So we are getting near the end! I've gotten a bit swallowed by Sun and Moon! Very much enjoying it :)

So we got some fantastic, cute af artwork from Quanyails for our prevo to Kerfluffle.



Sprite Rules
  • Sprites should be inspired by the winning design from the Art Poll. It does not need to be an exact rendition of every detail of the design; "artistic license" is granted to all spriters. However, drastic deviation from the selected art design is discouraged.
  • All sprites (front and back) can have a maximum size of 96x96.
  • All sprites (front and back) must have a complete, unbroken, distinguishable outline. It does not need to be a black outline, but it must be clearly distinguishable from the adjacent interior colors of the sprite
  • No action effects, move effects, environment effects or additional objects can be rendered on or around the pokemon.
  • Sprites must be in PNG format.
  • Use 8-bit truecolor (aka 8-bit RGB) or less. This does NOT mean 256 color mode.
  • Use transparent backgrounds.
  • All sprites must be scratch sprites that are completely original works by the spriter. Fusions of other sprites or pixel-overs of other artist's lineart are not allowed.
  • Do not alter, fuse, recolor or otherwise modify another spriter's submission unless the original artist explicitly gives permission.
  • All sprites (front and back) must use roughly the same size and pose when compared to each other.

Final Submission Post

All spriters must make a final submission post conforming to the sprite rules (listed above) and the following:
  • The post must have "Final Submission" (in bold) as the first line, with the sprites at the top, and any additional description or comments (if applicable) below them.
  • Final submissions must contain a minimum of 4 sprites - Front Normal, Front Shiny, Back Normal, Back Shiny. If spriters choose to include gender differences (Male and Female versions of each) then 8 sprites must be submitted. Gender differences are NOT required.
  • Only submit ONE PNG that contains all the submitted sprites. Please do not submit separate images for every sprite. One "cutsheet" makes it easier for mods to track submissions and ensure each complete set of sprites stay intact.
  • Only make one (1) final submission post.

All legal final submissions will be included in the sprite poll.

Advice for Spriters

There are 8 possible sprites:
  • Front Normal Male
  • Front Normal Female
  • Front Shiny Male
  • Front Shiny Female
  • Back Normal Male
  • Back Normal Female
  • Back Shiny Male
  • Back Shiny Female
In most cases, spriters post a Front Normal sprite first. Once feedback comes in and the poll nears, they make the other sprites. You do not have to make different Male and Female sprites. Typically there are only minute differences between male and female sprites, but some spriters make noticeable changes between genders, which is also fine. Shiny coloring is completely up to the spriter to choose, even if the design artist posted suggested shiny coloring with their art design submission. Please look at your transparent sprites against different colored backgrounds, not just white. In Pokémon Showdown, the sprite will be displayed on multiple background colors in battle.

Please don't post sprite animations in this thread. If you'd like to animate the winning sprite, please contact the CAP moderation team.

This thread will be open until the Dex Entries start to tie up (so at least a few days or more from now). I will give a 24 hours warning when the time comes. You can post Final Submissions from now.

Have fun!

It turns out that I have time to procrastinate, so here are pillow bunny sprites!



I'm impressed that this pre-evo got a full model and render before sprites! I love QxC4eva's squash-and-stretch and floppy-eared animation on the model. And... it also made me realize that the backside of the bunny was a bit barren. o3o I tried putting a round bunny tail in, but it clashed with the pillow corners, so I went with QxC's idea. >_>
 
note to willow616: I love the tail but you might want to angle it a bit differently and add more detail
note to quanaylis: looks pretty good, all I would suggest is to add something else, it does not need to be much but it is still a bit sparse.

I'm not sure about the details I can add to the sprite, it's pretty simple and I think the little star in the back is enough.
Slightly recalibrate some angles of the sprite becoming more round or natural, this is more noticeable in the ears.
It's probably my last wip.

Final Submission


Just made the outlines off-black.

willow616: I'd recommend you compare your sprites with other in-game sprites. Your current submission is rather giant compared to Pokemon with the same body style. It also looks like your sprite's outlines are a bit uncrisp. I see parts where the outline is larger than one pixel in width, and it could use more shading say, on the ears. Additionally, it looks like you have a small recoloring issue on the front left ear of your shiny sprite which may be in your interest to clean up.

vs.

All right? :)

Quanyails has the only legal entry, so she wins the Sprite Submissions without needing to go to a poll!
