[signal nexus]

send that fanart to the Uranium discord

[jade chasm]

hmmm not funny enough

[signal nexus]

🤔 maybe it can qualify if you have the Uranium queen bug + a suspiciously similar fusion with one of them saying "Okay, one of us will have to change"

[potent sorrel]

Anyone who makes fan art of my fusions
-# might
Get one back

I only say might incase I get too many or dont have as much time as I think I do

[jagged sparrow]

Im not enter

I’ve already finished PIF fan art quota for the year

[cedar quest]

I recognize that Lampent

[jade chasm]

i might do that, thats pretty funny

hey guys guess who is making a reference sprite instead

when did gamr orange

[slow gyro]

Well, it’s a shame I don’t actually know how to draw

We’ll see if I’m able to participate

[echo peak]

I'm using pixel art so...

My preferred style anyways as most drawings outside of one are just sketches

[maiden bone]

your drawings are great though! really loved your fan art from the previous event, i rarely draw myself so im sure mine will be kinda sloppy but it sounds like fun so im excited to participate anyway

[echo peak]

At first I was adamant per usual with new contests / events, but now that I have a decent idea rolling, I could probably finish this by Saturday or Sunday at best but I want to get some sprites out of the way first

[slow gyro]

I have no idea how I made those

I mean I know how, but I guess I’m just not used to working without a base

[echo peak]

Pure skill of course

And a running idea

[slow gyro]

Yea I guess

We’ll see if I’m able to pull out something fun

[echo peak]

You've got this

I'm going off gut instinct for mine so let's see how far it leads us!

[mighty stump]

That's the best way to do fanart, follow your heart

[rigid abyss]

@cedar quest do we use #1263858526829416539 as last time to showoff our fanart?

[mighty stump]

Oh damn I didn't see that there were only two entries per person before, good thing I didn't start anything yet then sjxjnsjsjdjd

Imma just have to put a bunch of peeps in one image

[signal nexus]

mass attack!

[torpid osprey]

Dang, don't think I'll be doing something tbh
Spriting is about as artistic as I can become (besides having no draeing stuff at all but eh)
Have fun guys

[mighty stump]

Have you considered you don't need to make "good" art to have it be something that resonates with people and makes them happy

[torpid osprey]

Love that this event isn't just another contest tho

[torpid osprey]

I know, I know.
Maybe if I gind time to even consider doing a piece

See I misread your typo as grind and thought you had to grind xp to level up your time or something

[whole arrow]

I want to do something like this but I haven't found the perfect fusion yet

Maybe 👀

[whole arrow]

@errant schooner

I'm not sure what kind of pokémon I'm going to have being lured but I am absolutely loving this right now

[hazy tapir]

Wait… there’s a second fan art event when the last one that was a contest still hasn’t had its results revealed?

[whole arrow]

Not technically a contest

[hazy tapir]

That’s why I said event for this one and specified the last one was a contest

[whole arrow]

Oh

[limpid sphinx]

i should just leak the contest one results right

[hazy tapir]

Oh I see

I’m a bit salty cus I put a lot of effort into my entry for that :/

So do I reupload my previous entry then?

[rigid abyss]

nah theyll auto be included in the collage i think

[hazy tapir]

Ok

[hazy tapir]

Unironically yes
(Joke don’t if you’re not allowed to lol)

[cedar quest]

(IDC, do it )

[potent sorrel]

I will say
Not that its too much of a complaint
I feel like the dead line could have been April 29th instead
Tho the non competitive event is a really nice breath of fresh air

I do mostly say that cause I have like- 2-3 days a week for art

[cedar quest]

Ideally I'd have the college done before MergeMay starts

[rigid abyss]

gordogordogordo ^^^

@cedar quest

[cedar quest]

If you want to, sure

[minor roost]

Oh fanart event Is back let's go

[rigid abyss]

ye

whos the crazy person that fanarts all of the togeplumes

[minor roost]

I mean only the sprited ones atleast

[cedar quest]

I'd use a Togeplume Wallpaper

[hazy tapir]

@limpid sphinx

I am very curious lol

[limpid sphinx]

should we really do it gordo XD i mean we can have it done yet...

we need what one or two more judges i dont remember

[cedar quest]

It's canned already, it don't matter

[limpid sphinx]

ok so here it is ||the top of the list cuz im lazy to screenshot everything||

only 4 judges btw lolol

most of the judges joined

[hushed stream]

whoa those are so cool

[kindred valley]

what were the judging criteria out of curiosity? bc that's a lot of different art styles

-# for once this is a contest i had no personal stake in

[sly shuttle]

||No score can be below 5||

[limpid sphinx]

||and personal taste ||

||btw funny that anyways no one won it, triple tie and since none of them got 11's its just a tie yeah lololol||

[mystic nacelle]

||Is the sheet broken? Cuz only half of the entries show up on the results tab||

[signal nexus]

how'd the papier mache entries do?

[limpid sphinx]

||yeah it is i think its only showing til the 25 or something||

||thought it was my internet when i first saw it btw lololol||

[limpid sphinx]

workin rn but i can check soon~

[whole arrow]

I'm kind of glad that I dropped out of that contest because I definitely wasn't there yet with my skills

My scenes were very fun and interesting but I certainly don't have the chops to outrender those ones on the top

Like I was doing so much experimenting that I wasn't getting enough done in my opinion lol.

[jagged hinge]

This one would be rather nice with some clouds and stuff in the sky

[whole arrow]

The point of it was to have a trainer and a Blastoise sprinting back into the ocean in a comical manner afraid as hell of the giant heads lol

You see the footprints lol?

[jagged hinge]

You could finish it for the event just for fun

[whole arrow]

I guess since it's not a contest I could 🤔

[jagged hinge]

Yeee have some fun art-ing

[whole arrow]

One of the things that I'm going to definitely force myself to do is try some of the brushes presets that I have in my app

What kind of things are you going guys going to do to step out of your comfort zones?

[cedar quest]

Easy: host a for fun/no competition event

[whole arrow]

( jk)

[signal nexus]

actually finish the artwork i'm claiming to do

[whole arrow]

If anyone is looking through sprites today and finds really cool scary underwater stuff Please let me know??

