[burnt bane]

😂

[weary pagoda]

I could have worked a bit more on the pose, oh well

[misty acorn]

I have a cool idea, but not sure if I can do it

[weary pagoda]

Do
For the sake of the polls

[sleek drum]

gonna make a sphynx

[weary pagoda]

I'm surprised no one made any persian fusion

[silver merlin]

If you all need more time, you get more time, so don't get stressed about the time if thats the thing 👀

[weary pagoda]

I actually think an extra day and a reminder about the existence of this contest would help things a lot

I wonder if Blaquaza is working on a sprite as well
It's like his own contest after all haha

[silver merlin]

I'll remind people today

[weary pagoda]

Cool, thanks

[thick atlas]

which blaquaza?

[weary pagoda]

The real one, the one who's green

[thick atlas]

will the real blaquaza please stand up?

(he's doing a collab with me)

but hes a bit busy too

[weary pagoda]

Oh ok, nicenice

For now I think we're far from a decent amount of entries to make this contest run properly, which quite surprises me

[silver merlin]

i think people like part 3 more than 2

[sleek drum]

not gonna lie but this contest is much less interesting than the others two that are open

[silver merlin]

it's pretty much like a old themed contest

[weary pagoda]

Depends. For me it's the most interesting of the three

[misty acorn]

So my idea was to make some sort of gallade fusion that looks like Yugi with a duel disc, but it doesnt really fit the theme and I don't think I'll be able to make it work xD

[haughty laurel]

I made a yamask and cofagrigus Persians for the last part....

[wet flax]

at the last stage do i have to put yamask and cofagrigus in the same image or can it be separated?

[compact saddle]

i assume its clearly separated

what if y'all do something like keywords for each entry? idk, might have some repeated fusions

[wet flax]

I find it difficult to have repeated fusion of what I'm going to do

[compact saddle]

~~i mean im saying this cause i know there will be ~~

[dusk schooner]

Are you guys talking about making sprites for fusions that already exist? You're still allowed to do that

[compact saddle]

no, making the same entry as someone else

[dusk schooner]

The sponsored contest with the fusion lines had the fusions placed in folders, so I assume that's what's gonna happen here too

[compact saddle]

[dusk schooner]

Because even without repeats, the fact that some numbers in the dex aren't ordered, some pokemon aren't gonna appear next to each other

[compact saddle]

yamask and cofagrigus is the clear example

[dusk schooner]

Yeah. And pokemon that had their prevos introduced later than their final forms, like Aron line

[fallen adder]

We would only be making it harder for ourselves if we just made you guys dump them in the drive together 🤔

Why do you guys worry about these things when they aren't even open yet 👀

[thick atlas]

weirdos

[fallen adder]

no u

[quartz locust]

Working on one with Xoto but I've just moved back to my family's house now uni's done. 😅

[weary pagoda]

Oh ok

Now that I'm done with exams as well, I'm feeling ready to sprite all the time

[silver merlin]

Then do my icon reques-

No pressure, take the time you need

[weary pagoda]

I thought you would make all your entries at light speed because of the theme

[weary pagoda]

It's ok, you make me remember that I still have a bunch of requests to do

[severe dust]

if you want i have one 👀
i was gonna enter but i work like 10-ish hour days and im too out of it lol

[cedar quest]

Truth, if I didn't have work for the rest of this week, I'd def make something sick

But hey

next week is my vacay

[thick atlas]

so like extend it by 24 hours?

[silver merlin]

Or more, yeah

[thick atlas]

i guess it will indeed help. i suggest 24h

[rain stump]

that's alot of h

[silver merlin]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[lime latch]

oh howls also saw the appeal of sandshrews pattern

[thick atlas]

do we get more time or not?

[fallow bough]

No, we decided against that.

[brazen pawn]

[lime latch]

Do we have 20 min or 2 hours left?

Katten enss it usually way earlier

[fallow bough]

An hour and twenty minutes.

If Katten ends it earlier let me know so I can fire him.

[patent lance]

I think you mean "More t-time.. p-please..? 👉👈🥺🥺🥺🥺 "

[tall moss]

there are so few entries wtf

[quartz locust]

Xoto and I are trying to squeeze a last minute one in. 😄

[tall moss]

@silver merlin @fallow bough extend 🔫 ill sprite after work

[fallow bough]

I tried, but BTA said no.

[tall moss]

i wouldve made my sprites earlier but ive been distracted all week

[fallow bough]

He said there's no point in us trying to force entries in what is clearly an unpopular theme.

[burnt bane]

So were gonna have like...6 entries😂

I do want preliminary, semi finals and finals tho

[fallow bough]

Yeah the fact is that even with Kiwi sprites there would be like, nothing there.

[burnt bane]

With what?

[tall moss]

i missed charlotte after her vacation, shes been hogging my attention

even got me playing bug fables

[burnt bane]

🪵

[fallow bough]

And isn't it great?

[tall moss]

im enjoying it

[burnt bane]

has my message actually gone unnoticed?

[fallow bough]

What are we meant to say about a log?

[tall moss]

but i wanna make sproot

[fallow bough]

Time to take a break from work and make one super fast.

