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

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.

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.

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.

I'm in. And can I do dual-types? I'm trying a Dark-Electric Charmander. Another thing is, can we slightly change the sprites or is it just colours?
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!

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.
I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive

on reduced activity!

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 :)
