[silver merlin]

@fallow bough only once a month ?
@crude cedar yes, i think theres 4 contests roughly a month.

[crude cedar]

Ohh only every second is a classic i see

sorry im dumb

and what was meant with a jezza moment ?

[quartz locust]

Hi dumb I'm dad. 🙂

[crude cedar]

Youre not my dad

[crude cedar]

Blocked and reportet to the cops for harrassment

B)

Anyways

what was meant with a jezza moment?

what did he try in the past ?

what are you trying to prevent

[silver merlin]

Hi dumb I'm dad. 🙂
Hi Dad, i'm Katten.

[crude cedar]

when will the polls open ?

[fallow bough]

Probably around the 9th of November, at 8PM GMT.

So just over an hour and a half, to give me time to prepare them as well. Just under an hour and a half until the actual closure of the competition.

[crude cedar]

i see

[fallow bough]

Is that OK? 👀

[crude cedar]

😮 ?

last time i tried making one before its closed i fell asleep and overslept

so i dunno XD

[fallen adder]

Start now. You can do it

[crude cedar]

Okk

[lime latch]

Your time starts now!

[crude cedar]

Done

allready submitted

shroomish alt

[fallow bough]

I have accepted it on the grounds that it gives 4 equally sized and nice looking brackets.

[burnt bane]

lol

[fallow bough]

If it advances past the preliminaries Sjoba is banned.

[burnt bane]

damn isaac with the big threats

[wind topaz]

~~ Sjoba is banned.~~
Fixed

[quartz locust]

I've gotta say, for a contest about a relatively uninteresting design (not ragging on it, I love Shroomish), everyone really brought their best for this! 😄

Simple and unevolved Pokémon continue to provide some of the most interesting bases for contests. 🙂

Like Gligar.

[tall moss]

theres so many good entries

[burnt bane]

lets see how far i get

got some hopes

[tall moss]

why cant i vote for all of them 😔

[burnt bane]

also got put in some tough brackets

my amazing shroom in the ground has to face off against that damned rayquaza

and long neck shroom

[crude cedar]

i just wish people dont vote for my shroomish shroomish

[quartz locust]

Shroom in the ground is honestly really funny. 😂

So is Shroomish alt. 😄

[bleak patio]

I love that there’s shroomish/rayquaza and rayquaza/shroomish

[unreal radish]

you're not suposed to say that it influences votes :)

[lime latch]

Isaac manipulated the votes strong enough already

[fallow bough]

What did I do? 👀

[bleak patio]

I just like that we have both halves

I’m not giving quality judgements on either of them

[lime latch]

#event-general message

[unreal radish]

If it advances past the preliminaries Sjoba is banned.

[fallow bough]

Same with Ralts/Shroomish and Shroomish/Ralts.

[bleak patio]

Unless naming which Pokémon the fusion is is influencing votes

[unreal radish]

ok

[bleak patio]

I only see 1 rants

Ralts

Oh I didn’t scroll high enough

We have 2 kirlia too

But they’re both shroomish/kirlia

Lot of strong sprites

[silver merlin]

Ughhhh

Two of my sprites in one bracket... Nooooo

There goes all chance..

Bruh, all the good sprites are in the bracket where my sprites are in.

[crude cedar]

@silver merlin ;~; i know that feel

[silver merlin]

sad

[rain stump]

both of mine are :/

well actually

so many of them are high quality

pretty hard to avoid

[crude cedar]

My favs this contest are the snorlax one, my gardevoir and the trapinch one

[rain stump]

don't really have a favourite but I think that slaking, gardevoir, venusaur and spiritomb are most likely to place

[crude cedar]

I think rayquazar might place high eventhough i personally do dislike it... Quite alot.. (the tail makes no sense xs) but people tend to vote for rayquazars

The shroomish head rayquazar body i mean

[noble fjord]

my favorite is the diglett one

[rain stump]

yes

it is quite funne

[burnt bane]

my favorite is the diglett one

[lime latch]

The shroomish head rayquazar body i mean
@crude cedar i like the shroomish body more

[twilit ibex]

👀

[lime latch]

Rayquaza body looks like a recolour with a shroomish on its tail

[twilit ibex]

[teal bone]

I really don’t like any of these except the Gardevoir and Mawile. They just look bad to me

[burnt bane]

Why are you hating on my diglett mmmm

[silver merlin]

Ughhhh
Two of my sprites in one bracket... Nooooo
There goes all chance..
Bruh, all the good sprites are in the bracket where my sprites are in. :sadbro:
Sad moment

[quartz locust]

Rayquaza body looks like a recolour with a shroomish on its tail
Oh come on, that's ridiculous.

My favs this contest are... my gardevoir
That's very modest. 😂

We're not meant to be talking about individual sprites at this stage anyway. 😦

[burnt bane]

Unless its my diglett huehue

[quartz locust]

Shroom. 🍄

[burnt bane]

Y e s

If it doesnt get to the semi finals

We riot

[lime latch]

Oh come on, that's ridiculous.
I know you made it, but that doesnt mean you have to be rude. D: Many Legendaries have that problem

[quartz locust]

That's not rude, what's rude is saying someone did a recolour when they clearly didn't.

[rain stump]

Oh come on, that's ridiculous.
agreed

[burnt bane]

That's not rude, what's rude is saying someone did a recolour when they clearly didn't.
completely agree with this

[crude cedar]

That's very modest. 😂
Im honest and i like those three. Where one happens to be my own and the other two. I dont know from whom.

I wouldn't say its a recolour > That's not rude, what's rude is saying someone did a recolour when they clearly didn't.
But its kimda lacking :/ and the tail tip is super weird and makes no sense to me. Its not a bad sprite. In no way. But i think it wouldve had more potential

[quartz locust]

I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm really happy with it, we're not meant to be shitting on contest sprites when people can still vote. 😦

I could frankly sprite the Mona Lisa (and remember, I've done that before) and people would still have something to be pissy about. 😢

[dusk schooner]

Which would not be out of character in the world of art. But this type of discussion is best left until after to contest

[clear linden]

Mainly its just really cool that we got 36 new sprites for shroomish

[dusk schooner]

Indeed, Shroomish gets to be apart of the fusion abomination club now

[quartz locust]

I agree, and more often than not it's the Pokémon you don't expect (like Shroomish) that end up having really fun fusions. 🙂

[weary pagoda]

More contests like this one mean more custom sprites to every Pokemons

[tall moss]

yeah shroomish was a fantastic choice, it seems everyone had a blast, seeing how many entries there are 😄 and again theres a ton of amazing entries

i hope we get more weird classics like this

esp first or middle evos, those need more love

[quartz locust]

Kiwi you're so wholesome and that makes me happy. 🙂

[thorn saffron]

yeah the contests should be for the pokemon least likely to get fusions by individuals

[crude cedar]

>> compsub

**Poll Question**

How often should I base Classic Competitions off of Pokémon with the least sprites?

