Ryugotchi Scene Creation Contest

[Zapdos]

Thank you so much T__T I spent a few days on it, reading about dithering and other pixel stuff, turned out to be not as complicated as I thought it would be. Originally the pink bits were yellow, then I decided to change them up for a soft pink - so happy I did, looks much better!

The turquoise was also changed to a softer hue.

I love vaporwave, especially mallsoft - very happy I got to make a Ryu scene inspired by it! Some things are definitely a bit wonky, especially the columns and their shading but overall I'm satisfied with how it turned out. I wanted to add some palms and maybe a cassette tape but then I thought it might be a bit too busy.

You could always make a second vaporwave inspired one with palms/mallsoft features!
Hopefully @(you need an account to see links) will bless us with another competition in future

Oooo I've finally had a chance to look through all the recent entries and - no shocker - they're all amazing.

@(you need an account to see links) - I love the darker color scheme of your design. It's different from what most of us put together! And those little pink flowers are so cute and the perfect pop of color on top of the dark blue. I think it looks perfect but I absolutely would've also overanalyzed the hell out of the placements of everything if I was in your shoes.

@(you need an account to see links) - this is perfect and so on brand and VERY CLEARLY a Mario Bros scene. You did awesome!!!! I recognized the reference instantly, it looks awesome. Not a failure in any way. I love it so much. It's giving me so many nostalgia vibes.

@(you need an account to see links) - just gorgeous. Those pastels are everything. I like that you used the live colorfully font in your post, that userbar + your vaporwave userbar would make my dreamy pastel cupcake userbar stack vision come true!

@(you need an account to see links) - so. cute. I love the hot air balloons! And I can really appreciate the time you took to give each balloon it's own individual color scheme and design. I too am way too scared to ride in a hot air balloon, but maybe one day! There is a hot air balloon fest about an hour out from where I live and it's always so magical watching them all light up and take off.

@(you need an account to see links): Thank you so much :o i'm finding i've misplaced some pixels still but somehow i thought it was ending that same evening and i didn't have more time at the time :p still i'm not unhappy about my own creation for once so that's a win right there

Holy noodles, I can't believe how incredible all these entries are?! I would like 12 of each please!!!

@(you need an account to see links) - this is so beautiful! I love how evocative it is of a foggy jungle, you really get those good, almost-spooky Indiana Jones vibes.

@(you need an account to see links) - you entry made me smile, it's so cheerful and lovely! And you were so thoughtful with the white space so you can see the Ryu <3

@(you need an account to see links) - holy CRAP, my dude this is absolutely incredible! 12/10, pure artistry

@(you need an account to see links) - I love bees, so this entry really made my heart soar. I especially love your proposed unlocking mechanism!

@(you need an account to see links) - I was so excited to see this WIP on Discord and the finished thing is truly incredible! On Cloud Nine is also AMAZING and I wish that you could have had all your entries count, because they were all beautiful.

@(you need an account to see links) - I am so weak for this 90's aesthetic and the colours are to die for! <3

@(you need an account to see links) - I don't know what witchcraft you did to make it look like there's actual glow, but you did and it's absolutely beautiful. Proposed mechanism is EVIL and I love it.

@(you need an account to see links) - your entry broke my brain. I don't know how you created such a detailed masterpiece. It reminded me so much of FFVII when you're running from the train where you meet Aerith!

@(you need an account to see links) - S P A C E! I love the colours of your entry so much and how much personality your little planets have! I also love the shading in your sky, just lovely!

@(you need an account to see links) - the lace-like effect is :chef's kiss: it's so delicate and romantic, and transports me to a sunset in Rivendell!

@(you need an account to see links) - I absolutely love all the things that you've made/shared with us for this, and your entry is so wonderful! I love how your lotuses almost seem to have a shine inside of them!

@(you need an account to see links) - this really hit me with nostalgia! I love the colours you used and the amount of detail you added <3

@(you need an account to see links) - I SWOONED at your entry!!!! The colours! The details! For some reason it reminded me of the way that Charn is described in the Magician's Nephew!

@(you need an account to see links) - your balloons are absolutely adorable! I especially love the way that a big dragon would look floating around all that colour!

@(you need an account to see links) Thank you T__T Now that you mention, it does remind me of Charn too!! I think that's pretty much how I imagined it when I was reading that part initially, maybe without the pink hues and more grey, haha. Like an early-morning kind of grey

[Bat]

I definitely agree with Michael. I want pretty much every one of these scenes to get added. They're so amazing! I had no idea that there were so many talented artists hiding out in this community ♥

Yes! I remember it described as being bathed in the glow of a dying sun, so I sort of imagined everything is kind of grey and red at the same time? But honesty, just fantastic work on your entry! I'm so excited to see Bat implement all of these
