The Spriter's Showcase!

Scratch sprite of that chinchilla. I'd especially like to recieve criticism on the shading.

 

[Starly]

Shading looks nice but I think it could use more contrast. Otherwise it's fine, but it just does not resemble Chiramii very much.

I know the body should move more like the head, but could I get crit on something other than that?

Thank you <3~ I'll probably have to make the body smaller and work on its eyes a bit more, as well as working on the contrast. Thanks again.

As for your Chiramii avatar, over all it looks very nice. I think you nailed the eyes. However, the smaller tuft of fur on its head makes its right (out left) eye look off. Also the middle fur tuft loses a pixel in one part, which makes the animation seem less smooth.

More vaporeon reposes. Comments/crit please

More vaporeon reposes. Comments/crit please

The first one is good, but the tail kinda looks like it's coming out of Vaporeon's right side.

I like the second one but it looks like it doesn't have a nose, also the paw it's reaching with looks a little odd.

Otherwise, really nice!

Celebi devamp.

Mew repose in Celebi's Soul Silver. I didn't plan on it being so short and chibi-like, but maybe it's just me.

Scyther revamp. Not sure that I like it that much.

Comments/crit?

Scratch Luvdisc Evo thingy. Yeah, I dunno.

I may make the tail heart-shaped to give it more of a love motif (i.e. Cupid's Arrows), but whatever. And I know that the shading is weird, it's because I based it on the Luvdisc DP sprite. Which has incredibly weird shading.

 

[Starly]

It looks okay, but it needs to be more heart shaped, look a little less like it's basic stage I guess. and the shading is all wrong, the bottom does not usually get lighter, and the tail needs shading.

TCoD sprite, C+C please!

 

[Mai]

CUTE. The very bottom where there's a highlight looks a little odd. Can I have C+C on the sprites in my last post up there?

- abysseon

it seems a bit wierd. C+CC?

 

[Aisling]

The biggest things I see is the arm lengths aren't the same and the knees don't line up, either. One knee is higher than the other, yet the feet are at the same level on the assumed standing surface.

You'd have to completely redo the sprite, but might I suggest a pose where it's coming towards the viewer and its torso is closer and the lower body further away? As it is, fitting the whole body into the size limit as making its details small and unclear.

I like using these two to demonstrate this. The one on the left is at an angle where the head is closer to the viewer so it's bigger and you can tell what's going on, while its feet are further away but they're just feet so you still know what those look like. With the one on the right everything is about even but the head is harder to make out.

 

[wolftamer9]

ok, I get it. I'll try that.
EDIT:
didn't redo it, I hope this fixes it.

 

[Starly]

Yay avatar frames of a Togetic! I love Togetic so much!

It's supposed to look like it's going up and down, flapping, ect
Can someone animate to be as fast as the other avatars in my signature?

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

Like this?

 

[Starly]

Like this?

Ah thanks! I really appreciate it!

 

[wolftamer9]

I made some revamps of some old sprites.

- micfist

- medefist

- megafist.

EDIT: I made water and grass starters too. C+CC?

 

[Autumn]

I posted this a while back but didn't get any comments and I'm still wondering if there's anything I can do to make the shading on the cat on the left look better :/ I mean I've heard that it would look better with sharp changes in shade (like a Pokémon sprite) but that makes the sprite look kinda flat imo, what do the kind souls who will bother to respond think?

 

[Mai]

Another repose.


Also, I fixed the tail of one of the Vaporeon reposes I did earlier.

 

[Yarnchu]

@wolftamer: The revamped sprites look much better than your older ones. The highlighting on Megafist looks a bit wonky though. There's a random pixel or two of light on his left leg(our right), and the highlight down the side of the right leg(our left) doesn't really seem smooth enough. Also, his right arm needs to be smoothed out a bit: there's two long lines of outline and then one or two pixels of outline that ends at the wrist-thing. The middle line needs to be smaller, so move a couple of the pixels to the bottom line. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say without me have to make an example or something. The others can use some work as well, but it's mainly Megafist that looks a little off to me.

@Leafpool: I don't really see much wrong with the shading, tbh. Maybe just add a bit more contrast to the areas furthest away from the light?

@dragonair: Umbreon's head looks inflated. It needs to be shrunk some. Also, Vaporeon looks a little fat. What sprites were the poses originally from(assuming that you aren't completely scratching these sprites)? Because if you are making a different sprite into another Pokemon(in this case, Vaporeon and Umbreon), you need to edit the sprite so that the body proportions are correct. If you are doing them from scratch, you just need to work on making your outlines better. Other than the body proportions and the outline being off, they look fine.

Wowee...let's see how many sprites I splice together to create this beast:

Sceptile(frame 2), Grovyle(frame 1), Totodile(HG/SS frame 2), Croconaw(HG/SS), Feraligatr(D/P + HG/SS frame 1), Rhydon(HG/SS frame 1), Delibird(HG/SS frame 1), Tyranitar(D/P), Ursaring(D/P frame 1). The pallete was ripped from Turtwig's Platinum sprite.

Let's see...10 sprites, 11 counting Turtwig.

Herp derp.
