Alright, now that we have four contestants, I shall kick this off.
In the words of that one guy's uncle... IKU ZE! (also, anyone who wants to join can join until the first round ends. The deadline will always be the same, though.) |

Well, I'd ask you submit sprites during the rounds they are for, but if that's not the question you were asking, I'll say this: you may submit more than one sprite per round, but I'll only be judjing the best one. I may make an exception for two sprites that are in a closely related set, like plusle an minun. Does that answer your question? Last edited by Idno58; August 20, 2011 at 09:25:44 PM. |

"Too late" would be this Tuesday, which would be the start of round 2. You shall be accepted, but remember, ALL round 1 sprites are due tomorrow. Any later and there will be a penalty.

Okay, all entries have been submitted. It's Judging time.
Entry 1: Chibi. Skill: As a recolor/Taboo sprite, It's well done. However, the transparent part of a Taboo sprite is in the "Tattoo" part of the sprite, not the body. 8/10 Overall looks: Even though it's not a "conventional" Taboo sprite, everything flows together very nicely. I really like it. 10/10 Creativity: I commend you for being the only one brave enough to do a Taboo sprite. Also, Milotic is a very unusual choice for an all black-and-white recolor. 9/10 Overall Score: 27/30. __________________________________________________ _______________ 2nd Entry: SyracuvatTenlii Skill: The way you put together the gallade arms and the combinations of green and orange looked like you put some thinking into them. 7/10 Overall Looks: Unfortunately, I do believe the orange in the Combusken would have looked better as Gallade's white. The outlines of Combusken's wings look a bit iffy as well. I do like the pattern you put on the stomach, though. 6/10 Creativity: Gallade is a relatively mainstream pokemon, but Combusken is an odd choice. It it were me, I would choose Blaziken. 7/10 Overall score: 20/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 3rd Entry: Shiny Skill: Looking at this sprite, I can see effort and determination were put into it. The patterns on its side look hand-drawn. 10/10 Overall Looks: everything in this sprite flows together exceptionally. The visor and the markings on its luxurious red fur make it look regal and real. The cute tuft of fur on it's chest makes it look like something I'd want curled up in my living room. 10/10 Creativity: You'd might think combining two cats would be a non-creative choice, but over the years, I had completely forgotten Persian existed. And I never really liked Liepard, so I kind of Ignored it. 8/10 Overall score: 28/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 4th entry: GrasspokemonFTW Skill: This sprite doesn't look much different than the original. It actually looks kind of plain. I actually had trouble figuring out what parts were different about it. 6/10 Overall looks: That being said, Although it looks plain and simple, the plainness and simpleness works. I find it hard to put into words, but it is good. 8/10 Creativity: Putting your policy for only using grass pokemon aside, To me, Sawsbuck and Cuttom are pretty obscure grass types. I like the way you think. 8/10 Overall Score: 22/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 5th entry: Aquablast: Skill: All of the colors are similar here, but you managed to change them all. I have to commend you for that. 8/10 Overall looks: The problem here, though, is the fact that all the colors are almost Identical. I can't tell the difference between this and a regular garchomp unless you put the two side-by-side. Also, keeping the background white is a bad choice for a sprite. I recommend going to an imge editing site like Lunapic and turning the background transparent. 5/10 Creativity: Garchomp is a very mainstream pokemon, and Lucario even more so. This kind of relationship doesn't work for a recolor. It's better off with a splice. 6/10 Overall Score: 19/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 6th Entry: Yuxume Skill: I've recolored a pokemon as Flygon before, and I know how tough it is to get its eyeshields perfectly right. Keeping track of all his different shades of green is tough, too. But you pulled it off. 9/10 Overall Looks: I like this sprite. It's really cute. But I just have one problem with it. His stomach is very bare. It would be better if you kept Dragonite's belly scales and recolored the outlines of them. 7/10 Creativity: I like to think that Dragonite and Flygon are the best dragon-types of their series, but oddly enough, combining them had never crossed my mind. It's still kind of an obvious decision, though... 7/10 overall score: 23/30 Last edited by Idno58; August 22, 2011 at 11:44:39 AM. Reason: Typos |

SORRY, SO SORRY! I've been real busy with the beginning of school, what with the school screwing my schedule up and homework being assigned this early in the school year... X<
Anyways, my sprite: a Lilligant Idol (as in the Idols from D/P/Pt) |

