Ok, so I'm not exactly the greatest artist ever, but I like trying stuff from time to time so I thought I'd make a thread for it. So far I've been doing spriting almost exclusively. Most of the stuff I've made has been edited trainer sprites, but recently I decided to start trying to sprite fakemons and make sprite fusions. Anyway, here's the stuff: Spoiler: Trainer Sprites Mr.Popo: Gaara: Hercule: Deathstroke: Mihawk: Batman: Superman: Bane: Poison Ivy: Harley: Zero: Soldier: Riddler: Buu: Piccolo: Kakashi: Kenshin: Shanks: Barney the Dinosaur: Bob the Builder: Barney Stinson: Spoiler: Fusions Rampfro: Pachifurrga: Stoutrayena: Pidgiary Raptor: Siginoir: Tyggroudon: Sarixeggius: Dralotteon: Nightmare: Stunvile: Rhyphiodon: Banette+Machamp: Urgoskhan: Spoiler: Other I'll be adding more stuff as I make it and I might try my hand at making other kinds of art as well. I might attempt a theme eventually. Spoiler: Former Request Guidelines NOW ACCEPTING TRAINER SPRITE REQUESTS Info / Guidelines on the trainer sprite requests:[secret]Moving on, as promised, starting now I will be accepting requests for trainer sprites. The way these requests will work is as follows: The person requesting will provide me with a picture of someone(preferably 2D art) and the name of said person/character. I shall find the appropriate sprite to make an accurate representation of the character. DO NOT request overly complex characters. It's not that I won't make the sprite, but it probably won't come out well, seeing as spriting has it's limitations. Once I finish making the requested sprite I will send it in PM to the person who requested it and add it to the OP, without posting about it's completion in the thread. Once I've compiled 4 completed sprites I will post an update post here containing them. The requests shall be done on a "first come-first serve" basis. My workrate will be roughly 1 sprite per day. If I miss a day I will try my best to make up for it.
You are awesome man. Half of those trainer sprites are featured in the custom trainer sprites folder we made some time ago, and there is a reason... :)
UPDATE: Adding a new category for refined ADV Trainer Sprites(Refined=Resized and Recoloured) [secret]Brawly: Bruno: Drake: Steven: Triathlete: Expert: Ranger:[/secret]
Time to bump this thing after more than half a year. My exams are over so I've decided to start spriting again. Might start taking requests for trainer sprite related stuff, but I have to refamiliarize myself with them first. Since my return thus far I've made 3 sprites, all according to the themes of the splicing contest which I unfortunately missed. I did not and will not do the theme of the second round seeing as it essentially has to real limitations and I found it inspirationally dull. ("lolololol lets splice coolmons together and add some flames to the final splice!"). Anyway, here's the sprites: [secret]Tropical Paradise Pokemon: Shiny: Desert Dweller: Shiny: Mythic Aquatic Creature: Shiny: [/secret] EDIT: Made both missing shinys.
Some of the trainer sprites are blotchy and lack form, though I do see some that I like, such as the Gaara Sand Clone. I also love your fusions; most seem very clean-cut and work well together.
I assume you're mainly referring to some of my earlier sprites, though there's a few later ones I'm not completely pleased with. If you want to give specific examples of which ones need improvement I'm not against fixing them now. I've honestly wanted to fix them for a while, but usually felt like making something new instead. Also, thanks for the compliment on the fusions. EDIT: If you mean the refined ones, I already know about those. The problem with them was that they had to be resized from gen 3 and I was doing them all rather quickly for a project that died soon after. I've intended to get to those as well.
This referring to what I think it is? lol And I'm just going to guess you had the motivation to bump this after some small talk about the spriting contests. Those last three you posted are pretty good, what's the dragonair spliced with?