[tall moss]

you know what

im doing it

[fallow bough]

That's because it's amazing.

[burnt bane]

Ohboy

[tall moss]

no closing the comp til im done tho

[fallow bough]

Katten Closen

@silver merlin you've been warned, you'll be punished if you close the contest early.

[lime latch]

It will be all xoto

1st place x collab with xoto
2nd place y collab with xoto
3rd place xoto collab with xoto

[dusk schooner]

With a contest this small, how are the brackets gonna work this time around?

[fallow bough]

Katten's been drinking heavily all morning trying to figure that one out.

[dusk schooner]

Typical Katten

[fallow bough]

Honestly I would guess it would just be the one poll.

[quartz locust]

Could do two brackets of three, asusming Xoto and I get our collab in on time. 🙂

[burnt bane]

2 brackets would end up with a 1v1 for finals?

[tidal leaf]

oooh, exciting. a 1v1.

[burnt bane]

lemme just upload my cofagrigus luxray

[tidal leaf]

do it, stantler

[burnt bane]

but its like...6 months old

[tidal leaf]

no one knows

[fallow bough]

Please don't suggest bad ideas. 🙂

[burnt bane]

🕵️

[tidal leaf]

also more like 8 ago

[burnt bane]

i really wouldnt know man

[fallow bough]

There's no point dragging the voting across several days if it could all be done at once.

We don't make it multiple days because it's cooler, we do it because it's more efficient.

[tidal leaf]

just use the search bar. it was 12 nov 2020

[burnt bane]

wait did i upload it on the 12th of november?

[tidal leaf]

yeah

in #sprite-gallery

[burnt bane]

birthday post bois

[tidal leaf]

less go

[burnt bane]

[compact saddle]

wait contest ending? fuck i didnt get to make a third cause school

[quartz locust]

Speed sprite. 😉

[compact saddle]

hm yes ofc

thought the date was due 4/7, cuz it was a late start

oh well

[dusk schooner]

I'm speeding a sprite rn, don't know if i'll make it in time tho

[quartz locust]

[dusk schooner]

Too easy

[thick atlas]

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

||actually made by a person named hatpop to give proper credit||

[tall moss]

[thick atlas]

sorry, too late

[tall moss]

[dusk schooner]

That's a nice sphynx

[burnt bane]

Jesus fucking christ kiwi

What the actual

a bit too big tho but God damn

[compact saddle]

what the fuck

[dusk schooner]

I guess it's supposed to be big since it's based on a monument

[rain stump]

WHAT THE FUCK KIWI

[burnt bane]

Ban kiwi and xillo for being way too good and way too fast

[compact saddle]

well then
now the confidence gone

[quartz locust]

7️⃣

[burnt bane]

Not yet being voted on

[quartz locust]

There aren't many entries to this contest, but holy heck is the quality high. 😄

Good luck everyone. ❤️

[dusk schooner]

Does that mean everyone who praised the sprite also broke the rule

[quartz locust]

Yes.

[burnt bane]

how is it ANY different regarding giving feedback or saying anything in spritework tho

[quartz locust]

She's not working on the sprite and it was put in the contest folder when it was being commented on. 😅

[compact saddle]

"it's in #event-general "

[burnt bane]

[compact saddle]

wtf i was actually mocking you dont agree to it

[burnt bane]

I'll just uh

Okay

[silver merlin]

[burnt bane]

🚶

[quartz locust]

I mean nobody's probably getting banned over Rule 7 (other than extreme cases) and it's largely just so people don't big up or overly criticise certain sprites, when there's only 8 it could play more of a role than you might think. 😅

[dusk schooner]

Too lenient, you should IP ban all of us actually

[quartz locust]

I have considered this twice already. Today.

[compact saddle]

he wishes

[nova nebula]

ip ban hiimself so he never has to see this again

[compact saddle]

[silver merlin]

i've been in a car for the last like, four hours

[untold violet]

No it's not about that

[compact saddle]

make a poll to see how many people want more time

[fallow bough]

@silver merlin 24 more hours, Kiwi says so.

Yeet BTA is here to save us.

[silver merlin]

ok

[rain stump]

simp

[fallen adder]

I mean ye. Feel free to make a poll. But make sure to specify to only vote if you are planning on making a sprite

[compact saddle]

i have no clue what any of this means

[naive summit]

based

[untold violet]

You said "the dates of wich the constest will happen have been pushed back by two days"

[silver merlin]

i'm getting back in car this is too confusing bye

[silver merlin]

bta updated the dates on his post

[untold violet]

Oh okayyyy

Sorry

[silver merlin]

What

[patent lance]

If you're planning on making a sprite, vote yes, if you're planning on not making a sprite

vote

[fallow bough]

If you're not planning on making a sprite, don't vote to have the contest extended.

[tall moss]

do i get to vote twice if im planning on making 2 sprites

[fallow bough]

That's a waste of everyone's time.

[silver merlin]

just make a ton of jezza alts

[patent lance]

_ _

[fallow bough]

When are you gonna have the time to make two sprites?

[burnt bane]

What if I vote yes but then don't make a sprite

Who's gonna find out huh

[patent lance]

banned

[silver merlin]

me.

dead.

