Original Post
It's finally time to announce the winners of the paperdoll competition. As well as, giving the first trial of the top three winners. Let me explain this first, before I move on to the winners that will be competing in this very competitive trial of events.
After the winners are announced, I will begin the first trial. There will be a total of three trial events. Each event will last one week. The first day I will announce the event each week the event takes place. These events could be anything, and they will all be different in some way. But they all will pertain to pixel art, paperdolling and the base sprite for Pokemon Universe.
After the event is announced, the players will have three days to create what task they are given for that trial event. This gives you the day the event is announced, which will be on Sunday. Til Wednesday to complete your art for the task.
Thursday will begin the day of voting. This will last til Sunday, on this day the polls will be locked and votes will be tallied and one person, with the least amount of votes, will be eliminated. In the case of a tie, I will decide who will move on based on the art. The remaining players will be moved on to the next trial event. Then this process will begin again, until there is one person.
Since there are three events, I will need the top four winners in the Paperdoll Competition, excluding Pokemon Universe's Staff. So now I announce the winners for the Paperdoll Competition. These are the top four, including staff.
4th Place - Genbor
3rd Place - Lubbies
2nd Place - Zatir
1st Place - Yukimenoko
Now for the four winners that will be in the Trial Events.
4th Place - Amphi
3rd Place - Monzta
2nd Place - Genbor
1st Place - Lubbies
The first trial event is as followed:
You will take the male base character sprite, and create a sprite for a trainer. What I mean by this is, you will pick a specific element and make a trainer based on this element. You may use any of the elements in Pokemon. (Grass, Rock, Dragon, ETC.) Be as creative as you want, and try to represent your element in your trainer. You may post your W.I.P. In this thread. Please use the male sprite in the first topic for this competition. Thanks.
After you read this, the competition has begun. Good luck to all.

Here you go Monzta.
Congratulations Lubbies, Amphi, Monzta and Genbor for winning the first round btw! Would have loved to compete against you guys.
Ps: if more pixel artists are needed even after these 4 awesome additions on the team. I often find myself with too much spare time on my hands. ;)
-
Congrats you guys! ^^
-
Good luck everyone. ^^
-
Good luck everyone! If anyone wants to do a bug trainer I would love to see it. :D
Bug Powah!
Congrats to the ones that moved on to the next round!
-
Good luck and congrats. I look forward to seeing how your fire type trainer turns out Amphi, seeing as how fire's my favourite types.
-

Actually, only one of the four will be selected after a series of elimination rounds. Though having more pixel artists would not be a bad thing.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't pixel art at moment the main thing that is delaying the development of the game? If so I'd say the more people working on it, the better.
-
yeah, but the purpose of this competition is to find a paperdoll artist. I'm not part of the pixel team, so I really don't have a say in how many they want to get on the team.
-

Right now we only have time for one paperdoll artist. What I mean by this is, I don't want to give Yuki two artist to train. There might be future events where will train an item artist, or other things. But at the moment we're focusing on tiles and paperdoll art.
Yes, it would be nice to have more artist. But at the same time many people here aren't that experienced. So we do with what we have. I'm actually becoming more active and getting quite a bit done.
-
Well I still have a lot of exams going on right now, but I'll try my best to make something. I didn't expect to get this far to be honest. :D
-
Lol does this look like an eskimo?

ice type trainer.
-
As easy as it makes the Hood I won't reccomend it like that. Maybe if you show more of the face and make it a bit more around the face instead of covering it and make it look a bit more fluffy.

