Hello again! Welcome to the Sprite submissions! I've been trying to give artists as much time as possible to sort out designs from the Art Thread. Please take images from that as inspiration for sprites. If anyone wants to do more sprite work for CaP, please head to and read over Wyverii's CaPmon Sprite Revamp Thread
As it so happens, Pyroak has gender differences. This revolves around the slightly longer "tufts" or Mane on the back of Pyroak's head. The shading on their legs are also slightly different, but try not to fixate on that so much. Females are the ones with slightly longer hair and the paler skin tone, whereas the males are darker and have shorter hair.
These are the sprites we currently have for Pyroak.
The art below is Elagune's art from when he originally penned the designs.

Are the two sprites we have at the moment, there are no back sprites. Please keep the images in the hide tags above when designing your sprites.
Rules for Spriting
Failure to follow these guidelines will result in the submission being disqualified and the post will be deleted.
Sprite submissions for the sprite poll will be selected by the Topic Leader, based on preference and feedback in this thread. There is no process for overturning the Topic Leader's decision. If you are not comfortable with this stipulation, then do not make a sprite submission. Do not post any complaints here or in later threads.
Additional information
There are 16 possible sprites:
Front Normal Female (One each for Embirch and Flarelm)
Front Shiny Female (One each for Embirch and Flarelm)
Back Normal Female (One each for Embirch and Flarelm)
Back Shiny Female (One each for Embirch and Flarelm)
Front Normal Male (One each for Embirch and Flarelm)
Front Shiny Male(One each for Embirch and Flarelm)
Back Normal Male(One each for Embirch and Flarelm)
Back Shiny Male(One each for Embirch and Flarelm)
In most cases, spriters submit a Front Normal sprite first. Once feedback comes in and the poll nears, they make the other sprites.
Animations are not required and will not be used as part of the final product; however, it does add to the "appeal" aspect of your submission.
Shinies are just recolors, so that’s not too tough. There's lots of people that can't scratch, that are willing to recolour your shiny, if you really don't want to do it yourself. Just ask in the submission thread and you'll get plenty of offers to help.
Please look at your transparent sprites against different coloured backgrounds, not just white.

Please get spriting! I'll leave this open a little.

Rules for Spriting
Sprites should be inspired by the winning design from the Art Poll. It does not need to be an exact rendition of every detail of the design; "artistic license" is granted to all spriters. However, drastic deviation from the selected art design is discouraged.
- All sprites (front and back) can have a maximum size of 96x96.
- All sprites (front and back) must have a complete, unbroken, distinguishable outline. It does not need to be a black outline, but it must be clearly distinguishable from the adjacent interior colors of the sprite.
- No action effects, move effects, environment effects or additional objects can be rendered on or around the pokemon.
- Sprites must be in PNG format.
- Use 8-bit truecolor (aka 8-bit RGB) or less. This does NOT mean 256 color mode.
- Use transparent backgrounds.
- Fusions of other sprites are not allowed. All sprites must be scratch sprites.
- Do not alter, fuse, recolour or otherwise modify another spriter's submission – unless the original artist explicitly gives permission.
