Spriting School of VR!
Ever see all those amazing sprites in people's Signatures and all over Sprite Shops? Tired of asking people to make them for you? Want to learn how to make them yourself? Well then this is the place for you! So, how does this work? It's quite simple, really. Just post here in the thread saying you want to enroll in a class. A teacher will then take you in as their student soon after. Your teacher will be responsible for helping you improve your spriting techniques. You may only take 1 class at a time. Some classes require you to complete other classes, though. At the end of every class, your teacher will supply you with an exam. If you pass, you may go on and take other classes. When you have passed 5 different classes, you may apply to become a teacher. You will only teach the classes you have passed, and may or may not be accepted.

But there's also GIMP and Paint.NET that are free to download and use. |
I guess that means I have to enroll too, so I will! I want to enroll into this Spriting School!

Quote:
I do need some sprite help so I'm in with Infernos. |
Quote:
I've seen your sprites before, and you've got the basics down. So let's start you with something not as basic. -Granbull as Minun -Makuhita as Omastar -Typhlosion as Zangoose Quote:
|
Guess I'll enroll in revamps, since that's the kind of sprite I'm best at. :p
EDIT: never mind, misread that one post, I'll sign up for the revamps exam. |
mister out of state college professor here
I do hope you are teaching your most advanced students spriting from scratch. many great spriters never work on 100% original art simply because they were never told to do so, and it's a real shame we lose so many in that field |
i downloaded a simple paint(i typed ms paint on google and i found a website and i chose the first one.)is this ok or i have to download another program?
|
I would like to enroll as well please.
|
Yes I would like to take infernos. PM me so he can start.
|
I would like to take the Basic Recolors class.
|
I'd love to enroll, Ill take basic recolors.

First some guidelines: - Always save as .PNG or .GIF. - Never save as .JPG - When recoloring, always recolor lightest shade to lightest, darkest to darkest, etc. - Read the tutorial on the first page to learn how to recolor. Now do: Squirtle as Charmander Metapod as Kakuna Growlithe as Butterfree Quote:

Your first assignment will be. - Monochrome Treecko (Black to White) - Aqua Torchic - Flaming Mudkip Quote:

step 4 doesn't work on my MS paint, I have Windows 7, could you give me alternative instructions?
|
Quote:
All I can really tell you is to use the bucket fill technique. Replacing each color using the bucket fill. Shade by shade. |
Too late, done Pikachu-Marill manually. looks good for handmade first.
http://i56.tinypic.com/s5ha2e.png |
Quote:
http://iaza.com/work/110304C/iaza19056242779300.png I circled these outlines in red. I also put your Pikachu's outline colors next to Marill's actual outline colors. It's not that big of a problem to make you re-do it, just make sure you don't make the same mistake again. Anyways, finish your other assignments and then post them. |
Done with the other two.
http://i56.tinypic.com/10crcew.png http://i55.tinypic.com/4gizcg.png EDIT: These are fun! assign me more! |
Quote:
http://iaza.com/work/110304C/iaza19056236502700.png With the Magby, this isn't the case though. The outlines look fine and they "blend in" with the colors. They don't stand out much. Why you used gray outlines on the Cascoon and not Magby, i don't know. Now, next assignment. Poochyena as Zigzagoon Ponyta as Ekans Monferno as Marshtomp |
Quote:
|
not to intrude or anything, but where do I come in here?
|
Quote:
Or you can just wait for more to come in and post. |
Amazingly, I'm already done.

Quote:
You seem to have gotten over your outline problem. Now, I noticed that when you recolor you don't recolor everything. For example, you didn't recolor the flames on Ponyta and Monferno. When you recolor you wanna recolor everything possible. Flames, markings, etc. Make sure you do that next time. Next do: Pillowswine as Meowth Dodrio as Seviper One Pokemon of your choice as one legendary of your choice |
Wow. all that in one day.
http://i55.tinypic.com/rtjdac.png http://i55.tinypic.com/23r5xk5.png and as for my choosing: Snivy + Victini = http://i51.tinypic.com/2irur01.png |
now i have paint program.how to recolor?(basic)i read the guide but i can't understand what is saying.zoom x8?eyedrop tool?i need a lot of explanation.
|
Quote:
The little drop tool that is circled is the eyedrop tool. Zoom x8 is circled as well. Zooming in x8 is just zooming in to the max. To zoom you select the magnifying glass tool, and then pick how much you want to zoom in. Your paint should look like that or similiar. Quote:
Your next assignment is: Dunsparce as Murkrow Yanmega as Salamence Gyarados as Milotic Lopunny as Gardevoir |
http://www.victoryroad.net/picture.p...pictureid=1323
What do I win? |
|
Those Pokemon were rather odd combinations and hard to Recolor but here they are anyway,

