event-general

[supple epoch]

Maybe some of the best and worst episodes as well. (Worst examples would be Elesa battle, The Marshtomp Filler episode, etc)

[carmine falcon]

guys

think about

all the deltarune bangers

[supple epoch]

No, the Kalos Semi Final isn’t the worst, it’s just the outcome that is salty. The animation still provides a feast for the eyes

[carmine falcon]

gen 6

is eye candy

👍

Z-Moves are also eye candy

[harsh obsidian]

Man, I haven’t watched the anime ages

Would be really cool to watch it again

[supple epoch]

Maybe some emotional episode to bring in the waterworks

IE: Stoutland and Mallow’s mother

[gusty frost]

im not used to contests when the time ends how much time until they reveal the results

[supple epoch]

It depends

It could be a few hours, it could be Little Cup

[subtle moss]

when they're done judging

[regal palm]

Are they ever done judging though

[gleaming acorn]

Are any of us truly free from judgement

[limpid sphinx]

datorre every year putting slurpuff in the list

[icy rivet]

What about that haunted house episode about Espurr from XY?

That’s the last full episode I saw

(Full meaning “I was still watching regularly”)

[plucky arch]

you can mention typing in dex entries right?

like "due to this pokemon's typing, trainers believe it can exhale fire"

eh if hop can praise us for knowing matchups im sure its fine

im proud of my entries but im not sure what the judges will think or what the grading is on

oops i also forgot to write a copy of them down to actually submit for the game whoopsies

[icy rivet]

That should be done? I better go hunt mine down rq

[plucky arch]

it doesnt gotta be but i was gonna do it anyway since i had already written them but i forgot lmao

[icy rivet]

Well I just saved mine in case too

I mostly aimed for fusions that didn’t have an existing entry anyway

[plucky arch]

i just did entries for my own fusions lmao

[icy rivet]

I don’t have own fusions so I get by lol

[heady panther]

I just wanna make sure, do I have 2 entries for the sticker/emoji contest because I'm not sure if I added my 2nd

[gleaming acorn]

Fun fact: you can still submit to the emote contest form

[cyan gull]

Yeah, I forgot to close it since I wasn't home and had to wake up early

[heady panther]

Do you have a list or smth that you can check for entries?

Because I don't want to make a 3rd entry that's the same thing

[gusty frost]

do we have any information about the concept contest, at least what art are valid

[gleaming acorn]

Concept Art, I'd assume

[ancient palm]

I'm looking forward to it I sure can make a concept art

[vale shadow]

Same here win or lose

[cedar quest]

As if it's not on the schedule

[feral surge]

you are a day late

[limpid sphinx]

shhhh let pory make their dramatic announce

[limpid sphinx]

european smh smh

[feral surge]

time zones messing up the schedule

[limpid sphinx]

i mean if u did not sleep yet its not the other day yet right

thats how my time works

[feral surge]

actually same

[cloud solstice]

it's already tomorrow

[heady panther]

if you think about it, there is no tomorrow

[icy rivet]

Technically most announcements happen within the next two hours. At least that’s when Frog tends to release updates and announcements are done (for me at least. 6-8pm)

[cedar quest]

That's because that is the timeframe when events typically finish

[sly shuttle]

Will you give us extra points if we use a non-quadrilateral canvas?

[icy jasper]

since I do most of my concept art in mspaint with very thick lines and no color, this contest is going to be fun

[woven kettle]

Nice a concept art event

Sounds fun

[tulip tusk]

how will the concept art be judged?

[woven kettle]

Bias

[fathom glade]

[cloud pulsar]

lets go excuses to not do pixel art

[sly shuttle]

Maybe criteria like this

[fathom glade]

But pixel art is fun

[cloud pulsar]

maybe

[gleaming acorn]

Oh my god its a literal propaganda concept contest

[tulip tusk]

got it, time to design only slurpuff and lurantis fusions /j

[fathom glade]

This is basically just a contest for Widecloud

[fathom glade]

You can only do two

[cyan gull]

I'll rig it

[buoyant canyon]

its uhh

sigilyph time

[cyan gull]

do you need my paypal or?

[buoyant canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/sigilyph-pokemon-gif-9579427137307426009

[woven kettle]

Pory

Can it be any of the non-IF

Wait

[worthy turtle]

So can we use paper?

[woven kettle]

That count

[sly shuttle]

Only in vote

[fathom glade]

I did sewaddle line last time so i do skitty this time

[woven kettle]

Any of the non-IF that count

[fathom glade]

Or spheal

[tulip tusk]

i love this creature so much

[fathom glade]

Which one should i do

Skitty + delcatty or spheal and one of its evos

[worthy turtle]

Does it have to be in color?

[gleaming acorn]

miniorminiorminiorminior

[cloud pulsar]

this staff members think they can do anything smh

[fathom glade]

Minior is pretty

[worthy turtle]

Can I use paper

[tulip tusk]

trying to avoid designing another necrozma body

[cyan gull]

nope

[fathom glade]

Is minior in pif already?

[buoyant canyon]

no

[fathom glade]

I fr thought it was

[worthy turtle]

Can I do pencil and paper?

[gleaming acorn]

But it will be

[cyan gull]

you think it's my staff role that gets me rigging rights privileges?

[cyan gull]

yep

[worthy turtle]

Yay

[woven kettle]

Pory I hate art

Can I just win?

[fathom glade]

I think imma do skitty and delcatty

[cloud pulsar]

5 dollas to include a mon to the raffle

[fathom glade]

But what should i fuse them with

[cloud pulsar]

IF if it was good

[icy jasper]

also, can the outlines on a concept be bolder than usual? aka, IF the concept were to be sprited (not saying that it will), it could translate easily with the bold outlines

[tulip tusk]

I kinda want to do furfrou or chimecho

I want to try out a furfrou head on a legendary body

[woven kettle]

I want to do something

I don’t know what

[fathom glade]

Kyogre

Fluffy whale

[buoyant canyon]

i could totally just

draw over the sketches i made the other day

but

i wanna do sigilyph

[woven kettle]

Tracing your own art?

[fathom glade]

[rich hemlock]

I imagine like what was posted above, spriteability of the concept art would be a factor in the judging

[heady panther]

could I just do pixel art for the concept art contest?

[woven kettle]

Uhhh

As long as it isn’t a sprite sure

[cyan gull]

ofc

need my paypal?

[woven kettle]

Yes

[fathom glade]

If its bigger than the spriting canvas reccomendation

Id say so

[heady panther]

ok

[noble fractal]

oooooo i cant wait

[fathom glade]

Whats the deadline

[buoyant canyon]

8 days

[fathom glade]

I see now yes

[dense crow]

Normal art?

