alts, non-if pokemon combos, bases, etc

things I made transparent for my wife

[crystal folio]

are there any problems with using a reference sprite for the spriter bingo? planning to use the BTD aipom for norman

[whole arrow]

I mean.... 🔨

[broken robin]

since bingo is essentially for fun, you can do that

[limpid sphinx]

not really lmao

i love it so much

well that image could works on 2022 but we r not having that much torterras on the podium recently

[broken robin]

we havent had many contests period to be fair

[limpid sphinx]

cuz believe me or not... to make a good torterra u have to make it works 🤤

[limpid sphinx]

mmm

12 on 2024, 1 torterra
20 on 2023, 1 torterra
16 on 2022, 6 torterra's

well

looks like using torterra for contest its not that much on meta right d:

but if u make it looks amazing, u have a chance

like... believe me or not... every other mon D:

so.. hmm.. yeah that image works on 2022 but we r already on 2024 so... xd

[spring hemlock]

i have my idea for this contest, have to get it done in my weekend burst

[whole arrow]

lately meta is scattered

which is great

[spring hemlock]

it should be scattered lol, we needa fill up the rest of these sprites asap

i want more

[whole arrow]

like we had 2 flareons place highly in something recently finish the line i think

[spring hemlock]

was it for the eeveelution one

[whole arrow]

it was flareon/clefairy

whichever one that was made for

[spring hemlock]

yeah i think that was the eeveelution one

[whole arrow]

ah well clefairy placed highly then!

[tulip tusk]

torterra contest when

[spring hemlock]

october torterra rush

[whole arrow]

Earth Day 2025?

[whole arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/toad-kinopio-super-mario-earthquake-gif-7988646668940674734

hm... Pangaea Torterra/Necrozma

[spring hemlock]

kommo-o/torterra

[whole arrow]

A blacksmith on his back making armor

[acoustic saddle]

it wasnt?

[limpid sphinx]

volcarona have like 8 podium appearences while torterra like almost 20 ig xd

but yeah recently volcarona appears more

[spring hemlock]

general idea for event (first time going off of my own concept )

will be adding more sparkly effects and such

[limpid sphinx]

love that dress!

[spring hemlock]

gonna attempt to style it after my last gardevoir fusion, hoping the idea works out like how i am imagining it

[whole arrow]

so wait we can or cannot share concepts in here?

was the ruling "dont do it when there are votes going on"?

[limpid sphinx]

yeah its more like that yeah

[whole arrow]

oki

[limpid sphinx]

cuz it can influenciate the community to vote, and when its pop polls u can only choice one

and staff judge is not biased or influenced for this type of stuff so its not a problem

[mighty stump]

Hey event peeps, does "no collabs" mean you can't use bases made by others or is that still okay?

[whole arrow]

you can absolutely use bases

to get specific tho, it would be collabing if you asked someone to make you a pose that benefits your specific idea

also no concept arts!

[mighty stump]

Okay thankyou, I thought that was how it worked but I wasn't 100% sure

[limpid sphinx]

just pay attention cuz some artists dont let you use their bases for contests

[mighty stump]

Got it 👍

[plucky arch]

i encourage the use of my bases, if you win with my base youre cooler then everyone else cause youre on hard mode :smirkball:

[whole arrow]

look what NTM told me to draw

"can you draw a lurantis carbink with a strawberry body"

not sure if regular strawberry color is worth branching out for

[jaunty estuary]

very cute

[mighty heath]

Nah, pink is best

[mighty heath]

How do you know if they do? Check assets?

[dense jackal]

Yeah. There'll be a message with the sprite in asset gallery

[little cypress]

typically if it's not with the base (in the post) then it can't be expected that you'd know. So if you're getting bases from the proper place (asset gallery), it will be apparent

[red vigil]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1281202117566005309 do you think he can make it to the top 10 at least ?

[jaunty estuary]

yes ^^

[jaunty estuary]

i have question about the carbink/sableye contest

will it be judged or will it be a public poll?

[mortal void]

That’s weird I was literally about to ask that

also would like to know (no, not to try and ‘game the meta’, more to manage my own time/effort )

[jaunty estuary]

id like to know because its my first contest lol

ive done other events before

but no contest

[mortal void]

I only say because the last time I asked why they don’t specify on the post that’s the reason I got given which sure it might apply to some trying to game the system but it also feels unfair to withhold what people are getting into

Some people don’t want judging and some people don’t want community voting, it would be nice to know

[limpid sphinx]

im not sure but

#event-general message

gamr said that yesterday

so i think its gonna be staff judge yea

[jaunty estuary]

ty ^^

[cedar quest]

Zero chance in hell it's pills this time around, nor probably the next few

the gap is driving my sense for completion insane lol

[molten crater]

wow gen 6 before gen 5 is actually lame

[worthy turtle]

491?!

[plucky arch]

frog

frog your numbers are wrong frog

[worthy turtle]

@vast jay i think your numbers are still wrong

shouldnt it be 479, 480, 481?

