Just use the [ IMG ] tags and upload your pictures to some site. Imageshack and TinyPic are both good. Also, if you don't have any pictures to show, you shouldn't even be posting a thread here. Right now this place wreaks of "This is my awesome "sprite thread!" It has absolutely nothing in it, so I want you to sit there and keep anticipating the day when I finally post something here!"

What are we supposed to critique? That video's glare keeps me from being able to tell #ffffff from #000000.

What little shading there is... is all wrong. The brighter shades are supposed to be at the top left, not the bottom right. You are also using too much of the darker shade which makes it look two-dimensional.

You really need to work on drawing these scratches. They all look like they were completed very quickly. The outline is too thick or clumped in several places.

Then get better! So far all the sprites I see could be whipped up in less then 5 minutes. They lack shading, their outlines are shady, and their general shapes and ideas make no sense whatsoever. [/critique]

[DarkTails]

Try drawing them on paper first, then try to make the basic shapes on your computer.

[Tunaboy88]

I f i am correct you have used Paint to create all of these Fakemon?

[omany]

yeah i did i dont have any other programs ^^

[manomow]

Dude, I know my sprites are not good too, but still, you should look at spriting tutorials, and dont save in JPEG, PNG is your friend, PwNaGe.

[xxkaylabby]

they're okay.
keep practicing(:

[Tunaboy88]

well i dont mind that they were made on Paint but you have to save on PNG! because JPEG is just a bit to blury

[omany]

someone tell me where i can get a name changer as default

[omany]

Yay :D i bought a scanner and now i will scan them and i wish~ if you like it :D :D :D ^^

All of your sprites are pretty bad, and I can't say anything to soften what I'm trying to say. Your palettes, outlines, shading and concepts are all wrong. Just look at the original Pokémon sprites, and study them. I'd suggest starting out with fusions and recolors first, instead of scratches, to get to know how colors and outlines are chosen. Once you've realized how they've been made, then you can do the same.

[SytheXP]

Um, My honest opinion is that they arnt to good. Like others have stated you should learn some basics first. Don't rush into things, really good sprites can take hours and sometimes days or more. As for shading save some actual pokemon sprites to your computer and then use them as refrences for shading. At least your palletes arn't completely default paint palletes. You need to work on these more. With time, efort and practice they may end up looking good. Please don't take my post the wrong way its critique to hopefully help you get better at spriting.

There are some good programs you could use, photoshop you can use for your
sprites but any program is good, i would use gimp. It's pretty good and it's free