**Anonymous**

True

​

Final Results of the Poll (Single Choice):
:regional_indicator_a: Every Classic - 8 Votes
:regional_indicator_b: Every other Classic - 37 Votes
:regional_indicator_c: Less often - 2 Votes
:regional_indicator_d: Never again please - 1 Votes

React with ❔ to get info. It is not a vote option.

[fallow bough]

Just a reminder that I did actually hold a poll on this. 😅

[quartz locust]

I just want to reiterate something that was touched upon earlier, but in slightly more formal terms. Please do not talk about the sprites involved in the contests while they can be voted on, this can encourage a herd mentality and defeats the premise of votes being anonymous. Only talk about them after they don't get through to the next round or (if they get through to the final round) when the contest is over. 🙂

[quartz locust]

I'm shocked we didn't have a message like that pinned already. 😮

[umbral rune]

no one reads pinned comments anyways

[unreal radish]

I do there's some funny stuff sometimes

[fallow bough]

A three way tie? Really?
Why do you people do these things to my lovely bracket sizes?

There's supposed to be eight in the semifinals and there are instead twelve.

[noble fjord]

cause they love you

[haughty laurel]

Spreading the love around

[burnt bane]

@fallow bough whats the current finals looking like?

[fallow bough]

Stan when he can't see his sprite in the semifinals: panic

[tall moss]

3 big bois and one skinny

[burnt bane]

Stan when he can't see his sprite in the semifinals: panic
@fallow bough you god damn right

WHERE IS MY DIGLETT GOD DAMN IT

4 votes???

Damn yall

[fallow bough]

I mean, your Diglett was the cutoff for not getting into the semifinals from that bracket.

So technically it was close.

[burnt bane]

I mean, your Diglett was the cutoff for not getting into the semifinals from that bracket.
Damn it

🤏

[weary pagoda]

I made the best sprite. I'm totally gonna win

[tall moss]

pspst isaac can i show off my disqualified one now that its been double-disqualified? 👀

[fallow bough]

I didn't intentionally disqualify it, it was just impossible for me to include it.

[tall moss]

its ok no worries :y

[burnt bane]

Show us kiwi

[tall moss]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/508801909252161548/774438287875244032/Untitled1.gif i made a gif that has an illegal amount of half pixels 😔

[burnt bane]

Ohno

He walks

Also kiwi, 2 entries already for the finals aye

[tall moss]

i wouldve felt a little bad if all my entries made it to the finals tbh 😂

[burnt bane]

Hah

[dull crater]

Oh hey, I voted for 3/4 of the finalists.

[burnt bane]

Which was the one you didn't vote for

[fallow bough]

That would be vote revealing. 👀

And I'd have to smite someone for that.

[burnt bane]

Oof

Smite yourself huehue

[rain stump]

I got past the first vote :)

[crude cedar]

i voted

for

some

which

arent

mine

so

[wind topaz]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/508801909252161548/774438287875244032/Untitled1.gif i made a gif that has an illegal amount of half pixels 😔
@tall moss https://youtu.be/ih9zBLDr_ro

[rain stump]

I didn't even vote at all, I don't understand the point you're trying to get across sjoba

[wicked onyx]

@tall moss https://youtu.be/ih9zBLDr_ro
@wind topaz https://kapwi.ng/c/fkdTdD7B

[tall moss]

omg

[fallow bough]

Actually I probably shouldn't pin that here. 👀

[tall moss]

😂

[wicked onyx]

lmaoooooooo

[silver merlin]

Wow look at all of my sprites who got into the semis

[rain stump]

ok

[zenith matrix]

@tall moss proper pixel scale

[burnt bane]

He moves

[quartz locust]

This is already a fantastic semi and a really solid final group as well, this contest's been a lot of fun. 😄

Kiwi is the new Mammuth. 🙂

And to be honest I prefer Kiwi's sprites.

[silver merlin]

Yes i prefer Kiwi's sprtites too.

[burnt bane]

huehue

[silver merlin]

huehuehuehuehuehuehue

[burnt bane]

no

huehue is the only acceptable huehue

[silver merlin]

huehue

[burnt bane]

cant add any more huehue's

[silver merlin]

I didnt know there were rules for huehue. 👀

[burnt bane]

there werent

untill you came with more huehue's

that was when the rules came 👀

[silver merlin]

The huehue rules. 👀

[burnt bane]

w..wait

[silver merlin]

wrong channel?

[burnt bane]

fuck

[silver merlin]

😂

Now he will get a ghost ping.

[burnt bane]

whoops

[clear linden]

https://tenor.com/view/hue-gif-4928285

[crude cedar]

Kiwi is the new Mammuth. 🙂
@quartz locust in all honesty. Mammuth was the complete opposite. Both are great but dont say such baseless stuff.... Mammuth was a true God among spriters

[quartz locust]

It's not baseless when Kiwi is regularly getting sprites in the final. 😉

[silver merlin]

Kiwi's awsome, Mammuth's Awsome, everyone is awsome!!! >:0000000

Learn it!!!

[tall moss]

you guys are way too nice ;v;

[burnt bane]

you taught us that huehue

[tall moss]

@zenith matrix tysm!!

[zenith matrix]

literally just putting it in piskel with the proper scale....

[crude cedar]

It's not baseless when Kiwi is regularly getting sprites in the final. 😉
Kiwi is amazing and thats deserved. But the key difference is. Their sprite style. Effort per sprite ratio and details. Amd mammuth has won like 100 contests allready

[outer prism]

Mammuth has won tons cause killing sprites with detail gets you kids' votes.

Especially on reddit

[crude cedar]

Mammuth put two days of work into almost every of his sprites

[outer prism]

I was never one for cramming tons of detail in a box

[crude cedar]

There was so much work and effort out in

[outer prism]

to much, imo

[crude cedar]

Kiwi is also amazing. But shes pumping out ten sprites a day. And the difference is visible

Not to say that kiwis sprites are bad. Not even close. They are amazing. But nothing compared to some from mammuth

[outer prism]

Last batch I did was 3 in one evening

[zenith matrix]

feel like mammuths doings arent valued properly, like em or not, it was a lot of effort

[crude cedar]

Indeed

People just hate on him

But ill gladly argue he put more work into each and every sprite then most people flamming him

[outer prism]

I don't hate on him, I just think his sprites are too much of a good thing to such an extent it doesn't seem as good anymore

[zenith matrix]

lets rest it at: u prefer simplicism more

[outer prism]

Some of his sprites are so crowded, so painstakingly desperate to get detail into a limmited canvas.