[eager wyvern]

give us gen 5 starters, I'm very pissed that they were skipped

[plucky arch]

skill issue its serperiover

[graceful plank]

it's been edited now

[plucky arch]

thats 15 unreleased mons

[heady panther]

what does frog mean by "We'll be adding more new Pokémon to the game until we reach 500 Pokédex entries in total!"

[little cypress]

[heady panther]

confused on the 500 pokedex entries in total part

[dense jackal]

Greninja is number 487 = 487 in total. They'll add Pokémon until something is number 500

[plucky arch]

500 different mons

[heady panther]

[limpid sphinx]

15 more mons

[heady panther]

that's a lot more than the contest

[rich hemlock]

so many new pokemon added

Fashionlocke Rules: (May Be Updated Once More Info Is Available)

• If a Pokémon faints, it is dead. If a fusion faints, both parts are dead.
• Set Battle Style
• All Pokémon must wear a unique hat.
• All Pokémon must be nicknamed.
• Each new hat is an encounter. The next Pokémon you encounter on a unique route. If you fuse this Pokémon it must be the Head (cause heads wear hats)
• The first Pokémon you encounter on a Hat-less, unique route is Fusion Fodder. It can be fused to any Pokémon you have at any time, but can not be used in any battle.
• Nuzlocke begins when you get your first Hat
• The Player Character must be Bald
• (Optional) No Items in Battle
• (Optional) Level Cap for Major Battles

behold

[rich hemlock]

yknow i just counted, we already at like 20 lurantis bases

[heady panther]

mines looking like this so far (no way I get close to winning)

also working on this lil guy

[plucky arch]

easier hatability

g

gh

i feel it

like acid bubbling in my gut

it calls to me

were back

[heady panther]

speaking of bald @plucky arch

[placid briar]

its beacsue in the poll they did last year, the popularity of the starters were .

1st: Kalos
2nd: Alola
3rd: Unova

so if they follow that, then the next time they add Starters its gonna be the Alola trio

[plucky arch]

TRUE

[plucky arch]

REAL

[heady panther]

we need that as a player sprite

[rich hemlock]

damn rip unova starters

i can see people wanting alola starters more but im kinda shocked ngl that kalos was number 1

[formal river]

That actually sounds like a fin challenge wheres the first hat in regular mode tho?

[tired jay]

The one you start with technically

[tired jay]

But what if I want to have nice hair with my hats

[plucky arch]

no clue update not out yet

[plucky arch]

WRONG trainer cant wear a hat

all the hats are given to the pokemon

[tired jay]

You still keep the hat, you just dupe to give the pokemon

But also, what if I want nice hair to go with my team

[plucky arch]

WRONG

only 1 hat

part of the nuzlocke

its lore

[acoustic saddle]

whats hat

[plucky arch]

theyre adding hats in the new update

No monkeys.

I love monkeys!

[white wagon]

daaaaamn, so many new mons! We recently reached 50% dex completion, just in time to go below the bar again

[acoustic saddle]

if u look at the color react, frog man removes yellow, now we only have red green blue,

the trio has that color for now r the gen 6 legend

[heady panther]

why

[lusty pewter]

cuz the party never stops when they're here 😎

[granite dawn]

I just realized that the all that glitters event existed

guess my carbink gengar can make it in

[jaunty estuary]

its a rly nice sprite ^^

the crystals especially

thinking of using them as a study for a possible third entry

[granite dawn]

meanwhile I'm studying soreile's

that torterra fusion is absolutely insane

🤔

[jaunty estuary]

thats a lotta shades

[granite dawn]

it's actually 9 colors

but hey, I like to experiment

but yeah it may be a bit too much

hmmm

gonna try again

[ashen sapphire]

for adding pink iridescence you really only need 2 bonus shades

the way u did it implies curved surfaces

[granite dawn]

yeah yeah

I'm still experimenting

[ashen sapphire]

for the rainbow iridescence on my torterra I used the following setup:

-white highlight
-main cyan
-blue shadow 1
-blue shadow 2

then I interspersed the other colors into the main cyan only

[granite dawn]

trying gradients

[ashen sapphire]

left the shadows and the white untouched

gives you a 'blue with iridescence' final look

[granite dawn]

Ok, I think I found the gradient I like while also being in my style

took me many attempts

[minor garnet]

I could always do a cursed mime

for the fun of it

[cinder stag]

or

a non cursed mime

[jagged hinge]

do a Bisharp body

[granite dawn]

damn, got it mixed

it's actually a banger idea tho ngl

[tranquil fable]

What Carbink should I made next...

[cinder stag]

carbink/ bidoof

[tranquil fable]

Wait, it appears that no one made Carbink/Geodude...

