I'm going to tear this apart using critisism!

Okay, I admit, it's better than your normal stuff, but not much. The shading is a bit off, fix that by moving it to where it's sopposed to be. The outlines are one solid color, that's a no. You have to use different shades in it. Also, the lines on what I assume is the teeth aren't colored at all, another no. It also looks like you used a default paint color for the eyes, and really for the whole thing. Use costom colors next time.^^

yeah. you totally tore it apart!

anyway, seriously terry, what are you thinking submitting this into a fan game? the outline is almost non-existent, the light source is all over the place, and i can't even tell what this thing is supposed to be. what is this pokemon meant to represent? an orange blob? you should look at other people's examples of fakes before you make them yourself, maybe it could help you
 
^ Aww it's wonderfully cute~

I don't really have anything to crit because it's basically a recolour with maybe a few scratch changes that I can't see.

New scratch!

Why is the shading all odd? The red part has the highlights in the middle, which makes no sense.

Also, I don't know what it is supposed to be based off. Which isn't a bad thing, but I can't tell what type it is either.

And the outline is blocky.

Other than that, its not bad.

Urg, I need to start scratching again.
 
^It was based off a rock I saw once. I just gave it colour.
And I tried my best to make it bright. Must've failed.

What, a geode? Ok then...maybe the pokemon should look like it is coming out of the rock, rather than seeming in the middle of it. But hey.

Well, I don't know how you could have made it brighter, but the shading still needs to face in one direction. *shrugs* Like I have said, its not bad, anyway.

Ok, now can someone tell me if there is anything wrong with this?. To be honest, I am quite proud of it.

And those lumps on the legs are dirt things, like with diglett. Hm, now that I look at it, it looks odd.

The tail is strange and wonky. I can't tell what is what on the tail.

The nose is somewhat lopsided.

The front legs are OK but a little too straight but maybe that's just me.

It is quite good but the tail needs work.

It is kinda hard to see that heart...Though I think it's supposed to be bigger.

Again, what is this?

It's a cross-section of a blob with a larva in it through a microscope. Yaay. Outlines are missing, colors are too bright, and the lighting is everywhere and nowhere all at once. Yet you scratched. That's a good thing. Just don't take big leaps without perfecting the basics.

I didn't start scratching until recently, and I've been spriting for years now, ever since Ruby/Sapphire was released. You need skill at based spriting before you play with the big boys and girls.
 
Well, since this is a Spriter's Club, maybe we should discuss various topics related to spriting other than what programs to use and stuff like that. Grimdour's post got me thinking about how I got into spriting, so maybe we can discuss this first?

Well, perhaps I would never have started out spriting had it not been for the existence of Missingno. My curiosity with the glitch, which has, for the most part, been sastified a long time ago, caused me to go to TRsRockin and read up on the glitch. Missingno. wasn't the only thing on the site, and soon I found Rose's sprite contests. After looking at them, I figured I could do it, but I couldn't because Paint was apparently no where to be found. Eventually I decided to search the computer for Paint, and I started my first few sprites: A devamped Marill and the 3rd gen Azumarill spliced with parts of Chatot. I started spriting more and more, read a few tutorials here and there, but mostly was self-taught. And here I am now, talking about sprites with other people.

It was supposed to be based of both a pig's tail, and a vine. Maybe I should just remove it...

The nose is somewhat lopsided.
Since it was facing that way...I thought the nose would face that way. I guess I was wrong.

The front legs are OK but a little too straight but maybe that's just me.
That's a problem I always have with legs, it seems. *ponders*

It is quite good but the tail needs work.
Thank you. ^^

What got me into spriting...?
Uhhh...
Probably after seeing some of Diggeh, Furii, Xikaze and Butterfree's sprites ages ago, and I wanted to be able to do stuff like that.
 
I started after a few people on MH held a contest and I asked how I can join. I think my first one was Blaziken/Charizard. It was badly done, too. My first proper one was Mewtwo-Deoxys, which I think I still have in my files somewhere.

My first sprite was Dialga and Palkia mixes. Both ways, Dalkia and Pialga. *shoooootttt*

Not good.
