[Chessking345]

Requester: Chessking345
For: Formemons (OM)
Art Direction: Up to artist. Since the meta is about using alternate formes directly some generally relevant and unlikely to be banned Pokemon include: Megas (eg Diancie, Salamence, Mewtwo Y, Altaria, Blaziken), Greninja-Ash, Necrozma-Ultra. Primals are workable too (though a bit more at risk of being banned) if artist would prefer working with them. "Formemons" should be displayed.
No hard deadline, but would prefer before end of the month. Thanks!

Art Direction:
A Gholdengo, in a runner’s outfit, in mid-sprint, is passing a red baton (with +2 Sp. Attack written on it in small black font) to an enthusiastic Dragonite in matching runner’s waiting with an outstretched hand.

Behind them and above, a banner reads “Relay Race”.

Just thought I’d update this, it may have gotten lost. No hard deadline, but preferably before the end of the month. Thank you!

[Geysers]

Requester: Geysers
Tournament Name: SS AG cup
Projected Deadline: uh, signups are going up now and I realized we don't have art, so any time is good. Maybe say like April 7 or something?
Art Direction: No real direction, run wild. Ideally at least one of yveltal, eternatus, and necrozma-dusk would feature prominently since they're by far the best mons in the tier but beyond that, do whatever. Also it'd be nice if the words "SS cup" were visible somewhere. Here's the vr for inspiration on what other mons would make sense: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ag-old-gens-hub.3718501/#post-9552584
Thanks!

 

[RufflesPro]

Requester: RufflesPro
For: ORAS Samples Team
Projected Deadline: The post just went up. No rush and no deadline
Art Direction: Hard to say, i think a bunch of mons together would be nice. I want to reflect the new state of oras, which has seen a popularity surge in certain mons - Serperior, Cresselia, Tyranitar, Weavile, Zapdos, and Thundurus, and also maybe maintaining some old but gold mons like Excadrill, Clefable, Alakazam-mega, Lopunny-mega, and Metagross-mega. Might be a lot but do what you can! Thank you <3

We are actually planning a revamp to the ORAS VR in a month. Would love a banner for that ^_^

Nice, any particular Pokémon you’d want to see? Is there any type of vision you have for the work?
Sorry if that’s too much to ask at this stage!

Very similar to my above description. Would more than love a different interpretation for it

Resource Thread 'ORAS OU Sample Teams'

Art by sleepyzen

Hello! With SPL finishing up, we have decided to update the ORAS sample teams to reflect popular playstyles and archetypes of the current metagame. We provide these teams to be used for beginners to learn the metagame, for aspiring ORAS players in the upcoming year, and for builders to gain more insight on the meta. Thank you for everyone who helped us in making this.

We selected 25 teams to be the new face of ORAS. These teams were picked based on consistency, viability, and accessibility to newer faces. Another factor we considered was attempting...​

[Slowpoke Fan]

Requester: Slowpoke Fan
For: SS OU Demo Teams (essentially samples)
Projected Deadline: None, take your time!
Art Direction: I would like to request for artwork involving Garchomp and Landorus-Therian. I don't have particular requirements for their poses/the background/etc outside of wanting the two to be drawn as Moemon, with reference pieces shown below (I'm aware that the Landorus piece is its Incarnate forme, it's just provided to give artists a general idea).

[sakenjane]

Requester: Albi
For: LCUU Circuit
Projected Deadline: End of March
Art Direction: I was thinking of something like this (dont know the english name) with three Pokemon from the VR, not necessarily in VR order. The one at first place holds a small trophy.
As for Pokemon, avoid Wattrel and Tentacool that might rise soon. Some options I was thinking about were Sandshrew, Crabrawler, Doduo, Meowth, Grimer-Alola, but if the artist has some cool ideas i'm more than willing to listen
It will also have LCUU Circuit 2025 written below, and will be used for all our tours this year.

Thank you!

Thank god I'm still on time. sorry for the long wait, I got sick and took some time to finish it. But here we go. I hope you like it!

[Hiro']

Requester: Hiro' on behalf of BW moderation
Tournament name: BW World Cup
Projected Deadline (Sign-Up thread goes live): April 21st
Art Direction: The tour follows the same vein as official WCoP as well as other world cups like RBYWC. Our team as a whole is really fond of RavioliQueen's art for RBYWC and we would like to follow a similar path by including in some way a trophy that at least resembles the actual FIFA world cup trophy. Since it's the inaugural edition and we don't have any winning country to highlight yet, we could have one of BW staples (Latios?) holding or lifting the trophy while being surrounded by other staples like Tyranitar, Landorus-Therian, Excadrill, Alakazam or Keldeo for example. Feel free to dm me if you wanna discuss further
