They are, but I don't know how to remove the previous postbit. I'm not sure if it's possible for regular mods.

Got you covered this time, but for future reference, on the same page that you give awards in, there's a list of people who already have the award on the bottom.

Firus was all like "I can't change that for regular Moderators." and then I was like "Well look at Chibo's profile." and then I was like "Oh right Chibo isn't a 'regular' Mod." since you're a SMod. But aisight solved stuffs.
You might want to do something with the colour scheme. Right now it's all over the place.

I feel like it's too Beedrill to tell that it's Caterpie, personally.

This is funny because I was going to fuse Caterpie and Drifblim for the last prompt but ran out of time. Now I still get to do Caterpie stuff, one of my fav pokemon.

Here's my submission:
Gentleman Caterpie

As I stated already, it'll be recolored, then shaded, then finalized.
Really? Alight, then maybe I'll just simplify this caterpie thing. But I'll finish this for later.
EDIT: Here's what I got so far. But I think it needs more of something...
Caterborg the Bounty Hunty
EDIT2: Aww no one joined besides Chibo. This is my final editing on Caterborg.

Round 20 scores! F8AL didn't get me his judging, so we're proceeding with just Neon Ness's and mine.
---------
vVv ChiboSempai – Gentleman Caterpie
Firus: Love the concept here; a gentleman is certainly awesome, and top hats and monocles go well on pretty much anything. In actual execution, however, there are some flaws; the most glaring flaw is the shading of the hat. Due to the fact that it almost entirely lacks shading, it doesn’t fit the rest of the sprite and looks out-of-place rather than attached to Caterpie’s head. The coat’s a nice touch, and the monocle is well-made, although if you’d perhaps made it a bit darker to distinguish it from the rest of Caterpie, I think it would be more effective. On first glance, it looked to me like Caterpie was missing his eye. Overall, although the sprite is simple, and despite some flaws, it’s a solid sprite which takes a good approach to the prompt.
Neon Ness: A really solid sprite with a unique direction, it has everything I'd expect from the traditional gentleman. The shading on the hat seems somewhat flat however, and oddly lighter than the rest of the sprite. Somehow the angle doesn't appear correct on how it sits on Caterpie's head either. The monocle is also hard to make out because most of it is as light as Caterpie's face, so maybe a slightly more defined outline would help separate the details in that area. No complaints about the bowtie and tux, I really like how those were implemented on such a small scale. Very classy.
Firus: 7/10
Neon Ness: 7/10
FINAL: 7/10
asage94 – Caterborg
Firus: I like the concept you were starting with here, but your sprite falls short in the execution of it a bit. Fusing Genesect with Caterpie is certainly a good start, but keeping Caterpie’s small size and only adding Genesect’s arms and color has somewhat of a negligible effect. Also, while the addition of Drifblim’s tail-esque piece seems good conceptually, in practice it comes out somewhat awkward; it took me a while to discern it as Drifblim’s tail rather than a strange foot of some sort. In addition, it’s fused onto the sprite on somewhat of a slant. Had it been slanted at all, I’d have had it slant the other way to match the curve of Caterpie’s body. The arms were fused well and the recolor was thorough, but you could have done so much more with this sprite; you could have added Genesect’s cannon, altered Caterpie’s antennae to be more intimidating, or even altered Caterpie’s expression; the way it is now, the sprite falls short of having that “awesome” feel to it.
Neon Ness: A good start, I only wish there was a bit more. In a prompt where you have freedom to make a Pokemon more awesome in any way you please, I was hoping for more than body parts recycled from other pre-existing Pokemon. The arm splicing is great, and it might've been nice to see all of Caterpie's legs changed in similar ways. The transition to Drifblim's tail is a little shaky, it looks oddly flat near the back edge and the outline color changes abruptly. Often times the face is the focal point of a sprite, but Caterpie's is unchanged besides the color, so I feel like there was a lot of room for creativity left unexplored. Overall, it doesn't quite have 'wow' factor yet.
Firus: 4/10
Neon Ness: 5/10
FINAL: 4.5/10

Congratulations to ChiboSempai for being the winner of Round 20 in his fourth Grand Festival victory! Congrats to Chibo for being the second to obtain the Luxury Ball postbit!