[fathom glade]

Yeh

[cloud pulsar]

whos judging this

[fathom glade]

The staff id assume

[cyan gull]

me

[woven kettle]

Me

I am

[cloud pulsar]

hmmmmmm

[woven kettle]

I’m judging this

[icy jasper]

I might as well get back into making meloetta fusions by fusing it with a non-if Pokémon for this contest

[woven kettle]

Ily Kherx you can automatically win if you participate

[cyan gull]

that's it, contest over if Say is juding it

I hope your entries are in

[fathom glade]

[cloud pulsar]

hes gonna rig it again just like the say royale

[woven kettle]

I can just give myself a 6

[tulip tusk]

i kinda want to try a chimecho/blaziken fusion

[cyan gull]

that counts as a 0 on the sheet, so sure

[fathom glade]

Do meloetta and skitty

[thorny saddle]

does rule 3 just mean a pokemon up for the vote + one in the game already

[woven kettle]

Yes

[cyan gull]

yes

[thorny saddle]

cool, ty

[woven kettle]

Pory I hate Pokemon, can I do a Digimon instead?

[cloud pulsar]

frogman is gonna add the pokemon that wins to the raffle on top of another entry and everyone is gonna lose it

im calling it

[woven kettle]

Or like a Yo-Kai?

[icy jasper]

I have a few other ideas for what to fuse with meloetta for the concept art, so maybe that'll be done later

[cyan gull]

please do

[fathom glade]

Oo okay

[cyan gull]

you can also do Bakugan

[cloud pulsar]

ayo

IF is based?

[woven kettle]

Yes

[jagged hinge]

btw are we going to ignore the "cool thing" that the staff keeps mentioning

[cloud pulsar]

+1 mon

[woven kettle]

The cool thing is that one special member in IF will get a cool hat

And the title “The IF person”

[cloud pulsar]

scrapi comesback

[heady panther]

man I suck at art on PC (except for pixel art)

[icy rivet]

I suck at art lol
That said this would probably be the only way I ever make my personal creature into a fusion at this rate… nah skipping. Ik my place

[cyan gull]

40k+ people know, you should ask them

[icy jasper]

how cool is this "cool" thing?

[feral surge]

looks like I'm making at least one more lurantis concept, by the "make the cavas the problem of the spriter" I'm guessing the bigger canvas the better

[cyan gull]

pretty cool

[jagged hinge]

damn i cant believe you are gate-keeping the cool thing

[cyan gull]

gatekeep, gaslight, girl boss

[jagged hinge]

cant wait until the 29th to see cool stuff

[cyan gull]

as if

I can't believe you fell for the biggest ploy in PIF

[jagged hinge]

is the cool thing the friends along the way?

[cyan gull]

[limpid sphinx]

maybe with some soothing tea

[worthy turtle]

I just started on something

And then I got to the Head

And totally ruined it

ursaring zangoose

And I didn't have a pencil, which meant I couldn't erase it

[limpid sphinx]

ooh its a really good idea

[worthy turtle]

I know, their belly patterns make a perfect no sign

[crude veldt]

you can always try tracing the lines again on another sheet above it

[worthy turtle]

But then I ruined it with the face

[crude veldt]

get the rough shape done here

[worthy turtle]

Good idea!

[crude veldt]

then fix it up again later

[worthy turtle]

Issue is, I'm just bad at faces in general

I'm a mediocre artist

[crude veldt]

you aren't alone chief 😭

[worthy turtle]

Lol

[crude veldt]

there's a reason why i stick to non-humanoid sprites

[limpid sphinx]

maybe if u try do it bigger could helps

[worthy turtle]

I've been learning to do art through this whole community

[limpid sphinx]

more space to work on the face can make it easier ig

[crude veldt]

^

[worthy turtle]

And even then, there's a big difference between clicking squares and actually drawing

Ok

I'll try

Unfortunately, I have things to do now

[crude veldt]

pixel art feels easier in some areas imo

there's a set amount of space you can work with

[limpid sphinx]

i never touched art b4 infinite fusion too tbh looool i can feel u

[worthy turtle]

I just moved into my dorm for my first year of college

[thorny saddle]

we did a concept art contest in the past, right? would there be any way to look at the entires to that just to get an idea on whats being expected kinda

[worthy turtle]

And I figured while I'm waiting for the next orientation event, I'd take part in this event

[crude veldt]

gl!!

[worthy turtle]

Thanks

[crude veldt]

being a freshman can be tough

[worthy turtle]

It's mostly the being away from home that frightens me

I figured I could draw my problems away

With big bad scary Mongoose bear

Lol

[zinc lion]

i didn't see what rule 4 was before the edit

[zinc lion]

i envy you actually. all of my sprites are done by tracing my own art

[worthy turtle]

You shouldn't envy me. I always use a pre-made base, and when I make bases, I just trace the cards

At least you make your own art

The only thing I can really say did myself were the hands of one of my marshtomp bases

This one

[oak tree]

Ok so I have a question and it will bother me unless I ask it

The most recent announcement says “have fun and art safe!”

Has… has someone done art unsafely before?

[compact gulch]

Yeah I’d love to know more about the expectations for concept art…When I’m making a proper illustration it looks much different from something I’m intending to shrink 3x in pixel format. Is there consideration for how easy the concept art will be to sprite?

[cyan gull]

ever heard of Van Gogh?

[oak tree]

Ok fair

Didn’t know that mental toll applied to all artists though…

[cyan gull]

covering my bases

[oak tree]

Liability and stuff I gotcha

[cyan gull]

I'd rather not reveal too much in order to not skew entries, but do concept art in a way you'd use it is probably the best tip I can give

[wicked perch]

check out some of the stuff grafitti artists do sometime they'll do wild stuff like rappelling down bridges to put up pieces

[sly shuttle]

My concept art is usually rough and has a lot of details only I can remember

Gotta go digital if I participate here

[cyan gull]

obv you get points for readability, but you can use any art form

if someone makes cohesive macaroni art I'll make sure they win something

[jovial brook]

What was rule 4

[carmine falcon]

let me cook chat

what if I

make concept art out of uhmm

sound waves

let me cook

[icy rivet]

I have a concept but the only cohesive way to view it is by checking the patterns of my brainwaves

[cold nacelle]

i dont know anything past rule2

i know 1 is no hate speech

2 is no nsfw

3 is ????

[jovial brook]

no, no for the concept art event

[cold nacelle]

oh

[cold nacelle]

so just drawing on a spectrogram

[cyan gull]

I can't wait for the Synthesia art

[oak tree]

I’m looking forward to the etch a sketch art

[plucky arch]

i said i have to do anything for Minior

and that means,, art

[limpid sphinx]

anti-minior squad when

[gusty frost]

i thought i would be the first and it have 2 already

[plucky arch]

never

i have a really good idea in my head i just am unable to put it into art, shame

[limpid sphinx]

ngl i feel that a lot

[dawn prairie]

Oh no i might have to figure out actual krita brushes

[woven kettle]

You say that as if you need to make a masterpiece to win

[gusty frost]

dont we?

