Man, no entries this week? Was everybody just busy or did you all have trouble working with this prompt?
Post and let me know. If everyone's been busy, I'll just extend the deadline a week to the 27th. If you guys really don't know how to work with the prompt, I'll come up with a new one.

Yeah, fusing humans and Pokémon is a bit strange. I have a few examples of my own that I did way back in the days of The Custom Pokémon Shop if you want ideas of how it can work:
(Ho-Oh and Ninja Boy)
(Sceptile and Flint)
Not my best work, especially seeing as I made both of them nearly three years ago, but it might give you some ideas of how you can do it.
That said, I'm still all right with changing the prompt if it proves too difficult. If that helps, let me know; if not, I can try and come up with another prompt.
(Side note, the three-year-anniversary of the creation of The Custom Pokémon Shop just passed, for everyone here who was around back then.)

I decided I was too busy to finish a sprite in the deadline because of a play we were putting on at school that filled my waking hours. It's finished now, so if the deadline does get extended I'll give it a shot. I personally like the idea of fusing a trainer and a pokemon.
I had a play around, very basic but one of these will be my entries if the current prompt stays
1.
2.
3.
Basically it's faulkner (sorry about spelling) with pidgetto's wings/tail feather, added entie's face mask thing to second and pidegeot's mane to third.
EDIT: out of all 3 number 2 is my personal fave.
Nice sprites firus & gratz on the anniversary of Custom Pokemon Shop :D
EDIT2: resubmitted my 3rd sprite idea, fused mane of pidgeot with the hair better looks more in place :D

All right, so I take it we're up for a deadline extension?
The deadline will be extended to May 27th at 11:59 PM EST. The prompt/title will be modified accordingly.

Thanks! Actually makes me feel kind of old, haha...to think it's been three years since then is ridiculous.
this is my potential final submission unless I make more mods before the 27th. I like how it turned out and keeping inline with the games, seeing as faulkner's prized pokemon was his dad's pidgeotto if I recall correctly, looks a 100x better now I recoloured hair to match the mane.
Decided to play around recolouring the clothing as well...
unsure which version to submit now lol
the yellow/gold robes looks more in line with wings but maybe it's too much gold?

Nice sprites being submitted. Now, it may seem like I took the easy way out, but this was actually a lot harder to do than it looks :/

I was thinking of that idea crimson, but I found it very difficult to implement, hence going for the faulkner sprite, kudos for pulling off the sprite :D Looks a lot better than my attempts at it
EDIT: Is photobucket down? all my sprites I uploaded and IMG tagged to this topic have dissappeared from my posts, they're in the edit post screen but not appearing when I view post normally and Firus' have dissappeared too :/ is it just me?
EDIT2: Seems photobucket is down. made imageshack account and reuploaded the last prompts sprites I made

Round 10 Scores!

