Hello everyone! It is Artist Appreciation time again!
We wanted to start off with Orange who has been such a powerful force this month, making countless sprites. He has graced us with Battle Maid Aggron set that will be in the next update!! Look out for her this set's consistent detail and amazing quality! We also have pokedolls coming to a store near you, both in substitute and Clefairy, adorable, even the small sprites will enhance the moemon immersion!
Kiri has also been working hard and expanding into new territory with Venonat, her hair and the detail in both the front and backsprite really shows a unique texture we don't see often at all in sprites and it adds something really unique and fitting to the Venonat line that has been missing for awhile. In addition we have Phione and Manaphy with amazingly dynamic poses showing a cute and playful paralleled with a more serene elegance. These two sprites really showing cute floating poses that mimic water angels.
Speaking of poses, McMagister was also on fire this month, making Aerodactyl line and giving us a perspective not often seen with Moemon, as Aerodactyl falls from grace to eventually mega evolved into a very powerful force to be reckoned with. The dynamic poses fit the Aero line super well and the shading and posing is very well done in these sets, including the fabric shading in the new Shedinja too. Incredible new additions to fire Red that capture the Moemon soul so well.
Manor has been working a lot on his sprites showing us his improved Zoroark line which looks so playful and detailed hair wise, the hair in Zoroark's sprite is especially nice and the backsprite hair is very detailed as well.
BlizzWhite has made Regi Sprites, these sprites are so clean and detailed and his, Regigigas especially, His readabillity shows he is more than up for the challenge of making these hard sprites.
Mars is coming along so nicely in his work, giving off so much personality especially in the faces he makes in his sprites. His Darmanitans and the heated fiery look combating the cool calm face of the Zen mode really fits the Pokemon personality so well. Also Petlil! AHH! Look how charming her face is as she offers the sweet-scented flora for you.
LeBinPasta has taken on the challenge of doing the Rotom Forms, giving us Base Rotom first, he did such a dynamic pose and his spriting growth is lifting mountains.
RED has also graced us with MEGA TYRANITAR! She is looking so epic and truly fierce, we love the detail presented in this sprite so much and the dark nature she has, another lively edition to the Mega library and more megas to come to the games!!
MAGNEMITEY is a new artist who has recently joined the team, and his pose variety is incredible, he made my jaw drop with we saw the perspective and pose on Escavalier, the way she is charging at the opponent and the way her pose was composed really shows his experience with dynamic poses. His Coballion is also looking so detailed, giving me such an elegant Oscar of Versailles vibe.
Cornbread has been working on finishing Vivillon set. All 20 forms are finally done! she has worked endlessly on them and wanted to show off Polar Form. Seeing all 20 done is like a Kaleidoscope with all the different wing patterns
We wanted to show some love to the Icon Artists, Rat enjoyer, BrownBaggy, Orange and Anonymous who have been working on creating the cute babydoll sprites you see here, the detail and quality on such small works are perfectly presented. I'm just so happy to see how much work is getting done in this area all of you guys SWEEPING these sets 🙂
Arez Vii has been working Altaria, love so much how her dress sways liks lazy clouds in the wind, the ruffles are so well done and the detail in them is superb, you just never get tired of looking at her. The Landorus muscular anatomy are also so well done, its not often we get buff moes but Landorus more than delivers.
Queso has been working so hard this month growing his work and learning the style, Umbreon and the different textures of this sprit, the shiny metal, the hair strands, and the leggings.
