event-general

[slow gyro]

And I’m an expert on that

[acoustic saddle]

so just palette swap it to victory?

[cedar quest]

... ok lemme grab some stuff from the gallery

[mighty stump]

This is going to be a nightmare to verify everyone isn't cheating

[cedar quest]

Which I'll use as examples

[acoustic saddle]

rip @cerulean prawn

[jagged hinge]

Oh boy this contest is going to be fun

[slow gyro]

There’s something you didn’t mention on the rules and I’m going to loophole the hell out of it

[rapid knot]

Just splice single pixels to change the pose /j

[acoustic saddle]

anti fun event

[mighty stump]

Can't use mine, all of mine either use an older gen base or have at least one custom color

[carmine falcon]

I was about to say

[fresh tartan]

Guys we all just need to pinky promise we won’t cheat

[carmine falcon]

amaura has a good palette?

right

not it does NOT

it sucks

I love the mon but why is the palette so desaturated

[mighty stump]

I pinky swear I will not cheat

[carmine falcon]

it's like a saturated mon

[mighty stump]

Now everyone promise too >:(

[jagged hinge]

We can use gen 5 animation frames right?

[carmine falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/amaura-dinosaur-ice-dinosaur-turn-around-cute-gif-27404793

[mighty stump]

I believe so yeah

[acoustic saddle]

walerin has nice colors

[fresh tartan]

Amaura slander out of nowhere

[carmine falcon]

amaura is my fav fossil

[slender thunder]

cuz smogon

[carmine falcon]

it's just

so empty

[acoustic saddle]

dont chose any mon pass gen 5, cos all of them base color are ugly and pale

[slow gyro]

@cedar quest for Gen 6 and 7 heads, we need to use smoogon’s palette?

[mighty stump]

Yeah :(

[hushed stream]

is it that you can submit speites you already made?

[jagged hinge]

...yes

[fresh tartan]

I promise ||🤞||

[slow gyro]

No but that’s also a great loophole

[topaz quest]

FYI farfetch’d palette is surprisingly good if I remember correctly

[slow gyro]

Shame

Mines are better

[jagged hinge]

Oki thank you Ive got an idea

[slow gyro]

@cedar quest make it so that people can use GF’s palettes, Smoogon’s palettes OR my palettes

[mighty stump]

Oh I think nincada might be pretty, or Sino has tricked me by using his own colors that are much better

[signal nexus]

Y’know what
I will do what I want
And if the judges disqualify my entries, so be it 😌

[mighty stump]

We might ALL get disqualified

[fiery sundial]

Don't be fooled, the GF nincada has a nigh invisibly different shine

[hushed shoal]

Turning yourself into everyone’s savior

[dreamy loom]

@cedar quest can i keep the sprite mistakes from the original bases. like missing outlines. or must those be fixed

[mighty stump]

Damnit

[cedar quest]

Yep, figured that'd be better than outright excluding them

[slender thunder]

And my palettes

Remember when me and Gamefreak made all the sprites for pokemon black/white?

[slow gyro]

Just allow custom palettes for them, they’re already custom anyways

[hushed shoal]

Who is gamefreak

[slender thunder]

nah you must use the colors from the official art

[dreamy loom]

i wanna be authentic i need this info

[mighty stump]

I think fusion bot might scream if you use all those colors

[slow gyro]

Don’t remember Magikarp’s palette being that good omg

[cedar quest]

No

[carmine falcon]

I'm afraid I'll start with this and then accidently go to

this

[rotund kestrel]

hey i'm kinda new to these kind of event, do i have to do 4 entries or is it the maximum?

[fresh tartan]

Maximum

[carmine falcon]

(made this in 5 minutes so it kinda sucks hehe)

[acoustic saddle]

🗣️ I LOVE RULES

[acoustic saddle]

IT GREAT

[kindred valley]

it's kinda green-tinted but yeah decent variety

[carmine falcon]

I'm really looking foward to see what people do with this

like

[sly shuttle]

That’s the max

[whole arrow]

Is this the smogon base

[rotund kestrel]

alr thx

[carmine falcon]

it's very restrictive so it's kinda interesting what people will do

[jagged hinge]

garbodor is gen 5

[cedar quest]

yeah Garbodor is Gen 5

You'd use this

[jagged hinge]

(thats the one widecloud posted )

[fresh tartan]

I’m gonna make a sprite and if it doesn’t follow the rules can someone just scream at me

[mighty stump]

Hey fusion bot what do you think of this

[sly shuttle]

And we would be allowed to add simple shading to the bag?

[whole arrow]

I might make this for fun

[echo peak]

so we just need to fuse together sprites via gen 5 sprites?

easy

[mighty stump]

@cedar granite

[fresh tartan]

I give full permission

[cedar granite]

sea.angel.blu

__Invalid: 363__

• Galvantula custom base
• Invalid size (475, 475)
• Color excess (+256)

[Link to message](#event-general message)

Hey fusion bot what do you think of this

[carmine falcon]

this might be the move chat

[cerulean prawn]

no editing colours... dark sided

[sly shuttle]

Use existing colors in weird ways

[dreamy loom]

gordo isnt answering my question. uee uee

[acoustic saddle]

it was a gen7 mon, so good luck with the ashy color

[cerulean prawn]

now we're talkin

[whole arrow]

I used to make bangers before all the crazy shading

[echo peak]

I honestly thought we had to use a frame from an animated Pokemon sprite and make that but now that its just a fusion challenge I'm in

[carmine falcon]

not too bad

[hushed shoal]

Never worked with it before but Claydol’s official palette actually looks kinda decent

[cedar quest]

The question is - with what color?

[elder topaz]

i have a color i want to use and i need to know if it CAN be used from "can we use the colors of the other sprites of this pokemon as long as they are from gen 5 not custom"

[cerulean prawn]

glad I got my win out of the way, AND they commented on the colours being nice

[sly shuttle]

Blue or beige

[cerulean prawn]

this seems fun tho

[cedar quest]

As long as you don't add a new color, and you don't alter the shading too drastically

[acoustic saddle]

can i use shiny color

[cerulean prawn]

I don't mind an excuse to do some splices

[hushed shoal]

The shading of the yellow bits can be used as AA which I find interesting

[dreamy loom]

GORDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME

[cedar quest]

This is the second time I got asked that

[fiery sundial]

Maybe it's been answered (It's all scrolling by too fast). The parts we splice on, they can be resized and slight squished to fit the shape?

