event-general

[fallow bough]

I did check the box.

I also let everyone know when you made it. Not my fault Knuckles can't read.

[zenith matrix]

what happened then?

[fallen adder]

I mean. User error not checking 👀

[quartz locust]

Oh that's weird, and probably untenable too. I think that'd just deter people from entering. 😦

I thought you were referring to not being able to understand Spanish for some reason.

[silver merlin]

I went straight to the finals

I'm gonna get destroyed there but still

[patent lance]

[quartz locust]

Rule 7 will destroy you first. 🙂

[silver merlin]

blaquaza moment

[sweet pond]

what's wrong with the poll

[silver merlin]

ctrl + r

[sweet pond]

still the same x)

well I will guess with previous one that A1 is the yanmega one x)

[quartz locust]

The finals haven't happened yet. 😛

[sweet pond]

but vote on semifinals are still up right?

[silver merlin]

Yea

[sweet pond]

I don't even know who made the one I voted x)

[crude cedar]

on the semi theres like 3/4 obvious choices, and whats left is probably gonna have 5 votes max , entries level are really not balanced this contest

(not saying which thats not rule 7)

[quartz locust]

It's still not nice to put other people down, even if you hide behind the veil of "I don't know which one is which". 😦

[wind topaz]

Isaac didn’t check this box when making the image

#event-general message

[sweet pond]

Rip

[sweet pond]

Thats kinda rude imagine you got in contest and other people would say stuff like this

[quartz locust]

And the odd part is I actually think it's a really solid bracket. I struggled to choose which sprite I wanted to vote for this time because they all had something good about them. 😅

[fallow bough]

Stop spreading lies. 👀

[zenith matrix]

🤨

[fallow bough]

[burnt bane]

[wind topaz]

🔫Everyone

[lime latch]

?

[sweet pond]

nothing 👀

[lime latch]

i am confused

[burnt bane]

Keks is de-aging oh God

[lime latch]

i am deaging until i get old as fuck 😦

[rain stump]

negative age 😳

[wind topaz]

Soon we’ll have to ban you for being under 13

[crude cedar]

im 14

[wind topaz]

Did you have a birthday?

[wind topaz]

Is the next one a themed contest? @fallow bough

[fallow bough]

@fallen adder

[wind topaz]

@wind topaz

[fallen adder]

My name

[weary pagoda]

Keks / Regigigas

[fallow bough]

[weary pagoda]

Gotta make a Duskull / Xatu

That makes me think, Katt'n did a Skel'n / Serperior earlier
It was g r e a t

[patent lance]

cursed

[fallen adder]

I'll be starting a themed comp in about three hours so if anyone has a particular theme they think would be good, feel free to send it on over

[wicked onyx]

whale theme

[tall moss]

trainer sprites 👀

[wicked onyx]

its just wailord

[fallen adder]

what mean

[silver merlin]

Cute themed contest no. 2

[wicked onyx]

Wailord classic competition

[last sorrel]

The Lord of the Rings

[silver merlin]

13 year old contest

[sleek drum]

[fallen adder]

just an array of orcs xD

[tall moss]

no pokemon fusions, only trainer sprites, like the one gnose jisy put up 😂

lotr

lemme make some ents

[sleek drum]

Trainer fusion

[fallen adder]

tbh that wouldn't be that bad

[wicked onyx]

DOES THIS MEAN I CAN MAKE ABOMINATIONS

[tall moss]

medieval fantasy theme

[wicked onyx]

YES

[silver merlin]

BTA wins, no contest needed

[sleek drum]

Thats a good one

[mild furnace]

I think I'd win with the ultimate duo

Leon and his trusty charizard

[fallow bough]

I don't remember Leon being so thicc.

[fallen adder]

That tail

[mild furnace]

what about it?

[fallen adder]

I feel it should be going the other way. looks pretty drastic in it's turn xD

[tawdry berry]

trainer would be really interesting i do gotta agree

[quartz locust]

Modern Mode early route.

Cute 2. 😄

Unevolved. 🙂

Babs. 😃

Round.

[surreal owl]

Baby fusions

[burnt bane]

Discord emote theme

Make something that could be a great emote

[burnt bane]

No

[silver merlin]

Lets get the entire modern mode team to dislike Blaqs idea 😎

[burnt bane]

@misty acorn @brazen pawn 🔫

[surreal owl]

fusions representing common phobias

[wind topaz]

Fusing unevolved and fully evolved 3 stage Pokémon

[misty acorn]

already kinda had that

[fallen adder]

why three stage?

[misty acorn]

To get a contrast (big + smol) I imagine

[surreal owl]

i mean you can kinda go over that with legendaries

[wind topaz]

Fusing natural enemies? @fallen adder

Maybe not

[fallen adder]

Like children and Drifloon

[wind topaz]

Like a mouse and cat or a mouse and snake or a mouse and elephant

[mild furnace]

maybe opposites?

[wind topaz]

Already happened

[surreal owl]

fusions representing common idioms/phrases?

[mild furnace]

"hit the road"

machamp/road

maybe a real life animals contest?

fuse two pokemon to try to look like a real animal as much as possible?

[wicked onyx]

youll float too

[mild furnace]

yup that's drifloon in a nutshell

[neat schooner]

Maybe Fusions that seems like Other Pokémon?

Maybe: Aerodactyl and Crobat to Noivern

[mild furnace]

Fusions of counterparts?

[neat schooner]

Kingler and Blastoise to Clawiztzer

[mild furnace]

Liligant and Leavanny?

Miltank and Tauros?

Counterpart competition please

[naive summit]

Aquatic theme? Kinda simple but broad enough for some fun ideas. or another 'cute' theme

[neat schooner]

They are in the game?

[mild furnace]

No, but you can use non-IF mons for comps

[neat schooner]

Cool. I am awful spriter but Cool

[wind topaz]

[wind topaz]

[mild furnace]

Knuckles, you can't speak for BTA.