[woven kettle]

It’s a concept art contest not an art contest

You don’t need to make a high detailed art, it’s meant to be a concept used for making a sprite

If that’s your style and how you do it go ahead

[gusty frost]

thats good to know because i dont know shit about digital art

[woven kettle]

Just make something that you can turn into a sprite and you like

You don’t need to worry about pushing out something highly detailed

[plucky arch]

my issue is i just cant draw

heres the concept art

[icy rivet]

How long ago was the Dex contest edited?

[dense jackal]

The time is always related to the present time when displayed like that.
If that's not an answer to your question, then I don't think you can tell after it's edited when the edit happened

[icy rivet]

Which means anytime in the next hour or so. Joy
Nah I just wondered because I’m at work and didn’t want to miss the winner reveal

[dense jackal]

Looks like 2 hours, 8 minutes to me

[icy rivet]

Puts it around midnight for me then

[feral surge]

why do I keep drawing eeveelutions when I find 4 leged animals so hard to draw

[heady panther]

im boutta have so much trouble with this contest

ive done art irl before but its with a reference image, not from scratch

[limpid sphinx]

u posted an amazing concept on #1263858526829416539 today

the most important thing about this contest is how well your concept can be translated to pixels

[heady panther]

what does it mean by eligible non if mons?

just ones that arent in pif but can be fused or what?

[limpid sphinx]

the ones on the votes

(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdCeR0KbGw9oCW4T3IZiabJNW4h_cuE19sDcnNHxEMNweD0hw/viewform)

[jovial brook]

There is also the list in the announcement

[grand tusk]

Time to draw a stick figure and win 😎

[rustic merlin]

Working on a Salazzle/Hydreigon. I would love to hear some thoughts and criticisms if anyone has time. Specifically I'm not sure if the flame details would transfer well to a sprite.

[limpid sphinx]

oh yeah its truth

[jovial brook]

It looks really good! The tail feels like it could be posed better, as for the flames, it probably would be hard to sprite, but it looks too cool

[rustic merlin]

I agree I'm definitely going to explore some more poses before the end of the event, thank you for the feedback!

[cloud pulsar]

nice pixels bro

[heady radish]

It still counts as concept art even if it's drawn in MS paint right?

[gusty frost]

I believe anything that is not straight up a sprite counts

[icy rivet]

Here’s where we get all meta competitive. Do you think you have a higher chance submitting early, or later? All your submissions at once, or scattered throughout the entry period?
The things my idle brain comes up with when bored lol

[heady radish]

Less exposure = more wow factor upon reveal. All at once and late lol

[little cypress]

I say all at once at the end but ONLY if you start working on them right at the start and have a lot of time to review and walk away. Best sprites then, right? Since they aren't rushed?

[icy rivet]

Damn. So being one of the first ones for the Dex event that just closed was a bad idea😅

[little cypress]

Not necessarily haha. It really depends. That's just what I've seen

[icy rivet]

While the situation was true, the upset reaction was for laughs

[supple magnet]

I've run into a problem. I'm on vacation and where I am doesn't have the best Wi-Fi. Due to this, I'm unable to upload my entries to the drive. By any chance could someone else add them for me? I already renamed them so they have the correct file names. If I need to talk this over with an event manager then just let me know

[heady panther]

can I fuse 2 of the pokemon on the list together?

because ive been drawing tropius and vanilluxe together and this is what I have

[supple magnet]

It says in the announcement it has to be a Non-IF mon + An IF mon

[heady panther]

Shoot

Well imma do tropius and lugia tmwr

[supple magnet]

I'm still hoping I can find a way to get my entries in with my horrible Wi-Fi

I am living off of mobile data rn

[heady panther]

oof

man I spent so long drawing the tropius and vanilluxe one

[graceful plank]

I wanted to submit for dex but I couldn't think of anything good

[little cypress]

@cyan gull, thoughts?

[cyan gull]

internet diffed (yeah, I'll add them, DM me though or I'll forget)

[jovial brook]

Got a sketch down, anybody have suggestions?

[worn ravine]

Just to be clear for the concept art contest, the we’re meant to pick one pokemon from the list and any other NOT the list right?

[dawn prairie]

anything on the list + anything you can find in infinite fusion

[worn ravine]

Makes sense, tyyy :D

[agile quest]

Im so nervous about doing this i need to portray musharna as best i can with this auu

I am thinking. So hard right now

i wonder how clean they want the art to be since my current comfortable style is pretty loose so im worried if its not like fully outlined itll get points off

[little cypress]

I'm sure you can make one and make a thread and ask for feedback before the contest ends on how polished it needs to be

[agile quest]

yeeah ill probably end up doing that yeah. im just nervous at the moment lol

[vale shadow]

Here's a sketch I'm currently trying to clean up for the contest. Any tips on what to fix?

[jovial brook]

Looks fantastic!

[agile quest]

yeah thats super cool so far

[agile quest]

i talked about this in another server and someone brought up a point and im not gonna submit it but if no one else wants to take the idea: ducklett/psyduck. duckduck.

[agile quest]

which concept should i continue developing? im definitely keeping the reuniclus one [psst #1275712390456934441 ] but im not sure which of these to refine

its musharna/altaria and musharna/darkrai if its hard to tell

If i go with altaria ill draw it in a more dynamic pose for creativity points
If i go with darkrai ill also draw a second concept idea i have and then ill decide which one to continue with

[odd garnet]

@wind matrix I don't get it

My Tyranitar/Roserade has a main and and alt version where the main is effectless and the alt has effects

But both my Frosslass/Roserade sprites are mains

[wind matrix]

different sprite managers have different ideas on which one to main

[odd garnet]

NOOO THEY ALTED THE CHAIR

[wind matrix]

how is he even holding it?

[jaunty estuary]

NOT THE CHAIR

[near horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-spongebob-imagination-gif-11877335675029242228

[little cypress]

Darkrai is my vote, if it matters. You can even add more effects!

[little cypress]

specific people, including some of the Sprite Managers, just unilaterally hate special effects on sprites. It's really a matter of personal preference, but you can always post a #1052360360172199977 thread asking this as well. Up to you. Since it's so subjective, I'd ask if I were you.
This Froslass Roserade fusion is stunning and the diamond dust effect really adds to it!

[odd garnet]

...Wait why did I post this in Event General?

