Awesome, except, that loincloth looks like.......

Raikizen · Sep 11, 2009

Well, I've finished three of my high end fusion projects requested via PM by one of my friends. I present to you, "Scizor Dex Sinnoh Starters!"

SDE: 8 - Siczepoleon

SDE: 9 - Scizernape

SDE: 10 - Scizoterra

Quick Quips: Scizepoleon was rather hard. I wanted to remain at two pokemon, but there was little fuseable content. I think he turned out average, however. Scizernape is my second favorite. More of him is scratch than actual sprite. I'm proud of him. Scizoterra is my favorite. I just love the way he came out.

Ryoku · Sep 11, 2009

I got bored reading a mythology book (can you tell by the sprite?), and decided to mess around with a sprite, which I haven't done in like 4 months. Anyways, heres a centaur Arceus. First one is just normal, second is with a shield thingy. I tried filling in the holes on the third one to see how it looked.

Things I need to work on after not touching paint for 4 months:
Probably tons of of shading and outline problems, need to give him a weapon, and I made him a bit too messy. I also want to do something to the body, but thats already a great pose for a centaur and I don't really want to change it :/ Anyways I don't think its too bad.

Raikizen · Sep 12, 2009

Well, here's my entry for the new WSC. I'd like some feedback, since it's my first ever repose and a lot of it was scratching. Shhhh but... I'm still not confident about my skills yet. ._.

I started up a new project, for anyone that would like one. I found a cool picture when surfing the net, and discovered it wouldn't be too hard to make custom ones. What I found was a custom Battle Scene. So, here's a little example of one I did that my friend requested. The dimensions and numbers are a bit off, though. -Points at the HP Value.- So, I'm going to work on that too. Any C+C on this would be appreciated too.

I'm going to work up a format too, in case anyone wants to request one. :3 I like to keep myself busy and these do just that.

Infiltrator · Sep 12, 2009

meh, one of my options for my entry for the WSC W4.

Wombat Sky Forme · Sep 12, 2009

And I made a front sprite (Will make others later)

Klahvuayt (Kla-vu-ate)
Ghost/Steel
65/135/65/105/70/125
Ability 1: Cloaking-When Klahvuayt is sent out, permanent fog comes into effect. Additionally, Klahvuayt is not effected by fog.
Ability 2: Fade Out-Moves with the "Never Miss" effect used on Klahvuayt have 90% accuracy.
Description: Klahvuayt lives in dark, wet places. It avoids confrontation at all costs, even with creatures far weaker than it. This is to evade discovery. One of its two tails is for fighting, the other for grasping. I spends its first 15 years training its fighting skills.

The art is there for reference. C+C the sprite, please. And the head has no shading because it's a ghost.

When making a scratch sprite don't EVER use the circle tool. also can you make it more 3D ? o.o

reydragk · Sep 12, 2009

A sprite for a prevo of the CAP pokemon Cyclohm, based on artwork by Cyzir Visheen, which was in turn inspired by Kenshinkae's art:

I used Jirachi for the pallete.

I disagree, I've found the circle tool to be useful for helping block out initial shapes. I would agree that it shouldn't be used for the final lines, however.

graves · Sep 12, 2009

Could someone make me pics like the ones here?

the Lucario/Indernape/Electavire,
but with: Regirock, Scizor, & Darkrai? thanks!
PM me!
EDIT: they need to fade to black.

Solstice · Sep 12, 2009

I use the circle tool to map out where my scratches important body parts are going to be roughly, but I don't use them for anything final.

Yeah, the circle tools could be used as a base to get a perfect circle.

Wombat Sky Forme · Sep 12, 2009

Well, I'm lazy.

New Avvy

Raikizen · Sep 12, 2009

I'm digging that new avi Wombat. Very nice.

Falgaia · Sep 12, 2009

Here is the art for my WSC entry. It is handrawn in 0.9 lead by me. I am going to be starting this sprite tomorrow.

C+C please, until then.

Lord Jesseus · Sep 12, 2009

EDIT: Updated sprite, see below.

Agaki · Sep 12, 2009

@Jesseus Shading is fine, but everything is in really odd proportion.
@XandZero2 Great artwork, you're going to have to be careful about losing some of the great detail when you shrink it down though.

Lord Jesseus · Sep 12, 2009

So, what exactly is our of proportion?

Agaki · Sep 13, 2009

It's eyes are too low and are a tad too close together and the tail kind of looks like another leg.

Lord Jesseus · Sep 13, 2009

Ah yeah, the eyes are bit too close together...
I don't really like that tail actually...
How's this:

God damnit, X, I was going to enter my fixed-up Dragonite scratch. Now you're going to give me a serious run for my money. T_T

It looks great, except his far leg. The perspective of the foot is wrong if I'm correct.

Wombat Sky Forme · Sep 13, 2009

Once again, I have no chance in WSC. Whatever, Tuff is always fun to sprite with. One of my favorite Pokes... My Avvy has my three faves.

EDIT: Yanma Dex

YDE 02: Yanbyss What we all fear... A giant bug that can swim and has a huge drill for a nose! This was pretty easy, they fit together well.

YDE 03: Yantail There wasn't much I could fuse on this... I still think it turned out right how I wanted it.

C+C Please

I really want to see it finished. It looks absolutely amazing.

They're both pretty darn good. Not much I can nitpick.

Sorry for being away for most of yesterday guys. I went over to my cousin's house because my grandma and other cousin were coming over.

We (my cousin, other cousin, brother, and I) played Halo 3 for like 5 hours.

Wombat Sky Forme · Sep 13, 2009

My first Banner:

Ken Sugimori drew the actual Pokemon... But I did everything else. Do I get full credit?

I was inspired by looking across this thread to try and start spriting.. this is my first attempt, and was done in paint, how do I make it better?

Where do you guys host your images? And what programme should I use?

You can make it better changing it back to it's original size.
