event-general

[carmine harness]

I knew I had to go all-out for that sprite lol, spent about 3-4 hours locked in the day before the deadline making it

[whole arrow]

But to be fair I havent gotten over 60 reactions on a solo sprite, that was a collab with NTM

[urban siren]

I think this contest has the highest average quality
cuz diance and 1/3 of them are from contest champions

[visual pelican]

I forgor to participate

[proven nova]

Why do I think this is gonna lead to the reveal of a new mon?

[whole arrow]

is it cuz Porys a suspicious mister

[icy jasper]

why would a new pokemon announcement happen with the diancie contest results?

[whole arrow]

why notn't

[icy jasper]

if anything, we would get another fish pokemon given what happened last year

[south meteor]

Sooner or later the troll fish supply will run out.

I like this emoji. Luvdisc contest when?

What the...

[icy jasper]

3 wins for the same person

[cyan gull]

ta-da! Oopsies fixed, everyone is happy

[swift token]

oh my goodness, that's what you call a landslide good job gasmask

[south meteor]

I think Gas won some other recent contests as well.

[thick harness]

They won the last one the minior one

[urban siren]

[thick harness]

So they're going to keep their role haha

[subtle moss]

Wow, I'm very consistent.

My highest ranked sprite has 79 points, my lowest ranked sprite has 69 points.

the other three are inbetween

[shrewd garnet]

my condolences for whoever gets my secret spriter :]

[rain leaf]

im still thinking of a request lol

[cedar quest]

I've seen worse

[heady panther]

God now I wanna know what it is

[shrewd garnet]

i like the silly [redacted] and the goofy [redacted] what can i say

[whole arrow]

get absolutely steamrolled

[shrewd garnet]

maybe youll find out 😉

[whole arrow]

by a fkn Rhyhorn

💀

[urban siren]

at least i got one 100+

[shrewd garnet]

if i get rhyhorn im sending a nuke

[heady panther]

Be funny if I got it

[heady panther]

Agreed

[rough kindle]

Do I get a role for almost winning the full podium? With the new rule this will legit never happen again

[shrewd garnet]

if you tell me what it is ill confirm whether or not its mine >:3 (for legal purposes this is a joke)

[whole arrow]

give Gasmask a Rainbow name for Contest Legend

and Role

[heady panther]

If I get something super hard ima flip out

[urban siren]

and i got the last place

[subtle moss]

I KNEW someone was gonna complain about it being too big. I totally disagree, but what do I know?

[shrewd garnet]

the one i got last year was kinda hard 🫠
my thing is usually silly or cute, not serious and tough >:(

[whole arrow]

too big??

[swift token]

I got the exact same spot in the rankings as my first and only other contest at least I know I'm consistent

[whole arrow]

my critique would have been that the face could be more like Milotic and not just Diancies face

not the size..

[subtle moss]

I might just upload this one without alterations out of spite.

[subtle moss]

What Milotic face features could I even add?

[shrewd garnet]

i wonder if i should do a diancie head someday

[shrewd garnet]

no mouth i guess

[whole arrow]

just the form really not features so to speak

[rough kindle]

I can give some feedback on it if you still are willing to hear someone out

[heady panther]

I think it's good

[subtle moss]

That's fine. take it to the thread if you do.

But yeah, sometimes some of the feedback on the contests feels totally arbitrary.

Like, it's as if they give it the score first, and then decide on what consitutes the score it got.

[urban siren]

feel like the judges are stricter this time
the champion's average is 9.5
it's 10 last two contests

[subtle moss]

I know that's probably me overreacting.

[urban siren]

cuz high average quality?

[cyan gull]

no spite needed, at the end of the day, the judges judge, but if you disagree, that's ok!

[whole arrow]

at least you dont overreact like I do

[cyan gull]

It's art, it's inherently subjective

except for the Gasmask podium

that's truth.

[urban siren]

[whole arrow]

no sfx meta

[broken robin]

interesting that only bodies made podium

[cedar quest]

I also don't think it's too big tbh.

[cedar quest]

Possibly make the yellow section on the tail come in a bit earlier and more to a triangular poinr?

[limpid sphinx]

congrats @rough kindle @thick harness @wary canopy !!!!!!

[whole arrow]

on NTM's the comment "This is the funniest thing imaginable. The pile of petals does maybe look a little squareish? I love it though
"

Its making the point part of a heart pretty sure

and the ribbons form the top

NTM got punished for extra effort

[limpid sphinx]

yeah it is

but i mean if the judge didnt recognize it at first then it can be considerated a sprite issue too XD

imo the petals r unecessary at the end, but it was one of my favorites sprites tbh

[feral surge]

god am I really that blind that the heads look the same size to me, I can see I made the neck a bit too thin but I thought the head was the same size as the gen 5 sprite

[thick harness]

The heads look the same size to me. It might just be a matter of perspective

[limpid sphinx]

i was wondering one thing about the podium, the fact that all the podium is diancie bodies makes me think if it happened cuz carbink podium had like 10 carbink heads and now ppl are kinda tired of gems

lol

[thick harness]

To be fair, my diancie head had the same score as my diancie body. Pory just opted to choose that one as the podium pick

[south meteor]

Wow, I think my Lotad is my highest scoring contest sprite. Improvement!