Plus you're not even a contest manager

[wind topaz]

I can say when ideas are bad

[burnt bane]

You really don't have to voice them like this tho

[wind topaz]

Realistic animals would be a boring idea and would just be basically taking away a Pokémon’s weird characteristics

[fallen adder]

You are bad

[wind topaz]

Fusions that look like other Pokémon would just be sprites of other Pokémon basically, maybe with slightly different parts or different colors

[mild furnace]

ok but what about the counterpart idea?

[fallow bough]

You'll have to do it quick before more people start to dislike the entire modern mode team due to Blaq.

[tall moss]

cute 2 when

everyones asking for it

[burnt bane]

Cute 2 was doable when kiwi wasn't here (I think she wasn't here right?)

[fallen adder]

I was thinking of doing that medieval fantasy theme. Would do cute but I'm going to make this comp longer as a buffer while we collate answers from that form we made and create our new age contest format

[burnt bane]

With kiwi here she would demolish us even harder than normal

[burnt bane]

Next gen contests

[tall moss]

i dont rly make cute fusions tho 🤔

[fallen adder]

They are cute already 👉 👈

[burnt bane]

They are

Looks at your chinchou

And your Chinchou

But also your chinchou

Even your chinchou

[tall moss]

what about my chinchou?

[burnt bane]

OH

Can't forget

[crude cedar]

Bta's nickname start with ussr, always knew he was into that kind of stuff

[burnt bane]

Miltank/Deoxys

..wait

||I WANT NSFW CONTEST😂||

[crude cedar]

Stan is the real 13y/o in the conversation rn

[tall moss]

miltank classic comp when

[burnt bane]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-thanos-confused-eefar-thanos-scarlett-witch-scarlett-witch-gif-16041254

[last sorrel]

so I was kidding when I said Lord of the Rings

[quartz locust]

I wasn't kidding when I said Cute 2.

[fallen adder]

Dare you to sprite the ring

[weary pagoda]

DUUUDE

[mild furnace]

Are griffins fantasy?

[weary pagoda]

I'LL LOVE THIS CONTEST

[naive summit]

mythological yes, medieval probs not

[quartz locust]

This is a fantastic theme though. 😄

[fallen adder]

yes 🤔

[quartz locust]

Reminds me of the Greek one, lots of options. 🙂

[burnt bane]

This is gonna be epic

[mild furnace]

Damn, Might want to do talonflame/luxray 👀

[fallow bough]

Imagine not just waiting for me to post the winners.

[fallen adder]

I didn't know that was what you were doing 👀

[quartz locust]

IF only? 😅

Otherwise I have an idea. 🙂

[crude cedar]

What's gonna be the next contest bta 🔫

[fallow bough]

This is never the rule. 👀

[mild furnace]

Escavalier/Bisharp. 🙂

Dibs.

[lime latch]

It was never IF only

[nova nebula]

somebody should just post galar-rapidash

[fallen adder]

IF only for only you @quartz locust

[burnt bane]

On another note, not to overshadow the winners

[quartz locust]

This is the curse I deserve. 😂

[burnt bane]

Congrats to the gliscor winners!

Very deserved first place

[naive summit]

nice wins

[burnt bane]

Amazinf sprite @tall moss

[naive summit]

I liked the roserade one a lot, very creative

[mild furnace]

I have two ideas

[burnt bane]

TeamRoserade time

[mild furnace]

Now to come up with a third idea....

[quartz locust]

Amazing job by the way, @tall moss, and great podium placers from @silver merlin and @wind topaz! 🙂

[fallen adder]

All winners start with K. Conspiracy?

[burnt bane]

The winners are

[quartz locust]

3 Ks?

[burnt bane]

||KKK||

[mild furnace]

I was just about to say that Stan.

Damnit stan.

[burnt bane]

Slow

[tall moss]

konspiracy

[mild furnace]

Konspiracy Keory

[quartz locust]

Oh damn I just realised an IF-friendly way I can do the fusion I planned on doing. 😄

[mild furnace]

BTA, what are the rules for the competition?

[burnt bane]

non if might mean some corviknight showing up 👀

[mild furnace]

or Escavalier/Bisharp, obviously.

[fallow bough]

Since when do you read the rules?

[fallen adder]

what mean

[mild furnace]

Since... uh....

[fallen adder]

check pins

[burnt bane]

b..bisharp is already in tho

[mild furnace]

Oh wow you have the rules in the pins now?

[fallen adder]

"now"

[burnt bane]

also i wanna see more than just knights, gimme them delphox's to make mages 🔫

[quartz locust]

Alakazam and Mismagius make for good mages. 🙂

[tall moss]

mismagius

[burnt bane]

del

phox

[crude cedar]

Ussr dude can you make a gliscor themed contest?

Really want one

[quartz locust]

Delphox is who I had in mind initially when I asked for non-IF though. 😛

[fallow bough]

Hang on there's a quote from BTA that sums up how Pengu makes me feel right now.

[mild furnace]

lit. Mega Alakazam.

[crude cedar]

Delphix could be cool but what about sallazle

[fallen adder]

Ask Isaac

[quartz locust]

Pengu my friend you are fantastic. 🙂

[fallow bough]

@mild furnace

[mild furnace]

I bet that's sarcasm Blaq.

[crude cedar]

Remember kid: if you're quoting someone then it's not an insult

[mild furnace]

And Isaac, well fuck you as well.

[crude cedar]

Banned

[quartz locust]

No it's not, you gave me a flash of inspiration. 😄

[fallen adder]

Isaac so edgy

[mild furnace]

I kinda deserve it 🤷

[burnt bane]

really?

nice

"So he hasn't croaked yet? Bummed"

thats not offensive

[mild furnace]

😦

Stop

[quartz locust]

I'm gonna do Alakazam / Tyranitar. 🙂

[burnt bane]

to make?

[quartz locust]

Yeah. 😄

[mild furnace]

Not Alakazam/Delphox? Interesting.

[burnt bane]

to make what?

[quartz locust]

A kaiju mage. 😄

[mild furnace]

He's making yeah, didn't you hear?