[jagged hinge]

Is not that cursed

[granite dawn]

yeah it looks as a muppet as someone said so I kept it because it was funny

[cedar quest]

gamers

I know the stage is closed n' all

But I figured y'all just had to see this

[random girder]

whens the next stream gordo

[cedar quest]

IDK

Not my playthrough

[plucky arch]

tbf he did get 5 mons killed before his first badge

[cyan gull]

I sacrificed them for humor

[plucky arch]

you gotta get hu-more funny gottem

[granite dawn]

I like how this turned out

[plucky arch]

carbink moment

ive been craving a PIF playthru

im too impatient to wait to do the Fashionlocke ill just do a nuzlocke

[molten crater]

beat it without using any fully-evolved pokémon, and without preventing any kind of evolution

[jagged hinge]

Ohhh this sounds cool, you would be limited to stone mons

[molten crater]

I... actually meant to be more restrictive than that, because if you have access to a stone and you do not use it you are in a way preventing your mon from evolving, so those would also not be allowed. Same for trading, turning your console upside down, etc. So you'd be limited to mons that evolve at higher levels like zweilous, dragonair and stuff like that. I'm not sure if it is doable tho

[jagged hinge]

I mean then you just can’t beat the elite 4 I think

[molten crater]

maybe...

[heady panther]

what could I add to this to make it more than a reskin

[jagged hinge]

make the eyes more like carbink and add some fluff somewhere

[heady panther]

any places in specific that I could put more fluff

because I have no idea where

[dawn prairie]

Shoulder pads, knees, maybe a collar or something else on the face

[cyan gull]

no, it goes head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!

https://tenor.com/view/head-shoulders-knees-and-toes-gif-6057161449859622114

[heady panther]

I leeaarnt it as head, shoulders, knees and toes (x3)

[heady panther]

the knees I kind of switch the color of the old white that was there to match carbink

ill try doing it on the neck

hard to identify where exactly to put it on the neck

[tranquil fable]

#1282051984748187709 wich one should I post to the event?

[placid briar]

if Carbink is the head, then probably make the body more rocky texture

transform some of the scales into gems

like, instead of the perfect circles, have jaggy edges that jut out

[cloud pulsar]

facts

[plucky arch]

i just tried to type in #recurring-events im regressing

[woven kettle]

Sorry guys, forgot to include the Drive

Dumbass of me

[little cypress]

The blue is the correct palette but you could mix and match them. Make the leaves green and other crystals blue?

[little cypress]

And then whichever you don’t keep, submit ALL of the rest to #1266865605038833726

more gems

[jagged hinge]

can you use the same sprite in 2 contests? for example, the say royale and the all that glitters contest

[lusty pewter]

as long as it fits both contest criteria and is made after they are announced (since most contest only take entries that is made after their announcement) then yeah you can

[cyan gull]

any ideas on the name?

[lusty pewter]

LC 2.0

[granite dawn]

I think that 4 contest entries are enough for the carbink contest

idk what else to do

[acoustic saddle]

:v why so many entries this time

that mean one person can win all the podium lol

[acoustic saddle]

u could do a sableye?

[granite dawn]

didn't people do sableye already?

[granite dawn]

because I like drawing gems

[acoustic saddle]

they both have gems

[acoustic saddle]

u can do using new mon, like gae frog

[sly shuttle]

Did you make Carbink body?

[lusty pewter]

I do, working on melo/carbink after carbink/melo

then if I have enough time I might do sableye/melo

tho 5th entry still undecided

[uncut shadow]

when does the carbink event end?

[sly shuttle]

3 more days

[cinder stag]

oh true

maybe i should finish the rest of the line

[regal palm]

Man looking at the Glitters drive there's so many insane Carbink fusions

[lusty pewter]

if we do enough carbink we might get diancie :)

[regal palm]

I think the Carbink fusions have proven Diancie is a necessity

[lusty pewter]

that and ribbon's diancie fusions

[regal palm]

What would Diancies triple fusion be

[cinder stag]

Diancie, Carbink, sableye

ULTRA GEM

[lusty pewter]

well someone did a custom diancie double fusion before, it as a very... unique design

[granite dawn]

greninja is not gay

I say this as a gay water starter connoiseur

I could do a cool double carbink now that you mention it though

like diancie being a princess

I could make prince carbink

idk

[jagged hinge]

Quaquaval

is it possible to see wich pokemons are this fusion for?

and also how is the gem shading looking?

[shrewd garnet]

looks more like ice to me

[dense jackal]

My best guess would be a ||carbink/sudowoodo|| but i'm only about 25% confident

[jagged hinge]

well it is that one

[shrewd garnet]

i was thinking regice tbh

[jagged hinge]

idk how to improve the gems and making then not look like ice

[shrewd garnet]

needs more grey rocks to convey carbink

and the white scarf thigny

[jagged hinge]

well ill see if i can salvage the sprite

i think im going to give it a bowtie

[shrewd garnet]

it needs rocks

[cinder stag]

yeah rocks are needed

[shrewd garnet]

carbink is mostly rock with a few small jewels here and there

[jagged hinge]

yeah i wanted the fusion to be like an area zero tree but it doesnt really look like that

[jagged hinge]

im not sure how to implement the fluff any ideas?

[red vigil]

on the mounth

[jagged hinge]

how is this looking?

