The Retype Challenge!
 
Welcome to the A&D Retype challenge!

I happily announce the retype challenge, where people from every art discipline band together to change a Pokémon’s typing!

What is a retype?
A retype is when you take an existing Pokémon, and edit it so that it reflects a new typing. This can be done in all kind of manners, editing the official drawings, editing sprites, or even redrawing one from scratch!

What can I win?
1st Place: Will be featured artist this month and get an amazing emblem!
Everyone else will get a less amazing but still goddarn awesome emblem!

How do I send in my submission?
All submissions are supposed to be send to me. You are not allowed to showcase them before the competition ends, to keep the creator anonymous. All submissions should be send in before 1 May 2015



So, now on to the real part, the challenge itself. Now a days, the grass, water and fire starters are very overdone, but people still hold that nostalgic value to the original starters, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. That’s why we are going to make them hip and trending again, by assigning them new types.

The assignments is: Sprite, draw, recolor, knit, sculpture or crochet one of the original starters with an all new typing! Every form of art is allowed, as long as you made it yourself!

Rules:

1. Every kind of visual art will be accepted

2. The used pokemon must be either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle

3. The pokemons new type may not be Grass, Fire, or Water.

4. The pokemon's may either have one or two types.

5. Added information, as movesets, are encouraged to be made, but are not necessary.

6. Voting will be done anonymously, so submissions need to be PM'd to me.

7. Making your entry public before the competition ends, will get you disqualified

8. Entering work not made by you, is not allowed, and will get you reported to the mods!

9. Submissions must be send in before 1 May 2015

I joined this competition, gotta snag that emblem. :D

SvelteDonut April 4th, 2015 12:09 PM

I'm so down for this. To clarify, are any evolutions of the three Pokemon allowed?

No, the design may only be the base stages.

Kay thanks!
I was about to do a Poison-type Bulbasaur, but then I realized...

It's still allowed, you just have to take out the grass typing, and make it look pure poison.

Poki April 4th, 2015 1:43 PM

Count me in.

Aisu April 4th, 2015 2:57 PM

I'm entering as well.

faf April 4th, 2015 10:23 PM

So we have to sign up before entering? If so I'm in!

deerui April 5th, 2015 8:02 PM

eep, this sounds amazing!
Can we do all three starters or just one?

Feel free to do all three, haha, but you're only allowed to send in one. I assume you're in?

I've put you all on the list. If your submission has been recieved, I'll put it behind your name.

Poki April 8th, 2015 11:04 AM

If I don't colour it, would that affect my entry (when choosing the winner)?

I hope to let the winner be chose by anonymous voting, so not coloring might make a difference for other people, but I'd say, if the artwork is looking good, it won't be a problem.

Well, yeah, not knowing who the artist is when voting is the best option.
& Alright, 'cause I tend to draw in b/w.

Circuit April 8th, 2015 12:59 PM

So I need an excuse to pull out the tablet and start drawing. This is most definitely it. I'm joining this woot!

Ice April 9th, 2015 8:27 AM

So, [tier=mod]cuttlefishCuller[/tier] has made some very pretty icons for you guys. Everyone will receive one for joining, and one, together with a featured artist spot, will be handed to the winner. She really did a great job, so you guys should be excited for the fact that you can win it, haha.

Fairy April 9th, 2015 7:06 PM

I'll admit, I did do some damn good emblems for this one. ;)

Also stickying this thread & adding an announcement.

Entermaid April 9th, 2015 8:14 PM

Looks fun! I just sent my entry. :)

PotrZombie April 10th, 2015 6:44 AM

Nevermind, I'm not in, because mine looked too similar to someone's on Deviantart.

You can, although you're not supposed to mention what you're making, as everything is supposed to be anonymous. You may change as much as you want, as long as you can still recognize the original pokemon in it. It doesn't have to be a recolor, it doesn't even have to be a sprite, it can be a drawing or even a sculpture too :) I'll add you to the list, as soon as you removed what you're going to make from your post!

Hyzenthlay April 10th, 2015 9:25 AM

We all know Fairy is one of the top artists around here, so I'm looking forward to seeing those emblems, including everyone's retype. :3

I'm in, even though this is actually my first time doing something like this, haha. It's a good start!

Edit: Oh my glob, Paint.net froze after all my efforts! :< Luckily I could print screen a zoomed up version and save it on Paint (never thought Paint would come in handy lol) but I still have to redo it, pretty much. Oh well, I won't lose heart! I'll try again tomorrow, since atm it's the wee ours of the morning.

Golurks Were Meant to Fly April 11th, 2015 3:59 PM

I'd like to join! Bit rusty doing anything artsy, but this seems fun!

