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

Take Azelfie

More flags more fun
WIP:
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.

First, I'd like to apologize for timing out my second submission on the last contest. I'd rather not go into it, but I have issues in my life that take me away from any thoughts of activity for extended periods of time. Second, thanks for the votes, however questionable it is whether I deserved them.

Lastly, in.
 
Okay first if all I have exams till 8 March. So I don't think I can make sprites but then again joining and trying to make sprite in free time won't hurt. So I am in.

P.S. Awu forgive me if I won't be able to make it in time.
 
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]

Here is my work:

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




Reminder to the participants: You have a week end to finish your work ! Nightmare Serum shinylyni PoLlOrOn
 
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)

New trainer class sprites:


OfficialThatGuy

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.

Welp, didn't finish #2 in time. Oh well.

Voting for Mermaid because it's simply beautiful.

Wait a sec, I just realized how similar Traveling Merchant is to Ann- oh wait, it is her isn't it. Damn I'm slow. Voting for it though, nice concept with the selling and stuff, and... FE fan.

My first vote goes to OfficialThatGuy and his Traveling Merchant class.
The walking stick stood out immediately as it seemed more like a katana of sort, but I really like the red hair a lot as well.
Solid entry overall and selling goods to trainers after battle is very nice idea, perfect for beginners as the team members can easily be handled by starters.


Second vote goes to shinylyni and his Magical Girl trainer class.
I feel we need more designs like this in the game, they would make excellent contest trainers as they love to dress up.
"Don't judge a book by its cover" as this trainer class is packing some serious threats in her team (Mega Gardevoir + Weavile is something I would use in an actual team @_@).

Traveling Merchant
it's a really nice idea and the sprite is super well sprited and seems so Pokemon-esque! :'D

Mermaid
beautiful spriting and design, also I'm not opposed to more swimming trainers at all huhu.
 
Giving my vote for Traveling Merchant. I think it's a very well-mad class and I love how the sprite looks. The concept is also very fun!

Actually, let me double the vote for it. I just love the sprite that much x3
 
The Mermaid/Triton Trainer Class. These 2 Sprites and Trainer classes just scream awesome, I like water types and I can see some form of "mythical" Atlantis sorta of place where these would be a thing.

So it's a Vote for Mermaid and Triton.

Contest #7
Create A Champion

Hello everyone ! I'm so sorry for being so long since our last contest but here it is ! We are starting our 7th contest which will be about creating a new Champion ! You will have to create one sprite which can be a Gym Leader or a Member of the Elite 4 ! This contest will stay for a month to be sure that everyone can participate, here are the contest's rules:

  • The participants will have to realize one trainer sprite (male or female). It can also be something else than a male or female, for example a Pokemon as a trainer or even a creature
  • The participants will have to choose a name for the trainer sprite.
  • The participants will have to give a brief explanation of why they have decided to make their champion like that, give the champion's story and also if they think it could eventually be implemented in a game.
  • The participants will have to give one (or more) pokemon(s) that this champion will own. Try to respect the theme, as the trainer has to be a gym leader or a member of the Elite 4, its team will have to be monotype or it can have exceptions but it must respect the theme !

Slate "Uktuk", Rock-Type Gym Leader of Mesozoian City

Backstory:

Slate is an active paleontologist who resides in Mesozoian City, a Prehistory-themed tourist trap/resort town located in the Southwestern Rainforests of his region. He arrived after his work took him to the location, and stayed afterwards, developing an affinity for the community. His love for his work as well as performing led to the birth of his persona Uktuk, a primitive-man-character he employs in his spare time in the park to educate the youth and visitors of the city (the latter of whom view him as a kind of mascot) of the world before their time. He wears a plaster replica of the skull of his partner Pokemon, Aerodactyl, as the crux of his guise, as well as keeping a bag with other replica fossils (to be used as learning devices) at his side.

Pokemon Team:


Aerodactyl @ Aerodactylite (Lvl. 50)
Rock Head (Tough Claws)
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Brave Bird *
- Earthquake



Cradily @ Leftovers (Lvl. 45)
Storm Drain
- Stockpile
- Giga Drain
- Toxic
- Recover


Tyrantrum @ Choice Scarf (Lvl. 49)
Rock Head
- Head Smash
- Outrage
- Superpower
- Earthquake


Marowak @ Thick Club ** (Lvl. 47)
Battle Armor
- Bonemerang
- Swords Dance
- Thunder Punch
- Fire Punch


Omastar @ Chople Berry (Lvl. 48)
Swift Swim
- Shell Smash
- Hydro Pump
- Blizzard
- Earth Power
* = NPC's throughout the years have been known to use unobtainable Movesets, so I figured that I could take a bit of a creative liberty here.
** = Marowak is an exception to the gym type, but it fits thematically here so I included it.


Nightmare Serum

Iggy Azalea


Anna, the RNG Goddess and the Dark type Champion
Anna just randomly appeared in front of the Pokemon League, and somehow beat it easily. She claims to have accidentally come from another world through what she calls an Outrealm Gate (cough). She also claims to have numerous sisters who look just like her, but unlike them, she's more outgoing and doesn't really care about business. Of course, like them, she loves money. Bu this Anna prefers to gamble instead, travelling to many casinos in her spare time, winning pretty much every time, earning her the title. She's also a skilled pickpocket, prankster, thief, outlaw, etc. Really, just praise Anna.

As a Champion, she specializes in Dark types, with her signature Pokemon being Zoroark, but she's also known to use Pokemon like Dusparce and Togekiss. She prefers luck based Pokemon, as well as tricksters. Her style of battling involves abusing chance-based events, such as status conditions, particularly flinches and paralysis. She's also known to have a speedy playstyle, with most of her Pokemon known for being either fast or agile.

Team:
Zoroark @ Life Orb
Ability: Illusion
Level: 69
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Low Kick
- Flamethrower

Liepard @ Black Glasses
Ability: Prankster
Level: 66
- Foul Play
- Pay Day
- Encore
- Thunder Wave

Weavile @ Life Orb
Ability: Pickpocket
Level: 64
- Foul Play
- Knock Off
- Icicle Crash
- Low Kick

Absol @ Absolite
Ability: Super Luck
Level: 64
- Foul Play
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch
- Play Rough

Dunsparce @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
Level: 64

- Glare

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace

- Thunder Wave
- Swagger
- Roost

credits to fire emblem for the "original" Anna I guess?
