Resourcefulness: Pillow Sprites

This is where kipp and I differ. He tends to differ from the true color progression, and goes for the one that looks more like the original sprite. This leaves the sprite flatter (much flatter), but closer to the original sprite. This is fine, but I try to keep to the color progression the same, even if the sprite looks quite terrible after (note my ditto), but it looks more lifelike. Yes, I will occasionally cheat (note Ho-oh), but that is because Ho-oh's base orange sprite is half orange/half red. Since we have a philosophical difference here, we should hear other peoples' opinions.

I vote Random.
 
For future reference, I'm a girl. :B

I decided to make it a shade darker, but I generally prefer my sprites to be lighter as it leaves them looking more...I dunno the word. More basic. Here's the side-by-side with the new sprite--

The colors are the same except on the blue part, but the shading style is still a lot different. That's what I meant by different shading styles. Sorry for making it, uh, unclear.

Working on Electrode.

Woah, sorry about the gender confusion. I have a friend named Kipp, so I assumed...well, we know what happens when we assume. Anyway, now you're using the style of spriting that I use. I inspected random's sprite and I noticed that he boxes the corners of his outlines. That's why it looks a tad off, so I'll add your gligar now. I'm almost mad that so much is already being added.
 
Haha, my username used to be TheKirlikip (Kirlia + Mudkip) so people call me Kip now. Kip rhymes with Chip so yeah.

Sorry for making so many sprites so quickly. |D I think I'll be done for the day (unless of course I make a ton and just post them tomorrow.)

Which looks better? The left one has a darker shade around the eyes, and the right one does not. For now, they're both on the same canvas.

Sorry for spamming up the thread with all my posts btw.

The difference is very subtle in the sprites, and I didn't even notice at first. I'd go with the left one though. :>

I'm reserving Heracross as well.

Also, I just noticed that after being here for about a month and a half I have almost 230 posts. I didn't realize I posted that much, haha.
 
Thanks for the rates, guys. I'm still new at this, so I will get better at this...

"WABUFET!" Oh no! It's Wobbufet! Rates?

Erm... I cheated on this one; specifically, I skipped the brown on the head petals. ^^;; I did it to make it look more like the original sprite.

I did a comparison to show, and I think the cheat version looks way better, so it's what I'm submitting. But here it is anyway:

Great work everyone, and I'm digging that Mantine. :3 *downloads BW Hoppip*
 
Okay, this is just hard... I finished it, as you can see, but the leaves' shading is just wrong, as you will especially notice if you zoom in, and no matter how little or more I do, I just can't get it right. The rest of it is fine, though (if a little dark, but it'd look too flat otherwise), so I'm uploading what I have and inviting any of you to try to finish it. I blanked out the leaves for anyone who wants to start from scratch, which might be easier. Thank you in advance!

I don't think Hoppip's that bad Jumpluff. Definitely not as bad as you're making it out to be.

Also, here's Kadabra v2. Sorry, I just made a few shading errors, and I'm a complete perfectionist.

Edit: there's a few more missed pixels, I'll post v3 soon.
 
I pillowed aron and discovered that small sprites don't pillow well

That was my second try. here's my first (on the top) compared to my second (on bottom)

Nice Bellsprout line/Aron, you guys! The second Aron is definitely better though, go with that. Thanks for already having it transparent too :B

The Hoppip's leaves did look a little rough, so I touched them up within a few minutes--

I cheated A LOT on the leaves, but it looks a bit better, right?... Feel free to scrap it if you prefer yours, lol.

Gonna reserve Pinsir to go with Heracross.

EDIT: Nice Kadabra as well. :D

EDIT 2: Today is a lazy day...don't expect much from me. Here's Pinsir though--

Looks flat, even though I used as many shades as I could. Looks even worse without the lightest shade. :B Gonna do Cherubi and Cherrim now (or at least try to).
 
Looks awesome, icay. C: /totally not biased, in love with Denchura

And here's Cherubi.

I cheated on the second head. I also started out a shade darker on the second head since it's supposed to be in shadow. I keep making things too flat, lol.
 
So... Pillowing fire... Yeah, it's kind of... different...
EDIT: Here's v.1 of Cyndaquil, expect a different one soon.

EDIT2: I told you it'd come quick... Here's v.2:

Personally, I like v.2 better, but you tell me.
