First Cosmetic Creation Contest - Entries

[squirtle]

Alright, here's mi entry. I didn't know we were allowed to make more than one, but I think I'm settling with just this one. This was my first time doing pixel art and it was extremely exhausting, but I think I actually liked the result, hope y'all will like it as well.

Name: Hellhusk Hood
Slot: Hat
Gender: Unisex, but I only made the female version...
Pictures:

Spoiler: I also made higher resolution images, in case you want to check them out

my fav so far imo

Are you joking? This is too beautiful

So in pursuit of a streetwear aesthetic, I endeavored to curate an ensemble that embodies the essence of my fondness for this particular style. Furthermore, I sought to pay homage to the Unova region, which holds a place of special regard in my affections. By crafting this ensemble as though it were bespoke to the region, I aimed to infuse it with a unique thematic flair, striving for originality. Much like an artist weaving a narrative into their creation, fashion designers encapsulate a story within their clothing lines, inviting the wearer to immerse themselves in the craftsmanship and narrative embedded within.

My intent was to fashion an ensemble that exudes both style and comfort, allowing for a seamless fusion of fashion-forwardness and an inviting ease. I envisioned an appearance that doesn't seek ostentation, but rather, an understated elegance. It is an expression that eschews excessive flamboyance, opting instead for a refined yet relaxed demeanor. This, I believe, echoes the discerning tastes of individuals in Unova, particularly in locales such as Castelia City.

With that preamble in mind, I present the ensemble I've assembled.


Dual Essence Hat

Dual Essence Top

Dual Essence Bottoms

(As a small note, the overworld view for the top is also shown in this section)


Dual Essence Hair

Dual Essence Set

Bonus:
I liked the PF Color Scheme, and that's what I was initially going with for the hair color, but then I accidentally found a color I liked a bit more which I finalized, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get showcased too in here as well!

Oh look, they found a buddy to take a picture with!​

Cosmetic Contest Resolution FAQ

Why is my entry invalid?
The sprite templates given were unfortunately upscaled to 32x32, where pixel visually was actually 4 pixels, like so:

As a result, many entries do not adhere to the 16x resolution that the game is designed to be in.

How do I fix this?
Using whatever preferred software, you should scale each sprite sheet by 50%. The OW sheet for example is 256x256, so you would want to scale it down to 128x128. MAKE SURE TO CHANGE THE RESAMPLE METHOD TO NEAREST NEIGHBOUR and NOT bilinear - otherwise it will come out blurry and yucky >.< Do this for all 3 files.

Everything is fine now?
Kinda, if your original design was too detailed, then much of that is lost in the downscaling, which would be problematic for certain designs. Lav has kindly extended the deadline to the 28th for this reason.

im not sure abt this last step but i think lav might want 16x upscaled to 32x so then after ur done editing ur thing in 16x u have to UPSCALE the thing again to 32x according to his post (make sure to use nearest neighbour not bilinear)

TL;DR templates were 32x, entries must be 16x. most entries will have to downscale their sprite sheets by 50% with "nearest neighbour" NOT 'bilinear'. much of the detail will be lost though, you will have till the 28th to fix.

Aeon semi final entry... Here are all of my entries so far reduced to the right pixel size
I knew from the start that it seemed "out of style" and far too detailed. Hopefully this is the right size and everything goes smoothly

female

 

[aeon]

image limit... here is the male version

 

[Eva]

If you're having trouble with the pixel size, I've uploaded sprite here in a standard format that you can use to create directly.

 

[Pichiki]

Here's my submission! Something pretty simple but (hopefully) cool and elegant: The Ruination Flower! It's based on Eternal Flower Floette's... Well, Flower. Feel free to edit the art as you see fit of course if needed <3 I also added a transparent version below just in case.

[Shiny Snorlax]

Unfortunately, I don't know how you guy managed to avoid losing the quality by lowering it so I had to accept it and leave my other masterpieces forgotten forever I made this from scratch and with the correct size that they sent over here and please confirmed if everything is fine my masterpiece.

LETS SAY HELLO TO BUBBLE GUM!