Which I think is a waste

[quartz locust]

I agree with Nick; Mammuth's are absolute marvels on a visual scale for sure, but they did not match the Pokémon style even slightly. 😅

Kiwi's do and they do it well. 😄

[crude cedar]

Id... Disagree... Sure they dont fit the "pokemon" style. But every single spriter here doesnt nail that style 100%

[quartz locust]

Most don't even try.

[burnt bane]

i do

[outer prism]

I don't prefer simplicism as much as I prefer artists who are aware of the space they work with

[crude cedar]

So id say that it doesnt fit the pokemon style isnt a valid argument when you could say that about every single person here

[outer prism]

Some ideas simply don't fit in a 96x96 canvas

[crude cedar]

And mammuth was able to fit them all in 96x96

Thats skill barely anyone has on this server

[outer prism]

Being able to, doesn't mean they should've

[quartz locust]

i do
@burnt bane You don't try, you succeed spectacularly.

[outer prism]

I'm literally saying its not really a skill.

[quartz locust]

Being able to, doesn't mean they should've
Jurassic Park quote. 😉

[burnt bane]

now to be fair

[crude cedar]

It is a skill though

[burnt bane]

it aint every sprite he made

[crude cedar]

Effort and skill and lots of work

[burnt bane]

a few, yeah a tad too clustered

[quartz locust]

The Weezing / Rayquaza and Mega Torterra are my favourites of Mammuth's. 😄

[outer prism]

not every one, but some of them suffer from it

[burnt bane]

but there are some hella clean ones still

[quartz locust]

Albeit the first was a collab, but they're amazing sprites nonetheless. 🙂

It's just I personally vote on matching the Pokémon style whilst also being a creative concept. Some sprites this contest have pulled it off spectacularly, though I won't go into detail. 😄

[outer prism]

I can appreciate the art. It's just a shame that some of them are murdered by ambition

[fallow bough]

And mammuth was able to fit them all in 96x96
@crude cedar I mean, he went outside the boundaries a few times.

[quartz locust]

Oh yeah, I remember the 100x100 rule. 😮

[outer prism]

I have 3 sprites which tickle the boundaries so far.

perhaps a couple more

[crude cedar]

Mammuth is to this point. In my opinion. The number 1 of spriters that have been on this server

Many may disagree

But i think more people will agree

[outer prism]

You're clearly an unwavering fanboy Sjoba, that much is clear

[burnt bane]

id say thats fair, to some degree

[fallow bough]

The 100x100 rule was basically me being nice to mammuth. I should probably revert it to a "it must be within 96x96" rule.

[burnt bane]

if we wanted actual pokemon-style sprites, id say it wouldnt be nr1

[quartz locust]

You should. 🙂

[burnt bane]

but he made hella great designs

[quartz locust]

Who's nr1? 😮

[crude cedar]

And youre clearly nitpicking about him nick

[burnt bane]

Who's nr1? 😮
i am duh

[outer prism]

Sure I am, Sjoba. Cause other opinions than yours can't exist right?

I used to be nr1. But my throne has been split up and divided long ago, hahaha

[crude cedar]

Nah they can very well exist

[fallow bough]

Yeah I agree with both Sjoba and Stan here. If I was going to hire someone to sprite stuff for me, that someone would be mammuth if I could get him. The man's fantastic.
I miss him greatly.

[crude cedar]

But youre literally grasping for arguments left and right that seem to change at times

[burnt bane]

Yeah I agree with both Sjoba and Stan here. If I was going to hire someone to sprite stuff for me, that someone would be mammuth if I could get him. The man's fantastic.
I miss him greatly.
unless i wanted fakemons or anything, in the actual pokemon design

[outer prism]

I'm airing my clearly unpopular opinion on the matter

Doesn't mean my opinion changes

[quartz locust]

I really miss what Mammuth had to offer in terms of visual splendour. 😦

[burnt bane]

thats when i would go to someone like nick, he nails the pokemon style quite well

[quartz locust]

However, a lot of spriters appeal to me more, including Stan, Cali, Nick and Kiwi. ❤️

[burnt bane]

I really miss what Mammuth had to offer in terms of visual splendour. 😦
thats very much true

[quartz locust]

Because they nail that Pokémon style. 😄

[burnt bane]

However, a lot of spriters appeal to me more, including Stan, Cali, Nick and Kiwi. ❤️
huehue

also blaq, some of yours are also amazing my mans

[crude cedar]

Im sad mammuth doesnt even come online on discord anymore xc

[outer prism]

You go to mammuth for extravagant firework displays

[fallow bough]

Oh I'm not going to pretend there aren't fantastic spriters here still. Genuinely the levels that have been reached by you people are amazing.

[outer prism]

Is a good comparison, I'd say

[burnt bane]

You go to mammuth for extravagant firework displays
not always tho

check out all of his sprites nick

there are some clean ones

[quartz locust]

His unevolved ones are fantastic. 😄

[outer prism]

I know

[burnt bane]

that arent a detailed design mess

[steady hound]

Kind of late to this party, but I'd say making an effective design is better than a hyper detailed one. There is beauty in simplicity sometimes.

[quartz locust]

I agree for sure. 😄

[burnt bane]

also your sprites are hard to judge based on design and details nick

[steady hound]

But I'm a fan of basically every sprite I've seen in here from everyone, so...

[outer prism]

Are they?

[burnt bane]

seeing as you always lose before misty so you rarely make final stages lol

[outer prism]

w>

[burnt bane]

lately at least

[zenith matrix]

imo its about the range of quality and style mammuth could reach
its without question that he was able to also plainly work in the pkmn style, but who could say that they are able to go beyond that? not many

[quartz locust]

Speaking of simplicity Vs detail... 😉

[steady hound]

... I would love Gen 1 Garchomp.

[burnt bane]

clean af

[crude cedar]

This one is 100/10

[quartz locust]

imo its about the range of quality and style mammuth could reach
its without question that he was able to also plainly work in the pkmn style, but who could say that they are able to go beyond that? not many
I think this is a bit of a misnomer, actually. It wasn't beyond, it was a different style. It takes skill to learn like the Pokémon style, but different skills. 😦

[burnt bane]

also clean af

[quartz locust]

I love that one so much. ❤️

[burnt bane]

without that many details

[zenith matrix]

pull up the lugia

[burnt bane]

lugia and ?

[quartz locust]

Even those though raise the classic size problem. 😮

[burnt bane]

this one lol?

[zenith matrix]

[burnt bane]

oooh

[crude cedar]

Epic

[outer prism]

I don't know what my best one is

[burnt bane]

you know who i miss?

