TorterraOats' Sprite Gallery

All I can say is that they're either really good or meh. No bad ones here. You're a very good spriter. Keep up the good work.

Oh, but that Zorua one at the very end looks more along the lines of a Pixel-over than a scratch. Just thought I'd point that out.
 
I do have a tutorial on Marriland, so I'll post the tips I had from there:

These are for beginners kind of...

TIPS:

-SAVE AS .PNG. JPG messes up the image quality, and BMP isn't accepted into some uploading sites and will look like JPG. GIF can also mess up the quality.

PNG:
PNG.png

JPG:
JPG.jpg

GIF:
GIF.gif

BMP:
BMP.jpg

BMP might not get that messed up. It all depends. To be safe, still use PNG.

-Observe which colors are the main body colors. If purple is a main body color on one sprite, and red is the main body color on another sprite, use those colors on each other, and the same for the extra parts.

-Choose pokemon that are almost the same position or have extremely versitile parts. Don't try to fuse Snorlax and Pichu, Wailord and Bidoof, and so on.

-Don't do more than a 5 pokemon fusion right away. It most likely will come out horrible. Wait until you master 2, 3, 4, and 5 pokemon fusions.

I scratched the shading, but yeah... It was a pixel over. Now I currently have 101 sprites.

OK I thought so. That Vaporeon/Skorupi sprite in the mini-tutorial is a little strange. The head doesn't match the body very well, and I find it a little funny because you said to use Pokémon that match up. Don't worry; this kind of tutorial is exactly the kind of thing beginners need. You probably made a hundred sprites better by posting it.
 
Can you link me to the Marilland tutorial? I just like learning new stuff :D
 
I can't link you right now because Marriland is down for maintenance. PM me in 3 days to remind me if I forget.
 
KK. Thanks for letting me know, I have a couple of bookmarks in Marriland xD
 
I see some potential.

Just keep practicing. And whatever you do, do NOT get out of practice. I haven't done it in 2 years and I can't do a simple scratch anymore.