Squirrel April 12th, 2015 6:16 AM

Like Sheerow I'm kind of rusty when it comes to spriting but I'll take a go! I've done countless recolours etc in the past so hopefully I can do something here XD

It doesn't have to be just a recolor. You can do anything that you like with the sprite, as long as it stays recognizable as the original pokemon :)

Patsfan22 April 12th, 2015 6:42 AM

I'm going to try this out, doesn't seem too hard. :)

Is it ok to fuse Pokémon? Like could I take Beedril's wings and add them to Squirtle with it still counting as Squirtle (with him obviously being the bigger focus)?

Feel free to take parts of other sprites. It is as you said, as long as the Gen 1 starter is the bigger focus, it's allowed. It must be retype of the starter, and every means to that end will be allowed. Except murder

Now how can I win :(

I decided I'm not happy with the sprite I sent also I didn't read the part about adding a moveset - is it possible to send a new entry or is it one go each? (Sorry for all the questions!)

Patsfan22 April 12th, 2015 5:19 PM

I finished my entry! Nothing special, but it was fun. Look forward to see the others submitted :D

Hyzenthlay April 13th, 2015 7:18 AM

Poor Squirrel. :( I'm sure here'll make an exception~ just use your Cute Charm.

Seeing as how you can send your submission anytime before 1 May I won't hurry with sending mine, in case I wind up in Ozzy's predicament. :P

I'm not making an exception for you! Because everyone can send a new submission if they want, haha. The last submission I receive will be the one that counts, so feel free to make a new entry :)

Don't send me something when you already know you're going to try again later on, though. I don't need fourty submissions a person, haha.

Lycanthropy April 13th, 2015 10:23 AM

Because I thought this was an interesting challenge, I was experimenting a little with it. As it isn't even working out badly I don't see a reason why not to sign up. I mean free emblems, c'mon.

I'll send you my entry soon.

Lady May April 15th, 2015 5:17 AM

You can! Sign ups stay open until 12:00 April 30th.

Proteun April 17th, 2015 7:45 AM

I might be joining this, but I don't really have any ideas. Just recolouring stuff now.

Etherion April 17th, 2015 8:43 PM

Joining~ :D

Torosiken April 19th, 2015 9:29 AM

I am half bored... I guess I am in! XD

Ice April 19th, 2015 10:18 AM

Owh man, 20 entries, I'm so happy with you guys! I love you all for joining! All submissions thus far are great, and I'm excited to showcase them to y'all when May comes around.
I want people to keep joining, this might become the biggest A&D competition yet, if this keeps up!

Foxrally April 19th, 2015 8:53 PM

As requested by MI-chan, I shall join. Prepare for horribly drawn Pokemon on paint ;)

Azarashi April 20th, 2015 10:31 AM

May I join this as well? :3 Looks like fun

And, if the creation is a dual type, may one of them be Fire, Water or Grass?

I see ^^ Just making sure. Thank you very much

Skymin April 26th, 2015 3:07 AM

i might give this a shot eh <3

Centipede Chan April 26th, 2015 8:03 PM

I might give it a go. But I better hurry as the deadline is soon.

Hyzenthlay April 27th, 2015 4:03 AM

I realise there's a deadline but I haven't been able to access my sprite recently (computer issues). I'll try tomorrow.

Sunfished April 27th, 2015 4:54 PM

Joining :D

Logiedan April 29th, 2015 4:05 AM

I should be done by the 30th. Looking forward to seeing all of the many submissions.

Circuit April 29th, 2015 10:47 AM

Well there's just over a day left. I wanted to ask, MI, if you'll display them straight away, or will we have to wait a bit?

I will have them up around an hour, hopefully less, after the deadline passes. I have the post done already, with all the art that I've received in it, so I just need to put the ones I've yet to receive in and I can post it as soon as the deadline comes. I will make a new thread for it, though, to make voting easier.

I'll explain the voting system here already, but I will of course include it again in the new thread. Feel free to comment on it.


Everyone will fill out the form below. Contestants are allowed to vote, but they are not allowed to vote on their own piece:

Favorite piece (Select one) (3 points):
Honorable mentions (Select 0 minimum, 4 maximum) (1 points):

Ice April 30th, 2015 4:11 AM

#doublepost

The voting thread will go up on 14:00 1st of May, so in around 24 hours. If I have not received your submission by then, I can't let you join anymore. I hope to receive all missing entries before that time though. I'd recommend checking the first post in this thread to check if there is a [submission received, to make sure I didn't overlook your submission.

I've sent my submission so you can put a tick by my name. :P

Poki April 30th, 2015 10:39 AM

Duuuuude, I'm so lazy. I've yet to finish the sketch. Hopefully I'll be done soon.

Fairy April 30th, 2015 11:03 AM

This is so exciting! It's great to see such an excellent turn out for this event!

Can't wait to see everyone's submissions! :)))

Poki April 30th, 2015 11:12 AM

How much time have I got left, anyway?

Ice May 1st, 2015 5:20 AM

Okay guys, I had some complications but the vote thread is up! Check it out here
