Are we doing a reservation purge soon? :o

I really want to do the Tyranitar line, which was reserved by Black Buddha-- and his reservation was 2 months ago as of today (he also hasn't posted in this thread since then, I don't think). :s

Yeah, I was really forward to seeing an Amethyst Tyranitar, but I have faith that you will do an amazing job at it. I'd love to make more reservations, but I already have quite a few batch of things reserved, and on top of that, FFXIII >.<

Yeah, actually, I've been dying to do Rotom and its various formes ever since I started this project. It was reserved by XandZero2 six weeks ago and I haven't heard anything about it since.

As I said before (I think) I will not be doing a reservation purge. If you list the reservations that you would like to be considered to be removed I'll contact that person to kick their ass into gear I mean ask if they will still be completing the sprite.

I'll contact Black Buddha and X. I'm not keen on adding Pokemon with size problems, as there is no real time limit on this project they should just be redone. The highlight on Quilava's left (looking at it) seems a tad out of place.

Thanks for contacting Black Buddha for me. :D ||| Proposition: inappropriately-sized sprites are the responsibility of the original creator to fix right? So if a sprite is deemed the wrong size it should be removed from the QC (to prevent clutter) until an appropriate replacement is made. ||| Darkanine the outline of the Shedinja is all black and the halo needs to be a bit more curved. It's a bit U-shaped right now. The Aipom...*scratches head* I'm not really sure where to start. :x Maybe I'll let someone else critique and I'll come back to it later. ?_? ||| Paragraphs are denoted by "|||" since for some reason it's not letting me paragraph my posts.

Posting to say I'm reserving Golduck (and by reserving I mean I'll have it done shortly, I just don't want to get ninja'd). Also, I plan on fixing up Machop, I just haven't got around to it.

In addition to that (because I just used the word 'also' and hate sounding repetitive), I posted Shinx awhile ago but it isn't in QC. When I post Golduck in a bit I'll post it as well.

EDIT: Ahhh, it appears the HGSS sprite is based off of the Sugomori art. Not sure if I should continue spriting it. Here's what I got:
The lineart is still a bit rough. I just noticed that I'm pretty much resizing the HGSS sprite. Should I use a different pose?

Scept I agree 100% on Aipom. It looks...rough. Make the lines smoother. Make features more defined. The curves should be curvier. Atm the face looks like it's a bunch of random pixels. The tail hand thing looks like it got run over by a steam roller. Make those 'fingers' more round. Make the ears more defined, right now they look like blobs hanging off of the face with a spot in the middle. I realize that could come off as a bit harsh, but hopefully you'll take it as the constructive criticism it was meant to be. =/

Reserving Heatran, legendaries suddenly got popular.


I'll make Sentret later and maybe do Pidgey and Pidgeotto since it looks like nobody is going to touch them anytime soon. By the way, the Pidgeot link is broken in your QC list Alch.

Arch, good luck on the Heatran. I tried it once and it's simply too wide a Pokemon; finding a decent pose that allows it to be tall enough and fit inside 160 for width is a true challenge.

Finished up the last member of the Poli family.



Also, what's happening with Arceus? I don't see it in the Quality Control list. Does it still need work or was it just missed? Here it is again, let me know everyone!




Speaking of Quality Control, Alch, you have me listed as having just one sprite in the list when it's actually three (Poliwrath, Deoxys-N, Munchlax). The links for Deoxys-N and Munchlax are broken though, so here they are again.

I think Politoed and Poliwrath can pass. Alch, I think you missed the Volbeat I corrected slightly. :3

Reposting these as no one commented on them ever. --

Read Scepti's comments for the Shedinja. As for the Aipom, I will list my comments in a list:
  • The palm of its "hand" on its tail should be just as big as its body (by that, I mean excluding the head and legs). I am not quite sure if its size is in proportion to the body, but I just wanted to point that out.
  • Its right (our right) "finger" on its tail hand is bigger than the middle one. Make sure that the middle finger is the biggest, but not by a lot.
  • Needs teeth line that is distinguishable, although I'm not sure how you would do that on such a small sprite.
  • Its ears need to be more round.
  • Its "mohawk" is not visible.
  • Its ears are not supposed to be perfectly circular. They should be more vertically elliptical and there has to be adequate space between the ears on its head (the ear on our right seems to violate that the most).
The picture I used as reference can be found here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wi...ok%C3%A9mon%29

I'm gonna comment on the sprites that I haven't criticized yet. Politoed and Munchlax looks great, and so does Arceus. About Arceus, I was thinking that it could use some more light shading at the front of its body, but maybe the darker shading is better to convey its dominating appearance. I am not sure, but that's my two cents.

  • Monferno's arms look flat due to a lack of shading. The same thing applies to the flame on the tip of its tail as well.
  • Celebi's body looks a bit too flat and straight. Also, make its legs a but more distinguishable; I'm not sure if it's crossing its legs or not. Some parts of the feet could use rounding as well.
  • Nidoran (male) seems smaller than the female, although it's supposed to be the other way around (1'08" and 1'04" respectively).

Update.

I think Poliwrath has more potential, so I'm not letting it pass just now.

The number of sprites completed/QC'd is a bit off and inaccurate due to my old system of:
*Pokemon* - going through Quality Control

but now it's:
*Pokemon* - going through Quality Control (*Spriter*)

So this won't happen again. That said can you all post the number of sprites you have completed, checked and are currently in QC. Thanks.

EDIT: Wild Arcanine appeared!

EDIT2: The eye really doesn't seem to work in any other way from what I've tried. If you want to have a go be my guest. As for the shading... Arcanine is a fire type so it produces its own light! Nah I'll have a go at that tomorrow xD in the meantime:

Arcaraid always was my favourite.

Sprites Completed: 20
Sprites checked: 28
Sprites in QC: 7

Alch, the Arcanine looks kind of bug-eyed. XD I also think it could use some more shading, since it seems very light on the upper half.

The gallery website has been updated to reflect the Tinypic account changes.

The fur looks really flat, add little patches that stick out with shadows under them, like with the official sprite. His (our) left front leg bends akwardly. And the black stripes are always black, unless under the brightest light.

I've been busy!

Sunkern was terrible. I started off by scratching it, but then realized it was way too big, so I scaled it down and down and down and down. Now it looks crappy.

So far, I've completed 4 sprites and have 2 sprites in QC. Not counting any of these.

Everything seems to be in proportion for kingler Nopie, aside from the head. And by head, I mean the red peice above the tan jaw. It, along with the eyes, seem too big for a kingler, and it comes off as childish and big-headed. Not at all the grizzled, badassed Kingler that I'm sure you were aiming for. The crown peice is great though, just keep that, whilst making the head shorter. Here is the original compared to yours:


EDIT: I Reserved Floatzel, Hariyama, and Croagunk. The Floatzel is sized, outlined, and colored. I'll do the shading and finish the finer points by tomorrow (March 13th). I don't wanna sign on to see that someone already posted a Floatzel sprite once I finish with mine. So can you please mark Floatzel, Croagunk, and Hariyama as reserved to TacoHawk?