Ndayday - Nboar
F8AL: Your sprite is kind of amusing and it looks half-decent, but it's not much different from Emboar and you could've added more to it to improve it.
Firus: Interesting sprite (and nice pun with the name), but you could have worked with the sprite more. The green beard works surprisingly well, and the hat fits Emboar similarly surprisingly. I also like the yellow to gray color change. However, I think a recoloring of the orange and red on Emboar would have gotten the overall theme across better. You also could have altered Emboar in other ways to resemble N. Overall, the sprite looks good – I just would have done more with it.
Neon Ness: Funny. The beard recolor is good but at the same time I wish that green could have been incorporated more elsewhere in the sprite. It actually looks nice paired with the red/orange. Overall the torso still looks a lot like original Emboar, so I think more could have been done to incorporate parts from N, like his clothing or even the way he’s standing.
F8AL: 6/10
Firus: 6/10
Neon Ness: 6/10
FINAL: 6/10
Meta-Kirby - Zohralia
F8AL: The colors are amazing on this sprite. They go well with each other and I can definitely tell the resemblance between the trainer and pokemon. Awesome work, as usual!
Firus: You really infused Zoroark into Dahlia’s sprite here. You recolored her well to resemble Zoroark and chose the colors for each piece such that they work together instead of one overwhelming the other. I really like that her jacket even resembles fur and almost fuses with her body – that, plus the natural blending of Zoroark’s “hair” as her own practically makes her look like a werewolf, Zoroark-style. Great job with this.
Neon Ness: Amazing sprite—a lot of fine details complete this fusion. The way her hair and clothes have been restyled to resemble Zoroark’s fur is incredible. You even changed her eye makeup which I didn’t notice at first glance. I like that you included more magenta in her outfit than gray since it causes the sprite to stand out more as a whole. I can’t think of many ways this costume could have been done better, myself.
F8AL: 8/10
Firus: 9/10
Neon Ness: 9/10
FINAL: 8.67/10
Daddy Ash - Faulketto
F8AL: First of all, I love the combination of colours you picked for this sprite. The wings look like they naturally belong on the trainer and everything looks clean and professional.
Firus: You have a solid sprite here which suffers from a few flaws. I like what you did to Faulkner, really transforming him into a Pidgeotto; I like the addition of the wings and the crest on the head, and I like how you recolored his entire body to become the tone of Pidgeotto’s feathers, and recolored his feet to resemble talons. The hands are a little awkward, though; since they stayed flesh-toned, they clash with everything else. You might’ve even taken them off altogether to further accomplish the bird effect. I also might’ve recolored the face as well, but that doesn’t stand out too much. Aside from that, the sprite is pretty well-done; the crest is a little strange-looking at the top, but overall it looks pretty good. The only other complaint I have is that there are some trash pixels here and there that detract from the look of the sprite – make sure to erase those scrap marks when you make a sprite. Other than that, good job with the sprite!
Neon Ness: I really like how this idea turned out. He looks like an emperor, with the Pidgeot wings/crest as a fancy headdress. The outfit is mostly well done in ornamentation and color. I think the outer edges of the wings would look better red, the brown is out of place in the outfit as a whole. The edge of the headcrest is a little rocky above the eye but it’s good for the most part. Overall I appreciate the regal look the entire outfit has.
F8AL: 9/10
Firus: 7/10
Neon Ness: 8/10
FINAL: 8/10
CrimsonFeint – Crasher Champ
F8AL: At first glance, I can see what you were trying to achieve here with this sprite. You've successfully fused both the trainer and pokemon together into a unified and colourful sprite.
Firus: I’m surprised this fusion idea never occurred to me – clever idea, given the similar anatomies and concepts of Crasher Wake and Machamp. You executed it pretty well, too. The extra set of arms blends in pretty naturally, and while Machamp was thoroughly used, Crasher Wake is still clearly present in the sprite. I would’ve either added Crasher Wake’s wristbands to Machamp’s arms as well, or removed them from Crasher Wake’s arms, just for some continuity, but it doesn’t hinder the sprite too much. The shading at the top of the right boot (his left) is also a little off – I would’ve used a thinner line of light shading – but it isn’t too noticeable. Overall, you did a great job with the sprite.
Neon Ness: Straightforward but effective, and the combined pose is awesome. The fusion was a good choice since Wake and Machamp apparently have the same body build. The only issues I notice are around the right leg, the outline looks oddly thick on his side and the region where the leg and pants meet looks off. The wristbands are a nice touch, though I wonder why the lower arms are missing them. You did a good job making him look like a costumed wrestler without overcomplicating the sprite.
F8AL: 7/10

Hardest prompt yet in my opinion. This was really difficult to integrate because there is no small-sized pixel versions of the meme faces to my knowledge, so I had to reduce the size and then touch everything up myself before I could do anything else. Really made me work this time around!

and awesomeface.Thanks
I had same problems crim. really wasn't a fan of this prompt but I decided to make an attempt regardless, probably my worst sprite to date but really despise meme faces with a passion especially on such a small canvas such as a pokemon's face.
Anyway here's my attempt at the prompt
If I get some more inspiration or a miraculous gift for spriting meme's before end date I will resubmit new entry, if more than likely I don't feel free judge this
*crosses fingers* Hopefully will get back on track next week

Still not my favourite sprite idea, but looks better than last one I uploaded.
EDIT: Reworked the mouth with colour, looks better and more in keeping with the real wobbuffet's original sprite mouth

And that's the end of the submissions!
This was kind of a strange and difficult prompt, so props to Daddy Ash and CrimsonFeint for putting up entries. My friend just suggested the prompt to me and I thought it might be interesting to see, and a way to branch off from the typical fusion/retype/etc. of Pokémon spriting.
Judging will be posted Wednesday!
