Spriting Contest - Contest #8: Spriter of the Month: Ice-cold Claws - NEXT CONTEST COMING SOON

Given that I can post my works in progress, I may as well share what I have so far.



Made in about a couple hours of boredom from (mostly) scratch. I wanted to do something a little bit different, so I decided to model my first sprite on the figure of Krampus. Please Bear in mind that it is still in development (faces are my kryptonite; I have more poses sketched out; not happy with the drowning pot). Anyway, I wanted to drop this here while I had some time.

I'd share with you all a sprite 2, but I don't have any solid plans for that yet, not to mention a lack of free time.
 
I think ill try to participate :)
I cant promise anything since i havent sprited at all but thats a great motivation. Also awesome work to all those spriters out there !
 
So, I was lazy and made these sprites:
Sprite 1!


Sprite 2!


Credits to Galifia for the Trevenant Sprite.
The Trevenant is badly painted with green and yellow and has red decorations and ornaments. It's leaves on it's head were trimmed and coloured to a star-like object.
The Sudowoodo is pretty much the same concept except that it's goodly painted and his crest is coloured yellow, as to replace a star. His hands are solid, right?
 
I noticed I still had time, so I guess I'll enter.

Sprite #1


Delibird with a santa hat with Sawsbuck Spring/Winter with some Christmas ornaments.

Sprite #2

I dunno, I just felt like making her festive.

My first vote goes to VuvuzelaBzz, Hiker template being the perfect santa candidate really helps the sprite stands out.
Pretty much the whole X-mas package is there, santa + presents + reindeer nothing much else to say, nice one~


Second vote goes to OfficialThatGuy, Sawsbuck looks really majestic here + all the decorations is a huge plus.
As the [Seasonal] Polar Opposite's mascot, Delibird fits perfectly here to make it an outstanding entry overall, great job!

Firstly, I vote for S0L1D G0LD



This sprite is trully amazing and made by scratch that's a really nice job here, too bad you didn't have time to make the other one, it would have been really great !

My second vote goes to VuvuzelaBzz


This sprite is really funny I like the fact that you have taken a back sprite of Delibird to be like the trainer position and the recolorization is very nice
 
Both of my votes go for OfficialThatGuy.
He has really good creativity and marvelous, gorgeous sprites.
:^)

My first vote goes to:
SiTuM'parleT'mort


This is a beautiful sprite, the shading, the details, everything is perfect.
------------
My second vote goes to:
S0L1D G0LD

Very creative and original Crampus! The details are astonishing.
 
OK so first of all as you might not know that I was grounded in late December around Christmas (I know it sucks. Poor me.). So yeah I couldn't make any Christmas sprite sorry guys. And now onto the main thing:
I vote for SiTuM'parleT'mort sprite 2 because it looks really pretty especially with all that fancy decor and detailing.

I also vote for VuvuzelaBzz sprite 2. It certainly captures whole idea of Christmas in a nutshell with Santa, Rudolph and well presents.

Rest everyone had came up with great sprites as well. Gg to all participants.

Sprite #1: Traveling Merchant


I like RPGs, they're my favorite genre, Merchants throughout the map are a common thing in them, but not in Pokemon (Main series). I think we could see in a next gen a merchant-like trainer, in which would battle you, but also give out goods for prizes and sell you stuff.

Her Potential Pokemon Team:


Kecleon:
This is mostly because of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, where there's a merchant Kecleon that you can find throughout the dungeons.



The Meowth family:
Think about money and Pokemon. Most likely the thing that will pop-out in your mind will be Meowth.



The Purrloin family:
A mischievous cat, that likes to steal, it can steal the merchants items, why else would you think she'd be with them? It can also learn Pay-Day.


-------------------------------------------

Sprite #2: Draconid


It's an ancient tribe, first shown in ORAS. They are vaguely explained and the only members known is Zinnia and her grandmother (Games) and in the manga they have a village, I think they should appear in a next game, due to their unexplained race, in which they should have a better story.

Their Potential Pokemon Team:
I think they should give a hard time to the player, for some difficulty, and they are usually tied to strong Dragon-type Pokemon.

The Salamence and Altaria Family:
They originate from Hoenn, and is one of the signature Pokemon of Zinnia. They can be found in Meteor Falls or outside of it, for the latter, close to their Village.


Pseudo-legendaries Family
Lance, a Dragon Tamer and Elite 4 Member/Champion is a specialist in dragon-type Pokemon, but it is known to use other types of Pokemon from similar designs and power. Zinnia is also known to use other types of Pokemon, Whismur, but not in battle.

Priest (M)

Explanation:
Religion has never been a big thing in Pokemon, if I remember correctly though there is a church in DPP. But throughout all the games there are spirits and people possessed by spirits. It only seems as if there needs to be someone to cleanse the people of these spirits.
Potential Pokemon
Togepi Line

So Togepi and its line are known for good luck (cough cough paraflinch) which if you didn't know, Priest tend to bless newly born children for good luck.
Litwick Line
Now I know I just said that Priest cleans bad spirits but there are also good spirits as well. Also candles are very important for cleansing and are sort of "holy"

When Christianity was first becoming a thing having a cross was illegal so they used fish as a symbol, also Alomomola is a cleric which sort of fits into the purifying theme.


Iggy Azalea

Entry #1: Princess

I sprited her with a more "kingdom-y" setting, with towns being replaced by kingdoms. Each kingdom would have a unique Princess. In my sprite's case, her kingdom would be more of a winter kingdom. I didn't have the time to work on the 3 other dress ideas so yeah. And yes, I based her design from Weiss Schnee :p

Team:

Each Princess would have a feminine mon that would fit her design as. In this sprite's case, it would be Froslass. A more fiery kingdom's Princess would have a Ninetales, while a nature kingdom's Princess would use a Roserade, and so on.


Aside from their specialty mon, a Princess would have a mon from the Ralts line, functioning as her guardian.


Lastly she would have a "trademark mon" from her kingdom, or any mon from that line. Like Aurorus in that ice kingdom for example.

Entry #2: Secret :P [WIP]


Awu

Mermaid


I've decided to make a trainer class based on the mermaid because I wanted to make it exclusive to a specific area which is underwater. Mermaids are specialized with Water pokemons obviously

Pokemons used by Mermaids




Triton


Male equivalent of the Mermaid trainer class, he can also only be found under the water. The main difference between Mermaids and Tritons is that Tritons are also using Electric pokemons

Pokemons used by Tritons



shinylyni

Magical Girl

Well, more like a cosplayer as I'm 99% sure there would be some sort of magical girl/boy anime available in the Pokemon world and people of all ages would be able to enjoy it. They'd probably be more common at a convention, but regardless they'd still be pretty cool.

Pokemon Used:

(Mismagius is not a reference to witches in Madoka Magica)

Magical Boy

Same as Magical Girl, but... well, it's a boy. I'd like to think there's actually more magical boys because the show is ridiculously action-packed, but eh.

Pokemon Used:

(Roserade totally isn't a reference to Tuxedo Mask)




WINNER OF THE CONTEST:
Spriter of the Month - 1st place:
Awu - 9 votes in total


2nd place: OfficialThatGuy - 8 votes in total
