WSC Megathread IV ~ Challenges #5 and #6 underway! - Page 6

Ice-cold Claws · Sep 22nd, 2012, 9:18:53 PM

This is making me feel really guilty but at the same time really frustrated. Here in Asia we're nearing our end-of-year exams, dammit, and I'll try to squeeze out some time to do this tonight (i.e. within 12 hours).

sorry (but not like anyone's gonna miss me anyway :P)

Guys, I really like this thread, the sprites, the polls, but if only one person does a sprite, then it's just wasting their time, as there are no more entrants. Therefore, I suggest a break from this competition as school and exams are interfering with this thread.

Take this, or leave this, this is just what I think.

**RitterCat** · Sep 23rd, 2012, 4:45:24 AM

Discussions are currently going on about what might happen with WSC (I need to talk to some more people about what might happen) and currently you're right that schools/exams are taking their toll.

I'm gonna leave this week open for a further 24 hours if people want to get in some last minute submissions (like ICC), but then it will be a review week, where people can post their ideas about what we can do with WSC. We have some ideas atm, but I want to see what you guys think.

Feel free to start talking before this week officially ends; get the discussion flowing!

Also Eagle4 try not to be so blunt, it comes off as brash and rude

Espeon65 · Sep 23rd, 2012, 11:27:30 AM

~~i have one nearly finished, but i don't know how to change it to .png format. Can someone PM/VM or just tell me right here how to do it? thanks in advance~~

EDIT: Wait i got it. Here it is:

\

Sorry it's not transparent. it's a Golem (ground), a Gyarados (Water), a Togekiss (Flying), and a Cyndaquil (Fire). It is recolored sort of like a messed up Togekiss, lol.

shstakvchlvr · Sep 23rd, 2012, 3:37:18 PM

I kinda agree with Eagle4, though. I've finished university so all I do now is work so I have lots of free time to do spriting, but I get disappointed when I make a sprite and have no competition. Maybe instead of removing this thread completely it could be revised from a "competition" thread to a "challenge" thread. That is, a weekly poll wouldn't be made, but ideas for sprites would still be posted (maybe even twice a week, or two "challenges" at once) so that people who want to test their skills (like me) could still come and try out new things.

Ice-cold Claws · Sep 23rd, 2012, 7:04:52 PM

Raw WIP here, but if you think it's time out, you can just take this one as a final. This is my shame

Anyway shstak, good idea. I think at the rate this is going, the challenge system would be much more appropriate.

**RitterCat** · Sep 24th, 2012, 9:52:32 PM

CLOSED, REVIEW WEEK IS NOW IN FULL STEAD
shtak's idea is looking good at the moment. Anyone else want to weight in on that/post their own ideas?

Brutaka · Sep 24th, 2012, 10:47:17 PM

Hm. To be honest, Challenge threads, while pretty cool and a good idea on paper, it usually doesnt stay active for long.

Then again, this thread isn't all that active in the first place...

**RitterCat** · Oct 7th, 2012, 9:58:41 PM

<+Veemon> RITTER ITS REVIEW WEEK NOT REVIEW FORTNIGHT AND A HALF
Okay so WSC is going to become a thread of challenges, not strict competition. The time periods between challenges won't be as hard set. Also, user topics will be very welcome, feel free to pm/vm me or RODAN with a topic or hit us up on irc! HOWEVER, this will not be a total move away from competition
When a challenge ends, points will be awarded to users who have excelled in the challenge. These will go towards an overall tally that may eventually grant you some prizes!
I will post the tally occasionally and it will also be in the second post of this thread at all times!

With that, the first new topics/challenges:

Challenge #1: Make a fusion of a Pokemon under a metre in height (the first 3 groups on this page) and a Pokemon over 3 metres in height (anything from group eleven on the same page)

You want the page of heights again? Here!

GET SPRITING!

Rodan · Oct 7th, 2012, 10:10:52 PM

aha!

a challenge you say?

challenge #2: devamp a gen 5 pokemon into the style of gen 3

Ice-cold Claws · Oct 14th, 2012, 2:55:53 AM

Finished Rodan's first.

Darkrayer · Oct 16th, 2012, 1:03:01 PM

(RitterCat)Fusion with
Swoobat : 0.9m
Dragonair : 4.0m

Espeon65 · Oct 16th, 2012, 4:44:51 PM

I worked hard on this, and I like how it came out. It is made from Mismagius (0.9 m) and Milotic (6.2 m). I hope you like it! (Sorry about the non-transparent background...I don't know how to do that)

shstakvchlvr · Oct 29th, 2012, 5:38:37 PM

I'm back! For Ritter, I give you Digatina!

SubwayJ · Oct 30th, 2012, 4:30:03 PM

No one can compete with the weirdness of Solosonix

EDIT: This is for Ritter's challenge BTW xD
Solosis<1M
Onix>3M

Espeon65 · Oct 30th, 2012, 4:49:16 PM

Holy shit Subway that's awesome! The name could use some work, though...

shstakvchlvr · Nov 1st, 2012, 1:17:53 AM

SubJ, the face outlines could use some work, honestly. I understand that's how the Solosis line works, but the jaw really looks unnatural here. Fix it up and it'll look great!

Espeon65 · Nov 21st, 2012, 9:33:29 PM

What happened to this place? D:

EDIT: I missed my 1/2k D: this is it.

chrysthehamster · Dec 15th, 2012, 3:05:40 AM

em... its not transparent if thats ok...i hope its not too late is it?

here's whimsibok arbok (3.5m), whimsicott (0.7m)

ya

Rodan · Dec 15th, 2012, 5:48:58 AM

alright
lets get this back on track

NEW THEME: FUSE ONLY ALTERNATE FORMES OF POKEMON

IE ROTOM-W GIRATINA-O

**RitterCat** · Dec 15th, 2012, 6:01:42 AM

OTHER NEW THEME: Retype a Normal-type Pokemon to a dual-type (neither type can be Normal)

As the only entrant to Rodan's theme, Ice-cold Claws wins

And congrats to SubwayJ on winning my challenge with Solosonix!

This means we can start up the Weeklyish Spriting Challenge leaderboard!

Quote:

Weeklyish Spriting Challenge Leaderboard
Ice-cold Claws: 1 point
SubwayJ: 1 point

chrysthehamster · Dec 15th, 2012, 6:11:08 AM

just a question. with sawsbuck are all his forms considered alternate or just some? if so, which?

**RitterCat** · Dec 15th, 2012, 6:33:49 AM

I'd say all can be considered alternate

chrysthehamster · Dec 15th, 2012, 12:48:13 PM

Beacause i had nothing to do this afternoon

so a face hugging parasitic creature using fire castform, spd deyoxys and winter sawsbuck called parabulbus for rodan's challenge

and a fire/ice cincinno using emboar, darmanitan, vanilluxe and beartic affectionately known as burnicino for ritter's

YAY
