Pokemon Desolation Shiny Project- Silvally Edition

[Khrona]

As many of you lovely beans may or may not be aware, Pokemon Desolation has an ongoing community shiny project. When it was first announced, I had said to myself: wouldn't it be fun if I made every Silvally shiny form in the style of those in Pokemon Reborn?

It wasn't. 

The purpose of this thread is to poke and prod at all the brilliant minds of you talented gigantamaxed brained individuals out there to make the best Silvally shinies we could possibly create. I have technically made a shiny for every single one of the Silvally typings, but certain shinies are not quite up to the standard that I would like. All the forms can be separated into three categories: "just a dog on [insert typing here]", "Hey, that's pretty good", and "omg ily pls have my babies". While I'm decently confident that visually the sprites do a good enough job at displaying their typing while looking visually appealing, many of the sprites can be boiled down to dog on fire when they could be so much more. Additionally, I think it would just be more fun if the community was more involved instead of having me submit all 18 sprites.

just a dog on [insert type here]

Spoiler

all of the bad ones were kinda cleared out already, whoops nothing to see here.

hey that's pretty good.

These sprites are all pretty passable in my book. They're visually more appealing than the previous batch with utilization of more abstract concepts and ideas. However, I wouldn't complain if someone were to take these sprites and elevate them to the degree of the next batch. Suggestions for these are still very much open.

omg ily pls have my babies

Spoiler

These Silvallys are visually some of my favorite sprites I have ever made period. I feel as though nothing here could be changed to make them any better. A couple of these are in reference to specific characters or ideas and had concrete concepts outlined before spriting was started. (Shoutout to RubyRed for making the Ice-Silvally btw it's gorgeous)

Any one of these sprites (with the exception of the Ice one cuz I didn't make it) are free to download and edit for the purpose of this project. A majority of ideas/sprites will be posted in the Pokemon Reborn Discord server in the sprite-edits channel. 

If you have a completed sprite, the sprite should first be posted on the Pokemon Reborn Discord and then upon the Desolation Dev Team's approval, the completed sprite should be posted as a reply to this post so that all the sprites can be kept in one place.

For the sake of clarity, any sprites created will be credited under your name. The point of this post is to act as a call to arms to create the highest of quality sprites for Pokemon Desolation. Ideas and sprites are both equally as valuable here. Remember that the purpose of the shiny project is not to be a competition, but to be a community gathering. Ideas and sprites will inevitably not always be accepted and implemented and that at the end of the day, the purpose of this project is to have fun.

Gotta have fun when spriting, so I always like to think what I would like to see when I do some recolours/spriting. 

So having little ghosts float around silvally in it's ghost form was really fun to do, especially creating an expression for each of them so everything has it's own little personality.

Anyway, these are my attempts at creating a ghots typed silvally:

Comin' in hot with the grass backsprite

Took quite the opposite direction with the ground type silvally. All that water got drained by the dust devils.

This was a fun one to do. Shoutout to @Slowpoke_ for the sandstorm idea, I may have sprited it and brought it to life, but I wouldn't have had the idea without him. So even though he keeps telling me he doesn't need to be credited, I'm crediting him anyway and calling this a collab. 

Honestly sandstorm was the hardest part to create and definitely took me the longest to do but it was still fun.

I made a bug type Silvally, thank you khrona for helping me with the color

A simple dark type silvally based on umbreon perfection:

 

 

I'm getting super busy lately so I can't check the discord too often for replies and stuff, so I'm just gonna leave the stuff I've done here, and you guys can use it if you want. DM or message me for any changes or feedback, I don't mind whether they're used or not, I just can't stay on forever waiting for feedback, especially when I'm not super active on the discord to begin with:

My attempt on the Flying Silvally

OMG, I love every single one of these sprites - y'all are hella talented, just stop making me feel so jealous already! xD I would love nothing more nor less than to see this project reach unprecedented and god-tier (Hail Helix and Hail Lord Peeko!) heights with the help of this incredible community of Pokemon fans and Pokemon players. I could never hold even a modicum of a candle to the art that is spritework and I am not even going to attempt it, as my sprite attempts would be doomed to Doom Desire even before they have a chance to crystallise within my creative mind. Again, brilliantly done and I'll certainly keep close tabs upon this topic. Valyrian, Teleport! xD. I'm out.