[whole arrow]

looking thru tbh i think the diancie bodies are better on average than the heads

[feral surge]

I mean I scale my concept art to the gen 5 sprites by comparing the head size I think that's why it bothers me more than if any other body part was said to be the wrong size, that would be easier to believe

[south meteor]

Someone reeeeeeeeeally wants more black outlines on gems.

[naive summit]

fwiw a lot of the feedback seem arbitrary to me too, and I'm literally a judge most of the time lol

[whole arrow]

the diancie bodies all have really crazy texture work, patterns etc

[cyan gull]

the one I picked had more 11 votes (aka the tiebreaker votes)

[limpid sphinx]

not saying about the judges itself, saying about ppl desire to sprite diancie heads this time

[thick harness]

Makes sense. It's also funnier for the podium to be all body too

[whole arrow]

ohhh

[limpid sphinx]

not complaining, i dont want to sprite a gem again too 😂

[thick harness]

Me with spriting Bismuth

Never again

[whole arrow]

i think im most disappointed in Screeeees score on the Golisopod

[south meteor]

I only submitted Diancie heads.

[naive summit]

imagine spriting

[whole arrow]

I really thought Scree was contending for first place

[limpid sphinx]

black outlines r not 100% needed imo, if u can the depth and the perspective works w/o the black, its good

[south meteor]

And I'm sad none of the judges recognized the reference. 😦

[limpid sphinx]

mmm i like it but i can see why it dont get that much of good scores

[naive summit]

black outlines are devisive among the judges apparently, I'm on team "not needed in certain situations" (gems, glowy parts, certain sfx)

[limpid sphinx]

same

should be the standard imo 🥲

[south meteor]

I only put black on the Exeggutor gems because I was studying the Smogon Diancie sprite.

[whole arrow]

Calling those arms pillowshaded isnt fair, its texture

[naive summit]

ngl I feel like some judges threw the word 'pillowshaded' out incorrectly in a few comments this time around

[limpid sphinx]

being a bit more general, sometimes i see ppl using the word "pillowshaded" and makes me wonder if i really know what is pillowshade cuz i cant see that on the sprite in question lmaooo

but well im not the one pointing fingers, howls is >.>

[naive summit]

I cant see it on any of the sprites that have that in their comments lmao

?tag pillowshading

[urban knot]

Pillowshading refers to shading a sprite or part of a sprite outside-in such that the edges are in shadow, and the center is highlighted. This should be avoided because it disregards the light source. While pillowshading has seen some professional use, it is not part of the pokemon style. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/700790080175996938/1110174231657979934/image.png

[south meteor]

Yeah, the frills on the Goli didn't look pillow shaded to me.

[limpid sphinx]

[naive summit]

not pointing fingers at anyone just noticing that the term seems to be used wrong a lot these days

[whole arrow]

this was the most accurate callout of pillowshade

the middle shade should be a few pixels of aa

[naive summit]

mmm yeah I can see that

anyways yall sprited fucking awesome and I had a hard time judging ngl

[whole arrow]

Thanks i tried my hardest

[zinc coyote]

Is this the first time someone has swept the top four positions in the contest?

[naive summit]

the first and last

[zinc coyote]

That’s insane

[whole arrow]

On a technical level tho, you'll know if it happens again the scores will still tell the story

[south meteor]

Am I weird for not putting black on my ribbons because I wanted to give them a lighter look like the ribbons are made of chiffon or something?

[naive summit]

the occurrence spawned a new rule to ensure it doesn't happen again in the future (can't say Blacky didn't deserve it though, their spriting is absolute goals 😭)

[whole arrow]

had you tried it? maybe you could try it and we could compare here

when i concept for suicune i still use black on ribbons

[south meteor]

Well, Suicune ribbons are opaque.

[naive summit]

I'm still the "not everything in a sprite needs black outlines" boat but there are some that disagree with that

[south meteor]

I see Mega Diancie ribbons as sort of ethereal but I do see how super light outlines would make it not very good looking.

[naive summit]

are we talking about the exeggutor or the lotad

or both

[south meteor]

I was thinking of Lotad because I didn't put transparency on those.

A suggestion was given to give both the ribbons and gems some black there.

[naive summit]

on the ribbon I could see it having a little maybe, on the gem I'm not sure

[hollow grove]

Omgg pory kept my nailcare emojis lets goooo 💅💅💅

[cyan gull]

you never made the claws

[south meteor]

I'm testing it and the gems look.. not as vibrant.

[mortal void]

I wasn’t even near this time two judges tanked its score, gutted

[urban siren]

i draw diancie ribbons as opaque to prevent transparency and line issues

[naive summit]

Could use some darker purple/pink in place of black for some of the gem maybe? but black feels like it'd be too harsh for it yeah

[south meteor]

Ribbon makes sense, I suppose, but I felt that the darker outline was dark enough.

[feral surge]

I think it comes down to what art styles in general you like, I used to draw with black + coloured outlines for years with being very strict on everything that was in shadow had to be outlined with black and I still like that style so I will naturally prefer when it's used heavier

[naive summit]

(again I'm on team "gems are translucent and absorb/reflect a LOT more light than normal items so they dont need black outline")

[whole arrow]

and thats why it doesnt matter how good you are at art in these contests

there are opinions in the judging

[naive summit]

unfortunately yeah

art is subjective, no matter how you look at it

[whole arrow]

Someone might think smiling wasnt the best attitude for a sprite and knock a point

[south meteor]

It's like taking tests. If I do good in these contests, it means I do good in these contests.

