Silver League Sprite Contest [Eeveelution round - extended to 10/8]

i feel so honored to be the first submission. all of my hard work and dedication has paid off. getting the first submission has been a dream of mine for many years, and i would like to thank those who have helped me along the way.

The first devamp of yours truly.

Here's my entry. Getting the GBC colours to match was a real bitch.

Heres my Bagon devamp based on it's Ruby/Sapphire sprite.

trapinch was a bit of a sinch

I have been out of this for a while, haven't I?

A fairly straightforward devamp. Not a bad attempt, though the shade of green you used is too light to properly be an outline- the body would have been better off with it being solid black. The pink is distinct enough to stand out as is, but the light green is just too light. The shading itself is fine though.

The color choice for this is quite good. The black patches are to a nice effect on the orange-brown, but don't work quite as well on the whitish areas. What I really find issue with is that while the colors are nice, this is just a fancy recolor or the RS sprite. While you did make it smaller, it's only just barely, and the shading is almost the exact same as on the original. The original had some awkward shading in areas like the head, that are only more noticeable with the color palette you used. This is why I advise people to completely reshade their sprites, because the originals are not always perfect and the shading on older pokemon has changed through the years (see the DP or even BW versions of the Regirock sprites).

This is actually fairly good overall. Fitting color palette, and a nice use of dither shading make it look official. Only flaw I really picked up on is on the bottom left- you missed a pixel of outline, probably something you forgot to fix after resizing.

Not too bad of a sprite, but this is also very reminiscent of a recolor. It's not directly a recolor, since you did add in dither, but for the most part it's the same shades in the same places as the original. That doesn't make it bad, but a few flaws are evident, such as skipping out on using black outline on the front of the one foot. The shading on knee-hip area of the other leg is also rather flat.

(Why a bright pink background? I am now blind). The shading on this is a little too smooth to the point of looking more like a RBY sprite- one of the only two instances of dither was directly recolored from the RS sprite. The shading on its body is blocky and the shading on the legs doesn't fit the overall shape. It is a devamp, but the style and execution feel much more in line with RBY. The bright white on the back is also out of place for a highlight.

Next round; Evenly fuse two pokemon of the same type
End date; 1/15

So this is what I feels like to post the first submission... But, to the point:
Behold, a Dragon fusion of Dragonair and Flygon - Dragogon (Flyonair? ... I have no idea)! The Left Rayquaza-styled fusion is the actual submission.


Actually ignore the arrow, and what I said previously. Grade the pink dinosaur.

Skargar a 50/50 fusion of Skarmory and Gligar

Enjoy....also plz end my life.

Deoxys and Gardevoir fusion

What happened, what's the next round?

We each assumed the other was going to judge, so oops. I'll judge and post the next round on sunday.

(Judging is underway, but for now;)
Next round; Design a pokeball
End date; 1/29

I present to you the Light Ball the Light Ball gives the pokemon that is captured by said ball an increase in their Speed Stat and the definition of the ball is "Speed of Light" It has the catch rate of an Ultra Ball

Well, let's give a try. Come one, come all ! Feeling Lucky? Why not try the gamble Ball ! Re-roll the natures, abilities and IV's on any pokémon you catch !

The Magnet Ball. It has an increased catch rate for steel and electric types. Think of it as a counterpart to the net ball.

"The first Pokéball was, in fact, a spherical charm left for humans in Illex Forest by an ancient deity. It was to be a means of calling upon whenever humans were in danger but was instead used to lure the deity and steal its power. For the humans' insolence, they were banished to a hellish future of endless commercialism, hereditary laziness, and no living Pokémon.

"The charm itself was lost to the ages until, one day, it fell into the hands of a ten year old child."

"The Golden Sphere, they called it... And you can buy a perfect replica TODAY for only 1,000,000 poké (complete with authentic pendulum and belt-loop)!"

Introducing the Plasma Ball. Made for and by Team Plasma members because they wanted to be unique to aid them in their goal to liberate pokemon. Exclusive to the Unova region, these pokeballs can capture other trainers' pokemon for Plasma members to use. If the player manages to get their hands on one of these balls, they have a 1.5x catch rate (equivalent to a Great Ball) and increase friendship at a faster rate. In-game, the player cannot catch other trainers' pokemon without a special cheat code (because morals).

Soo if you need help with judging you could say something, I mean me and kitten were approved for judges. I can't speak for her, but I personally can help out if you guys are too busy.
