Hello

I recently got into sprite fusions (started last year with a couple fusions of my favs, recently started back up again with the 5th gen). I mainly do it for fun, so I'm not really great, but I consider myself at least half decent. Here's most of my work, in order of creation:

Kirikiken

First one in a while, I think he turned out pretty dang good.

Blasterra

Pretty straightforward. I like him, but the head might be a bit too flat on top, kinda hard for me to tell.

Teratron
Terratron.png

Probably has an excess of orange spots. Not too bad, considering it was my first time trying to continue actual patterns. Arcanine's tail, and the legs are Terakion's.

Manecroark

The face might be a little messed up since I tried to bring the hair forward for Manectric's face design. Legs are Lucario's, if you don't get that right away.

Golurk-Oh

Hadta fix up the left wing since Ho-Oh's head blocked out a lot of the bottom. I like the kind of angelic look the wings give him :) Beartic's arms btw, he's kinda "out there" so you might not recognize them.

Just fyi, I use MS paint. Nothing fancy. I'd appreciate a review of these guys, if anyone's willing. I would take requests by the way, might take an hour or so out of school. Again, nothing fancy, and no original sprites.
 
It's time you get some attention Shadowbane. (You didn't because we're all itching on the stuff of CAP1, sorry.)

Kirikiken
Kirikiken.png
It is "pretty dang good", but the Blaziken feet have a softer outline than its body. It's a little deep but one to look out for.
Blasterra
Blasterra.png
Huh? The inside horn has dark pixels all around it.The chin and the neck up there where it joins the shell also has this problem. And yeah...It's a bit flat at the top. Lovin' the tail, though.
Teratron
Terratron.png
The Arcanine tail's shading is off, the shadow should be at the bottom left. All pokemon sprites have their light source from the top right. The legs on the other hand blend in quite naturally with the body, also the spots are fine, just a little fuzzy.
Manecroark
Manecroark.png
Cool name, but yeah, the face looks pulled like dough ( you seem to know your errors very well, which is good) but the limbs are nicely and naturally fused.
Golurk-Oh

If there's something wrong with this, I can't see it. To me, this is great. Random remark: Ho-lurk would be better ;J
Anyways, hello and welcome to the spriting gang. From what I see, you're doing great with your sprites. Keep it up, I hope to see more!

TO ENERGY STORM AND HIS TFFW:
Energy Storm, that is definitely the one design that most strongly demonstrates Intimidate. Also, your support art is the most unique and LOL-worthy. All the best to you and your design in the poll!

EDIT: It didn't make it :( aw well it's still cool.
 
Kirikiken

All is well, but perhaps if you darkened the outline of its legs.

Blasterra

The head is a bit flat, yes. The concept of it is sweet though! :D

Teratron

IMO, the tail just doesn't fit. The left leg (our right) is also protruding a bit past Heatrans head.

Manecroark

For a fusion, it still looks a bit too much like Zoroark.

I love this one! :D I lol every time I remember that he can learn fly. The only thing I see is that the legs could be adjusted more to flow into the waist-base.

Kudos to you koopo for the sprites! Hope to see ya' around.

Edit:800th post!
 
@ICC and ToastTyrant: Thanks a bunch guys :D I can see the outline problem with Kirikiken's legs, and...well, all the other corrections you had xP I'll keep 'em in mind. And don't worry about the wait, I passed the time doing a few requests on the B/W Social Board of GameFAQS. Speaking of which...

Scraftyman!
Scraftyman.png

My attempt at recoloring Scrafty as Superman. Took the palette from a GBA sprite.

Rotespeon
Rotespeon.png

Espeon possessed by Rotom, basically. Also my first work with Rotom, so the outline might not be too great.

The next two I made after my op, so I'll just stick em here and see how they fare.

Absolakazam
Absolakazam.png

Notice the Deoxys core? It just felt right for the empty chest piece :P Almost feels like he'd be Ice-typed, what with the cold colors and such.

Zangoozard
Zangoozard.png

Refitted Charizard tail and slightly shrunken Rampy head on my favorite non-evo of all time. I really hoped that what we now know as "Zoroark" was going to be an evo for him T_T
 
Scraftyman.png
I like it! Nothing wrong with it honestly. :D

Rotespeon.png
Like as well, although the outline, as you said, could be cleaned up a bit.

Absolakazam.png
Do you think we could see a copy without the mustache? The sprite behind it is good, but the mustache just kinda' gets in the way.

Zangoozard.png
It's well done, but the tail behind the head looks more like a massive birthday candle went awry (sorry if it sounds mean. :( Couldn't figure out the right words). Perhaps if you add it lower and coming from behind it's left (our right) side of the body.

Nice work over all! Jeez, I feel so old and lazy. I haven't done much spriting lately. XD

Edit: You may want to use a site like iaza.com to transparentize your sprites. Fill the background with lime green, load the sprite to iaza, hit "transparent" and click the green background, and you've got yourself a sprite all by itself! :D
 
Thanks again Toasty :D Hmm...yeah, I could easily remove the 'stache. Just always wanted to do something with it xP Maybe I could just use the smaller female mustache? Btw, the candle thing made me lol, I must admit I thought it was a little...warped I suppose is the word, but I kinda wrote it off as my eyes messing with me. N I was wondering how you guys do that! Thank you, I'll hafta remember that site.

No probs! :toast:

Hey, you have any suggestions/challenges for me to sprite? I want to try to get back into it. (starting tommorow though). Well, perhaps after me and Albino's battle.
 
An original and fun and awesome request

:pimp: Hello, Toast. Yes, I am always the one poking my nose everywhere and giving ridiculous requests.
:nerd: Quote GENESECT Dex entries :nerd:
"Over 300 million years ago, it was feared as the strongest of hunters. It has been modified by Team Plasma."
"This ancient bug Pokémon was altered by Team Plasma."
May you sprite Genesect as it was in its prehistoric days. Give it a typing and feel free to give it a name! :toast:

Shadowbane up there:
Yay more sprites! But my comments will be pretty much the same as Toast's so yeah. Anyway, good job! =)
 
Hmm...sad to say, that's not quite right, because remember a disguise means keeping the outline of the 'mon and making the inside look like the other pokemon in question, i.e. Diglett. So...The challenge in Ritter's request is that you must keep Reshiram's dragony body shape and make the inside resemble diglett.
Have a nice day.

No, not yet. Try what you can do with Genesect, it's fun!
Tips: A Bug/Fighting or Bug/Dragon.

I have a sort of particular avatar request. It is a poker king card with rayquaza on it. Its suit is diamonds, but green instead of red. The picture of Ray doesn't matter so much, as long as it looks like a card. I would really appreiate it (I know it's very specific) and would give the standard sig credits. Thanks in advance!
 
Some things I made, like...Two years ago...

This is actually pretty awesome. The only complaint I could make is that the face is rather...flat. Try shading closer to how the original Foretress sprite was.

3295702977_f3181d7155_m.jpg

This is really good too. Not exactly original, but still good. The left forearm should be a bit shaded at it's base. Also, the tip of the right scythe is missing its border.

You're actually pretty good, especially considering that (I'm assuming here) you were a beginner. I'd love to see more work from you, so keep it up! :D
 
Would anyone be able to explain how to use an animated avatar? I tried uploading an animated GIF of Empoleon from my computer, and tried through a URL, but it said that the file size was too large. Any tips?