[zenith matrix]

Sourdeer

[burnt bane]

geno

[outer prism]

Yeah, I miss Geno too

[burnt bane]

he didnt really go to the pkmn style

but his designs were fun

[quartz locust]

Geno has some really nice sprites too, I miss him. 😢

[outer prism]

Ironically, he left cause of mammuth

[quartz locust]

Ooh actually, one other user I'm really liking right now is Universez. Some amazing sprites. 😄

I thought he left because of Knuckles. 😮

[outer prism]

also mammuth. He lost motivation to sprite cause of mammuth's win streak

then left the server cause of knuckles

[burnt bane]

Ooh actually, one other user I'm really liking right now is Universez. Some amazing sprites. 😄
yeah uni is another og with great sprites

always found his style a tad odd, but he has some really fun designs

[quartz locust]

Oh I thought he was new, wow. 😅

[burnt bane]

hahaha nooo

[outer prism]

Geno and me both stopped applying sprites to the contests cause 'what's the point if mammuth's there'

[steady hound]

I am learning a lot about this server right now.

hahahaha nooo

[outer prism]

I've been here a while and a half

[quartz locust]

Meanwhile I've only been here 7 months and that feels like an eternity in and of itself. 😮

[burnt bane]

someone who would also be amazing if they didnt use p i l l o w s h a d i n g

jamo

[quartz locust]

Couldn't agree more. 😄

[steady hound]

someone who would also be amazing if they didnt use p i l l o w s h a d i n g
This is my inexperience showing, but huh? I've never heard of that.

[quartz locust]

I know someone who knew Mammuth pre-IF and he said he used to use pillow shading a lot (it's still evident in some sprites), but if Jamo can remove it then he's up there with the best. 😄

[burnt bane]

hold on

now jamo did improve it in his latest ones

this one shows it well id say

check his legs

[quartz locust]

Oh for sure, and they were great sprites. 🙂

[burnt bane]

it makes it look rubbery or something

[crude cedar]

I thought he left because of Knuckles. 😮
Understandable

[burnt bane]

another, new one, that has some really good sprites

our poli-goddess herself

[quartz locust]

SilverTotodile? 😉

[burnt bane]

sayumi

i love her poli sprites

[quartz locust]

Sayumi too, how could I forget! 😄

[steady hound]

See, that just looks like carapace to me, the Scyther legs.

[burnt bane]

i want her to make my poli line

[quartz locust]

Oh for sure, she'd do a great job of them! 🙂

[crude cedar]

Milchik is amazing tbh

My number 2 best spriter of all time

[burnt bane]

lemme check their latest ones

[quartz locust]

Milchik is fantastic too, I don't see him posting many sprites these days but he's great. 😄

I really love how much Katten has developed since May as well. Leaps and bounds in 6 months. 🙂

[burnt bane]

they have good sprites, but dont think they are insanely good

still really well ofc

[outer prism]

You should see some of the crud I did when I began scratch spriting

[steady hound]

Just an idea- what if the veteran spriters hosted a 'class' to help show off various techniques for the new guys to learn?

[quartz locust]

Oh yeah Katten's still got some room to develop, but at that trajectory in a few years he could be one of the absolute best. 😃

[outer prism]

I stopped spriting for like four years during secondary school. 😂

[outer prism]

Ah, persian/fearow was a chore

[quartz locust]

Oh that was you? Yeah that's a stunning sprite. 😄

[zenith matrix]

[burnt bane]

[outer prism]

The thing with the eggshell blindfold?

[burnt bane]

[steady hound]

I am legally obligated to love all Fossil pokemon and Dunsparce fusions, so those are my picks.

[crude cedar]

[quartz locust]

Flareon / Unown is amazing too! 🙂

[zenith matrix]

at a glance nothing close to 80

[crude cedar]

What do you guys think is my best work :3c?

[burnt bane]

darkrai/arbok blaq

[outer prism]

[quartz locust]

So glad you liked it! I was really happy with how that one turned out. 😄

[crude cedar]

[burnt bane]

[crude cedar]

@burnt bane 💕

[burnt bane]

your reuniclus gardevoir is really neat

basically all of your gardevoirs tbh

[crude cedar]

Srsly? I personally dislike that one compared to my other voirs

[burnt bane]

nooo i like how simple and clean it is

[zenith matrix]

im the biggest fan of that vaporeon groudon
a shame that didnt got on the podium....expected it to

[burnt bane]

and i love the dress

a shame that didnt got on the podium....expected it to
same

[quartz locust]

im the biggest fan of that vaporeon groudon
I think my favourite of Sjoba's might just be Shroomish / Gardevoir, it's really cool. Vaporeon / Gardevoir is one of my least favourites but still very cool. 😄

[burnt bane]

id like to throw my coin in the pod too
👀

doublade lapras comes to mind

[crude cedar]

@zenith matrix am a big fan of your roserade deoxys

[burnt bane]

rayquaza arceus jeeezz

[outer prism]

@crude cedar Krookodile/Aerodactyl is my fav

[burnt bane]

[outer prism]

[burnt bane]

[zenith matrix]

doublade lapras comes to mind

Thanks!! that damn thing died instantly lol

[zenith matrix]

@crude cedar 🤔 🤨 k... unexpected

[burnt bane]

@burnt bane that just full a flaws...dunno why i left the red ray bits in there
nah dont hate on your sprites tene, that one looks absolutely goddly

[crude cedar]

Why unexpected?

[zenith matrix]

i dont hate on it, its just an oversight 🤷‍♂️

its unconventional to some extend id say

[outer prism]

@burnt bane that Poliwag/Oddish is amazing

[burnt bane]

that Poliwag/Oddish is amazing
that simple small thing huh

[outer prism]

I do think so

A lot of potential for the evolutions too

[zenith matrix]

ye its weird, more often than not ppl tend to like ones work which given artist dont particulary like

[quartz locust]

Stan I love your Zapdos / Leafeon, Mimikyu / Ambipom, Spiritomb / Klefki, Marowak / Arcanine (sandy boi), Ampharos / Golduck, Poliwah / Oddish, Beedrill / Venusaur, Persian / Dugtrio and Voltorb / Krabby the most. Literally can't pick. 😄

[burnt bane]

damn those last 3

oldies

[outer prism]

blinks

[burnt bane]

i remember that beesaur lol

[outer prism]

wait

how do I just have 5 pages of stuff in the gallery

[burnt bane]

lol

Stan I love your Zapdos / Leafeon, Mimikyu / Ambipom, Spiritomb / Klefki, Marowak / Arcanine (sandy boi), Ampharos / Golduck, Poliwah / Oddish, Beedrill / Venusaur, Persian / Dugtrio and Voltorb / Krabby the most. Literally can't pick. 😄
also i was expecting some others lol

[quartz locust]

I cut the list in half. 😛

[burnt bane]

BLAQ

WHERE IS SHROOMISH DIGLETT ON THAT LIST HUH

[quartz locust]

Shroom is always in our hearts. Doesn't need to be said. ❤️

[burnt bane]

now its time for some self love

instead of being kiwi and spreading love to others

let me know your favorite sprite you made yourself huh

[quartz locust]

Tene I love Porygon-Z / Golurk (honestly all your Porygon-Z fusions), Rotom x2, Roserade / Deoxys (Rosemon), Doublade / Lapras, Gliscor / Mantine and Dragonair / Ariados. 😄

[steady hound]

I haven't made enough to have a personal favorite for myself.

