I entered this scratch sprite 1v1 competition
The guidelines were to make a Water/Psychic
I lost because the judge is "anti-tie" as he says, and he insists it would have been a tie had he not been anti-tie.
I want your opinion, the serpent thingy is the thing I made this morning, the squid thing is the other guy's.

Which is better?

Honestly, I can see a number of spots on your outline that could be smoothed out. Right now it looks jaggedy and rough. But the shading is as good as the other one.
 
At a glance, I like the Shading on yours better since it is in accordance with the traditional Pokemon light source, whereas the other's LS is from bottom left. As a critique on yours, right off the bat the outline could use some tidying up. Aside from that, tho, I would make the Base Outline color darker. It looks like it's lacking an outline where the BOC is. I like both concepts tho.

Btw, Monarain says hi.

Back in the day I used to do a little bit of spriting.
Here is some of what I could Find.

Fusions

Alright, here's my WSC entry so far. Looking for some C&C before I submit :) (Especially on the repose!!)

EDIT: I hope what I've done on the Metang claws is acceptable, I've left a darker shade of blue in the outline instead of using a shade corresponding to the grays... it just looked good that way.

Wow nice mr black let's see . I don't think people will complain about the claws on the random mix. it's preferred not but it's okay. the ice retype is okay nothing to complain about .
the repose , while it looks good on first i have a little problem with the feet and the face . the feet are flat and i don't think any fighting pokemon has regular flat feet like that . and the face . well its just doesn't look like infernape's . on the body i have nothing to complain about . maybe a bit to thick but that's okay .
 
I've been doing some edits to Mizubi
People were saying to fins looked bad and the curves were a bit off, so I've been working on it.

Can I get some C+C before I enter them into the WSC? Non-glow or glow Unown?

Also, a random thing I did today:

I call it a medalmon. C+C?

The fusion and repose look fine, but Infernape's right arm looks off. Since the shoulder armor (or whatever it's called) is facing us, it makes it look like a left arm. And, yeah, there's also the feet thing Satyr mentioned.
 
@Faze: It looks better. To be incredibly nitpicky, right next to the front fin could be rounded a bit more, but it's not really noticable with the new fin placements so you can leave it if you want.


Charizard repose:

I think I need more shading on the tail and body, but are there any structural issues?

Based on some people's comments and fixed some horrid outlining on the left leg I can't believe I didn't notice before. Cheers for the feedback guys!

Darthvader, that Charizard is brilliant.

Also, I edited this slightly, it's more consistent now.

Looks pretty good. The only thing I'd reccomend would be to shorten the neck a bit. I don't think necks bend at 180 degree angles. Maybe you could cut a bit of bended area off or something. Not completely sure myself what to do here...

Still, I like the pose of the sprite. Very cool idea.

I figured Charizard's neck was serpentine enough to bend around like that. I tried shortening the neck a bit though, it's the one on the right.

If I go with that one I'll have to realign out the back and wing placement, but is that any better?