[cedar quest]

And it was not a question I was ready for

[mighty stump]

We are all failing this contest

[acoustic saddle]

and you dont answer this time

[elder topaz]

i have a dastardly evil one

[cedar quest]

.... I'm thinking.... maybe yes???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

IDK

I said no

[sly shuttle]

It’s a simple NO

[jagged hinge]

you are going to have a long week im afraid

[elder topaz]

gordo i have a evil one

[cedar quest]

True yeah

Last time I backpedalled on that

we got Eel megas

So no

No shiny

[acoustic saddle]

any reward?

[dreamy loom]

im assuming that this is also a question he was unprepared to answer

[acoustic saddle]

for such big leg shackle

[cedar quest]

no it's just moreso

I'm getting a lot of questions at once

[cedar quest]

the pain is the reward

[elder topaz]

are we allowed to use the color of a pokemon if it's not a shiny but a different sprite of it (like a alt form that's not too different... alt sprite, etc)

[acoustic saddle]

i like pain

[tulip tusk]

i cant do either contest
not because i dont do collabs nor use bases
but because my body keeps collapsing

i lied its because of the first part

[mighty stump]

You needed to have a BOOK the moment the announcement was made detailing the rules

[elder topaz]

Cottonee suffers this question mostly

since between BW and BW2 it got a entirely new sprite

[hushed stream]

you can only use the colors from the official gen 5 sprites or smogon

[elder topaz]

i mean they are on the official gen 5 sprites...

are we allowed to use box sprite colors

[cedar quest]

no

[elder topaz]

dagnabit

there goes my evil plan to smuggle extra colors on

[jagged hinge]

good try tho

[elder topaz]

i mean

[mighty stump]

Gordo I think when I decide on what to do I'm going to have to ping you to verify I didn't accidentally take something that would be illegal

[elder topaz]

they ARE official sprites

[dreamy loom]

gordo if ur feeling overwhelmed dont be afraid to take a step back and breathe a bit

[elder topaz]

gordo do you want some water

[cedar quest]

im good just

trying to do a lot at once

[elder topaz]

also gordo... are we allowed to use both cottonees

[kindred valley]

for, say, a delphox body are you allowed to completely remake the clothes as long as they fit on the smogon base?

[cedar quest]

wym both?

[elder topaz]

gen 5 has two types of cottonees

the BW sprite and BW2

[cedar quest]

I'd say yes!

[elder topaz]

bw1 bw2

its palette changes too, so that's a super important distinction

[dreamy loom]

zekrom my old friend.... we meet again

[jagged hinge]

would I be able to use the colours of the different genesects and rotoms even though they are different forms?

[acoustic saddle]

@cedar quest he is fit right

[elder topaz]

those forms arent in IF

i don't think so

[jagged hinge]

But they are official sprites

[elder topaz]

cottonee is the funny edge case

since it's not a form but a resprite in the middle of a gen

[cedar quest]

This would be allowed

[cedar quest]

But they arent in IF

[acoustic saddle]

ok i won

[echo peak]

so just fuse two gen 5 sprites and don't change the palettes right?

[acoustic saddle]

will we have a disqualify pile and booking for public execution?

[cedar quest]

although... I do wanna elaborate a bit more

[kindred valley]

too much going on, imma bump this

[cedar quest]

You can't use both palettes of Cottonee in one sprite, no

But you can use either or

[elder topaz]

💔

[cedar quest]

And that's kinda cool

[cedar quest]

Completely remake? No

Adjust to where they look different? Yeah

[acoustic saddle]

wouldn't that mean alert the shading?

[elder topaz]

i will alert the shading

SHADING YOU ARE BEING ALERTED

[kindred valley]

ok this is helpful re: amount of changes you can make

[cedar quest]

The closest thing to that I can see is like

This

[slender thunder]

I had to use anti-aliasing as the shading color to be able to have bricks

[acoustic saddle]

u have alerted the shading horse

[acoustic saddle]

can u make thia channel into slow mode for now :v

[cedar quest]

oh I don't have that perm

[mighty stump]

They are baby I declare you winner and I am not biased in this decision

[signal nexus]

Sounds like it’s a contest for people who make damn good sprites but don’t do well in the contest meta
I feel like a lot of mine would qualify
I’m am work, so I can’t share my bewear/haunter, but I feel like it’d fit the requirements
~~I’ll have to check which palette I used, though ~~

[dreamy loom]

MY DISCORD CRASHED

[elder topaz]

wondering how to change the color used in regigigas for its darker parts

[acoustic saddle]

so you have to restrain every one down to a level

[cedar quest]

This contest is meant to be more beginner-friendly towards simple splices and challenge those who've since gone away from that

[acoustic saddle]

do we allow pure black shading

[slender thunder]

gamfreak does it

sometimes

[cedar quest]

As long as black is in the palette

natively

which uhhh

[slender thunder]

every sprite has black in their palette

[cedar quest]

[elder topaz]

nope

the humble #101010

[slender thunder]

close enough

[signal nexus]

Or just a different genre of contest

[acoustic saddle]

scraftry has it weird colors

[cedar quest]

But same deal as before, don't alter the shading too too much, y'know

[slender thunder]

furret and others have lighter also but who cares

[cedar quest]

Mhm

[mighty stump]

To be honest I have such a hard time wrapping my mind around splices because I can no longer just draw the fun thing I'm imagining I gotta rely on GameFreak managing to have what I need

[acoustic saddle]

which i like, there are too much freedome

[slender thunder]

how do i fit both spheal's spots and sandshrew's bricks on here

[mighty stump]

Square spots!!!

[whole arrow]

might be time to bust out my Power Ranger Gardevoirs 😈

[signal nexus]

Eelektrik palette I think uses a dark blue in lieu of black

[mighty stump]

Color a few of the bricks white

[whole arrow]

go go power rangersssss

[mighty stump]

Mystora I am invested in your spheal for not biased reasons

[sly shuttle]

Only for Tentacruel

[elder topaz]

are we allowed to change #101010(semi-rare outline color that's super close to black(000000)) to #000000?

this is a outline color that is so inneccesitantly annoying and not-important to where i really don't think it makes a difference if its the one or the other?

[acoustic saddle]

do i have to follow the base shading order or i can add some stuff to it, example marking

[cedar quest]

Nope!!