Doesn't mean I suck outside of them.

[naive summit]

yee

[hollow grove]

No smiling allowed

[naive summit]

:(

[whole arrow]

Who tf u smiling at dont i make you happy enough???

[south meteor]

[cyan gull]

I only smile

[whole arrow]

"No ones allowed to say Bless u to my bf cuz im his only blessing bih tf"

[naive summit]

one of the two feedback comments I got from my last review at work as "smile more"

[cyan gull]

but that's because I know I bring only joy to the PIF community (none of the things I do or have jurisdiction over make people angry like, ever)

[hollow grove]

Lmaooo byeee

[whole arrow]

"Have better mental health please" c:

[naive summit]

frfr

[hollow grove]

I have something to say yall!!!!!

[naive summit]

I also have natural resting bitch face lmao

so that doesn't help

(plus, god forbid I don't smile when working with the one manager that treats me like garbage)

[hollow grove]

So thanksgiving has just passed, and i just wanted 2 pop a huge shoutout to my boss/grumpy grandpa @cyan gull who i am very thankful for, for organizing this crazy shit and putting up with my crazy ass and all the other crazy judges, we see u and we appreciate all ur effort and consistency ❤️

Thanks for bein a super duper all around kutie

[woven kettle]

I hate you Pory

[cyan gull]

"effort" "consistency"

[hollow grove]

U may return to ur regularly scheduled cope

[cyan gull]

I'm thankful for your constant

I am too

I you

[heady panther]

I am thankful for you giving me @cyan gull

[cyan gull]

always glad to bring to the people

I'm thankful people are around to get mad at what I do

[little cypress]

Congrats on taking all the spots and forcing a rule change @rough kindle

[heady panther]

You, howls, and my poor decision making is why I took a month break

-# mainly my decision making but still

[whole arrow]

Next contest, The Gassiest Mask, Its just Gasmask vs Gasmask and if Gasmask doesnt get all perfect scores Gasmask loses.

[heady panther]

You have officially confusled me

-# I may just be stupid

[acoustic saddle]

everywhere i see her face

[acoustic saddle]

whats the rule change

[hollow grove]

The rule change is that u gotta buy me chicken nuggets for every entry u make

A 6 piece per entry should do

[little cypress]

[acoustic saddle]

oh

[acoustic saddle]

i will buy u chicken, u now have to turn it into nuggt

also welcom bavc

[hollow grove]

https://tenor.com/view/transformers-robot-chicken-grimlock-bumblebee-towel-gif-17273460

Thanks kutie im so ready for secret spriter

I will secrete all the sprites

[urban siren]

when i tried to be creative:

[little cypress]

||Did you read the event announcement…?||

[acoustic saddle]

reading is hard

[whole arrow]

they didnt understand your Diancie/Machoke Ribbon/Flower petal heart shape

[hollow grove]

I actually really liked this one, its super girly and kute without being overly weird or frilly

[cyan gull]

I'll take a look into this, this is something I need to bring up with the judges in a larger scale

[hollow grove]

But the bismuth bird stole my heart

[acoustic saddle]

its alice right, i guess removes the rabbit cut it down on readability

[whole arrow]

that idea was absolutely cracked

[mortal void]

I’m mostly curious about the ‘pillow shading’ issue…surprised a judge seems to be incorrect about what it is

[urban siren]

cuz the rabbit is distracting

[whole arrow]

as good of an idea as using one minior triangle on the wrong color of body

[acoustic saddle]

thats the point

of the ref

[whole arrow]

to be fair neither pokemon has blond hair

i wonder if a white or blue would have gotten you more points

[cedar quest]

All That Shimmers will probably be the last contest of the year, or atmost the next one will right before the new year

Rest of the month in terms of large scale is Secret Spriter

[whole arrow]

Im ready for the next Junkyard Jamboree in February

[cyan gull]

it's my turn to make a revolt

[acoustic saddle]

whell since alice was blond, and shiny azul is yellow

[whole arrow]

immediate recognizability goes so much farther in contests than creativity

it just takes one person to not get it

[acoustic saddle]

u can use shiny color as addition to he side palette

[whole arrow]

[cedar quest]

If there is a referrence behind it, I personally don't get it, but even at the surface level if plays with the shape language in a fun way. Don't understand the comments there tbh

[acoustic saddle]

the judge comments or her comment?

[cedar quest]

judge comments

[acoustic saddle]

wifu bad, idk

[whole arrow]

its just an opinion you'll have to live with if you wana participate in these contests

im about to watch Hazbin Hotel for the first time, i guess you'll all know if i like it because ill be like "ahem i have an idea for a reference 🤓 "

i kept putting it off because the whole "being satanic" bit comes across super edgy and cringe on surface level

people who are atheist that use Christian imagery to make money baffle me

[acoustic saddle]

u could wait till season 2 finale and bing watch them all

[cloud solstice]

There is no middle shade it's an highlight

[dense jackal]

That could take a while. There's not when a season 2 starte yet
Are you perhaps taking about helluva boss

[whole arrow]

im like 100% theres 3 colors on that little section of wing 😮

?tag pillowshading

[dense jackal]

That articuno image is so crunchy at this point. Could the original image be posted?

