The Spriter's Showcase! Mk II

Well. There's not much to crit on a recolour. It's very good for a first sprite, and you remembered to recolour the outlines.

Critiques and what not are welcome
 
Scootaloo, did you make that from scratch? If so, great job !(Better than anything I could have done. >.<) Next time, though, you might want to scale it back to Pokémon sprite size.

Also:

I made a friend an extremely small adoptable site as a Christmas/New Year/birthday present. I based the adoptables off some drawings we had made a while ago. C+CC?

I tried posting it with the original size, but it wasn't showing up.
And no, I didn't make it from scratch, I just used it to get used to spriting colours and shadows, using the R/B Tauros sprite.
 
Oh, so it was a revamp. Good job anyway, though. Most people do recolors (basic recolors) first in spriting (like the post at the bottom of page 6). Very, very impressive for a first attempt. Maybe try a splice? Some people find them a bit more difficult.
 
I tried my first splice. It's not very good. It's a Clefable with Psyduck feet and beak. Any comments?

This place is dead, isn't it? OH WELL.

Well, there's a couple things to critique, but otherwise pretty good. First, when splicing, you should recolor the base (in this case, the Clefable) with the colors of the other Pokémon (Psyduck). In this case, it would mean using the yellow color, not the beak color. Also, you should leave the beak as its original color, a light yellow, as well. Finally, you might want to scratch-sprite a bit to make it flow better - the beak looks a bit cut off. Otherwise, good job, but try using Pokémon that are easier to splice together next time (the Psyduck's drastically different proportions makes the beak look odd on the Clefable). As a final note, the sprite looks a bit blurry. What program are you using? Maybe try switching to another one.



On another note, you know how people always say Bugsy looks like a girl?

yeah i like it the eyes seem a bit off though and the fluff on the top looks like its just sorta sitting there and not really attached but other than that it looks pretty good :)
 
So I learned how to make chaos. (bases from a random sprite school, free to use; can post here if you want)

EDIT: It looks better without spots.

Here is, my first splice, it is, Zapsey. Zapsey is, electric/normal, and has the greatest, special defense, and, third greatest, hp, in the whole game.