[acoustic saddle]

machamp has it too

[cedar quest]

No changing the colors

[cedar quest]

elaborate

[elder topaz]

as a comparison:

and this is when it's super zoomed in

[cedar quest]

Oh I know the difference, I work with Qwilfish

[sly shuttle]

Will you be putting a Machamp in full leather attire?

[cedar quest]

But still no - the palette restrictions here are part of the challenge

[whole arrow]

i wonder if NTM means texture? like dithering?

[acoustic saddle]

like said spheal/ shanshrew, can i erase the brick and add spot instead

[cedar quest]

Ok we'll go back to Scyther for a sec

[dreamy loom]

my head hurts from all this

[cedar quest]

oh yeah absolutely

[dreamy loom]

im so confused on everything

[carmine falcon]

I am NOT cooking

[cedar quest]

Like for that for example

[elder topaz]

i am baking (not done with the damned bushes yet)

[acoustic saddle]

i will put our collab in the spot light, when you done it

[cedar quest]

You'd be able to get rid of the bricks

[proven hinge]

-# so its just who can splice and shade the best..?

[acoustic saddle]

rule are confusing

[slender thunder]

almost all all my sandshrew bodies have bricks

[elder topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/rubbing-hands-j-and-k-gif-26705519

[mighty stump]

Can't change shadinf

[acoustic saddle]

your time had come

[signal nexus]

Dis the one I was thinking of
Yeah, it changes some stuff, but it hews close to the base
but it might be too far off base haunter too idk

[whole arrow]

Milchik ahh contest

[slender thunder]

oo i can do a zubat sprite

[cedar quest]

It's whoever can do make something stand out through these simple conditions

[dreamy loom]

big fat adhd

[acoustic saddle]

you can change the texture

[mighty stump]

I have to make spheal heads but what body;!!!!!!!!!

[whole arrow]

jkjk milchik changes palettes but he does crazy well even with basic poses

[acoustic saddle]

like u can see buncha default pose

[proven hinge]

I meant mimic shading in the game freak style

[cedar quest]

For starters, that's not Pikachu's Gen 5 palette

[slender thunder]

is it not?

[dreamy loom]

SO IS IT JUST REGULAR FUSIONS BUT WITH BASE GEN 5 AND BASE PALETTES AND SHADING?

[proven hinge]

Like im confused. Doesnt adding shine to pikachu count as a shading difference

[cedar quest]

Pikachu does not have a glossy highlight

[mighty stump]

Chat we're cooked

[proven hinge]

Or at least liquidy shine like thay

Whats the line

[elder topaz]

working on it! 😄

[slender thunder]

actually

[acoustic saddle]

contest when you can only use default pose and color

[slender thunder]

it does it just barely gets used

[cedar quest]

huh....

[carmine falcon]

gordo are we able to use aa when the head mon has it but the body doesn't?

[fiery sundial]

It wasn't stated, but I know some contests have this. Do the sprites need to be posted to the gallery first?

[proven hinge]

But youre shading every joint like its wet

[cedar quest]

Yes

[slender thunder]

basically we have to sprite like japeal

[acoustic saddle]

walerin

big spheal

[cedar quest]

ah found it

[elder topaz]

no

[cedar quest]

That has an added color

On the claws

[jagged hinge]

If you make something very creative I’ll stick out then

[mighty stump]

I already made that

[cedar quest]

The light grey here is not in PikaPalette

But even so...

[slender thunder]

would something like this count idk if it uses gen 5 cradilys palette but lets just pretend it does

[dreamy loom]

I'm just gonna make something and ask if it works and if it doesn't then Oh Well

[cedar quest]

ok if we're pretending it does....

[acoustic saddle]

have u seen all the machamp using default pose, non stick out

[cedar quest]

Yes!

[glass reef]

@cedar quest would it be fine if i changed h zorua head thing with fire

[slender thunder]

ok good to know

not that i can submit that sprite

[cedar quest]

Why is Hisuian Zorua in this convo wtf

:de

[acoustic saddle]

erm, mr spheal

[cedar quest]

[jagged hinge]

You won’t be able to make a big buff fellow then

[elder topaz]

having a painful time with regigigas' grey

[slender thunder]

am I not allowed to talk here?

[elder topaz]

i used my darkest grey already

so

[glass reef]

Because skogon sprite project

[cedar quest]

But thats

[dreamy loom]

hisuian zorua isnt in the game

[cedar quest]

Thats not in IF

Zorua is

But the Hisuian would just get alted

[acoustic saddle]

this is the darkest day of PIf event, the rules are coming

[mighty stump]

This contest is going to have at least half the entries disqualified

[glass reef]

Okay disregard the hisuian part

[elder topaz]

not mine

:3

[glass reef]

Would replacing things w chandelure flames work

[elder topaz]

i'm mr splicer

remember?

[cedar quest]

yea

[slender thunder]

MR SPLICE!!

[proven hinge]

Im just confused how i make my game freak compliant sprite better than everyone elses game freak compliant sprites

[slender thunder]

MR SPLICE!!!

[elder topaz]

i can unleash CREATURE!!!

[proven hinge]

Again its just. Splice better????

[elder topaz]

uh.

[acoustic saddle]

i think u should require to ping @cedar quest into the contest entry thread, to check if it qualify,

[elder topaz]

why is there a neck?

BEYOND

charizards neck and head?

[cedar quest]

At this rate, that's def... easier

[slender thunder]

he's insecure about his neck dont talk about it too loud

[mighty stump]

I'm pinging Gordo regardless I don't trust myself

[elder topaz]

ALSO!

if you guys need a pokemon with a LOT of whites

anorith is actually a good call.

[acoustic saddle]

resshiram

[echo peak]

got something cooking with this. let's just hope I understand the rules (I'm serious)

[cloud solstice]

@cedar quest maybe I missed it, but can you move around the base?
like let's say I want to place it higher?

[elder topaz]

anorith's wings provide a LOT of sustenance

while also having green and red

[cedar quest]

Yeah that's fine

[acoustic saddle]

can we use orther gen base, since it doesnt affect the color, and we will have more variety

[cedar quest]

Nope!