Like I kind of want to do this one as like a mermaid luring someone and then the mouth is coming up behind them from a dark water spot

@stable dirge

[echo peak]

You've got this

It looks great so far

[whole arrow]

Bro has like 80 shades of color in just this little area right here I don't think I have it lol

[echo peak]

Simplify it

It may not be what you have in mind but it'll make it easier

[whole arrow]

I'm certainly going for more stylistic rather than realistic or hyper realistic lol

[echo peak]

Ah ok

[whole arrow]

Oh right one humongous freaking thing is I haven't had Photoshop in years and I can finally afford it again might buy the subscription today actually.

I mean I'm literally finger painting all my concepts on my cell phone app recently lol

[signal nexus]

My friend loves sketchbook pro which is an one-time $20 payment? i might be mixing it up with aseprite
photopea is a free browser version of photoshop if you have a good adblocker

[hazy tapir]

Man I was one off being on podium, that hurts

My art feels like the one thing I have going for me cus Ive got zero chance of ever winning a sprite contest

Eh guess it doesnt matter

[mighty stump]

Rendering is not end all be all, those look awesome

[mighty stump]

I ALSO LOVE SKETCHBOOK PRO AND CAN CONFIRM IT ONLY COSTS 20 DOLLARS

Or you can use the old version when it was made by AutoDesk that is now free since it was abandoned

Also Adobe bizarely I think has one 100% free drawing app (unless that changed since a yearish ago lol) called Fresco

[kindred valley]

it's still free

somehow

[mighty stump]

Adobe behind sketchy business practices and Photoshop which they want you to spend your soul on for eternity but also have an entirely free drawing app???????

I will never understand companies

[whole arrow]

[echo peak]

ok idk if I'll be able to make this or not

I have the idea down but my idea of shading perspective sucks

I'm thinking a desert sunset but idk yet

might do something different

[echo peak]

I have no ideas unless I just make this with a desert background. I literally have no ideas

[mighty stump]

You just gotta start slappin stuff down to get a better idea of how you want it

[echo peak]

If I could use my own fusions I'd probably have better ideas but I need to use a "fusion I like" but my brain isn't clicking

[signal nexus]

you can make them scrungly

sorry i was listening to clown music at the time and omitted the lead-in to my logic
find a sprite that just wowed you! that you remember because it's cool!
and don't worry about not making it could because you can make it just a scrungly guy

like this nerd
you can have him be bullied
https://www.fusiondex.org/surskit+spinda/

"Worm, who are you talking to?" idk i just finished my taxes and my brain is full of clown music

[echo peak]

Think I might have some idea

Originally it was an idea was tied between a desert or space and I originally chose desert thanks to a vote here but I think I'll go with something I can go crazy with

And it'll be pixel art because drawing this out would be way past the deadline nor would I be able to execute it as well

[bright raptor]

votes are not binding contracts! do the thing that makes you happy

oop wrong channel

god the cascoon thing was in the wrong one too. i was all kinds of tired this evening. my bad

[echo peak]

Well if you insist

[echo peak]

I have nothing for this contest

[signal nexus]

it's not a contest it's a fiesta which means have fun

[echo peak]

It's hard to have fun when you have ideas you can't execute

[signal nexus]

steal someone else's idea

[hushed stream]

make bad art. it's good for you

[echo peak]

Well I have something now thanks to Worm.

Just big sketches so far

[south meteor]

Yes, get that frustration out on the canvas and trust the process.

If there is no process, just grind it out until something resonates.

[echo peak]

Hopefully I have time to turn it into pixel art. If not it's just gonna be a jumbled mess of sketch lines

[south meteor]

That's fine too, some people find beauty in a chaotic mess. Not everything has to be so fine-tuned and precise.

[cerulean prawn]

This whole event is about the gesture, it doesn't matter at all whether the art is perfect

[signal nexus]

😤 you're gonna make me submit a set of scribbled fanarts out of spite

[echo peak]

That's what I'm basically doing

[slender thunder]

gordo explains: what's a spritelock?

[proven nova]

@cedar quest I did a Spritelocke too. I just didn't stream it. Here was my final team:

[valid tendon]

Im still very confused about this spritelocke thing

[south meteor]

You find autogens, you sprite them.

They become team members.

[balmy breach]

i think i understand the gist
but do you sprite just the autogen you find, or its final evolution if its an autogen?
and if you get an autogen that evolves into an autogen, do you sprite both?

[south meteor]

Idk, I would sprite all the autogens I find and it would take forever to finish.

[proven nova]

I just sprited any autogen I used

[balmy breach]

noted
curious about running one myself then, although def wouldnt end up streaming it

[valid tendon]

I already have a backlog of sprites to make......
But this does sound pretty fun

[sly shuttle]

I don’t understand why I, a spriter, should play PIF

[balmy breach]

ironically, the pipeline for me started in the inverse, where i was a frequent player before becoming a spriter
shocking, i realize

[sly shuttle]

I assume that you just need to sprite anything on your active team at any point

[valid tendon]

Same here lol

[balmy breach]

noted, had a feeling
just didnt know if it was odd to end up spriting an autogen, then using the fully evolved team member with someone else's sprite entirely, but thats not the point i realize

[mighty stump]

I played pif until realizing I could make sprites and then never really went back to finish the game

[sly shuttle]

Will you go back once all of the sprites are finished?

[mighty stump]

So in like fifty years? Sure

[south meteor]

I have yet to play the game. I wanna sprite my dream team first and the most important component is missing.

[sly shuttle]

If only frog would stop moving the goal post we might get past 75%

[sly shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/gothitelle-pokemon-gothitelle-flatter-gothitelle-uses-flatter-gif-5811101145160484338

[south meteor]

Gothitelle too, but I meant my reference team.

[sly shuttle]

Ahh

Which mon would that be then?

I’ll vote for it on the next addition

[south meteor]

It's using mons already in the game, so you're good.

I'm just too lazy to sprite it as it's very ambitious.

[signal nexus]

i'm doing that and i think i just beat Surge
i started uhhh
well, dhelmise/chikorita which was galposted mid-December 2024

[valid tendon]

Ill start this after I get a few more sprites off my backlog, its gonna be fun on a bun

[cedar quest]

That's what I did in my case, alongside a couple things I used for the Regi puzzles

But it's Mysts discretion on how they wanna enforce the rule

[hardy oxide]

My friend introduced me to pif and then we both discovered that my computer couldn’t handle the load lol

So naturally I became a spriter instead

Now that my sprites are in the game tho idk how I feel about actually playing, I feel like I’d be very biased

[cedar quest]

Like I know early on I had wanted to make all of them only by myself, but then I realized

1: I am a slow ass spriter

2: It'd be more fun to include others in the form of collabing via Concept Arts through the run.

