I require constructive criticism and SPPf is bad at giving it! (Uh, I'm working on the left one, by the way. The right one was an old unfinished work that I put alongside it for comparison purposes when posting elsewhere.) As you can see, it's mostly done except for the wings. I have zero...

I call them devamps for the sake of communication, but for all purposes, they're scratch. I've gotten rather obsessed with making them as of recent. Dialga was pretty hard. Oh, and all the stats are accurate, btw (given 100 EVs per stat, and the maximum IV of 15). Psst! Here are some...

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Hopefully I'll still have time to do more of these before school starts. =P Well, see...originally, since I was only doing Arceus for the sake of figuring out his bone structure, once I'd done one of each leg, I was able to understand it. After that, it was...

So I'm at my grandma's, on a limited internet connection, so while here I decided to do some artwork. I started with an Arceus, but quickly ran into problems considering his bizarre and unique anatomy. So out of nowhere, I started drawing his skeleton to hopefully get a better idea of how to...

I have a bit of a question about my troubles with getting a good Shaymin to use in Platinum as Sky Form... [Long story ahead. Skip to the last paragraph if it's tl:dr] Yesterday a friend and I went to Toys 'r Us to get our Shaymins and everything went well. I decided to test getting them...

If you could physically harm any of your characters, whom would it be and why? Weeeeelll, if ya wanna get technical, I'm already hurting them because I'm writing the story and I therefore cause a great deal of pain to them that is physical, because it is real to them in their world. >:3 But...

Are the icons recolored with the colors from the in-battle sprites? Well, either way, since I know the outline and shading would have to be edited quite a bit, they look nice, even if a simple effort The crabs could use some work. I'd give the limbs more form and darken the outlines in...

I have to say, that as far as pixel-overs go, that Flareon is really well done, imo. I find that too many pixel-overs that people do just have some sort of weird...fake quality to them, I can't explain it. Like even if the pose wasn't recognizable, it'd be obvious it was a pixel over. The...

With scratches, it's best to take things one step at a time, so while there is a long way to go with these, here are the main points: First off, outlining. As a result of noobs leaving squiggly black lines in their sprites, too many people tend to shy away from black altogether. But black is...

I love Polaryu's new design--the old one was always my least favorite of the three. I don't really mind the wing shading, but the wing structure does seem a bit odd, mostly because of how the bone from the elbow to the wrist joint is so much longer than the one from the shoulder to the elbow...

It's back! =O I became a spriter over three and a half years ago, but after getting bored with fusions and edits, I posted my first custom Fakemon sprite, Reynile: Everyone went crazy over it for reasons still unknown to me. He's been borrowed for more hacks, fangames, rpgs and fanfics than...

Alright, I get the part about the visible hind leg. But as far as where the light stops hitting...the front part of the mane, and the chest are areas where I can sort of see it...and if I lowered the shadow along its side, and from the mane overlapping, it might fix a few things. Edit: new...

Well, to be honest, it wasn't an afterthought at all, as I planned it out carefully--it just means I'm apparently not the greatest at visualizing things like that. And I dunno what you mean by random amounts...maybe you could give an example of how to go at it? This was the rough draft...

I hadn't done a photoshop work in quite a while, given my recent pixel art craze, so I decided to draw a Suicune after randomly getting inspiration while at work, and wanted to try out a new shading style. http://chibi-pika.deviantart.com/art/Suicune-92628102 Lineart drawn in MS One Note...

Base sprites is using an already existing Pokemon sprite, well...as a base to make a Fakemon from it, rather than from scratch. Hmm...two of the spikes are one behind the other on the top, and the third horn is coming out from the side...so...it's kind of both, unless I'mmissing something. :P...
