Sprite Battles

Hi it's reshiram here and I have decided to host a sort of art battles here... How they will work is I will post an extremely hard to make sprite involving multiple pokemon (likely a fusion, which is when you combine the sprites of two or more pokemon. a simple way to do this is to use one sprite as the base and add parts from other sprites onto it.) then who ever wants to posts a sprite made with the pokemon I mentioned (and you should point out what pokemon pieces are where so I know you used all the pokemon) and I'll say who won. This isnt pointless because you get a ribbon if you win. And did I mention you get 200 Dream Tokens if you win?

current contest:King

current entries:Phanpy220, EpicNinjaBear

Hmmm sounds good to me shame I draw instead of sprite edit D= I think we need a sprite section within the art area to move these kinda posts to, to keep it more neat etc. One other thing I know it might sound obvious what a fusion is but a description would be handy to anyone new to spriting or art as a whole =3

ITS TIME FOR A CHALLENGE!

To start off difficult, here is your sprite challenge. Keldeo + Terrakion + Virision + Cobalion + Shaymin sky form.
if you finish your sprite just enter it and say "Ultomion"

I'm joining!

knew you would join. i am interested to see how you will handle having 5 pokemon to fuse....

I am done -


Ultomion

I tried to make it as cute as possible .

Other post -
Head - Shaymin and keldeo elements in face, mostly shaymin snout with parts of Keldeo's face and moth, from 2 different shaymin sprites. The horns are Terrakion, evidently, and are the same pink as the petal coming out of virizion's neck. In between the horns of Terrakion is the head poof of shaymin with virizion parts and some mild scratching (do I get points off for that?), The mouth is Shaymin's.
Body - The chest ruff is from Cobalion, with the shoulder spike as well which is now recolored green. The front hooves are almost unaltered virizion legs, which are slightly lighter than the originals to make contrast. The scarf belongs to shaymin and the back legs are Cobalion's, but the one in the shadow is partly scratched and has part of virizion's lef attacked to it. It has keldeo's tail and some of the back's shape from terrakion.

id say its good but i think the final decision is up to admins.... so we will see. by scratching you mean you added on something thats not from any pokemon that you made by your self right?

how long until more entries are entered?

Good question. Idk and i cant enter since I am the host. but just advertise this tournament so we can get more entries.

Don't think I can't have fun with this. ;D
...I hate the Musketeer Quartet even more because of this sprite. ;_;

cool

Heres mine: There is a colored and un- colored version so you know what I used.
Btw, It's name is Bisarius

looks good

well todays monday so i guess its time to choose the winner. i will consult with.... probably aizen to see who wins.

Would Using the color of one of the pokemon count as you using a part the pokemon?

no. sry. you have to use the parts of every pokemon.

epicninjabear: appeal (10 out of 10) scratching (8 out of 10) flow (9 out of 10) bonus: scratching use (3) - 30 the mouth doesnt flow very well.

awakening: appeal (8 out of 10) scratching (10 out of 10) flow (10 out of 10) - 25 sorry but next round there will be more bonus points, awakening.

moo: appeal (8 out of 10) scratching (8 out of 10) flow (10 out of 10) - bonus: scratching use (5) -31

these will from now on be the 3 elements in my grading.

i didnt grade very harsh this time but next time ill be a little more strict.... if you want better appeal use brighter colors like epic did. if you want better scratching points dont scratch anything on your sprite like awake, who used only pokemon sprite parts. to get high flow points make the whole sprite look like everything belongs together and its not all meshed up. bonus points will only be givin if i see you did good on something and if you have questions about how to get bonus points like scratching use feel free to ask but if you could try to ask me in the chat box or PM me. remember ill be more strict next round so be carefull.

note: flow category was at first originality category but because of evans suggestion i have decided to change it. i also had to change the scores some to fit the category. i still went easy since this is the first round.


moo won so congrats moo. ill make your ribbon and i guess you need to let flash know since he controls DTS.

Congrats Moo! For the record I thought everyone's sprite was great.

same here buck but i had to have a winner.... i should have givin a little lower for some stuff but i was being generous.... next round wont be so easy.... which reminds me.... >

next challenge is the king. of all pokemon. goes over arceus in standards. the guardians (so to speak) of each region. arceus genosect rayquaza ho-oh and mewtwo. theme: tough. if you go along with the theme and make your sprite look tough ill give you some bonus points. and if you scratch put it to good use if you want to earn your points back. you must tell if you scratched.

good luck and if you think of anything that can improve my points system to make it more accurate to pinpointing the winner, please do tell.

This is just my opinion, but I don't see how Originality is relevant. They're all different sprites made by different people. And you gave them Pokemon to use. If you had said use specifically Normal type Pokemon, then Originality would come into play. But since your supplying the Pokemon, I don't see how 'originality' is valid criteria. May I suggest flow, how 'together' the sprite seems? I think that would be much more valid.

hm.... flow you say? ok.... ill change the originality to flow but that seems a little frustrating to judge.... well i guess ill live lol.

this is my entry. im sure most of you have seen it. it has Mewtwo's body, Ho-oh's head mohawk thing, Rayquaza's Arm's, Genosect's Legs, and a part of Arceus's head for a tail. It has Rayquaza's coloring, and i did not scratch.

Congrats Moo! If this was a vote I would have voted for your sprite .

I want to join the next one!
