Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all.

Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
My adoptable scratches:
They're the first adoptable scratches I've made, so I'd appreciate some crit so I can make better sprites. :D
Pinkie is precious. x3 You might want to add some shading on the wings, but it's a tiny icon so there's not too much you can do with it. Treetops... it's a worm coming from an apple, right? Er. I can't exactly tell what it is. o_o Darker outlines might help.
So, um... yeah. Try and use less colors with more contrast if you can, and darker outlines.
It's good for a scratch, though there are things wrong. I'll just point out the things that Twitch didn't.
Random scratch sprite attempt. 100% scratched~ Comments please?
... The sprite to the right is just an edited Platinum Lucario sprite.Can I have some crits on my revamp?
And Bakuphoon, I think there's something wrong with the right foot, unless it's supposed to be curved.
Well, I guess I'll post a few sprites I made.
-One of the few successful splices I've ever done (if there's any others).
It sort of looks like you just copy and pasted Glaceon's hair thing onto Eevee and recolored. Not a bad first try if it is, but some of the outlines are still brown, and the tips of the ears' outlines are a little too light.
-Glowing Pokemon Psyduck like in the Anime.
Nothing much to crit. It's nice.
-Most colors are from the sprite, but a few yellow shades had to be custom.
When you're making a recolor, try to keep it at a minimum of three colors. Here you have white (the mane), yellow (the body), navy blue (the fin thing) and light blue (the insides of the ears and head fin). I suggest you make the light blue an orange or white so it'll match the rest of the sprite.
-A lineless Spheal I made, but I've got better ones on a different computer.
Not bad, but the left side of its face looks caved in.
-I call it a "Shining Sprite". It's my first, so I need a little practice.
...Huh? I don't know the difference between it and the original.
-I call it "Silver Floatzel with Blue Accessories". I need better names...
Really good recolor, nice choices, but the outlines of the blue thing around its neck is still brown.
-I call it "Silver and Gold PorygonZ". What was I thinking with these names!?
The left arm's outline is black, when the light source is from the left side. Please, please please try to shade the outlines the same as the inside.
-I apparently didn't like the DP Delcatty coloring when I did this.
-Sometimes, trainers are great and easy to edit when I'm bored...
These are pretty nice.
If enough people like them, I'll probably start a sprite shop.
Overall, they're nice sprites, but there's definitely room to improve. Keep trying!
