At The Foot Of The Monuntains

Little hand practice with the help of Gaster

Where did you learn to draw the pokemon pixel art style so well? Do you know any video tutorials, or could you do a small post with the techniques you use? If not, that's okay

I can assure you this post Will Not Be Small.

My interest in spriting started in I want to say 2012 or 2013 when I started binge watching pokemon fusion videos. mostly from creators like SuperSonicGX

Back In My Day we called completely original sprites scratch sprites, I still use that terminology and get confused when people don't these days. But that's just a side note. for resources and general tips I do have plenty!

The classic is, has been, and will always be the dragonfly cave spriting guide

this scorpion means everything to me.

When spriting in any style the first, most important rule is learning what limits you have. color, size, even specific palettes for some games.

For the first two generation pokemon games you had three separate sprite sizes, 40x40, 48x48, and 56x56, as seen here.

along side this requirement, these sprites also had four colors

white, also used for the background, black, a light tone, and a dark tone as seen with our friend Kingler here

the big rules to follow with spriting are remember to use space efficiently. Sometimes the whole canvas isn't needed to get the point of a sprite across!

techniques I personally use for spriting are used mostly during the sketching stage.

Such as blobbing in a silhouette and then filling it with rough color to get an idea of what to do, as seen here

helps immensely with the spriting process and means you can get sketches out very quickly.

I do want to make my own soft tutorials eventually, just timelapses to show off the process. But hopefully all this as is helps!

I did a fursona for my friend @marioio-pixelart (he/him). He's a blond wolf with short hair and a casual look. I took some creative liberties, but I think I got his vibes. The "destroy java" picture is my favourite. He would be a bit taller than Eleonora, but not much (specially with platforms shoes).

I feel like I'm getting used to the furry anatomy, but it's still a bit tricky, specially with head proportions.

who up cursing they azure bonds? these guys, i guess

ko-fi + commissions 🌃 twitch 🌃 more pixel art 🌃 do not repost

Idk what you are talking about, he's literally heterosexual, can't you see his pants aren't leggins??

Analysis so bad you don't even know what it's talking about anymore.

It stuck to the cloth.

The official design of the carapace shield is so much more horrifying than what I had imagined… I know they had to do it but if I was Rlain I would have killed everyone in Bridge 4 with a gun
