So we are getting near the end! DJD trounced everyone with a wonderful art submission for his original creation.



Let's see what our talented spriters can do with it! Voodoll already had a front sprite (Which will be disregarded with the new sprites), which is here:



Please go wild with the new sprites as they will be replacing this one.

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!

Final Submission

For starters, here's a dolled-up version of SgtWoodsy's Doug's original sprite.



The original sprite had what I consider to be outline issues. The outlines used on the light parts would also be used on the dark parts, and vice versa, which would make the outlines weird upon recoloring. I decided to recolor the problematic outlines. At the same time, I darkened much of the outline. The original outline really looks too light when placed against a dark background!

The sprite also had a similar outline issue for the button eyes. The shadow of the white string was reused as the highlight on the button, so I separated the two colors. I meant to make this change so I could make the shiny look nice. (It turns out that I didn't need to, but it's still a good habit.)

I decided to keep Voodoom's shiny colors on Voodoll. Aragornbird's original shiny has white button eyes with black strings, and I had fixed the eye colors accordingly, but it turns out that Wyverii's updated Gen. V sprite for Voodoom changed the shiny coloration. The modern shiny for Voodoom has black buttons and white strings, the same as Voodoom's normal coloration. Hence, I kept that.

Besides those changes, I just cleaned up some details while leaving the sprite's fidelity intact. '3'

Edit: I've found out that Doug is the original spriter of Voodoll's original sprite, so he can invalidate this submission if he chooses.

Edit 2: Final submission.
