

What is Mergemay? Mergemay is an Inktober-styled spriting event being held by Coral-Reef and Rezza. Each day will have a theme. The aim is to create one sprite a day, for each theme in may. The end result will be a filled chart with 31 sprites. Come drop by the thread to find out more, and participate! #1100198479772532847

[thick jolt]

this should probably be edited

[cloud pulsar]

im sure rezza will host it anytime

[crude cedar]

wow thats you !!

[thick jolt]

yeah! me and rezza made mergemay last year! it was super fun and im so glad its being done again

[dull mortar]

yeah!!

[mild crescent]

Oh that's right, I wondered why the Paras kingler wasn't filled in on the theme blitz. I forgot to make that sprite Lmao

[minor garnet]

Should I be just a sad human being and make a reference sprite myself for my own contest?

[lament matrix]

Yes

[mild crescent]

Yes

[cyan gull]

Yes

[minor garnet]

aight

I am thinking

ok I cooked

[paper fossil]

How do I submit a sprite for May the 4th?

[minor garnet]

idk

Anyways as I was saying I cooked and will be making mike tyson from punch out

[dull mortar]

read the pin in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197599880827392070

[mild crescent]

How much would be a reasonable reward to start my own small event?

[minor garnet]

as in money?

500 dollars

[mild crescent]

Yeah. I was thinking of supporting my own little thing outside of official PIF events, and I figure a little bit of cash would be good for rewards to 1st - 2nd- 3rd places

...ah.

[minor garnet]

jk

[mild crescent]

[minor garnet]

depends on your income

also you should not immediatly throw in money

[dull mortar]

hmmm yeah I don't think you need to do money

[minor garnet]

bc then people will make sprites just for the money

[mild crescent]

🤔

Good point

[minor garnet]

also theres some people (Looking at you @acoustic saddle and some others like egg)

[mild crescent]

I wouldn't want spriters to only do it for the pay

[minor garnet]

Just do what I do

Introduce your idea to the world

beg every channel to join

get 2 submissions

fuck everything up

and repeat

[mild crescent]

: D

[dull mortar]

something about it being for money also just feels questionable to me, also, even though we've had a sponsored contest it seems like something that should be done with care

what kinda event were you thinking btw?

[mild crescent]

Ah, one second

4 pokemon are selected, each to one side of the box. You fuse the pokemon with whichever pokemon is to their next clockwise side like so

1 fuses with 2, 2 fuses with 3, etc

[dull mortar]

oh that's fun

[mild crescent]

I thought of slimming it down to just 3 mons but that would make for a weird groaht

Graph

[dull mortar]

ye it would

[warped nest]

But then 2/4, 4/2, 1/3 and 3/1 are never made

[uncut shadow]

where is the mergemay talk?

[mild crescent]

We can flip the graph for that

[rich hemlock]

reminds me of fusion graphs like these lmao

[mild crescent]

Lmao

[eager wyvern]

i really hate how accurate this is too

[mortal void]

I love this image haha makes me think though, a fun event could be that you pick 'your mon' and get paired up with two other people, and you have to fuse your mon with each of theirs (so, two fusions), then it gets arranged like that and hell as a bonus you all three collab on a silly triple fusion at the end

might work as a mini user ran event?

then again you'd need enough people to divide by 3 haha

[subtle moss]

Ruberross has a series where they do that. they have like 10 or so people, each picks one pokemon, then they fuse their pokémon with each of the other's.

[acoustic rampart]

I was litterally asking into electric sfx tips yesterday... Thx for the great timing hero I might actually compete to test out my skills

[heady escarp]

where can I see last year's mergmay entries?

[limpid sphinx]

sprite-gallery + mergemay

try this combo

[heady escarp]

gotcha

[crude cedar]

..so spritedoku kinda??

[crude cedar]

we should do ittt

wait, im pretty sure i've done it with bee n pip n others in gartic

[sullen solar]

Man these events are a lot more lively now, I wonder what happened

[mild crescent]

Sure if spritedoku was much smaller and rotated clockeise

[acoustic saddle]

where my money?

[cedar quest]

The things you can do when you're not confined to a team of 3 people, amirite?

[sturdy mulch]

yo! For the mergemay form, are you allowed to submit more than 1 prompts?

[summer stream]

3 ice puns and it's electric

what a meme

[limpid sphinx]

yes

how much you want to

[thick jolt]

@cedar quest im hoping theres not gonna be any rules on using old unposted sprites for mergemay?

[limpid sphinx]

? why r u accusing yourself

shhhh

[thick jolt]

pfrhahahah

[balmy salmon]

For Merge May, do you have to finish the prompt the day of or can you do it whenever?

[limpid sphinx]

only not before the day for it

[balmy salmon]

thats good lol

[limpid sphinx]

last year i think that rezza let ppl finish in 1 or 2 week after may and after that he would make a compilation, sad that it never happened but kinda understandable, a lot of content lol

so its basically that yeah we reveal the prompts week per week and u r only allowed to make(aka post) a sprite for a prompt the day of or after that day, not before

[cloud pulsar]

i wonder how hard will it be to keep track of all the stuff this time

[broken robin]

It went WAY beyond may, to the point I made this joke about it

There was no prize or competition so nobody cared

[cedar quest]

There’s no prize, the only achievement you get is looking at ur filled out sheet, I really do not care

although I say using old sprites is lame

[dull mortar]

yeah you're meant to make new guys for the challenge

then you get to look at it and be so very proud

[cedar quest]

byeagh

[broken robin]

This was mine, it was right around when I was just starting to sprite. I think I’ve improved a lot since then but it was fun

[dull mortar]

similar boat

[plucky arch]

i never finished Mergemay sadly

i got pretty damn far tho

i can not find my template at all