Have you seen Avatar the Last Air Bender? If so/if not, the art type of the Water tribe could be something to go off of if going in the direction of Eskimo-like
-
K how bout this.
(http://p1cture.it/images/d6e43663159e15g81g61.png)
Made the opening wider and fluffier. I also shaded it with darker colours.
-
If you make him orange, then he will look like Kenny. Looks better.
-
Kenny is irrelevant. I need more details.
-
Your second sprite looks better than your first.
-

Why does that guy remind me so much
(http://images.uncyc.org/nl/0/0c/Kenny3.jpg)
about him?
-

To be frank; so far it's quite plain, maybe you could spice things up a bit.
as for constructive criticism on what you have so far:
The hood is now exactly the shape of the head maybe you could make it a bit bigger so it looks more natural. I'd also open up the hood even more so you can see more of the face because it does look like kenny right now.
-

One more thing I would like to point out how many Eskimos that have their face fully covered like that could you actually see their ears poking out of the hoods? :P Just a small pointer.

I like this idea. You should totally give him hair though.
-
Grass Type Trainer -
(http://p1cture.it/images/10f16b28238e84b17b3a.png)
-
Looks good Monzta. Maybe add some hair
-
I was gonna suggest that too, but it's possible to keep him bald. If you're going to do hair, find either Green's complimentary color, or something that looks nice with green, like orange.
-
Congrats to the winners! And what are you all progressing, the pixel art is awesome!
@Amphi, the hair is great, but I think the outfit is a bit standard. Maybe you can try something with darker volcanic rock-colours and make something like volcanic clothes with fire.
@Monzta, The idea and theming is really nice. Maybe you can add more detail to the clothing, some better texturing. The cap is great!
@Lubbies, The opening is way better now than before. I'm also curious about the side views!
Nice work yet for all of you!
-
Well here's mine for now:
Bug Catcher Sprite Attempt

PS: the orange "wire" is intended, i't will make more sense on the backsprite (I hope).
-
(http://p1cture.it/images/egeg15d216bgd9dcbdd0.png)
K the sides are a bit wierd I'll touch uo on them and made the hood and opening wider.
-
@Lubbies: The hood looks a lot better! looks good. not much to add anymore i guess, maybe a gadget.
@Genbor: loving it! the Net looks really good and the afro haircut too. curious about what that eye patch is about though?
-
Well that eye patch is actually supposed to be an adjustable microscope, which you can wear on one eye, so you can see smaller bugs as well, etc.
-
Cool ;D I'm finished with the poses, just need to touch up on some details.

Nobody has done a Normal type, woulda thought that'd be easy to portrait. If i had the means, i'd try for maybe Steel or Dark for pixel art
-
Actually what is a normal trainer, that one was devoid of all imagination and detail that sure it would look like a normal trainer but that's a bit boring. I couldn't think of one thing to make a normal trainer :P
-

i would think that a Normal type trainer would be wearing something that screams Pokemon, or is like Cosplay of a normal type Pokemon. i.e. a person wearing a Teddiursa inspired set of clothes. like bear ear headband, furry gloves etc.
Just my idea of Normal type
-
Sure there's the whole poke fan thing but that's a bit unoriginal, plus putting it in a Teddiursa outfit does not always mean that that person will use normal but I see your point.
-
I agree, a normal trainer is just too normal. I don't think any particular outfit would say "NORMAL TRAINER" in capital letters, since it just doesn't really have a specific trait.
-
Normal trainer... HEARTS!! SAGWEKNIWIEHNVKAS! Nah, just kidding. Maybe some kind of Safari guy since most Normal types tend to be wildlife.
-
Sakigewea. THat's what I read at first, Yumi. Maybe for a normal Female type XD
-
Not trying to lead the ones that don't have a submission into this direction, but a dark type trainer that doesn't look emo or goth would be impressive.
-
I'd probably go for a Rock/ground type trainer with desert proof outfit. with like goggles and a trench coat with a high collar against the sand storms.
-
All entries look great! Good job guys. Make sure you get your entry completed by 6:00pm (-6 GMT) tomorrow. Voting will begin tomorrow at the same time the submission stage ends. Make sure you have a completed sprite sheet when you submit your submission. Thanks!

New entry, leafy texture on top.
-
Karen and Grimsley don't look emo IMO. Karen even tells you to take pokémon you like with you, and not just pokémon because they are strong.
-
Hmm I've recolored it and now I cant decide which to take.

