The Spriter's Showcase! Mk II

In response to above--

Well, I see a few weird pixels to the left? You should have put another pixel or two at the top of the Cresselia crown. I don't know what the things in the hind are, a tail? I don't see many tails that are only a pixel wide. The colors are a little better.

The tail-thing was a mistake. The pixels aren't part of the sprite. And a bit of the crown must have got erased. It is one of the best of my mediocre sprites.
 
Huh. People dont post here that much. Anyway, I just made a sprite, and I want to see what people think:

Its my little narwhal o3o. Anyway, it was pretty simple, it just took ALOT of recoloring.

Whoooah. I was about to pass over this thread and mark the forum read, and I'm so, so glad I didn't. Those are amazing, Starly. @_@ The Vividol one especially (guessing its name from its filename). I really like the, um, outlines? Like how everything is shaped smoothly; nothing jumps out and reminds me that I'm looking at something fit to the pixel grid.

The dark green part of the Lizepper is too dark, I think. There isn't much contrast and it just sort of melts together into one dark shape unless I zoom way in. (That might be my monitor, though; it's 2:39 in the morning and it's tinted orange so that it doesn't blind me. I don't think so, though; Axew's B/W sprite looks fine...)

Ah thanks! Got it!
And yes, Lizepper is Luisbrain's (sorry, should have posted that...) He fixed it up in his spritedex, lol, lazy me. Glad you like Vividol (belongs to deidara-fuuka)

No offence...but it looks too much like a recoloured Wailord with a golden horn. It doesn't remind me of a narwhal too much. Otherwise, it's okay.
 
Lux is is a recoloured wailord with a horn xD!

Here's a splice I just made;



It's a Gothitelle/Froslass splice. I tried making it to where the base was Gothitelle but...it went hrribly wrong. So I make the base Froslass. xD
 
The shading is a bit meh, but a very good try. I've seen the most atrocious blobs of pixels being passed off as Sprites.
I'll post some pixelwork when I get on my comp.
EDIT:

I made a Virizon (by scratch) Opinions?

Not bad, especially for a scratch. It's about 10 times better than I can do xD
 
For a scratch, that's pretty good. However, it looks like all your outlines are black; to add more dimension, make the lines where Virizion is getting hit by light lighter. I'd make the highlights more noticeable - perhaps add another colour and use it sparingly.
 
I am really bad at spriting, so I need some help, and trial and error seems as good a method as any. So please criticize my stuff to your heart's content. Here are some of my favorites that I've done.

They're all good, but the Guitarist thing kinda looks strange to me. I'm not sure why.

Thanks. Do you mean he's just weird, or is there something fixable?

Also, here are some shadow pokemon I made for no real reason. They use the same colors as Butterfree's.

It's fixable. I just think you should show more tail. Also, nice shadows.
 
Yes, I do think it's better. Also, the three shadows together seem cute to me, even though 2 out of 3 of them look like monsters :3
 
Yes, yes they do.
EDIT: I hope you don't mind, but I tried your Shadow family idea.