[burnt bane]

damn youre right

[tall moss]

8y gon make some knights

[crude cedar]

Delphix is interesting

[burnt bane]

ah yes, kaiju, very medieval

[tall moss]

dragons are arguably kaijus

[mild furnace]

I'm not sure whether to go with my griffin and knight, or a griffin and a wizard. 👀

[crude cedar]

I already see someone that's gonna make a fricking two meters tall stick with a dragon head or something

[sleek drum]

Centaurs fusions time

[fallow bough]

Don't forget the contest rule that if your name is Blaquaza your sprite must be in FRLG style.

[mild furnace]

Speaking of, where did Yago yago?

[fallen adder]

Your art is pretty good

[crude cedar]

Pengu you missed a pun

I hate iy

It

[quartz locust]

A mage is very Medieval. I was gonna do Dragonite but that fusion's already taken. 😢

[burnt bane]

doesnt stop you from making it

[fallen adder]

What do you mean already taken 🤨

[quartz locust]

A fusion already exists and I really like it. 😅

[crude cedar]

But blaq can't steal tho

[burnt bane]

also yeh, i dont see it anywhere?

is it a reddit mon?

[quartz locust]

I like not stepping on other people's toes when possible. 😂

[umbral rune]

just step on everyones toes

[burnt bane]

nvm i didnt type correctly

[burnt bane]

TOES?!

[fallen adder]

Who is going to be that guy that makes a castle?

[burnt bane]

🔨

[tall moss]

palosand

[quartz locust]

Rhyhorn / Palossand. 😂

[burnt bane]

stakataka/palossand

[crude cedar]

Blaq just redo the same thing and make spoon antens

It's easy

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-14359850

[crude cedar]

[misty acorn]

Congrats Kiwi and everyone else 🥳

That Roserade/Gliscor is honestly one of my favorite fusions ever

[nova nebula]

might use "here be dragons" for my submission

[crude cedar]

Tomate isnt a togepi anymore

Something must have gone wrong

[burnt bane]

ohh might make mismakazam

wizard witch

[misty acorn]

New contest be like

https://youtu.be/Qv-yJnRLBpI

[misty acorn]

I might just swap between naked 3d models of mons I like from now on 👀

[quartz locust]

I'd watch it. 😂

I love how awful the old tapestry drawings are. 😅

[burnt bane]

we could make a machamp (or some other human faced mon)/Luxray

cause of how lions or animals in general were drawn with a human face in medieval times

[tall moss]

gliscor/luxray, make a manticore

[burnt bane]

thatd be the ultimate middle finger to isaac

make a gliscor fusion after his contest is over

[quartz locust]

Ultimately he'd win because it's an extra Gliscor sprite. 😛

[tall moss]

shh dont tell stan

[fallow bough]

Don't I get enough of those? 👀

[fallen adder]

Lemme 👏 See 👏 Goblin

[burnt bane]

what would be goblin

[fallen adder]

No clue

[quartz locust]

Non-IF, Sableye or Impidimp. IF, something like Electabuzz / Machop for a little angry goblin? 😅

[crude cedar]

Is the new contest going to be Alakazam?

After the.mzdieval

[burnt bane]

i was thinking of golem/machoke for a medieval golem yk

[crude cedar]

Maybe a golett that's a castle

That could be cool

Idk who to fuse it with tho

Does someone have an idea?

[tall moss]

bastiodon

[crude cedar]

Oh yea

[burnt bane]

granbull machoke -> orc?

[crude cedar]

That could be great

[burnt bane]

p..pink orc

[crude cedar]

Thanks kiwi

Wut

Pink orc?

[burnt bane]

granbull machoke

pink orc

[crude cedar]

Oh

That could be cool

[tall moss]

i also might make an orc 👀

[burnt bane]

with who

[tall moss]

axew

and like slaking

[mild furnace]

Silvally/Silvally: Griffin

[burnt bane]

ohhh

that actually works very well

[tall moss]

dIBS

[burnt bane]

isnt silvally supposed to be a chimera?

like officially

[mild furnace]

Yeah but it looks a lot like a griffin

OH you mean a mythological chimera specifically? I don't think so

[sleek drum]

... harpys are allowed?

[burnt bane]

sure

[zenith matrix]

did we have a choice award already?

[crude cedar]

I think Isaac has one

[mild furnace]

Yeah but he hasn't given one out since the cute competition

[burnt bane]

for the people that dont mind using non-if mons: perrserker/marowak to make dwarf 👀

[nova nebula]

on second thought, i just realized i can't be bothered to sprite anything

so here's the sketch of what i wouldve done

fishe

's because the here be dragons bit on maps is always sea serpents

lanturn/flygon

[tall moss]

make it a chinchou instead

[wind topaz]

I’m upset that the person who won was Kiwi, but I’m fine with that sprite winning since I liked it

[tall moss]

love you too knuckles uwu

😘

[wind topaz]

I’ll probably only make a sprite for this contest if I get a really good idea

[crude cedar]

Sometimes I forget knuckles do sprite

[wind topaz]

I’ve not made that many recently

School, you know?

[surreal owl]

thinking of doing lanturn/slowbro as a wizard

[crude cedar]

Wizard?

I don't see how it is one

[surreal owl]

You'll see when i start making it

[crude cedar]

Like with a stick and the light thing

[surreal owl]

If it doesn't turn out how i want it to i'll scrap it and think of something else

[crude cedar]

In bta's actual nickname, there's "oie", a French word that, translated to English, means goose

You can't keep stuff from me bta

[quartz locust]

Flashbacks to my Greek contest sprite. 😛

[crude cedar]

Did you know that one ancient Persian King was so salty about a defeat he got on a boat war he actually made slaves whip the sea

Ha good times

[sleek drum]

I'm probably gonna make Ditto / Salamence or Skarmory / Gardevoir

[crude cedar]

Skarmory Gardevoir as a knight?

Like iron dress

[sleek drum]

Maybe

[crude cedar]

I have such a brillant mind

Ok I haven't make a collab in a long time someone wanna collab?