[cloud solstice]

Well yeah, base color, shading and highlight

[whole arrow]

this is without wing highlights

it does lose a bit of its icyness

[cloud solstice]

I might reduce the highlight later if I ever update it but to me it's not pillow shaded, esp since it's following the light source accordingly

[limpid sphinx]

if i can give u 1 cent of my opinion, im p curious to see how it would look with blue face/hands

btw why r u awake 👄

[cloud solstice]

Can't sleep 😔

[naive summit]

I can see where the comment about pillowshading comes from, but it does also follow a light source yeah. Just looks a bit busy with so many shades in a small area imo

[cloud solstice]

Err... You can edit it on your side to see I'm too lazy rn

[visual surge]

thats so good bro

[whole arrow]

[limpid sphinx]

[whole arrow]

it been said that bro might be a masculine descriptor

[pastel fog]

@cyan gull I don't understand how the new podium works, can you explain what "the highest placed sprites" means compared to the sprites that has the most points?

I feel shtupid

[cyan gull]

if you have 5 sprites, the only one that places is the one with the most points

[whole arrow]

and the others are just phantom champions

[pastel fog]

I... Still don't understand a thing

[urban siren]

one spriter can only get on the podium once

[pastel fog]

Ah

Now I do

Thanks!

Sounds more than fair to me

[whole arrow]

Its certainly less disheartening to those who dont win first place, if one person cant win every award available

[acoustic saddle]

this was a by product of 5 entries per person

what about banning last champion from last podium so they can’t win again continuously ( they can still be phantom champions)

[rich hemlock]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1310399525613076532 Should I get rid of the yellow circle on the bottom right under the dress? I originally intended it as a sort of design/patterning thing, and I'm not really that attached to it, but while I don't really see it myself this is the second time ive gotten someone who thought that it looked like an odd face.

[whole arrow]

@cyan gull i feel like this might be cooking right here

obviously the only physical reward is the role and name color

[naive summit]

I didn't see it as a face until I read the comment and now I cant unsee it lol, but I think its fine

[acoustic saddle]

tbh it just a small detail that i dont see much problem with it

[whole arrow]

i have a diancie-esque way of re-implementing that yellow if ur open to an illustration

[tulip tusk]

[acoustic saddle]

i knees my need

[cloud pulsar]

evil

[gusty frost]

i promise i will use in a run , in a act of mercy

[rich hemlock]

oh yeah go for it

[cloud pulsar]

not so evil

[acoustic saddle]

if you request a complicate sprite, u should get one back

[gusty frost]

its a sudowoodo body it cant be soo hard

[whole arrow]

you could make them 3d orbs if you want too

[acoustic saddle]

be prepared to make U nerc

[urban siren]

i requested a potential contest idea

[whole arrow]

Difficulty Tiered Secret Spriter fusions

Pory get to work u dog

[acoustic saddle]

if u cut the torso off it left with a bowl cut head

[visual surge]

what if you fused joltik and joltik

or galvantula and galvantula

[whole arrow]

separate all possible fusions into difficulty tiers or ur fired

[acoustic saddle]

wah

[urban siren]

you just need to draw 1 pixel

[visual surge]

palworld

[south meteor]

I may have suggested something complex but it's up to the spriter to make it simple if they can. At least it's not a Palkia body.

[visual surge]

do you like palkia that much

[tired jay]

Ah so it's a palkia head fusion

[south meteor]

I like it more than the average person.

Yeh, it is~

[acoustic saddle]

palkia head

[visual surge]

pakia is cool

[south meteor]

It's not that bad as a head, I think.

[visual surge]

but i like dalkia more

I was thinking of a Machamp body.

Hopefully it'll be something that hasn't been done yet.

[rich hemlock]

I think people could do some neat stuff with my request, I hope to see them cook

[south meteor]

[acoustic saddle]

is it chanderlure

[cedar quest]

🔫

[rich hemlock]

naw, its a combo of pokemon ive never sprited at all but i like

[urban siren]

my request is one of my abandoned concepts cuz i can't think of the pose

[tired jay]

[icy jasper]

It'll be funny if I somehow get the same head fusion from last year

[acoustic saddle]

same combo?

[icy jasper]

probably

[broken robin]

I just hope my request gets finished this year Tho tbh I didnt make it easy either

[tired jay]

I think I did a simple request? Not sure

[cyan gull]

I'm still debating on what kind of pain I want to inflict with mine

[naive summit]

I picked a sprite I want to see exist but haven't felt up to spriting myself

[cedar quest]

Yours did get finished, albeit not officially posted iirc

It was this

[naive summit]

birdbear

[cedar quest]

Yeah it got harvested by the bot back in March

[naive summit]

idr what my request was last year nor remember what I sprited lmao

actually idk if I participated last year

[cedar quest]

That's because you skipped out last year

[naive summit]

yeah

that makes sense

[icy jasper]

are you going to participate?

