Sincerest apologies for the late judging, guys. I've got a lot of things going on at the moment and it completely slipped my mind yesterday.

CrimsonFeint - ForeverAlOnix
F8AL: I like this sprite very much and you masterfully melded the 'Forever Alone' meme together with Onix. The way you blended the face with the sprite is very good and you can easily tell what face the sprite is supposed to be representing. I think you did the coloring and shading on the face very well as well and you caught the texture for the rock surface spot on.
Firus: I really like what you did with this sprite. The shading on the right side of the head is a little strange, but I love how you transformed Onix’s head into the “Forever Alone” face while maintaining his rocky texture, and doing so quite well, might I add. You blended the face well with Onix to the extent that it looks very natural, and that’s an accomplishment.
Neon Ness: I can’t imagine how hard it must’ve been to scale down Forever Alone to a few pixels in size. Some of the shading is a little confusing on the face, like that gray patch on the right side (possibly just missing an outline?), and a few more slight wrinkles/grooves might’ve contributed in terms of details. But mostly this is a well done fusion.
F8AL: 8/10
Firus: 9/10
Neon Ness: 8/10
FINAL: 8.33
Daddy Ash - FuRageFet
F8AL: When I first looked at the sprite I didn't like it very much but upon closer inspection I noticed that it didn't have to look uniform or anything and that the sprite wasn't meant to be taken seriously. While I think pulling off that face on a sprite would be almost impossisble for me, I think you did it quite nicely and found myself laughing at the sprite when I finished thinking about it. You made the eyes perfect but I think you could've done a bit more work on the mouth. Overall, I think you did a good job on the sprite and with a couple of tweaks it could be perfect.
Firus: You did a good job with this sprite. The “Fuuu” face was well-constructed and it blends in with Wobbuffet well; although the face is odd (just due to the fact that it’s a strange face), it looks natural on Wobbuffet. My one complaint about this sprite is that the face clashes with Wobbuffet’s body position a little bit; if you had moved his other arm up in the air instead of having it bent at his side, I think it would’ve lent itself better to the face and completed the sprite.
Neon Ness: I love the eyes/eyebrows lol. The face just fits really well on Wobbuffet, oddly enough. The shape of the mouth is slightly off (I think it’s a little more angled down near the sides as opposed to being rounded off) but it’s still easily recognizable. Nicely done.
F8AL: 9/10
Firus: 8/10
Neon Ness: 9/10
FINAL: 8.67/10

Congratulations to Daddy Ash for being the winner of Round 11!
For the Round 12 Prompt, I'm going for something a little more involved, but I think this should be interesting to see, so bear with me:

Congratulations to Daddy Ash for being the winner of Round 11!
For the Round 12 Prompt, I'm going for something a little more involved, but I think this should be interesting to see, so bear with me:
Note that since the round is starting a bit late and this is a more involved prompt, I'm extending the deadline a few days.Back in the early days of Pokémon, there were rumors of a "Pikablu" obtainable in Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow through various extreme methods. These rumors were false; however, there were various theories on what Pikablu was. Some believed Pikablu to be a Pikachu evolution, others believed it to be some secret legendary Pokémon. ("Pikablu" was also a nickname assigned to Marill once it was first seen.)
Create a sprite which represents your concept of "Pikablu". (You could just submit a Marril or blue-colored Pikachu, but keep in mind that entries like that won't be judged kindly.)
The deadline is Wednesday, June 29th at 11:59 PM EST.