[quartz locust]

My favourite sprite of mine is either Exeggutor / Meganium, Smeargle / Gengar or Ho-oh / Blaziken. 🙂

[burnt bane]

yeah that exeggutor meganium was insane

[burnt bane]

yeah sorry, not a fan of ho oh

[quartz locust]

Super proud of these guys to this day. ❤️

Into the bin goes Stan.

[burnt bane]

but thats purely bc i absolutely hate stuff like that

so it aint anything personal

[crude cedar]

Same

[burnt bane]

i just want pokemon fusions and not... stuff like this hahaha

[steady hound]

First time I've seen a Blazeken I've actually liked.

[quartz locust]

Oh no I get that completely, it was controversial at the time as well. 😂

[burnt bane]

the sprite is well made

[quartz locust]

First time I've seen a Blazeken I've actually liked.
Into the bin goes Beard.

It may or may not be my favourite Pokémon and half of my username. 😛

[steady hound]

That's fair. I don't like most of the starters, frankly, I just found that one in particular sort of bland back in the day. But that's neither relevant to the conversation or an interesting story.

[quartz locust]

Technically none of this is relevant to contests anymore, we should have jumped to #spriter-general like 10 minutes ago.

[steady hound]

You aren't wrong.

[tall moss]

can i just say, i absolutely love the sheer amount of positivity and support going around this channel today, you all are amazing <333

[zenith matrix]

except towards mammuth

[crude cedar]

which is saddening :c

[tall moss]

i wish i could meet this legendary character 👀

theres so much old lore to this server

someone needs to give me a history lesson

[mild furnace]

I think the moment a titan fell, another one took its place. That's just the way things are.

[burnt bane]

I wish for that to come true, as thatd mean he'd come back

Remember the times when chippy was considered the absolute best mod

[zenith matrix]

no

[burnt bane]

🙏

[zenith matrix]

that must have been before me

[burnt bane]

I think

Back then we had chippy and qt314, dont think anyone else

Could be 1 more

[zenith matrix]

wasnt the order qt -> frogman & chippy -> isaac -> knuckles -> bla & tomate?

[burnt bane]

Could be

[tall moss]

now all the mods are best mod tho 😔 srsly theyre all lovely

[burnt bane]

Ah they joined around the same time

[tall moss]

these peeps are pretty quiet nowadays, i guess they got busy and needed new mods to take over

[burnt bane]

These peeps

Reminder that frogman is the dev lol

[tall moss]

hes still a person 😂

[tall moss]

also 🤔 to go back to talkin about contest stuff, i was thinking, since some people would prefer to have more days to make their entries, could contests possibly overlap? as in, submissions open for one contests as the same time as the voting period stars for the previous one, so we would essentially always have one contest open for submissions, and submissions would be open for 7 days 👀

[crude cedar]

isaac without a doubt nr.1 mod B)

[silver merlin]

huehue

[lime latch]

these peeps are pretty quiet nowadays, i guess they got busy and needed new mods to take over

Thats why we got the new peeps Blaquaza and Tomate

[silver merlin]

I really love how much Katten has developed since May as well. Leaps and bounds in 6 months. 🙂
I dont love to look back at my old sprite... He haunts me.. 👀

[lime latch]

Remember when Katten was Pog? That were some good times

[silver merlin]

When was that?

[urban knot]

@silver merlin

[lime latch]

Deino still believes in you little pogger

[silver merlin]

Respect. 🙏

[mild furnace]

Let me see what my oldest fusion sprite was....

I wanna look at how much I have improved...

[silver merlin]

Oh god no.

[mild furnace]

JESUS F PUT IT BACK IN HELL WHERE IT BELONGS

Jk I think it's better than I could've done back then

Yeah.... This was questionable...

Although I still don't understand what was so bad about it...

[fallow bough]

@tall moss contests usually overlap, but I decided not to stagger contests right now since it would result in a Classic based on the least sprited Pokémon right before the new sprite packs came out, so about as inaccurate as possible.
I asked a while ago if everyone was fine with four days and everyone who responded pretty much just said yes. I'm personally not against longer submission times though.

isaac without a doubt nr.1 mod B)
@crude cedar this feels like sarcasm.

[tall moss]

oh my bad then :y

[fallow bough]

I mean it would work well for a new schedule involving Tene's new program for classics if there were seven days for submission.

I just don't know if people want that many days.

[tall moss]

mybe do a poll for that

[silver merlin]

5-4ish days seems good to me. 🤔

[tall moss]

it could vary per contest too, a shroomish contest probably doesnt need a super long submission period but complex pokemon might benefit 🤔

although a longer submission period doesnt seem to do much past a certain point, no one has made an entry for the funny contest in a while

[iron bay]

bbbb brain is gonna go into panic mode because time for the kiwi contest is running out and I still have ideas I want to make aAAA

[tall moss]

gogogo get spritin >8y

[fallow bough]

5-4ish days seems good to me. 🤔
@silver merlin is that subtraction?

[mild furnace]

*4-5 I think they meant

[tall moss]

-1 days

[fallow bough]

although a longer submission period doesnt seem to do much past a certain point, no one has made an entry for the funny contest in a while
@tall moss I'm not entirely sure why that is. I do mention and remind people of it, but still there's very little. I'm wondering if it's something inherently to do with sponsored competitions in general.

[tall moss]

enough people entered to nab all the prizes at least so its aite :y

25 individual sprites

[silver merlin]

*4-5 I think they meant
Right! ^^

[mild furnace]

4 days seems like a lot of time to wait if you submit all three sprites in the first 1-2 days, but otherwise 4 or 5 days is adequate for classic competitions.

[umbral rune]

I voted for ||[REDACTED]||, and I hope that ||[REDACTED]|| wins!

[tall moss]

4 chonks and 2 long bois 🤔

[fallow bough]

I voted for ||[REDACTED]||, and I hope that ||[REDACTED]|| wins!
Technically nothing about this comment is a lie and I hate it.

