During Goblin Week, Take All Your Fears And Worries And Make Them Into A Goblin!

So I discovered there is an Animal Crossing for GBA (just some minigames) and I wanted to learn the style

For this years April fool's challenge I tried to imitate Zaebucca. Don't think I quite lived up to him, at least not as well as hby did, but I'm still pretty happy with the little guy.

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!

A collection of funny "Shallan sketches" moments from the books. I love that these books have a main character who, like me, is unable to protocol a meeting without doodling all over the protocol sheet. And dang, do those doodles have a tendency to get really involved. Plus: bonus mink, because of course.

The page Shallan didn’t want Adolin to see. Bonus Veil, Gaz, Pattern, Adolin + passionspren, and a bonus safehand covering the more compromising parts.

Bonus conversation between Shallan and Veil.

And of course, Kaladin finding an unflattering sketch of himself in oversized boots carved into the table of the trio's favourite dive.

Please, don't let me get access to sprites ever again
