Who is Quanyails?

On Smogon, I'm a contributor to the Create-a-Pokémon Project. I make raster graphics (drawings and paintings), pixel art, and on several occasions, 3D models and scripts. In addition, I get involved in CAP discussion and policy review, and I facilitate the CAP process. I upload all of my art, Smogon-specific or otherwise, to my DeviantArt account.

Smogon Biography

I joined Smogon during Generation V, when TMs became reusable, Pokécheck allowed for "downloads" of competitive Pokémon, and in general, it was a lot easier to get into competitive Pokémon. That's when I discovered the Create-a-Pokémon Project, and I was sucked in. I created an account on the Smogon forums in December of 2011 to submit sprites to the CAP Project. Despite the blow to my teenage self's artistic ego, I stuck around, made friends (and enemies), and kept contributing to the CAP Project.

In June of 2017, I became a moderator for the CAP forums, and in January of 2018, I became an administrator of the CAP Discord server. I've also done the following in other places on Smogon:

  • Contributed to the Gen. VI Sprite Project
  • Created Pokémon Showdown! April Fools Day sprites
  • Made custom PS! avatars for others
  • Created a default PS! background