Thanks

[wind matrix]

good question

[agile quest]

Oh yeah i am looking for others opinions on that. My alternate concept would be making it more of musharnas actual body, with gem placement on the shoulders and whatnot to still give the general shape of darkrai. Its 4:30am rn though so these ideas can wait lol

I just so hope i can get musharna into the game because i think so many of its fusions have a lot of potential

[shrewd garnet]

this was prolly asked before and i just cant find it but - are we (or someone else) gonna have to sprite the concept art we make for the contest?

[limpid sphinx]

have to? probably not

but ppl r doing so much good concepts that maybe i should steal everything to me and sprite it mslf

[shrewd garnet]

yay ✨ bc making this art is hurting my hand a lot and i dont wanna go through that 😭

[limpid sphinx]

oh yeah dw

[shrewd garnet]

(the concept art i post is always free to use if anyones wondering lol)

[slender thunder]

I've confused #playthrough-talk for this channel once lol

[little cypress]

I think it could be cool of the concepts that artists don't plan to sprite could be labeled so others can sprite them. We have so much talent here!

[limpid sphinx]

i mean all of them should be labeled on #1263858526829416539 tbh but we cant force anyone to post there right xd

[plucky arch]

its just low quality smhsmh

[little cypress]

I know

[feral surge]

Frog seeing all of the non if in concept art right now because of the events

[limpid sphinx]

i mean the non-if content now is kinda to promote the votes so i feel like frog is ok with the non if fusions >:)

||if not...
rebellion||

[cyan gull]

#1050404143807873157 has always accepted non-IF

[feral surge]

I will probably sprite mine at some point anyway

[feral surge]

we are talking about concept art channel

[cyan gull]

Ik

But it's not like you can't use sprite work for it

[limpid sphinx]

pory u r tripping

[little cypress]

why is that not called Eevil

[feral surge]

as someone who gets annoyed by being tagged by feedbas in concept art/heavy wip spritework threads I refuse to do that to others (and you often get people who didn't read what you said and try to explain to you how to sprite)

[little cypress]

||It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me||

[feral surge]

maybe I should do a ditto body concept for the heck of it since I don't really want to win in the first place

[little cypress]

maybe something crazy like Stakataka/Ditto? Something that's basically the exact opposite of a shapeless blob for the head effects?

[feral surge]

that would be fun but stakataka isn't in the vote so it's not eligible for the event

[little cypress]

oh then nevermind, UGH

[acoustic saddle]

same

[little cypress]

I'm sad, I like the UBs, well at least some of them haha

[acoustic saddle]

guess my fave UB

[feral surge]

I want kartana because origami fusions can be cool

[little cypress]

Buzzwole?

[acoustic saddle]

this

[little cypress]

and Pheromosa and Nagandel

[acoustic saddle]

origami is goat

[feral surge]

if only non if counted for pokefan

[little cypress]

so much BLOBBIES

[acoustic saddle]

what about more fun ditto body

[little cypress]

Kartana is literally Origami from Jackie Chan Adventures haha

[acoustic saddle]

:v actually dont do it, it was hell

[feral surge]

the problem with doing a very different body shape for ditto is that you can't really tell the size in comparison that well since goo

[acoustic saddle]

any buff moth idea u can give?

minus moth man

[feral surge]

I will do at least 50 but since ditto bodies will be somewhat close to completion then I might try to get them there

[little cypress]

buff moth idea? Hmmm... there are some buff insect things in Hunter x Hunter

[little cypress]

goo, goo, all the GOO

[feral surge]

behold the light goo creature

[little cypress]

that's probably the least complicated UN that will ever exist, and its adorable

[acoustic saddle]

is it even ditto anymore :v

[granite dawn]

Goo, Destroyer of Worlds

[acoustic saddle]

googoo gaga

[feral surge]

you made it, you tell us

[acoustic saddle]

truly a destruction of world moment

[little cypress]

Imitates nature though, both of those exist in our reality

Anyway night all

[feral surge]

good night (midday)

[cyan gull]

Idk, why are you zigging here and not away

[cyan gull]

Don't get me wrong, I dislike that too

[little cypress]

I in bed but can't sleep

[feral surge]

me every day

[little cypress]

And I zig everywhere

[supple epoch]

Today is the Jirachi day

[heady panther]

time to make an entirely new drawing of lugia and tropius because I misunderstood the contest

[near horizon]

Time to do a sprite with dovahzul for the text sfx x)

[acoustic saddle]

do the crab evo cycle lol

[near horizon]

nah, i'm doing :

[acoustic saddle]

its just an idea :,v

[near horizon]

if i have time i'll do it

krabby, but with what ...

oh, i know, smeargle

[acoustic saddle]

arceus

[near horizon]

can work too

[granite tree]

I made this for the concept art contest, still working on it #1275881843614420992

[shrewd garnet]

gorgeous O_O

[granite tree]

Thanks!

[agile quest]

which darkrai option looks better? im leaning towards small musharna more but i wanted to draw both options

also messed with shape on my reuniclus fusion waow the solosis body feels a bit small so ill probably resize it but trial and error and all that

[heady panther]

Is this looking like lugia?

[void sluice]

is she single?

[granite tree]

Wait whut, it's a pokémon 😂

[void sluice]

humans back then used to marry pokemon

[heady panther]

My reactions are all that need to be said

[void sluice]

-# I myself ain't a human

[granite tree]

That explains tiny Machops running around

[void sluice]

lmaoo

[heady panther]

Yeah but you ain't a pokemon

At least I think you arent

[granite tree]

Are you a Kirlia in disguise?

[shrewd garnet]

froslass married a human in the lore so ill give u my froslass fusion 🤲

[granite tree]

Woah, cool stuff!

[shrewd garnet]

careful tho she's a lil aggressive

[tired mantle]

holy crap that's a good drawing!

[shrewd garnet]

wanna see my other ones :3

[void sluice]

she's just my type

its gorgeous

[heady panther]

I really want tropius and Vanilluxe in PIF because then I can make this into a sprite

[void sluice]

and a fighter!!

[void sluice]

I'm a

[void sluice]

It would be cool asf
I worry if the details are going to look good as sprite

[heady panther]

I could die down the details but I really want it in PIF

[shrewd garnet]

why yes of course ill post the rest thank you for asking :)

[heady panther]

Lol

[shrewd garnet]

btw yall think these are good to submit? or should i try making more >:3

[heady panther]

I think there good

[granite tree]

Isn't the max 2 per person?

