~*~The Smogon Weekly Spriting Contest~*~

Because random symbols can make anything look better

Officially approved by Firestorm and Doomsday

Banner by Dragonknight!

Welcome one, welcome all to the one and only Smogon WSC! A Spiritng Contest (And Possibly an Art Contest if we can be bothered to make one) for all you aspiring digital artists to compete and improve your abilities.
Week 12

This Week's Theme: Back to the past

Description: a standard fusion, with one exception you may only use (Kabuto, Kabutops, Omastar, Omanyte, Aerodactyl, Relicanth, Lileep, Cradily, Anorith, Armaldo, Cranidos, Rampardos, Sheildon, Bastiodon, Tropius, Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Regigigas)

Credit goes to Ninjabait - in effect as of Week 5:

General Rules

1. All Smogon Forum Rules Apply.

2. You're not allowed to ask when the next contest will be out, or when the next poll will be up.

3. If your entry is turned down, no whining, it broke the rules, get over it.

4. Stealing artwork is prohibited. If you are found to be stealing, you will be disqualified and banned from the current WSC contest, banned for five WSCs after two instances, and permanetly banned after three instances.

5. Have a question, or want to suggest a rule or theme? Feel free to post in the current WSC or PM a judge about it.

6. You are not allowed to reserve spots. There is not a limited amount of entries, and this just clogs up the thread with postcount++ posts, which are spam, if you haven't figured.

7. This isn't a comment thread. Quoting a sprite just to say that it looks good and contributing nothing to the topic, this is counted as spam. Constructive Criticism is exceptable, however.

8. If you have a problem, take it to PM. We don't want you spamming up the topic.

9. Please don't disrupt this thread (i.e. asking stupid questions repeatedly, trolling, etc). Repeated offenses can get you temporary bans from the WSC.

Pariticipation Rules

1. All entries must fit the theme. The Theme will be specified at the top of the first post.

2. All entries should fit the size restraints. A DPPHGSS styled sprite is 80x80, a GSCRSEFRLG styled sprite is 64x64, and a RBYG styled sprite is 54x54.

3. We'd prefer if your entry has a transparent background. It is still acceptable for a white background, though, it's just not preferred. If you want to make a sprite transparent, use the programs Paint.NET, Graphics Gale, GIMP, www.iaza.com, or Adobe Photoshop. MS Paint cannot make something transparent.

4. All entries should be saved as a .png for not animated weeks, and a .gif for animated weeks. .bmp and .jpg/.jpeg distort the qualit of the image, and program exclusive files cannot be uploaded to Photobucket, Imageshack, or Tinypic.

5. As a note about editing your entries: Editing is allowed, but only in small doses, such as small touch-ups to the outline, changing the colors, or shading fixes are acceptable. Completely changing your entry is not allowed.

Judge and Voting Rules and Notes

1. If you want to be a judge, just ask - simple enough. You will become a judge if all the other judges decide so, and/or if a judge doesn't mind subbing out.

2. Judges are allowed to enter the contests, but during judging, they are not allowed to nominate themselves for a poll spot, most humorous, or most original.

3. You are not allowed to vote for yourself on the poll. Anyone caught doing this will have their entry for the poll revoked, and the next runner up in the voting to take their place.

The Current Roster of Judges is:
Pink, XandZero2 ,Teh_1337ness, TVboy Canti, Dragonknight! and Igor.

Deadline

The deadline is November 25, 2009 at 4:30PM EST. You have seven (7) days to get your entry in. After the deadline, judges will pick finalists, and a poll will be started over the course of 3 days to decide the winner.

Prizes

-An inclusion in the Hall of Fame, and after 1, 2, 3, or 4 wins, you will get a medal, or trophy.

How many Pokemon can we use in the fusion?

And what do you mean by one exception?

Rodan · Nov 17th, 2009, 6:41:20 PM

the one exception is that those are the only ones you can use.

You can fuse as many as you want.

felixmartin · Nov 17th, 2009, 6:50:44 PM

here is my entry, regirock, registell, regice

Chaos669 · Nov 17th, 2009, 7:04:13 PM

Igor I cannot judge anymore. Sorry but I'm much too busy.

BlueJello · Nov 17th, 2009, 7:52:59 PM

I have a feeling many people are going to use Tropius as a base, despite it being a bit to big to work with. This one just fits the height restriction.

Was fun to make though, and I think it looks quite good. ^^

aXl · Nov 17th, 2009, 9:21:54 PM

Hey Igor, since Chaos is dropping out of judging, how about letting me hop in? I've been tossing around the idea for awhile now, and I feel that I'd like the position a lot. It would make me feel better than I do currently on the topic of the WSC (what with me having not a single honorable mention to my name, darnit).So yeah, what do ya' say? I can submit an entry for last week's in Chaos' place if need be.

Rodan · Nov 17th, 2009, 9:38:41 PM

X- Sure you can be a judge, send in your nominations!

remember you can still enter though.

Yah, I know, I was just thinking I could do something a bit more like what Canti does and enter every now and then when I get a good idea. I'll be sure to send in a submission though. Thanks again, btw.

VeteranUnderdog · Nov 18th, 2009, 12:07:04 PM

What do you guys think of THIS!?

Alchemator · Nov 18th, 2009, 2:47:46 PM

Spriting hasn't really been going my way recently, so I decided to send in someone to sort it all of: The Armaldo Warrior!

E-Cookie for anyone who guesses which of the pokemon in the list the sword was made from ;) of course you should post an entry aswell so it isn't pc++

Wizwum · Nov 18th, 2009, 2:50:20 PM

Entering for the first time in a while. This is Kabutops, Omastar and Aerodactyl, with Cradily's pattern, and Armaldo's colours. Simple, but I like it. :)

Rodan · Nov 18th, 2009, 3:30:35 PM

Nominations still needed!

DDRMaster · Nov 18th, 2009, 9:54:18 PM

A fusion of Tropius, Shieldon, Aerodactyl, and Omastar with Ramparados's colors.

Skymin_Flower · Nov 19th, 2009, 3:18:19 AM

My WSC entry!

I used a lot of sprites to make this... :P and I am actually really proud of it.

Pombo · Nov 19th, 2009, 11:09:32 AM

man, this must be the best WSC so far... at least, with have the best sprites. Every single on is excellent/hilarious *looking at you _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _*.

Rodan · Nov 19th, 2009, 4:02:44 PM

OK I only got one person to send in their nominations, so im improvising

Sucram · Nov 19th, 2009, 11:47:37 PM

My WSC entry!
Armaldo and Bastiodon

Lord Jesseus · Nov 20th, 2009, 2:54:17 AM

Aw, I'm not a finalist...
Honourable mention go!

Pink · Nov 20th, 2009, 3:03:28 AM

Igor, you should PM everyone letting us know when to PM the nominations. I missed them because I didn't check the sub-forum =)

Rodan · Nov 21st, 2009, 9:33:16 PM

Dogfish44 · Nov 22nd, 2009, 8:51:13 AM

Anyway, who said that fossil's can't have a feminine side?

Armaldo-Shiny Aerodactyl-Tropius-Kabutops

Tropius is the hardest to see.