[hardy oxide]

I wasn’t there for the actual spritelocke but I think making it more interactive through concept art was a great idea

[cedar quest]

The run would not have felt the same without these designs

[slender thunder]

I sprite fast if I have a vision but with the random nature of this that may not always happen so yeah I'll absolutely be accepting concept arts too (collabs are fun)

[signal nexus]

of downloading all the sprites?

[plush vale]

then stop spritings asses smh

[slow gyro]

My EGirl and Dinosaur are there

[slender thunder]

torkoal roserade has grandma vibes

oh yeah im gonna doodle some more pokefusion heads for fun

i just need to find some more fusions that ive been obssessed with for a while

[hardy oxide]

Who knows my friend told me that he asked tech support and they just said I should get a better potato powered toaster

[elder marlin]

Maybe that’s the problem. You need to play on your potato powered smart fridge instead of the toaster.

[south meteor]

I'm gunna watch everyone else have fun for now.

Had a plan but body said nope.

[echo peak]

I love the Torkoal

[mighty stump]

YESSSS!!!!

HAVE FUN AND WHIMSY!!!!!

DON'T STOP!!!!!!

[dense jackal]

in case i don't finish this I'd like to leave you all with this very confusing preview of a fanart

[signal nexus]

why is frisk being stalked by a balloon banana

[dense jackal]

[echo peak]

Mine's coming along pretty well actually

I can easily finish this up by Sunday as I'll have more time over the weekend.

[mighty stump]

YOOO AWESOME!!!!

That's such a neat scene

[dreamy loom]

I still gotta work on mine grrr

[acoustic saddle]

who want to make a sprite lock collab

[proven nova]

So what’s happening to MergeMay?

[oblique heath]

all spriters merge together in a big ball till the end of the month

[proven nova]

Dear god

[signal nexus]

i feel i should experiment with cooler perspective and camera angle but i feel if i do that i won't start

[cyan gull]

It's not exactly May yet

[proven nova]

I thought the “Jacks in the Box” event replaced it

[cyan gull]

No, that's a recurring event

[limpid sphinx]

nah theyre totally right jack in the box replaced mergemay you can see it on the announce

May, i introduce

definitely mergemay

[lethal ruin]

alr thx

[limpid sphinx]

so its just, post on gallery and its fine 😄

[signal nexus]

oh, for PotW? the robot does it, so it's just a galpost

[lethal ruin]

alr

[limpid sphinx]

such a smart robot

[signal nexus]

uhhhh petyanmega.gif
i don't have one and it's too 5 hours of sleep for me to search for it

[limpid sphinx]

[minor garnet]

Wow I can type in here now

Oh wait

[valid tendon]

So for clarification, the spritelocke is just a silly little thing with no strict ruleset correct?

[slender thunder]

It's not a nuzlocke, mhm

[valid tendon]

I got that much, I more so asked cause I made the starter mew lol

[torpid osprey]

The Challenge is to challenge yourself artistically by working with the pokemon you're given

[torpid osprey]

That sounds like a fun set up for great works

[slender thunder]

Oh if you want to it's your own run

For my run I'll be doing randomized, probably not too insane with a similar bst range

[valid tendon]

Yep, I already working on 2 sprites

I did remix with mew starter and balanced randomized encounters at the update guy

[signal nexus]

for those of you wondering about spriting every autogen you come across-
I traveled through Rock Tunnel, scoured the Sewers, beat Erika, and saved Mr Fuji
and i now have about 100 autogens to sprite

-# this is with full insane randomization and fuse everything checked, by the by

[lethal ruin]

frick i lost

i made 3

[sly shuttle]

Lost what?

[signal nexus]

there is an unfortunate hurdle early game if you choose similar BST
and it's that early game pokemon tend to have low BST
and so does shedinja
which means you might end up running into a Wonder Guard wall

[signal nexus]

i think they decided to nuzlocke their spritelocke

[sly shuttle]

Sad day

[lethal ruin]

potw

[sly shuttle]

That was my initial guess

[signal nexus]

oh 😅

[sly shuttle]

More sprites won’t increase your chance of winning

[mighty stump]

Oh is that how I got a shedinja

Shedinja is one of my fave little guys

[signal nexus]

look, one time i entered PotW and it turned out the bot was down at that time and the only other person who entered won ^_^;;

[mighty stump]

I bullied other trainers with a voltorb shedinja, it was funny

[slender thunder]

I entered potw once and won

[minor garnet]

DA.E

Damn

SAME

Uhh you sure… because you don’t have the role saying you did…

[potent sorrel]

Awww, thank you

[signal nexus]

So how was the spritelock
I was at work and missed everything

[tired jay]

the reacts describe it pretty well

[dense jackal]

Is that description in English...?

[cedar quest]

yes

[signal nexus]

Pondlober

Spinky and Jiggy

how many sprites did we make?

[tired jay]

Like 3-4

[signal nexus]

how long did each sprite take

[tired jay]

One got very distracted by pond, lobsters, shrimp, and more

[signal nexus]

one... sprite? got distracted?

[tired jay]

no idea, wasn't keeping track

[signal nexus]

okay okay did we at least make it through Mt Moon

[tired jay]

at one point when I looked at the screen

[tired jay]

yeah

[tired jay]

P O N D becoming the word to trigger chat to all say it

there was also a fair bit of DOOTDOOT early on

[signal nexus]

wait feck the emoji is not dootdoot

[mighty stump]

[whole arrow]

How do we get this role /j

[rigid abyss]

kinda curious how gordo will make a collage when half the fanarts have like a background to em

[torpid osprey]

Cutouts or just a big Wall with each one framed

[minor garnet]

@cedar quest Is gonna draw the background of the collage in all of your different styles so it looks like 1 big picture!

[cedar quest]

I am???

what

[minor garnet]

Yeah werent you gonna spend a lot of time on that?

/j

[signal nexus]

okay i have five more days for FF

You should check the fanart drive

[long basin]

What’s in the fart drive?

