Trainer Making Emporium Contest ~

[Karo Rushe]

Ok, I couldn't think of a witty title like Yuyu's but I caught your attention

What is it this time? Well, the Topic title says it all; We're making Trainer Sprites.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why the heck will you want to do that, you ask? Well, it just so happens, That you'd get a Free Pokemon oh but that's not all, besides from giving you any Pokemon as a price, Your Trainer Sprite will be uploaded in the next update to be added along in rmrkmon!!!!

================================
Excited now? Good; Here's what you have to do:
================================

Open a Sprite making program or photoshop

Make a Trainer Sprite and post it here in this thread for the world to see!!!

Don't know how to sprite?, no worries!!
You can also make a Palette Swap of a Currently existing Trainer!!

===============================
Here are Dah Rulez
===============================

1) Your Trainer Sprite MUST BE ANIMATED - If the sprite is not animated, then it will be ignored.

2) Your Trainer must be size 96x96 - That's the size that all current Trainer Sprites in RMRKmon are uploaded.

3) Your Trainer Sprite must be at least Proportioned - We're not too picky here. This doesn't necessarily mean body proportion, but that they also fit with the ones in Rmrkmon. Here's the default trainer as an example:

4) You may make a Palette Swap Trainer, but you'll only get a Non-Shiny Pokemon of 15%-75% Encounter Chance, Original Sprites Would get either a Shiny or Legendary Pokemon for their choosing - We have to be Fair with this here, this ain't a competition to see who's best, but it wouldn't be fair for someone who spend an hour or two making a Sprite from Scratch or Original and someone did a Palette swap of Red & took him 3 minutes isn't fair.

-Regarding Rewards-
[Spoiler=Guidelines]

1. Very basic edits, or recoloring.
Example (non animated, so wouldn't count anyways):

Prize: Non-Shiny Pokemon. 31% + encounter rate.

2. Slightly more editing to the animation and recolors.
Example:

Prize: Non-Shiny Pokemon. Any encounter rate.

3. Somewhat original: changes in animation and/or the character's figure.
Example:

Prize: Shiny Pokemon. 31% + encounter rate.

4. Pretty original: major changes to the animation and/or character design. Almost completely custom graphics.
Example:

Prize: Shiny Pokemon. Any encounter rate.

5) Contestants will be given 1 pokemon per sprite - In case your confuse on how it works, However; Until it is decided, At the moment, Contestants are limited to be given only 5 pokemon until further updates are given, you can still make as much sprites as you want, however if you make 10 sprites, know you only get 5 pokemons, You can still make as many sprites as you want will still be added. - Mods feel free to edit this as you see fit.

[Dr. Mc]

Finally finished my trainer so I guess I'll throw her here!

Guess who, guess who

[yuyu!]

Aaaaaaaaaaand, to go along with that... I made one, too! Queen Elsa!



(Probably going to edit her later, to make her do a more exciting animation. Maybe casting ice or something. But not right now. I'm waaay tired and this took forever.)

[Roph]

Both brilliant 

If you wanted another character to do, perhaps YuYu's alter-ego, MeMe 

[Dr. Mc]

Im going to continue working on mine tomorrow, too late to touch up today ;o;

[Karo Rushe]

That looks beautiful my mind rapidly went to this image

[spoiler=Elza, you wanna catch a Pokemon?][/spoiler]

Which Shiny or Legendary Pokemon do you girls want now?

We have to be Fair with this here, this ain't a competition to see who's best, but it wouldn't be fair for someone who spend an hour or two making a Sprite from Scratch or Original and someone did a Palette swap of Red & took him 3 minutes isn't fair.

lol implying it would take me 3 minutes to do a Palette swap.  OR that I even know HOW to animate a sprite IF I could make one. 


No free pokemons for me this time ;_;

D: Ok, maybe three minutes was . . . ermm, an exaggeration, don't take it literal, sorry if it sounded mean .__.;;

Regarding learning to sprite or tutorials; https://www.google.com.pr/search?newwindow=1&es_sm=93&q=animated+pokemon+trainer+sprites+tutorial&oq=animated+pokemon+trainer+sprites+tutorial&gs_l=serp.3..33i21.2972.4886.0.5677.9.9.0.0.0.0.778.3230.1j4j1j6-3.9.0....0...1c.1.41.serp..4.5.1331.VVAwJTGCrgc

The program I'm using is Ulead Gif Animator, D: But I'm sure there's others too

And, umm, here I throw my two cents, and to tell the truth; I started to regret & eat my worlds regarding those three minutes regarding palette swaps.
[spoiler=Erika Winter Palette][/spoiler]

(I think I might color that hair - And, umm, I based her colors off of Froslass)

[Jules]

Yeah, by biggest problem with learning to sprite is time. I have a pretty full plate already >_<   But the coloring I could give a shot.... one day lol   Though Ulead only comes with a 15-day free trial so no idea if I can learn it quick enough to do that.

