Week 1

Dreams = Reality
Welcome one and all! Today is the first day of the first week of the inaugural SPPf Weekly Sprite Contest! (excited applause accepted with open arms).

*shot*

And ...... on with the show!

This is how it works:

1. You don't need to sign-up. AT ALL.

2. You just post your entry. The entry needs to follow the theme and medium of the week to be considered for the voting.

3. You can post any time between now and when the poll goes up (around the same time next week)

4. Voting is simple, it is done as a poll that we all get to vote on... If there is enough entries there will be two polls, one to work out the top three and one to finalise the winner.

and finally,

5. ANYONE CAN ENTER - you don't have to enter each week either. It's just whenever you want. Each week there is a NEW contest, and that means a new chance for you to enter something, it is 100 % separate from the previous week.

6. ANYONE CAN VOTE - if you felt like the week's theme wasn't for you, but you still want to participate, your vote counts in the poll. It's that simple - you may never want to enter at all, but you can put your vote in on the poll every week - it's up to you.

The whole point is to check out other people's skills, try and better your own skills and just have an all-round great time. (Plus, think about the bragging rights you can put in your signature when you win!!)

So......

This week is our first week, and in honour of the recent Platinum release, I think it is appropriate to have the first theme and medium as follows:

Theme: Platinum Pokémon

Medium: 3-Sprite Fusion

That's right people, the theme is literally wide-open for anything and everything from within the Platinum game. If the Pokémon appears in the Platinum-Dex (i.e. the Sinnoh-Dex, pre-E4), it is a valid candidate for this week - just grab three of them (no more, no less) and fuse together.

Enjoy!

P.S. The SPPf Weekly Banner/Avatar Contest also begins today, check it out here

@ NightBlaze: I'll probably be putting in a sprite or two every now and again as well - anyone can enter, being part of the operating team shouldn't prevent you from entering at all.
@ Dean: awesome dude, can't wait

OH YEAH! Multi-fusions are my absolute speciality! But only 3? You really underestimate people. *runs off to get sprite done!*
 
I have a question. Since I'm kinda the person who decides the thing (sorry if I made a mistake) don't I make the what to do thing? Or is that for the club?
Anyways I'll try to enter!
 
@Metamence: You do the club stuff.

Oh, and i case people were wondering - post ur entries in this thread.
 
Do you mean "Three Sprite Fusion" instead of "Three Fusion Sprite"?
So we need to fuse three Platinum-based sprites together in order to get a correct entry?
 
To clarify this week's contest, find three pokemon sprites ripped from pokemon platinum, and use them as parts to create a single new sprite. You don't need to make 3 sprites, you only need to make 1. The sprite you make has to use exactly three pokemon sprites from pokemon platinum.

Because this is the first week, if your entry doesn't meet the specifications exactly, that'll be fine. Just make sure to use 3 platinum sprites to make a new one and otherwise be creative and have fun with it instead of worrying about the rules so much.
 
Nice, I'll enter with this thing:

few questions:
1) Do they HAVE to be Plat sprites? coz then one of the officials should post a link to them.
2) Should the sprite be a fusion or a whole new fakemon??
3) Are we allowed to scratch parts of one of the three pokemon instead of CPing their parts??
4) whats the deadline??
5) Err..thats it... >>

so ill submit mine as soon as my questions are answered :)
 
So everyone can join.
only use 3 platinum pokemon sprites to fuse them.
Okay well I give it a try, i'll post it sooner or later.

I assume that seeing as it's Platinum themed, you probably do need to use Platinum sprites. Make sense, huh? And it should just be a fusion, I think, seeing as it says fuse. And yeah, you can fuse parts as long as they're parts of a fused pokemon. And I think the deadline's in the Rules thread. Hope I helped :D
I'll be posting my entry soon, If nobody has posted, I'll update this post.
Edit: Here it is! Gallade + Floatzel + Toxicroak.

DM has got it right. However,

1) It would be totally what i originally wanted for you guys to use Platinum-only sprites. Since this is the first, I wouldn't push back an entry that didn't have Platinum sprites. If you really can't get a hold of them, just use other sprites, but make sure that the pokemon you are using does actually belong to the Platinum-Dex.
2) It needs to be a fusion.
3) If you can make the scratch extremely unobvious, then nobody'll know.
4) The dealine is approximatey a week from when the thread began. Just so you know, there'll be be a new contest next week, starting at around the same time, and having the same sort of finishing time
The Rules for the SPPf Weekly Sprite Contest said:
* You may send in an entry any time during the whole week, until the poll is up.

So, until someone posts in this thread saying the contest is over and the poll is put up - it should be about a week or so, give or take a few hours...

It's not so much about joining, you don't have to enter every week, just whenever you feel like it.

so if i scratch an arm in another pose, would that be illegal? or if i scratched a mane or fur, like if i scratched arcanines fur onto another pokemon?
Click to expand...

If you could make it look seem-less, then I probably wouldn't be able to notice scratched fur, but i'd definitely class changing the position of an arm as a re-pose, and not a fusion.....
 
Well I hope this fits the criteria:
Absol-Gallade-Lucario.png


I rotated its left arm, then joined it to the body, and I scratched the fur, since Absol's mane is too big. I think scratching parts should be allowed, if you CP in your thread, people start saying they are too CPish, but for a contest you have to CP?? Seems contradictory to me.... >>
 
That entry is awesome and will definitely fit the bill - you make a good point though, perhaps we shouldn't be so hard on people adding scratched to their fusion. The point i was trying to make was that it's a fusion-based sprite. There will most likely be scratch contests as well...

So yeah, alright, i'll allow minor scratching in fusions...
