On sabbatical!
Let's get sprites up for our new CAP designs! Remember that the sprite thread rules have been changed recently here, so be sure to adjust your posts accordingly!
-----
Sprite Rules
All spriters must make a final submission post conforming to the sprite rules (listed above) and the following:
Grass
Fire
Water
-----
You can submit as many pairs of front/back sprites as you want! You do not need to submit both base stage and mid stage for a single line. If you are planning on submitting multiple sets of sprites, use one image per design, and post all images in the same Final Submission post.

Sprite Rules
- Sprites should be inspired by the winning designs from the Art Poll. It does not need to be an exact rendition of every detail of the designs; "artistic license" is granted to all spriters. However, drastic deviation from the selected art designs is discouraged.
- All sprites (front and back) can have a maximum size of 96x96.
- All sprites (front and back) must have a complete, unbroken, distinguishable outline. It does not need to be a black outline, but it must be clearly distinguishable from the adjacent interior colors of the sprite
- No action effects, move effects, environment effects or additional objects can be rendered on or around the Pokemon.
- Sprites must be in PNG format.
- Use 8-bit truecolor (aka 24-bit RGB) or less. This does NOT mean 256 color mode.
- Use transparent backgrounds.
- All sprites must be scratch sprites that are completely original works by the spriter. Fusions of other sprites or pixel-overs of other artist's lineart (including the main design) are not allowed.
- Do not alter, fuse, recolor or otherwise modify another spriter's submission unless the original artist explicitly gives permission.
- All sprites (front and back) must use roughly the same size and pose when compared to each other.
All spriters must make a final submission post conforming to the sprite rules (listed above) and the following:
- The post must have "Final Submission" (in bold) as the first line, with the sprites at the top, and any additional description or comments (if applicable) below them.
- Final submissions must contain a minimum of 2 sprites - Front and Back. If the winning design has supporting art with gender differences, spriters may choose to include those gender differences (Male and Female versions of each), for a total of 4 sprites. Gender differences are NOT required. Spriters cannot create new gender differences.
- Only submit ONE PNG that contains all the submitted sprites. Please do not submit separate images for every sprite. One "cutsheet" makes it easier for mods to track submissions and ensure each complete set of sprites stay intact.
- The final submission image must be hosted on a reliable image hosting service (such as Imgur). Do not use the forum's 'Upload a File' feature. Do not use the 'Attach a photo' tool on messaging apps (e.g. Discord). Do not use Iaza or Ezimba.
- Only make one (1) final submission post.
- Please look at your transparent sprites against different colored backgrounds, not just white. In Pokémon Showdown, the sprite will be displayed on multiple background colors in battle.