[red vigil]

he looks goofy XD

[jagged hinge]

i think its ready for spritework

[granite dawn]

no

[granite dawn]

yeah and I love quaquaval

[jagged hinge]

Quaquaval best duck

[jagged hinge]

Is it readable now? There is another version above

[granite dawn]

yeah currently yes

wtf is that jigglypuff/jigglypuff lmao

on the blitz

[crude cedar]

it's an anime reference to giant jigglypuff

It's an early episode about a bunch of huge mons https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/TB074:_The_Ancient_Puzzle_of_Pokémopolis

[gusty frost]

wait i though it was sukuna

[crude cedar]

I could see that, Sukuna has similar markings for sure!

[cinder stag]

oh ok

i have no clue about the anime

[plucky arch]

@naive summit is spritober real this year?

[dense jackal]

Not really sure what the prisms contest is looking for. Is it about splitting light/refraction?
Or is it more simply anything with something transparent and faceted, aka crystals and ice?

[dense jackal]

Why, are you going to do something about it if it isn't?

[civic mauve]

The latter

Tho I’d love an sfx contest based on the former ^^

[plucky arch]

yes

ill just use the idea i had last year

but i know howls was the one trying to organize it last year before it got interrupted

i also have a different event idea but idk how much we need another event

[dense jackal]

I'd be very curious to hear what it is

[plucky arch]

nah, its bad

[dense jackal]

Well, that's fine. There's a very good chance of me falling asleep before you actually typed it out, and I didn't want to be rude like that - so this really takes the pressure off

[naive summit]

I don't know actually 😭

[plucky arch]

its last year all over again

they should just give you reveal plans and allow you to coordinate smhsmh 😔

also which staff Arent on hiatus rn

[sly shuttle]

#staff-presentations Could be useful for figuring that out

[plucky arch]

so mainly mods

[heady panther]

different toes

also I "borrowed" some of vanilluxe's spikes

[plucky arch]

WOO we love vanilluxe

[jagged hinge]

#1282394418124427354 how is this looking?

[heady panther]

what should I do for the bottom

[jagged hinge]

a big log with a hole were red light comes from

[heady panther]

ok ill try it

[signal nexus]

i figured out how to upload a contest entry to the drive!

[signal nexus]

or petrified wood stump, but definitely have the red light

[cobalt cloak]

Mazbe some roots coming out of the stone or moss

[jagged hinge]

#1282394418124427354 is this ready to be summited?

[plucky arch]

it looks a lot more like carbink now

[signal nexus]

We gonna climb it?

[jagged hinge]

humm if you want to i guess you could

[signal nexus]

Heh, now that gives me an idea for a carbink^2 sprite - an entire-ass mountain
🤔 maybe more of a boldore^2 concept

[jagged hinge]

go for it, but do you have any feedback for mine

[heady panther]

I would for trevenant but phantump doesn't have roots so I didn't plan on adding them

[heady panther]

not the worst but not the best either

@jagged hinge

whats better?

[jagged hinge]

I like this one more, maybe you could look up reference images of cylinders to do the shading, it looks a bit weird

[subtle moss]

plus it should have the little wood lines like phantump has probably

[late musk]

Maybe, instead of a Cylinder, make it the shape of the phantump's head- as it will be closert to a Carbink's shape aswell.

like a Vase, upside down.

[heady panther]

bruh I just spent so much time shading and im adding the wood lines

[late musk]

dw
its normal

[heady panther]

just want to make sure that this would be good

[subtle moss]

so, what is this, a rocket?

[heady panther]

@jagged hinge just told me to make it a log

with a glow at the bottom

[subtle moss]

ah

[jagged hinge]

now it looks a lot better with that shading and the wood texture

[heady panther]

yeah

[subtle moss]

I wood also say that it's an improvement

[dense jackal]

Some shading advice. I tried to get it to be obvious how I was adjusting it, but it was confusing, so there's green arrows to point which colour goes where 😛

[subtle moss]

This is a little confusing, yeah

[heady panther]

I think I understand it

[dense jackal]

It's what I get for trying to do it on my phone with its heavily limited options 😔

[heady panther]

@dense jackal did I get it?

[heady panther]

I have started spriting #1278047024746336357

[red vigil]

Imo, a vaniluxe sprite is better if he have 2 head and look goofy

Right now this is hard to tell this is a vaniluxe

[whole arrow]

Vanillish erasure

[broken robin]

Oh my god 💀

There’s no way you still have that saved

It’s been 9 months

[jaunty estuary]

lol

[whole arrow]

i belly laughed at that comment so hard you have no idea

[slender thunder]

lol wait I remember this vaguely

[heady panther]

how do I add my entries for all the glitters?

[cinder stag]

there should be a drive link

then you can drag n drop them?

also i need to finish my third evo aa

[heady panther]

doesnt allow me to drag and drop

says I dont have perm

[blissful kindle]

I want to make clear that the Carbink heads that use Pink more than Blue will be alted as it is simply the wrong color

[heady panther]

man what do I do for the contest

anyone know a solution

[blissful kindle]

Carbink

but blue

[heady panther]

I mean because I cant put my sprites into the drive

[blissful kindle]

oh weird

I could drop t in for you if you want

[heady panther]

sure

[blissful kindle]

They're in!

[heady panther]

yippee

im a little nervous though because I might've given them the wrong file numbers

[blissful kindle]

oh yeah you did

wtf

708???

