The Workshop

Requester: Steorra
Tournament name: National Dex Swiss
Projected Deadline (Sign-Up thread goes live): A week from now but whenever works.
Art Direction: Some combination of Mega Charizard Y, gholdengo using an Electric Z-Move, Tapu Lele, Ferrothorn, Great Tusk, and Terapagos. Leave the best idea to you
 
Requester: Kinzo Mcthelegit
Tournament name: ND Homefield Trios
Projected Deadline (Sign-Up thread goes live): March 10th
Art Direction: We would like an art featuring Cobalion, Terrakion and Virzion. The artist has complete freedom to decide on the concept and settng for the artwork. Thank you in advance!
I'd like to give this a try, I'll have drafts ready by Thursday, February 27 and a final or two (if no reply) by Sunday, March 2.
 
Requester: Amaranth on behalf of the RBY section
Tournament name: RBY World Cup (last year's thread here)
Projected Deadline (Sign-Up thread goes live): March 3rd, 2025
Art Direction: A trophy with the label of RBY World Cup (not fussed about specific shape if you have a cool design in mind, but maybe something resembling or inspired by the FIFA World Cup trophy could be neat). The trophy has an additional base which features the mascots of the past winners - the German Rhydon and a Slowbro whose shell/tail is colored with the motifs of the US flag. (Ideally you are also available to add further winner mascots to this design as the years pass, but we could always get other artists to help in the future)

Requester: Voltix
For: Doubles LC 2025 Circuit
Art Direction: The art is mainly intended to be the banner of every tour of the circuit. I would like to give the artist full freedom about the concept, but ideally the art should feature Doubles LC Pokemon like Misdreavus, Stantler, Elekid, Vullaby, Mudbray, Grookey, etc... any other pokemon from the Tier 2 or even Tier 3 of the Viability Ranking (link given) should work as well. Any doubts or suggetions, you can DM me or contact me on discord (voltix#2487)
Needed for: Ideally for March 3rd if possible, or any day of that week at least.

Extending the needed date to the week of March 10th. Hoping someone can take this, we will use it for the whole year.
 
Requester: Rarelyme
For: RarelyUsed roomintro wooo
Projected Deadline: no real deadline!
Art Direction: So we'd like something fitting the roomintro dimensions with dedicated areas for buttons (minimum 3 but 4 would be great) and in a location preview kind of style with RU Pokemon on it. A welcoming landscape that resembles the location preview of Pokemon Red and Green's Victory Road would look great for instance. "RarelyUsed" should appear somewhere and be quite big so either include it in the landscape (like the Victory Road sign) or I also thought about a long banner held by a flying Flygon which could look good. About the Pokemon which should be featured on the art, I already mentioned Flygon but Registeel and Reuniclus would also be great to have. If they could be showed in more interesting postures then just a sprite pose that would also be super cool, like Registeel could be picking up an apple from a tree (lefties reference yk) and Reuniclus could be playing with a Life Orb looking object or be intrigued by something resembling the Rocky Helmet. Anyway I first and foremost hope the artist who takes this on has fun with it and can do something they are proud of! Since it's for the roomintro, our expectations are somewhat high as you can probably understand but we are very open to discuss and help as much as we can on this so both parties are happy with the result!
 
Requester: Amaranth on behalf of the RBY section
Tournament name: RBY Ladder Tournament (last year's thread here)
Projected Deadline (Sign-Up thread goes live): March 3rd, 2025
Art Direction: Alakazam in the act of climbing a literal ladder, it can be standalone or maybe the ladder can be leaning on a 'textbox' that says RBYLT or RBY Ladder Tournament. Don't mind any style, but something retro / "gen1-ish" would be cool if possible

Requester: BandedBodyPress
For: Camove Chaos
Projected Deadline: Preferably end of March, can be extended if needed
Art Direction: Mega Diancie making an excited pose, looking at the viewer. Mega Diancie's crystals are also different colors, all colored to represent each of the 18 types. There'd be a ribbon banner above Mega Diancie has the word "Camove" in it, and bold text below saying "Chaos".

Thank you!

Requester: a fairy on behalf of Unofficial Metagames
Tournament name: Unofficial Metagames Blind Draft
Projected Deadline (Sign-Up thread goes live): today, but lasts for 3 weeks
Art Direction:
two-three Pokemon wearing (silly) blindfolds, indicating bidding amounts (think 3,000 or 5,500 or 15,000 - standard team tour bidding values) via little signs or something (think the little circle signs that showed up in the recent SOTU event in the US). If a third Pokemon is included, I think it might be a bit humorous to have them lifting the blindfold or otherwise "cheating", peeking at what the other Pokemon are bidding.
Pokemon that are relevant to UMs that you could consider using:
this is a non-exhaustive list primarily based on what I remember from my Open runs and UMPL
NFE: Tinkatink, Vigoroth, Quaxwell
AG: Miraidon, Koraidon, Calryex-Shadow-Rider
2v2 Doubles: Incineroar, Flutter Mane, Iron Hands
Ubers UU: Landorus-I, Magearna, Arceus
1v1: Primarina, Iron Hands, Meowscarada
ZU: Floatzel, Passimian, Charizard
 
Requester: April
For: OM Interviews Project, old image lost when Discord embeds stopped working
Deadline: N/A
Art Direction:

Regigigas sitting at a talk-show set in front of an empty chair, holding out the microphone towards the viewer or the empty chair. between the two chairs is a small desk/table with little photos of leafeon, regirock/nidoking, and talonflame representing the hosts of the event this generation (myself, berry, and UT)

ty artists i appreciate everything you do ;w;