Entry 1: Chibi
Skill: It looks like you put effort into it. 9/10 Overall looks: It looks like it would actually be in the game. 10/10 Creativity: As you probably know, there was already a roserade cosplay done in PBR, but you took a different approach. 8/10 Overall Score 27/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 2nd Entry: Shiny Skill: Upon the first look, it doesn't look too complicated, but every time I see it, I see something new. 7/10 Overall Looks: In my opinion, It doesn't look much different. I commend you for effort, but I can see a lot of things it cold be improved on. 6/10 Creativity: Not exactly something you'd expect someone to do. Although, I do vaguely remember doing something like this. 8/10 Overall Score: 21/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 3rd Entry: Aquablast Skill: Frankly, I don't see too much effort put into this. There's barely any splicing done and the outlines are pretty Garish. 6/10 Overall Looks: Oh, dear... This looks more like a recolor than anything else. I see several things I would've done to make it look better. I even told you how to get rid of the white background, and you didn't listen. Creativity: All that being said, I never saw this coming. This is a very creative sprite, although it has many flaws. 9/10 Overall Score: 19/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 4th Entry: SyracuvatTenlii Skill: I can see you put some great thought into this sprite. I commend you for it. 9/10 Overall Looks: However, some parts of this sprite are kind of glaring at me. The tail isn't exactly in the right place, and there's something on Claire's forehead, but I can't tell what. 6/10 Creativity: Yeah, when I think of Claire, the first pokemon I think of is Dragonair. But for some intangible reason, it clicks or something. 7/10 Overall Score: 22/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 5th Entry: Yuxume Skill: Oh, so that's what the thing on her forehead was. 8/10 Overall Looks: This sprite flows much better than the other Dragonair cosplay. (No offense to Tenlii) I love how you executed the spheres on Dragonair's tail in so many ways. 9/10 Creativity: The fact that this isn't a dragon trainer works with me. I still can't get over the creative uses for dragonair's tail spheres. 9/10 Overall Score: 26/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 6th Entry: GPFTW Skill: I really can't find any words for it, but 7/10 Overall Looks: Aww, it's cute. 9/10 Creativity: Leave it to grass to find a use for those tacky Idols. 10/10 Overall Score: 26/30 Last edited by Idno58; August 25, 2011 at 05:58:50 PM. |

Audino, Chinchou, and Butterfree, all recolored using Shiny Virizion's colors. Which, looking at it again, Audino doesn't look that much different, though it really is differently colored. Coming down off one of my highs, I realized just how hideous that truly was. So, I whipped up this little number that I'd rather be my entry. It combines Gothitelle, Gothorita, Shedinja, and Articuno. I feel it's very angelic, and even made Gothitelle/Gothorita's skin human-colored, instead of the pink it usually is. Oh, and the hair color is from Braviary. Last edited by Chibi; August 27, 2011 at 03:40:42 AM. |

Alright, here goes my entry:
Some of you might've seen this one. I misunderstood what the assignment for the first round was and... turned this one in instead. ^^;; But, this is my Kirlia disguised/dressed up/recolored/whatever you want to call it as a Meloetta. I spent a lot of time on this. (Partly because I kept messing up. xD) I was originally going to use Meganium's flower collar, but then decided to use Roselia's roses instead. The roses come from different sprites throughout the Generations. Apart from Roselia's blossoms, I used Shaymin's, Bellosom's, Deerling's, and Wormadam's flowers. There's a Paras mushroom there, too, and the bush comes from Grotle. The body is Torterra's, as one might clearly see, and I scratched the flower crown and the little lake there. And I used Roselia's main body color as well as their leg color for Lapras' body. Sorry if I gave too much info... ^^;; |

Hey, sorry to do this, and I hate looking like a poor sport, but I'm probably out of the running for the contest, and I have literally no experience in splicing pokemon together. Therefore, I'm going to have to drop out of this contest here. I think I'll be much more well-prepared for the next contest, though.