[minor garnet]

stinky

[signal nexus]

okay, did i hit something and now Recurring Event Notifications isn't visible or is this a server thing?

oh okay i must've removed the event role somehow

[astral niche]

what happened to event announcement

it isn't there anymore

[signal nexus]

oh, it's not just me?
go to id:customize and click this section to get them all back

[astral niche]

oh ok

yay it's back

[tame egret]

wait but what if i want to see the events but not get pinged

[mighty stump]

You can go to all channels no?

[kindred valley]

no surprisingly

[cedar quest]

Nope, the perms only give channel access to those with either of the Event Ping roles

Could maybe make a suggestion for a new role that just gives access to these chats, but no ping????

That's up to y'all to decide if the pings bother you or not

Regardless, results time! I got a message to type up

[echo peak]

oh boy

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/anxious-gif-10850662

pls remember that a 5 = "as good as a GameFreak sprite"

since i know people can get upset over results

[echo peak]

no comment

[kindred valley]

huh. is the event ping-only thing a new thing? i must have missed it

[signal nexus]

that's more a notice to folks who haven't entered a contest before and might feel blindsided
i've seen it happen

[slow gyro]

Haha funny mother of three doesn’t go zzz

[signal nexus]

anyway, 0 surprise Hero's kangaskhans got a spotlight. they're great n funny

[echo peak]

they always have good sprite perspective

[signal nexus]

okay, why do people react with the kangaroo emoji? at least it made sense with the kangaskhan

i saw Tak tableflip so hard on the registeel. the result on the dragalge is great, even if i have no idea what the machinery actually is

[echo peak]

I'm not excited for my placements

[signal nexus]

and Sami gets the third for the goofy goobers

[elder marlin]

We’ve BEEN kangaroo reacting every announcement post even if they have no relation to it for at least a year now

[cedar quest]

It's a running joke

[signal nexus]

yeah, but why?

Anways off I go to do the role stuff and server icon and blah blah blah

You get it

[echo peak]

wait, where's my Slugma/Dragagle?

[south meteor]

I didn't get pinged so I'm guessing I didn't place anywhere, oh well. Looks like I need to dig up the event channels all over again.

[kindred valley]

good lord what are these judge names

[echo peak]

wait, I don't see my Paras/Dragagle too

[signal nexus]

🤔 well, at least i'm consistent
not sure if there's much i can change for the zorua, though

[elder marlin]

I love how the judge names are the kinds of evolution methods

[signal nexus]

oh, haven't you heard about more recent evo methods?

[kindred valley]

also people really popped off on this one, which is especially impressive given the sheer amt of contests + the 2-sprites-per-entry thing!

[echo peak]

creativity is goddamn punished

[kindred valley]

i am Aware and they are also Cursed

[signal nexus]

yeah, i don't know why everyone got yeeted

[echo peak]

SO MUCH FOR CREATIVITY

[slow gyro]

@urban siren Congrats

[signal nexus]

easy there, onyx

[echo peak]

not like I could've won but come on man

[slow gyro]

Judges can be wrong, I still think it was really creative and a peak idea, some of my favorite entries

[echo peak]

glad someone acknowledges my creativity

ffs

[south meteor]

HELL YEAH, TOP 10!!

[echo peak]

lucky

[kindred valley]

tbf contests aren't usually the best place to judge if radically creative things work or not

[hollow grove]

Congrats winners, and awesome job everyone, these were super crazy!!!!!

[slow gyro]

I think this is my first time being the spotlight

[south meteor]

I AM SORRY, JOJO!!

[kindred valley]

wait i got (tie for) 4th????? holy

[echo peak]

@cedar quest was the mini Dragalge not allowed or something? just gotta know

[signal nexus]

consistency again
thanks for the other judge for clarifying which sprite y'all were talking about
🤔 i think by "limbs" they mean the legs and ankles

[slow gyro]

Wdym? Each entry was one line

Two sprites = One Entry

[echo peak]

whatever

fuck me for trying something creative

[slow gyro]

Onyx come on man

I can’t cheer you up every time you need to do it yourself

[hollow grove]

Its okay we all did rlly well! I am satisfied with where i placed for the most part and i think the comments i got are pretty fair. Palkia galge won 1st in my heart tho 💖

[topaz quest]

Woot woot! Shady potion seller sold me 3rd!

[echo peak]

Just let me sulk

[kindred valley]

i'm a big fan of your acid colored aurorus! aurorus buddies lol

[signal nexus]

ouch, 49th and 51st out of 56
i'll just say my competition was hella strong

[slow gyro]

No, you’re being toxic to everyone else and yourself
Just let things happen man, maybe the judges didn’t like it, who cares? The sprites were cool and a lot of people liked it, stop focusing on the negatives and start focusing on the positives

[signal nexus]

which is true

[cedar quest]

Line 36

[hollow grove]

Thanks so much, ur entries were absolute violet fire as well. I rlly had to resist the urge to not participate so that I could judge and gush about how pretty all the entries were in the comments lol

[cedar quest]

No, it was def allowed

[echo peak]

That's all I need to know then

[kindred valley]

well i'm glad you joined 🔥

[echo peak]

Sorry per usual

[cedar quest]

Nymph gonna be suprised since they don't have the event role to see the channel

[signal nexus]

the other judge thought it was a great creative choice

[cedar quest]

2 in a row wtf

[south meteor]

Man, I feel like some entries should have earned more.

[kindred valley]

LOL seeing the baby in the icon is so funny
i know it spins around to the big one but still

[hollow grove]

That server icon is craaaazy

[echo peak]

Well there's something I guess

[hollow grove]

So pretty

[cedar quest]

I remembered to anon the judges this time

[signal nexus]

go through and comment on the ones you liked

[cedar quest]

oh no I made the baby a bit bigger

[fickle iron]

Wow both my entries scored in the bottom half that sucks

[rich hemlock]

Man I wanna get back into contests, life and motivation be a lil wack and I keep flaking whenever i think about making something 🫠

[cedar quest]

||oh btw despite the name of 400 Meltan Candies, that is not me - I did not judge this time ||

[echo peak]

Well now I feel like shit per usual in all of this

[signal nexus]

counterproposal: you were great as well. competition was just fierce

[slow gyro]

Onyx saying sorry for crashing out after every contest means nothing and it’s worthless, unless you start actually changing for the best
A sorry means nothing if your actions show the opposite

[echo peak]

Can't really comment on that

[slow gyro]

Well the competition was really hard this time, there’s nothing to be sad about, I think your entries were great

[south meteor]

I learned that Smogon Dragalge palette is actually doo doo and I should have brightened all of the browns a bit.