Once again part of the challenge

[acoustic saddle]

:v thats terrible

[carmine falcon]

chat

[slender thunder]

gen 5 bases are all 🧍

[cedar quest]

GF sprites suck and I'm forcing you to use 'em

[elder topaz]

it does affect the color

[carmine falcon]

I have an idea

[dreamy loom]

im sure you all know of my intense hatred for gen 5 luxray sprite so I will be using it for this contest

[elder topaz]

especially with some lmfao

[carmine falcon]

I HAVE THE BEST IDEA EVER

SELF FUSION

[cedar quest]

lmaooo oh lord

[elder topaz]

ohoho

BAN SELF FUSIONS

[acoustic saddle]

all gen 5 sprite are just 🧍‍♂️ 🧍‍♂️ 🧍‍♂️ 🧍‍♂️ 🧍‍♂️

[cedar quest]

no no

[long basin]

i thought about this

[elder topaz]

I HAVE MY ENTIRE MEGA LIST

[cedar quest]

But if you do just submit a png of just

[slender thunder]

thats what i said

[elder topaz]

I HAVE MY MEGAS THEY ARE BASES...

[cedar quest]

GF Charmander

I will kill you

[dreamy loom]

chroma heeheed because chroma knows

[cedar quest]

And then DQ it

In that order

[fiery sundial]

I think my message got burried. Gordo, do we have to galpost the sprites to submit to the contest?

[carmine falcon]

my entry is this chat

[acoustic saddle]

:v the shading i guess

[carmine falcon]

is it fine?

infernape self fusion

[elder topaz]

shading too

[carmine falcon]

actually

I have a better idea

[cloud solstice]

you never need to galpost to enter a contest

[elder topaz]

but colors too

[acoustic saddle]

we have the same idea

[acoustic saddle]

@cedar quest no contest spot light?

[elder topaz]

@acoustic saddle heres some eyes for you

[slender thunder]

I just got a really good idea but im not gonna say what it is

[carmine falcon]

chat am I allowed to putthis in the drive/j

[acoustic saddle]

i cant see

[cedar quest]

((I ran out of time))

[dreamy loom]

its beautiful

[acoustic saddle]

you have more time now

[cedar quest]

((Were some slight issues with judging, and I still have a schedule to hold))

((Nah, I'm working on other stuff now))

[slender thunder]

Infernfernfernfernapeapeape

[acoustic saddle]

woking on putting out the contest spot light?

[cedar quest]

Pose is alterred too much

[slender thunder]

Can I use shiny sprites? ||Of course not||

[carmine falcon]

I have a better idea then

[long basin]

yeah

[rapid knot]

You can't rotate?

[slender thunder]

wait

[acoustic saddle]

i think rotate the base should be allowed

[slender thunder]

rotating a sprite is smart

[dreamy loom]

anyone have a zekrom 3d model on sketchfab i can Steal

[carmine falcon]

you said moving the sprite is fine

I moved the sprite

a couple of times

[long basin]

shadow clone jutsu

[dreamy loom]

oh god oh fuck theyre coming

[cedar quest]

better

[dreamy loom]

boy why you so tail

[acoustic saddle]

wait , said big body like warlord, but he is flat shading, can i add texture on him, example sandshrew bricks

[acoustic saddle]

he work for a bakery

[dreamy loom]

is his tail a piping bag

[slender thunder]

You say ''i've got whole my life ahead of me!'' lmao no you dont the infernapes are coming

[long basin]

shading can’t be heavily altered so I assume texture would be the same

[tired jay]

zekrom must have problems turning in buildings

[acoustic saddle]

and microwave all the cake

[dreamy loom]

SLURPUFF/DELIBIRD WITH A PIPING BAG TAIL

[cedar quest]

well, that wouldn't be altering the pose

nor would it be altering the shading, rather its just the texture
🤔

[elder topaz]

i eated the

[cedar quest]

I think under my rules, that would be allowed - yeah

[slender thunder]

can we not rotate the sprite?

[tired jay]

also doors must always hit them

[carmine falcon]

you thought that was bad

[acoustic saddle]

but u can change the texture

[acoustic saddle]

what is allowed

[carmine falcon]

2 entries out of 4

[long basin]

i figured it would be the same as shading but yes he did say that

[cedar quest]

Yeah the bricks would fall under patterning

[dreamy loom]

do i Need to Splice or can i create some original parts

[rapid knot]

How can you change the texture without changing the shading?

[elder topaz]

can we have more of these contests in the future?

[mighty stump]

My goal is to make cute spheal splice and then abhorent goofiest rival to mr. splice alive

[cold bay]

Gordo, am I allowed to change like the size of the splice to make it not freakishly huge..?

[cedar quest]

I said don't heavily alter the shading

[elder topaz]

give the humble non concept artists a chance...

[carmine falcon]

tbh just thinking of the entries is burning out

[cedar quest]

If you weren't allowed to do anything

[carmine falcon]

the concept is good

[rapid knot]

How much is heavily?

[cedar quest]

This contest would suck

[carmine falcon]

I'm just

scared of it

[acoustic saddle]

so many rule, figuring out what follow is the worst

[cold bay]

I feel so bad we are asking so many questions lmfao

[mighty stump]

Yeah the heavily thing is gonna be extraoridinarily hard to measure

[carmine falcon]

you can make a sprite with new parts in it without making a concept

[near horizon]

@cedar quest what about gen 6+ pokemon, they don't have a gen5 sprite, how can we do?

[long basin]

I thought the contest did suck, but if we can texture however we want it doesn’t

[mighty stump]

Gordo we love you, we don't want to eat you alive, we just confused

[dreamy loom]

sm*gon

[cedar quest]

Smogon Sprite Project

[elder topaz]

i mean usually the concept artists are...

[acoustic saddle]

we should eat him alive

[near horizon]

Okay

[elder topaz]

the winner

[carmine falcon]

huh

[slender thunder]

can i do this

[dreamy loom]

im gonna frankenstein this

[carmine falcon]

idk it's either

I'm dumb

[cold bay]

I just didn't want to harass you too much lol

[carmine falcon]

or not

cause I didn't see in a while a person concepting for contest

[rapid knot]

What did you do

[carmine falcon]

and winning

[dreamy loom]

bye chat im gonna play the zekrom theme for 4 hours and sprite

[carmine falcon]

most would just do that stuff off screen

[slender thunder]

i polished an animated frame

[near horizon]

And if, for exemple, a pokemon has multiple pallettes (I think Gourgeist does depending on the size), which one we use?

[feral surge]

I just woke up from a nap and this is what opening the announcemnt chat feels like
gordo: makes a contest for simpler sprites
server: this is the most confusing task ever

[slender thunder]

now that i have done that
im realising unown bodies suck

[acoustic saddle]

its bc too much rule, and one mistake made u disqualify (not like the 64/64 or 12 color event)

[rapid knot]

"How simple is simple?"

