The Spriter's Showcase! Mk II

[Mumzy]

I got bored.

You... Need to invent pokemon!

The flying Purrloin should have a second wing.

True, but if the wings are closed just draw a distinct line for the second wing. Otherwise it looks like it only has one in the middle of it's back... Unless, it's supposed to? Which is interesting but the size of the wing indicates that it can be used in flight, so I would make it smaller. Either way nice purrloins!

I finally decided to finish a pixel-over of Flygon EX (and it only took a few years!). Since it took so long the lines are probably a little wonky in places, but oh well, can't really be bothered to fix now. I also apparently can't be bothered to make an actual thread.

Really, really amazing sprite. You used a lot of shades and added, (what I believe is called hatching?) between every shade. It's hard to believe it's a sprite.Nice work.

 

[Kyntelle]

On the new sprite, maybe the feathers on the head could be changed into leaves? (You don't see feathers on lilypads anywhere :P)

It's supposed to look like a flower. :P But I guess it WAS a feather, and I can probably change it a bit. And I'll try scratch shading, but I'm kind of awful at it.

Your sprite looks good, but the center looks like it's pointing down a bit to me, while the leaves/petals are more upright. [/nitpick]

 

[Keldeo]

Semigelatinous icecream that is strangely shiny. Solosis and Snorunt are the best ice-cream-makers ever.

I suppose it could be shaded better, especially the cone.

 

[Kyntelle]

You're right about the cone. Also, I think you can use more shades because you have only 2 colors, but I'm not sure.

I recently compiled all my non-JPEG sprites I still have. C+CC? (BTW, the fail-ish scratch was made before I learned about the 3/4 view, which I have not made a sprite with yet. Also, I made some of this stuff years ago, so my spriting technique has improved since then.

 

[Keldeo]

...That's a lot of sprites!

On the last row, though: The charizard woman is a little busy, and the tail looks like it's coming from her left leg. The dragonite woman has a few pixels missing from her tail. The others don't have enough black in their outline (this applies to most of the people), making them look extremely light. And also shading. The eevee (is that eevee?) person's skirt shading is flat, not curved. The ampharos person's dress shading is a little awkward, and there are a few pixels missing from the bottom of her right shoe.

And the espe-vaporeon's hind legs have an awkward position making it look like it has three or four hind legs.

 

[Mumzy]

*Facepalm* Just realized Kyntelle already edited the sprites.. Anyways they look awesome!
Anyways Kyntelle I'm IN LOVE with your Charizard sprite girl! the only thing is the tail is attached to the leg? I would put it up higher and under both wings C: I would die for that one though! XD That does make me want to make a human/charizard/houndoom girl, but that, would be copying your idea, hah.. that is a team Magma sprite right? I'm a fan of them. Usually when I'm feeling nerdy I say I'm in team magma... >->

Absoul, you know what I think would help is you know how ice cream cones have waffle squares? You should add crosses, just saying.

 

[Keldeo]

It's a waffle-cone-less ice-cream cone.
Also, the paint-bucket tool in my program is glitchy, so it's pretty hard for me to recolor (that's why the ice-cream is green instead of, say, brown or white.)

I know the tail is connected to the leg in that sprite. I made it ages ago, but I think I could probably change it a bit.

Yes, it is a Team Magma sprite. I got the bases from my old files, so I could probably just change those. Also, yes, that is an Eevee.

I'm not sure why pixels are missing. I'll check on that.

It's fine if you use that idea! It is different, after all.

 

[Keldeo]

Random vulpix recolor I made ages ago. I'll work on the waffle cones later.

Well, not much to crit, except that in my opinion I think the colors don't go that well together.

 

[DragonHeart]

i have been spriting for a little while and i pesonally think that this is the best one i have made so far

It's good, but one little notice. All four legs are the same.

 

[DragonHeart]

the're suppose to be like that the gold parts go all the way around the legs

 

[Keldeo]

I think Dar means that the legs in the back should be shaded darker and perhaps smaller. Take a look at Giratina, for instance:


See how all its legs aren't the same because of perspective and position?

 

[DragonHeart]

oh okay i see now i will fix that in a little bit thanks for the pointer ist funny bacause i actually used girantina's legs for the sprite :D

 

[CloudCat]

I just strated spriting a couple if days ago. Tell me if this is good. Please, be brutally honest, and if you are mean about, I'll probably fix it better.
I'll just have to post a link to Photobucket, though..

Here!

 

[Dragon]

@CloudCat: psst photobucket has codes you can use! They're under 'Image Links' in a sidebar somewhere.

That's just a recolour, yes? You'll want to not completely recolour the outline to black; for example it's all black on the curl, ears and eyes. Use a few pixels of a darker shade of the inside colour where the light hits the sprite. ((terribly worded sorry)) Since you just started you might wanna take a look at [URL="http://www.dragonflycave.com/recoloring.aspx"]Butterfree's guide[/URL] for a few tips yes.

 

[Keldeo]

CC: what dragon said. I highly recommend reading the spriting guide on the main site's recolor section! It's very helpful.

wait that's what dragon said

Also, a sprite I made ages ago and posted in my old dead sprite thread but I think could be better (so C+CC?)

 

[Spoon]

I think your Mew/Zangoose sprite is pretty good. I might I suggest fixing its right (our left) leg where the thigh and leg meet so that the corner between them isn't there. Same applies for its left leg, which probably needs less dark gray shading, too, Also, the outline on where the the first two tufts of fur meet on our left seems kind of thick due to the darker shading, so lightening it might help. Furthermore the zigzag on the belly seems off, but I can't really put my finger on it, sorry. Finally below Zagmew's (or Mewgoose's, if your prefer) right arm (our left) where its butt and tail meet seems a bit pasted together; might I recommend either smoothing it out or adding some darker shading to separate the two?

 

[Kyntelle]

Good sprite, but the tail looks connected to its left leg, because the arm blocks some of the sprite. I don't know it it's supposed to be like that, though. :/

Also, why is the front of the snout black?

(sorry for nitpicking :P)
