-Looks at Wyverii´s sprite, then AragoBird´s. then this- -_- you guys always have to make such a good job, dont you? lol. I know my join date is quite recent, but I have been a lurker for a long time, and I gotta admit, this CAP has had(in my opinion) the best sprites, seriously, it will be a really hard vote
Fixed last minute pallette issues. Hopefully it's yellow enough for ya'll now. ;o
The light source for back sprites comes from above and to the right of the Pokemon, not above and behind. If you want the light source to be the tail (not recommended), then everything needs a blue(normal)/purple(shiny) highlight.KoA said:
First of all, let me congratulate you for the amazing color scheme of the shiny, I really loved it, and the lighting below the neck is simply beautiful, however, theres is a really small nit pick I have from the backsprite and, ironically, Im refering to the necks. You see, the left and midde one look a bit too high when compared to the one to the right, maybe lowering it a tiny bit would help, other than that, this is so far my favorite(sorry guys, but it is)
Relevant, intelligent critiques appreciated.

The backsprite is amazing Doug. I'm still not 100% sure (too many good works out there guys... gimme a break^^) but you may very well have my vote. I was not persuaded at first (honestly I did not like at all your first version of the sprite) but this last is way better!Here's a tweak to my front sprite, and my first version of back sprites.
On the back sprites, I got my inspiration from some of the ingame dragon backsprites, which only show the pokemon from the neck up. Several other spriters have shown the body and tail in the backsprite, so I thought I'd go with something a little different. Plus I totally LOVE the little lightning bolt eyebrows in Cyzir's original design. With this backsprite pose, I can really accentuate them.
I love this DJD. The back sprite is amazing, and the little lightning bolts make it look really cool, and it kinda looks like a salamence pose(if thats were you got it from ^_^). The front sprite is just as good.Here's a tweak to my front sprite, and my first version of back sprites.

Love it, especially the backsprite. I do think that the left head does look rather odd staring straight like that. The three heads really make for some creative sprites, because there are so many combinations.Here's a tweak to my front sprite, and my first version of back sprites.

He's got a point. It would be kind of nice to vote for them separately, because the back and front sprites aren't exactly exclusive to the artist, are they?
If this sprites win I insist on everyone nicknaming the Shiny "Chocolate Rain".
Update on what I've done so far. I'll probably change the shiny colours though.
This. Is. Awesome.Well, I made quite a few adjustments to the main sprite, including separating the heads, making the right foot slightly bigger, making the cloud slightly lighter, and changing the tail so that it matches the original artwork more.
The female version has swirly clouds, so swirl people and no-swirl people can both be happy.
The back sprite is practically perfect, although the spikes on the head look very of "rounded" when compared to the front sprite and Original Artwork. And that fang looks slightly out of place in my opinion.Here's a tweak to my front sprite, and my first version of back sprites.
