Cool title, amirite?
Here we go again. I've lost count how many threads I've made, but hopefully I'll keep this one organized and what-not. Anyway, I guess I'd better start with an introduction. As you can see, my username is Retribution, although I've been Espeon~ and Superjub in the past, Superjub being the username I signed up with. I've had multiple sprite threads, and I believe I have improved, thanks to constructive criticism and many, many attempts. So yeah, enough about me. Behold my art (what? Someones gotta make it seem amazing. :P)

* "W" indicates it is a WIP/will be replaced with an improved sprite. I'll probably be completely revamping the layout soon.

Nice stuff! What about the Jellicent in the spoiler tag though, I don't see anything different about it? I might be overlooking it though.

Oh, the Jellicent in the big spoiler! :) It's an overshade, as in it has more shades. And thanks. :)

Also, I just noticed I messed up some of the font in the first post. Go me. >.<

Most of your work is impressive, I must say. Maybe that's why what drew my attention the most was this:
5134f2ed27312c16d3029551aca3a92d-d321dsy.png

I can't help but feel weird about the mugshot. The anatomy on the hands is rather out of place and I'm guessing the one-piece dress shouldn't have different shades on the polka-dots. The face is also a bit, uh, I don't know. But it still feels eerie. Maybe the nose, maybe the smile. And I'm wondering how this happened since your other sprites are all on a greater level.
The trainer sprite, OW and badge are all very well made, too.

Finally, the fakedex is swell, and the only one I would say needs a lot of improvement is Carcaron. Its tail swing as well as the overall pose make it look stiff like cardboard.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing more from you in the future. Good luck with your spriting!

Firstly, thanks for taking your time to post. :) It means a lot coming from you. :)

I agree with the mugshot. They are one of my weaknesses. Actually, I'd say trainer sprites are in general, but anyway... I'm fairly sure I have an updated version somewhere where some things are fixed, like the anatomy. I'll have a look for it in a bit. Anyway, I agree that it does look a bit unnatural. Well, maybe more than a bit, but... :P

As for the FakeDex, it's nice to know you like it, since, in my opinion, some of my ideas aren't the best. I've been revamping some of the sprites recently, and I migth add Carcaron to the list (although, funnily enough, I've revamped it pretty recently. XD) I'll try and think of a fearsome pose for it since it it a skelton dragon after all. ;D

I'm glad you like my work. It's probably a bad time to make a new thread, since I'm going back to school in less than 2 weeks, but I'll try and be as actiive as possible, so watch this space. ^^

EDIT: I've been messing around with the mugshot, and it's starting to look better, so hopefully I'll be able to shown an improved version soon. :)

I just have to say that I love the master sword and the caption next to it! I've commented on your other threads before, so I don't really have much else to say.

Hehe, thanks. :D I did it shortly before OoT 3D came out and I was in a very Zelda-y mood. XD

Also, I've updated the FakeDex, as well as the VS Sprite. :) For the FakeDex, I finished off the Snowman line, and revamped some of them. Amorial looks very strange when compared to its old look, although I think it looks more... realistic? :s But yeah, it's very different. As for the VS Sprite, I'm still not too keen on the left arm, but oh well. Hopefully it's an improvement. :) Also, I tried to make her look more childish to reflect her age and personality. Hopefully it shows. :)

Hi Retribution, your artwork looks amazing!

I especially like TADITTLE, MAGMUG, and the little snowman ^^

But there are some things that I whould edit:

1. The evolution of SLIGON looks a little weard, since the belly doesn't look round at all.

2. Also the closeup of your gymleader, (which I like better now by the way) has a
strange left arm. Because the upper arm is to short, it looks kind of cut off.

I dont want to sound like I know it better, because I don't, its just my opinion.
Again most of the other stuff looks amazing the rest "just" great.^^

I agree with you on both points, and I'll get that VS Sprite right if it kills me. XD I'll get to both of them soon, and thanks for the advice and compliments. :) It means a lot.

Did someone say update? ... No? Oh, well, I'm gonna anyway. :P

Majoras Mask pixel art and my current avatar. I shall tweak it at some point as it's a bit jagged at the moment.

master_sword_by_superjub-d3incfd.png
I updated the Master Sword pixel art for my signature, and because it was a tad blank.

Spoiler:
The latest FakeDex. Sadly, there aren't any new ones, but quite a few are revamped.

More revamps!!! :D I'm revamping the monster sprites. :)

EDIT: I hope I've fixed both problems.

Norina's new VS Sprite:

Hopefully a fixed Slygon evolution:

The remade slygon sprites still look a little weird because the way it's balanced makes it seem like it'll fall over. As it stands right now, the majority of its body weight isn't balanced over its legs (So the center of Mass isn't above anything that'll support it). I believe if you either stagger the legs, or move both of them forward, it'll look more natural.