May I take recolors instead?

I need you to look at my Sprites I did so I can get my second set of sprites to do NismoZ.

it has zoom but it doesn't say how is zooming.i can zoom.
so how to recolor?the guide says zoom to the pokemon you want to take the colors.how to put the pokemon in the paint program? |
First you must save your sprites to your computer, then you open up Paint, go to "Edit" and select "Paste From". Once you're there, you must select the sprites you want to recolor.
|
i've made my very first recolor!hooray.how to post it here?

Quote:
sign up to an image hosting site, (iaza requires no sign up) post your image, then get the link of it, then when posting, click post image, then insert the link. Anyway, i'll have the sprites done by tommorow. I have to do homework today. :( |
Okay, maybe I will get them done today.
http://iaza.com/work/110306C/iaza17927988368700.png The only reason I left Slowkings frill out is because Cansey is short of colours. |
I am finished. These were not as challenging as the last were but still tough.

Secondly, the outlines aren't recolored. You still have Shaymin's green and gray outlines on it. If you look at everybody else's sprites, you can see they have the outlines recolored to blend with the newer colors. Just keep that in mind when you recolor. :wink: Quote:
One more assignment and then an exam: Sazandora as Ulgamoth Pendoraa as Haxorus Uxie as Mesprit |

Now for your exam: Dialga as Palkia Regigigas as Darkrai Ho-Oh as lugia Deoxys as Rayquaza |
Sorry for my latency, I was playing Black.
anyways, here's my sprites: http://i55.tinypic.com/1iequ0.png http://i54.tinypic.com/rtj9s4.png http://i55.tinypic.com/2mr8d4j.png |
Quote:
Time for your exam: Lugia as Raikou Dialga as Giratina Zekrom as Reshiram Moltres as Zapdos |
ok i will try it to my next sprite.
EDIT:i have done another one:http://i51.tinypic.com/2ni9yfs.png is it better?i really tried to make it good but always i'm doing something wrong. it's a lucario with raiku's colors. EDIT 2:i edited the sprite and i made the outlines.but what do you mean shade? http://i53.tinypic.com/slsf0k.png |
It may be a few days before I do my Sprites because I am playing Pokemon White nonstop!
|
http://www.iaza.com/work/110308C/iaza17927976744000.png
DONE! Tyranitar: I was clever with the belly and made the bottom part yellow, like Garchomp. Shaymin: This was fun 8) Arcanine: The reason the outline was all black is because Mightyena has 4 shades, will Arcanine was 6. So, I had to make the lightest shade. BTW, you might actually wanna make a Re-Type class now you have a tutorial for it. |
Well that was hard. Zekrom was a nightmare, I'm sure the artists had horrific looks when they had to sprite him. anyways, I'm done.

yay for still being lazy

Also as a bonus of sorts I've found some other sprites I've done sometime last year. http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/448/arbokrecolor.png http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/9...kiarecolor.png http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/6...lgatrainer.png http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/7...kiatrainer.png http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3384/fallbayleef.png (those last three were for contests on Bulbagarden by the way) |