[heady panther]

confused myself

[blissful kindle]

Alright I updated them with correct numbers

[heady panther]

thank you

[lusty pewter]

708?! 👀

we be getting 200+ mons into IF lezgo

[granite tree]

Add skitty plez 😂

[subtle moss]

I have an idea for a 5th entry but it's gonna be a little complicated for a sprite I make in a day

[lusty pewter]

dewit

[plucky arch]

708 would be pretty close to all of gens 1-7

one day 🙏

[dense jackal]

No, please. It's too much! This is an exponential problem, we can't keep doing this

[subtle moss]

After we get to 500 it should only be brought back into consideration after we already have the rest of the sprites cleared.

in like, 3-4 years

[whole arrow]

🙏

[cinder stag]

yeah true

we need more sprites

however fun new mons is

[cloud solstice]

you need to be logged in I think

[random girder]

https://tenor.com/8vFG.gif

23 months

take it or leave it

[near horizon]

and what if the carbink has multiple colored gems ?

[slender thunder]

Completion teams right now

[blissful kindle]

Multicolor isn't blue so same old same old

[lusty pewter]

but... more dress option for melo...

[plucky arch]

i disagree honestly, more mons means more variety, more motivation to work on what you want, more spriters, more new content for renewed interest

i think new mons are a net positive

[subtle moss]

okay, then just

not anytime soon

[plucky arch]

itll prolly be next year

[cinder stag]

every new mon adds ~1k sprites that need to be done. Is it really adding that much motivation overall? I like it too, but for the completion of the project idk

[plucky arch]

weve like tripled the number of sprites in the game sinve i joined ngl

i dont think time is a huge issue

cause while it is an art project

it is also a game

primarily so

and new content is good for games

even if we complete every combo of all 500 mons

is it really done, cause now the alola starters arent in, so those get added a year later, a new few thousand sprites a year after everybody's already finished

keeping a constant stream is better imo

[sly shuttle]

New mons drive engagement
Engagement drives sprite creation

[plucky arch]

exactly

say someone really likes spriting Only minior

[indigo crane]

500 mons means 250.000 fusions not counting triple fusions

[whole arrow]

Pineco should remain unfinished forever for being that hard to sprite

[plucky arch]

were already half way to that

[sly shuttle]

Just… moving the goal post

[plucky arch]

the server has grown Massively even since i joined late 2022, i joined right before the big boost and its steadily grown since

[whole arrow]

imagine the day we finish Gamefreak is like "Hey thanks *YOINK"
"This is now 60 dollars"

[plucky arch]

i wonder who the least sprited mon is atm

[whole arrow]

check daena and organize by least custom sprites

[sly shuttle]

Quilladin
-# probably

[plucky arch]

not counting last years batch: Magby

[indigo crane]

True and most people wont see most fusions because of the level evolving thing and such

[plucky arch]

including last years batch: Oricorio-Pa'u

bottom 5 are
Oricorio Pa'u
Pirouette Meloetta
Ultra Necrozma
Magby
Monferno

[whole arrow]

does randomizer mode only do level appropriate fusions? or can you run into a level 20 charmander/deoxys?

[plucky arch]

if youre fusing Horsea and Tyrantrum, not having a custom sprite is not your main issue here

[indigo crane]

I know people can still run into them and have them but it is just more unlikely for them than the "appropriate" ones

If you know what i mean

[plucky arch]

i cant say i know

i think its level-appropriate

speaking of fusions no one will ever see

i gotta make more Voltorbs soon

[whole arrow]

oh wait i remember now I was running into level 19 articuno/torterras in the diglett cave

so yeah its possible people will see weird midstagers but very unlikely

[indigo crane]

Btw which mon is the most sprited or are there multiple that are complete already?

[plucky arch]

well if yoy wanna help fill out those midstages i got an rvrny for you

[plucky arch]

voltorb (first), hooh, bunneary, sylveon, bidoof

[indigo crane]

Okay thanks

[broken robin]

I have a sneaking suspicion quilladin is the next monferno

Tbh I think garbodor being so low on the most sprites list is a crime

[plucky arch]

im surprised Magby is so low

[broken robin]

Boob head lol

[plucky arch]

its been in the game since like,,, the start

[broken robin]

I don’t think the magmar line is very attractive in general

Although magmortar heads are actually pretty fun

[plucky arch]

ive made like 2 Magby sprites

Magikarp/Magby and Kirlia/Magby

[whole arrow]

the volcarona was sprited but my Aggrby isnt done yet if someone wants him

Hes a Blue Snooted Boober

[random girder]

There is no team magby

I assume that's the cause of this lack of motivation

[whole arrow]

im gonna make a few concepts soon

[limpid sphinx]

magby ❤️

[near tree]

Guys, the last day to post your sprite in the carbink event is tomorrow no?

[cyan gull]

top 10 IF personas right here

[signal nexus]

I think someone controlled for when the ‘mon was added and got monferno as least sprite

[near horizon]

Is there an event where i could submit this x) ?

[plucky arch]

daena's says its Oricorio Pa'u rn

[signal nexus]

When controlling for how long it’s been in the game, though?