[cyan gull]

I still remember my request

It was Forretress/Articuno

[naive summit]

I think I participated in 2022 but was very stressed about it so I skipped 2023

(plus I was more focused on helping out with it than spriting lmao)

here's hoping I don't overstress it this year

I think this was my 2022 sprite? which in hindsight came out nicely but damn I was stressed about it lmao

wow that blue flower needs black outline

oh god the green outline on the hair

[cyan gull]

The Roserade special

[tired jay]

I definitely don't remember mine last year, mainly because I wasn't a spriter

[broken robin]

yeah that doesnt count

[cedar quest]

:c

[digital haven]

I’m nervous because I want to participate but I’m out of practice and I’m worried I’ll get a request for a kaiju or something that I can’t execute well enough

[heady panther]

If I get a rhydon, kommo-o, or anything like that

[cyan gull]

you got this!

[olive sentinel]

why cant I open the drive

nvm I managed to do it

6s and 7s... and a 4
it does feel better than seeing a bunch of 2s I suppose
and it seems the concept got a better score than execution

I knew I was missing something!

[red vigil]

secret sprier is a discord voted contest right ?

[south meteor]

Don't forget to update #recurring-events whoever is in charge.

[subtle moss]

It doesn't actually rhyme though

Djoing rhymes with 'boing', not 'doing'.

oh wait, that was the actual point of the message

I just woke up

[icy tree]

wait, are sprites for contests not meant to be posted until after it ends? ?_?

[subtle moss]

They are

if the poster wants to

I do it, but some people post it before too

I find that it's nice to incorporate the feedback the judges give.

Usually.

[olive sentinel]

I was waiting for it but the little feedback I got isnt exactly clear to me...

[subtle moss]

ya, that happens sometimes.

[minor garnet]

Yeah

TOP 3

LETSGO

Top 3 last places tho

[icy tree]

I feel bad for the poor bonk one that got scored so low because the judges just wrote BONK instead of numbers

It is, however, objectively hilarious

[subtle moss]

Bonk/10

[minor garnet]

I dont

it saved me from a second to last place

[olive sentinel]

it was meant to be a joke entry and everyone played along

[slender thunder]

this sprite is facing right?

[slender thunder]

i think your sprite was pretty good

would have placed it higher if i was a voter

[mellow wagon]

But its looking left, is It not?

[lone cairn]

Alrighty, looks like it's that time of the year again with the Secret Spriter

[tired jay]

Time to request Ultra Necrozma/Kommo-o or the reverse

[formal river]

No u can see the pupils

[near horizon]

not the eyes

[lone cairn]

I technically last year requested Necrozma fusion as it was the Stunfisk/Necrozma that i requested

[near horizon]

idk if i'll do secret spriter this year

i still have resentment towards my last year entry

[lone cairn]

How so?

I only noticed what I can see as two flaws on gas masks parasect the little leg under the left front claw needs a teeny bit of shade to show that The claw is in front of it. Also there's some staircasing on the jaw/chin

[whole arrow]

I respectfully offer to you my humblest "oof"

doing a metapod head free hand sounds like agony

[lone cairn]

Oh

I can see why now

Sorry to hear that you got an difficult fusion to sprite with

[near horizon]

is this a legend of avantris gif or just similar ?

[tulip tusk]

the idea of kommo-o body sprite is already causing me mental anguish at the idea

[bronze vine]

I want to help

[spare breach]

damn it i've should've requested a kommo-o body

oh well

[tired jay]

I hope there aren't that many evil requests

[sly shuttle]

You all forget that Tyrantrum, Klinklang, Regirock, Golisopod, Cloyster, and Zekrom bodies exist

[cyan gull]

Pinecos and Mareanies for all

[tulip tusk]

bewear is a deceptively frustrating body to work with too, it was the fusion body i got last secret spriter

[sacred flicker]

Eh, I just hope that people know what/who Rhythm Thief is

If not, that's totally fine. But it's as underrated of a game as Ghost Trick.

[bronze vine]

Zekrom…🤲🏼

[whole arrow]

i wouldnt mind helping people design their concepts if you get one thats really hard

just DM me and lmk

[shrewd garnet]

just make a stubby capsule shape with capsule shaped limbs 👍

its what i did hehe

[sly shuttle]

It’s a lovely shape

[shrewd garnet]

such a fuckin shape of a guy

[tulip tusk]

i just dont like working with it sobs

it kinda feels janky as its so..... rectangular

[heady panther]

it is

[rapid knot]

Bewear is fine to work with if the head mon has a lot of detail

If the head mon is more simple, it's truly a test of your shading skill
Every jaggy and mistake is highlighted on such a large, empty sprite

Wailord has the same problem

[broken robin]

I like bewear bods a lot actually

I just convinced myself we need a contest every 2 months or so where the prompt is "Pokemon Under a Certain Height" so that we get sick af contest winners in the small bodied mons too

[olive sentinel]

(no way Im winning anything against anybody)

Also pokemon height probably doesn't translate that well into sprites so something more like a sprite size limit would probably work better

[urban siren]

there was a contest with size limit
#event-announcements message
maybe we can use this rule again

[olive sentinel]

Ah yes the trapped
The only other even I ever joined which causes me to stop spriting for months cus I was so disheartened by the results (and comments)

[whole arrow]

they all have actual canon average heights

just set a height limit of 1-3 feet tall and there ya go

[slender thunder]

i thought the pink was the pupils

[acoustic saddle]

who join in secret spriter?