[burnt bane]

🧢

[patent lance]

you just exposed yourself stan

[burnt bane]

No cause see

[compact saddle]

just make the poll you fuckin clowns

[fallow bough]

Honestly I'll just ban you just now to make sure that doesn't happen.

[burnt bane]

Its a what if

[fallen adder]

I’m gonna be afk for a bit so don’t expect more replies from me 👀. I gave my say and reasonings. @silver merlin it’s your part, do what the heart yearns for

[patent lance]

quick some moderator add a new rule that contest time is final and no asking for more time

[compact saddle]

contest managers be like

[silver merlin]

[rain stump]

is that teekee

[silver merlin]

The poll is made, no clowntten anymore

[burnt bane]

I've always wondered, what happens if you add an emote to the poll👀

[silver merlin]

the server gets deleted

boom

done

discord dies

[brazen pawn]

so is the deadline now? so should i upload it or do we have more time?

[burnt bane]

[rain stump]

you vote with emojis instead of letters

[compact saddle]

= yes

[burnt bane]

It gets deleted👀

[silver merlin]

If that would have been possible "yes" would be that

[dusk schooner]

"I got more than you making me the victor"

[silver merlin]

"i got more than you making me the loser"

[compact saddle]

i could send another emote for it, but

[silver merlin]

[compact saddle]

you know it

[silver merlin]

[silver merlin]

I'm closing the poll now

[rain stump]

[silver merlin]

Time has been granted, now sprite

[silver merlin]

[silver merlin]

[brazen pawn]

I am afraid now

[silver merlin]

Of what

[brazen pawn]

of you

XD

this ok sounded fearsome

[naive summit]

rapidly spriting

[rain stump]

just like the passive aggressive 🙂's blaq does

[burnt bane]

bro when blaq warnes someone they will get muted or banned and uses 🙂

scary

[rain stump]

you're muted now 🙂

[dusk schooner]

Damn, atleast have a jumpscare warning when you use that emote

[rain stump]

You're muted now. 😄

that's an actual blaq message there

[misty acorn]

I've just aquired your credit card details through my maleware 😉

[compact saddle]

[dusk schooner]

[quartz locust]

Anyone want to collaborate? 🙂

I lack ideas but I make up for it with moxie and heart. 😄

[wet flax]

I want but I don't want

[quartz locust]

Who said they were passive? 🙂

But I didn't this time. 😂

[burnt bane]

[lime latch]

so how much time do we have now?

[fallow bough]

However much time you can bully Katten into giving you.

[thick atlas]

it doesnt matter what he does, kattens doing always wrong it seems

[lime latch]

the problem is not what he does, its his inconsistency

[burnt bane]

xoto im waiting on my request, i cant use my prinplup atm in my game

[thick atlas]

oh i thought it was just for fun

[burnt bane]

no 😂

[lime latch]

first he said, "no BTA will hurt me if i give you extra time"

Now he says "well BTA left the door open, so i can give you extra time"

[brazen pawn]

I think its great of katten to react to users lol

[fallow bough]

That's pretty consistent. The theme is
>

[lime latch]

in reality its the other way around, but katten just blames bta for everything

[lime latch]

and i still want to know how much time was actually added

[quartz locust]

Does anyone want to do Smeargle / Yamask and Cofagrigus with me after Heartbreaking Stanley ruined my dreams (after Katten already ruined my dreams)? 😦

[burnt bane]

[compact saddle]

sad time, no blaq collabbing with blaq

[quartz locust]

There is now Blaq now, only Heartbreaking Stanley and Heartbroken Blaquaza. 😢

[burnt bane]

@tall moss the hearbroken breaks a heart himself

oh how the turntables

[compact saddle]

your 4 letter abbreviation is now Heart

wait

nvm im tired

waking up early messes with a man

scrapi cant count confirmed

maybe its why i need to study now

[wet flax]

go study young

[compact saddle]

how old are you

[wet flax]

my age is 16² + 401-235 / 5x2-307 + (10-60 + 34-220) 🕵️

and maybe i messed up

[burnt bane]

20?

[wet flax]

no

[burnt bane]

i copy pasted into google and calc showed 20 👀

[lime latch]

you do know oyu can just search that with google and it gives you the answer

[tidal leaf]

so yes

[burnt bane]

which apparently is wrong

[wet flax]

[tidal leaf]

imagine not being able to math correctly

couldn't be me

[wet flax]

I miscalculated

how can i calculate wrong using a calculator?

[tidal leaf]

happens to me so often you don't want to know buddy

[wet flax]

but it was supposed to be 16

[tidal leaf]

-4

[fallow bough]

My age is (7!! - 6!!)/3 + ⌈Σ(1/(n^2))⌉ from n=1 to n=∞.

[wet flax]

[tidal leaf]

My age is (456+12*8)-(33/2+a) with F=43 and m=0

[wet flax]

535.5?

[tidal leaf]

F=ma

so a=F/m

so its not possible to calculate

[burnt bane]

My age is 17+1

[tidal leaf]

damn this one is hard

21?