[silver merlin]

how did my low quality sprite get second

[crude cedar]

What are you saying

It's cool

The sprite is great

[sweet pond]

Me who wanted the Gliscor/garchomp to win 👀

[zenith matrix]

much obliged

[silver merlin]

I thought it would come second tbh

[crude cedar]

The gliscor garchomp was really good but the proportion and the 3d was too much for one sprite

With more time it would of probably win

[zenith matrix]

well, ive got the least votes

[crude cedar]

So you did it?

It was a good dprite

[zenith matrix]

much obliged

[crude cedar]

Just not finished and not In the game style

[balmy radish]

where can you see the results?

[burnt bane]

It happens yeh

[crude cedar]

#contest-polls

[balmy radish]

ah

thanks

[zenith matrix]

not finished? and i couldnt care less about the later

[crude cedar]

Nothing

It's more like the 3d could of been improved

[burnt bane]

3d?

[crude cedar]

Not finished like you could make it way better easily

[burnt bane]

Sprites are 2d as far as I know

[crude cedar]

No but he made it look like 3d

[burnt bane]

🤨

[zenith matrix]

why exactly do u have the audacity to lecture me?

[crude cedar]

Like it's the only one without "cartoony" ptoportions

How am I lecturing you?

[burnt bane]

Uhhh

What

[zenith matrix]

i mean, if u say it could have been made easily better, show me, u have my approval to edit it

[crude cedar]

Ok

I'll try and do that this weekend

[burnt bane]

This will be fun😂

[crude cedar]

Not sure if it will look good cuz I don't have your talent

[sleek drum]

A really bad sketch of a Ditto / Salamence

[crude cedar]

A castle?

Looking great

It's a really cool idea

Maybe bricks could be scales from salamence

[silver merlin]

I'll probably do a Duskull/Golem fusion of some sort

[wind topaz]

You can’t do that for normal contests

[wind topaz]

You mean the depth and perspective?

[wind topaz]

I just got an idea for the contest

[burnt bane]

Oh?

[silver merlin]

I'm spriting my idea now

[tawdry berry]

Imagine having ideas for the theme

[dull crater]

I was initially pretty unhappy to have been out in round one, but seeing the other 3 from my block (including one that only beat me by 1 vote) all be in the finals helps a bit...

Still got some "If only I had.."s though.

[fallow bough]

Yeah, I can't imagine it's great when there's so few entries that that happens. But the important thing to remember is that people did like your sprite, and that you always have another chance in a future contest. You can do this. 🎉

[crude cedar]

Ping

[wind topaz]

what did you make

[misty acorn]

Isaac has been telling me this for like over half a year now

[fallow bough]

When was the last time you entered? 👀

[misty acorn]

uuuh

gen 2 one?

[fallow bough]

When was the last time you entered and didn't cause everyone to break the rules due to entering with an old sprite?

[misty acorn]

But you gave me the same motivational speech when my Unown/Torterra (still the best sprite I will ever make) lost to mammuth by only a few votes in the first bracket

[fallow bough]

I don't recall ever giving a motivational speech before.

[misty acorn]

Turns out this was less of a speech then I remembered

(Also, fuck discord mobile for not just letting me copy a link to the message)

[fallow bough]

Haha sad bread

[dull crater]

Zapdos/ with a custom pose and light-casting taser tail.

Didn't run it by #spriting-discussion before since I wanted it to be only my own effort. But I can't help feeling like some feedback would have been worth the one vote to at least make semis.

[tall moss]

its a kickass sprite tbh

but the choice of pokemon might not have been the best

[wind topaz]

I don’t like the colors, too dark

[wind topaz]

You think he should’ve chosen Pokémon other than Zapdos and Gliscor for the fusion between Zapdos and Gliscor?

[tall moss]

😂 zapdos doesnt give much to work with

the color palette isnt very eye catching

liek for a zapdos/gliscor its great

[wind topaz]

So you just mean he shouldn’t have made that sprite in general?

[tall moss]

but the fact it is a zapdos/gliscor makes it inherently less interesting

[dull crater]

Well that's fair.

I tried to pick one that's also a decently good fusion for use in game.

[tall moss]

good in-game mons arent always the most appealing combos unfortunately

i remember trying to find something that would be good in-game for the modern mode rival contest and all the cool sprite ideas i had ended up having shit stats

[dull crater]

Medieval idea: Bisharp/Shuckle as the black knight from Monty Python. Missing an arm and/or leg, but it's actually just retracted into the armor (shell). There could even be berry juice leaking from the hole.

[mild furnace]

Brilliant

I'm not using it since I already have 2 ideas, but, still.

Hey, maybe even you could do it

[vestal niche]

Shuckle or Forretress are pretty good for castles.

[dull crater]

I'm decent, but I'm not confident I could pull that off...

[wind topaz]

#sprite-gallery message

[last sorrel]

Still not a bad take on the idea

[dull crater]

That's quite different than I was thinking.

[wicked onyx]

tis but a flesh wound

[wind topaz]

Someone could do a horse crest seen on medieval shields

Either make a horse that looks like that or put it on Aegislash’s shield

[wicked onyx]

idea, america competition, every entry has to have Bullet Seed in their level up moveset

[surreal owl]

There is literally a move called water gun

[wicked onyx]

that too

[near horizon]

a "military contest", at least one move related to the army (water gun, bullet seed, etc...)

[vast blaze]

Flamethrower, flash cannon

[burnt bane]

human shield substitute

[near horizon]

kamikaze self-destruct

[wind topaz]

They said America, not Japan

[burnt bane]

Hiroshima and Nagasaki explosion and self-destruct

[wind topaz]

No more or you’re banned

[wicked onyx]

more

[burnt bane]

Whut

[silver merlin]

Stannen Bannen

[outer prism]

Did you just delete that

XD

[wicked onyx]

Its knuckles

[tall moss]

nick is active again? 👀

you gonna make some spritessss

[wind topaz]

Xiapher hasn’t made a sprite since December 6

[tall moss]

ye but hes chatting so 👀 im hoping hes gonna start up again

[wind topaz]

He’s never really stopped speaking here

Actually, it seems he took a break during January

[fallen adder]

think your funny @wind topaz. Sneaking an among us in my name

[tall moss]

i have a bunch of channels muted so i might just not be seeing him 🤔

[wind topaz]

You have spritework and spriter general muted?