I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about the millions of drawings for dark type trainers. No one seems to stray away from drawing an emo, goth, or a trainer that cosplays.

That leaf-hat looks brilliant, but I suggest you to update the back sprite leaf-hat.
Thx Cortex, I wasn't allowed to remove the double-post...
-
Had to combine your two thoughts. No double posting.
-
As I said in this post...
Thx Cortex, I wasn't allowed to remove the double-post...
Anyway, I'm not allowed to be off-topic, so, another feedback:
I love Amphi's fire type trainer, I would use it in a Pokemon Game as my trainer, as I'm a Fire-Type lover.
-
Seen it now, no problem.
Back on topic, I'm sad, no dark type trainer. The ice tyoe looks like an ice type with the color change, but brown would be a fun option, the grass type trainer reminds me of an eco-friendly robin hood, and why does the bug trainer have an eye patch?
-
I'm sad, no dark type trainer.
I was going to say this too...Why no one made a dark type trainer? No ideas? Just make a black-dressed guy (this doesn't mean I'm racist) and something special for darkness at it, like in the animation to came out of the smog. I know it's hard but I would vote for it if it's better than Amphi's.
eco-friendly robin hood
Lol. The entry is original! It's more like Tarzan with leaves... And that hat doesn't look like Robin's ;D
why does the bug trainer have an eye patch?
Cuz' it's something special and funny that makes him original. Duh!
-
Cortex... I'm disappointed...
Well that eye patch is actually supposed to be an adjustable microscope, which you can wear on one eye, so you can see smaller bugs as well, etc.
-
An eye patch is an eye patch, no matter how futuristic you make it. It can be a laser cannon for all I care, it will still look like an eye patch.

You're not making this any easier.

Really?
I see a huge difference between an eyepatch and a face mounted microscope. I see the microscope much closer related to Deadshots(DC) face mounted targeting device.

Grass trainer is coming along great, Monzta
Love the hat
-
Well.. here's my submission. Had to rush it a bit, because I ran out of time, but oh well, that's what you don't have during exams: time. Here it is: (http://www.p1cture.it/images/91315bc70f4b5a0aedb2_thumb.png) (http://www.p1cture.it/viewer.php?file=91315bc70f4b5a0aedb2.png)
@CortexJ, I didn't make the Dark type trainer because I was already doing the bug type, but i'd love to try and make a Dark type one. Also, is he not allowed to have an "eyepatch"? Is that accessory banned for Bug Catchers?
-
Yea maybe he got stung in the eye by a beedrill? :P

I love it! A very nice idea of an ice type trainer, I like the hood, but what about making something cool, like keeping a frozen Pokeball in a hand or something...What do you think?
-
Voting is now in session. All votes will be hidden until Sunday. And I will announce the results on Sunday, as well. Good luck and happy voting!!
Please review the first post for all the entries.

If somebody would move and replace the one in the first post with this, I'd be grateful.
-
Genbor has the most original one.
-
yea.. each person's style is so different, it's kinda hard to pick what you like the best in this first trial.
-
Ok did anyone else notice besides me on Monztas sprite the backside bottom? His hat is on opposite direction :D
-
Yeah, the guy's head in the left isn't correct placed...
-
I'll have the next trial event up in the evening. Been busy
-
Well seems like I'm out. It was fun anyways, and I didn't really think I'd even get this far. That alone is an achievement. It is more convenient to be honest, since my exams are still underway. Good luck to you guys Amphi, Lubbies, Monzta. Your paperdolls are great!
-
too bad Genbor! I liked yours best! but apparently my taste is not shared by most people yet again..
-
Oh right the 'Mirror-the-entire-picture-but-forget-to-fix-the-(insert whatever needed to be fixed back in place)' problem...
I have the same problem with the scarf in my avatar, but I'm too lazy to fix it :P
-
This topic will now be closed. The next trial event will start this Sunday. All competitors will be notified when the next one begins. I'm busy this week, sorry for the inconvenience.