[carmine falcon]

hehe

[dreamy loom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osBuSrEho-U this song is part of why i even finished my secret spriter guy

[cerulean prawn]

can we use parts from the back sprites?

[acoustic saddle]

over thinking is our features

[mighty stump]

I'm gonna have to ping Gordo just in the concept phase itself not even the spriting phase to make sure the parts I've gathered to use are fine

[elder topaz]

guys regigigas male pattern baldness

[acoustic saddle]

feraligtr fat cakes

[elder topaz]

yes there's a extra color i have to iron out

[fallen light]

but funi letter

[cedar quest]

alright yeah I'm actually getting like

overwhelmed

[cerulean prawn]

this is how you make a machamp body stand out

[elder topaz]

but i've pretty much covered the rest of regigigas colors out now

[near horizon]

[mighty stump]

Sorry, take a step back if you need to

[acoustic saddle]

where can i even put them to

[cold bay]

Nope nevermind I figured out life

[cedar quest]

There isn't like hard defined answer of like

[cerulean prawn]

machamp's back sprite

[slender thunder]

banger!

[elder topaz]

not a gen 5 sprite

[acoustic saddle]

but we cant make back sprite

[mighty stump]

?tag kiss

[urban knot]

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c1/51/0f/c1510f1f14406dda27206c6bbe320b25.jpg

[elder topaz]

use parts of

[cold bay]

Is it not...

[near horizon]

Time to do what I am known for

Crab

[cerulean prawn]

splice the back and front together

[fallen light]

isn’t it an animation frame from gen 5?

[elder topaz]

swinub's isnt

[cedar quest]

"Too heavily shaded means that 60px on the body have been changed and it should be less than that"

That's stupid to do, because then I'd have to count every px on a sprite

[dreamy loom]

and just like that my sprite is finished

[acoustic saddle]

then where can i put the ass? on his face?

[elder topaz]

wait swinub goes on two hands?

[rapid knot]

If you can't mix BW and B2W2, I don't imagine that you can use backsprites

[cold bay]

Yeah?

[cerulean prawn]

why not

[slender thunder]

omg genius

[fallen light]

I thought so

[acoustic saddle]

not to see ass

[slow gyro]

I decide to defeat Gamr at his own game

[mighty stump]

I think genuinely the solution is everyone has to ping Gordo with the entry

[elder topaz]

no its just that loaf of bread

[cerulean prawn]

he talks out his ass

[slender thunder]

here i was thinking about unown for some reason 😭

[fallen light]

It rears up in its animation

[rapid knot]

https://tenor.com/view/swinub-gif-1376741348725538885

[cedar quest]

There's just not going to be these extremely specific things that I have answers for - just use your own discretion, and if you have a question and think it's too much, ask me

[slender thunder]

mega alt

[dreamy loom]

unpleasant palette shows up at your door

[elder topaz]

in gen 5's animations.

that's what i mean

[acoustic saddle]

terrible day to see the phallic object

[cedar quest]

So... where's that volcano come from?

[cold bay]

Wait shit no I think. This is the gen 4 sprite...

[cedar quest]

Hey Hero

Heroooo

[slow gyro]

Smogon

[cedar quest]

yeah but

[slow gyro]

Smogon

[cedar quest]

what's uhh

[acoustic saddle]

mega is kil

[slender thunder]

but camerupt isnt a gen 6 pokemon

[cedar quest]

where'd that come from

[slow gyro]

That wasn’t there when I started

[cedar quest]

that volcano

[cedar quest]

what did it come from

[slow gyro]

You cheater

[acoustic saddle]

it come from the hit game Pokemon

[cedar quest]

ohhhh!!!!

[mighty stump]

Chat everyone is cooked

[elder topaz]

except me :3

[mighty stump]

Except the few people who are just peacefully excited in the background of course

[mighty stump]

Yep like you

[elder topaz]

i just have to iron out one color

[mighty stump]

Looks great by the way

[elder topaz]

and that will be all!

[slow gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/my-disappointment-is-immeasurable-and-gif-20080022

[slender thunder]

now this is an amazing sprite to make a splice with

[dreamy loom]

hi

[long basin]

It’s arceus

[mighty stump]

Hi Mars and Cali

[fiery sundial]

I'm real happy about this one, this is how I started. So many great wurmples await

[cedar quest]

Make it a Haxorus clearly

[fallen light]

I mean unown are genuinely a really good pick for this event

[feral surge]

I'm half asleep and not participating reading this chat is great entertainment

[acoustic saddle]

easier event => most confusing ever (cos everyone is trying to find excuse to break the rule)

[fallen light]

if you can make it look good, it’ll be peak

[slender thunder]

but unown is so small so any change is a big one

[slow gyro]

Gamr I will never forgive you

[fallen light]

yippee

[rapid knot]

...said the Unown.

[fallen light]

[dreamy loom]

whered his Tail

[cedar quest]

TRUEEE

[fallen light]

I am unbiased

[slow gyro]

You just crossed a line

[dreamy loom]

wait this is a girl. Whered Her Tail

[fallen light]

eated

[acoustic saddle]

reattach able

[slow gyro]

You wanna play this game? Fine

I’d win

[carmine falcon]

would this be allowed still chat?

[fallen light]

ya

prolly

[mighty stump]

Uhhhhhh where's the best place to browse all the gen 5 default sprites?

[cedar quest]

so far, yes.

[slow gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/nah-id-win-nah-id-bunny-jujutsu-kaisen-bunny-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-18147311268825624683

[carmine falcon]

was scared about the leaf kinda

[cedar quest]

Pokemon Database?

[long basin]

probably database

[rapid knot]

Database doesn't let you scroll the gen 5 sprites iirc

[cedar quest]

That leaf isn't heavily alterred

[cedar quest]

aw dang

[feral surge]

linked in spriting guidelines

[fallen light]

https://m.archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Black_2_and_White_2_sprites

[acoustic saddle]

just say " palette swap and splicing only, base can only be from gen 5, no extra color"

[rapid knot]

It lets you scroll the gen 9 images and then you click on one and scroll down to see the gen 5

[mighty stump]

What's that

[fallen light]

is what I’m using

[mighty stump]

Thankyou!

[cedar quest]

... but that'd be wrong

[acoustic saddle]

you are wong

[cedar quest]

wong!?