[shrewd garnet]

ye

[void sluice]

beautiful
make more

[heady panther]

What's the bottom one

[shrewd garnet]

so one will have to get axed O_O

[granite tree]

Sad

[shrewd garnet]

masquerain/jynx

[granite tree]

Keep the panda

[heady panther]

I think axe jynx

Keep comfey and panda

[shrewd garnet]

🫡 i like masquerains palette but i agree tbh

i made this one also but i feel less good about it lol

[heady panther]

I mean atleast done 4

I'm still having trouble with Lugia

[shrewd garnet]

im in the art zone hehe

[agile quest]

i really like the comfey/smeargle one and pangoro/froslass one theyre both really nice

i have 3 musharna fusions im working on and one will be axed eventually but i want to refine all of them to give them a chance [reuniclus, darkrai, and altaria]

[shrewd garnet]

i already made a musharna fusion for the elusive pokedex event so i thought i probably shouldnt double dip lol

which is a shame bc i love musharna

[heady panther]

I say keep darkrai (very based because I like darkrai)

[agile quest]

ooh show

[agile quest]

i didnt realize some of these were art challenges so im just now doing this one

ohhh thats so cool

i am uh. really wanting to get munna/musharna in the game if you cant tell by my nickname

[shrewd garnet]

also its unpolished concept art hehe

[agile quest]

my current art style is pretty loose with floaty colors and stuff so musharna concept art is also pretty well equipped for this lol but i love that concept art also

it feels so soft

[shrewd garnet]

this is how most of my concept art normally looks, im just going the extra mile for the contest hehe

[heady panther]

I've done so much pixel art I can see every pixel in that

Same with all the other ones

[shrewd garnet]

thats the idea 👉 👉

makes the outline details clearer when you downscale it to a pixel canvas

[agile quest]

im mostly just nervous about like should i submit stuff together or one like today and other later idkkk wauuh

[shrewd garnet]

idk i just posted both of mine now lol

[heady panther]

Imma work on my lugia now

[shrewd garnet]

realizes i never posted the pangoro to the concept art thread
should i do that 🤔

[agile quest]

im just happy to see any other people doing munna/musharna fusions it makes me very happy

[shrewd garnet]

hehe

[heady panther]

I want all the other ultra beasts in PIF so bad

[shrewd garnet]

me too but i know how much id hate spriting some of them

[heady panther]

Atleast it's not veins

Like conkeldurr

I'd rather sprite guzzlord then conkeldurr tbh

[agile quest]

if they added buzzwole itd be entertaining but kind of annoying

[heady panther]

Buzzwole would be annoying to sprite

I really want guzzlord though

[feral surge]

Buzzwole has nice colours but the details do look like they would be hard to get in sprites

[heady panther]

I wonder what UB would be the easiest to sprite

[agile quest]

kartana or poipole probably

straight lines are pretty easy in pixel art lol

so kartana seems simple enough

[heady panther]

Probably

Update on lugia

[shrewd garnet]

nonono
straight lines are easy yes
but not when theres a lot of straight lines in close proximity to each other

the easiest would be nihilego imo, simple shape, just barely varied enough palette, easy to replicate texture, etc

[feral surge]

nihilego would probably be the easiest, kartana would be a pain but when you get it to work it can look cool

[civic mauve]

Kartana would be great. I should do more origami fusions

[errant shard]

Can confirm, Celesteela and Stakataka sound fun in theory but are very, very hard in practice

[carmine falcon]

TECHNICALLY poipole will PROBABLY be the simplest, it's a pre-evo after all, there isn't much complexity going into it

https://tenor.com/view/poipole-pokemon-ultra-beast-pokemon-poipole-spin-gif-9683786116806848481

[civic mauve]

Stakataka is great. Grafitti, Interior Design, Voxels, and more 💖

[carmine falcon]

I really do not wanna draw bricks all day-

although body fusions would be cool

cause you just make the mon's face on every brick

fr

[civic mauve]

I've made a few Stakataka bases so that would hopefully help. That reminds me, I never posted the Buzzwole I made ^^;

[carmine falcon]

all ultra beasts got tons of potential but most of them would be a PAIN to make

even nihilego isn't that simple considering you need glass sfx most of the time which isn't the simplest thing in the world yk

[civic mauve]

I want Nihiligo so much for the translucency 🙏

[carmine falcon]

I want Poipole but just cause I like poipole

[agile quest]

finished my final drafts for my reuniclus and darkrai ones waow #1275908164193357824 #1275712390456934441 time to mess with altaria

[worthy turtle]

Ursaring zangoose

I think I need criticism

#1275914407574245477

[limpid sphinx]

oh the reverse

[near horizon]

#1275912079018033215 for sfx text

[agile quest]

now i gotta figure out which of these to submit and which one to axe

pretty sure im keeping darkrai. i really like how it turned out

[supple epoch]

Did a thing for today's movie night

[agile quest]

that is so cute

[gleaming acorn]

The fabric results are killing me, theres so many really fantastic ones, complex and with real weight to the fabric and with detailed designs

And then theres my guy snuck in among them

[agile quest]

i love it

[worthy turtle]

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, I'm trying both

[agile quest]

sometime i wanna revisit my carvanha/shuppet i made and fix the fabric because i made it really quickly so i could have carpet be my sprite lol

[civic mauve]

Your guy is adorable. The face is so good

[gleaming acorn]

I almsot submitted him without the yellow, but luckily I got some good advice with my feedback

Oh shit new icon

[icy rivet]

@cedar quest Sweet! We get THREE annoying tagalong legend movies in a row!

[subtle moss]

Hey, so, for the SFX awards

it doesn;t say anywhere that it has to be the western alphabet.

Food for thought.

[near horizon]

I LOVE dovahzul

[cedar quest]

I know, awesome

[gleaming acorn]

Do Manaphy next

[cloud solstice]

which one's next?

[cedar quest]

Detective

Pika

Is after this one

And the final movie night for fusion day

[near horizon]

Pokémon live action, so you get to see a kid bullied by a ton of birds

[icy rivet]

Personally of the Gen 3 movies, I like Lucario and Manaphy the most. Deoxys has a good opening battle and unique plot, but the actual story falls flat. Jirachi is just meandering for most of the run.

https://tenor.com/view/jirachi-gif-6463025034516338175

[spare breach]

too bad i'm probably not going to be at the last movie since its gonna be my mom's birthday

[dense jackal]

lucario and manaphy is gen 3?

[cedar quest]

Wtf

Jirachi

Flip??????????????

[icy rivet]

Lucario is the final gen 3, Manaphy still had May so it’s Gen 3 despite advertising the Ranger games and Gen 4 more

[spare breach]

https://tenor.com/view/jirachi-jirachi-spinning-jirachi-spin-gif-26683243

[slender thunder]

lucario and manaphy are not gen 3 Pokémon

[gleaming acorn]

Yep! Lucario premiered in the Movie and only had its Game Debut later on!

