Vivillon Coloring Contest
Quote from What is this?Hey there! This is a contest for anyone who would like to use pixel art to color in a blank Vivillon sprite to win some cool prizes! You can join the Stationary Section or the Animated Section to create your very own, original Vivillon!


Quote from How do I enter?To enter, all you have to do is fill out the form below! It's that easy!


Quote from How long do I have to sign up?You will have two weeks to sign up!


Quote from What do I do after I sign up?After the first week, I will start putting up blank Vivillon sprites which you will color in with an original design! None that already exist, and none that other people have made! To make judging fair, you may only submit one design. (More designs=more chances to win, so only one)


Quote from What are the two Sections you mentioned?There are two sections to this contest, the "Stationary" and "Animated" sections!


Quote from What is the difference between the two Sections?The Stationary Section will be for users who want to color a stationary sprite. This means that you will only color one Vivillon Sprite.

The Animated Section will be for users who want to color an animated sprite. This means that you will color 16 Vivillon Sprites that you will then animate into a moving picture.


Quote from Which Station is right for me?If you have little to no experience with coloring and/or animating sprites, or you just don't feel like making a whole animated sprite, the Stationary Section is better for you.

If you have moderate to a lot of experience with coloring and/or animating sprites, or you want to try the challenge, the Animated Section is better for you.


Quote from Can I change Stations?If at any time you decide that you want to change Section, you may! You just have to resubmit your form. You may only do this once! After that, your options are to submit what you have or to drop out. Users at the Stationary Section will be able to pick any one of the frames for the animated sprite.


Quote from So what's in it for me?We have some really cool prizes in store for you guys. We are currently working on getting prize donations, and would appreciate any help!


Quote from How do you decide who wins?A panel of judges consisting of myself and some selected individuals (to be listed once chosen) will select a winner based on a set of given criteria.


Quote from What is the criteria you will be judging my sprite on?The judges will be rating sprites from 4-20 (4 being the lowest score possible, 20 being the highest score possible). There are four main things we will look for, and we will rate each thing from 1-5:

1. Visual Appeal- Is your sprite nice to look at? Do its colors work well together? If your sprite is Animated, are there any choppy parts, or does it run smoothly? Please note that the sprite does not have to be pretty- if you want a scary or dark Vivillon, make one! Just keep in mind that ones that are hard to look at won't be scored highly.

2. Effort- How much time was spent on you sprite? Did you take the time to add details, such as shading? Does it look like it could be an official sprite? Please note that simple patterns are not bad patterns! Just keep in mind that just coloring the wings in won't get you as high a score.

3. Originality- Does this sprite remind us of any existing Vivillon patterns? If we did a quick search online for fan-made Vivillon patterns, do any similar to yours show up? Please note that your Vivillon can look like a different existing Pokémon or follow a theme from a book, movie, TV show, etc. Just keep in mind that mimicking a pattern that already exists will get you a low score. Anyone caught using a fan-made pattern from any source other than yourself (AKA stealing) will be disqualified and their submission rejected.

4. Personalization- Don't be afraid to give your Vivillon some flair! Feel free to use accessories on it, though if you get them from anywhere other than yourself or an official Pokémon source, mention it! Keep in mind that you are not required to add anything if you don't want to, and also keep in mind that you can over-accessorize and hurt your score rather than help it. (Entries without any extra accessories get an automatic score of 3 in this category. Entries with extra accessories will gain or lose points based on how well they are used.)

The judges will rate the entries and the top 10 will be numbered and go up for public vote here in this thread. You will all pick one entry out of the top 10, and the one with the most votes wins! There will be separate voting numbers for Stationary and Animated entries.


Quote from How long does the contest go for?The contest sign-ups start April 6th (server time) and end April 20th (server time). Entries will be taken from April 20th until May 4th (server time). Judging for the top ten will run from May 4th until May 11th and public voting on the top 10 entries will go from May 11th until Ma 18th. Winners will be announced May 20th.

Please, if you have any questions that aren't answered somewhere on this post, feel free to ask! If the answer is here and you just missed it, I'll point it out. If the answer isn't here, I'll add it because you might not be the only one with your question!

One thing I'd like to point out as well is that I made the blank sprites. Please do not use them outside of this contest. If you want to use your colored Vivillon anywhere else, give credit to me for the base.

To answer the question of "Can I do more than one?" I have updated this bit here ^^
Please only submit one. If you have two or more, you have more chances to win. So to be fair to those who are only doing one, just pick your best one if you make multiple. :)
