    So the brackets are:

    Vuvuzela vs Azura
    Carbon vs NotScience
    FrontierD vs Avatar Roku

    So, for all matches choose any number of pokemon:

    Choose from:

    Magmortar
    Electivire
    Raichu
    Charmeleon
    Froslass
    Tropius
    Skarmory
    Regice
    Golem
    Hippopowdon
    -1 pokemon of your choice

    In the PM to me, specific the pokemon you chose.

    All you must do is sprite any of the given pokemon, Pm it to me, and include which pokemon you used. GOOD UCK!

    Clarification on the rules: Are we only allowed to use sprites from Gen 5 or can we use a sprite from a past game for part of it?

    You can send it to me too.... I am a judge, or just post it in the thread it will be obvious if its copied.

    Just a hint guys I like winged sprites.

    Also you can REsubmit if you wish.

    Hippowdon's platinum sprite snout, Froslass's head gem on it's head, Evire's lower jaw/legs/eyes, Tropius' body, Regice's legs as the gems along the spine and part of it's hand/fingers as the tail.

    Looks good, a little plainish IMO. You can redo it if you want. Maybe a lighter color or some wings and stuff from the pokemon are my suggestions but do what you want.

    I don't see a point in adding wings just for the sake of it. It doesn't prove anything in terms of skill or creativity, as it's easy as fuck, and it's not necessary. People adding wings to every fusion just for the sake of adding wings to it is something that's bored me for ages and I won't be guilty of it myself.

    Yes but wings on certain sprites can add to the appeal of a sprite and hwo it looks. Sometimes it doesn't. Also the colors and stuff are a little plain. It is a good looking sprite but it can look a lot better. I'm not saying it's bad, it is good, it just looks like it's lacking something and it won't get a 10/10 score from me. I didn't say wings were essential, just said maybe you could lighten the colors or add wings or something like that. And not neccesairaly wings but anything from the 10 pokemon. A recolored charmelon tail flame or something. It's up to you.

    It is what I want it to be. I don't care about one person's scoring of it; only my own.

    Fair point but try playing around with the colors at least... if you won't take my other advice.

    KM, if he submits the sprite it means he has done it. That's his submission. Let it be.

    It made me lol :D

    P.S. We don't give it a rate out of ten...

    How do we rate it then and resubmissions are perfectly fine IMO, I mean if a spriter is suddenly hit with inspiration or his sprite isn't good compared to others he can retry right?

    Vuvu's sprite looks great, adding wings would just ruin it IMO, it makes no sense to have wings on that thing.

    Very cool sprite and nice coloring.

    However it looks like it was done in paint and quality isn't as good as some sprites. You could try GIMP but other than that I really like the color choice and the skarmory head thing is really cool.

    That's probably because it was done in paint! I've tried GIMP, but I don't know enough about it to use it effectively, and paint is simple. Basically, too lazy to learn to GIMP

    KM MS paint is the best spriting program. Don't lie.

    Roku, tip for next round; make sure to complete the outlines

    I prefer photoshop tbh as I have the variation of it designed to work with adobe dreamworks, it's called adobe fireworks CS4 and saves all its files in BMP and is made for making logos and web stuff, and sprites. GIMP can function almost as well but paint is a little simple and the quality doesn't always come out as good.

    Can't we just have the contestants who get knocked out function as judges as well? Having one person making the decision is rather questionable.

    Well, sorry for the rather late post, but here's my submission:
    [​IMG]

    Used:
    Froslass for the base of the head,
    Charmeleon for the base of the eyes and neck,
    Magmortar for the flame shaped add-ons to the head, as well as color
    Tropius for the chest and shoulders,
    Golem for the color of the chest,
    Raichu for the color of the "gems,"
    And my one pokemon of choice, Stoutland, whose right whisker I used for the base of the lower body. Also used it for the dark-blue colors (Note - I modified this heavily).

    No problem at all.

    Winning Players
    Carbon
    Vuvuzela
    Roku
    Slowkii

    The others did not submit apart from frontierD. FrontierD, thanks for competing, but somebody has to lose. Your sprite was lacking in the shading and the wings did not sit right, which may not seem major but it makes a difference.

    KM007, go ahead and make new brackets.
