Glaceon looks fantastic, I think you may have finally cracked it. The only nitpick I have to make is with the furthest right leg which looks a little too bendy. Straighten it out a tad and it'll look much better.

Something still looks off with Gliscor's face. I know I'm no QC'er, but would you mind if I had a go at it?

And Arch, both your and Helix's Pikachus are well over 1'04" (33px) tall.

Nopie; take it, lol.

Rawr. :3

reyscarface · Mar 8th, 2010, 7:16:55 PM

I think its that his upper lip/ looks more "to the front" than the lower one, or maybe that the mandible is unparallel to the superior part, making it look like the mandible is behind the superior mouth part. At least thats the impression it gives me, but I think it looks excellent.

Scepticallistic · Mar 8th, 2010, 7:24:14 PM

reyscarface; the buck-teeth effect is present in all previous Gliscor sprites. DX

For kicks, I made it with its mouth closed:

rey; since lips are pretty undefined in Pokemon, setting the jaw back is essentially making the top front teeth more prominent looking.

reyscarface · Mar 8th, 2010, 7:29:48 PM

I know about the teeth, im talking about the mandible. Maybe with some shading it could look different, but im not sure, im no artist xD. But still, that Gliscor looks amazing, good job everyone who worked on it.

Blackhawk11 · Mar 8th, 2010, 7:55:17 PM

I had a headache, so I decided to do a little spriting to get my mind off of it. Didn't work.
Edit: just noticed I didn't get the entire beak colored. Apparently I couldn't tell I had some white left. Stupid eyes. I'll do that later, right now I'm on my iPod so I can't change it. Please critique it without that.

Also here's a slightly altered Bulbasaur which should be ready for QC.

IMO I think its beak needs to be angled a bit more clockwise. Its beak doesn't seem to face in the same direction as its face, or it's just me.

Nopie · Mar 8th, 2010, 9:05:40 PM

Here's what I've done with Gliscor. I fixed the position of its mouth and teeth, widened and darkened its pupils, and made the claw on the right larger to match the other one. Not to toot my own horn or whatever, but I think it looks much better this way. I've also done one with its mouth open and one with it closed. You can be the judge of which one is better. (Personally I prefer the closed mouth)

Swaggersaurus · Mar 8th, 2010, 9:14:48 PM

that does look better - i think editing the (our) right fang to straighten it up made all the difference

i too prefer the closed mouth version

glaceon looks great too!

Tayla · Mar 8th, 2010, 9:40:45 PM

Why'd you change Glaceon's expression. As in, made it goofy grin?

Scepticallistic · Mar 8th, 2010, 9:54:26 PM

Because the :< frown was not working at all and is not in style for Pokemon-styled quadrupeds, particularly the Eeveelutions. The < is usually made by the anatomy of dogs and cats in the real world, but Pokemon seldom do that. It's not goofy; it's cute. :D

Sometimes, multiple views and thoughts are needed to make something work out. I was tiring of Gliscor and my creative process grew stale. <- That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. Good job. XD

But, just to humor you,

without the "goofy grin." I like the grin better, but democracy prevails?

Tayla · Mar 8th, 2010, 10:34:46 PM

Er.. ya. I liked the grin better too xD Can you maybe move the mouth up a pixel, though? It looks too far down to me. D:

wickdaggler · Mar 8th, 2010, 10:35:16 PM

I like the grin better. I also like my version better, but whatever. That one looks fine to.

Scepticallistic · Mar 8th, 2010, 10:40:08 PM

Higher mouth.

Tayla · Mar 8th, 2010, 10:40:59 PM

That looks amazing :D Thanks Scepti ^^

Nopie · Mar 9th, 2010, 4:25:09 AM

I want to get to work on redoing Arceus, but I need people's opinion's on what pose looks best. It's going to be either one of these two here. I've already scaled them to 160x160 so you can have an idea of what the finished sprite will look like. Keep in mind that Arceus is ten feet tall.

Let me know what you think.

I actually liked the original, what happened to it?

Nopie · Mar 9th, 2010, 4:36:45 AM

Not enough people liked it. I wasn't 100% happy with it either. Basically it was too chibi-style.

Oh. I actually thought it looked great. In that case i prefer the steel typed one.

Nopie · Mar 9th, 2010, 5:24:25 AM

That's the one I'm leaning towards as well as it's a similar pose to the first one but will be more correctly proportioned.

Also (this is mainly for Alch) I've had to re-host some of my images, so some of my previous ones won't work any more. Here they are again if you need them.

wickdaggler · Mar 9th, 2010, 10:07:03 AM

Well, I'd go w/ the steel pose.

Swaggersaurus · Mar 9th, 2010, 11:11:22 AM

the steel one looks like it'll just lead to a very similar sprite as the last one. is that just me? i also prefer the pose on the right

I concur the, right one.

wickdaggler · Mar 9th, 2010, 2:12:27 PM

Looseing... Insperation... must... keep... spriting...

I tried fixing up Latias to get the ball rolling. It's kind of rough, but this is a general idea of what I think it should look like.
So, do you like this, or thebattleax's version better?
