Description More stuff I've contributed to smogon over the past two months. Since people
inquired last time, here's all of the places and in what context they were used. Press Download for the real size!

Grovyle vs the Forest
Done for the 'Monthly' Art Contest (MAC) in our art forum. The current theme is
Heroism, so I figured I'd do a good ol' fashioned standoff between the hero, its
allies, and the foes. Background got sloppy though, since I made it close to the
deadline (which was later extended).

Typhlosion and Beartic
For the What's HOT in C&C? article (Contributions & Corrections), where new
strategies or uses for pokémon are what they deal with. Such as how Beartic
has been shown to fare well among legendaries.

Terrakion, Hippowdon and Gothitelle
Featured OU RMT , a showcase of a team which has been proven to work well in
the OverUsed tier. Rain and Sun are two types of weather commonly seen, while
sand is not, so in that regard this team was testing new grounds. Gothitelle also
got Shadow Tag as Dream World ability, hence why it lurks in the back.

Drillwhale and Pirate squid
Battling at full CAPacity . The Smogon community has together made many
fakemon of their own, but while they were intended to be used in battle
simulators, BatCAP is a 2D fighting game where they are used to battle in
real-time. The whole game, and art, has been created and maintained by one
guy named Cartoons!. That is genuinely amazing and should be checked out
even if you're not familiar with the CAPs at all.

Whimsicott and Jirachi
10 Most Annoying Pokémon Sets , where the pokémon shown are notorious for
abusing priority and odds in their favor.

Mantyke to Karrablast/Shelmet plus small avatars
Pokémon Biology: Combined Evolution . Another round where people try to make
sense of pokémon themselves in a scientific manner, where this theme focuses
on pokémon who requires the presence or aid of other species to evolve.

Crawdaunt avatar
Smeargle Studio update , where we go over new threads, new artists and MAC
results from our art forum by the same name.

Koffing calendar
Great Moments in Smogon History . A list of memorable 'events' and 'facts' of the
site's 'history'.


Edit: Changed the order. Image got WAY too tall.

I'm curious, do you get paid for your contributions or are they just things you do for fun. They're super spiffy.

Do for fun. They simply have a list of all articles people are planning to write, and then it's up to artists do decide which they want to contribute to. So if I make several images I only have myself to blame, ahaha. It should be mentioned that I'm not the most talented artist in the bunch, not to mention that those who work with coding and programming of the site and simulators should be even more appreciated considering how much their services cost otherwise, but as long it's fun and not a chore then it's all good practise.

Thanks for putting all the links in the description!
I, along with probably many other people, really appreciate it.
