Hello! Welcome to the Spriter's Club! Whether you're a newbie to the spriting world, or a master looking to share your work, this is the club for you! This club is an accepting group where people can share their sprites and get criticism, advice, and overall become a better spriter! While we accept all skill levels, we will not accept anybody who doesn't read the rules.

Rules:
Show hidden content

1. Please don't make meaningless, random posts (SPAM)
2. This is club is about improving, which means you'll be getting a lot of criticism on your work. If you are not ready for it yet, please put in your post that you would not like criticism on that sprite.
2.1. If your post is being ignored, after 30 minutes of your post being up and no response to it, then you may re-post it once. I will handle it if people ignore it after that.
3. Stealing art will be reported. If you see stolen art, please tell a moderator, or one of the actual website moderators, do not post it in a forum and give that art stealer the attention they want.
3.1. Keep in mind that sprite editing using an existing sprite is not really stealing, since the official Pokémon sprites are OK to use/sprite with.
4. While we love all types of art, this club is specifically for sprites, and maybe some pixel art. There are many other clubs for you if you like digital art, writing, cooking, or any other art form at all!
5. If you are new to spriting, please look at the Helpful Links section before posting your questions here. While we love to help newer spriters, lets not clog the thread!
6. Tell me if you have any more concerns, or suggestions for new rules.


Helpful Links For Newbies:

Show hidden content

If you're a new spriter, reading about the spriting basics is almost as important as practicing. Here will be some helpful links that will give you some information on different ways to sprite!

The Spriter's Guide To Spriting is a great read if you know next to nothing about spriting, or are stuck on a certain aspect of spriting.
This spriting school is a bit inactive, but I think that it's a great school if anybody was willing to start it back up again.

I will add more helpful links as time goes on.

I recently did a sprite over of the Fairy Tale Girl from XY (Where I shrink the official art down to the size I want and sprite over the top in the style of the pokemon sprites)
So... how does it look?

Ooh~ It's really nice! I like the shading and overall placement of everything. If I had to give any criticism, I would say that making the overall sprite more detailed and making the eyes look more like a Fairy Tale Girl would be cool~ Maybe also experiment with the pose a bit? I find it fun to sprite something that looks very similer to the original Pokemon's pose then re-doing a couple parts differently from scratch! Its really fun, and great practice for somebody like me who has trouble making poses without referencing something heavily, not saying you would have any trouble with that stuff.

It's really challenging to make more detailed eyes, expecially since I only have four pixels to work with. Also I basically traced the official art, so I only claim a very small amount of credit.

Also I suck at human anatomy so trying to scratch a human in the style of pokemon would be the end of me. animal anatomy is so much easyer

I'll try and post more scratch sprites soon, and feel free to use the fairy tale girl if you want.

In other news... owo

I finished my Oricorio sprites! I tried to make them look different to the original art by changing their positions a bit but it isn't really noticeable and I couldn't even do anything to Pom-Pom over there- rip Oricorio Balie Style..



The Pom-Pom Oriocorio is my favorite, but Sensu Style was the most fun to make.

I made some meloetta fusions with an Ice and Fire princess theme, fusing the Aria form with froslass (and can I say that I love Froslass color palette) and Pirouette form with Volcorona. I scratched all the editions.


@Lemon
They are great sprites overall, but I still have a few critiques. My first would be that the sprites, other the Balie style, would be quite large when compared to other official sprites. I would recommend making the dimensions similar to those of other bird pokemon. My other is that the sprites shading seems off. I recommend making the contrast higher (making the shading darker and highlights lighter) and using less shading in the direction which the light source is. (Sorry for late reply)