[wet flax]

171

[tidal leaf]

[fallow bough]

Wasn't possible anyway given you didn't state that equation or what the variables actually meant in the question.

Mine is an actually solvable one if anyone cares.

[tall moss]

i suffer psychic damage just looking at it

[burnt bane]

Same

[fallow bough]

@atomic fox solve my age.

[burnt bane]

2

[wet flax]

I don't want to solve this sigma thing

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/27-twentyseven-ventisette-simpson-lisa-gif-14625829

[tidal leaf]

I get it

thanks blaq

[burnt bane]

You're welcome

[quartz locust]

It stops changing when we do a collab. 😛

[burnt bane]

Then figure out what you wanna do for collab

[quartz locust]

I saw you call me a fucker, Heartbreaking Stanley.

[fallow bough]

That's the only bit that stumps you?

[burnt bane]

I deleted that cause I'm now called blaq anymore

GDI

[wet flax]

yes

[burnt bane]

wanna see me do it again

[quartz locust]

1️⃣

[burnt bane]

Stop throwing rules at me i don't know what they mean

[fallow bough]

Huh.
Why do you have knowledge of the double factorial?

Jawel

[tidal leaf]

then rule 1 doesnt apply

we always communicate like this

[burnt bane]

Hah

Get fucked

[wet flax]

It's a good question, but I don't have an answer for that

[fallow bough]

The sigma bit's the easy part.

[silver merlin]

:)

[wet flax]

I know a lot that I don't even know how I know about these things
and the sigma I don't know anything, I just know it's a greek letter

[silver merlin]

i'd like to

[silver merlin]

24 hours

[silver merlin]

[fallow bough]

Shout out to my girlfriend actually sitting next to me trying to work out my age from the formula as though she doesn't already know it.

[burnt bane]

Shout out to best girl erin

[wet flax]

random knowledge, like dolphins are racist, flamingos have milk, and dragons are just dinosaurs that some people have mistaken for fossils

[atomic fox]

Right, but consider it was fun. You’re a boot though since I didn’t realise it was a double and not a single factorial. My poor brain was melting.
If anyone wants to be a geek:
7!!=7x5x3x1
6!!=6x4x2
And Σ(1/n) from n=1 to n=∞ ~ 1+1/2+1/3+1/4+1/5…

[fallow bough]

All animals have milk, just like coconuts.

[wet flax]

no

[fallow bough]

Crack them open and the milk is on the inside.

It's not princes' names.

The sum doesnt converge...

[quartz locust]

Someone remind me to submit the Smeargle / Yamask line to the contest drive when it's open. 🙂

Which is technically today, according to the post in #event-announcements.

[fallow bough]

@silver merlin updaten the announcementen posten to haven the righten datens

I know it's BTA that's meant to do that but that doesn't flow as nicely, and Katten's the only person who actually knows how long this contest is extended for.

[upbeat vortex]

So that's a double factorial? Eww. I was thinking it was something like the factorial of the result of 7! And I was thinking that would be too massive a number

[fallow bough]

Yeah double factorials are basically completely unrelated to regular factorials in that sense.
Since Erin didn't really explain it in direct words, x!! is when you multiply x with all lower integers that have the same parity (odd or even).

Also I got that sum hella wrong because I forgot to put in the "^2" (which would still be wrong ) and didn't notice until Erin actually solved it but shh it's close enough.

[atomic fox]

Just add in ceiling

[silver merlin]

someone give this girl a medal

[tall moss]

extending the contest was a good idea, now there are WAY more entries

almost double

[silver merlin]

[compact saddle]

[quartz locust]

And honestly I'm really happy with our collab so I feel that alone is a victory. 🙂

[tall moss]

yesss it turned out great

[tidal leaf]

Is it the jynx?

[burnt bane]

Kiwi we need to collab more👀

[tall moss]

here blaq, have a gif

[burnt bane]

Woah kiwi animation sprite smh

[tidal leaf]

damn

[tall moss]

first the miltank, now this jynx

then..?

[burnt bane]

do you mean the miltank

the bta miltank

[tidal leaf]

I fear to ask what miltank

[fallow bough]

It is literally what I think of when I think about Miltank now.

[brazen pawn]

i love doing these kind of gifs

[burnt bane]

[compact saddle]

imagine saving drafts

[dusk schooner]

Is that why you don't like when people tell you to change stuff?

[compact saddle]

a cool progress gif would've been for our weezing/metagross

[quartz locust]

This shows how teamwork makes the dream work. 😄

[burnt bane]

Just work back from your finished product😂

Copy finished, remove shading and make it all base color, then remove all color and mess up the outline

[compact saddle]

amazing

i'll just give my sprite to you, that'll make it look rougher

[burnt bane]

Is it ok to cancel BTA now?

[rain stump]

bta is being transphobic, ugh

[thick atlas]

[rain stump]

[dusk schooner]

BTA is a lt.surge Chad

[severe dust]

[rain stump]

where'd it go?