[slow gyro]

We can’t always win, specially in contests with this many people

[signal nexus]

wanna do the thing i suggested to PinkPalkia? go through and compliment all the entries you liked?
it might make you feel better to be relentlessly positive about something

[hardy oxide]

All of the entries on this contest were beautiful I didn’t even see half of them but now looking at the chart everything was so well executed :0

[cedar quest]

I've been here for 5 years and still haven't won, and I make the things

[slow gyro]

You could have used mine

[south meteor]

Also it's getting hard to win without resorting to using a custom palette.

[cedar quest]

You'd think I'd know what to make the win

[echo peak]

Eh idk

[signal nexus]

it'd make me and the rest of us in the bottom half happy

[kindred valley]

cali did this last time it was 🔥
well really she complimented every single entry, which is even more goated

[fickle iron]

Yeah a really tough mountain to climb for sure. It will be climbed nonetheless

[hushed stream]

wait how do i find the announcement channel now. sorry if this has been answered a million times

[south meteor]

Er.. I'm not good at compliments. I don't really know what I did right this time.

[echo peak]

I might

[kindred valley]

you need the event ping role now :0

[slow gyro]

Just remember than in a contest with 100 entries, there are 100 places, someone has to be number 100 even if the entry was great, that just mean the competition was harsh and there’s nothing to be salty about

[hushed stream]

what D:

but I don't want pings :(

[cedar quest]

Hmm...

I'll ask Paya and Saph if #event-announcements can remain as casually viewable

And if people want the #1149373303669145751 stuff, that's when they grab the role

[south meteor]

Also stop perceiving every event as competitive when they're not. A coin flip or a d10 roll is not a contest to me.

[cedar quest]

3rd one this hour goddamn

[slow gyro]

Ask them if we can get the Meloetta music bot

[cedar quest]

What would we even use if for

[elder marlin]

Bots are HUNGRY for data today

[hardy oxide]

Was that a spambot I just saw get nuked

First time seeing one

[signal nexus]

also #recurring-events, #contest-polls, and #contest-gallery were removed from my sidebar before i clicked the thing

[cedar quest]

Those are also under the ping role

[south meteor]

Bro these spam bots are so dang annoying, I hate watching my favorite channels light up every hour just to see old messages.

[cedar quest]

Which that... I agree with

[hushed stream]

what are those channels

[cedar quest]

We did a bit of an overhaul on the role recently

[echo peak]

It's just how I am but you make a point

[hushed stream]

I can't see them bc I don't want pings lol

[elder marlin]

Also even worse with the bots now is that apparently even opening the images they send out can somehow compromise your account

[hushed stream]

i get pinged enough

[elder marlin]

Don’t ask how, this is just info I heard

[hushed stream]

wtf i look at those channels too when there's new stuff there

[slow gyro]

I’m sorry onyx but that’s not “just how you are”
It’s something you need to work on, not for us, but for you

[echo peak]

I see

[signal nexus]

anyway, for the third time
looks like skr/ark got no critiques (aside from "bald but cool about it?"), so i'll galpost that
the zorua might need some touching up to make it recognizable or with some tweaks to the lighting, and the dragalge needs the feet fixed, i think 🤔

[cedar quest]

There's also #1149373303669145751

[hardy oxide]

It’s a very solid fusion :>

Love the way you did the tail

I-

[kindred valley]

4 OF THEM

[signal nexus]

are u fluckign kidding me

[hardy oxide]

I’ve never seen a spambot before today

[hushed stream]

i shrimply do not wish to be pinged unless someone is talking to me directly

[hardy oxide]

Now I’ve seen 2

[elder marlin]

Holy they are ultra aggressive today

[signal nexus]

and they're popping in here again!

[hardy oxide]

Are we getting bombed by spambots

[elder marlin]

Always have been

But way more today

[hushed stream]

anyone wanna share a link to the results doc here

[elder marlin]

Then before

[signal nexus]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18mGyZyE_UGjInc7QanEsxjxnfr3SMMvFLGZurdhcI0I/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[elder marlin]

Can next event be the spambot purge event where we purge users from the server

[south meteor]

There are hella high scorers, it was really tough to stand out.

[cedar quest]

High scores tend to happen when I get max judges for a contest

[south meteor]

Hall of Fame, fusions, Discord suggestions, concept art, and spriter general are the channels I view the most.

I was looking at average scores. Looooots of 7-9.

[hushed stream]

i was replying to worm there (without using the reply feature lol) but it's still interesting to hear what channels people look at the most :o

[cedar quest]

||I thought that too, but didn't wanna say anything ||

[south meteor]

The lighting up has been bothering me for a couple of months, but it saves mods the frustration of manually banning so many of them every day.

[urban siren]

ty!!

[urban siren]

what event role

[cedar quest]

I have since changed it

To where to view #event-announcements, and #event-general - no role is needed

oh nvm you have 'em both

Then why tf did it not want to let me ping you

I had to type that podium in #spriter-general for it to work, then copypaste it

[urban siren]

bugcord

[cedar quest]

True 😭

[signal nexus]

don't even need to say bugcord. it's the definition of discord itself

[dreamy loom]

Oh yeah CONGRATS NYMPH!!! A FULL 100!!!!!

You earned that spot girl

[arctic spindle]

Congrats

I'm happy with the score i got i got no criticism on the magikarp which was amazing

[plush vale]

hrmm do like to look at contest gallery and polls stuff sometimes but dont wanna get pinged about event stuff

[placid briar]

did all the threads in here get nuked?

[signal nexus]

you have to grab the role

[placid briar]

thats... super weird

i hope i can mute pings then

because like the one event im in doesn't ping for events at all

[acoustic saddle]

weird

[sharp mountain]

yeah it's an awful change

[whole arrow]

Knew it was only a matter of time before nymph got a title

[cloud solstice]

Congrats to the winners

[echo peak]

Congrats

[steady pasture]

This feels... very purist... I love wooper's shading even if it doesn't feel 100% Pokemon style, whatever that means...

