Spriter Applications - CLOSED
Forum Index > Core > Announcements > News Archive >
Ok so I have a question. I want to apply, but I can’t do one of the trials and that one being Scratch spriting. I would just beat myself over about how it looks. Could I still apply?

I just want to make sure I'm understanding what's needed in the application, because my brain is a little funky and I can't fully tell if I'm reading it correctly:
Trial 1 requires three different sprites of the same ONE fusion concept. (eg, if you're merging Onyx and Gyarados, you want to see three different sprites depicting an Onyx-Gyarados fusion. This set of three would NOT include an evolution, like Steelix and Gyarados).
Trial 2 requires one recolor of an existing pokemon sprite.
Trial 3 requires 2 reposed sprites (doesn't have to be the same pokemon).
Trial 4 is the ONLY trial that requires non-sprite art. It requires at minimum exactly 2 pieces of concept (eg non-sprite art) and 2 sprites, one per concept.
Do I have all that right?

Silly question, but just clarifying- the art examples are like, pixel art sprites?
Edit: Would it be possible to have an example of what a completed submission looks like? I'm a visual person, haha, so I just struggle with overthinking written instructions quite a lot. Thank you!

For recolors, we don’t have to recreate an entire sprite, do we? We’re supposed to use a preexisting sprite to then recolor?
And for fusions, the same thing? Or do you mean that we take reference from the currently existing sprites and create a fusion from scratch?
Just wanted to clarify before I start! I was too afraid to ask questions last time.

Ok, last post from me i swear, haha
trial one, we're fusing three pokemon into one new one?
What exactly is scratch spriting/scratch work? Is that like... rough lines? Similar to initial sketches in unfinished work
Could you please clarify what you mean by non-sprite art? Would these just be sort of rough sketches? Like, planning out the sprite before putting in the work of the completed sprite?
Thanks! I just want to make sure I fully understand what is required so that I don't miss anything or do something that isn't required.

If, let's say, once upon a time, I was part of the sprite team on Pokefarm 1, would I still be allowed to apply? ^.^'

I think I can help with some of the things you asked ^^
Scratch spriting means making an entirely new sprite from nothing! It comes from the phrase "starting from scratch" it still means to make a completed sprite!
Non-sprite is like, regular art. Drawings of the pokemon/fakemon. Possibly with various poses or colour themes, depending on your line of thought for the concept!
in trial four, you say icons are required. what do you mean by icons? are icons the smaller sprites of the pokémon, like those that can be seen in the display images like the image below, or is it something else entirely?
also, does concept art need to be in colour, or can a palette be included with annotations explaining where the colours will go?

How large are the icons, btw? ^^ I'm tempted to apply, but I need that info first.