[silver merlin]

thewall

[rain stump]

yes that is my discord nickname

[silver merlin]

bot hasnt loaded it in i think

ctrl + r should fix

[compact saddle]

this is such a short contest but everything is good wtf

[rain stump]

scrapi looks like your bee isn't going to win 👀

[burnt bane]

Bot went very slow for me, fairly sure it wasn't my wifi

Bot broken

[tidal leaf]

the bot instantly worked for me

[burnt bane]

Wait no actually

[brazen pawn]

some are really creative

[burnt bane]

Nice joke wall😂

[brazen pawn]

or actually most of them

[compact saddle]

i didnt get it, i just became sad

[burnt bane]

Its cause you can't vote for C there😂

[rain stump]

sorry

[compact saddle]

wait actually i think i was the one that broke the bot

[burnt bane]

Gdi scrapi

Ruining your own chances then??

[compact saddle]

[brazen pawn]

XD

[rain stump]

thank you, my mom made it for me

[burnt bane]

[compact saddle]

the fuck happened now

[quartz locust]

Good luck everyone, I honestly thing the quality here is tremendously high. 😄

[silver merlin]

stop breaking bot :(

[compact saddle]

gaming

[silver merlin]

ctrl + r to fix

[burnt bane]

@tall moss sike, you're the one that won't win

[compact saddle]

i did ctrl R and it went from mising C to missing A

lmfao

[silver merlin]

i said it would fix the problem

[compact saddle]

[tall moss]

[brazen pawn]

Isnt a2 also made by kiwi?

[burnt bane]

[quartz locust]

Kiwi in that bracket:

Xilchik the Xiltank

[quartz locust]

If anyone is up for a collab, let me know. 🙂

[fallow bough]

I'm up for a collab.

[quartz locust]

Also @fallow bough You used the wrong number for Cofagrigus in your example. 😛

[fallow bough]

I just added 1 to Yamask's number. 😂

[rain stump]

blaquaza do me

[quartz locust]

Are you or are you being your meme queen self?

[silver merlin]

For the sponsored one

[rain stump]

I wanna work with you :))))

[tidal leaf]

just do a huge flex and make cofagrigus with all eeveelutions

[quartz locust]

Yes, let's. 🙂

[quartz locust]

4 sprites. 😢

[fallow bough]

No, I'm up for one.

Just not with you.

[tidal leaf]

damn

[compact saddle]

lottie, dont you mean four entries?

[burnt bane]

Damn

[quartz locust]

You are a cruel, cruel human being. 😭

[silver merlin]

Damn

[fallow bough]

Fixed it.

[compact saddle]

8 sprites per person

i'd have to cancel two people if it was changed

[fallow bough]

@quartz locust I'll collab with you if you want. I'll draw the design and you can make a sprite from it.

[compact saddle]

lottie collabs

[silver merlin]

[quartz locust]

This is the best way. 🙂

[lime latch]

Ok guys my contest idea for the third part:
Yamask/corsola, where the mask is corsola and the body galar corsola

[compact saddle]

[burnt bane]

[silver merlin]

[lime latch]

Also it would be kinda this meme
https://i.imgflip.com/49no71.jpg

[compact saddle]

ayo @cedar quest do prehistoric count

[severe dust]

i'd be down to collab if anyone would want! i actually have an idea that could be fun but im open to doing someone else's

[cedar quest]

@compact saddle I can neither confirm, nor deconfirm that, it's "Deep Sea"

Interpret that how you want

[compact saddle]

[quartz locust]

Make a big yellow fish in the deep blue sea. 🙂

[silver merlin]

does somone want to collab for the sponsored comp

[cedar quest]

Not me

[silver merlin]

ok

[severe dust]

i'd be down if you cant find anyone! we just did deep sea week in class last week so i've had a few ideas anyways
though down to try and help with anything else

[quartz locust]

I already said yes. 😛

[silver merlin]

so we collab for sponsored

[quartz locust]

Yes. 🙂

[cedar quest]

Really looking forward to what y'all got

[silver merlin]

I can't do the polls seeing as my internet has been out for the entire day, and its going away soon again, i told the other contest managers about this, so the polls should be here soon

[lime latch]

I just like the size difference in the semis

[fallen adder]

what mean

Oh i get it now

Younger brother who follows him around everywhere 😭

[severe dust]

oh shit
i managed to make it into semi finals? genuinely surprised
ALSO HEHE
cute :)

[rain stump]

rip talon/infernape, loved that one

[quartz locust]

You're one of the few people who did, apparently. 😦

[brazen pawn]

what bothered me was that the feathers are different sized from left and right arm

[thick atlas]

foreshortening

[quartz locust]

I am trying very hard to not respond aggressively here.

After this contest round is over, ping me whenever I say I'm taking part in contests. At this point I really don't want to anymore but can't help myself. 😦

[thick atlas]

blaq, if youre happy with your fusion just be happy with it. dont listen to retro 🙂

[supple epoch]

I think I thought of an idea for a future contest theme: “Team Rocket Journeys”- Where you can only use the heads and bodies of Pokémon used from the Rocket Gacha in the Pokémon Journeys series.

[quartz locust]

How many of those are in IF?

[fallen adder]

It doesn't matter how many are in IF

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/itcrowd-reboot-gif-4770974

Damn it, you edited it.

[supple epoch]

Quite a bit: Gyarados, Tyranitar, Buneary, Natu, Crobat, Machamp and many more.

[thick atlas]

is was fun, wasnt it? dont be sad

[supple epoch]

The Bulbapedia shows which ones they used

[quartz locust]

Working with you and Kiwi was great, I just think the voting puts me in a bad mindset. 😅

[compact saddle]

lets go, im in the semis

[lime latch]

So.. I need to find a new partner
and start drawing that thing

[quartz locust]

That's different, that one's for money.

[severe dust]

LOL

[quartz locust]

I'm just either not good enough of a spriter or don't know what appeals to people and I'd rather not put myself through that every few days if I can help it. 😅

[thick atlas]

sometimes its just luck, too

[severe dust]

also blaq frankly if its okay to say (ik theres a rule about discussing voting but)
i was stuck between you and the heracross one and ended up flipping a coin because they were both really fun and i couldnt decide

i thought it was great

[thick atlas]

the contests arent about winning but about having fun

[thorn robin]

can a contest manager tell me if we can use galarian yamask and runerigus for stage 3

i had an interesting idea with them

[brazen pawn]

? i didnt even said anything remotly rude? I was stating my opinion

[compact saddle]

well, that is only my mindset after i won once

[lime latch]

I am happy as long as my sprites get more then one vote usually. So i know that somebody out there enjoyed it. :)

[brazen pawn]

and yeah they are just for fun

[dawn ivy]

Dont, I really liked it, and its just though that you get to vote on one, some others that are lovely get very little votes because of another one in a bracket, but it was really good :>

[quartz locust]

Losing confidence isn't fun so that's why I want to stop. It's why I basically didn't sprite for two months. 😅

[dawn ivy]

(ping woops)

[dusk schooner]

Yeah keep in mind that because you can only vote on one, having the least amount of votes in a bracket doesn't neccesarily mean the sprite's bad. People have their preferences, it's gonna happen no matter what to anyone

[dawn ivy]

For me, when I lose my confidence in my work, i find NOT doing a contest is better. Just make a fusion you think is fun and just work on it

keep it as fun, not as a job

[quartz locust]

I don't think I've even made a semi in like six months so it's a pretty consistent pattern. 😅

Either way, the pity party on my end is getting extreme and nobody's really going to be able to magically fix that, so let's change the subject. 🙂

[severe dust]

you guys catch that game last night

[brazen pawn]

for example this one. Its so great and only has 3 votes

[dawn ivy]

your work is fine and you're very good in helping others, be nice to yourself ^^

[quartz locust]

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early? 😮

[dawn ivy]

strange contest talk this is

:')

[compact saddle]

yeh, even if most of the time i disagree upon your feedback its mostly how i like my work, you're basically the tutorial man for beginners, helps a lot blaq

[brazen pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-crossed-arms-pikachu-eyes-closed-pokemon-gif-15194868

And its great to see improving spriters because of bla

[severe dust]

^
i remember in more than one of my early sprites blaq helped me

[normal nebula]

I think I know why I keep missing the polls until the semifinals

it's cause they keep announcing another contest within like 15 minutes of the previous announcement so I end up seeing the notification and thinking it's just the announcement of the other contest

[dawn ivy]

maybe read

[normal nebula]

wow good idea didn't think of that

[dawn ivy]

apparently you didnt or you wouldnt miss things

[normal nebula]

well now that I realized it I probably won't make that mistake again

[dawn ivy]

yeps

[lime latch]

Also dont mute polls so it will be white if a new poll starts

[brazen pawn]

True

[severe dust]

For the Yamask/Cofa, can you reverse the fusion halfway? Like, could I do X/Yamask and then Cofa/X?

[normal nebula]

I don't mute it

but I mute the server

[severe dust]

@fallen adder

[dawn ivy]

Also does it matter of you use damask/cofa as body or head@ wasn't sure

Autocorrect on mobile is a pain sometimes

[quartz locust]

It doesn't seem to specify so either should be good. 🙂

For some reason I assumed it was body but it doesn't actually say that. 😅

[cedar quest]

I assumed it was head

[normal nebula]

just an idea but a contest focused on making icons would be cool. Like picking an existing sprite and making an icon of it. Or a few of them.

[fallen adder]

I suppose you could? Though part of the contest is to make each in the line relate to eachother

[severe dust]

yes they are supposed to relate to one another
idea i wanted to do was omastar/yamask where a small helix fossil is being cradled by the yamask body
and then cofagrigus/omastar where it's an extremely ornate egyptian god omastar

[fallow bough]

The thing about Arsenal is they always try and walk it in.

[tall moss]

relying on external validation to build up your self exteem and confidence is very unhealthy and dangerous, if you can so easily have you confidence destroyed by the results of contest votes, you need to work on yourself and learn to get your self worth internally. dont let the whims of others control something as important as your mental health

[severe dust]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-of-wisdom-joe-dogs-cute-plane-gif-19582396

kiwi the pimp and philosopher

[fallow bough]

The pimp?