I've been busy with some things so I haven't been here in a while...the judging for the contest is obviously supposed to be posted tomorrow, but nobody's entered the contest.
So here's the question: has everybody just been too busy to make a sprite this week, or is there a lack of interest in the prompt? i.e., should I just extend the deadline, or should I just forget this prompt and put up a new one?

I forget why I didn't enter this. I think it was because I had no ideas for the prompt.

P.S., I'm aware that there isn't a large amount of interest in the spriting contest in general; that's pretty obvious from the fact that there are rarely more than two or three people entering a particular round. Nevertheless, if there's even two people entering in the contest, the contest can still run. Though I may not do much of it anymore, the spriting community has always been one of my favorite pieces of the PC and I'd very much like to keep something in the PC to allow for a spriting community to continue to exist.
It has come to my attention that some think I should just let this project -- and the PC -- die. (Not that this is a new sentiment, might I add.) Perhaps it's a waste of time to try and get feedback for the direction I should take with the project, but until this happens on a very regular basis or multiple weeks in a row, I'm not going to shut down the project; even if it is just the internet, I'm not big on giving up on something without a second thought. If I'm wasting anyone's time in doing that, it's my own, so I don't know why it's a matter of concern to those not invested in this forum or the project (and considering how small a portion of my life this takes up, it really isn't that much time).
I'd be more worried about visiting a section of the forum that I'm so sure is a lost cause just to laugh at the people who are trying to be productive, because frankly, I can't see what that's accomplishing.
---
Now. With that said, I'd appreciate any more productive feedback about the situation here. Ultimately, I'll probably post up a new prompt tomorrow and set the deadline for Friday the 18th, and if that flops too, I'll reconsider things from there. On a larger scale, if you have any suggestions for something to change about the contest -- perhaps a new/improved incentive or some sort of revamp to the contest -- then let me know either here or through VM/PM.

well, can you at least get the Elite Four subforum removed? Pretty safe to say that's dead and gone.

The PC needs more postbit tournaments.
It also, yeah, E4 Removed is great.
To be fair this prompt wasn't great. With a better prompt, I'll probably make something.
I really like the Premier Ball's looks, SO IMMA GETS IT. :3

I figured a fire retype was fairly simple, and fire is generally one of the easier types to do a retype of. People generally seem to prefer simple prompts to complicated ones, so I figured that would be a good one. I try to make prompts that you guys will enjoy, but I can't seem to figure out what those are. It'd be a great help to me if you guys could give me more of an insight into the type of prompts you enjoy.
I'll be posting up a new prompt by the end of the day, so any general -- or specific -- suggestions in the mean time would be appreciated. You guys can always message me if you've got a specific idea that you'd like to see as a prompt.

@Firus How about something in collaboration with the newly released Skyrim? Remix a Dragon-Type to make it more awesome. Like the Ballon sprite contest we did here?

I actually think that's a pretty interesting idea, and I like that it fits with Skyrim since half the gaming community has been looking forward to this for a while now.
Apologies for saying I'd post the prompt up on Wednesday and then not doing so, I was waiting to see if anyone was going to give me a better idea of where to go with the prompt and then when I didn't get any more suggestions, it slipped my mind.
Nonetheless, here's the prompt for the next round:

Interestingly enough, the one that I picture looking the most wtfbbq amazing is the least threatening.
Well, of the ones that are fully evolved.

I wasn't necessarily saying that threatening and awesome are synonymous, I was basically just trying to say that you should try to improve the dragon in some way. Because you definitely have a point; awesome and threatening are not necessarily the same thing.
Yeahh, that's true. I, unfortunately, will not be getting it for a while...I just recently got the ability to play Oblivion (one of my roommates lent it to me), and I still have so many games backed up (including the fifty or so I bought this summer on the Steam sales), so I really can't justify spending $60 on a new game right now, no matter how much I want it.
But I'm getting off-topic.