It could count for extra credit, but I wouldn't mind if it didn't. http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/7...rcharizard.png Yeah, I needed to add more blue on it. :P |
Quote:
What would you like to take next? As for the Lucario, I agree, it could use some blue in it. It looks like he got covered in Cheeto covering. XD. I can't really count it as extra credit, since extra credit is virtually useless in here. Quote:
Time for exam: Attack Deoxys as Groudon Rayquaza as Kyogre Heatran as Cresselia Giratina as Dialga The other recolors you did are very good also. My favorite is the Bayleef. it shows a good example of an advanced recolor. The trainers are also very good to. They don't look like you just propped parts of dialga and palkia onto a random trainer sprite. The trainers actually go with the Pokemon, and the parts are fused good. Quote:
And by shade I mean like the shadows. Sprites in general aren't just one color. They have shading used to give it a 3D type effect. If you have trouble shading think of it as this: You have a light on the sprite and wherever the light is touching, that area is lighter. Where it isn't touching, that area is darker. i.e.: A Wailord's back would be bright blue as the light is aiming and touching it's back. Whereas it's belly would be a dark blue as the light isn't touching or coming near it. Shading isn't that easy to learn as a beginner. It requires practice and patience. I still ahve trouble with shading now a days. Quote:
What would you like to take next? Quote:
Palkia as Darkrai Kyogre as Groudon Regigigas as Suicune Aricuno as Zapdos Oh yeah, and thanks for reminding me to add Re-Types. I coulda sworn I added it. o,o |

First read the tutorial on the first page on how to do them. Then do: Fire Snivy Aqua Pansage Icy Spheal |
Crap I post the wrong sprite here the real one.
http://www.victoryroad.net/picture.p...pictureid=4131 |
|
I would like to sign up please. I don't know how to recolours yet, so i'll sign up for that.
|

EDIT:http://i55.tinypic.com/2ngd4xv.png here it is.i try shading this time.it's an oddish recolored as cherubi |
I'll do Infernoes, I wanna get more used to spriting first.

First read the tutorial on the first page, Then do this: Monochrome Pansear Aqua Mudkip Flaming Lillipup Quote:
next assignment is: Ekans as Seviper Lillipup as Pansear Mudkip as Treecko Quote:
Well, first things first: - Rememver to always save as .PNG or .GIF - Never, ever save as .JPG - Always recolor from lightest shade to lightest, darkest to darkest, etc. - Remember to always recolor the non-black outlines Then do: Tepig as Oshawott Patrat as Lillipup Pansear as Pansage Quote:
It seems you've gotten the hang of Infernoes. Now do: Monochrome Metang Aqua Golbat Flaming Woobat Quote:

here they are:this lilipup as pansear.the outlines were so difficult
http://i54.tinypic.com/2zyd4qd.png ekans as seviper.that was the most difficult.it took me 30 minutes to end it(after editing it 4 times) http://i54.tinypic.com/jp8s35.png mudkip as treecko.THE MOST EASY PIC EVER!!! http://i56.tinypic.com/11m6ctk.png are they good? |
|
Quote:
Next do: Deino as Dragonite Sunflora as Metang Ledian as Wartortle Quote:
Next do: Aqua Sandile Grass Magneton Icy Dratini |
Can I enroll in basic recloring, please?
|
Quote:
First some guidelines: - Always save as .PNG or .GIF - Never save as .JPG - Always recolor lightest shade to lightest, darkest to darkest, etc. - Always recolor the colored outlines to match the Pokemon's new colors. Your first assignment is: Pansage as Panpour Pikachu as Marill Zigzagoon as Seviper |
that outlines are so bad.i can't do them.look the sprites and you will see:
1.http://i54.tinypic.com/2a0lxg4.png that was quite easy. 2.http://i53.tinypic.com/2hpn8ut.png you can see that the outlines are so bad.i wanted to make it again but i have to leave soon. 3.http://i55.tinypic.com/w7j1jt.png what to say for it?it is the worst drawing ever |
Feeeeneeeshed