[tall moss]

spritework yes 😂

[polar pewter]

I do too

[misty acorn]

Removes Kiwi's helper role

[wind topaz]

Removes your sense of sight

[crude cedar]

😐

[umbral rune]

😐

[dull crater]

Is Sir Gawain and The Green Knight too obscure to reference? I had to read it, but not until college, iirc.

[wind topaz]

Pretty sure everyone knows the main King Arthur and such tales

[dull crater]

Wasn't sure if that counted as main. I guess it'll be fine.

[last sorrel]

As Arthurian legends go, that one's fairly recognizable

[plush vale]

do we seriously not have escavalier in this game? rip

[wind topaz]

No

[plush vale]

the speed would be hard to compensae for reagardles of other fusion component I guess

ya'd need 140 to break 100

[wind topaz]

I don’t know what you’re talking about

[plush vale]

if escavalier was in game

[wind topaz]

It’s just not in the game because not every Pokémon is

[plush vale]

i know that

I just thought it had a lot of fusion potential so was surprised

[wind topaz]

The stats would not be any harder to calculate than any other fusion

[plush vale]

not calculate

make use of

[wicked onyx]

I think ive been lied to

[crude cedar]

Can I do an escavalier?

[umbral rune]

not allowed

[tall moss]

pokemon outside IF are fine for contests

[wind topaz]

But you’ll pay a terrible price if you use them

[wicked onyx]

knuckles will remove your [REDACTED]

[crude cedar]

Is it the kidney?

I have two he can do it

[dull crater]

you have to use the IF dex number to submit the fusion, so out of game mons are inherently not allowed.

[dull crater]

[weary pagoda]

I have a question

Would this sprite be considered as "Medieval" ?

[silver merlin]

You wouldn't be allowed to add it to the contest either way 👀

[weary pagoda]

I think it does, but with second opinions I'll be sure to not make something out of context

[weary pagoda]

I never wanted to add it 🔫

Answer to my question instead 🔫

[tall moss]

whats medieval about it? 🤔

[burnt bane]

Absolutely nothing, besides the name

[weary pagoda]

Absolutely everything, beside Stan

[burnt bane]

What?

[outer prism]

Looks hawaiien

Make an alt looking like Altair

Praise the sun

[near horizon]

is this a jester ?

[weary pagoda]

It does have some jester vibes for me. And with that, hey, it's a king.

And not just a fusion with a crown. It's a king that looks like a king 🥴

[burnt bane]

still cant enter it, no matter if it would fit or not

[weary pagoda]

I know right 🔫

[burnt bane]

then why do you keep talking about how it would 🔫

[outer prism]

why can't it be entered?

[burnt bane]

he made it before the contest

[weary pagoda]

Because I was wondering if it could if I made it for the contest 🔫

We cannot enter old sprites yeh

[outer prism]

ah

some contests allow previous made ones

[burnt bane]

those were the older contest

then we came with this rule

[outer prism]

yeah

[tall moss]

ye the rules changed

[outer prism]

I might have gotten into the last of the old ones

[burnt bane]

gen2 contest was an sort off exception

[weary pagoda]

During the last sponsored contest I wanted to sprite 's family but they said nah

[crude cedar]

smh

[near horizon]

Yay !

[silver merlin]

@lofty elk You can only submit up to two sprites for the contest. 👀

[lofty elk]

Oh sorry, I was told it was 3 :/

and I understood that it was 3 also xD My bad xD

[rain stump]

it used to be though right?

[silver merlin]

It used to be 3, they changed it to be 2

[lofty elk]

when was that changed? because on the press release of the contest it is written 3 suddenly :/

[silver merlin]

Oh, it was a special case for the contest thats up

this contest specifically is okay for 3 entries

sorry for wasting your time

[lofty elk]

np xD it's ok (anyway to be honest the last one I put I'm not at all convinced that it passes xD)

[outer prism]

I wonder if Legend of Zelda would be considered 'medieval'

[lofty elk]

there is a dragon quest slime, so zelda is medieval fantasy xD

[near horizon]

I think almost all Zelda games are in a medieval world

[lofty elk]

(with a little bit of steampunk for some)

[quartz locust]

The train from Spirit Tracks might not count. 😛

[lofty elk]

"Steampunk" xD

[wind topaz]

I think it would depend on what Zelda thing you make

[crude cedar]

zelda is medieval?

[wind topaz]

Slimes are in like every medieval fantasy, I just chose the most iconic design

[wind topaz]

It’s like medieval with some futuristic technology we don’t even have thrown in

Because there’s castles and knights, but also lasers

[crude cedar]

oh ok

[outer prism]

https://tenor.com/view/hyrule-warriors-age-of-calamity-hyrule-warriors-the-legend-of-zelda-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-gif-18595809

guardian ;D

[wind topaz]

Not just that game

Even ALttP has sentries with lasers

[near horizon]

AlttP ?

