Sticky X/Y Sprite Project

Wow, there are looking awesome. Great job, guys!
I have made some choice QC for Fennekin
Mostly yellow and white colour but also giving neck a shape.
Just a reminder new folks: We do have a spreadsheet on the first post with some fine sprites already done. Follow the spreadsheet. If you just give a front I'm less likely when I already have a matching front and back.

I might as well also post to say the I'm going to start reorganizing the chart based on Kalos dex minus old gen mons, we have a decent list here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/spoilers-pokémon-xy-leaks-discussion.3489007/#post-4859294
We should continue to do this as leaks occur.
Also Espurr confirmed by our most trusted leaker, pic included.OMG, you guys are too talented haha
Been lurking this thread for a whole day and some change now, and honestly the thought of doing sprites for PS when XY came out excited me...Several years ago, I used to do a TON of spriting since all I had was a Windows 98 computer, MS Paint was my go-to outlet for digital art. So it grew on me as a big hobby that I often did for fun, and I also used my skills when doing ROM Hacks, another hobby of mine from back in the day. Unfortunately I kinda...fell out of it.
Dunno how or why, but seeing this got me real eager to want to take a crack at it, so I threw together a Quilladin sprite from scratch. Unfortunately I have no backsprite right now (and I was too lazy to make it transparent since I spent about an hour and a half and it's kinda late), but I'd like some feedback perhaps:
a leaked image of the game finally has given us a proper quilladin backspite source (i.e not in the middle of a move).
elcheeso's is really good but the proportions are a bit off, as it can clearly be noted here. I cannot sprite myself but if anyone has the interest to revamp the existing one this may help.I'm not a spriter, although I might be able to help with perspective by providing art to sprite over. I haven't drawn Pokemon in a while though, so I'll need a few days to get back into the style ^^;I will see if I can do any the next days, I would be really glad to help the project!Hey folks,
I have deleted a number of posts in this thread, and need to share a number of reminders with you.
This is not a place to show off XY sprites you have made in the past. This is a project to create front and back "ingame" sprites for XY pokemon in the style of pokemon black and white.
If you would like to share sprites that are not for this project, please do so in this thread here.
Please read the first post to find layell's spreadsheet and note which pokemon have already been completed.
If you do not follow the instructions of this thread, your post will be removed and you may be given a warning. Lots of people have worked very hard to get this project to where it is currently-- if you would like to contribute please make sure you are contributing properly!
Thank you!
I have a few tips for everyone who is coming in to help with the project.
The big one is, of course, to check the spreadsheet as Layell has mentioned. I see people throwing out sprites in this thread without checking the spreadsheet. For many pokemon, we already have rough front and back sprites, and there's QC needed more than more sprites. If there is not, or you think your front and back sprites are better than the ones up there, please add them separately.
That brings me to my second word of advice. We have people that are phenomenal with creating front sprites, whether through making pixel-overs or scratching, but we have fewer people that are just as capable of making back sprites. If you decide to make a sprite, please try to make a back sprite to accompany the front. Consistency between front and back sprites is good: If another artist sprites a back sprite, people may see a jarring difference in art styles between two sprites.
Thirdly, be aware of the size and pose of your sprites. Just because an image is in pixels does not mean it fits in-game sprites. Consider:
Is Furfrou a giant of a pokemon that rivals Reshiram in size? It's a poodle, which is closer to the size of other canine pokemon.
Thankfully, sprites can be scaled down relatively easily--it's less likely that a spriter creates a sprite too small and must scale it up.
Make sure that the sprites made are in a relatively neutral pose, too! We'd like the sprites to all be animated at some point, and a dynamic pose may look unusual when it's idly moving. Compare your sprites to the ones in-game if you have concerns over likenesses to Gen. V ones. :)
I've been working primarily on the spreadsheet instead of posting material here. Tyrantrum (with help from elcheeso and Wyverii), Doublade, and Espurr are my most recent additions.
Edit: Partially ninja'd!Thanks! I'm really no expert with sprites so crits are super helpful. I can definitely make back-sprites though since I'm more used to drawing than... spriting haha, and that's what's involved. Anyhow it looks like you shrink the front sprite so I'll just work making the back view smaller, then I can do uhmmm... another pokemon haha.What I've had so far, in anticipation for something like this:
Edit: Litleo, Flabebe, Clauncher, and Skrelp.
Hey, so I thought I'd stop by and give this stuff a glance. I do like your sprites but I have to agree, Litleo looks a little wonky compared to the rest. I know his official appearance is wonky to begin with, but I believe he has a larger head and longer limbs relative to his body. And, his backsprite is a little inconsistent with the front one. If it's alright with you, I'd like to give him a shot. One other suggestion is that while your shading is very neat and clean, it also seems kind of reserved and hugging the edges, making it look a little like pillow shading. Flabebe's shading is wonderful, but Clauncher has the highlights directly on the other side of the shades in his larger claw. However, besides that, it's wonderful and that's saying something becuase I love that crab guy dearly.
And, if it's OK with you- may I give Litleo a shot and perhaps even animate him? I know the rules above say that I should probably start on a new sprites, but I don't know if I have any concepts for others yet. And, you've made quite a lot, so if it helps to take a bit of the workload off. XDOkay....... I REALLY need to check the thread more carefully, sorry about that.
Edit: Meh, I might as well reserve Espurr (if it turns out to be real), if that's okay. Now, lets find out that someone has already reserved it.
Edit Edit 2: Ignore this previous edit.
Edit 3: I checked the spreadsheet, and I will reserve Swirlix's evo.Last edited:Users Who Are Viewing This Thread (Users: 1, Guests: 0)
