    Not to be extremely off topic and all, but my forum skin is the Magic of Darkrai. xD So that is why the light blue, since its not cyan to you apparently, didn't effect my eyes.

    Spoiler:


    Looks light blueish enough to be called cyan to google. =p


    I'm curious to know if Bisharp was actually planning to submit an entry... I would be the only one to give it a rating now that I think about it.... lol

    No, no, that is cyan. That's what I was saying, I was just noting the difference... For some reason or another. Cyan is a perfect mix of blue and green with no red, and light blue is just blue that's lighter than regular blue.

    What's even going on with this conversation, anyway?

    Challenge One Judging

    Hey everyone, the entries have all gotten in. And those three who haven't submitted their creations are sadly disqualified.

    RULE CHANGE!!! So after much thinking, I don't think its fair to have a competition determined by dropouts, so instead each of you will have a set score based on each creation you have made per challenge. As the competition progresses the points you have earned out of ten will continue to add up per entry you have made as this contest progresses. Each week, those participants with the lowest combined score will be eliminated.

    Here are the results from Round One :)

    *Nobody is eliminated this round because of the amount of disqualifications

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Rampaging Rayquaza (6.5/10) (7.5/10) Final Score: 7

    BBlade's Response
    : The color pallet looks relatively nice, but the red in the hearts looks too bright compared to the other colors. The lack of black outline bothers me; all pokemon sprites should have at least some form of back outline within the shadow. Black outline in darker-shaded areas are a standard part of the art-style in pokemon sprites, add it in next time.

    Intel's Response: To be honest, I really liked your sprite! You did do a bit of a similar fusion as everyone else, but I really liked the little scratch touches you did on your own. The coloring of the ears and the scratched hearts were very nice touches. ^^


    Dragon Master (6.75/10) (6.75/10) Final Score: 6.75

    BBlade's Response: I'm not sure whether the pink and brown contrast in a good way or a bad way, but it works. I'm not sure what is going on with the stunfisk fin as a hat, but it looks alright. There could be worse headpieces to choose from. This sprite is solid, stay consistent this way :)

    Intel's Response: I like how you used stunfisk's parts as a little hat for your sprite. It looks cute, but not necessarily valentine's day related. It's kind of a basic design as well, but it was done fairly well.


    Blaquaza (6.75/10) (6/10) Final Score: 6.38

    BBlade's Response: The colors clash too much a bit. Toning down the brightness of the hot pink would do wonders by decreasing the saturation of the color (blending it in with gray more, works). I would also expect more creativity from when it comes to spriting from a PS user like you, so adding parts to make it easier won't necessarily give you a free pass in my judging.

    Intel's Response: Although you did provide two different gender versions, your sprite seems like a pretty basic fusion. Colors alone don't give off a valentine's essence. A bit of scratching here and there and more creativity could have greatly increased your score. I really liked your description though. Sadly, that wasn't necessarily required for this contest.


    The Frost Dragon (6/10) (6/10) Final Score: 6

    BBlade's Response: I found it cute how you chose to do a cupid by adding the tyrantrum fluff to the back of drowzee for wings. Hardly any seviper is seen, and this sprite almost looks like a simple recolor. The bottom half was hardly worked on too. EDIT MORE! The gray also doesn't go well with the pink very much, but it isn't too bad. I don't get what is going on with the incoherent "floating red tail" in the back of the sprite.

    Intel's Response: I really like how you made Tyrantrum's parts into wings and stunfisk's as a hat, but everything else just seemed really lacking. You chose a really poor color palette and I'm not quite sure what is exactly going on with the tail and the random line at the top connecting to the hat. I feel like you spend most of the time on the top half of the sprite, since the bottom is what is my main concern. x-x


    Suicune's Fire (5.5/10) (6/10) Final Score: 5.75

    BBlade's Response
    : This looks like a child's nightmare. The psycho face through the eyes and the teeth don't help either. The colors look okay together, but the purple seems to be thrown in without much thought. The face looks deformed by the oddly shaped purple mask (phantom of the opera reference? I'd be scared to see that creature's face without the mask :( ) This sprite seems to connect to Halloween more than Valentine's Day.

    Intel's Response: Your sprite is good without a doubt, but it has absolutely no reference towards valentines day!! X.X It looks like some crazed mutation that would hunt me down and kill me. You even gave it a crazy eye! xD If this was a ferocious pokemon fusion contest you would win for sure, but a good sprite alone can't win. Next time follow the theme of the round ok? =p


    SLC (5.75/10) (5/10) Final Score: 5.38

    BBlade's Response: The head looks too big and pear-shaped. I also assume you used seviper colors because I bet the parts were too difficult for you to use within the sprite. A lot of my past competitors have tried to pull fast ones on me by doing that, but it doesn't work. Use SOME body parts of each of the four pokemon I give you, trying to use the original sprite colors is uncreative and lazy.

    The valentine's day is also pretty lacking. "Oh I'll just add a purple heart to make it work, he'll also think I'll be using seviper by putting in the colors." Don't sacrifice your work with that type of thinking! Add at least a seviper eye to replace the drowzee one; and add some pink and red color in the mix to make the theme work!

    Intel's response: I feel really bad giving that rating, but hear me out. The head for one, is really distorted and unnatural. I do not see any relevant seviper parts either. Although you did add a little purple heart, which was a good touch, the coloring of your sprite is very dark. Valentine's day is more of a loving holiday, so brighter and more vivid colors would have been a greater choice. What really struck me the most though was the feet. They lack shading and basic outlines. It made your sprite look unfinished to me, thus the score. :c

    My Entry

    Bisharp Blade (7.75/10) Final Score: 7.75

    Intel's Response: I think you were the only contestant who didn't use Drowsee as a base, but since you knew that I can't give you creativity points. Your design was probably the most creative out of the bunch despite of its lethargic look. I do see a chocolate heart reference, so it fits the theme perfectly. I really liked how you used tyrantrum's parts and scratched a little details here and there. The only reason I didn't give you an 8 or higher is because I don't see enough seviper or hypno, even though you used them for the eyes and ears. You still did an excellent job overall.

    I can't believe how many of us used Drowzee as base, Tyrantrum's legs and Seviper's tail. That was just shocking.

    I'll take your advice on board next time, guys. I tried messing around with the pink, and if I'd have used the original shade, I think your eyes would have bled. :3

    Looking forward to the next round! I just hope that I can do a better job with the theme this time. I edited the shading a little for the bottom half, and added the 'string, but that was as far as scratching went... Sorry. :(

    It's a bow...

    In other news, I'm pretty glad we all did (almost) equally poorly.

    This actually makes me so happy. XDDDDDDDDD Ahem.

    I agree, Blaquaza! xD So weird! I guess it was the obvious choice. WE ALL NEED TO BE MORE CREATIVE. Well, all of us who did that. XD Lelel. Congrats to RR! :D

    I'M READY FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE. >:3