Quote:
What would you like to take next? Quote:
The Sunflora is good, but the outlines around it's petals on the head look weird. The Ledian is good too, but again, it has an outline problem. The outlines on it's wings are the problem. It's orange wing has blue outlines on it, when they should be orange. And your sprites aren't bad. They're actually good for a beginner like you. I've seen worse than this. :3 Next do: Zigzagoon as Grovyle Marshtomp as Dewott Monferno as Croconaw |
http://www.victoryroad.net/picture.p...pictureid=4167
http://www.victoryroad.net/picture.p...pictureid=4168 http://www.victoryroad.net/picture.p...pictureid=4169 Allright, first recolors I've done in a while! Zangoose's outlines were hard, but other than that they were pretty easy. NOTE: Sorry, but they might be JPEG. My version of Paint says nothing about PNGs or JPEGs, but if they are, sorry. EDIT: So sorry, I thought you said ZANGOOSE as Seviper, not ZIGZAGOON. SO SORRY! I'll try to get the recolor up as soon as I can tomorow. |
NOTE:i make the outlines like the other pokemon.if you see(except black outlines)i recolored deino's outlines like dragonite's.anyway here are the sprites:
http://i56.tinypic.com/sxog14.png i just noticed that the pokemon have outlines with different colors.so i decided to try to make colorful outlines.the marshtomp has red on his mouth.by accident i made the mouth black.then i made it white but it looked horrible.so i made it red.sorry EDIT:by the way look what i made for fun http://i56.tinypic.com/wj97as.png lol.do you like the balls? |
Can I learn how to make infernoes?They look interesting
|
|
These were the easiest but the sprites I recolored had more colors than the ones I recolored them as, so I had to change the shading on the sprites a little bit but not to much. Anyway, here they are,
http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/2...olrequest3.png |
Quote:
Looking at the sprites up close, everything seems to be good. You've got the basics down. Now do: Dewott as Pignite Servine as Purrloin Herdier as Whirlipede Quote:
First you'll need to read the tutorial on the first page. Then your assignment is: Fire Tepig Aqua Dewott Monochrome Ekans Quote:
Now an exam: Pillowshaded Terrakion (Pillow shades are an inferno, except you use the Pokemon's own color palette) Aqua Darkrai Icy Magnezone Quote:
Now for your exam: Deoxys as Shiny Giratina Ho-Oh as Lugia Lugia as Suicune Kyurem as Virizion |
If you're looking for a good sprite see the sprites over this post.
If you're looking for a horrible sprite you're looking in the correct post. Here they are: http://i52.tinypic.com/24eyps9.png I actually didn't understand the guide but by the pics I got something. Dewott looks horrible.I hate it but I can't do it better.But what's a monochrome?I really didn't understand that. Ohh and a question from lucarioLOVER:I won't get assignment?You didn't give me in your last post. (She is next to me now) |
Quote:
Assignment: Re-do Tepig and Dewott Icy Servine Quote:
Metang as Dragonite Durant as Rapidash Basculine as Gyarados As for the Pokeballs, they aren't exactly the best. The fused parts are fine, they could be better though. The main problem is with shading once again. You took out ALL of the shading on the Pokeball. You never want to mess with the shading.... |
Here's my sprites.

All else is good.One more assignment then an exam: Rhypherior as Rampardos Hippowdon as Flaafy Ulgamoth as Kyurem Quote:
All your other sprites are good. So, congrats, you pass Infernoes! Would you like to take anything next? |
Oh, whoops. Guess I should've made my color palette reversed or something. xP
I would like to take Fusions next. :D |
Quote:
Read this tutorial. Remember to have the fused parts blend in with the sprite. You don't want them to look as if you just stuck them on the sprite. Your first assignment is: Charmander and Mudkip - Charmander as base Swinub and Oddish - Swinub as Base |
Here they are.I didn't got much the icy thing.I just put blue colors.And what I had to edit to the other?I edited only outlines and a little the colors.
http://i51.tinypic.com/2mocnqf.png ohh I made the outlines black.I saw that the munchlax in the tutorial has black outlines so I made them like that. |
Finished.
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/7...dkipfusion.png http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/2...dishfusion.png Is it OK to edit the shading a tiny bit to make something blend in? I did that with the Charmander's head. |
Allright, finished my sprites.
http://www.victoryroad.net/picture.p...pictureid=4191 Herdier as Whirlpede Purplegasam! This was one of the harder ones, but mainly due to Herdier's muzzle mixing with his face. http://www.victoryroad.net/picture.p...pictureid=4190 Dewott as Pignite The easiest one for me. I was thinking of reclolring his hands, but then i thought they would mix with his, uh, "belt". http://www.victoryroad.net/picture.p...pictureid=4189 Servine as Purrloin It's in the middle in terms of difficulty. 'Nothing much I can say about it. :P |