Okay, may the Judging Commence.
1st entry: Chibi Skill: I like the recoloring and the Additions you made. However, it kind of just looks like a Gothitelle with additions. (I barely even noticed you used a gothorita head, but that just could be my lack of BW playing recently.) 7/10 Overall Looks: That being said, it flows together very nicely. It gives a very Angelic, yet somewhat rebellious feel. 9/10 Creativity: Taking a lolita pokemon and turning it into an Angel seems like something you would expect, but it's hard to come up with that idea off the top of your head. 8/10 Overall Score: 24/30 __________________________________________________ _______________________ 2nd Entry: Shiny Skill: Wow, you put real effort into those rock cracks. It works, too. They look like what an official sprite maker would produce. 9/10 Overall Looks: The fact that you used two pokemon that have been somewhat forgotten, and have almost no correlation with each other, other than their shape, is amazing to see how it really works together so well. 10/10 Creativity: (see Overall Looks) 9/10 Overall score: 28/30 (Ha! I said 30 this time!) __________________________________________________ ______________________ 3rd entry: GPFTW Skill: Hold on, I wanna leave all the description in the Overall looks section... 10/10 Overall Looks: *er-hem* 10/10 Creativity:....nice job. I only have one teensy little problem with this sprite. Hydreigon's mane doesn't work that well with latios' head... but I'll let it slide. You did well. 9/10 Overall Score: 29/30 __________________________________________________ _____________ 4th Entry: Yuxume (Each Sprite is better in it's own way) Skill: Both Sprites are well done, however the Lapras sprite is reeeaally over the top. I like that. 9/10 Overall Looks: The Kirlietta sprite flows together extremely well. It looks like a real pokemon, and that's what like to see here. 10/10 Creativity: Hm.... 8/10 Overall Score: 27/30 __________________________________________________ _____________ 5th Entry: Aquablast Skill: I can tell it's an Azurill and a Skitty, but what are the colors from? Also, as promised, only fusing two pokemon gives you a mediocre score for skill. 6/10 Overall Looks: The green makes it look kind of disgusting. 6/10 Creativity: ...meh. 7/10 Overall Score: 19/30 __________________________________________________ ______________ ALRIGHT GUYS, That ends the primary section of the Sprite contest. Here are the rankings. 1st: Chibi: 78 points 2nd: Shiny: 77 points 2nd: GPFTW: 77 Points 3rd: Yuxume: 76 Points 4th: Aquablast: 57 points 5th: Tenlii: Retired. THIS MEANS that Chibi, Shiny, and Grass will be participating in the finals. Here is the final Theme: SUMMER-RELATED sprite: A sprite that just shouts "Summer." The vagueness of this theme is what makes it difficult. You could do anything, sun-loving grass-types, cool water-types, fun-having fire-types, Anything that has to do with summer. GO!

So...yeah. Not even remotely inspired to sprite at the moment, so I feel like I took the cheap easy way. If you think so too, Idno, you can give Yuxume my spot in the top 3.
Pokémon (whose sprites looked kind of like they were dancing) dancing in the light of Solrock. Meh. Sorry. |

Oh, and Chibi, if you're absolutely willing to give away your position, I can do that. (your 'entry' doesn't exactly cut the mustard. I see no spriting in it) |

Would this. Perhaps shout Summer?
I think so. The reasoning for the flaming sprite is due to the heat over here. i sometimes feel as if I'm on fire. Although that may be due to me not using sunblock. :I It also relates to wildfires we get during the summer when theirs dry brush and grass. I tried to be creative with the flames here. I gave them a more "tribal like" appearance. Last edited by Shiny; August 29, 2011 at 11:34:40 AM. |

Sorry it took so long! But I'm quite happy with the final product...ladies and gentlemen, I present Summer Azumarill!
Here, I fused Azumarill, Exeggutor, Castform (Sunny Forme), Bellossom, Solrock, and Charmeleon. The base of Azumarill is colored with Scrafty's colors. I hope you like! :3 |

I'm really sorry for the wait! Here are my entries:
-sob- I'm sorry... I just like spriting with flowers. T.T After this one, I'm a little sick of them, though. :b Also, I had to make the background blue so the extra parts would be visible. Sorry for the non-transparency. Ummm, not really my best, probably. It was fun, though, so it really doesn't matter. Last edited by Yuxume; September 4, 2011 at 07:51:42 PM. |

Thank you everyone. Now it's time for...
FINAL JUDGEMENT Entry 1: Shiny Skill: Wow. Look at this. It's so amazingly complicated. I can see lots of hand-drawn things... I'm not even sure I can do it. 10/10 Overall Looks: It flows together really well. As a Yu-Gi-Oh freak myself, I can really see this on the front of a card. 9/10 Creativity: Probably not what you were going for, but it reminds me of moths getting killed by bug-zappers. Which is a really big part of summer nights. Well played, shiny. 9/10 Overall Score: 28/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 2nd Entry: Grass Skill: I can see you put real thought into this sprite. 9/10 Overall Looks: This sprite really "pops." It catches the eye really well. If you put all these sprites side-by-side, I would see this one first. 9/10 Creativity: It reminds me of everything people look forward to when summer starts. Palm trees on sandy beaches, Flaming heat from the noon sun, cooling off in the waves, and getting a good tan. It's pretty deep when you think about it. 9/10 Overall Score: 27/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ 3rd Entry: Yuxume (I'm more willing to take this sprite than the gardevoir, because the flowery gardevoir is more spring-oriented. Not summer) Skill: That surfboard intrigues me. Did yo make it yourself? Even if you didn't, I would have overlooked shading it. 9/10 Overall Looks: Of course it all flows smoothly. 9/10 Creativity: Unfortunately, surfing pikachu is very common. The winking is a nice touch, though. 7/10 Overall Score: 25/30 __________________________________________________ _______________ Entry 4: ME! .....I just wanted to show off.
ANYWAY
