Hey all! Time for sprite work to start as well! We already have a small Sprite for Privatyke below (Which was created by Cartoons! way back in the day):

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.
  • 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.

Had this sitting around for a while. Gave Cartoons!'s sprite a back.

I made the shiny sunburnt orange like Arghonaut's shiny, but I have no idea about the other colors. :P

Edit: Made a final submission. I boosted the saturation of the green and blue on the shiny.
Edit 2: Went full parrot on Privatyke's shiny, after feedback by Darqueeze. :)

So I altered Cartoons' original sprite and tried to make it closer to the official art. Most notably this means I made the arms thinner and removed the almost bicep like bulge of the arm on the left side of the sprite. I also made the white crest on the chest a slightly different shape (to match the official art a bit better) and thinned out the brown around the eyes a bit. There's probably a bunch of other small changes that no one will ever notice so I won't bother explaining.

For the shiny I just really didn't want to go the same route as Arghonaut since his shiny hurts my eyes (yes sprites are generally oversaturated but certain colors like orange and green are really jarring when oversaturated). I settled with a darker, less green blue.

Here's a background test just to see the mons on different colors:
