    I'll sketch up some better sketches for the Smeargle and Irish Flag Ball in Paintshop and blast 'em up here.

    Whichever the Board.ies like we can settle with. As a prototype I'll use iron-on transfers to see how it looks. You don't have to be going to VGC to get a T-shirt guys!

    There is nothing stopping us getting T-shirts printed professionally, it would be a great way for new members to spot us at the Spire for our Meet Ups!

    cool

    Guten Tag meine Freunde! Dieses ist das Deutsches Finalkampf in der älteren Abteilung von Koln!



    As I think of it and have your attention, would anyone like some simple guides on things like IVs, Evs, VGC battles and stuffs?

    I'm ashamed to have Palkia on my team, but with out one... As I have learned, we really have no hope.

    Well, not 'till our resident finalist comes to an amazing conclusion or black and white throw something AMAZING at us.

    I'm going to put this out here again.

    I will be going to VGC Madrid this weekend with SamIamNot. IF ANYONE WANTS TO I will get them a Shiny Eevee in their HEART GOLD or SOUL SILVER (not DPP), but you must be able to meet me in person BEFORE Friday Night (I don't trust anPost to get game cards to me in time). I will then ge the VGC, get your Shiny Eevee and return your game card by Monday at the earliest.

    Oh and I've not forgotten the T-shirt idea. I'm attempting to get it running by Saturday so that SamIamNot and I can fly the flag for Ireland. Have a sneaky peak of it as a Work In Progress:

    Does anyone want to suggest a name for this Smeargle?

    If it's not too personal a question (and since you suggested it, it shouldn't be :) ) how would one go about doing that?

    Well, the only two irish painters I can think of are Bacon and Orpen, neither of which make for great names.... or do they? Bacon the Boardsie Smeargle? Nah....Fergal sounds too much like Feargle... Only other artists I can think of are piss artists like Podge and Rodge... How about Splodge? :)

    Wasn't Francis Bacon gay? Our Smeargle could be gay too :p I like Splodge, but I'm open to all ideas ^_^

    I'm going to fix a few deals and get the final image up and out in the world ASAP

    Great work Buzz, brilliant drawing.

    I like Fergal, Irish name and also sounds like the dreared Feargle,

    Best of luck to you and Sam on Saturday, we'll be rooting for you;)

    Thank you for all your support, I'm getting so nervous about the VGC, I can't seem to settle on any one team. One idea going around my head is a Smeargle, so I'll have to call it Fergal if I go ahead with that idea.

    I cleaned up the artwork, so here's my final design:
    FinalDesignJpegBuzz.jpg
    I painted over the basic text to give the idea of Feargle painted it. I know it looks a little sloppy, but he has a big tail brush...

    I just have to buy a cheapy white T-Shirt since I found my T-Shirt transfers.

    Oh god it's so close now the nerves are building! My wedding will be nothing compared to this Pressure!

    Sorry for the double posting but here's the prototypes of the T-Shirt. I made mine first and SamIamNot's after that. These were simply made using cheapy T-shirts (€1.50 for SamIamNot's and €2 for mine) and iron-on transfers.

    It's really hard to take a good photo of yourself at arm's length!

    and have a random shot of the image on my chest. The logo is cool as it sits nicely on my chest IMO :p
    DSCN1255.jpg
    and this is SamIAmNot's. Notice how I corrected the fade on the Boards logo buy ironing that area for longer

    and here's it hanging up, I hope it fits him!

    dont worry buzz. Pokemon are pokemon, battles are battles, no matter what lanuage they are in. Best of luck.

    Hi guys just to let you know SamIamNot have attended the VGC here in Madrid. Unfortunally SamIamNot got knocked out in the third round while I kept the flag for Ireland flying up to Top 16. We also met random Irish people, friendly Belgium dude and I evolved into a Media Whore according to SamIamNot, after I had 4 interviews.

    Full write up to come shortly!! Thank you all for your support! =)