[rapid knot]

The first Pokemon Ranger game was a gen 3 game

[icy rivet]

Movies like to ad the next games. Zorua is a Gen 4 movie despite a Gen 5 mon

[rapid knot]

It also later got a special event where you could send manaphy to your gen 4 game

[dense jackal]

not even a mythic/legendary and showing up before release date. Respectable 😮

[spare breach]

lucario was also shown on the first mystery dungeon iirc

[rapid knot]

Yep, and those games were gen 3 as well

[slender thunder]

they knew itd be popular

[icy rivet]

At least Manaphy had reason to be annoying since it was, you know, A BABY

[slender thunder]

Or they wanted it to be

[supple epoch]

Another one

[icy rivet]

No excuse for Jirachi being an ass

[gleaming acorn]

iirc Donphan was actually the first Pokemon (Episode 1 Ho-Oh nonwithstanding) to show up on the screen before Gen 2 Games came out

[cedar quest]

A lot of Gen 4 Pokemon technically has premiers a bit earlier

[icy rivet]

Togepi but yeah

[cedar quest]

There's the statues in the PMD games

[icy rivet]

Togepi’s whole thing was it had no Dex info as gen 2 wasn’t a thing

[near horizon]

Jirachi is eepy and you wake it from a 1000 year sleep, of course it won't be happy

[rapid knot]

You could get a lucario statue in rescue team, and the highest rank attainable was called Lucario Rank

Jirachi is just an annoying little kid

[icy rivet]

No. “Secret Rank”

[rapid knot]

I thought that was just in explorers?

[icy rivet]

On the heels of Hoopa and Shaymin this isn’t gonna be a fun movie chat lol

[cedar quest]

I thought Secret Rank was Mime.Jr?

I know it's like

[icy rivet]

Secret was Scizor iirc

[rapid knot]

Yeah, Secret Rank wasn't in the rescue games

[icy rivet]

Yes it was

I remember that much

[rapid knot]

There's nothing about it on bulbapedia

[icy rivet]

Check Serebii

I could swear it’s on there. Or I’m misremembering a game I played 15+ years ago

[icy rivet]

I stand corrected

What is right pic then?

[rapid knot]

Explorers

[icy rivet]

Ah yep. Conflated the two

[rapid knot]

I played tons of pmd too, you know

I've maxxed out my rank in every pmd game I've played

[near horizon]

[icy rivet]

Put that popcorn away!

[rapid knot]

No, don't

I want some

[icy rivet]

Want mine?

[rapid knot]

No

[icy rivet]

More for me

[rapid knot]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-cat-licking-lips-kitty-cute-gif-17804324

[near horizon]

[cedar quest]

Coulda swore there was one with like

Munchlax & Mime.Jr statues

[mellow wagon]

[icy rivet]

That’s tescue team and tied to other conditions

[wind matrix]

[gleaming acorn]

Someone has to vote Minior

[tulip tusk]

it's a silly little guy I have to vote for it

[torpid bough]

Well, another little thing for the special vote I guess

But is good

[supple epoch]

Got a lot of good bases from today

[carmine falcon]

[cedar quest]

Almost

[snow pendant]

Good job firesword

[tired jay]

Wow on my screen I wasn't last

[spare breach]

[raw horizon]

it was you for me

[supple epoch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyC6g2GHU10

[snow pendant]

Wait

Why are you up at 2am?

[tired jay]

Mightyena gets a 3 vote if a top hat sprite gets made

[carmine falcon]

to watch the movie

ofc

(and I did school assigments on the background too)

[tired jay]

So that means I got last message on 3 movies I think

[snow pendant]

I guess that works

[raw horizon]

nice, that was the first one i watched, been busy lateley with school starting and stuff

[snow pendant]

Good luck in school friends

[heady panther]

No one has apposed me for last gif

[carmine falcon]

I got a whole week left

And I was unresponsible with my assigments

so I am cooked chat

DO NOT SPRITE all summer vacation IT WILL GET YOU NOWHERE

not even a pokefan

[heady panther]

I'm not excited for school 😦

[carmine falcon]

same

[raw horizon]

thats what i did

[raw horizon]

it bad

[carmine falcon]

I guess we're on the same page 👍

[heady panther]

I gamed all summer

Near the end I sprited

[carmine falcon]

school's hard af just because socializing sucks especially with people that are just annoying as hell

If I went to school with my friends only it would be so good

[raw horizon]

im in a class with only 1 other person, them being my friend

[heady panther]

All the people in the younger grades me and my friends don't like

[supple epoch]

How often will the movie nights be after Friday? Once every week? Every 2 weeks?

[raw horizon]

same

[carmine falcon]

2 weeks sounds reasonable imo

[cedar quest]

We shall see

[carmine falcon]

it needs to be in a better time though

[cedar quest]

Because

[carmine falcon]

cause I won't be staying up til

2 am

after school starts

[heady panther]

Half my friend group is also gone so it's boutta be boring af

[cedar quest]

Truth be told it depends on my own availability to well stream them

[tired jay]

https://tenor.com/view/sure-john-cena-are-you-sure-gif-5783187

[supple epoch]

Maybe it can be on weekends?

[carmine falcon]

weekends

is actually perfect-

for me atleast

cause no school and stuff

[cedar quest]

Yeah that is probably what I'll do

[subtle moss]

the fact that the text appears early on that gif bothers me so much

[cedar quest]

But like on the days n' such will probably be inconsistent

Sometimes 2 in a row other times 3 weeks apart

[tired jay]

Same, but the other option had text all the time

[carmine falcon]

can we watch the alolan leauge first

[heady panther]

Bruh I got hockey starting meaning I won't be here for a few movies most likely

[carmine falcon]

we need lycanroc bases

[tired jay]

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-sure-john-cena-ru-sure-about-dat-gif-14258954

[cedar quest]

I like doing movie nights, but like, I gotta make sure I'm good to do 'em and don't sacrifice important stuff just to do them

[carmine falcon]

[tired jay]

Wait I found the better one

https://tenor.com/view/wwe-john-cena-are-you-sure-about-that-gif-16752399

[carmine falcon]

we need more deltarune bangers 🔥 🔥

[heady panther]

Although after hockey I don't have anything till 3v3

Then I have 3v3 and soccer

After that it's summer and I don't have anything

[carmine falcon]

other than school all I do is uhmm

practice instruments

[heady panther]

Oh yeah

[carmine falcon]

and sometimes do shows and stuffs

[heady panther]

I have piano starting soon

[carmine falcon]

so I am generally free on weekends

[raw horizon]

im doing tennis(thats all over the place) then esports, during that i have, FFA and beta clubs

[icy rivet]

My weekends vary but I have next weekend cleared out

[carmine falcon]

everyday when summer vacation is closer to end is every day I feel sadder

I do NOT wanna learn Math again

[heady panther]

I can relate

[raw horizon]

i learning some polynomial crap

[icy rivet]

At least you have it! Local high school starts at end of July!

[carmine falcon]

I'm ok with math my brain is just too smooth for it

[heady panther]

Math is boutta be so annoying this year

[icy rivet]

And ends in June!

