Smeargle's Studio General Thread: Spriting and Banners go here!

Steelix, the one i like most is the azurill+bayleef one. The rest is, just as you said, not VERY good. But they are not bad either. Practice more, because, IMO, you have potential.

Gone 'till Saturday on a trip to see relatives. I get back around noon though.

@Radar: The area I'm talking about is right near butterfree's left leg (right from its point of view). If you don't get what I'm talking about, it's okay. It's so small most people who aren't spriters wouldn't care about it.

@steelix lover: Your general ideas are good, but many of your sprites have missing outlines, and you have shading problems. Arceus/Quagsire has the worst problems, with the head having too thick of an outline and the majority of its body being one shade. But those problems are to be expected from a relatively new spriter (that's just an off-hand guess of how experienced you are, correct me if I'm wrong).
Bayleef/Azurill (or whatever it is) is probably your best done fusion IMO.
I don't have time to critique all of your works, but you look good for now. Keep practicing and you'll be turning out amazing sprites in no time.

yea im a begginer and bayleef-azurill is my latest one but ill try to do better
i have problems with shading

C+C on this before I enter it into Serebii's WSC?

Theme is family fusion. i.e, the only sprites I can use are Hoppip's, Jumpluff's and Skiploom's.

Only thing I see right off the bat is that the tail is waaaay too straight. Not bad, otherwise. Still doesn't beat my Rejumbat. :)

The tail looks too straight and the flower on its head looks a bit out of place.

:o Any way I can make it look less out of place?

Well, Fuzz beat me to it, but I couldn't pass up the oppurtunity to revive my third scratch sprite EVER. No offense Fuzz.

Naw, I still show off my Dragonite sometimes.

IMO, move it down and to the left a few pixels.

This better?



I'll do the tail later.

Ask and you shall recieve...Rejumbat! (Regice+Jumpluff+Crobat(base))


Btw, idea came from the widely loathed Random Sprite Generator. I also made Wybodoom from that.

Hoiplu take three.



Any suggestions before I post it in Serebii's WSC?

Yeah, that looks good. I'm not sure what made the flower look off before but it looks better now.

A scratch of a fire lizard fakemon.

Does it look better with (left) or without (right) the dithering?

I prefer the one on the left, but the dithering is slightly overvigorous, and the shading on the second one seems off to me, the full lighter shape doesn't fit the light source. If there was a possible middle ground that would be good, but I definitely prefer the dithering.

Here's my stuff. I'm pretty damn new.

Fusions:


Scratches:

It goes really well with your avatar, for one.

That's really good for a first, and it really does look kind of like your avatar.

Anyway, I just completed my first pixel over. It might not be a Pokemon, but I'd like some c+c.

Also, here's the picture I used:

I just finished my first one ever. It's Drifblim, Claydol, Victreebel, Probopas, Dusclops, Butterfree, Murkrow, Monferno, And Torterra. I scratched a decent bit too.

C&c?

For a 1st that is brilliant.
Sorry this isn't a big comment, Wii typing is terrible.
Again, good sprite :)

Try to add mor shading to the hair, face, and collar; looks too flat. Also try to brighten up the Gold. Looks strange and weird, currently. Finally, the left eyebrow shouldn't have two upward angles. Yeah, so not bad for outlining and whatnot, it just looks unfinished, shading wise.

My first 100% scratch. C+C on this please.

And a random 100% scratch Medicham head for your approval:

My first sprite ever, its me as a pokemon trainer :D

Ok, made some changes:

I'm not sure I know what you mean by "the left eyebrow shouldn't have two upward angles", though. Also darkened the other scythe, since it's in the background.

okay, are these any better? i saw a guide on youtube and that heped me but are these any better than my older ones?

Scratched a Poliwag too, for the heck of it.

EDIT: Recoloured the Eevee as well:



From left to right:

Usual Eevee
Shiny Eevee
Mew's colours
Pikachu's colours
Skiploom's colours

I'm not a spriter, but I really think the flygon one looks cool.