[clear linden]

wait

[umbral rune]

_ _

[fallen adder]

I voted B4

[clear linden]

how is venusaur in the final when it wasn't in the semifinal

[umbral rune]

it automatically moved to the finals from the first round

[clear linden]

ah

[burnt bane]

We have all the big boys

C1 is my pick, everyone should vote for it

[fallow bough]

Not very often that there's only heads in the finals. No bodies whatsoever.

[burnt bane]

They look like they have bodies tho?

I'd argue shroomish bodies look more like just heads

[fallen adder]

Should have finished my fusion and swept the votes with the opposite

[quartz locust]

I think this contest favours heads over bodies because Shroomish's body is so very uninteresting. 😂

I was tempted to do some kind of Octillery / Shroomish based on an Octoomba, but I might do that for the joke contest instead. 🙂

I will say I really loved the concept behind the Shroomish / Porygon-Z entry, I thought it was really clever. 😄

[burnt bane]

Also ay blaq

Welcome to the finals

Now to see how far we make it

[quartz locust]

Why thank you my friend, I'll be honest I was worried I wouldn't get in. It's been a while since I made a final. 😅

[burnt bane]

Let's see we got you and the magnezone from the semi

What else was there

[quartz locust]

I really like every sprite in this final, by the way. It's a really tough one to decide on. 😢

[burnt bane]

I'd say the only ones that would have also been able to make it where gardevoir and mawile

[quartz locust]

I think Slaking, Bulbasaur and Reuniclus were all pretty good too, I can't see the votes though which is annoying. 😦

[tall moss]

the mawile one is so good, its a super neat design

[burnt bane]

Really spread wow

[wind topaz]

Yay! I'm in finals once more!

[quartz locust]

Just goes to show how good of a batch it was, everyone did great. 😄

Did you do Magnezone, Knuckles? 🙂

[wind topaz]

Yes

@fallow bough You forgot to post the semifinals results

[quartz locust]

He just did. 😉

[fallow bough]

N-no I didn't.

[quartz locust]

Oh, in the channel. 😅

[fallow bough]

It's not up to me when the bot refreshes.

[wind topaz]

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurre

[fallow bough]

But it's not. 👀

[crude cedar]

@crude cedar this feels like sarcasm. :blurryeyes:
@fallow bough its not sarcasm

[agile storm]

Can you say what you voted if the sprite didn't make it into the finals?

[umbral rune]

I believe so

[fallow bough]

Yeah, you can talk about sprites once they're out of the running.

[mild furnace]

I voted for all my sprites

And I don't know whether to feel bad about it or evil, so I'll do both

[noble fjord]

[umbral rune]

I voted for all my sprites
@mild furnace if it makes you feel better, just know that you aren't the only one

[rain stump]

certainly not

I wasn't even expecting to get past the first round but the fact I did is pretty cool

[crude cedar]

I voted for my gardevoir

And the trapinch

And one very chonky boi in the finals

[unreal radish]

they're all chonky :D

[silver merlin]

I voted for a fisk.

:wheeze:

[weary pagoda]

I voted for one of them

[quartz locust]

I voted for one of them
You're banned. 😛

[burnt bane]

I've voted for all

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-banned-gif-8540509

[silver merlin]

I have voted for a sprite.

[rain stump]

very cool

[silver merlin]

Yes, huehue

[weary pagoda]

AAAAAAAAA

[burnt bane]

Poll channel is gone 👀

[umbral rune]

👀

knuckles got first?

[mild furnace]

Cool.

[umbral rune]

I never thought I would see this day

[burnt bane]

Yaaay I got second

[mild furnace]

Congrats to the winners!

[burnt bane]

Now if we ban knuckles

I've won

[wind topaz]

YEAH

I WON

[tall moss]

@wind topaz @burnt bane @haughty laurel congrats guys!! you all did amazing sprites! 😄

[haughty laurel]

Chunky boi 3rd !

[naive summit]

dont take this the wrong way, but knuckles can make some great sprites when he puts effort into em

had a great concept tbh

[tall moss]

i voted for you knux

[naive summit]

honestly there was a solid lineup in general this contest

hope that means there might be more unevolved ones in the future

[tall moss]

i hope so too

[burnt bane]

But damn kiwi, you didnt got in huh..

Was certain you might get in with either of the 2

[wind topaz]

dont take this the wrong way, but knuckles can make some great sprites when he puts effort into em
@naive summit Like I said before, I typically don’t have the motivation to work on making a really good sprite with a bunch of custom parts

[naive summit]

thats fair tbh

motivation is hard to come by sometimes

read: a lot of times

[burnt bane]

Avian themed👀

[lime latch]

Why Birds :/

[burnt bane]

Can any of the mods show us the vote results?

[naive summit]

birds 👀

[burnt bane]

GASP 2 BIRDS 1 STONE... make my starter and submit it huehue

[naive summit]

someone make a pory2/psyduck rubber ducky

[unreal radish]

well done boys :D

[weary pagoda]

Isaac : makes an avian contest
The sprite I did today :

[lime latch]

There are already enough Birds, its not really a rare theme

[naive summit]

or psyduck/pory2 ig

[weary pagoda]

Huehue

[naive summit]

also not every theme is gonna be rare tbf

[tall moss]

i JUST did a custom moltres/flygon too 😔

[wind topaz]

@fallen adder So, dinosaurs should count because they’re just prehistoric birds, right?

[naive summit]

so long as it looks like a bird

[burnt bane]

Damn kiwi, your torterra which was considered the best entry when the contest became

[fallen adder]

Dude I haven't even read about that contest. Ask Isaac 👀

[burnt bane]

And inspired a lot of them

Got the least votes

Sometimes voting results are odd af

[fallen adder]

He was out so I posted the link for him

[wind topaz]

@fallow bough

@fallen adder So, dinosaurs should count because they’re just prehistoric birds, right?

[unreal radish]

:/

[naive summit]

I actually made two shroomish sprites, just didn't submit them to contest since they were kinda lazy oops

[burnt bane]

So it only counts if we make fusions that look like birds?

[tall moss]

these finals are super surprizing 👀 in the first round, venusaur had way more votes than the magnezone, in the finals its almost flipped

interesting

[mild furnace]

Wow. I have no ideas.

Brain = Empty

[burnt bane]

What makes something a bird tho

Is it the wings

Or the beak

[mild furnace]

Nope

[burnt bane]

Or feathers

[mild furnace]

Beak

Beak

[burnt bane]

[wind topaz]

I think they mean the body has to clearly be a bird, so things like that Articuno/Rapidash don’t count

[naive summit]

I doubt its specifically body type

[weary pagoda]

Really ? That's a shame

[naive summit]

cuz that articuno/rapidash is pretty bird like

[burnt bane]

Then would it count tho

Cause it has the shape

But no beak

[fallen adder]

It has wings

[weary pagoda]

I think they mean the body has to clearly be a bird, so things like that Articuno/Rapidash don’t count
@fallow bough Would that count ?

