• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Bandwagon'd. [Sprite contest]

Vriska Serket

Yeah!!!!!!!!
Despite how annoyed I am at the number of sprite contests recently, I'm starting my own because it looks so fun. D: *Hypocrite*

Oh, and I will not be saving a spot for anybody, sorry. If you start working on a sprite for this contest but somebody else submits a sprite and takes the last spot sooner, too bad for you. :[ And I do not accept JPGs.

Round 1
Theme - Turning Pokémon into inanimate objects.

Anybody who knew me well at all from the old forums should remember my old avatar with a Drifloon edited to look like a balloon. You'll be doing something similar - simply pick any Pokémon you like and turn it into an inanimate object. You've got quite a lot of possibilities here, hm? Before anybody asks, you'll have to edit them completely into the object - remove the face, any limbs that can't be edited to be part of the object, etc. There should hardly be any evidence left that it was once a -living- thing. (I should be able to tell, if only just barely, what Pokémon it was edited from, though. Otherwise it might as well just be a scratch sprite.) Oh, and you can't use parts from other Pokémon, whether they're edited or not. If you're turning a Riolu into a lamp, you'll have to make the lampshade from scratch.

Judging-

Originality - 15 points possible.

You'll be judged here based on how original the edit you made was. Changing an Electrode into a beach ball certainly won't net you many points in this category.

Shading - 10 points possible.

Does the shading match the object? Did you edit the original Pokémon's shading to be more dull or shiny, if necessary?

Scratching - 5 points possible.

You'll almost certainly have to scratch some stuff for this round, and in this category you'll be judged for how well you scratched. If it's clear you didn't scratch anything at all, you get a default zero in this category.

Overall - 20 points possible

Pretty much everything else. Do the colors match up well with the object, does the Pokémon actually look like the object you chose, are there still hints that it was once alive, etc.



Winners get a gold, silver, or bronze plaque with their sprites and names on it, for first, second, and third place respectively. (Aha. How original.) They'll also get their name on a little "winners" list for that round.

Have fun! ;)

Er, you were supposed to use a Pokémon's original sprite and edit it, (most likely with scratched parts) not do the whole thing from scratch. o.o I thought I'd made that clear. You both saved yours as JPGs, anyways.
 
Photobucket turned your sprites JPGs, then. Doesn't really make much difference. It's always best to save your sprites as a PNG if you plan on using Photobucket, otherwise the quality will be messed up.
