It's a good concept, but they're awfully small. I think even normal Shaymin is larger sprite-wise. They also look a little uneven, with one side rounder than the other. The shading seems okay, though it's hard to judge when the sprite is so small.
 
Much too small.

The smallest Pokemon is Natu (RSE), and even he's bigger:

natu

It is cute, though... just too small to crit.
 
C+C for my first scratch fakemon?

On the back of its necks, are those strips? ;o The right forepaw (our left) seems a little awkward, it appears to be twisted backwards.The left forepaw (our right) is a bit bulky up top.

Just parts that bother me ;o
 
It looks a bit off in proportions, and usually you would need to fix the shading on revamps.

ugh i need help with this C+C please!

how can it be off in proportions, if you're gonna call THAT off, how about you tell it to the one who originally MADE the sprite T_T

Just because it was made that way back when sprites could only be like 65 pixels wide and tall doesn't mean it actually looks good :/ I mean look at the GRBY sprites and compare them to the latest DS sprites. There's more with them that looks wrong than just the limit on colors.

If you want a specific example, look at your Tyranitar's toes. Why does one foot have one giant toe and the other have three regular toes?

What you need to do is what we call "scratch editing". In layman's terms, changing the outline. There's a lot, lot more to revamping than just changing the colors. You have to fix the shading and the outline and make it look like an up-to-date sprite that looks like it was ripped straight from one of the games, it's so gosh-darn authentic looking.
 
It's painfully clear that you just copy-pasted Brock's eye there.

Also, what's with the arm to our right? It's stretched at a ridiculously short angle

Um I did not edit anything, it came that way from a cool trainer, I just made him a cosplayer and colored his hair and eye

The only thing I can see is that the (our) right club looks like it ends where the (our) right foot does, mostly because part of the bottom of the club is flat. Rounding it out might help. It's a minor nitpick, but it's the only thing I could find.
 
Wow, very nice. Something bothers me about the Latias one, though: I think it's how the ear-things seem sort of disconnected, making the head look bare. Also, they seem too skimpy on the head compared to the Latios ones. Also, the area behind its left eye looks too bright against the eye itself.

Okay, I need some crits on this. I made it as an avatar for a certain banned member. Thanks.
 

C+C please

I love the way you did this. It looks great, but the front of Gardevoir's "hairdo" blends in to what you can see with the back. As some of us had said before, you should keep some of the outlines black where black needs to be used so that we can have more perspective to see what's in front of what.

Lucas775: That made me laugh. :) Two things I can see that could be fixed: the first thing is that when I first looked, I thought Kakashi's eye was a bit too wide. And it also doesn't look like he's holding the book much, but that could probably be because you can't see his thumb from this angle.

Yeah, if you could see it, his thumb would be parallel to the middle finger on the other side of the book.

Although I do see what you mean with the eye. How does this look?

Good but it needs some black lines on Kakashi, cause it just looks off
