The Smash Grand Festival Spriting Contest (Closed)

[Spire]

I was more or less kidding, but if nobody submits a sprite at 11:58 it's almost a free Premier Ball for anyone.

I mean... yeah, that's how it works. Just remember that your premier ball will be forever scathed as a trophy for being a complete amateur, and a lucky one at that.

Well derp. I'll actually compete once I feel semi-acquainted with spriting so.

 

[CT Chia]

Almost done, I'm fairly pleased with how this is coming out considering it's my first scratch sprite
any guesses on what type im doing?

I only have a 10% chance of guessing correctly without Serene Grace.

Also for the sake of the participants, would a Normal-type Eeveelution count?

 

[Firus]

Yes, a Normal-type Eeveelution would be fair game.

Here is my entry

Eidoleon
[ahy-dol-ee-on]

Eidoleon is the ghost evolution of Eevee. It's quite sad, as Eidoleon isn't necessarily a alive being tied to the gravestone that was once meant for Eevee. Through death it has grown, though now dull and monotonous, it now has supernatural powers from beyond the grave.

Eidoleon - A play on the word Eidolon, which is a synonym for ghost. The word is then coupled with the familiar "eon" suffix found on all Eevee evolutions.

Behind the sprite - I wanted to showcase a couple other things about the sprite you can't see in it's form. I put some additional detail into the gravestone as I picture an animation for such pokemon would have it circling around the gravestone. You aren't missing out on anything with the section of the body you don't see, as Eidoleon has no legs and is sort of just a section of a slightly more enhanced Eevee (the form inspired by Leafeon) swimming through the air. The halo that sits a top it is similar to Shedinja's, though recolored and reshaped to fit this sprite. What I like about this is the gravestone, here is a picture of it without Eidoleon in the way:

While it makes sense to have the name at the top, I moved it to the bottom so you can see it easier in the sprite, while it still looks appropriate. The bottom four japanese characters spell out Eevee, showing that it was a grave for a deceased Eevee to which Eidoleon has tied itself to. The top characters are meant to be generic writing, nothing specific written out, except for the bottom-right 5 characters spell out CHIBO, sort of like a little easter egg I threw in there.

I haven't made a write-up about a sprite like this before, I only wanted to for this one since it required a lot more creativity and I wanted to explain my thoughts behind it being a new pokemon instead of just modifying past ones.

Looks more like a Furret evolution. That said, he's cute.

 

[CT Chia]

Furret was one of the inspirations for it yea

I was originally going to make the end fade off more ghost like, but I didn't want to get too detailed and end up messing it up.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Darn it, I guessed wrong! It's not like I had a 90% chance of failure or anything.

Jokes aside, I really like it, Chibo! I would totally cuddle it. If it wasn't a ghost.

 

[CT Chia]

Every Eevee evolution needs a cuddle factor lol

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Every Eevee evolution needs a cuddle factor lol

Jolteon's needle fur and HGSS sprite.

 

[M.K]

Jolteon's HG/SS sprite looks like it's melting XD.

God this is a hard prompt. It's hard to make a totally new sprite without making it like....similar to any of the others.

 

[ndayday]

Hey, hey Chibo.

That sprite is awesome.

 

[Pink Reaper]

inb4 chibo wins by default?

 

[rPSIvysaur]

We still have an entire day...

 

[Fuelbi]

And if nobody enters by the deadline I'll just pull something out of my *** lol

 

[Tacel]

I'll make a Steel Eevee if I remember.

 

[Mic_128]

The top characters are meant to be generic writing, nothing specific written out

Really? Might want to take another look at the 2 letters before the Chibo 'Ch'

 

[Spire]

lol, infract him for censor dodging? Also, below the CH is IB and below that is O.

 

[CT Chia]

I chose random letters, and looking at those the letters are f v c h, obviously a mistake lol

 

[rPSIvysaur]

Banesleon

Took me such a long time... freaking scratch spriting, lol.

 

[Moozle]

Nice job rPSI I like the pose.

 

[UltiMario]

Maaaaaaan.

I know people are trying to work on this (including me), but so little has been actually submitted.

Can we get like another 24 hours or something? The extra day would be REALLY nice.

Please? :3

I'll promise to not start a mass revolution in the next 30 days if you do! Isn't that totally worth the deal? :3

 

[CT Chia]

man this has been goin on for like a week already

 

[UltiMario]

So what's one more day?

 

[rPSIvysaur]

You could just... hurry...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

man this has been goin on for like a week already

This just sounds like you want to see your scores / analysis earlier seeing as there are only two entries so far.

 

[Wave⁂]

Slippery slope.

 

[CT Chia]

That, and it sets a standard for any future prompt to get delay time

 

[rPSIvysaur]

That, and it sets a standard for any future prompt to get delay time

Me and Chibo did it on time, I don't see why you guys can't.

Introducing: Luckeon! (Ghost-Type Evolution)

Okay, so, this is kinda a farfetched idea, but I ran with it for fun. I recently read Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge. In this poem, an old Mariner and his crew become entrapped by ice on an expedition to Antarctica. When all hope seems lost, an albatross comes along and becomes (essentially) the "good luck charm" for the boat. The ice clears and the ship sails away. However, the Mariner ends up killing the albatross for reasons unknown.
From this point on, the Mariner is cursed. The winds stop blowing his ship, he can't find anything to drink, and his entire crew drops dead. Far along in the distance, the Mariner sees a ship with two ladies on it: one is Death, and the other Life-In-Death. Life-In-Death is shouting "I won! I won!". This shows that the Mariner was not to die, but simply pay a gargantuan penance during his lifetime.

So, basically, the concept of Life-In-Death and the "chance" of getting it comes through in Luckeon. Maybe Luckeon was an Eevee who Life-In-Death chose to be ridiculed, or maybe Luckeon evolves from the torture/sufffering of an Eevee.

The red and blue are supposed to look like colors associated with things of chance or trick, like gambling, jesters, or clowns. Luckeon is like a sad, yet somewhat evil pantomime.

A Pokedex entry would be:
Luckeon wanders the streets of cities without ambition for much. Just as chance itself turns people away, many consider Luckeon to be an evil omen.

 

[UltiMario]

Well it doesn't look like I'll be finishing this one.

I'll finish this eevee at another time then for ****s and giggles, I guess.

I liked the multi colored feet on MK's because my sprite was going to have Multi-colored feet lol

BTW I was doing ??? type. Oh well.

 

[M.K]

I kept having ideas and then realizing the type exists already.
They used all the good types

 

[UltiMario]

They didn't use Dragon yet.

Spoiler

lol old gen special types

 

[SilentVerse]

Well, I only just started to sprite things this week, but I guess I'll see how I do!

In retrospect, something like Normal would have been way easier imo, but ah well. In any case, it was cool spriting something from scratch for the first time.

 

[UltiMario]

I am in shock of simply SV submitting a sprite.

 

[Tacel]

Final submission.

EDIT: Okay. I literally JUST finished. I was watching the Dark Knight until like 11:20 so I had 40 minutes to make this. It's a steel typed Eevee. I planned on changing the ears and the stance but I ran out of time. It's bad, but it's better than nothing.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Why does it have a beard?

 

[Tacel]

Why does it have a beard?

It's the metallic jaw.
Yeah. It's bad.

Next time I will give myself more time.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

My plan has been foiled. Good luck to all the submissions!
