@Todris052 - I'm no expert, but I prefer #1, #2 seems a bit flat (not enough contrast on the brown shadows I think, though the tail looks good).
@Tooned - I like the style, and I really like the highlights on Duosion, it definitely looks gel-like. I think maybe Solosis could use them as well. I dunno if you're after a set of pokemon to do, but if not, I'd really like to see a bouffalant in that style.
And now for my latest attempts at spriting... revamps! Unfortunately my outlining is pretty awful since I don't really get when it's appropriate to use black (resulting in some revamps that don't use it for outlining at all, bulbasaur being the most obvious)... but meh. Here we go!
I've got two r/b golbat sprites (probably my favourite sprite of that era, wekhter's animated one can probably be credited for getting me interested in spriting), but I don't know what I'd rather use. I'm more fond of the one with shading for the mouth, but a completely dark mouth is more in line with later generations. What do you guys think?
Here's something a bit more random. I've been browsing the earlier portions of this thread and saw a guy who was requesting this recolour, but I don't think anyone ended up doing it for him. Pretty sure he's disappeared by now, but I liked the design and wanted to give it a go, so here it is:
