The Underground Dark-Type Collab 2016

[Ullion]

Unless you're someone like Klippy, lol

For a future collab, we could do something like having themes that represent one of the mafia games here (past or present) or do mafia roles. So, like, it'd be mafia related.

I think having themes based off of past mafia games would be really cool. But as a person who has never hosted a game, I'd feel kind of weird/silly/guilty for having someone else's game as my theme. Y'know? xD

However mafia roles would float my boat for sure. :)

 

[Nakuzami]

I wouldn't find it silly

So long as you used one of my games, because otherwise I'd have to make you my enemy

this is about UG domination

 

[Mana1]

The theme is decided, save your other ideas for next time :P. This better not end like the supporters thread did.

Next decision is CSS, so if people could contribute ideas over the next few days then we can vote and make them up for people :).

 

[Mana1]

Imo we should use something that isn't just a reskin of a current sig. I'll try a mockup tomorrow.

 

[Nakuzami]

I made some css. Kept it simple, considering the complaints from the last css I made.

I wasn't interested in joining this one at first because I was sad that Absol was taken. :(

However Weavile is still open! So I'll claim that :3

And that css looks fresh, mate. Especially like what ya did for Sandslash

edit: oh oh oh

 

[Nakuzami]

Especially like what ya did for Sandslash

it was a pet project of mine

 

[jdthebud]

I'll claim Scrafty.

Naku, that CSS looks pretty good if a little simple. But I'm not loving that background color, it's too brown for my liking.

 

[Nakuzami]

It's the color that Bulbapedia uses for the Dark Type

so

I used it, lol

 

[Ullion]

I remember this discussion, but I thought it had been scrapped. I had no idea collab talk had started again until I saw this thread already underway. :P

I agree with not liking the brown for a background colour. Maybe a deep purple?

 

[Nakuzami]

idk man, bulbapedia makes that brown seem so official and shit for the dark type. plus it works with all the 'mon. dunno if I should mess with that mojo

. . .

so I messed with that mojo. two shades of purple. take your pick.

[Dusk]

Bulbapedia isn't the be-all end-all in Pokemon. Another option could be black and shades of grey, like in Elektra Heart's CSS in the OP. I dunno... if you want more interest, maybe a smoky/cloudy black background of some sort?

 

[ßritto]

On a note - I'll take Skuntank please :)

The CSS looks good Naku - much smoother than the other Collab! :P {Has the background got to be a solid colour, or do you have brushes?}.

 

[Nakuzami]

Typically for the background to be multiple colors, a gradient would need to be used. The thing is, the images of the 'mon are background images, and backgrounds can't coexist with gradients, as far as I'm aware.

Also, Skuntank (and all other 'mon you see in the post where I presented a bunch of different signatures) has already been claimed by someone else. I believe Skuntank was taken by Foxrally, so you'll either have to murder him and take Skuntank, or choose another dark-type, lol.

 

[Dusk]

Whoops, I was thinking in terms of images, like you were making these in photoshop or something. I know nothing of CSS. I'll leave the rest to y'all. xD

 

[Bidoof FTW]

I don't see any problems with the brown :( it's probably the best color for matching each pokemon and I personally think it looks pretty good :)

Very excited to do my sig and avvy already

 

[Legendary Silke]

Can I be a Hydreigon? Hyhy's the cutest thing ever... in Mystery Dungeon, at least! :3

 

[Dusk]

Ooh, I really like the base hue of Twiggy's current sig. I think the only reason I didn't like the brown of Naku's initial CSS sig was that it was too warm, y'know? Made me think of ground types or something.

 

[Mana1]

That first purple looks good :) perhaps we could pick our own dark shades and just keep the same layout/format. Would allow for some variety.

 

[Nimsy]

I would like it to be uniform ngl, it's neater.