[elder topaz]

i think this SHOULD just be... like.

[cedar quest]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1124234930285711383/1470959416605151435/MOST_TEMPTED_IVE_BEEN_Tyall_see_that.gif

[acoustic saddle]

yes

[elder topaz]

a repeated event...

:hehe:

[abstract blade]

i read this too i was like oh yuh 😭

[elder topaz]

give us little guys a chance

[mighty stump]

Sandslash's gen 5 animation is surprisingly nice it's got so much movement to the scales

[elder topaz]

the epic sfx guys gotta be knocked down a peg with their fancy concept arts... >:(((

[fallen light]

sandslash is a peak base for this

[mighty stump]

Everyone just submits a sandslash, unintended sandslash rush

[fallen light]

I might be making a good ol’ mime jr for one of my entries

[dreamy loom]

who took a bite out of its tail

[rapid knot]

Most podium placers make their own designs instead of taking concept art

[fallen light]

I think we should all make mimes

[rapid knot]

Sorgy
Reshiram got hungry

[fallen light]

:3

[elder topaz]

anorith too!

[fallen light]

true actually!

[elder topaz]

i meant like.

-make concept art
-sprite own concept art

[cerulean prawn]

can we take parts from other mons to make our splice? Like the eeveelutions all have the same body type but different poses

[fallen light]

anorith has the fun textures and things, and the GF employees actually remembered to shade it!!!

[slow gyro]

@cedar quest nuked my mega, hope you’re happy now

[rapid knot]

Isn't that just part of the process then?

[elder topaz]

YUP!!!

[rapid knot]

I don't think so

[slow gyro]

(My rant is a joke you don’t have to worry)

[elder topaz]

anorith's super helpful!

[fallen light]

I may make an anorith then

[elder topaz]

it has enough greens and whites! and three variations of RED!

[rapid knot]

If you can't mix BW and B2W2 with the same species, I don't think you can mix different species

[elder topaz]

it has a grey problem

[fallen light]

eh

[rapid knot]

How many grey

[cerulean prawn]

oh did they say that? til

[rapid knot]

How many grey colors does it have, Duke

[carmine falcon]

this feels too simple

[fallen light]

1000 grey aint bad

[fallen light]

that’s the point

[rapid knot]

Duke asked about it

[elder topaz]

2 grey, 2 whitish, 4 greens, 3 reds

[elder topaz]

cottonee specifically

[fallen light]

that aint too bad then

[carmine falcon]

do I post it to spritework for now?

[mighty stump]

PHANPY DOES A LITTLE TOOT IN IT'S ANIMATION

[fallen light]

I mean if you are done with the design, yea

[rapid knot]

I have two impulses with this contest:
"I am despair, wither, how can there be any me in my art"
"I'm gonna crush people into dust and see how they feel about it then"

[slender thunder]

haxorus why do you have a random color above your eye

[fallen light]

I think this might be the first chance I’ve ever had at actually winning something

[cerulean prawn]

that's free aa baby

[feral surge]

I'm tempted to try to make a sprite for it for the sake of it but never post it to spritework or gallery to not break my personal rules but I probably won't have enough free time to make an extra sprite this week anyway

[mighty stump]

Shedinja's animation is pretty crazy guys

[rapid knot]

Dust

[elder topaz]

GOD!! 😄

[fallen light]

[elder topaz]

there's 1 color of gigas left over now, which i just gotta iron out

[carmine falcon]

ooo guys look at me I used the tail as the LEAF

smart brain

(this looks bad I'm just gonna make it an actual tail)

[abstract blade]

👀

[fallen light]

I have no idea what sprite to make

[mighty stump]

Spheal and Sealeo do a cute little flipper shake and then Walrein becomes sad

[abstract blade]

CYNDER CONGRATS

[elder topaz]

ALMOST DONE!!!!!!

[cerulean prawn]

THANK YOUUUUUUU

[dreamy loom]

im doin a zekrom

[fallen light]

do I make a klinklang for the meme

[elder topaz]

WHAT ARE YOU BEING CONGRATULATED FOR...

WAIT...

[abstract blade]

this makes me happy

[elder topaz]

CONGRATS ON WINNING THE CONTEST :3

[cerulean prawn]

Winning the last contest lol

haha thank you!!

[carmine falcon]

how I love this contest you do not even know

not confusing

at all

[elder topaz]

can you donate 500 dabloons from the prize money :3

[acoustic saddle]

why my low effort sili alway won

[acoustic saddle]

vongrat winninh

[jade chasm]

are gen 5 backsprites allowed

[cerulean prawn]

you guys are getting paid? :(

[elder topaz]

no that's why we're asking you

[acoustic saddle]

paid in peanuts

[abstract blade]

YOU TOO NTM, I was fully expecting ur saxophone eel to be up there

[cedar quest]

nope

[cerulean prawn]

https://tenor.com/view/wallet-money-travolta-gif-12741841

[fallen light]

my brain just thought about doing Klinklang/Bisharp and uhhhhhhh that would be funny

[elder topaz]

i mean it doesn't introduce anything to the palette

[fallen light]

There’s no way it’d be good though

[acoustic saddle]

it was a clown horn instead

[cerulean prawn]

the comments on saxophone eel really made me laugh

I love that one

[carmine falcon]

I'm assuming stuff like this isn't allowed

or is it

[jade chasm]

i was just trying to be funny but thanks for answering me

[elder topaz]

and like it's the backsprite for parts i THINK?

[fallen light]

no

[elder topaz]

thats ok

[fallen light]

no extra sfx

[dreamy loom]

i love manually coloring it to be blue again.

[cedar quest]

yes - but ur telling me you'd normally use parts from the backsprite to splice?

[elder topaz]

OHOHOHO 🔥

[carmine falcon]

sound effects/

[cedar quest]

Nah

[carmine falcon]

nah that's a sprite

[elder topaz]

i use parts of the backsprite sometimes yup

[acoustic saddle]

what if i add sfx inside the mon

[cerulean prawn]

I did that with a metang head

[mighty stump]

I have a silly idea

[fallen light]

then that’s based as hell

[abstract blade]

shhh thats why i cover it up in sprites most the time… preferably with clouds

[cedar quest]

still no

[elder topaz]

case and point:

[mighty stump]

Also can confirm Duke normally does that

[cerulean prawn]

to get the arm from a different angle

[mighty stump]

No spoilers though

This contest is the time for the silly

The silly shall prevail

[fallen light]

but I wanna see the silly

[carmine falcon]

this roaring thing is definitely needed though right right?