[plucky arch]

like Time to Sprite ratio?

then itd be Magby cause gen 2

[plucky arch]

if it was a phantump/chespin

[near horizon]

Why doesn't it works with trev ?

[plucky arch]

#1222376526805209201 message

😔

[near horizon]

don't worry

[signal nexus]

🤔 I think so? Like of course Meloetta will have fewer customs than muk, because one’s been in there since the beginning and the other was recently added
So to account for that

[plucky arch]

yea then Magby

Magby has less then Monferno and was added earlier

[plucky arch]

uhoh

[near horizon]

-# even if it was planned for way later, it doesn't hurt to make it sooner than expected x)

[plucky arch]

lets gooo

[cyan gull]

Magby and Monferno have been flipflopping for a while

[plucky arch]

good for them

[full nebula]

Heyyy question, can we play pokemon infinité fusion on iPhone or not ?

[broken robin]

Weird place to ask that. And no, android or desktop computer only.

[full nebula]

Ohhh sorry, and thank for the answer

[broken robin]

#tech-support was probably where you were wanting to go

[heady panther]

Lmao the glitter contest closes tomorrow when I’m at work

[subtle moss]

[sly shuttle]

Call it WHAT?!?

[icy jasper]

A kalos starter contest?

[ancient palm]

an Infinite Fusion

eh close enough

[cedar quest]

This truly has been

an Infinite Fusion

[limpid sphinx]

thanks for your service gordo

[cedar quest]

Anyways...yeah I couldn't do good flavor text for this one

I promise next one will be better

[limpid sphinx]

gonna pay your daily wage in a sec

[cedar quest]

🤯

This truly has been

an Infinite money glitch

[limpid sphinx]

[icy jasper]

I guess I was right about this

[limpid sphinx]

yummers

[cedar quest]

I had multiple options ready for what was after Carb

Frog picked starters

This must mean Kommo-o contest never

[limpid sphinx]

Kommontest is a good name

just saying

[cedar quest]

Yeah, but I got awesome idea

[limpid sphinx]

👀

oh yeah that one

[cedar quest]

yeyeeyye

[limpid sphinx]

yeaaaa that

[sly shuttle]

Face off

Dang it, why doesn't this type how I want it to

[heady panther]

bruh I cant keep up with the contests

[signal nexus]

France off

[heady panther]

still working on all the glitters

[signal nexus]

I think only my mimikyu will get in, given I’m so slow
Despite having 500 million ideas

[oak tree]

They need more sprites get back to work

[heady panther]

I have 0 ideas for kalos konflict

[signal nexus]

I’m already at work

That’s the problem
No spriting equipment in the lab 😔
And I’m already pushing it with the phone

[oak tree]

Yeah no need to push yourselves I’m being funny

I could never do what you guys do

[signal nexus]

Ik
I still wish I could’ve released more in time

[charred mortar]

what are you supposed to submit?

[signal nexus]

Y picture in brain no appear on page rite 😔

[signal nexus]

Fusions with the Kalos starters, I believe?

[charred mortar]

ohhh

wait between 2 of them or with one and any other pokemon

[signal nexus]

Think the latter

[heady panther]

anybody have ideas for kalos konflict because I spent my last braincells spriting

[signal nexus]

You could call it…
Kalos chaos

[heady panther]

I call this contest chaos

too busy with one contest and then gordo releases another

[signal nexus]

Quilladin dressed as different melons

[heady panther]

but what would the fusion be

[cedar quest]

Which will happen first? Klinklangklontest or Kommo-ntest

[cedar quest]

Either or.

All that's required is one half of the fusion being with one of the Kalos starters

That other half could also be...another Kalos starter

[heady panther]

@cedar quest I have no time to make other sprites because of the contests

the sprites I have made after my magikarp have been for contests

or, if you're really bold... triple kalos fusion

[whole arrow]

IS THAT ALLOWED

[rain leaf]

i wanna see that

[worthy fog]

Looks pretty good to me, just needs more lighter shading at the top

[naive summit]

I don't see a rule against it

oversight by gamr or intentional? who's to say?

[whole arrow]

[plucky arch]

its relay/contest time baby

ill win using Orbs baby

[whole arrow]

The potential orbs have is actually good as heck

...yeah, that head looks very flat

[worthy fog]

I think that right ear needs better outlining

Also we prob shouldn’t discuss this here

ye
i guess i couold make a thread in spritework, but i feel like it should clean it up a bit more before

Turns out triple kalos starters is just buneary

smol friend!

[acoustic saddle]

cool hat

[hollow grove]

Good luck everyone! hopefully all my new kids do well!

[plucky arch]

but consider, beyblade

[acoustic saddle]

😔i only made one

[plucky arch]

(fr tho those look phenominal, zamn)

[hollow grove]

Thanks so much!