[near horizon]

i'm still 50/50, i might not join

[limpid sphinx]

me joinedy

[acoustic saddle]

i dont know if i have time to join, i got a chart todo unless garmr just gave me a machamp body

[limpid sphinx]

what about machamp head

[near horizon]

finally, i'm in

i hesitated to sent a "kakuna/palkia" but i sent something else because i'm not a monster, unlike the person that submitted a "metapod/palkia" last year

[limpid sphinx]

plot twist u sent a "kakuna/dialga"

[near horizon]

no

but it might be worse

[limpid sphinx]

[olive sentinel]

Shellgon dialga

[urban siren]

how new does a spriter need to be to enjoy new spriter protection?

[lusty pewter]

1 minute, make em count

[olive sentinel]

Less than 3 sprites

[acoustic saddle]

metapod kommo

[cloud solstice]

Kommo-o/ultra necrozma

[acoustic saddle]

can’t believe u can do resshi every day

[cyan gull]

That's rich coming from you

[cloud solstice]

Ur right bc I can't

[cyan gull]

True, I've caught you spriting non-reshiram

[lapis thistle]

Kakuna/Rattata ||(theres a music joke there somewhere)||

[lapis thistle]

Wha- Im at 5 🫠

[acoustic saddle]

im poor 😔

i cant afford time

[olive sentinel]

well I challange you to a war then

[lapis thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/gru-vector's-fortress-laser-missiles-explosion-gif-6182774148626074898

Deal.

[olive sentinel]

unfortunately for you

[lapis thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/uno-reverse-card-gif-24856155

I dont think so - you just activated my trap card!

[olive sentinel]

yes I indeed am immune

weird thing to say

anyway

enough playing around in event chat

[uncut shadow]

When do I get the secret spriter submition?

[cloud solstice]

we'll start to get them after the submissions are closed and are attributed to participants

[uncut shadow]

Oh ok, thanks 👍😁

[heady panther]

relatable

[cedar quest]

Case by case, if they new enough I check their sprites in gallery to gauge where they are at in skill.

It's more an edgecase thing really, most people won't have to think of it

[cedar quest]

~ sometime around the 9th - 11th

[heady panther]

wasnt the forms available last sunday?

so it would be next sunday right?

[void sluice]

am I a new spriter then?

[cedar quest]

oh right timezone thing

[heady panther]

oh yeah

[cedar quest]

So ig for you it'd be more like the 10th - 12th

[heady panther]

lemme check

[cedar quest]

And so far, we are at 119 people

[heady panther]

dang

[heady panther]

im only an hour off from that

5:00 pm

[plucky arch]

120

[glass reef]

do i get spriter protection

prolly not sadly

atleast ill maybe make my first large sprite

[heady panther]

makes me wonder if I get spriter protection

-# probably not tho

[glass reef]

yeah definitely not

lol

my first sprite was october soo

[cedar quest]

I think you are all severely overestimated what """spriter protection"""" is 😅

[icy jasper]

I'm lost

what is spriter protection

[limpid sphinx]

theres no sprite protection if we all request hard fusions right

lets go guys 🥲

[urban siren]

i've already requested an easy fusion
i don't want to get a hard fusion back

[whole arrow]

Everyone gets Golem heads for Crhismsmas

[icy jasper]

That honestly feels better to get than Kommo-o

[urban siren]

new spriters will get easier requests

[floral vessel]

This is partly the reason why I’m not participating this year 😛

[broken robin]

nobody would be unhinged enough to ask for klink line head right.

right??

[heady panther]

if I get something that involves prism designs im screwed

[heady panther]

if someone unironically wants a klink line they are insane

[icy jasper]

if magearna got in, would that give off the same feeling with the klink-line?

[heady panther]

definetly

[broken robin]

she has a little bit more to work with than klink

with klink you HAVE to have gears or else

[cloud pulsar]

a classic

[orchid minnow]

hopefully i'll get an easier sprite! I can do big sprites (ish) but I am terrified of spriting metal/rocky sprites

[cyan gull]

here's to hoping we get what we want (we won't )

[orchid minnow]

:<

[acoustic saddle]

we will get what we want

[orchid minnow]

honestly, as long as I get a bird/cat/dog/dino type pokemon as one part of the fusion, I'll be happy :>

[acoustic saddle]

kommo o?

[orchid minnow]

believe in urself :>

[orchid minnow]

i was thinking tyrantrum (?) :3 (never kommo-o o.o)

[cyan gull]

I believe in nepotism

[orchid minnow]

based

[acoustic saddle]

kommo o slander :c

[orchid minnow]

is a very nice pokemon but holy shit is it complicated O.O

[acoustic saddle]

which is good

[cyan gull]

dw, I only requested smaller stuff

[orchid minnow]

sweet

[acoustic saddle]

tho tyrantrum is not less complicated

it just chunky so the detail spread out

[orchid minnow]

i gave a fairly simple (maybe?) request so hopefully i'll also be lucky lol

[acoustic saddle]

ditto?

[orchid minnow]

budew?