[elder topaz]

case and point 2:

[mighty stump]

I've dm-ed you before right? Wanna see the pokemon I wanna use?

[jagged hinge]

Idk if I’d say that’s required

[acoustic saddle]

can you ping the reply question?

[fallen light]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

[fallen light]

YES

[elder topaz]

wait

i technically have one

already done

[carmine falcon]

but then what's the point

can we just

not add anything

[jagged hinge]

Ohhh can we use back sprites???

[elder topaz]

and its GOOD!!

[elder topaz]

those are old sprites fyi

just showing you CAN use backs in splices

[fallen light]

I mean it’s just not SFX

[carmine falcon]

well

it's not adjusting shading either

or

pose

[fallen light]

the comp is basically just make a simple splice

[carmine falcon]

but then

[fallen light]

just copy my back catalogue

[carmine falcon]

what do we rate things by

[jagged hinge]

Can I adjust the shading if I flip an element

[fallen light]

and then you’ll be good

[acoustic saddle]

@abstract blade also both were single trouble entry, that made us Double

[fallen light]

I’d assume so

[cedar quest]

yea

[elder topaz]

do you guys think this is gonna be a winner

[carmine falcon]

the concept of this contest is so confusing'

[acoustic saddle]

can i eat you , can i digest

[elder topaz]

this sprite is ANCIENT...

[cerulean prawn]

splice them together as a totally legal entry to this contest

[dreamy loom]

shawtys like a melody in my head

[fallen light]

I had an idea, but I think it’s too much for this

[acoustic saddle]

no custom base tho

[abstract blade]

fr i found that pretty funny, may js need to team up next time

[elder topaz]

wait actually @cedar quest must they be made after announcement or

[fallen light]

eh, I’ll see if I can make it

[acoustic saddle]

u left me hanging with the chimecho lol

[abstract blade]

chimecho?

[cerulean prawn]

I was joking :p it'd be a 3 way fusion anyway

[slender thunder]

thanks for the idea anyways is this changed too much

[abstract blade]

the koinobori? I ASKED U IF U WANTED TO COLLAB?

dawg ion know anymore

[elder topaz]

WERE NOT ALLOWED TO COLLAB

[jade chasm]

i hope i can cut one of the legs off <3

[abstract blade]

no for double trouble

[elder topaz]

ahh ok

[acoustic saddle]

the chimecho eel, u finished everything before i can react

[rapid knot]

We are the most disgruntled mad scientists around here

Cutting a leg off might count as changing the pose

[jade chasm]

i hate gen5 blaziken but someone told me to use it so i have to

[cerulean prawn]

surely changing the pose is okay if you're just using spliced parts

[abstract blade]

AHHH MB DAWG, when i do sprites i dont get much free time so i can js finish it in one go

[mighty stump]

For no reason at all what is the pokemon with the smallest face

[carmine falcon]

that's in the announcement

pif sproters when words to read

[elder topaz]

dang it...

[acoustic saddle]

ditto

[abstract blade]

also u gotta be more clearer i though u were js giving advice, not sure if u were wanting collab since I didn’t get a clear answer

[acoustic saddle]

oddish

[abstract blade]

or maybe i did get a clear answer in ur own ntm way

[jade chasm]

they usually are always after announcement- unless someone forgets to put that rule in

[carmine falcon]

chat

I now understand

[cedar quest]

yeah I

[carmine falcon]

the idea of the contest

[slender thunder]

OK so haxorus has an AA color for the red and the black

and it uses it solely in-between green and black normally 😭

[cedar quest]

I forgot to put it in at first

[carmine falcon]

I have a theory

[slender thunder]

but hey

[carmine falcon]

so basically

[slender thunder]

that means i can use it for what it is supposed to be used

[carmine falcon]

we're spriting too slow

[jade chasm]

ah

[carmine falcon]

they want us

to not be creativity

make very amount big of sprites

[acoustic saddle]

you said you will finish it on your own, :v so i just dont know what to add there

[elder topaz]

ALMOST RID OF THE LAST GIGAS COLOR!!!

[feral surge]

I can tell you ditto is not good for splicing either order

[abstract blade]

alr in the future if I ask to collab I should probably wait for your response

[acoustic saddle]

u can palette swap

[mighty stump]

Gordo can we scale up or rotate parts or no?

[cedar quest]

yea

the reverse is also true, you can scale 'em down

[feral surge]

head for obvious reasons but body is at a weird angle so most of faces or heads you splice onto it don't really match and look a bit awkward

[elder topaz]

have to shade the inner part of the hand but i am now anorith color full

[acoustic saddle]

how can u scale splicing parts without alerted its shape

[elder topaz]

fixing outlines only

[mighty stump]

Yeah

[elder topaz]

not changing the POSE

[dreamy loom]

why does the upper area have two extra darker blues but not the lower area. this frame is Weird

[elder topaz]

TADAHH!!!

[mighty stump]

Just redo the outlines so it's not a cluster of pixels or missing outline

[carmine falcon]

can I make this a tounge

[acoustic saddle]

also who want to be Mai Valentine

[dreamy loom]

is it shading. what is it. this confounds me

[feral surge]

like this

[elder topaz]

can we

PLEASE...

do these contests in the future too

:3

[acoustic saddle]

no

[elder topaz]

ugh

[mighty stump]

Also incase anyone wants to use seviper, seviper has a cool tongue flick frame

[elder topaz]

youre no fun...

[carmine falcon]

I would change a bit of the restrictions

like

[acoustic saddle]

THIS EVENT IS NO FUN

[dreamy loom]

Not a pif mon

[carmine falcon]

the palette thing

[acoustic saddle]

which i like

[carmine falcon]

and not altering the pose or shading

[mighty stump]

Huh?

[signal nexus]

Seviper?

Dex seviper

[opal wadi]

Seviper's IF Pokédex number is 543!