[hollow grove]

u basically did a sableye fusion anyway lol

speedrun entry 2

[acoustic saddle]

i wonder i can make 4 in 1 day :y

[plucky arch]

i only did the one voltorb (1. cause im, so busy, and 2. cause if the judges are blind, and i win i think thatd be very funny if i did 1 voltorb)

[hollow grove]

do another little hotsprings one, make it a series

maybe blastoise

[rich hemlock]

I too only made one

But that be because I wasn't all too motivated to make any more carbink/sableye fusions

maybe my silly lil chandelier has a chance but idk, some of yall really popped off

[acoustic saddle]

i could copy paste the sabs

[plucky arch]

maybe i should just do 1 voltorb for this one too

[limpid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/ithinkyoushouldleave-betrayal-betrayed-levels-noonehaseverseen-gif-22155357

@cedar quest just to be sure, can we send the same sprite for 2 different contests?

[sly shuttle]

I predict that my singular All That Glitters entry will place in the 25th-35th range

[limpid sphinx]

i can see mine between 15-30

[carmine falcon]

Yooo
These look SO GOOD

I predict my all that glitters entry will die at the bottom of placement

Can't beat carbonk

This was my entry

Gotta do a rockruff line fusion or else it isn't me

[acoustic saddle]

@merry mica did u enter with

[carmine falcon]

He did

It's in the drive

[acoustic saddle]

luxio was russian?

[carmine falcon]

Last time I checked

[acoustic saddle]

a Russian spy amogus

[carmine falcon]

Behold, I am kinda russian too
(I just don't like anywhere close to there, my mom was born in ukraine though )

I am the spy amogus

(I know 1 word in russian )

[acoustic saddle]

only made one

jojo lol

[carmine falcon]

Lmao that's so silly

[acoustic saddle]

sitting in a hot tub, right next to each other, because..

[carmine falcon]

They got drunk off crystal juice

And now they're just chilling

What the homies do at 3 am

[merry mica]

ye im a russian blue (cat) 🐱

[acoustic saddle]

a blue spy

[merry mica]

why do u think i like the blue cat pokemon so much

[plucky arch]

if i get above the median for All That Glitters i will be pleasantly surprised, if i get top 5 ill be happy with the sprite

people who dont base all their artistic self worth in the perception of others are cowards

[merry mica]

i will be surprised if i place anywhere in the top 3 for all that glitters with my dumb little joke sprote lol

mfw contests dont specify no joke sprotes

[slender thunder]

Triple fusion

[limpid sphinx]

no rules against it right

[acoustic saddle]

hmmmm kalos starter contest 👀

might be able to sneak in an entry or two

I mean...yeah, but I deem it lame to do so

[limpid sphinx]

i can agree...

YAY, first entry for kalos contest x)

chesnaught supremacy !

amogus

[whole arrow]

This looks like a Gengar with an open mouth

[near horizon]

no

[heavy moat]

When events say “no collabs” does that mean I can’t use other peoples custom bases? Or can I just credit them like normal?

[sly shuttle]

Bases don’t count as collabs

[heavy moat]

Sweet thank you

[near tree]

nah, you will win

[acoustic saddle]

nah it just a smol sprite

[whole arrow]

btw Term i misspoke, i meant that your sprite reminds me of a gengar shape not that it IS a gengar

[regal palm]

Omg they were hot-tubmates

[jaunty estuary]

[heady panther]

still dont know if my carbink/trevenant sprite is ready for the contest

[merry mica]

free event sprite ideas

make mega evos for the kalos starters

[heady panther]

I was told to make a melon

out of chespin

[signal nexus]

if that was from me, then from quilladin 😌
because he looks like he's cosplaying a melon

[heady panther]

oh yeah it was you

still dont know what fusion tho

[signal nexus]

which pokemon is the most melon

[acoustic saddle]

🍈

[acoustic saddle]

flygon

[heady panther]

true

oh hey that me sprote

comdy

oops

[signal nexus]

odds it'll show up in a trainer battle a la and ?

[merry mica]

yes

[fading lion]

Yall I may be dumber than a box of bricks. How do you submit a sprite to the kalos konflict kompetition?

[subtle moss]

are you already on the google doc?

Drive, whatever.

[plucky arch]

all g! title your sprite's file ##.## by [Name], and put it within the google drive link

for example a voltorb/diglett would be 100.50 by TeeOhEss

[fading lion]

I don't believe as though I am

[plucky arch]

you can see the new mons' dex numbers in #announcements

[subtle moss]

#event-announcements message follow the link in this message.

[fading lion]

Ok, then what?

[subtle moss]

well, you need to name the file as TeeOhEss explains it, then click the 'new' button in the top lef,t and click 'upload files'.

I'm just guessing what they say in english because it's dutch on mine

[fading lion]

Oh, y'know what... I'm assuming I can't do this on a phone, can I

[subtle moss]

I wouldn't know

Have to ask someone who uses their phone for things other than making calls

[plucky arch]

if you have the drive app i believe you should

[acoustic saddle]

:vv is this readable?

