The Smash Grand Festival Spriting Contest (Closed)

[Spire]

So I noticed that when I look in the group memberships, I can change my group to skilled spriter, but when I tried it, it didn't do anything.

Is that for any reason or something?

The postbit icons are currently in a temporary stasis where they are attached to unidentifiable user groups (as you have pointed out). We are working on recoding the awards system so that we can dissolve these phantom user groups and the icons may find new and hopefully permanent refuge as actual awards.

Here is mine:

It's a mix of Porygon-Z and Otamaro

Otamagon-Z

I honestly hope this wins, so much better than the rest, especially mine. This thing is awesome :D

 

[Fuelbi]

Ah I see. Thanks for telling me then

Ahh, shutup Fuelebi, yours is still better than mine
u bro?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I really like all of the designs so far, but Riddle's Magnezone+Porygon is quite appealing / amazing / awesome.

 

[M.K]

Utilized Turtwig and Roopushin to create Turtooshin. Green coloring is given by Turtwig.

Budoir.

My fingers are crossed for either of the Porygon line fusions.

 

[Moozle]

Those last two are amazing! I think I'm going to try to learn how to sprite so I can be a part of this

 

[Charmander]

I felt edits were needed, the head and foreleg for example

More like trapinch now? :3

I recommend Fuelbi as a mentor.

Part of me really feels like requesting that you put Trapinch's shell on its back. The only problem is you'll probably have to cut off some of Swampert's tail thing, which would probably look awkward.

I'm requesting only because the combination would somehow make it look like a pretty legit turtle, which means you would have taken two Pokemon and combined them to make something completely different. Which is freaking awesome.

EDIT: ****, Trapinch's shell probably won't even fit on its back (or at least not cleanly). I didn't realize that until a second glance. >< Nonetheless I feel like it does need something else in that area. Not sure what though.

EDIT2: Actually, I do have an idea but I don't want to say it in case it's against the rules (it seems like something that would be, even if it's not written).

 

[Tacel]

Okay. I need some advice for my sprite:

I need help on the anatomy of Caterchamp:
So, I need to make this sprite primarily green. Got it. But, Caterpie's little limbs are a yellowish color, so I should make Machamp's limbs yellowish as well. But, if I make Machamp's gigantic arms yellowish, the sprite will be primarily yellowish. I can either not follow Caterpie's anatomy and make the arms green, I can leave off the arms and make the sprite awkward, I can follow Caterpie's anatomy and not follow the prompt (which I shouldn't do), or I could just do whatever and tint the whole thing green in the end.
Also, I'm not sure if I got the lower body right.

 

[Fuelbi]

I dunno, it seems that only the arms are colored not green, and imo it really doesn't make it not primarily green.

But then I dunno if I haven't really seen the sprite

 

[ndayday]

I'd color the Machamp section Caterpie green. If you were going to color anything on Machamp Caterpie's underside-yellow, it'd be a continuation of the underside of Caterpie onto Machamp's body imo.
Besides I think it'd make the head fit in much better.

Funny sprite though, lol.

 

[Fuelbi]

Damn I lost when I saw that sprite. If you continue the coloration, it'd be much better

EDIT:

And yeah... I ain't winning this time seeing all the competition I have >_<

 

[Charmander]

Awesome image

**** just got real dude, got real.
We must all submit to this awesome

 

[CT Chia]

I'm surprised at how awesome so many of the sprites look this round
It's going to be really tough on the judges lol

@Tal I think the problem with your image is that the parts clash too much, but it looks hilarious. Once you merge the colors appropriately it will look a lot better.

 

[Tacel]

Thanks for your help, Ndayday!

It does help the head fit in better.
This is not my final submission. It's open for critiques.

 

[Fuelbi]

I still think the bottom half clashes a bit too much with the top half so maybe I'd work a bit on the tights or something I dunno

 

[Tacel]

Before:

After:

Does the bottom half look any better?

EDIT: I changed where the tights and the Caterpie meet.

 

[Fuelbi]

I can't tell the difference :X

 

[UltiMario]

Yeah that looks better.

EDIT: I changed where the tights and the Caterpie meet.

Are my eyes bad or is the green on the torso different than the green on the bottom half? That's the only thing I can really nitpick about. If you're using GIMP or Photoshop it might be good to use the eyedropper tool to make sure they look the same. I'm not wearing my glasses though, so... I dunno.

Other than that though I wouldn't change a thing about it lol, it's good.

Slight revision. Budew's face is still weird looking though :C

 

[Fuelbi]

I'm pretty sure they're all the same shade of green

Spoiler

or if not you'd have disappointed me my student

 

[Tacel]

Well since the deadline is tomorrow and I'll probably be busy with school tomorrow, I submit this Caterpie:

Thanks for the advice, guys!

 

[Terywj [태리]]

So. Many. Good. Sprites.

I wish there were more Judges. That would be cool to see a mixed variant of opinions and critiques.

Good luck to all!

 

[Sir Bedevere]

*jumps out*

This looked like fun so I decided to enter. :D

Hitomoshi+Exploud=Exploshi!

If the deadline hits and I haven't revised it, this will be my final submission.

Spoiler

And here's a sprite I was going to enter with until I realized they were both stage 3 Pokemon (read: asajgdkfljglfljfljfvjg). It's the Green Lantern (Shandera+Poliwrath):

[collapse=Green Lantern]

[/collapse]

 

[Circa]

Omfg, it's the Cave of Wonders dipped in chemical waste and turned into a hot rod.

And it makes no sense at all, but I ****ing love it.

 

[UltiMario]

And Sir Bedevere jumps out of ****ing nowhere and gains the lead.

Where the **** did that come from.

 

[CT Chia]

wtf who knew sir bedevere could sprite
those r amazing

man we need more judges for this round
they are all so freicken amazing

 

[The Real Gamer]

That Poliwrath is amazing it's giving you the middle finger!!!

 

[canvasch]

I've only ever lurked here but this seems fun, so...

Here is my submission (ghastly and roobushin)

and here is just another that I made first but didn't really like (vanipeti and ampharos)

 

[Fuelbi]

God damn you Bedevere, any chances I had of winning you and you swiped it right in my grasp


...I hate you

 

[Terywj [태리]]

man we need more judges for this round

Convince Firus and Spire to get more judges! Maybe Zook?

Also, Sir Bedevere has participated during the PokeCenter Spriting Contests and I'm also sure he made the Hall of Fame. Get with the times, Chibo.

 

[ndayday]

These are awesome, awesome sprites.

MAN.

 

[Spire]

Wow, this week's turnout has been fantastic. We'll get the results up as well as the new prompt by night's end.

 

[CT Chia]

Can we get explanations at the same time as votes tonight?
who cares about details on round 1 since r2 is over

There's a lot of submissions, though.

Spire, what are your opinions on getting maybe an extra Staff to serve as another judge? Maybe Zook or someone?

 

[Fuelbi]

who cares about details on round 1 since r2 is over

Chibo, I care. It'd still be nice to know where I went wrong on Monbipom

 

[CT Chia]

i was sort of joking by it, but i would think critique on r2 should be more of a priority now.
