Let me know what you think.

The Psychic-one. The Steel one is looking a bit squished and its hind left (our right) leg gets cut off, as is part of its right (our left) foreleg, meaning it will have to be downsized a bit to get it all in, or otherwise you'll have to make its legs shorter and stubbier, giving it part of the same problem that the first one had. The Psychic one does a much better job fitting within the constraints as is, so it's the one I'd go with (I also personally like its pose better than the Steel one's more rigid pose, so that works as well).

Alchemator · Mar 9th, 2010, 3:13:32 PM

I'm also thinking the Psychic Arceus.

Update, Scept finally solved my problem with Glaceon (just as I realised what it was, curses :P)

I'm also working on an Arcanine, so expect that up relatively soon.

I do believe thebattleax is working on a new Latias. I guess I might start working on my own sprites soon, but not until QC is under a comfortable level. -.>

Nopie · Mar 9th, 2010, 4:18:58 PM

I went ahead and used the pose on the left. I think it turned out quite good, definitely better than the first one. Tell me what you think.

I'm pretty happy with it, but if it doesn't turn out to be satisfactory I can always go and do the pose on the right.

Scepticallistic · Mar 9th, 2010, 4:29:05 PM

It's not chibi anymore, that's for sure. XD I think with this "imposing" view the shading is going to have to be a little different, since right now it just looks like the head is a bit small. :D

Nopie · Mar 9th, 2010, 4:30:59 PM

How might it be different?

Scepticallistic · Mar 9th, 2010, 4:34:22 PM

As in more shading; with the shade as the predominant color and a highlight near the edges, it creates the effect that it's "blocking" out the light source. Also, more shading on the legs compared to a lighter head area (meaning it's closer to the light) will also help the distortion a little. I think. Or maybe that's just how I shade. >_>

Nopie · Mar 9th, 2010, 4:35:52 PM

Ah, okay, I get what you mean. No problem, I'll give it a try.

Scepticallistic · Mar 9th, 2010, 5:44:24 PM

Lalala reserving Rhyperior.

Aww Alch was on today but didn't update. *sad face*

Nopie · Mar 9th, 2010, 5:58:27 PM

Is this like what you were thinking?

Scepticallistic · Mar 9th, 2010, 6:44:44 PM

Looks a bit better, but I'm all out of ideas. Try having a bit of light color on the tail and the eye looking at the target. ?_?

Nopie · Mar 9th, 2010, 7:49:11 PM

How about now?

Also, Poliwag. Did you know that it's two feet tall? I sure didn't.

Scepticallistic · Mar 9th, 2010, 10:33:05 PM

RHYPERIOR SMASH

Arceus is looking good; Poliwag could maybe use some tinkering with its eyes? :o

Looks good, but I think its left elbow spike could use darker shading on the side. Also, why does it have light shading around the back of its "belt"?

EDIT: Speed forme Deoxys image link seems to be broken in your gallery.

Scepticallistic · Mar 9th, 2010, 10:53:42 PM

Amended and fixed.

I think you might have missed this so I'll re-iterate it. Thanks.

Could you elaborate?

Also, Rhyperior looks great. Don't forget to create a female sprite as well, with a slightly smaller auxiliary horn.

wickdaggler · Mar 10th, 2010, 5:07:17 AM

The "shine" in poliwag's eye's seems a little... off. Mabey put it closer to the top right.
Also, the iris of poliwag's eyes are inconsistant. the one on our right has it in the bottom right corner of it's eye, while the one on our left is in the center. It would look better if it was consistant.

Nopie · Mar 10th, 2010, 5:48:31 AM

Is that any better?

Oh, it looks a little "square" around the chest. Fix that and I think it can go through.

Nopie · Mar 10th, 2010, 12:41:46 PM

Actually, it looks a little big. Not counting the antennae it stands at 2'04", but that's even as it's hunching over. I think it needs to get a bit smaller.

Anyway, here's Poliwhirl.

That's alot better! Poliwhirl looks great to.

Scepticallistic · Mar 10th, 2010, 7:09:54 PM

I've grudgingly decided to just go ahead and let the slight height-offenders pass, since it's unlikely anyone will want to work to fix them (and if it's really terrible, someone will do it eventually...right?)

So, these will pass:

And, as a "Hi there, Alch" reminder, these are complete:

Gliscor QC by Nopie as well.

...and Poliwag and Poliwhirl are a go! :D

Volbeat is fixed and ready to roll.

Thank you for your hardcore updates, Alch. B)

On another note; Arch overtakes me in completed sprites because my sprites are rotting in the QC list. ;^;