It's referring to Tears Of Tomorrow's Gaia project, not the hack :x Nah, I already planned to do it. I quite liked the idea of the themes and wanted to have a go at them. The main reason I wasn't spriting all this time was that this year I had a large amount of schoolwork to attend to and spriting, at least for me, is pretty time-consuming. As for the Dragonair splice: Dragonair's body and head, with the top of the head from Milotic, part of Samurott's horn as it's horn and one of it's armor things as a chest plate, Vaporeon's neck flap, Samurott's tail, Milotic's eye. The Normal one's colour pattern is from Wartortle, shiny is Luvdisc pink/light red and the red from Azumaril's mouth with white and grey from normal Dragonair.
I can see them fine, but there was a warning that because I sorted them into albums the direct links may have changed. I'll relink them all. EDIT: Relinked everything. Also added two sprites I'd forgotten to add a long time ago Kenshin and Wallace
Really like Steven. Spoiler They should really include this in the next update, as Trainer Sprites :x[/HIDE]
The front body part of it is Exeggutor+Hariyama's head :3 I plan on making a theme once I've made enough trainer sprites actually. If you want to download them as is here's the links to the edited trainer sprites and the refined trainer sprites. You can download them as a package from there, though there's a few kinda bad ones which I haven't included in the thread.
Time for an update. I have finished making the splice for the Nightmare theme of the final of the Ultimate Splice Contest. Here's that: [secret]Normal: Shiny: Info on parts: Spoiler The face is the body from the D/P Dusknoir action sprite. The thing on top of the horns with the smoke coming out of it is Darkrai's turtle-neck-ish thing, while the actual smoke is from Musharna. The skull-gem on the horns is from Houndoom, as are the bones around the ribcage. The hands are from Haunter. The body is Cresselia's, with Mightyena's fur on it.[/secret] I also made shiny sprites for all my previous fusions:[secret] [/secret] Moving on, as promised, starting now I will be accepting requests for trainer sprites. The way these requests will work is as follows: The person requesting will provide me with a picture of someone(preferably 2D art) and the name of said person/character. I shall find the appropriate sprite to make an accurate representation of the character. DO NOT request overly complex characters. It's not that I won't make the sprite, but it probably won't come out well, seeing as spriting has it's limitations. Once I finish making the requested sprite I will send it in PM to the person who requested it and add it to the OP, without posting about it's completion in the thread. Once I've compiled 4 completed sprites I will post an update post here containing them. The requests shall be done on a "first come-first serve" basis. My workrate will be roughly 1 sprite per day. If I miss a day I will try my best to make up for it. You may only make one request at a time, unless there's absolutely nothing high-priority on my to-do list. Not that this concerns any of you particularly much, it's mainly for my own benefit so I can keep track of what I have to do, but I will be adding a to-do list to the OP. I guess people waiting for their requests to be completed could use it to estimate approximately how long they'll have to wait for their sprite, but I don't think anyone would really care enough to check. Anyways, you can all start requesting.
Art exists for those who appreciate it. It's a completely subjective matter, and it's natural that there will be those who like it and those who dislike it. You're entitled to having your opinion on it and so are others. Criticism is always welcome, as long as it's constructive and there's something to be gained from it. Posting vague, non-constructive criticism a) is not beneficial to me in the least, b) makes you come off as a douche. It's as pointless and as hate comments on the youtube videos for mainstream songs. I'm completely aware of the fact there's people who won't like what I do and I honestly couldn't care less. The only thing I request of these people is that they either post something that helps me become better at what I do or just don't post anything at all.
Make a trainer sprite of Sir Arthur from Ghost N' Goblins please: Spoiler I know this may come off as a shocker, but I really like Ghost N' Goblins...[/HIDE]
Time for an update, made a few sprites and fixed others. [secret]Sir Arthur: Harley Quinn: The Joker & Harley: ---------> ---------> ---------> --------->[/secret] Also, requests for trainer sprites are open for anyone who missed the original post in which I stated it.
NOW ACCEPTING TRAINER SPRITE REQUESTS On that note, PewDiePie sprite please? :D There's 2D fanart of him: Spoiler [/HIDE]
