Pokemon Sprite Contest 2011 July 26: I am just asking if you want to participate in my Pokemon Sprite Contest. I would be glad if you could. If you win you recieve a free sprite that you want me to customize and you will be included in the pokemon sprite battle. Look at the video for more information:

[Dk2theend]

You should try and make a twin headed dragon that is Water and fire. that would be so awesome

[Rubinstein98]

kinda remids me of krang from TMNT the way it looks like the fish controls the robot with its mind!

[greenbladex]

Yay, Asadow using the date format the whole world uses EXCEPT Americans: "dd/mm/yy"

A day of the month. A month of the year.

[primaldragoon318]

205 Is back????

[melonlord14]

8/5/2011?! time travel!!! D:

lol anyway,nice sprite,did u make that from scratch?

[flarestorm13]

@melonlord14 its not timetravel dude :/

[kevin3134]

i tried searching for the definiton of epic and this came up :/

[AngryTuna22]

@kevin3134 is that an offence?

[kevin3134]

@AngryTuna22 no



[ticsanmurio]

cool

[reubenalbert02]

I'm Soooo Not gonna place. :P

[AngryTuna22]

RADICALL, Like the music too!(:

[TheDarkscythe1]

It is awsome but it is so not a pokemon

[twoohfive205]

Ashadow, this is an impressive sprite, there is no doubt about that,

but in your video, it is clearly stated that the category was to create a pokemon sprite based off of an inanimate object.

Shouldn't a pokemon sprite be required to fit in the maximum box size for w/e the black and white generation limit is?

I like the sprite, as a sprite, throwing a magikarp on it however, does not make it a pokemon sprite. :/

[twoohfive205]

@twoohfive205

derp lmao, that;s not even a magikarp, i ddint feel like going back to check,

the fish in the middle was all that was needed, not the ridiculous robo-mech

[Ashadow255]

@twoohfive205 I appreciate your surprising criticism. I'm even starting to think that I put a little too much effort into it.......

But thanks anyway. I really appreciate it.

[AngryTuna22]

@Ashadow255 :, yeh, @twoohfive205, I agree, I think that the sprite is a little too big myself, a sprite that is too big, is not really a sprite:/, I mean, a sprite should actually look like a pokemon and also, if this sprite were to feature in a pokemon game, it would not be able to fit the screen!, but still, this is a really awesome sprite and i can obviously see the HUGE amounts of effort put into it, GOOD job man!:), yeah, I make sprites too, though i can't seem to perfect the technique!:(

[pokemaster1636]

NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!It doesn't matter if he used a magikarp!if he uesd a magikarp it counts as a half scratch and real pokemon sprite combination......I think it's the best scratch sprite ever!!

[twoohfive205]

@pokemaster1636

I didnt say it was bad, not at all, it is very impressive actually, the problem is, it isnt a "pokemon"

I know a lot of spriters have moved away from making pokemon, but this was designed to be an "inanimate object pokemon" Inanimate object yes, pokemon no.

I am also going to state that i am no longer a fan of the overly large sprites, it takes out part of the challenge, one of the reasons spriting is unique and different from actuall art, is because of the difficutly of

[twoohfive205]

@pokemaster1636 fitting a large amount of details into a small space. Making the sprites larger does two things:

1. it makes adding much more details a lot easier, because there are now actual pixels to work with

2. It gives the apperance of a better sprite than it actually would be, because of those extra details

if this were shrunk down to actuall sprite size, it would be much more impressive if it were to retain at least some of its detail. However, making larger sprites gives

[twoohfive205]

@pokemaster1636 the appearance of "Better", when in actuallity, it takes less skill to make a more impressive large sprite than it would be to make an impressive "sprite sized" sprite.

By Sacrificing the time needed to add those details that are only capable in large sprites, the creator gains the ability to add an illusion that indicates greater spriting skill.

[TheSMBKoopa]

@twoohfive205 I agree completely.

[pokepals78915]

What pet store can I buy that in?

[MFbrawlerBey]

8/5/2011? that means... AUGUST

[Ashadow255]

@MFbrawlerBey Actually, this was made in 8th of May.

[MFbrawlerBey]

@Ashadow255 Oh so you swapped the month with the day huh?

[Pokechris190]

@Ashadow255 lol



[amen123abc]

thats a big fish

[zorbakpants2]

2 fish in a tank, one says to the other "How do you drive this thing?" (had to be done)

[amen123abc]

@zorbakpants2 that was always funny to me

[amen123abc]

Fishinatank. HA XD

[PokeKai493]

Fish =/= Inanimate object

[amen123abc]

@PokeKai493 He meant the tank

[PokeKai493]

@amen123abc Naah, really?!

The Sprite is supposed to be inanimate. With no living things in/about/on it. That's not what the actual rule said, I'm just saying that a living thing being part of the Sprite isn't really a good idea for an 'Inanimate Object.'

[amen123abc]

@PokeKai493 -_-

[PokeKai493]

@amen123abc Making butthurt faces won't help your case.

[amen123abc]

@PokeKai493 ok fine, what u said i cannot understand. happy

[Drachoknight]

you realize there is only one thing to say about a sprite as epic as this right? it is:

[Xlance19]

Dude, that looks more like a digimon than a pokemon.

[Ashadow255]

@Xlance19 Yeah, I sort of agree..... I probably should have left some detail out of the sprite, but oh well. Not going to complain.

[TheHolyFox123]

@Ashadow255 none the less its awesome



[2001MrThomas]

@Ashadow255 but other people pokemon and there bad-ass spriters like you :L

[BEALTIMINTMAN79]

Two things, one, Ha! i'm more populer. And two, can you give some average spriters a chance?

[shadowisbeastandstuf]