[fading lion]

Huzzah, I did it! Thank you Djoing and TeeOhEss

[jaunty estuary]

weedle, right? gorgeous sprite 😄

[acoustic saddle]

thancc :0

[cinder stag]

are non-gallery entries allowed, since you are not spriter? not meant to rag on you, genuinely curious

[fading lion]

I have no Idea, I didn't even think about that

[lusty pewter]

I thought it was bellsprout XD

[acoustic saddle]

u r bellsprout

[acoustic saddle]

itst the glow worms

[lusty pewter]

yeah once I realize that's not a mouth but the nose it's a bit easier to tell. tho only a bit since the silhouette looks so similar to carbink so I thought it was just carbink body with bellsprout head

[cinder stag]

its a really cool sprite

but the scenery being almost as big is a bit strange

how about an alt with just the weedle?

[near tree]

some hours left

[acoustic saddle]

its warp around the gem

[cinder stag]

i know

[near tree]

the shading is amazing

[cinder stag]

but on first glance it looks bigger than a weedle usually is

[acoustic saddle]

just the rock

[near tree]

@acoustic saddle i have a question

the final sprites get a review of the sprite like do es say royales?

like s,a,b,d and that type of ranks?

[acoustic saddle]

only those

and C

[near tree]

but how can i know how good was my sprite?

[acoustic saddle]

unaware

;v just post

[near tree]

oh, they do actually

[near tree]

@acoustic saddle

[near tree]

im gonna post this

[uncut shadow]

using concept art counts as a collab?

[whole arrow]

yes

[woven kettle]

Uhh

I mean

Kinda?

[mighty herald]

am i allowed to submit a sprite i already made to the kalos konflict? i wanna submit this guy

[whole arrow]

if you lay out the entire structure of a fusion using an illustration i think youre entitled to 50% credit

a fusion art is at least 2 parts, the concept and the spriting effort

[woven kettle]

How I personally view it (and it is my perspective on it) a collab is more if both parties agree to work on it

Like if I was like "Oh do you want to collab with me on this fusion" they say yeah, and make the concept for it and I sprite it

[whole arrow]

to be fair i usually follow my spriters into their threads and help with the polishing phase

[woven kettle]

I mean that's feedback, not really a collab?

Give me a second I can answer this

[whole arrow]

no i mean, i actually edit the sprite myself

instead of saying what to do

[woven kettle]

I mean that's still not a collab

That's feedback, but in a different way

The spriter can choose to use it as reference or not.

[near tree]

@woven kettle how can i post my sprite in the drive link help

[woven kettle]

What?

[near tree]

i need to and my fusion to teh all that glitter drive

[woven kettle]

Did you try right clicking the drive?

And pressing "add file"?

[cloud solstice]

are you logged in?

[near tree]

nothink

i made it

[whole arrow]

so drawing the design and helping polish off mistakes isnt a collab?

[woven kettle]

No I checked back

It is a collab if you use concept art from someone, my bad.

[whole arrow]

oki

sigh of relief

[woven kettle]

However you just editing someone's sprite, isn't really a collab unless it's something big that you're changing.

Why the sigh of relief?

[whole arrow]

no of course not ive never asked for credit on a sprite just for editing something at random

ive rejected that kind of credit on multiple occasions

[whole arrow]

80% of my collabs are people working from my concept art, and then me helping polish so

it would have been rough to hear that they didnt count

[woven kettle]

Alright

[whole arrow]

have a nice say day

[woven kettle]

You too.

[white wagon]

are there any other collabs possible? I've heard it's mostly concept art-> spriter, I've not heard of people just spriting together

[woven kettle]

It's possible

You can do more than just "make a concept other sprites it"

[whole arrow]

designing the concept with someone by discussing poses, themes, attitudes is a more traditional collab

[woven kettle]

You guys can share the sprite

And basically

Make it together

And

Maybe divorce and get split custody of the sprite

[white wagon]

i'm doing such one, that's hype~

[woven kettle]

But that's only if you argue too much on the design of the sprite, and you quit the collab

[white wagon]

do people share credits then or such

[whole arrow]

every one of them that ive been a part of was one of my best sprites

[woven kettle]

Of course, the both of them made it why would they not get credit?

[white wagon]

cuz they divorced and hate each other

[woven kettle]

When you make a child both the parents at the end of the day have to admit they made it

They can't just hate each other and be like "Oh I hate her she doesn't get credit to my son I made him on my own "

[white wagon]

or do they

[cloud solstice]

just look at @acoustic saddle's artist gallery on daena

[woven kettle]

I mean

Unless the person doing the collab was cheating on the other collaber

Then yeah they do

Unless you just quit before you finish the collab

[white wagon]

damn, not to mention sprites

[whole arrow]

Spriting Guidelines Rule number 4: No Adultery

[woven kettle]

Then yeah if only one of them does it on their own then they can take all credit

[white wagon]

they're kinda overdesigned, aren't they

[whole arrow]

😇

[woven kettle]

Kinda?

I will admit, basically all their sprites are overdesigned

That's fine, if that's how they want to make them go ahead

[white wagon]

but hot damn, I'm nto even mad

[woven kettle]

NTM can do NTM things

I remember the discussion, we were in #spriter-general and someone brought up how you can just put a Pokemon head on anything for it to be a fusion, so I just like, put a Buneary head on a lamp

Was asked to do that

Some of my sprites I will admit, are good and I love

Like my Jolteon/Jumpluff and my Buneary/Lapras
But the others.....