[wind topaz]

A Link to the Past

[near horizon]

ho

[outer prism]

I don't even know how a guardian would be made

[wind topaz]

Robot

[quartz locust]

So are things like Bokoblins and Koroks, even Hylians themselves. I think most Zelda things would be fine, I don't actually see slimes in many Medieval things. 😂

[wind topaz]

Medieval fantasy

[burnt bane]

Don't spread fake news

@lofty elk you can submit 3 don't worry

[silver merlin]

Did you read what i said after

like

[wind topaz]

Slimes are one of the most common enemies to be in fantasy RPGs

[burnt bane]

I did a knuckles moment

So no I didn't🔫

also you still spread fake news

[wind topaz]

Katten didn’t read

[silver merlin]

how do read

[wind topaz]

I read the thing before telling them it was only 2 and then I didn’t because it was actually 3

[quartz locust]

Now that I think about it, slimes are basically in Zelda with chuchus. 🙂

[tall moss]

zelda is medieval fantasy, just, thryre actually creative about their designs 👀

gorons inhabit the same ecological niche as dwarves

[outer prism]

are there pokemon with 1 eye

except unnown

[tall moss]

duskull

[outer prism]

hmmm

A Hinox would be cool to try and make

[wind topaz]

Magnemite

Beldum

[quartz locust]

They're both metallic though so they wouldn't make for great Hinox of Medieval designs. 😅

[wind topaz]

No other options

[quartz locust]

Unown / Snorlax could work maybe? 🙂

[wind topaz]

Dusknoir has that belly mouth that could be used to make it look more creepy

[quartz locust]

Dusknoir is the better choice. 😄

May have forgotten about it for a second.

[tall moss]

dusclops is good too, nfes need love

[wind topaz]

He’s kind of a mummy though, which fits a Hinox even less

[outer prism]

Primaple

.....but that doesn't have a mouth

[tall moss]

if you wanna make a hinox, slaking

[outer prism]

OH

of course!

[tall moss]

im making a slaking too 👀

[outer prism]

with like, a honedge around its neck

cause design

[wind topaz]

What?

[tall moss]

he was thinking of a pig nosed mon to make a hinox with 👀

[wind topaz]

Oh, I thought he was still looking for one eyed Pokémon

[outer prism]

yeah, body

[weary pagoda]

Dusclops is the best

[wicked onyx]

dusknoir is better

[weary pagoda]

[outer prism]

eviolite dusclops vs dusknoir

[wicked onyx]

im talking design wise

[burnt bane]

Duskull absolute best for fusion designs

[weary pagoda]

Dusclops

[outer prism]

Duskull would work for Hinox

[burnt bane]

Its a skull

Whats not to like

[outer prism]

no, Stalnox

[wicked onyx]

Stanlox

[burnt bane]

Amazing joke

[weary pagoda]

I'm sure everyone here love skeletons, but still

[wicked onyx]

i know

im a comedy genius

[outer prism]

Could also make a Stone Talus

Or that ehm

....Molduga?

desert fish monster

but that's not medieval anymore

that's just......LoZ monster

[quartz locust]

Zelda contest when?

[weary pagoda]

I'm still thinking about making a jester with Sunflora

[outer prism]

Sunflora/Mr.Mime

[weary pagoda]

Too easy and doesn't have enough potential

I also thought about making a knight with Pidgeotto as head

[quartz locust]

I think it has loads of potential, it could juggle sunlflower seeds. 😄

[burnt bane]

Why pidgeotto?

[weary pagoda]

But Mr. Mime doesn't really look like a jester, and I don't think I can change it too much

[weary pagoda]

Ah-ha ! You shall see

[outer prism]

Valkyrie?

[quartz locust]

Mr Mime's ear parts with a Sunflora petal in the middle forms an easy jester crown, the collar can be petals too. 🙂

[burnt bane]

Would valkyrie be considered medieval?

[outer prism]

Escavelier would be an amazing pokemon

[burnt bane]

I mean you can use it

[weary pagoda]

That was not my idea but it's pretty close

Oh wait
I got a better idea

Hahaha

Hehehe

[burnt bane]

||what is it?||

[weary pagoda]

Hohoho

||One with Dusknoir, but, you shall see||

However I hope my idea is not too similar to Nick's

[wind topaz]

Someone should make the Eye of Sauron

[quartz locust]

What'd that be, Dusknoir / Trevenant or something? 😅

[near horizon]

But trevenant isn't in the game ?

[weary pagoda]

Actually, no. But I look forward to show some sketches of my idea

[wind topaz]

I think he was talking about the Eye of Sauron

[weary pagoda]

Ah yes

Diglett could also work

[fallow bough]

Nah we're going back to three and giving longer contests, because that's what people voted for.

[silver merlin]

Neat

[fallow bough]

But we haven't worked out all the details yet, so I have yet to edit the pinned rules.

[silver merlin]

Take your time while doing so.

[fallow bough]

The new age of contests launches soon.

[fallow bough]

Blaquaza will complain regardless.

[silver merlin]

It's Blaquaza, what would you expect?

[vestal niche]

Are 3 required or is 3 the max?

[silver merlin]

3 is the max, not required.

[vestal niche]

👍

[burnt bane]

What is soon

[fallow bough]

We're hoping to have it done by next contest.

[tall moss]

👀

hyped for contests 2.0

[weary pagoda]

Hehe, same

[fallow bough]

Don't set yourself up for disappointment. We can't please everyone, although we have tried to mix things up so as many people can be happy as possible.

[weary pagoda]

As I usually say, we shall see 🙂

[tall moss]

i will either enjoy the contests or enjoy complaining about the contests 😎

[weary pagoda]

I'm not excepting it to be too bad

[fallow bough]

Rule 1 of New Age contests is to ban Kiwi to give everyone else a shot.

[tall moss]

time to make seventeen alts

[weary pagoda]

C'mon Kiwi you won too many contests

But one day I'll have to take over

[tall moss]

ill help you

[weary pagoda]

I won't allow you to take over yourself

[tall moss]

i just wanna help with feedback

[weary pagoda]

2bad

But actually I'm happy with this time-extend rule, I'm always missing time with the contests to make everything I want ||and that's why my name isn't dark blue yet||

[mild furnace]

I just saw this. I already used escavalier.