[floral vessel]

Kommo-o is so scary

It’s got so many parts

[orchid minnow]

too much detail with not enough pixels to spare imo

[floral vessel]

It borders on overdesigned for me

[floral vessel]

I agree

[orchid minnow]

but i hope that someone gets kommo o if they want to design a sprite for it :3

[floral vessel]

Real lol

[urban siren]

pokemon designs are freed from pixel limits starting from gen 6

[orchid minnow]

why gamefreak

[broken robin]

tbh even the gen 4 legends are kind of crazy

[cyan gull]

you

can

really see thta with Cosmoem

[floral vessel]

Box legendary designs in general go kinda crazy

Except lugia my love

[acoustic saddle]

there is a 96x96 sprite of terra form terrapagos, so anything is possible

[orchid minnow]

don't even get me started on cosmoem

(i say this when I actually like the lil guy)

[acoustic saddle]

get in the bag

[floral vessel]

Nebby

[orchid minnow]

i just saw it and it's really nice :D

[urban siren]

comes with cosmic sfx itself

[orchid minnow]

no i don't think i will uwu

[orchid minnow]

honestly (even though i know it won't happen) i wouldn't mind if terrapagos made it into IF

[floral vessel]

How would terapagos even work

[orchid minnow]

tho i am still waiting on my beloved rowlet to make it into the game

idek

wait now that I'm actually thinking about how difficult it would be to make terraformed sprites, now I'm kinda glad gen 9 is excluded

[floral vessel]

I feel like the tera mechanic would just. not be a thing so you wouldn’t have to worry about that

The only mons with a weird tera gimmick are ogerpon and terapagos

[orchid minnow]

first time I'm hearing about ogerpon but it makes sense

[sly shuttle]

It would otherwise just be a transparent crystal texture applied to the regular sprite

[floral vessel]

Ogerpon’s tera type depends on the mask it’s holding

[acoustic saddle]

check togapex deoxys

[floral vessel]

This item also changes its pre-tera typing and its ability

Ogerpon in general would be real funky to implement

[orchid minnow]

explain pls

[sly shuttle]

You forgot the middle E

[orchid minnow]

it's a cool fusion just confused

[floral vessel]

Oh it’s ogerpon

Lmao

The silly

[orchid minnow]

okay 3/4 get the joke, certified funni

anyway, what pkmn would y'all hate /love to be implemented into the game

[floral vessel]

I would love to see mienshao

Lots of really cool big sleeve designs

[urban siren]

i want pidove to be added

i have a few designs in my mind

[orchid minnow]

pidove would be so awesome!!!

mienshao does have some really nice design potential!!

[sly shuttle]

I think the litleo line is my most consistently low rated mon choice

[orchid minnow]

it's a shame bc it's such a cute pokemon but i understand why

dude a fletchinder line + litleo/pyroar fusion would be so cool

[sly shuttle]

Aurum’s vision does help pyroar’s case

[orchid minnow]

that is so stinkin cool, I love pokefusions that look like griffins!!

[hollow gull]

Did I mention I'm extremely excited for the secret spriter

[hollow gull]

Maybe if you made the red front mottle into a grey back it would work better as a Talonflame Head

[orchid minnow]

it's gonna be so cool!!!! :D

[hollow gull]

I hope someone really good at spriting or really really imaginative gets my prompt cause I basically used it to for a fusion I couldn't even begin to draft a concept on

[sly shuttle]

I think the mixed colors are fine when many gryphon interpretations keep the halves obviously separate

[hollow gull]

Or someone bad or medium at spriting who tried really hard cause that's awesome yoo

Too

[hollow gull]

Fine in a system other than IF where the head/body limitations are pretty specific

[sly shuttle]

Those guidelines aren’t absolute.
Sometimes those designs get alted, sometimes not

[hollow gull]

I suppose

Still

Up to interpretation

[sly shuttle]

What if you get a top-tier spriter that just does a troll sprite

[hollow gull]

Are you top tier I don't recognize you

Maybe I'm before your time

Also possible my memory is bad

[sly shuttle]

I be no champion
I just don’t remember any other troll threads

[hollow gull]

My fusion is cool but I think

Um

There's a like double secret thing?

So I don't say what I requested

Won't

@sly shuttle I don't remember all the conversation skills I learned but don't want to stop talking so I hope you don't mind talking to a brick wall if you wanna keep yapping if not I'm gonna go to bed :P

[sly shuttle]

I’m out of talking ideas

Enjoy your sleep

This fusion doesn't appear to have a custom sprite! You can search for it in the #sprite-gallery to make sure.

[hollow gull]

Damn

Ribbon and I

[whole arrow]

bruh same

Ribbon

[hollow gull]

Love ribbon

[hollow gull]

Something about this is incorrect but I can't place it

Oh

There's like a

Idk what it's called but there's a practice where you ensure darker colors are towards the back to improve readability

And your main body is bright yellow but the arm in front is darker

Throws off the shape

Is that zekrom?

[whole arrow]

im personally not a fan of this

[hollow gull]

Oops feedback in event general

[whole arrow]

its actually a deal breaker for me most of the time

"its in the distance"

[hollow gull]

Idk just took me a while to tell what shape the creature was

[whole arrow]

what like 1 foot away?