[tame egret]

I got a 10

[subtle moss]

I don't think I scored particularly highly by virtue of every entry being awesome

[steady pasture]

Okay wtf... it's one thing to hide channels ppl might not be interested in, but to deny access unless i get a role?
I just don't want to get pinged for events, it doesn't mean i don't at least want to check if there's any i might be interested in
For example i still check in on PoTW and Concept Craze

Along with the new changes to the rules/guidelines, did the staff just get itchy fingers and decide to mess things around cuz they were bored?

At least create a new role that can see the event channels but won't get pinged

Oh, it seems they are in fact aware of this nonsense issue. Maybe if they hadn't done this in the first place, there wouldn't be a need for it

[supple mulch]

Same for me for Theme Blitz, Finish The Line, Prize Hunters and sometimes Concept Craze

[cerulean prawn]

@cedar quest can we undo the changes to the event channels if you don't have the ping role I hate getting pinged randomly and people can hide those channels themselves if they're bothered

Discord makes it incredibly easy (too easy in fact, I have missed that channels even exist before because discord hides them automatically)

[mighty stump]

Yeah I don't think anyone needed this change, it kind of solved nothing and added a problem

[cerulean prawn]

I had the role briefly, but getting pinged for a bunch of events I wasn't personally interested all the time got really annoying

If we're keeping the change can we at least get a separate role for community event pings? They're all great but I don't need a ping every time one of them updates

honestly the only time I'd want a ping is for the big contests/rushes/etc, but i cant get those with the way it's currently set up

[mighty stump]

Upon looking at discord suggestions it seems this change was made for some back end reason that we aren't aware of?

I would like to know the reason if possible

[cerulean prawn]

Wha

[cyan gull]

Just mute #event-announcements , since that's pretty much the only channel that pings the big role

[cerulean prawn]

I don't want to mute that though, I want to see when there's new messages without being pinged

[cyan gull]

You can remove notifs without muting

[cloud solstice]

Have you checked in id:customize? Ik I loose access despite having the ping roles if I don't check the "I want to vote and participate in events"

[cerulean prawn]

Oh shit, neat

[cloud solstice]

I removed the 2 pings roles and still see the channel but that might be bc I'm a mime

[cyan gull]

It's because you are a mime

[cloud solstice]

Damn

[cyan gull]

This is entirely so that if a Mime were to misuse the perm, it'd be self-contained

[cloud solstice]

Clown privilege ig

[cyan gull]

This goes both for intentional and unintentional griefing

[dense jackal]

Huh.... I didn't think I had those roles, but I'll be able to check easily by sending this message

Just the special one I guess

Oh, wow, ok, yeah. I wasn't sure from the discussions previously, but even with "show all channels" ticked you still can't see them. I thought it was the discord "hide for convenience" thing, but they're for-real hidden

[limpid sphinx]

looks like i won again

[cyan gull]

No, because the channel and roles thingy ties it to a role

You need a role to tie the channel perms to

[limpid sphinx]

i think it means that fabric/fins dont looks that much like candy on gen 5 pokemon (that is what we usually try to mimic)

i didnt take points of it from that tho xd

[sharp mountain]

I don't want the +1.

[cyan gull]

We already solved this issue, and this was posed as a temporary solution. You can react "" in #roles to have a pingless version of the role.

#1496332086037188679

And there's the announcement

[cedar quest]

I'll double check that the role does give access to all of the correct channels on my first break, but it probably does

[cloud solstice]

Can the spectators chat or can they only look through the glass?

[cyan gull]

I'm fairly certain Gastly just copied the role

[placid briar]

yeah when i clicked on the event spectator role i closed the suggested channels tab that had all the event stuff since i was annoyed it was at the top and for some reason the entire events tab was hidden, had to show all channels just to see this again lmao

[cyan gull]

That's that Discord quality

To this day people don't know #spriting-guidelines exists as a channel

[placid briar]

also thanks for making the role! I now no longer have to be pinged by the daily/weekly events when my event updates like every month

[cyan gull]

But pings are awesome

[torpid osprey]

Yeah @cyan gull loves them pings

[cyan gull]

[torpid osprey]

[cyan gull]

One of these days I'll automod @

[torpid osprey]

You set yourself up too good. How could I not

[cedar quest]

also now having this option means I never have to feel bad for another ping again

[cyan gull]

I'm a heartless monster, I never felt bad about it to begin with

[cedar quest]

Especially when I ping @cyan gull

https://tenor.com/view/trumpet-boy-gif-20096849

[opal wadi]

DOOTDOOT

[cyan gull]

That was my righteous ping revenge

Trumpet

[opal wadi]

DOOTDOOT

[signal nexus]

given everyone seems to say "i love it, but i worry it's not Gen 5 style", it feels like the comments are all meant to be apologies/explanations for not rating it higher

[echo peak]

Seems fine to me honestly

But I'm not the best at constructive feedback, I'm just here as the third wheel

[cyan gull]

It's a good sprite, but its harsher outlines and pose do not do it justice within the universe of a gen 5 sprite

[torpid osprey]

I loved the Aurorus fusions, but I wonder if they're not a little too saturated? I don't remember Aurorus being that blue . Might also be a factor? I'm bad at judging, I like em so they should totally be number 1

[cyan gull]

The colors, pose and outlining make it very sticker-like

[signal nexus]

go through all the entries and write out what you liked about them

[torpid osprey]

I can't , who'll replace my abscence in the Swablu Team. We're already down to 3

[signal nexus]

flippy floppy back and forth between the duties

[cyan gull]

I'm also there

[echo peak]

Swablu Team?

[torpid osprey]

You know. The Staff Helpers.

Also mentioned in the Guidelines etc every Spriter has to read

-# Also mentioned in Paya's announcment in spriter-announcments

[minor garnet]

We have staff helpers?

[echo peak]

I barely read much here to begin with, that's my excuse

[signal nexus]

the swablus are there to people if they galpost too early

[steady pasture]

So basically the staff created a problem, and to solve it, they created a new role
The only benefit now is that new users won't see the events channels unless they search for it, or others tell it?

[signal nexus]

the staff spotted a potential problem and wanted to fix it before it actually became an issue

[steady pasture]

Hmm? Mimes are staff that handle event related announcements yeah?
Why would they need to use the @ everyone? Couldn't they just ping the 2 roles that are specifically for those events?
What was the point in locking the event channels then?