[elder topaz]

YOU ARE MISTER "I WIN WITH MY OVERPOWERING SFX AND BUFF MEN"

[dreamy loom]

...... I mixed up serperior and Seviper,

[signal nexus]

It’s a new Hoenn

[elder topaz]

I AM MISTER "I SPLICE-A DA ANORITH-A"

[acoustic saddle]

i never won anything with buff men

[elder topaz]

suprising

[carmine falcon]

even if there's kind of a meta in normal contest with the over shaded over sfx stuff

there will be a much worse meta here

[acoustic saddle]

it just how it goes

[jagged hinge]

We should have a whacky contest like this one every year

[dreamy loom]

You won in our Hearts

[elder topaz]

i DO feel like contests are just

[mighty stump]

Silly needs to win, team silly rise up

[signal nexus]

SO DON’T PARTICIPATE
Magikarp Mysteries is back with a smelly secret admirer

[cerulean prawn]

over-shaded heavy sfx stuff hasn't won the past few contests

[acoustic saddle]

can i have your heart for valentine

[dreamy loom]

900 dollars

[carmine falcon]

yeah honestly the new judging system has helped

[feral surge]

I mean no one is preventing you from splicing other sprites then gen 5 in your normal sprites

[jagged hinge]

NTM that’d kill cali

[elder topaz]

somewhat "hey you have cool sfx" or "hey you have insane shading 💥"

[carmine falcon]

idk like

[signal nexus]

Nah, it’s a heart Cali had in a jar on her desk

[acoustic saddle]

last Christmas i gave you my heart, but the verynext day u gave it aways
this year, i died from no heart

[carmine falcon]

I do feel like

[dreamy loom]

I don't know much about contests or anything. I know there's metas and whatnot but I'm just having fun,

[carmine falcon]

contests should have their current entry level

they provide good feedback

and the experienced spriters create good sprites

this hinders creativity

which I do not enjoy very much

I don't mind it it's a fun idea

[acoustic saddle]

she can mitosis

[elder topaz]

hmmm...

we could split em up

like

[carmine falcon]

can I turn the tounge red?

[elder topaz]

advanced contests and beginner contests

[cedar quest]

The simple thing to say is - if you don't like this one, just.. don't enter?

Entry period is shorter than last one, and we got other stuff still happening

[mighty stump]

The people who enjoy making completely custom from scratch elaborate sprites aren't going to die because one contest is centered around simple splices

[cedar quest]

exactly yea

[jagged hinge]

This contest is going to be about stretching your brain as much as possible to squeeze out a great sprite with the restrictions

[dreamy loom]

I dunno why everyone's up in arms isn't this supposed to be a fun little thing

[acoustic saddle]

that cheap for such big heart

[jade chasm]

im going to be a bother and ask if we can use the shiny palette for accents

[feral surge]

can confirm

[elder topaz]

are you sure... dies

[dreamy loom]

Very small heart sorry

[elder topaz]

no

i've asked if we could use the shiny, it's a no

[acoustic saddle]

but her heart greaw five time that day

[jade chasm]

oh i cant read

[slender thunder]

if you use riolu's eye colors

[jagged hinge]

It might be a good idea to have a drive with the allowed sprites

[carmine falcon]

gordo is this allowed?

[elder topaz]

i DO think the backsprite rule is bs a little, like.

those don't provide new palette stuff or anything...

[carmine falcon]

I got the tounge from the flipped ear of riolu

and added like a line

[cedar quest]

yea, why wouldn't it be?

[carmine falcon]

and made it red

[elder topaz]

they just provide parts really

[dreamy loom]

backstreets arent in pif I suppose

[carmine falcon]

idk

[dreamy loom]

BACKSTREETS?

[slender thunder]

riolu go blehhh

[carmine falcon]

the restrictions are overworking my brain

[dreamy loom]

Thanks autocorrect

[signal nexus]

What if you’re doing mawile?

[elder topaz]

i mean not as a sprite itself, i meant parts in that sense?

[carmine falcon]

there's too much to think of my brain can't handle it

[slender thunder]

you must use things in smart new ways
like that tongue

[cedar quest]

why would that change anything

[elder topaz]

like i've taken parts from a Sceptile and Girafarig backsprite

[carmine falcon]

no

gordo you do not see the vision

what if you did

[cedar quest]

I do but like

[acoustic saddle]

hmmmm nibbles

[carmine falcon]

mawile

[cedar quest]

still no

[carmine falcon]

ok but like gordo

imagine

[dreamy loom]

Well for the sake of this contest it isn't allowed and I don't see what's so bad abt that. Recreate the circle

[carmine falcon]

you used mawile

I think this contest if ran like usual contests

it would have

a funni meta

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/backstreet-boys-aj-mv-backstreets-back-gif-7990661

[feral surge]

I mean that's the same thing like any other gen or custom base that is not using a different or custom pallet does but you aren't allowed to use those either and you seem pretty happy about that part

[elder topaz]

no i'm unhappy about the palette i'm waging war against that

[dreamy loom]

Splicing doesn't mean you... can't draw original parts. You guys do know this right

[slender thunder]

did you know i made a mawile palette that is less orange
i dont mind the official palette for the orange but this matches the official art more this is unrelated to the convo is just wanted to tell yall

[cedar quest]

for the record I think that palette is better

But y'know

that's not GF

[elder topaz]

but i can't avoid that

[dreamy loom]

For the sake of this event you just can't do it too much. Leave it within a recognizable range

[slender thunder]

well good thing I have no gf

[dreamy loom]

Like I'm spriting zekrom's tail but the full thing is covered up by an arm so im.. redrawing it

[slender thunder]

i should sleep

[rapid knot]

Gordo said in sp disc that at least 60% of the base should remain intact

[cedar quest]

I did say that

[elder topaz]

crechur

[cedar quest]

Am I going to mathmatically calculate 60% of each sprite

No

[dreamy loom]

Granted its been painful and I Hate It

[cedar quest]

I'm just saying that there should be more of the GF sprite

than more newly made stuff

[feral surge]

who was arguing that?

[slender thunder]

reuniclueless

[carmine falcon]

POLAND

[signal nexus]

If nothing else, this might encourage me to finish up my final spritelocke tally

[carmine falcon]

wrong pic

INDONESIA

[elder topaz]

binky

[dreamy loom]

Idk, Duke is real upset abt not being able to use parts from backsprites but like.. you can still create certain parts so

[elder topaz]

i mean like, backsprites are moreso just a parts resource in that sense

[slender thunder]

taking a part from a backsprite should technically be fine then if its not too much

I am also gonna make a Zubat for this

[signal nexus]

What if Duke does it anyway
And eats the disqualification if it comes

[slender thunder]

cuz zubat makes for nice splices

[elder topaz]

i haven't done it so like

[slender thunder]

the mouth

[dreamy loom]

Ahhh you're all so confusing I'm gonna sprite

[slender thunder]
