--- Yay! First scratch ever! I know it's not the greatest, but I think it's pretty good for my first one. It's a Stantler Prevo, no name as of now.

They are just simple recolors, not much to critique on besides the lack of dark outlines, but I'm guessing thats because they are made of snow/ice, right?

Edit: Oh, it says spirit...still, point still stands.
 
Your color choice seems a bit random. From what I can see, the shading could use some work, and there should be better transition into the new colors. I suggest you work on it a little more.

Now maybe I should explain this. I saw on the weirdest sprite thread that this had bad shading, so I decide to reshade some parts. The black I used the shadow of Scizor and the shadow of Darkrai to create a darker shade, the red highlight I removed in some areas, and changed in other areas. Then I changed it to a darker shade of red, which wasn't as dark as Scizor's red, that I borrowed from Nidoking. Lastly I made some minor changes in shading to round it out some more. Comments?

Someone care to comment on it?

Please rate my (not very good) revamps.

EDIT: Oh, I think the scizor's shading is good, but the sprite in general looks too dark. There are no light spots at all.
 
For the most part, you did okay. The shading looks a tad too blocky. I would round it out.

There are light spots on Scizor, but they aren't as bright as on the official sprite. I darkened the highlights a bit because the Scizor looked dark already and I wanted to add to the effect. I also rounded out the shading because it looked bad. I left a tiny bit of blockyness in there, but I don't remember the reasoning behind that.

There is one problem with it being dark: older moniters don't have as bright of a display, so some of the darker shades will look black.

EDIT: Basically, I wanted the dark look.

What the fuck are those?

Toon Link needs some MASSIVE renovations to it. The light source is everywhere and nowhere all at once, the eyes are pretty much cock-eyed and misplaced and I don't even wanna start on the outline. Outlines are always just 1 pixel wide. Always. The alignment is really terrifying; look in the mirror and copy how your eyes and your mouth are aligned with each other and with your hairline. Also, Toon Link doesn't have an egg for a head. He still has a bit of a chin.

While your splice isn't half bad, the lighting is still fucked. A bit of aligning with the head feather/hair/crownthing and you're making progress.

sammy the squirrel. I think he looks way too much like a raving rabbid, which isn't a good thing.

C+CC?

I know I haven't shaded the flippers yet, but I think there's something wrong with their outline. I'm not sure what, though.
 
The left(our right) looks too blocky, which is a problem that plauges almost every scratch sprite. Just a quick fix should do it.