[signal nexus]

no idea. ask here: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1496317877484126238

[steady pasture]

Nvm, i found out

[cyan gull]

The permission for @ing big roles is the same as everyone

[steady pasture]

Turns out discord has a very inflexible system for defining who can @ what role

and turns out, @ everyone is packaged together with that setting for some stupid reason

[cyan gull]

Yes

[steady pasture]

So now the channels are blocked off, Mimes still can't @ the specific roles... so... what did it solve? Channel bloat only?

[cyan gull]

By the way, for future reference, if you have an issue with the server, you can make a #discord-suggestions post as opposed to just bashing for the sake of it with no proposed solution

[cyan gull]

The mimes can ping them in the appropriate channels, and the only people that can see them are the ones interested in events

[steady pasture]

Ah, i see

[minor garnet]

@ everyone

[cyan gull]

I will remove your role

[minor garnet]

Damn

[steady pasture]

Tempted to actually try if i can infact use that @ everyone or @ here as a test... but that would be devasting if it actually worked instead of prevented

[cyan gull]

Well, you'll just get automodded, you aren't a Mime

[steady pasture]

K good

[cyan gull]

We stop its usage daily

[steady pasture]

By spam/scam bots?

[minor garnet]

By me ofc

[steady pasture]

i turned off the deleted messages... thing... but maybe i should enable it and see what u guys deal with daily lol

[cyan gull]

They get autodeleted

[steady pasture]

I can still see them

[cyan gull]

Because you break Discord ToS

[steady pasture]

Shhhh

[minor garnet]

Mega ban

[zenith pivot]

so far today

[steady pasture]

That's why i'm trying to be discreet

[minor garnet]

Yk it might be rough on staff but its worse for us, like having to see a channel be lit up just fo it to be nothing is so rough

[cyan gull]

I should take a scrolling screenshot of the absolute war zone my sidebar is here

[steady pasture]

u could try @ everyone + @ person u want to annoy

Automod will delete the message for u

but i wonder if the person will still get pinged

[minor garnet]

Nah not for me, I am mime jr

[steady pasture]

Ah... right

[minor garnet]

I think pory will find me and cut my head of with a katana if I do that

[cyan gull]

I'd know instantly, yes

And you'd also get muted for it

[minor garnet]

that might be the worst part

[cyan gull]

There's better ways of doing that

[steady pasture]

I'm sure there are, just don't want to give ppl ideas lol

[cyan gull]

How's that for an idea

[zenith pivot]

quick way to get muted though

[steady pasture]

I saw yeah lol

[cyan gull]

I should just automod their name, make everyone ghost them

[steady pasture]

i mean i can see the deleted messages though, so i would still know if i get pinged

[cyan gull]

Because you break ToS

[steady pasture]

[plush vale]

I'm not seeing the event spectator role in roles, tried searching for it too to no avail

[cyan gull]

#roles message has not been updated uet

But the channels and roles function of Discord has it

Also, in #roles you can react

[plush vale]

which you get to how?

ok that worked

[valid fractal]

i was testing too

lol

[plush vale]

yeah found it now, ty

[cyan gull]

np

[cedar quest]

dang how did i get pinged for this?

[signal nexus]

new role shenanigans?

[placid briar]

i got the one to specifically not ping me

bro.....

[minor garnet]

You seem to have the reuring events role

[elder marlin]

Yeah you don’t have the event spectator role which is the no ping one

And you have both event ping roles so you need to remove those two first as well

[placid briar]

how to remove them?

okay i think i got them

[signal nexus]

uhhh where do i share fanart WIPs

[rigid abyss]

uhhh idk but i use concept art to post my fanart

[echo peak]

It doesn't have to be "good," it has to be for fun.

I'll prolly try

[cedar quest]

now you're getting it

Is my Discord weird or is the icon showing both sprites instead of rotating?

[signal nexus]

Oh hey mine's doing the same
I guess i thought it was a mobile thing

It's cute. They're interacting

[sly shuttle]

It’s a new icon

Cabine’s suggestion

[echo peak]

this is better

How does one learn how to sprite

[minor garnet]

Hands

[kindred valley]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/873571372981452830
or the currently-being-updated version https://hackmd.io/@PIF-Staff/SpritingGuidelines

[whole arrow]

I would suggest starting with splicing sprites together in a program made for spriting.

Work at 96x96 pixels and then export your projects at 288 by 288 that is the most important starting step

[iron bridge]

Alright

[whole arrow]

Do you know where to get our sprites from?

Fusiondex.org or https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1094790320891371640

I'll close it early again just for you

[carmine falcon]

Nooo I'm almost done

(Didn't start)

[dense jackal]

Gonna specifically delete my entry because it was entered in the last two hours?

[signal nexus]

less bickering. more drawing

[carmine falcon]

More eeping**

[iron bridge]

Any rules on sharing my sprite i did for an event to my pals

[south meteor]

I made a fan art with the sprites of 7 different people. The name of the file will be so long.

[signal nexus]

you can absolutely share your art with other people

[iron bridge]

Ty

[dense jackal]

-# thank you for this reminder that even in this non-competition there is a naming scheme for submissions

[sly shuttle]

Mine is at least 7 people long

[mighty stump]

Gordo don't give us heart attacks

[oblique heath]

what did gordo do this time?

[rigid abyss]

increase his kill count by 1 spheal

[whole arrow]

You better not.

[cloud solstice]

I'm curious on how gamr will do the collage

[signal nexus]

Elegantly

[agile quest]

hey uhhh is my internet dying or is the event thread gone

[tender plinth]

discord is being weird, I have another server that straight up is inaccessible

[placid briar]

<@&306953740651462656> one got through ^

[iron bridge]

Discord broke right when i was confident about my first ever sprite work

[agile quest]

last message i was able to send before losing the server

[plain wing]

Is it all working now?

[balmy breach]

discord broke for me and i thought the server got hacked and deleted or something like that
thankfully its just discord on the fritz, am still missing a couple of my servers and waiting for them to reappear though

[echo peak]

I still stand by a scrapbook

just a collage of each submission on a page-like format

[dense jackal]

Same
-# given mine will be in a meme format

[mighty stump]

I can't wait to see all the fanart together

[dense jackal]

i feel fine knowing there's <3 hours until the deadline

[cedar quest]

you ❤️ deadline? wowzie!