[heady panther]

Oof

[carmine falcon]

atleast this year is considered easy

so that's good

[raw horizon]

what is it?

[heady panther]

I'm lucky though because both schools I've gone to give a little bit of homework

Usually it's unfinished assignments

[icy rivet]

Americans been pushing to remove Summer Vacation in favor of year round schooling with scattered week offs throughout.
Glad I got out when I did

[carmine falcon]

the transision grade between middle school and high school, so basically the first half we learn, the 2nd half we are preparing for like a party thingy

[raw horizon]

oh yeah, im in AP english

[carmine falcon]

High school is when it starts to get hard in my country according to varying sources

[raw horizon]

imma die in the corner

[tired jay]

Oh that sound horrible

[heady panther]

I don't have middle school 😎

[carmine falcon]

middle school is the worst

[heady panther]

Although it's considered middle

[icy rivet]

Yeah. End of year for the local school is June 15, starts July 30

[heady panther]

Canada goes from elementary to high

[carmine falcon]

everyone unconfident thinks everyone else IS confident is jealous and knows nothing about life

AND I AM NOT EXCLUDING MYSELF FROM IT

[icy rivet]

But it affects me not as I moved here like 10 years after High School

[heady panther]

Middle school in canada is just elementary

[raw horizon]

im almost out of high school tho so thats good atleast

[heady panther]

Although you do learn the same stuff

[carmine falcon]

My schedule in middle school is really good since there are barely enough teachers to teach us stuff

so we have days where we get off at like

11:50

[icy rivet]

Wow

[carmine falcon]

am

ALTHOUGH

[raw horizon]

i live in a school with less than 200 kids

[carmine falcon]

it sucks

CAUSE IT TAKES ME TONS OF TIME

to come back home anyway

and busses do not come that often that early

[heady panther]

How hard is high-school?

[raw horizon]

bad

[carmine falcon]

yeah tell me frfr

I still haven't studied seriously for an exam ever

and I get pretty good grades

I got like 91 average last year-

[raw horizon]

not fun, people are judgey

[heady panther]

I'm going into high school next year and I'm not excited

[carmine falcon]

Same!

[raw horizon]

ooooo, freshies get the worst of it, bottom of the food chain

[carmine falcon]

they're in middle school too

[heady panther]

At least I'll see my other half of the friend group

[raw horizon]

nah but more

[carmine falcon]

am I cooked chat?

[raw horizon]

prob

[heady panther]

Woofa how bad is middle school

[raw horizon]

yall will be fine

[carmine falcon]

I see people who talk about pokemon in my school get bullied so I am staying quiet

[raw horizon]

i remember it being the worst years of my life sooooo

[carmine falcon]

can't be that bad

[heady panther]

I'm happy I get elementary instead of middle

[carmine falcon]

I had some bad years

THAT I DO NOT WANNA TALK ABOUT

[raw horizon]

i will say middle is the worst but high is still bad

[heady panther]

I'm not gonna talk about PIF in school at all though

[carmine falcon]

same

[heady panther]

Don't feel like getting bullied/made fun of

[raw horizon]

being quiet is gonna make that happen still

[cedar quest]

Or better yet, deal with IF outside of the server

[carmine falcon]

can confirm 👍

being introverted leads to more interactions somehow

[heady panther]

I'd rather not talk about pif

[carmine falcon]

So you always have to keep the balance of introverted and extroverted, I can't be extroverted so I am left to deal with people

and that is not fun

[raw horizon]

nah, small town, everyone is pretty chill but there are some people that are just A holes

[heady panther]

I'm introverted but I have a few friends I'm comfortable with

[raw horizon]

i used to be reall socially anxios but then i got over it

jk

[carmine falcon]

imagine being socially anxious? couldn't be me

[heady panther]

I wait for people to make friends with me

[carmine falcon]

I blame most of my bad social skills on my country's culture

[raw horizon]

im not the most social person but im more out there then what i used to be

[heady panther]

Although hockey helps with making friends

[carmine falcon]

it's very uhmm "closed minded" if you know what I mean

[heady panther]

Sports in general helps

[carmine falcon]

most people are really ignorant

[raw horizon]

i gtg, have fun in school. dont die

[heady panther]

Ok... wait what

[true jasper]

How often is movie night? I missed it 😦

[crude cedar]

#announcements message there's a full schedule here

[heady panther]

I just realized how hard it's gonna be to draw lugias feet

[supple epoch]

I did another in tribute of the Jirachi movie

[heady panther]

Noice

[vale shadow]

Okay I've cleaned up the line work for the Seviper/Kingler fusion as well as changed a few things

[supple epoch]

Will we get an announcement of a winner soon?

[torpid bough]

In some hours or tomorrow

[vale shadow]

Okay how do I submit my art for this?

[limpid sphinx]

you can find the drive on the announce

[vale shadow]

Right, than I just add it?

[limpid sphinx]

yep, with the right file name

[vale shadow]

Okay it defaults it to a pdf, do I just change the file to a PNG or is there more to it?

I'm a tad nervous about getting this wrong

[limpid sphinx]

png yeah

[limpid sphinx]

dw XD

[gleaming acorn]

Looks like you uploaded it as a pdf anyway

What kind of program did you use to make it? I've never heard of an art program that defaults to pdf as a format

[vale shadow]

I'm trying to fix that

I'm on mobile rn

[gleaming acorn]

Oh mobile is cruel, especially in combo with Google Drive

[vale shadow]

Of course it is

[gleaming acorn]

You have six days to fight with it

[vale shadow]

Oh it worked
I really was over complicating things

[cyan gull]

If it kept giving you trouble I would've told you to DM me it, but seems you got it sorted out

[little cypress]

this has been a transition for nearly two decades, and numerous studies have actually shown that A) summer break being to long leads to a significant amount of material previously learned being forgotten, and B) incredibly dense semesters in grade school with few breaks leads to burnout for students, teachers, and faculty.
Actually, the year-round schooling calendar was considered too progressive two decades ago, but many states started transitioning to it slowly anyway.
Now, however, some of the states that had made progress to year-round scholastic years (such as Tennesse) are refusing to shorten the school year and increase summer breaks, while northern states with cooler climates are lengthening summer in an attempt to keep kids OUT of the excessive heat and increased risks for heat-related illness.