As for the versus sprite, I did a few edits since that's a lot easier than trying to figure out how to describe it with words.

oCG93.png


I moved the arm slightly closer to the body in order to give her shoulder more of a definition (Unfortunately I'm on a touchpad right now, so I can't elongate the arm or anything). I also changed the face of the gal from a straight-ish line to...whatever that is so that you can see her cheeks. I would also move the entire head slightly to the right so it looks more like that head is connected via the base of the skull.

Hope that helps. :)

Yes, Slygon does have balance issues, and I was even tempted to do away with the legs completely, but I wanted the dragon to gradually get more limbs as it evolved. And moving the legs forward makes the tail look more unnatural, but if it actually looks like it won't topple over, then I guess it's the best thing to do. :)

As you can probably tell, the mugshot has given me hell, but I see exactly where you're coming from. I had to tweak it a bit as moving the head to the right made the neck look a bit detached, but here it is. :)
norina.png


Hopefully I won't be making anymore changes anytime soon! XD

10Update!
I redid Slygon's final evolution, based (quite obviously) on the Chinese dragon. I was going t add arms, but due to its slim body, I couldn't really. So yeah, let's just say it gave up its arms and legs to get more speed. XD


There are also quite a few black outlines I don't like, so I'll fix them soon. :)

Thanks. ^^
And I just checked out the thread mainly just to see if they ahd created theirs after mine and I wasn't actually copying them, and you're right, they do have similar titles. :P Oh well, I don't mind. As long as it's just the title that is similar, and they haven't got reposes of all my Fakemon, it's fine. XP That would be pretty spooky, actually. O-O

Wow! the SLYGON evo looks real good now.

That the Norina sprite gives you a hard time i can understand.
It is so difficult, to make the entire sprite look good. At least I can say that it has improved.
The right proportions are not easy to do, since they follow so strict principals.
There are still a couple of weard looking details, but it's nothing big so it looks well to me.

Sorry for such an unconstructive post, but there are always just little things that look
strange. So tiny that it's just not so easy to explain and it would have a rather small
effect, if at all, on the whole sprite.

I'm glad you like Slygon's evolution looks better now. :) I do too! ^^
As for the comments about the Norina Sprite, you don't need to apoIogise. At least it's not blatant SPAM, and I agree with you. :) know it's still not completely perfect, but I'd rather focus on new stuff for now. Maybe at some point in the future I'll try and improve it though. :D

Thanks for posting. :)

I won't let this thread die... again. XD

Here's a quick update. :)

I re-did Buttafrone (both the female and male).

And here's a PMD-style mugshot for tadittle. It looks a bit creepy. :P

I'll also be editing the fakedex in the first post with the Buttafrone update. :)

Okay, let's see...

The male Buttafrone has a very basic anatomy flaw: the main body is turning in another position from the one the head is looking, and at the same time the arms show no response to either stance. I hope you get what I mean.

...maybe not. Here, I'll draw you a sample:

10mrn1s.png

All it needs is a little placement fixing. Apart from that, I really like the sprite. Hm, maybe if you lessen the dithering in the dress (that's a dress, right? the dithering doesn't do much in clothes when they're that small)
The female Buttafrone is all right. It's abit funny to watch, actually.

The mugshot is really good. You caught the exact style of PMD and you transferred your sprite into it correctly. I think a few pixels in the eyes' green shadowing need to be sorted out, but that's about it. Pretty cool.

See you the next time you post new art!

First of all, thanks again for commenting. I appreciate it. :)

As for the male Buttafrone, I was aiming for it to look like it had its head turned, but I understand it looks a bit dodgy... quite a bit dodgy actually. :P Anyway, I think I fixed it a bit, although I still don't think it looks 100%. I also eased up on the dithering although I really like dithering. XP Also, it's meant to be a robe, but I know what you mean. :) Here it is...
buttafrone_updated_by_superjub-d49f4pb.png


And thanks about the female Buttafrone, I am quite proud of how it turned out too. :D

As for the mugshot, I'll check it out soon, but it's late here, and I'm thinking about going sleep. :s

Anyway, here is an evolution to Amorn. It doesn't have a name yet though. :S

Woah... 8 days. O-O Sorry guys for not being very active! :O

Anyway, update time. i redid the whole fakedex, adding in a few new ones. I am particulary proud of how I did the types. :D
Spoiler:


Finally, another trainer sprite. I haven't done one in aaages, so I thought I'd give it a go again. I'm fairly proud. XD There are probably some anatomy errors though. :P Here it is, the second Gym leader Arc! :D
