| Okay, here's the skinny. A new update for PT is in the works, and we want it to be the best possible. I've been working on new Pokemon designs with the occasional revamp, but I don't have time to give EVERY sprite the revamp they deserve in this update. So I'm looking to you guys for help. I am not asking for revamps. (You are welcome to DO a revamp if you like, but don't change the design of the Pokemon without my approval. And I can be pretty picky.) I am asking for recolors. I really want to incorporate the community as much as possible into this project, and I think this is a good first step.
What I Am Looking For
--> Kill the rasterization. We all hate it.
--> Delumpify outlines (the trickiest part, IMO)
--> Desaturate the colors. Just a tad.
How This Should Work
Pick one of the Pokemon listed on the first page of this topic. Recolor it. Repost it in this topic. Get feedback. Make changes. Get feedback. Make changes. You know the drill. Not everything you post will be accepted immediately. If you are willing to work with me and others on taking feedback, you'll get the sprite looking great. I believe in you. The final call comes down to Me, GF and Kabob. I'm counting on the experienced spriters to help out with feedback so that even beginners can get a chance to do good work. Note that this is a temporary fix until every sprite can get an honest revamp. But that could take a VERY long time, especially while I focus on adding new Pokemon.
Rule #1: ONLY the pokemon listed in this topic are available for recolorations. If it isn't on the list, that's because it is most likely in line for a revamp or somebody has already recolored it.
Rule #2: Don't revamp the Pokemon and make as few alterations to it as possible. If I don't recognize it, I probably won't approve it. Stick to the outline as much as humanly possible.
Hm. I guess that is pretty much it. Here are the candidates up for recoloration: 
Here's the list. I'll strike the names as they are completed:
Singet
Searus
Urich
Anemoned
Quenchi
Althorn
Lileef
Mayflower
Dandaloft
Welion
Mant
Termight
Sleaf

Flumboyant
Pompiingo

Chilibre
Vhine
Plooze

Cryon Just realized that these guys aren't really rasterized.
Cruo
Cragon
And here is a VERY basic tutorial for what sort of changes I expect on a recolor:
Also, most of these Pokes are in DRASTIC NEED of updated backsprites as well. I'll get a list up of back sprites in need of recoloration ASAP.
Thanks for any help you can render, guys. The next PT update will be awesome. |

| You made a good guide on how to recolour but in order to colour and shade it right, the outline needs to suit the shadow as well. Everything works together. Your example with Worgeddon had a good original outline so it worked but there are heaps other sprites that may need their outlines redone in order to utilise correct shadow application, or in other words just a complete revamp. Just a little tip, don't use intermediate colours that often. If it's between two shades of the same colour, there's generally no need unless for example the pokemon's skin has a furry or fluffy texture etc. Yeah, just saying. Recolours are only one aspect of a sprite revamp, but outlines are important too so don't forget about it completely.

| Liking the spickle line along with Dionius, but pretty much all of these need their outlines fixed before shading would work imo. |

Think I uploaded this a while back as a revamp but i reckon this one's one of the revamps i did where the original design wasn't changed TOO much. And seeing as there wasn't really anything i could do to the current lolzie sprite, i decided to post this one. |
