• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    The Spriter's Club Reborn

    ...Yup, that's definitely the default green and blue. You do know how to make your own colors, right? But once you get past the eyeblinding colors and the lack of shading, it's actually... pretty good. You've got a decent concept. There's a matter of the tail coming out its side, but really...

    The Tatooine thing amused me. xD Anyway, since you don't want crit on the shading, I won't. My best advice to you to improve your shading is to study official sprites, and do official Pokemon scratches. (I'll make a tutorial for it, how about that?) For now, though, I'll give you some advice...

    White Wolf's game is all empty promises, let me tell you. :/ Oh, sure, contradict me if you will, but there's little evidence that there's actually a game going on there besides the meaningless gathering of frontsprites and backsprites and Sugi art. And let me say this: every last one of you...

    The Spriter's Club Reborn

    The entire purpose of the Spriters' club was for Terry to hawk his effortless sprites, and for us to write walls of text about how much he sucked. Now that he's gone, you're free! Go spend your time where it'll be meaningful! ...Or, alternatively, this can be one of quite a few places around...

    Jolteonshock's Seviperthing: Sorry to contradict, but I would actually give you the opposite advice: don't highlight it like that, move the light orange more towards the center (while still touching the edge). And don't shade on the bottom; that should be in shadow. My fakemon Vython would like...

    Maps are tricky, and since it's your first I can understand how you've got some stuff wrong. But eh, here goes: My main problem with this is the lack of logical geography. You seemed to have thrown the routes, mountains, and islands any old where. See, the thing about designing a region is that...

    Brrbrrbrr, best sprite? Well, in terms of pixelart, it's probably this, although the outlines are all-black iirc... But, I mean, I think it works in this case. As for sprites, though, I'm still very attached to Laissure even though it's quite old. (I'd revamp it, but I'm afraid I'd ruin it...

    You have enough praise already. ...But, let's see. I'm gonna try to guess what's in that mix. Looks like... Furret/Mamoswine/Paras/Ambipom/East Sea Shellos. And some scratch. Hm, did I miss anything? Earthbooooound <3 What constitutes EB-style? I mean, I've done EB-styled (well, really...

    ...Huh, that's pretty neat. =D Needs moar though. You incorporated what you've got well, but... I'd advise you do more for the head, because the first thing I saw when I looked at it was "Charizard," which you generally want to avoid for your multimixes. So. Find a Pokemon with frills or horns...

    *high five* shes a mod guys u should listen to her b/c thats what ive ben trying 2 tell u dis whole time. I don't blame you for being turned off of it. :/ Ultimately it's just an I-do-it-because-it's-popular thing. Unless you do something special and compelling with it, like scratch spriting...

    Practice practice practice practice pra-- There's really no two ways about it. Practice, look at other spriters' work, practice some more, practice drawing by hand, submit your sprites for crit and then edit them, and practice some more.

    Oh topic I didn't know about limited GIF pallettes back then. xD; Anyway I made this sprite along with a friend of mine. This was either just before or shortly after I joined MHF (so I was in fourth/fifth grade), and I was inspired by Mewkitty's sprites and I wanted to try it too. They weren't...

    To Terry: Get out. Now back to our show! I use Paint. o_o I mean, I guess I could use Adobe Photoshop Elements or whatever, but... well, all the things that you're criticizing, they're simply a matter of convenience. Limited pallette? Whatever; I just customize all my pallettes anyway and draw...