[hollow gull]

Something to do with these lines and this arm

Maybe it's an anatomy issue

[whole arrow]

i think Testy also had things about the arm

but we were done working on it

[hollow gull]

Fair

Oh that's it! The shoulders aren't in line

Regardless

[sly shuttle]

I don’t recall being in the thread, but that is an accurate assessment of what I would nitpick about the sprite

[hollow gull]

Not sure it would be a difficult fix

Need to

Resist feedbacking

This server brings out bad habits

I feedback everything

When I start spriting again

Does make me better at my art tho

Just went into someone's thread for a sprite the posted to the gallery like "wait not yet!"

Only did it cause the sprite was so amazing it would feel wrong not to mention the issue

[acoustic saddle]

[white wagon]

you can request to specific people?

[minor garnet]

no

[near horizon]

imagine you do a sprite and it'll be the sprite request you have to make so you have to make another one x)

[minor garnet]

Imagine getting an request for a sprite you made stating "I hate the sprite for this pokemon its so ugly"

[spark cypress]

depends if i get yours or not

[acoustic saddle]

u need bribe

[heady panther]

It is almost Tim's to make my first sprite in a while

*time

Most Canadian autocorrect I've ever gotten

[crude cedar]

Just saw this. As a fellow feedbacker, why?

[urban siren]

secret spriter wishlist:

1. rhythm game references (is it possible? )
2. human shaped bodies (especially gardevoir, meloetta, braixen or diancie, they're easier for me to sprite)
3. visually appealing fusions (a fusion that is attractive to players, probably to the point where you will remember the fusion and consider adding it to your team)
4. popular mons (same reason as above)

[cloud solstice]

My request fullfill none of those criterias
well maybe 3 is filled

[white wagon]

Secret sprooter wishlist

1. something to fill in my sprootdex
2. something challenging
3. I mostly do things which are not currently done, so I'm no longer fooling myself thinking people will see my sproots ingame outside of randomizer smh, but give me something to make a cool design, ideally to base it on some neat concept intercepting two mons into something completely new

[near horizon]

my request fullfill none of them, it's visually interesting but not visually appealing

[feral surge]

the only thing I'm hoping for is that I don't get a giant body like groundon, I think that's beyond my drawing skills

[near horizon]

the only thing i'm hoping for is that i don't get a metapod head sprite

x)

[whole arrow]

Pokemon aren't exactly huge most of the time and so making an ear that's 5 inches away from the first ear darker because it's "farther away" looks stupid to me

What ends up happening is it looks like it's being lit by a spotlight which it's not we don't do spotlight lighting in gen 5

[heady panther]

groudon head would kill me

[feral surge]

I could probably pull of complicated heads, details aren't that bad for me but since I custom everything I don't think I would be able to pose a big body and keep it on model

[south meteor]

1. Has a custom that could visually use an update (Certain Palkia heads)
2. Something that hasn't been made yet

[rain leaf]

I’m just praying I don’t get like ultra necrozma body or main line legendary body lol

[astral niche]

4 hours left before secret spriter starts

I can't wait

I pray that my request isn't something complicated

I'm trying to make effort zsprite but if I get a huge body the requester is getting a recolor+spliced and that's it

[subtle moss]

I don't remember exactly what I even requested

I just submitted something random in order to take part

I think it was something complicated fused with something simple

[minor garnet]

You can check, just edit and resubmit

[subtle moss]

Nah

[tired jay]

I submitted a fusion of some mons I like

That didn't have a sprite already

[subtle moss]

I did that last year

I requested Latias/Sharpedo

[gusty frost]

did we had the spriteober collage

[crude cedar]

Yeah but that's hyperbole, it seemed more like you were talking about something like Soriele's art technique which imo makes it look facing too far left 90% of the time (sorry if you don't want ping )

[tender plinth]

TBH figuring out what to request is the weird part. Like if I really wanted something done, I'd do it myself XD but I found a sprite that was "missing" in a sense and requested that

[orchid minnow]

honestly I just requested something that had been spinning around in my brain for the past month but never got around to. still, couldn't figure out what I wanted until I saw the AI sprite on the fusion dex

[feral surge]

I clicked the random button until I got a head that I thought would be interesting and then chose one of the autogens with that head

[orchid minnow]

honestly, my requested sprite might've been a tad bit more interesting if regional variants were allowed, but I still think it'll look cool regardless!

[orchid minnow]

based tbh

[feral surge]

they are allowed but as alts, if the receiver is really ambitious they could make a normal one and regional alt

I need to make a galarian ponyta sprite one day

[orchid minnow]

wait can I change my req real quick or is it too late?

okay but a galarian ponyta sprite would go so hard, I hope you do it one day!

Ok i didnt think of that, now i have to participate in this!

[wild prism]

But I don't understand, everyone that participate have to do all the fusions or just one ?

Or more

[jagged hinge]

the idea is that the chart has to be complete as a team effort in a short time

Oh ok thx

Gonna participate then

lets gaslight people into thinking that is true so we can finish it in time

Everyone is so impatient 😔

Just wait for the requests to come

[white wagon]

I mean, I just find it kinda funny hyping people up with countdown to a specific date and time in a few posts, just for it to be not on time

[wild prism]

What post ?

My countdown was great

[orchid minnow]

it feels like the time when you were a kid and you were about to go to the beach but your mom is taking a phone call with her friend and it feels like it's taking FOREVER

[wild prism]

At the market