[severe dust]

[misty acorn]

[brazen pawn]

[burnt bane]

We talked about this yesterday retro, and you actually did it as well

I'm so happy for you 2

[brazen pawn]

yeah I am happy aswell, even tho I wanna win a comp on my own aswell

I am really proud of this sprite tho

one of my personal favs thanks to bb

[quartz locust]

You cocky bastard. 😂

[burnt bane]

Nah, the design is solid blaq

[quartz locust]

Also you and BButton absolutely deserved the win, that scarab was phenomenal. There might not have been many entries to this contest, but I feel like it was the best in a while. 😄

[burnt bane]

Speaking of

How far are you🔫

[quartz locust]

I'm working on it now. 😛

I had to go suit shopping today though. 😢

[burnt bane]

[burnt bane]

Blaq in a suit?

[silver merlin]

Dripquaza

[quartz locust]

For my fake graduation ceremony. 😂

[burnt bane]

[fallow bough]

I'm rocking up to that Teams meeting in my pyjamas and they're saying nothing about it.

[tall moss]

get the fancy looking pyjamas at leastttt

[silver merlin]

Woah fancy

[quartz locust]

Oh we actually get to go to campus and get a physical degree and have pictures, but without the pomp and circumstance. 😅

I had to fight all year for even that much. 😂

[fallow bough]

I would look good in those.

[dusk schooner]

Congrats @brazen pawn and @untold violet, nicely done

[wind topaz]

So, is the winning entry based on a scarab beetle?

[untold violet]

Thx !

Yes, on golden scarabs in Egypt

And I took a picture from the anime for the base

[dusk schooner]

It's a great choice of pose

[quartz locust]

It really is, you did a great job. ❤️

[lime latch]

why did you reupload the contest gallery lottie?

[fallow bough]

Katten had too many errors in her posts for me to want to give a list of edits, so I just yeeted them. Plus I like the wall of Lotties when you scroll.

[quartz locust]

Lottie is an egomaniac confirmed.

[wind topaz]

Charlotte just wanted to have only her posts in that chat, no one else

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/narcissist-egomaniac-self-ego-gif-16391714

[burnt bane]

who @'ed me here

[thick atlas]

knuck knuck

something about the sponsored contest

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/animation-disney-movies-the-princess-and-the-frog-happy-gif-14841642

That was to say Charlotte did it, not me. Makes me look like an evil cackler instead.

[burnt bane]

What did he say?

[thick atlas]

you and blaq both posted your collab or so

and that he really likes both of you

[burnt bane]

whut

[silver merlin]

stonned

[thick atlas]

but he deleted it, so there might have been somthing wrong

[fallow bough]

I didn't ping Stan.

I only ping Blaq.

[quartz locust]

Lottie? More like Blockedie.

[compact saddle]

@wet flax the name of your folder at the contest drive is 361 instead of 362

[thick atlas]

Huh, 2 persian lines

[wind topaz]

Charlotte? More like toilette

[rain stump]

I only just found this 😂

[rain stump]

it'd better win

[thorn robin]

Epic slowpokes

[rain stump]

someone should make an entry based on this

[thorn robin]

Why does that top part disappear wilbur 🔫

[rain stump]

eat ball

[fallow bough]

Sadly it's not even being included in the voting. I made them quickly to showcase an example of a line and how to upload them to a folder.

[rain stump]

that's sad

[burnt bane]

still think it should be voted just to see 😂

[dusk schooner]

We can only score out of 10, and the scores would need to be much higher to give it an accurate rating, guess it can't be included

[thick atlas]

For me its way too sexualized. This is a childrens game fgs

[lime latch]

Rated A for awesome

[quartz locust]

I was gonna make a sprite of these but I absolutely overdid it with collabs this time. 😂

[sleek drum]

finally got an idea for the contest

[rain stump]

in the last like

2ish days no less

[lime latch]

Plenty of time

[fallow bough]

It's OK. I found someone else.

[silver merlin]

who?

[compact saddle]

nani

[fallow bough]

Ten minutes left, in case anyone is looking here and can finish their sprite in ten minutes and for some reason hasn't yet and needed a reminder even with no ping.

[compact saddle]

epic sprite moment, last entry done

wait i need the yamask

[rain stump]

gonna quickly do yamask/reuniclus 👀

[compact saddle]

[rain stump]

bro why are you so good even when you do 10 second sketches

wtf

[compact saddle]

[dusk schooner]

Judging for this contest was fun. Rating all of the designs you guys came up with was very enjoyable

[silver merlin]

which is why you're never judging again

[dusk schooner]

[quartz locust]

Honestly, what a fun batch of contests in general. Even if there weren't as many entries, the standard of entries was really high, good luck everyone. ❤️

Judgement Day awaits. 🙂

[rain stump]

we do a little being nervous

[rain stump]

agreed

[candid karma]

i await the day to vote out the most cringe

[dusk schooner]

Most of the sprites you guys did made their way through spritework and a well recieved in the Gallery, so feel free to disagree with anything we say about your entries

[cedar quest]

3 days left on the sponsored before voting (and the GamR's choice award), be sure to enter if interested

[quartz locust]

this sprite from Cali would have been a perfect entry to this contest. 😄

[cedar quest]

Truthhhhhh

Haven't looked at the submissions yet, so I'll be going into it blind 😎

[wet flax]

i know i won't get very far

[quartz locust]

Don't put yourself down, these sponsored contests and the tourney format have had some wild results before. 😄

[wind topaz]

Not 288x288

[weary pagoda]

3 days left

Oh no

[compact saddle]

wait the sponsored only has 3 days left?

we chillin lets go

[weary pagoda]

Now I gotta go fast

[misty acorn]

If you go as fast as my animated sprites in contest polls, you should be fine

[mild furnace]

Who wants to collab with me for the sponsored comp? I already have an idea

[rain stump]

what’s your idea?

