  • This video tutorial describes my process for making pixel art sprites in the style of the Pokémon Nintendo DS games. It walks through my process of choosing a design, the tools and shortcuts I use to make pixel art, and shows how I make a fully rendered Fakemon sprite.

    It's absolutely nuts how much more "Pokemon" Dirtquatro looks just by coloring in the outline!

    Go down for entry
    Dirtquatro The muddy bird fakemon:
    Dirtquatro usually have battles against challenging opponents it is
    a really poor flyer, it cannot battle flying Enemies however it’s digging
    skills are super good and it can catch any challenger who can dig
    this makes Dirtquatro extremely powerful and that is why it’s
    classified as a legendary.

    This tutorial was great! I learnt a lot of new things, and you explained your process really well! I did a bit of haphazard spriting when I was much younger (around 10 or 11 XD) and seeing your amazing quality sprites and Fakemon designs in Pokemon Uranium has been really inspiring (and nostalgic) for me! I've been thinking of remaking a few sprites just for old times' sake, and I'm looking forward to putting your tips into action. I've never heard of graphicscale before but I think I'll give it a go! Thanks again!

    do u use only 1 layer? is there a reason u do that instead of having different layers for colors and shades and lines etc?

    • @oripoke4396
      @oripoke4396  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For pixel art, I don't think that is really necessary since you're working on such a small scale and it's easier to correct mistakes if they're all on one layer. I do use multiple layers (lineart + color + shading + highlights, at minimum) on larger scale artwork though.

  •  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm sorry, I know the video is about pixelart rather than the character in it, and it's not your fault, but I really wanna go on a tangent about this. I was gonna comment on how "quatro" is more of a Portuguese 4 rather than "cuatro" which would fit more with the Spanish numbers uno, dos, and tres present in the birds' names. But then I decided to look it up on wiktionary and besides quatro being 4 in portuguese and a few niche languages, quatro is also a now-obsolete spelling of cuatro, which means spanish did use quatro at some point in the past, so I guess it doesn't matter

    • @oripoke4396
      @oripoke4396  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Practice, practice!! :p Jokes aside, you can do it the same that I used to do when I was still learning: make edits or combinations of official Pokémon sprites. You can use the lasso tool to select specific parts, and the color replacer to change around colors until you’ve made your very own composite creature! Just make sure to be honest about if your sprites are based on edits when sharing your work with others and online. Stealing other people’s work is a bad idea.
