===============================================
~I have the permission of aragornbird to post this~
(could a mod pls pinn that? )
Very Welcome to the international Spriting Contest! In this contest the four biggest english forums as well as two of the biggest german forums will particpate to compete: this contest takes place on Antiquity, Smogon, Serebii, PokemonElite2000, Pokemonexperte and Pokefans.
Just to explain how this contest will proceed:
First of all read the rules which will be explained later. Read the tasks (if you have any questions, just ask right here) and make your sprites. Then upload them on your favorite picture hoster like imageshack.us and send all your sprites via Personal Message to me. Do not post them here!
The rules i already mentioned before are as follows:
Rules
===============================================
- Sprite your own Sprites - Do not steal them! If we find out about any stolen sprite you'll be disqualified!
- Do not steal ideas of others. Sometimes it happens accidentally, but please, don't obviously steal ideas of others. Be creative yourself - that's what spriting is about.
- Recolors which are only the photographic negative of the real colors are prohibited.
- Don't submit already published sprites! The votings should be fare and square without the voters knowing who sprited which sprite, so don't use already published sprites and don't publish your contest sprites before the results are announced. Waiting about two weeks before you are able to post your sprites shouldn't hurt ;>
- During the votings don't tell anyone which ones are your sprites. Neither in the forums nor in any messenger.
- Please don't submit overly huge sprites. We won't give you an absolute limit but just try to avoid sprites over 200x200 pixels.
- only participate in one of the already mentioned forums. Be fair to your oppenents
- Only one submission per category
- You don't have to submit sth. in every category to participate, but please submit every single one of the sprites in one PM.
- No "IN" posts; Just send me your sprites and your name will be standing in the list of participants ;>
Important: If possible, please upload your sprite here: http://files.pokefans.net/upload/#en
You now should be prepared for the categories:
The Categories
===============================================
1. Recolor
Simply give this sprite of Linoon a new paint. You may change every pixel but don't add or remove any of the pixels.
You may only use this particular sprite. It's the first frame from DPP.
2. 3er Fusion
+
+
Make a fusion out of these three pokémon. You may use other pokémons color but only use parts of the three above. Don't scratch too much, it's only a fusion. Transitions or things alike are okay though.
You are allowed to use parts of every single sprite of them, whether it's diamond, pearl or platinum or first or second frame
3. Retype
Persian doesn't really like its type - it's normal. It's boring... So change it. You are totally free to choose which type it will become - except the type "Normal" of course.
You are allowed to recolor, fusion or scratch - it's all up to you.
4. Coloration
Your task is to color these lines (The Lines are by violedra/me). You also have to add the leaf pattern by the way. The Pokémon should look like it is real, so you have to use the orignal colors or colors that look much alike.
You may change the pixels within, but don't add any outlines - just color it. Coloring the Outlines is allowed of course.
5. My Fusion
Simple und free: You have to fusion as many pokémon as you like. Scratching is permitted as long as one can see at least two components of two different pokémon. You may use every sprite ressource you want.
One question i heard pretty often concerning this task: "Is a recolor alone okay?"
-> Sole recolors are no fusions and since this category is called my fusion it should be obvious that you have to at least fusion two pokémon.
Completed the tasks? Then just send them to me via Personal Message (keep the rules in mind) and your name will appear on the following list:

Deadline: 20.03.09, 23:59h (UTC/GMT +1 hour)