You have no idea how noob I am lol 


I wasn't intending to be like "THIS IS A HORRIBLE IDEA!"  More like, "Boohoo poor me, I wanted free shiny pokemons too" lol   I was on a pitty potty. ;_;  Forgive me? 

[Zexion]

If we make a trainer will they be added to the database?

[Dr. Mc]

[Dr. Mc]

Which Shiny or Legendary Pokemon do you girls want now?

Forgot about that part, I'm not sure actually o.o
Which one did you pick Karo? :]

[yuyu!]

How many Pokemons can we claim? Is there a limit? =o If I get a shiny for Elsa and even a nonshiny for my boob magician, I'm not gonna lie, that would be schweet. B)

[Dr. Mc]

I got bored and made a Trucy~

How many Pokemons can we claim? Is there a limit? =o If I get a shiny for Elsa and even a nonshiny for my boob magician, I'm not gonna lie, that would be schweet. B)

I vote 2 shinies for Dr.Mc *_*

[Dr. Mc]

Now I'm going to go play a video game.

[Roph]

Mc got skills *_*

[Karo Rushe]

[yuyu!]

[Karo Rushe]

It has been done ~

So, you want a Kirlia or a Shiny one, or Both? Well, you can pick 4 of your choosing

[yuyu!]

[Dr. Mc]

Oh, gee I don't know o.o

What rare percentage do I have on each? I'd have to findthat out first

[Arrow]

I forget what I made this for, but I did it way back when. For the furries in the world I guess? A ninetails chick based off the punk rocker from BW2.

EDIT: To be clear, I'd animate this, but I don't know where I'd start. I don't have the pieces. Just this finished bit. If someone wants to do something with it they can feel free. It just seemed like a shame to let this edit rot in an old folder when it MIGHT be of use here.

[Karo Rushe]

Oh, gee I don't know o.o

First Post, I've updated it, at least temporary.


The First Post regarding the Rewards has been updated, with a limit of 5 Pokemon (temporary).

[FlameMaster5]

I wouldn't feel too bad, Jules.
I don't know how to animate sprites - never tried it. XD

But man, yuyu and MC go!
You guys are making great stuff! ^^

[Dr. Mc]

Im my opinion animating is the hardest part, but theres always the way of just taking different trainer pieces and throwing them together! Thats what I did for this one:

[Acolyte]

WIP

[Dr. Mc]

AWWWW! now she justs needs a light animation! xD

Okay now I MUST post this one...
"Sometimes the most magical thing....

[Fatih]

Is this still going on?

If so can I create Pedobear?

[Karo Rushe]

Yes, this is still going; And on the Pedobear . . . i'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request, means no.

[Euphoria]

I made one! No idea what it's worth, I just wanted to make it my trainer sprite...

[Brady]

If this is still going on (I'm kind of going under the assumption it is...is it?) is there anyone who does this who I could have wee word with over PM or something about specifics of actually turning the art into animated gifs?
I've been quite liking the idea of making a custom sprite but haven't done anything for it yet because I've no idea what software I could use to animate them all or how many frames are required for them. Although I have been wondering if I could just take it into college now that that's started back again and use Photoshop there or something.

[yuyu!]

The only thing I know how to use is GIMP. So, here's my GIMP .gif animation brief tutorial thing:

First, have each frame a separate layer. The first one (base image) must have the layer named "Background (200ms)" (change the number before "ms" to adjust the speed. Smaller numbers = faster speed).

Every layer after that must be: "Frame 2 (200ms) (replace)" and onward (don't start at 1, though ;o)! The frame after that will be "Frame 3 (200ms) (replace)"...etc. I always use "replace" because it replaces the image and seems more simple. Not including that will stack the images, I believe. And, of course, you can adjust the ms.

Finally, save it as an animated .gif and you're all set! :-)

Like this:

[Brady]

GIMP makes animated gifs? Christ, first time I've heard something about GIMP that I can't do on Paint.net D: Mind you it did get updated recently, wonder if it can do it now...

Cheers though! Will go and have a look up on it!

[yuyu!]

Alrighty! Am looking forward to seeing what you make! B)