I'll make more deadlines for you

[mighty stump]

New event that is just thirty different outlines without even saying what they're for, Idk submit something and find out!

[tired jay]

and make sure to put them in #events-schedule right?

[cedar quest]

Nah

[kind fern]

[mighty stump]

Woah that's a random person

[minor roost]

how random

[dense jackal]

ran out of time

can't believe i didn't have time for rim lighting....
I chose a hero piece so i could go OTT with the rim lights and i left them to the end AND RAN OUT OF TIME

-# no but for real i had a lot of fun, great event

[sly shuttle]

Maybe I’ll finish mine by the weekend

[south meteor]

Lots of nice art in the drive. Good work, everyone~

[whole arrow]

I'll have my vengeance

[acoustic saddle]

will we have mergemay

[glass zenith]

believe the prompt will be released at the last minute as usual

[sly shuttle]

Always and 4ever

[echo peak]

I feel dumb for asking what mergemay is but I'm here

[sly shuttle]

Kinda like inktober, smaugust, etc.
A sprite prompt is given for each day of the month. There’s a chart you fill up. Sometimes there’s a collage at the end

[echo peak]

Sounds tempting but I don't know if I could keep up

[rigid abyss]

theres like 2 weeks i think after may ends for ppl who cant keep up to still continue

[cloud solstice]

I wish it was all the prompts revealed at once rather than weekly 😔
Well I say that but I'll probably not manage to last more than a few days anyway

[rigid abyss]

I survived mergemay and spritober by spriting old concepts I keep up with the prompts and get cool ideas sprited

[glass zenith]

I usually got burnout near the end, making one a day or trying to rush the whole week exhausts a bit. And some days you just have irl stuff to do that spriting is the last thing you need

I do believe if the prompt could be released early I could plan things properly

[cyan gull]

Try 2 months

Merjaugust is real

[echo peak]

Aug-menting Month

[cyan gull]

Sept it's actually Fusion Day territory

[echo peak]

I still think Aug-menting Month is creative on my part

Might try and recommend it for an event mayhaps. Though I doubt I'd get super far

[glass zenith]

merjaugust sounds like something else

make a smallgust, you can only sprite tiny fusions

[whole arrow]

Smallgust moment

[signal nexus]

showdown's got some autogens they want sprited

at least if i'm reading the announcement correctly 🤔

[echo peak]

anything with Tangrowth I'll make so... dibs (jk anyone can make them)

then again, Genesect/Feraligatr or vice-versa could be fun too

oh wait it says the head and body lol

[mighty stump]

Wait an unevolved mon

[signal nexus]

Eviolite, i bet

[mighty stump]

I assumed especially with it nerfed in pif that people wouldn't go for that

[south meteor]

Hmmm, Hydreigon/Meloetta and Slowbro/Diancie..

Poor Melo, I haven't given it enough love.

[glass zenith]

there is not 3 slowbro/diancie already since the last time it was posted?

[kindred valley]

they're not in the game yet

but yes

[jade chasm]

what is rhydon xatu doing

[whole arrow]

It's best

[signal nexus]

lore

more lore

[elder marlin]

This is an urban legend; it is, in fact, not nerfed in PIF, and only one mon in the fusion needs to be NFE for the item to work.

[mighty stump]

Wait do I not know how much eviolite gives not in pif, am I crazy

I thought not in pif was 50% and in pif is 25%

[elder marlin]

It’s a myth

It’s 50% in both

The 25% is something many people have said is true all over in the past but actually isn’t

I remember before the showdown was created people would say this all over

But once the showdown was added, frogman himself confirmed the myth false

[mighty stump]

Oh, damn I thought I saw it was that way on a wiki, but I guess that itself was wrong

But anyway... YAY FULL EVIOLITE ON MY LITTLE GUYS

[signal nexus]

lying wikis

[mortal fractal]

There was a period where eviolite was nerfed after it was so overused and then they changed it back, clearly

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-spreading-spreading-misinformation-online-gif-4543841945782036495

[acoustic saddle]

i love xatu, i will do xatu

[acoustic saddle]

why do u have image of mine

[mortal fractal]

It's on the gif search when you search up spreading misinformation

[acoustic saddle]

thats so me

[mortal fractal]

True

[acoustic saddle]

it like 3 month for spritoter from october to end of december lol

[acoustic saddle]

what does jynxking do

[potent sorrel]

If I had to guess
Quiver Dance Sheer Force with goodish defensive typing and stab on Ice moves

[acoustic saddle]

:v jynx can have quiver dance?

[potent sorrel]

In PIF ye

[slender thunder]

I thought this was the case before showdown and they just buffed it to 50% before showdown actually happened
Someone just said that and people believed it then?

I thought people said like
If one side is NFE it will be 25%, if both 50% or something

[signal nexus]

more lore

[elder marlin]

They did say that but it was never true

[oblique heath]

why we discussin sd?

[placid briar]

its more that it was true, but they changed it back to just be regular eviolite

[elder marlin]

It was? I was under the impression that impression it was all a big lie that spread around

[placid briar]

it ws back when Frog just made all the items that did things differently back into the base form

so back when Eviolite prevented evos

etc

since many people were reporting things as bugs

[elder marlin]

Oh I was never around for that era so makes sense

[signal nexus]

showdown announcements made a list of top unsprited fusions. i forwarded them here: #event-general message

i figured some of y'all might find those interesting

[oblique heath]

looks like a nice event, doesnt it?

[waxen echo]

Huh, the bot missed one

<@&306953740651462656> The bot missed a couple

Thank you!

[naive viper]

Another regular chatter

[astral niche]

regular chatter will slowly become less effective with time sadly

[tame egret]

the big issue is just people getting hacked long after they've joined

people fall prey to fake links and scams way too easily

[cloud solstice]

simple fix, regularly purge the role

[naive viper]

We do, after x amount of time inactive, it removes the role

[astral niche]

Oh nice

[glass zenith]

its may 1 on asia rn, wheres is the mergemay chart?

[cedar quest]

honestly I don't even know what time Howls is dropping the chart tomorrow

I hope not too late into the dat

hey, rude bot

I'm having a convo

[cloud solstice]

smh smh by the time she post it it will be the 2nd for some

[cedar quest]

smh smh these 2-bit bots

[glass zenith]

if you not live on this side of the atlantic you play on hard mode