[mild furnace]

Hey! Guess I made this emote just in time!

[fallen adder]

but idk 👀

[mild furnace]

[wind topaz]

[mild furnace]

Birb time baby

[wind topaz]

Time to submit all of my Natus

[unreal radish]

I planed on doing an bird like sprite anyway ||I won't be able to do it anyway||

[mild furnace]

mrvoid how is your pfp a png

[wind topaz]

Funny joke

Yes this is funny joke

[unreal radish]

[naive summit]

I think I have a small handful of bird fusions but not many, maybe I'll think of something for the contest..

this is probs my best bird so far lmao

[mild furnace]

I will do a penguin, I don't quite know the fusion though

[clear linden]

I might try something for the avian comp but birds definitely are my weak point for sprites

[naive summit]

feathers are hard

[mild furnace]

Same

[unreal radish]

piplup + something pengu

[clear linden]

though this gives an excuse to work on that hard difficulty

[weary pagoda]

It looks nice Howls !

[naive summit]

I also have this dumb thing but I'm told its kinda cursed

[mild furnace]

Or Prinplup

[burnt bane]

Oh Thats nice

[naive summit]

and honestly its outdated

[wind topaz]

Once more

[clear linden]

fat boid

[naive summit]

[burnt bane]

Isaac gotta come with the clear explanation

[wicked onyx]

Hes eaten to many poffins

[weary pagoda]

driB
don't judge it's an old sprite

[naive summit]

I really hope someone does a psyduck/pory2 rubber duck fusion

if they dont I might lmao

[clear linden]

kinda like the fools gold porygon 2

[burnt bane]

I really hope someone does a psyduck/pory2 rubber duck fusion
@naive summit aight bet

[naive summit]

👀

[wind topaz]

How is that a rubber duck?

[wind topaz]

Oh you said Porygon2

[burnt bane]

Porygon 2 has the shape

[wind topaz]

Not Porygon

[burnt bane]

Psyduck has the color

[wind topaz]

Read my messages

[weary pagoda]

Porygon is a metal duck

[burnt bane]

Yeah I was already writing my own message so shush

[wind topaz]

Shush

Would this sprite count ? (This one is made by Blackboots, not me. I'm not that talented)

[tall moss]

i made this as part of my duck phobia contest entry 😂 erase the legs and bam, rubber duckie

[wind topaz]

Everyone stop asking, @fallow bough will clarify when he’s online in 4 days

[weary pagoda]

Ok

[clear linden]

errr umm

its actually a typo contest

its the avgn contest

you have to make a sprite to go back into the past to play games that suck ass

[burnt bane]

@naive summit quack

[unreal radish]

indeed

[sleek drum]

yoooooooo doduo time

[naive summit]

oh my god yes @burnt bane

[wind topaz]

@burnt bane

[fallow bough]

How do none of you know what birds are?

I don't feel like I need to clarify what a bird is. 👀

[fallen adder]

[umbral rune]

🐦

[naive summit]

Well its mostly Knuckles thinking its specifically body type

[fallow bough]

Beak, wings, shaped like a bird.

Those are all things birds tend to have.

[naive summit]

I think generally, "looks like a bird" isn't that hard to figure out lmao

[fallow bough]

You were all asking for a bird competition and it turns out none of you can agree on what a bird actually is.

"2" - Stan, 2020

[burnt bane]

@wind topaz whats with that picture?

sssh

[naive summit]

I mean so long as they have bird-like features, surely its fine?

[burnt bane]

"2" - Stan, 2020
its my placement in this tournament

[naive summit]

bananatoo

[fallow bough]

I don't think birds have teeth. Or long tails. 👀

[naive summit]

I mean, it has feathers and wings, but ight

[fallow bough]

If it's bird enough I won't smite you.

[fallen adder]

I mean

[fallow bough]

Just no frogs.

[tall moss]

im kinda tempted to try to fuse 2 non-birds to make something that turns out to be a bird, somehow 👀 👀

[fallen adder]

they don't actually

[fallow bough]

I'm not going to go through all the entries and classify them under a particular genus of bird.

[fallen adder]

At least modern birds that is 🤔

[naive summit]

time to submit this

[burnt bane]

im kinda tempted to try to fuse 2 non-birds to make something that turns out to be a bird, somehow 👀 👀
👀

[naive summit]

bird/10 would bird again

[fallow bough]

If it's like 80% bird I'll let it slide.

If it's any% frog it is not OK.

[wind topaz]

<> whats with that picture?
@burnt bane It’s got the same face as your duck

[burnt bane]

ladies and gents

he has arrived

[naive summit]

d u c k

[wind topaz]

We got him

[naive summit]

he quack

[wind topaz]

The beak looks bad

[fallow bough]

What if I came out now and was like "ducks aren't birds"?

[burnt bane]

id hunt you down 👀

help me with the beak knucks

[wind topaz]

“Birds aren’t real”
-Isaac, probably

[fallen adder]

Ducks are pretty much just elephants tbh

[burnt bane]

i was struggling there yeh

[wind topaz]

@fallow bough the main thing was if winged creatures with 4 legs counted, and I think griffin-like creatures like that shouldn’t count

[craggy galleon]

Make it look like a bird. An avian Pokémon used in a non-Avian fusion is not a bird, don't try it.
I wonder if i can take two non-avian and make a birb

[wind topaz]

Someone already said that

[craggy galleon]

sorry just saw the contest

[wind topaz]

Blackboots steals sentiments

[fallow bough]

@fallow bough the main thing was if winged creatures with 4 legs counted, and I think griffin-like creatures like that shouldn’t count
@wind topaz birds quite famously have two legs.

[burnt bane]

knuck

wait lets move to spritework for this lol

🏃‍♂️

[fallow bough]

smh Knuckles you should know all about birds.

[wind topaz]

@fallow bough Read my message, I said they shouldn’t count

[tall moss]

@craggy galleon do it 👀 lets all use non-birbs

[naive summit]

idk man

[naive summit]

this is pretty bird like

[wind topaz]

That’s not a bird, that’s a griffin thing

[naive summit]

beak, wings, bird legs

[fallen adder]

It's more a chimera than a bird

[naive summit]

bird-like is not the same as "is literally a bird"

so what you're saying is, has to be literally a bird

[wind topaz]

Isaac just said they have 2 legs and wings

[naive summit]

can't be bird-like

must be actually a bird

right?

