[Demon Days]

I will never get a vote ;_;
In all seriousness, good luck to the people who made stuff like Entry 5 and 1. You should at least deserve 2nd and 3rd places with me being 1st obviously huhuehue

 

[Aryan143]

I vote for entry 1 and 2. I love the design in the first and colours in the second.

 

[ShadowMirror]

I voted for 1 and seven, I really did enjoy all of them though, good luck everyone, I also hope I get at least one vote

 

[Logiedan]

Just in case anyone notices, despite Entry 7 having two votes casted, one has been removed by request due to a mistake. So although two have voted for Entry 7, it ultimately only has 1 vote.

 

[Elaitenstile]

Me votes for a phaive and siks. #IknowwhowillbehappycuzIvotedfor6

Uh, I do guess that this stuff isn't ALL about the design and colours right? It IS also circulating about the quality about the sprite itself, that's why this is a Pixel Contest.

I guess that many of the sprites weren't very well placed around #minetoosoiundestandwhy and thus I voted for the Regigigas even though I know it's just mostly fusion, it was placed around QUITE nicely.

I guess entry 5 was much fusion because I can see lots of references, but the scratchwork is cleverly hidden behind the scenes so you'd think it's an official or a fusion. The work here is clear so I can see the design nicely.

PS : I liked entry 1 too but I couldn't see much clearness on it and it looked rather weird from afar and afar is from where we should look at it. So I no vote it for.

 

[Tox]

Definitely have to go with Entry 5. It's pieced together really well and has the charm of an actual Pokémon sprite. Good luck to everyone though!

 

[blackmoonflower]

I vote five and six.

Five because it looks very clean, has a good looking color palette, and, quite honestly, very fun.

Six because it's a pretty decent fusemon and a practical idea to execute. Basically, it just makes sense.

 

[Logiedan]

I can assure you most of Entry 5 was scratch if not all scratch from my pixel eyes.

 

[Logiedan]

And the winners are...

1st Place - Discordant

2nd Place - Fenneking

3rd Place - Silversnk
