To me, something seems a little off on the Exeggutor. I think the faces, especially the "eyebrows" need to be a little more curved. In general it should look a little more lazy, especially in the faces. Heres my reference:

...

Exeggcute should give off more of that Psyduck/Slowbro feeling imo. Also, I feel that the leftmost face should be smiling.

The Exeggcute look fine.

Tayla · Apr 4th, 2010, 10:54:22 PM

Last I checked, Pokemon IS a cartoon. I'm quite willing to fix them up, but I adore their poses. I'm not willing to change it unless someone besides you say they look like they got hammered.. haha.

Also, Alch, I have 8 sprites pending, not 6.

For Exeggcute, the lower-(our)left egg's dark shading doesn't look round. Also, I think the light shading on Exeggutor's body could be bigger.

Also, I haven't gotten feedback for Registeel.

This is NOT a finished version; just looking for feedbacks.

Considering how badly Pokemon USA butchered it, it may as well be a cartoon.

Tayla · Apr 4th, 2010, 11:09:32 PM

The Japanese Pokemon is an anime, yes. The PUSA is, sorry to say, a cartoon.

pika · Apr 4th, 2010, 11:14:00 PM

Also, considering that anime just means cartoon in Japanese (kinda like manga and comics), everyone should just accept their weirdass hobbies for what they are. :D What's wrong with watching cartoons?

My uninformed self still believes that helix's pikachu is adorable

wickdaggler · Apr 4th, 2010, 11:22:30 PM

@ Helix
Pikachu's left arm looks a bit sloppy, it's left ear is a tad to big, and doesn't connect with the body well, the head is a bit to small, despite the pose, the feet look like squares, and the shading on the lower half it's body just looks odd...
*huff* *huff*

I'm sorry I have so much critique for it, but I think there is a beautiful sprite under that pikachu... you just need to flesh it out.

Tayla · Apr 4th, 2010, 11:24:44 PM

Ya, I need to fix it up. But do you like the pose Darkanine?

wickdaggler · Apr 4th, 2010, 11:42:40 PM

Yeah

pika · Apr 5th, 2010, 7:30:16 AM

om nom nom nom nom

om nom original sketch nom

oh and before people go "trapinch is not furry blah blah stop being a dither-whore"

edit: would also like to reserve octillery and masquerain if possible, would also like to know how long zangoose has been reserved for

pika · Apr 5th, 2010, 8:30:58 AM

since seviper is the most complicated pokemon i've attempted so far, i'd appreciate a proportion and "seviper-ness" check on the preliminary sketch to make sure i haven't gotten stuff wrong before i begin doing the pixel stuff. thx! :D

I think this is really great. Although, the double loop in its body at the left is a little awkward. The tip of its head should be a little longer, and the tip of the tongue and the front of its body should be a tad thicker. I edited the said changes on top of your sketch to show you what I mean, I really hope you don't mind. If you do, let me know.

pika · Apr 5th, 2010, 12:24:48 PM

i wanted opinions which is why i asked :D
upon closer inspection of the sprite and the official art you are right about the head, tongue, and front of the body, but i'm not sure about changing the way it's coiled. i just want to AT ALL COSTS avoid the scrunched-accordion shape you see seviper in 99.9% of the time because that's boring, bleh.

i'll experiment a bit later on.
thx!

Yeah I agree with you about the boring scrunchy pose. When I was tweaking your sketch, I thought it would look cool if you put the tail on the left of the body and have the blade pointing forward. That way you could still play around with its coils without it looking awkward.

NikLink · Apr 5th, 2010, 3:54:08 PM

aaaaaaaah I'd almost finished Luxio and I deleted it aaaaaahohgodohgod

also that Trapinch's head looks too big

pika · Apr 6th, 2010, 1:26:38 AM

shrunk

new seviper.

maybe something like this? he looks a little short.

Tayla · Apr 6th, 2010, 2:01:56 AM

He looks amazinnnng. Like a rattlesnake with his tail.

I love it!! I think if you made the tip of his tail a little shorter, he wouldn't look short then. Or you could move that whole redrawn part of its body on the left further back, that way it looks more correct perspective-wise. Either way, I really like it.

Tayla · Apr 6th, 2010, 9:12:06 AM

Pika!

Yes. Its left ear. I'm trying okay? xD Some changes. :)

pika · Apr 6th, 2010, 10:52:22 AM

thx for all the help i like this waaaay more than my first sketch! :D

@Helix: you already know i love that pikachu to bits, and i claim that people are only criticising it because they're not used to seeing pika in that pose. :(

but it's true that the shading is a little bit off, but i'm not sure how to explain it in words.

wickdaggler · Apr 6th, 2010, 11:46:41 AM

Great!
Just round out her left ear, pull the shading away from her right leg, and tilt the foot slightly upwards.

Besides that, it looks pretty finished to me

pika · Apr 6th, 2010, 1:43:23 PM

looks a bit messy, but it's 2am. bbl

Nopie · Apr 6th, 2010, 2:07:12 PM

Fixed up the Eggies based on the feedback. let me know if they're any better!

I love Seviper's pose, but I think that it could stand to be a bit bigger. That's just my opinion though, I don't know what anyone else thinks about it.

DarthVader317 · Apr 6th, 2010, 2:24:12 PM

Considering Seviper's length, and the perspective of the pose making the tail seem farther back, I'd say it's large enough. With these non-standard poses you can't necessarily use the hard numbers and measurement grid from the first post.

Though if you do decide to make Sevi bigger, probably no more than 2 pixels in any direction from the current outline.