[supple epoch]

Okiley Dokily for the movie date change

[cedar quest]

The reason for the change I think is pretty awesome

I changed the date....so I can account for a date change in a drinking game I'm in

[tired mantle]

that's so awesome

actually can we just scrap the movie night and do a drinking game every week that would be even more awesome

[little cypress]

Honestly the reason doesn't appeal to me but I don't care that much, I'm upset because I'd actually watch the movie if it were still the 23rd, I work on the 25th

[icy rivet]

Fair enough. At least you changed it to a day where my schedule is even more free!
… knowing the subject of the movie, maybe I will do a personal challenge. Drinking game, but with sweets! (Diets suck)

[icy jasper]

Imagine seeing later Gens in a detective Pikachu sequel

[sly shuttle]

What should I make for this concept contest? I’m just limiting myself to the most popular 3 IF-Pokemon

Fusing with Volbeat basically guarantees a win

[icy rivet]

Well apparently they found their script writer as of this month

So maybe?

We have a director, two writers (one eng, one jp) and a rumored Ryan Renolds

All the info I can find

[plucky arch]

does ryan reynolds get turned back into a pikachu or what

[cloud pulsar]

the seaking is funny looking

seaking body*

[pastel fog]

@primal iron I just noticed the concept artworks you uploaded to the contest drive, and they're amazing!! But there's the third rule of the contest:
3. MUST be a Pokémon eligible for the vote Non-IF + IF mon

your two concepts are both made outta Pokemon that are already in IF, you might wanna upload something else that meets the rule 💦

there's a list of vote-eligible non-IF mons attached to the announcement post that you can fuse with an IF mon (basically everything from gen 3-7 that's not in the game yet, minus starters, legendaries, mythicals, ultra beasts, and mega/primal/regional forms)

[lusty pewter]

actually I just realize do we need to post the concept art in #1263858526829416539 first before submitting like we do with sprite and spritework or can we just submit immediately?

[pastel fog]

Nah, you don't have to go through the channels for any types of contests. #1050404143807873157 and #1263858526829416539 are only for submitting stuff for the game :>

but you can post your concept into #1263858526829416539 if you want some feedback!

[jaunty estuary]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa second place! tysm pix

[slim oar]

It should be noted that Trubbish, Garbodor, and Hawlucha are listed on the text doc for eligible non-IF mons. They've been added to the game.

[lusty pewter]

congrats! :D

[jaunty estuary]

ty! your sprite was amazing too ^^

[lusty pewter]

thx :3

I'll beat you next time >:3

[jaunty estuary]

scale contest then? >:3

[lusty pewter]

maybe, although I haven't got any ideas yet due to concept art contest

[jaunty estuary]

youve got a few more days

only two entries in the drive folder rn anyway lol

[lusty pewter]

👀

if no one post anything then I can post whatever and guaranteed at least 3rd place. 100% legit strat

[jaunty estuary]

unfortunately hero.drawing already has two entries lined up

[lusty pewter]

yeah I don't think I'm winning then, the top 2 gonna be hero's entry, they're a god of tyrantrum fusions :(

[jaunty estuary]

im up for the challenge

i just dont have any ideas for tyrantrum heads 😓

[lusty pewter]

how about fusing it with itself and give it a bunch of bigger sharper scales 👀

or how about donphant for a sonic-like scal-y wheel design

[jaunty estuary]

ooooo i like the sound of that donphan one

imma steal that idea

[lusty pewter]

the saddest part of the scale sfx here is that I'm a melo specialist (kinda) and melo body is way too small to show scales so I gotta use a dif fusion

[lusty pewter]

and now it's officially a collab, I get to join without working

[jaunty estuary]

you dont have to keep doing meloettas

im a noibat body specialist

[lusty pewter]

no I def don't, but melo... sad crying sounds

ooh noi-noi? 👀

[jaunty estuary]

18 of my 67 sprites are noibats

[lusty pewter]

damn

I think I have the opposite of those numbers, out of the 60+ sprites I made more than 50 are meloetta (either as head or body)

I have the poke fan role before the great spriter role

[jaunty estuary]

101/115

thats a lot of meloettas

[lusty pewter]

yeah XD

also I think those are inflated due to alts

without alts I def made less than 100

after all I made notes of what I sprite

[jaunty estuary]

oooo the bubble on the milotic is rly nice :0

[lusty pewter]

thx :3

[cyan gull]

Meloetta is both fun and painful to sprite

[lusty pewter]

as someone who sprite mostly melo sprites I can affirm that statement. the pain of spriting on that small body can be hell sometimes, especiall if you want to fit in a lot of details

[little cypress]

The real question: is it worth it?! ||Personally if say your sprites are definitrky worth it ||

[lusty pewter]

def worth lol, but this should be a warning to anyone trying to be fancy with melo body fusion, don't do it unless you're prepared XD

[little cypress]

Sounds like UN fusions too

[lusty pewter]

good to know cuz I have an UN fusion idea in mind for the scale texture contest :D

why do I keep doing this to myself

[south meteor]

As someone who tried to put Genshin level details on my first ever sprite which was a Meloetta, I too attest to the challenge of choosing and placing details on a Melo-sized body. Unknowingly, I made it about 10% bigger in the process.. but experience was gained.
At least it leaves a lot of empty space to fill with flashy backgrounds and effects.

[primal iron]

Oh, i missread, i thought it was any IF + the option of those non IF ones, thank you I'll remove them

[lusty pewter]

tis' the melo spriter's baptism, you shall suffer from overly complex dress design until you succeed

[little cypress]

masochist

[little cypress]

also masochist

[lusty pewter]

rude, I prefer the term "insane"

https://tenor.com/view/vaas-definitionofinsanity-farcry3-insanity-gif-4899376

[south meteor]

The pursuit of beauty at the cost of myself is my goal, yeah.

[subtle moss]

the insanity of definitions

[valid fractal]

ehh

[little cypress]

I'm not sure insane is less severe than masochist, though?

[lusty pewter]

it's not, I just don't want to be falsely labeled

[little cypress]

is it false if they are both true? They aren't mutually exclusive

[lusty pewter]

I'm 100% without a shadow of a doubt not a masochist sweats profusely

[south meteor]

I kind of wish this emote has a pink version.

Anyway, I've yet to make a design for a Gothitelle and Meloetta fusion.. Busy with other ones.

[lusty pewter]

pink despair, so you can cry in anguish while being fabulous :3

[lusty pewter]

ooh looking forward to that design

I just finished my first concept art for the contest

[south meteor]

I feel like I'm gunna be one of maybe 3 of the same concept since the body mon I'm using is a popular one.

[lusty pewter]

is it gardevoir?

[south meteor]

Yuh

I wonder about the mon you're using for a Meloetta concept. 👀

[lusty pewter]

posted one of them to the drive already so you could peak if you want 👀

[fathom glade]

Hi

Would anyone like to give me an idea for the if mon im fusing with skitty

I wanna do smth pretty

(But not gardevoir someone did that for elusive pokedex)

[south meteor]

Gothitelle

[fathom glade]

An if mon

[lusty pewter]

I would suggest meloetta but someone already did it, how about milotic?

[fathom glade]

Milotic sounds like a good idea
