    What Is a sprite?​

    First of all, a sprite is an image of a character in the game, well for the pokemon games, its both, trainers and pokemons. When you sprite two characters together, it is called, sprite, splice or fusion. Spriting is Pixel Art.​


    The 'Rules' of spriting.​

    You must follow the 'rules'of spriting. If not, it means you are not progressing, and getting more experience.​

    1 Do NOT copyflip unless the other pokemon's body is different. For example, do not copy one of charizard's wings, and flip it and put it on the other side of the other's sprite.​

    2 Do NOT save as .jpg format, even if someone is going to kill you, do NOT save as .jpg, because it ruins the sprite's quality.​

    3 Do NOT sprite sprites with different styles. For Example, It means do NOT mix pokemon sprite with mario ones, that's very wrong.​

    4 Sprites are very small, and for the love of God, do not resize them, I repeat, DO NOT RESIZE THEM. If you want to work with them, just zoom in.​

    5 When Using paint, do not sprite using the bucket tool, the only things you need, are the 1 Pixel Pencil and the Eraser Tool. And for the love of Arceus, resize the white frame so it fits the sprite.​

    6 Recolor the whole sprite till it has one color scheme. It won't look good if it had both colors of the pokemons.​

    7 If you find yourself stuck because you want to add a part, and it doesn't fit, just try scratching it.​

    Well That's everything for now, I hope this gets stickied.
    In my opinion it is very helpful.
    I know there is another thread like this one, but I think this one is simple.​

    how do u take something from paint and post it in a thread?
    i made a bunch of stuff but ive had no luck with putting it on the internet.
    please put on your tutorial how to post.
     
    No, I'm sorry. While the effort is appreciated, there is already a thread for tutorials and resources, and it'd be best if contributions are made to that thread. Another thread isn't needed just to confuse members. That said, this thread isn't even very organised. It's hard to read, and for who thought of using YouTube videos?

    riceeman, your tutorials will be added to the resource thread.
