Smeargle's Studio General Thread: Spriting and Banners go here!

[cim]

If someone wants to be super cool and make me a pretty bitchin avatar with some kind of Empoleon doing something awesome like eating a Petaya Berry and Surfing, I'd be your best friend forever.

This was my first recolor, what do you all think? I used a Mamoswine with Caterpie's colors.

I like it, but I think that the yellow orange around Caterpie's eyes should be in the first layer of Mamoswine's mask around its eyes and perhaps the red from Caterpie's horn should be the color of the second layer of the mask and the horns. But that's just the colors matching up. I think it's a very good recolor overall.

I will love you forever if anyone can make a set of four banners for me.

• An "Ubers" Banner featuring Garchomp
• An "OU" Banner featuring Metagross
• A "UU" Banner featuring Arcanine
• An "NU" Banner featuring Quagsire

They can read "Overused", "Underused" or "Never-used" if you feel that's look better. You fancy photoshop skills and such if you want. As you can probably tell, I want to open a trade thread. When / If I get around to it, I'll give you some credits.

Thanks. I tried to work out the color as best I could.

 

[UnhandledException]

Hey, just messed around which some splices and such, any comments would be appreciated.

I don't think I really like the head but idk.

Ugh... Gallade is so hard to recolour :<

Because he too wanted to be part Flying.

The background represents Fire/Water. Just if you didn't get it yet.

Expect lots more from me though D:

 

[Arb]

im pretty sure this is the right place to ask drawling related questions, if not im sorry :P

Anyway, for some unkwown reason my version of photoshop suddenly stoped working, rather than buy the whole thing again i downloaded gimp, it seems like it has all the same tools and stuff but im not really sure. So is gimp just as good as photoshop

working on it

 

[zomborger]

Anybody want a Solrock, I mean Slorock? lol This is my very first attempt.

 

[Nickscor]

Can someone make an avatar for me? With a Vulpix, Riolu, and possibly "Team Nickscor" on it?

 

[SilvanRaptor]

 

[Adamant Girl Jasmine]

May I have a signature with Gym leader Jasmine's HGSS art and an Ampharos on it?

 

[DragonBreath]

Those are really good, did you scratch them?

EDIT: May as well show everyone a new sprite:

 

[UnhandledException]

Well, didn't get comments on the previous set, but I'll just post these up anyway:

And these were done originally for a project involving Bidoof, but I left it midway for.... some reasons :p

I'll add more if I get any comments on them.

 

[SilvanRaptor]

Yes I did...its all I do...I'm not so good at fusions and other traditional spriting anymore...

 

[MegaKick]

Well, didn't get comments on the previous set, but I'll just post these up anyway:

I'm not very good at art, but they're pretty good. However, they all look like the parts, especielly the heads, were tacked on. Aggrons helmet, cress's head, plusle's ears, and swamperts heads all look like they were just c+ped

Okay, constructive critiscism.

Your recoloring is solid. That much you've mastered. It all looks solid except for the face and upper wing on the Togekiss/Plusle, which could be a little ldarker.

However, your fusions are very awkward. To be honest, the three using Bidoof as a base are the best, particularly the Raikou one. The main problem is that 99% of your fusion additions are tacked on-- it seems like you don't make any effort to make them blend seamlessly, which is the key to making good fusions.

Also, your sprites are made in chunks. That is to say, you used Aggron's entire head, Tyrannitar's entire body, and Aggron's legs, for one example. You should try making a combination of parts from each sprite for each body part. It makes a more convincing fusion. :)

Hope that helped.

 

[SilvanRaptor]

hey...any CC on my scratches?

 

[DragonBreath]

I've completely run out of ideas and creativity for sprites, so I'm going to ask for some requests :) I may do them quite slowly, but I'll do any requests!

 

[SilvanRaptor]

fusion, regigigas glailie steelix regirock torterra rhydon

 

[DragonBreath]

That was fun, although getting in Regigigas and Rhydon was very difficult. I think it looks good though:

Any more?

I'll definitely try to improve upon it. I'm not really experienced at all this, so yeah.

Thanks for the crits though, I'm sure I'll cover up the mistakes :)

EDIT: Is this any better?

 

[Munchin Munchlax]

Here are a few I made for a different forum...

 

[Fuzzberry]

hey...any CC on my scratches?

Your scratches are legit! They're sweet as all hell and carry a distinct style of your own. The only crit I could offer on your latest set, for example, is that the shading on the gray dome of the first-stage guy seems too regular. Unless it's not a dome and I'm misinterpreting it? =X

Keep up the good work.

Also I love your Party Ball idea. Is that your original thing?

EDIT: Is this any better?

You're welcome. =D

Significantly. That's a big step in the right direction! However, the wings don't match. The one farther away is placed at the wrong angle, though in the right place, and is thicker with differently-shaped feathers. Were they taken off of two different Pokemon or just some strange-ass bird?

 

[SilvanRaptor]

partyball is my own original...if you want one >.>

oh I have some fansprites that I'd like some CC on
