Eonrider's Sprites!

[Eonrider]

Hello, everyone. I am Eonrider. I have been spriting for a long time before joining this website. Here are some of my sample sprites. Please rate and tell me how I could improve.

Houndour+Larvitar=Hountar


Umbreon+Espeon=Esbreon


Mantine+Lickilicki=Lickitine


The first and only revamp I have ever done:


Torchic+Torterra+Sceptile=Scepterrachic (my first fusion using more than two Pokes)


A big sprite known as Toxslug (Pokemon around the outside are the ones I used. See if you can spot where I used them!)


Something I like to call a 'Reverse Shade'


My most recent sprite (Teddiursa+Wooper=Woopursa, requested by little brother)


And to top it all off, my first ever sprite! (Bronzor+Machop=Brussel, includes overworld sprite!)


Hope you like them!

 

[Shadow Slice]

All I can say is... Wow. I would have never thought of reverse shading. they are awesome.

 

[Automata heart]

kawii. i like likitine.

 

[Eonrider]

I'd like to post some more sprites, so here they are!:

Something I call a Colour Swap, this one is Articuno and Cloyster:


Sakura, If you liked Lickitine, then you're sure to like these two:

Rhyperior+Lickilicki=Lickiperior


Chancey+Lickitung=Lickicy


Shadow Slice, if you like my reverse shades, then here's some more!

This one's of Regigigas:


And here's another, Manaphy:


And some more of my personal faves to top it off!

Marowak+Hitmonlee+Kangaskhan=Kangawaklee


Two more big sprites, or as I call them, 'Supersprites,' sprites made by fusing 5+ Pokemon.

Spiserpent:


Psychlev:


I hope you like them!

These are...Wierd and awesome at the same time.

...to be honest, these need a lot of improvement.

Hountar: It's okay. You might need to adjust the shading, though: Houndour's sprite looks good in black, but in such a light shade of green, it needs adjustment.

Esbreon and Lickitine: Not much to say here. Pretty good.

Scepterrachic: How the hell can it hold such a large tree on its head (and at such an awkward angle as well)? The sprite itself is pretty good, but I'd recommend making the tree smaller or scratching it.

Toxslug: The shading needs some tweaking. For example, look at the place where the smoke comes out. There's a weird bit of highlight there that you don't need.

Brussel: ...where to begin? For one, it looks sort of like you just put random body parts on a Bronzor. Also, note that the arms and such are placed in an awkward manner. Keep in mind that the top of the head in this position would be on the uppermost ball, and put the parts on using that as your guide.

...phew, long post is long.

I'll continue from what Kam said, since the forums died on me while I was making my post. -_-

Psychlev(?)- The shading on the torso is odd, almost as though it's ending over. ;~;

Espreon- The tail is much too long- Maybe scratch it?

Chicken tree- Like Kam said, try scratching the tree. I suggest keeping the tree's sprite right by your area of working, and do it exactly the same way, only taking one-two pixels off of each line, depending on it's size.

Toxslug- The crest isn't properly attached, so maybe change the shading. Also, never use a color lighter than the the color next to it for an outline. :/

Hountar- As well, the horns are not attached right, and their outline is much too bright. Try changing the shading on the main body, as well.

Bronchop- ....Why? You cut off a part of it's hand. And the arms appear to be, like,
falling off. Also, at least try flipping the head crests around- It just looks plain odd right now.

Woopursa- It looks like it's face is a mask... that's falling off. Really, just try scratching it next time. also, try replacing the ears with Wooper's antenna(Horns?).

Lickiperior- It looks like it's tongue was twisted until it broke. :/

Lickicy- No, really, why did you not even recolor the (horribly misplaced) legs? They're not only fat, but they don't even look right. :/

 

[Eonrider]

Yes, I know Brussel is terrible. It's the first sprite I ever made, and I'm putting it up here for history's sake. Thanks for your critisism, I'll edit the rest eventually. Some of these sprites are really old, amyway, Lickicy is probably the second sprite I made.

EDIT: Okay, here's the new (and hopefully improved) Hountar:

 

[Hogia]

These rock! Do you do requests?

 

[Eonrider]

Hogia, I suupose I could take requests, but wouldn't that turn this into an art shop? I'm glad you think they're good, but I'm still working on improving a lot of them.

 

[Honouguma]

The reverse shades are the main thing that I like. The fusions, though, most need some work flowing together. The "supersprites" that have five or more Pokemon shouldn't really be called "super", since me and almost all of my spriting friends do no less than 9-10 on average.

The main thing I want to say is: Don't ever get upset about this kind of post. You're going to get them, and the best thing to do is keep working on your sprites. I only got where I am from practice, and the only way you'll get better is from practice. I would also love to see a fusion of all three legendary dogs from you. ;D

 

[Eonrider]

A fusion of all three legendary dogs!? *goes to make really crappy sprite* I may or may not give that a go, but don't expect to be pleased by what you see.

I may sound mean but I'm just trying to help you as a spriter:

Please don't make reverse shades. They're just made with the Invert Colors option in Paint (or whatever program you use to make sprites; they all have some similar option), and it shows. It's not a sprite. a sprite takes effort to make, and just clicking an option and having a quick software algorithm do a job is cheating. plus, it doesn't look good. I appreciate what you were trying to do, but anyone can do them, and they don't take any skill to make. M'kay?

On the plus side, almost any oen of your other sprites is a really good piece of pixel art. Keep up the good work with those. Just no Reverse Shades.

The reverse shades are the main thing that I like.

.......Don't get me started again.


Lol j/k. But they're not really all that. Read my above post and you'll see why.

 

[ZuZu]

I agree with Ryubane. I noticed right off the bat you inverted the colors and added white where the black was, and black where the white was.

Some of your splices have been nagging me. So here we go:
Houndour-Larvitar splice. At the top of its head and the neck, there is too much shadow.

 

[Diz]

Also about the Hountar, it seems that the pine cone like tail of Larvitar is melted into the back leg of the Houndour, and it looks really bizarre. Also the shading is not quite right still.

The reverse shades just look sloppy and cheap. It is very obvious that not much work went into their creation.

It is really good that this early into your career as a spriter you have taken on splices. However, those aren't really splices. You have just taken small parts from some Pokemon. Take Spiserpent for example. It would have been better if you had managed to put Scyther's scythes or wings on it, rather than just use the expression and head shape.

Also, as in the case of Psychlev, using a Pokemon's colors doesn't really count as using that Pokemon in the sprite. Also, it is very obvious that the two arms are just copy/paste/flip-ed. You didn't even bother to change the shading.

As for Esbreon, it looks really flat without outline shading. Somebody mentioned before that the tail is really long, and I agree.

Lickitine has a random yellow spot on it's tongue.

And we can't see your only revamp. Is this intentional?

I do really like your color swaps, and it's cool how you made overworld sprites of them.

I hope that you take this post seriously and don't think that I'm being mean, I just like seeing people improve their spriting.

Especially that last part for me. That's one reason I've been posting in every single sprite thread.