[mild furnace]

i don't want anyone to steal it

[rain stump]

do it yourself and within 2ish days

[cedar quest]

[wicked onyx]

like how my flattened wailord got into the second bracket that one time

[rain stump]

I like how you pinged blaquaza

[lime latch]

I should go back to the sprite before blaq bans me

[mild furnace]

fine

it's [REDACTED]

[rain stump]

haha idiot i'm gonna steal your ide

a

[mild furnace]

[cedar quest]

haha i saw an idea going in blind

[mild furnace]

this is why I didn't want to say my idea out loud

[cedar quest]

I've avoided spritework and sprite gallery just so I don't see the subs

hey

hey pengu

step 1:

DMs exist

step 2:

[lime latch]

Did you ask stan first?

[severe dust]

lmk if anyone wants to work with me
nothing else to do today and have a few ideas, though idc if anyone "steals" them, but a few are a little outside my skill level in scratching stuff

klinklang/wailord helicoprion
octillery/hydreigon lusca
dusknoir/kyogre aboleth

would be happy to draw designs if anyone needs

helicoprion

lusca

aboleth

[compact saddle]

this aint really wailord

mby lanturn if you try to incorporate the lights somewhere else

[wicked onyx]

that would be sick though

[burnt bane]

@silver merlin so uh, judge stuff when?

Or @fallen adder

or @fallow bough

[silver merlin]

Tomorrow, or something like it, maybe a little later than that

[burnt bane]

Wait tomorrow?

[silver merlin]

Yeah

one of the judges not done

[burnt bane]

Who

[silver merlin]

[burnt bane]

which of them do i need to bully

Xillo the god, xoto the bully and milchik the

Yes

[thick atlas]

[silver merlin]

Welp

Xoto is the one to bully, stan

[tidal leaf]

Xoto

[burnt bane]

my time has come

[tidal leaf]

How dare you

[burnt bane]

If only xoto was as fast at judging contests as he was at judging my designs

[patent lance]

If only xoto was as fast as xoto

[tidal leaf]

If only

[burnt bane]

IF

[silver merlin]

I.

[fallow bough]

You really don't need to ping all three of us if it's my competition. I said the results would be no sooner than 5PM BST today, not that that's when they would be. My aim is to give the judges time and not feel they have to rush out judgements just so that people get instant results. I want them to feel able to take their time and give judgements they feel are accurate.

[burnt bane]

Is it bad I didn't notice you 3 actually kept with your own part of the contests every time😂

Thought you just did it when someone was online lol

[thick atlas]

you havent seen my full power yet

[quartz locust]

I have and it makes me sad. 😦

[compact saddle]

[tall moss]

scrapi double first place

[compact saddle]

thank you judges

[untold violet]

Gg Scrapi, Scarecrow, Kiwi and Lottie !

[compact saddle]

also @tall moss @haughty laurel it was super fun working with you two <3

[tall moss]

yesssss

[compact saddle]

xillo has great feedback wtf

[tidal leaf]

Wait was this rigged?

Scrapi won twice?

[burnt bane]

pffft i placed 6 with a line that wasnt for the contest

[tidal leaf]

what?

[burnt bane]

congrats to scrapi^2, kiwi^2, scarecrow and lottie tho

[wet flax]

milchik and xilo talk about the eyes, but xoto didn't say anything

[thick atlas]

Being judge is hard and no fun at all
There are many great sprites and creative ideas!
I was a bit in a rush. Please read my comments not that harsh

[wet flax]

[sleek drum]

Congrats Scrapi, Scarecrow, Kiwi and Charlotte 🥳

[compact saddle]

thank

[sleek drum]

got a higher place than i expected 🙃

[wet flax]

I thought I would be last for the quality of the other sprites

[compact saddle]

wait what is the server pic

[untold violet]

@brazen pawn Say goodbye to our scarab

[fallow bough]

Really tempted to just make it .

[compact saddle]

[fallow bough]

I actually have no idea what to do for the server pic.

[compact saddle]

just jam 4 sprites in there and hope they're not claustrophobic

[fallow bough]

I'll let you make that for me. 🙏

[compact saddle]

[sleek drum]

Fuse the two winners

[tidal leaf]

just do a poll between the 4 sprites

[tall moss]

did yall notice the teeny shellder hieroglyph its where my and lotties amazing custom comes from

[burnt bane]

oh so it wasn't a reference to something else-

[sleek drum]

Slowpoke base

[burnt bane]

Yeh where is the slowpoke base