[wind topaz]

Yes

[naive summit]

thats a bit more restrictive, but ight

time for a bunch of flying types ig

[wind topaz]

Though I feel not having a beak but being a bird otherwise will be counted

Like with that Venusaur

[naive summit]

birds have beaks

[craggy galleon]

@tall moss lets break the system

[naive summit]

you just said has to actuallybe a bird so

[fallen adder]

I'd say a bird fusion could have 4 legs in circumstances but not in such a case where it's like a horse body? @fallow bough 🤷‍♂️

[naive summit]

no beak, no bird

[wind topaz]

You’re an idiot

[naive summit]

thanks

I m ean you did just say, can't be bird-like

must be literally a bird

birds have 2 legs, wings, feathers, and a beak

[burnt bane]

Like with that Venusaur
yay

[fallow bough]

Beak
Wings
Two legs
Feathers
Is shaped like a bird

Pick 4/5 of those and roll with it. I want 80% bird.

[tall moss]

pin that

[wind topaz]

I clearly said “though I think this thing will still be counted as long as the rest of the fusion is a clear bird”

[naive summit]

I think that articuno/rapidash is clearly a bird, even with the four legs

[wind topaz]

Isaac, shaped like a bird includes 2 legs and wings

[burnt bane]

Beak
Wings
Two legs
Feathers
Is shaped like a bird

Pick 4/5 of those and roll with it. I want 80% bird.
@fallow bough makes a straight up dragon with an beak-like mouth

[naive summit]

👀

[fallow bough]

It can be shaped like a bird and have human arms and caterpillar legs.

[burnt bane]

wings, 2 legs, feathers, beak

huehue

[craggy galleon]

Isaac, shaped like a bird includes 2 legs and wings
@wind topaz bats have two legs and wings

not birb shape

[fallen adder]

@naive summit It's a Hippogriff tho

[fallow bough]

Shaped like a bird doesn't imply wings or two legs.

[wind topaz]

But not feathers or a beak

[naive summit]

I mean, kind of

traditional griffins/hippogriffs have hooves on the back legs

thats literally a 4 legged articuno imo

[wind topaz]

Griffins usually have front bird legs and back lion paws from what I’ve seen

No hooves at all

[naive summit]

yeah hippogriffs have the hooves

[fallen adder]

Like taking the exact same thing. this is not a bird. clearly

[naive summit]

so basically 2 legs are required

because excluding 2 legs makes it "not shaped like a bird"

[craggy galleon]

@naive summit ad two extra wings and another beack tho the griffin to be considererd a Birdx2

[wind topaz]

That Articuno/Rapidash isn’t shaped like a bird, it’s shaped like a horse

[naive summit]

well duh

if you add two extra legs, 99% of the time it's going to be shaped not like a bird...

the body wont be shaped like a bird with traditional body shapes of 4-legged creatures

[wind topaz]

That’s because birds evolved wings from forelegs or arms or whatever

[naive summit]

exactly

so 2 legs are required

not optional

[wind topaz]

That’s what I said

[naive summit]

but isaac said they're not

you can't exclude two legs without also excluding shaped like bird

so

[fallen adder]

They are allowed in the context that it still looks like a bird

[naive summit]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wind topaz]

Yeah, that’s what I said I have a problem with

Isaac, shaped like a bird includes 2 legs and wings

[naive summit]

because birds do not have extra legs, therefore it is no longer shaped like a bird once those are added

[fallow bough]

Checklist for you to use. You must have 4/5 ticks in order to pass.

[burnt bane]

they have to be shaped like a

b e a n

[wind topaz]

And adding arms and legs and wings makes it humanoid

[naive summit]

bean shape lmao

[fallen adder]

because birds do not have extra legs, therefore it is no longer shaped like a bird once those are added
@naive summit you can think that what you want then and make a sprite with 2 legs

[naive summit]

I'm not good with bipedal so

probably not

[wind topaz]

Isaac, there are Pokémon birds like Natu and Xatu that aren’t bean shaped

[craggy galleon]

well, blaziken not a bird, just three checks on the list

[naive summit]

lmao

[fallow bough]

My bean shape may be artistic license.

[naive summit]

nah man all birds are shaped like beans

if its not a bean shape its not a bird

[fallow bough]

I do not want every entry shaped like a bean.

No please

[burnt bane]

Checklist for you to use. You must have 4/5 ticks in order to pass.

[wind topaz]

Everyone make beans

[fallow bough]

[burnt bane]

isaac made a grave mistake with the checklist

next entry time, honedge farfetchd

[fallow bough]

[naive summit]

can make 4 legged birds but they must not have actual haunches for the back legs because that'd be un-birdlike

[fallow bough]

If it can be argued that it's bird shaped, such as Natu being a circle (but sort of like a bean), or Xatu still clearly being a bird, then I don't require it to be an actual bean.

[wind topaz]

I had to give myself my contest champion role because @fallen adder forgot to

[naive summit]

[craggy galleon]

You can make four legs as long as two of them are not used as legs

[wind topaz]

Isaac bean when?

[naive summit]

interesting

[fallow bough]

I don't think BTA can give out roles. 👀

[wind topaz]

He can’t give out contest roles? I thought contest managers could

[fallow bough]

No. 👀

The roles in this server have next to no power, remember?

[wind topaz]

We have barely any power now anyways

[fallen adder]

Done my concept art

[naive summit]

I wonder if I can make an un-birdlike entry that ticks off four of the checklist

[wind topaz]

He can still decline your entry for not being a bird

[naive summit]

but it'd be 80% birdlike due to features >:(

it'd have feathers, a beak, a bean body and two stick legs

smh

[craggy galleon]

We have stablished that 4 checks is a bird

[naive summit]

therefore its a bird

[mild furnace]

Maybe like a turtwig/golbat or something?

[fallow bough]

All I ever try to do is help people figure out exactly what they can do, and instantly they try to destroy any fabric of a competition I had.

[mild furnace]

It'd have a beak, wings, and 2 legs, but what about feathers?

[naive summit]

nah I'm just thinking of ideas

technically idk if pogduck would work

it has a beak, a bean body and two legs, but no wings or feathers

so technically rubber duck not bird? :(

but he is pogduck so that's nice

[fallow bough]

Pogduck does not work as pogs are instantly banned regardless.

[wind topaz]

Isaac: the next competition will be themed around dogs
Everyone: does it count as a dog if it’s a cat?

[mild furnace]

I have no ideas for the bird comp. Help.

[fallen adder]

@naive summit just make a sprite and think to yourself "Is this a bird?". For the sprite you posted before you need to think "Is this a bird. or a horse"

[mild furnace]

[naive summit]

I mean clearly my ideas of a bird differ from y'alls
