Doominic, those pillowsprites are awesome. So are the Daft Punk sprites.

I'm almost done with the Nidoran M line. Sorry for posting so late, it's been a busy week, haha.

Haha Mr. Suitman, nice Daft Punk sprites. :A

Anyway, I'm not big on pillow shading but I wanted to try some alternative shading methods. I think my favourite spriting style has always been that of the Mario RPG games for the GBA and DS, so I tried to emulate that in a pokemon sprite.

I redid the shading entirely/replaced colours and all that to make it more... bold? I figured Zuruzukin would work well because he's so cartoony looking, and his official sprite is so damn faded. I'm gonna do a few more but I'm not sure who.

Woah, this one looks like something that'd come out of one of the DS Mario RPG games!

Kirikizan in pillow form. I'm not too happy with the torso-blades or the wings, but there really isn't too much space to work with.

Still, I don't think it's too bad for a first try. Thoughts anyone?

Sorry if it's bad, but could someone critique it?
 
It looks good, MK! But the right (our right) hand/blade looks a bit flat. Are you sure you didn't skip a shade?

Also, at doominic, I sort of cheat when it comes to eyes. Since there isn't enough space to properly pillow, well, this is what I do.

For the colored part/iris: I usually just put the darkest shade as a base, then a lighter one in the middle. On the top part of the middle-shade, I do the lightest shade.
For the whites: I use white as the base and add a pixel or two of light gray on the side furthest from the iris. Hope this helps!

Also, I separated all my pillow sprites and will post them here soon, unless Crash is gonna post a thread soon.

EDIT: Sprites off the port bow! Separated all of them as well.

Not gonna do the Pokabu line, but I might do the Mijumaru line, no guarantees. I will do Victini for sure.
 
Wow kipp, those are great. I love the Venusaur line especially. Sorry I can't write many words on things like this, but they're really good imo.

I think the problem with Kirikizan was that I thought I was using too much of the darker grey, so changed the right blade into the lighter silver tone, and then forgot I'd done that when I did the left blade. I will change it, but I'd like to ask anyone which tone they prefer, the dark grey (on the left wing) or the lighter silver (on the right wing). Personally, as they're blades, they look nicer shiny, and there is a little too much grey for my liking there anyway.

Can I just check no-one has reserved the Alakazam line or the 4th Gen starters? If not, consider this a reservation for those and Kirikizan jr.

EDIT: Here's Alakazam:

I had to change the shading around the eyes to stop him from looking too rapey, but I'm happy.
 
Thanks about the starters. I'm proud of the Venusaur, haha.

I prefer the lighter arm definitely, just because it looks...well, more metallic.

I was going to do all the starters, but I changed my mind, so go ahead with the starters. C:

Also, here's Victini (the eyes are funny):

EDIT: Also-also here's Phione and Manaphy.

iaza13762061938500.gif
iaza13762095402600.gif


I had a Manaphy that was one shade lighter than that, but it looked very flat. Hopefully that looks alright? :>
 
I'm not one to criticise, but Phione's lineart looks ever so slightly dithery. Other than that they're great.

I'll get to Kirikizan in the morning, sorry :(
 
That's fine about Kirikizan. :>

What do you mean by dithery? I only changed the outline in places where the black was two or more layers so that it would look less sloppy, and I'm keeping the area around the eyes dark blue because it's technically not an outline.
 
All right guys, nice job in making all those pillows (especially kipp for splitting up all those sprites) Also: I am in the process of making a thread, so anticipate it.

Kipp: can you split plussle/minun, breloom/shroomish, and cubone/marowak.
ArticBlast: Can you remove the color splats from Banette?

OK, thread should be up soon, then I'll start making pillows instead of just clicking save.
 
Working on it right now. :>

EDIT: Done, also fixed a couple of minor shading mistakes on Breloom. Make sure that the outline around the eyes is dark too! Marowak also had a bit of outline that wasn't entirely black. Transparency issues as well since there was white in a few sprites that ended up transparent as well. Fixed that though. :> As a tip, fill in the white background with a color not present in the sprite (bright green usually works). Transparentize that on iaza instead of white.

Umm...why's it so dark? Perhaps use the lighter pallete of Erufuun instead of this dark one...it looks like the outlining of the eyes and the mouth have been changed as well.
 
Hi Guys!

As a guest i've been lurking this thread for ages, so i thought i would post my own sprites.......


...but i could be bothered to get PhotoBucket -_-

To see sprites, go to my profile. C+C wanted. Thanks! :)
 
th_Pozeipoed.png

I never put a sprite in this thread before, so...

Porogon2 Body, Azelf Gem, Politoed Antennae, & Recoloured with Mudkip Colours.
 
Can someone make a banner for like a CAM Metagame logo please?
Not sure what I'm talking about?
HERE
and
THERE

Ignore the word art in the group! Be creative! (which all of you are!)
...A techno or futuristic theme would be really cool!
Have at it!
 
I know it sounds complicated, but can anyone make me an avatar featuring Tyranitar shrouded in darkness with red eyes. Thanks in advance!!
