Spriter Applications - CLOSED

I totally understand that. I'm a freelance artist that was interested in possibly helping out in between paid projects because I like the game, but that's a LOT of work upfront. I personally wouldn't even touch a job posting offering $30 an hour with these requirements. On one hand, that means that the job is obviously not for me. On the other, the expectations here are rather extreme. I feel as though submitting a portfolio should be sufficient- as with most any other artist job posting. It's not 1-2 images needed, but 6+ once you count the additional icons and concept art. I certainly don't mean to be a butt or beat a dead horse. Just wish that places would be a bit more considerate of artists. My line of work is a struggle lol

Honestly, I hadn't actually considered the amount of upfront work required for the application. My head space was looking at the work required after being accepted. You make a really good point on that front, and it's given me a new perspective on the opinions being voiced here. I work as a freelance editor, so I'm kinda laughing at myself now looking at the obvious parallel there. It's so frustrating seeing how someone folks are very obviously abusing editors for free access to their work by requesting applicants edit portions of a work in progress to demonstrate their skills. (not saying that is what Pokefarm is doing, btw- just sharing the story to show I can see where you're coming from)

Alright, I have one more question! hopefully my last, but not counting on it For trial 4 (scratch), are we allowed to submit a base stage with two separate evolutions (3 Pokemon total), or do we have to stick to either a base with evolution, single stage w/ gender split, or a pair?

Yes! It's just a minimum 2 requirement, more is welcome. :)

I've got a couple quick questions! What is the workload of sprinters like? Also, does how active we are on the site factor in?

I have a question concerning activity as well. Im currently in grad school and so my workload irl is crazy. If I were to be accepted, could I take on spriting assignments projects when I feel like I dont have a heavy burden? Is there a spriting quota that all spriters have to meet?

So, for the recolor, it says I can use a PFQ Fake pokemon. Can I use the same one for one of my repose?

Just wanna say that I'm super excited for this! I'd love being able to do art in some official capacity and the anticipation is killing me!

Workload usually varies with what kinds of projects we have going on and what the spriter chooses to take on themselves. It depends on what you mean by active on the site. DO you mean days where you just don't log in, or do you just chat on the forums and don't hunt or anything? As long as communication is maintained in the staff channels, you don't have to be super active on site. Absolutely! You only take what you feel like you can accpmplish in a reasonable amount of time. There's no specific quota, but you are expected to at least finish what you grab. Yep, no restrictions on that.

Thank you for the answers on that! I'm excited!