[crude cedar]

then just redo the damn thing

next

[mild furnace]

I just looked in the folder

Scarecrow also did a griffin

And I refuse he didn't steal my idea because he also used talonflame

but since it's better he will get more points

god why do you do this to me

[tall moss]

people regularly have similar ideas

no ones stealing anything

[mild furnace]

Then life is unfair ;-;

At least I have another idea

[tall moss]

you can always inprove the sprite of you feel like its not a strong enough entry

[mild furnace]

No. I think I did well, it's just that he did wings and wings are always better than non-wings

And I can't fit wings on my sprite

[burnt bane]

Milchik stole my idea

Not that I mind as much cause heh

[burnt bane]

I probably won't join this contest either way cause "motivation sad noises

[tall moss]

join the contest stan

[burnt bane]

Amazing name KUwU

B..but

I'm addicted to Divinity 2

[tall moss]

🔫

[mild furnace]

I... I didn't look at it like that... 👀

[burnt bane]

I still need to make my roserade luxray so that I can continue my Modern Mode run as well

How did you look at it then

[mild furnace]

Like I didn't want to obscure the beautiful tail

[burnt bane]

Beautiful tail?

[mild furnace]

I just meant she found a way to still include the tail

[burnt bane]

T..thats just persian tail

[mild furnace]

Yeah but i worked really hard on getting the shape right

[wind topaz]

Jezza just has the same exact idea and product as that other guy who made the sprite, he didn’t steal

[tall moss]

hmm youre right unban him

[crude cedar]

jezza was banned

so glad he doesnt have alts

sweating while thinking i did a great job at keeping my cover

[outer prism]

Don't joke about that

[crude cedar]

wdym

[umbral rune]

iirc wasn't there someone that was a supposed jezza alt a bit ago

[burnt bane]

there was

even made a sprite that got on the banner

[wind topaz]

The banner with the sprite of a banned user who used an alt to upload the sprite is still on the wiki even though we made a replacement banner which should’ve replaced the one on the wiki too @vast jay

[crude cedar]

lmao jezza ones said he made his sprites in 2 hours

even the will from mii or whatever thingy

just lmao.

[vestal niche]

Do we need to add any specific note if a sprite is for a contest or no?

[crude cedar]

no

wait

i had the best idea

bastiodon/goomy evo

[wind topaz]

Only when submitting it (read the rules and pins)

[wind topaz]

What, a castle and moat?

And drawbridge?

[crude cedar]

no

better

(i mean theres gonna be these two)

thanks for the moat idea

ik you're not gonna be participating so im gonna tell you in dm

[fallen adder]

Nothing changes. Just make sure to put your discord name as part of the file name when putting it into the contest google drive folder

[wind topaz]

And not when putting it in the gallery @vestal niche

[vestal niche]

o7

[fallen adder]

That’s why I said nothing changes except for when putting it in the drive 👀

[crude cedar]

remember knuckles if you leak that you dead

🔫

[fallen adder]

What is it

I wont leak

[wind topaz]

It’s his contest idea

||I could tell someone in dms if they want||

[crude cedar]

Sad

[wind topaz]

@haughty laurel I can’t tell what that Talonflame fusion you submitted is

[burnt bane]

You either need to get your eyes checked or take a good look at pokemon some more

That's quite clearly a luxray

[wind topaz]

It could clearly be a lot of other 4 legged Pokémon

The only thing specific to Luxray it has (mane) doesn’t even look the same as on Luxray

[polar pewter]

imo it's pretty obvious with the shape of the mane and ear

the only thing I can really think of is maybe adding Luxray's tail to it

[last sorrel]

Luxray's got a distinctive tail, probably a good choice to have it

[haughty laurel]

...maybe

[crude cedar]

its the basilic thingy

like the chiken witnh powers

idk which animals he's fused to thpo

[wicked onyx]

ballista?

[crude cedar]

maybe

that

idk what its called in english

but i thinkk its basilic

[wicked onyx]

cockatrice

[crude cedar]

yea

[wind topaz]

Basilisk

But that’s a different mythical beast that is just a big monster snake

[near horizon]

if i remember right, basilisk and cockatrice are very similar but aren't the same thing

(one is more "chicken-like", the other one is more "snake-like")

[vestal niche]

Accurate 👍

[near horizon]

but they are both ugly .... most of the time

[vestal niche]

The obvious choices are Blaziken/Arbok

But you could use Onix, since both turn people to stone with a glare.

[near horizon]

or one of the three birds (zapdos, moltres, or articuno) with Arbok or Onix

[vestal niche]

Not a bad shout.

[burnt bane]

i might have 2 ideas i'll actually make

celebi/kirlia for your classic fairy/pixie and moltres/pidgeot for the very original phoenix

[quartz locust]

Rule 7?

[burnt bane]

its not being voted on yet?

[silver merlin]

It's not rule 7. 👀

[quartz locust]

I'm still iffy about it. 😅

[burnt bane]

its feedback to make it better tho

would be the same if scarecrow had posted it in #spriting-discussion

[quartz locust]

I'm still iffy about it. 😛

[burnt bane]

why tho

knucks did nothing wrong

[silver merlin]

Blaqs iffy about everything.

[quartz locust]

I'm not iffy on the thought of banning Katten.

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-ban-among-us-ban-imposter-ban-gif-18884723

Is what cause he's me? 😮

[crude cedar]

No

[silver merlin]

You got pinged there, so Yes.

[crude cedar]

I'm not on PC so I can't see

[silver merlin]

cringe

[crude cedar]

Cringe indeed

[brazen pawn]

Isnt it only rule 7 when the votes are available?

[crude cedar]

You can't say shit about a sprite that's already made but you can when it's in the brainstorming phase I think

Just in #spriting-discussion

[burnt bane]

This does go towards rule7 territory

[mild furnace]

Ok

[crude cedar]

It does?

Sad

[fallow bough]

No Katten Bannen.

[crude cedar]

Can you collab for normal contests?

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-14359850

[burnt bane]

I feel like you asked or mentioned something like this a few days ago already

And it was already said that you can't

[crude cedar]

I have the biggest sprite ever to do and I can even collab 😢

[quartz locust]

Sounds like a you problem, pigeon. 😛

[crude cedar]

Blaquaza is a meanie now

[burnt bane]

He is also correct

[crude cedar]

Pigeon?

[burnt bane]

Also always has been

[crude cedar]

Cringe

[burnt bane]

I was referring to the fact that it's a you problem

[crude cedar]

Ik

[crude cedar]

Ok since my sprite has to be a 80x80 big phat sprite I don't think I'll do it for the date

Especially since my PC Ont even turn on rn

I think I'll just wait for the next contest where I can send it

[tall moss]

i dont think larger sprites really take that much longer tbh 🤔

[wicked onyx]

They take 10x longer when i make them

i took me 30 minutes to put pixels down at one point

[wind topaz]

80x80? Don’t you mean 96x96?

Also, you still have like 4 days to submit it

[crude cedar]

no like the thing is gonna be in a 96x96 frame but the whole thing is gonna be 80x80

[tall moss]

thats only 1600 individual pixels to place per day

start at the top left

then make it 1 row at a time

like a printer

[wicked onyx]

Xrinter?

[crude cedar]

whos xrinter?

ok my pc is on now i can sprite

[tall moss]

xrilrox

[wind topaz]

EEEEEYUUUUHM

[crude cedar]

imagine me getting the contest dark blue

ill be higher up than stan

thats worth everything in the world

(and every pixel of the 6400 i have to place)

[mild furnace]

I think I did really well for this comp, I'm excited

[crude cedar]

çok i looked at the drive

im not saying names but the one that was made by a mod is absolutely epic

[vestal niche]

I wasn’t going to enter and I’ve already put in two. It’s been fun.

[crude cedar]

i like yours 🙂

[vestal niche]

I used to sprite like 12 years ago so it’s good to be getting back into it 😜

[tall moss]

you could do 3

[vestal niche]

Thinking about it. 👀

[tall moss]

i have an idea for my 2nd sprite but no 3rd idea yet 🤔

[crude cedar]

the max entry send is 3 right?

[tall moss]

ye 3

im still hoping for infinite entiries next contest 👀

[burnt bane]

I like how you started the message before with imagine

[crude cedar]

well fyi

huh

shut

😎

[quartz locust]

Sandslash / Rapidash unicorn? 🙂

Duskull / Reuniclus skeleton? 😄

[compact saddle]

bisharp would fit well for a skeleton body

[crude cedar]

mine is epic

[tall moss]

🤔

[compact saddle]

make it better

[tall moss]

no u

[compact saddle]

i am unable

[quartz locust]

Oh wow, and the fact that you specifically made that is hilarious. 😂

Galarian form. 😛

[compact saddle]

galolan

[crude cedar]

its sad that the cron isnt a sandslash pine or whatever it is

[vestal niche]

Went from not putting my customs in the gallery, to not entering the contest, to entering the max of 3. This shit is fun, man.

[crude cedar]

[mild furnace]

Xreal...

[crude cedar]

What

[mild furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-dwight-joke-jim-identity-theft-gif-14240042

[crude cedar]

You can't get me

[mild furnace]

Rename yourself

[crude cedar]

I'm too fast

[mild furnace]

right now

[crude cedar]

Ok

You good?

[mild furnace]

Yeah

[vestal niche]

Concept: Magnemite/Omastar as a Beholder.

[compact saddle]

why do i always read Beholder as Beyonder
then i just go brr marvel fan

[wicked onyx]

👀

[vestal niche]

You gave me cockatrice. Feel free 😛

[mild furnace]

I wish I could have more entries ughhh

Oh wait

technically if I remove my bad knight entry

then maybe

9,000 IQ plays here

[wind topaz]

Yet it was a 2 IQ play to submit it in the first place

Some of these I don't know how they're related to medieval fantasy

Like Flareon/Gardevoir and Slaking/Golurk

[mild furnace]

Slaking golurk could be a l o n g stretch to an orc or a barbarian

But yeah some I just don't get

If it counts, I might do an Amphisbaena. Would it count if I did?

Noctowl/Ursaring Owl Bear, maybe

[mild furnace]

Damn somebody beat me to it

Yeah I just searched it up Knuckles

And you beat me to it

No wait... I was just thinking of making a Dobhar-Chu, then I realized Vaporeon is basically one

[dusk schooner]

I think since Owlbears are a DnD original creature, that's more high fantasy than medieval fantasy anyway, I'm not sure how far this contest goes for creatures like that

[dull crater]

minotaur is a greek thing too...

[burnt bane]

Knuckles entered the classic DQ slime, so idk what is and isn't allowed

Id say slime is solid, dnd creatures are a stretch as they aren't as well known

[dull crater]

that feels like a joke tho

[burnt bane]

although I'd love to see a tarrasque

@fallow bough

[dusk schooner]

I was gonna make a fusion based on a Gorgon from HoMM3 which is based on the DnD version, but it doesn't really have anything to do with medieval at all

[dull crater]

The rainbow quatl also isn't

[burnt bane]

Yeh there are some odd entries

Why is there a minotaur🤨

[crude cedar]

Rainbow quatl 😳

[dull crater]

And I don't even know what the arbok/blaziken is supposed to be

[crude cedar]

It's probably like a chimera or something

[burnt bane]

Basilisk or cockatrice apparently

[crude cedar]

Arbok Blaziken?

[dull crater]

There are also some really good ones though.

[burnt bane]

I certainly hope it isn't supposed to be a chimera cause that's even more different

[burnt bane]

There truly are some sublime ones

[crude cedar]

Like mine 😏

[dull crater]

honedge torterra is a great recent add

[burnt bane]

We can't talk about the specific sprites guys

[dull crater]

That's only during voting

[crude cedar]

Stan is blaq now?

[burnt bane]

I feel like it still fits for before voting

[crude cedar]

Stanquaza 😳

[burnt bane]

Cause voting can be just as influenced before voting starts if you mention good sprites

Xril what did you even make

[crude cedar]

The better one

🕶️

[burnt bane]

I don't see any of your sprites in the contest folder tho?

[crude cedar]

It's camo'd

😎

[burnt bane]

FR tho what did you make

[crude cedar]

I haven't finished it yt
