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. :)
