A nice sprite contest. [r10 open for entries: version-exclusive mixes!]

[Sebastian Moran]

I keep forgetting about this until it's past the deadline time aha.
Is the the round about the bugs still opened or do I need to wait for the next one?

yes it is, so long as i havent got around to updating the OP to show the next round/putting up the next poll, the round is open :v 
i may add an extra day to it because of all the kerfuffle with this whoops. 
particularity as i forgot to edit the "submit by" date........wow. 

yes. the current round. what is the criteria?

the criteria: 
-get a bug-type sprite 
-recolour it, using only the colours provided on the first page, so only these ones:


-you should stick to copying the sprite's original colours (or the shiny sprite's colours). basically some examples of what i mean:


i'm not going to be strict on this, this is just me trying to avoid getting submissions which are like the one on the right. 
basically... yeah. use your imagination~~ 
so long as you remember that this isn't "recolour dustox as groudon", it's "recolour dustox as a limited-palette dustox".

Thank you sir. Does this mean that I am restricted from changing the Lum value to make colors lighter/darker?

[Sebastian Moran]

yeah, only the colours you've got there, unaltered. to make shading more of a challenge <:

(the poll's over and i'll get the trophies here soon, but entries for the next round will remain open until tomorrow due to kerfuffle and the downtime. looks like everyone's due a trophy though wooo!)

[Liam]

Hahahaha omg I won.

Thank you people who voted.

[Wolstenholme]

I came joint second.... Mine was the Espeon one 

[Jackal]

The Meloetta was almost completely redone. It deserved to win. No offense Liam but you just stuck a head and tail from a back sprite onto a body.

[Liam]

^I know, I was ever so slightly taking the piss with the sprite.

Shout out to my boy creativity though you didn't expect that backsprite coming!!

[Jackal]

Who'd you bribe? Lucky 

[SirBlaziken]

I voted for espeon

[quack98]

^ As did I, I didn't particularly like Meloetta (partially because I don't like Meloetta, and partially because it looked a little too ragdoll-ish) & Gyarados was overdone imo. The magnemite one just didn't seem to be merged as well as the Espeon one.

They were all awesome though!

I use a different version of paint than the one depicted in your post... should I give you a croped image of my default palette so that you can verify?

[Sebastian Moran]

unfortunately i can't/won't accept it, i did specifically ask for the old MS paint palette to be used (hence why i provided it)... the new MS paint palette is less bright and easier to use, so less of a challenge. 
 

DETAILS FOR THIS ROUND: using the Gen V sprite of a bug-type, recolour it using only the default palette for the old MS paint, as shown above
This is the old MS paint palette, so if you've got the default from Windows 7 and up, you'll need to copy the above and use that.

[Jackal]

Dammit-_- I'll have it in after practice.

[Sebastian Moran]

ill probably add another extra day to this haha, because i am lazy... no, i mean because ill be out tomorrow afternoon/evening and idk if ill get everything sorted before i go out. 
plus... might get a few more submissions in? maybe. 
im very optimistic suddenly. 
 
... 
trophies!
