Just something I've been working on for about 20 minutes or so.

Sprite February 14th, 2007 2:59 PM

Here are some shadow Pokemon I've tried making. I think they look decent.

dreemxweever February 14th, 2007 3:31 PM

those vaporeon are very good recolors in general, but might i suggest using lighter colors, otherwise theres no reason to detail them.
you really like the eevee evo. line, dont you? ive seen some of your posts before

in other news: i found quite an amusing picture on the net today.. i dont know if it really follows the theme were all going on right now, but still.. here:

Thanks, and yes I do. =)
I use the colors that someone posted on Serebii.net for beginning spriters. It was a tutorial. Anyways, here is my most recent one:

EDIT: Funny pic!

Fox♠ February 14th, 2007 4:52 PM

My good lady, recolours are nothing more than a quick exercise, rating them is silly as to be honest, you've only being clicking the flood fill tool over others work =/ I'm positive you can do better than that ^_^

Dream, that's very inappropriate, not only is it offensive to the late, great Crocodile hunter, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Well, I guess it does have a sprite in it, but none the less, very inappropriate.

Anyone got any further ideas on the duel idea?

I need to go back and read what was said on that. I think I missed a large portion of the discussion. =\

Fox♠ February 14th, 2007 5:08 PM

The bulk of it was people talking about how it should be hosted, judged etc.
I've being thinking about doing some isometric pixel art, anyone have any worthwhile tutorials/tips?

dreemxweever February 14th, 2007 5:09 PM

*sigh* i guess it was innapropriate, sorry about that folks. On the topic of spriting duels im still all for it, but your really going to need someone who will stay committed. i recomend kaku, if hes willing to take up the job.
once more i apologize for the crocodile pic.. shouldve posted that in a different thread
someone want to very simply explain what in god's name isometric pixel art is?
appriciated :)

Fox♠ February 14th, 2007 5:12 PM

I'd gladly make a main thread for it, I'm not sure how judging should be done though, maybe have 3 judges per duel? or leave it open to public vote?
What do you lot think?

Oh dear, Joe, Cowrie I'm sorry, I did post about your work, but we hit a lil downtime and it seems my post never went through ^^; Anyways Cowrie, love the use of colours, you made some pretty nice effects there. Joe, make the head less of a hexagon :p

dreemxweever February 14th, 2007 5:19 PM

i think there should be max 3 judges.. public voting would get hectic.. everyne has different opinions.. newbs VS people that have been here for a year or more in the pixel threads.
i dont see that turning out organized for some reason.
btw i volunteer to be a judge if 1 you think i have the skills and 2. you go with the three judges idea

Fox♠ February 14th, 2007 5:22 PM

We should probably have a different batch of judges each time, maybe a judge application thread? Judges would of course have to undergo a test to prove themselves capable.

dreemxweever February 14th, 2007 5:24 PM

yes, actually i like that idea more than mine. what would the tests entail though?

I got bored and did this in like 15 minutes, all scratch and I know it needs work so just tell me and I'll work on it.
Rock on!

Fox♠ February 14th, 2007 5:27 PM

Personally UF I quite like it, the fingers should probably be a little longer and the torso shading could use some work, as it looks cardboard like, but I think you have something there, keep up the good work!

Dream, the tests would only be to judge a few pieces of pixel work, depending on the reply, they become judges, or they don't.

dreemxweever February 14th, 2007 5:31 PM

Kaku:sounds like a pretty good idea to me, now would the results be "graded",if you will, on answer length and depth as well as accuracy? or just one of those two?

UF: i agree with kaku on mostly everything, it does look a bit flatish, so its gonna need some shading. if you were going for a real cartoonish look, then id say the fingers are fine, exept that they need a bit more shading.. i can barely tell you did any. also i advise you to make them longer to give them a human look if thats what you were going for. and for some reason, to me the torso looks a bit nudged to the right apart from the legs.

Domin-8 February 14th, 2007 5:37 PM

I have no clue how to shad that torso, it too me forever to figure out what to do, got any tips?
And yeah I can make the fingers longer I'll give it some sprucing up

dreemxweever February 14th, 2007 5:41 PM

well, im no professional spriter like Kaku, so hed be better at tips. but id say get a darker shade of the base green you used on his shirt and shade the opposite end of where the lights coming from, then take a look at it zoomed out (i hope youve been zoomed in detailing like this, though it isnt necesary) and just keep working till it looks slightly like... well someone's torso might look

Domin-8 February 14th, 2007 5:42 PM

Yeah I zoom in and out, I;m usually good at spriting like I made my own charaset for RPGMaker, but stuff like this isn't easy, but yeah I figured I needed another shade.

dreemxweever February 14th, 2007 5:45 PM

mhm, i can tell that wasnt easy at all. too me, scratch is harder than hell. but anyways.. yeah, if you look into a few pages ago, you'll see i posted a bit of my work, it was basicly a heavy edit of a FR/LG sprite and Kaku made it look amazing and im still working on some shading on it. Also, most of my actual pokemon work is in my own thread (The Weaver's Works) But keep working on your little rock sprite, i cant wait to see what he looks like when you're finished

Domin-8 February 14th, 2007 5:51 PM

Yeah i saw your sprite I was following you work on it, I tend to lurk more then I post but yeah, I can't wait to see the finished sprite either haha.

lol, imo the painter looks a little feminine! i think its the girly hair. or pose, but im not thats sure :x

still, rockin my socks, keept it up everyone.

If i were you, dreemxweever. id get rid of that picture from your post.
its very offensive and some poeple might get upset. :s i can tell you, i cant see very much funny in it.

AJUST February 15th, 2007 4:25 AM

Hey I've been doing alot of spriting lately.... but I don't want to post most of 'em, since I'm planning a comic...

anyway, here's a sprite I did just to keep up my skillz...
:P

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3862/yugixdmy8.png

I did Spongebob and Patrick too, but I seem to have left them at home (working at an internet cafe.)

Fox♠ February 15th, 2007 9:58 AM

Jake: The hat for the artist's OW looks very flat and well, needs depth, Firebreather looks perfect except for the fact his hat's a little too big. The fakemon overworld is a little too small, it seems awful blocky too.

AJUST: It looks very nice, although the hair is a little too blocky, also you should use a lighter black.

dreemxweever February 15th, 2007 1:22 PM

K everyone... I have a new sprite... who still has no name :)

yess, he needs a load of work. comments?

[NovaPirate] February 15th, 2007 1:29 PM

The only problem I have is the shading on the cape. The darker area is veryy odd looking, and the highlights make it look plastic.

dreemxweever February 15th, 2007 1:35 PM

yeah, i could not figure the capre out.. it was a pain in the neck just to do that.. ahh well i shall work on it tonight and be back tomorrow with a new one.

Alright, I cahnged up the color of the pants, they seemed to be too bright. Also, Added another shade of green and tried to fix that chest, but still haveing trouble.

Samson February 15th, 2007 2:38 PM

o_o jake, awesome as always! i don't know much about overworld spriting, but you are really improving. i'm not sure if you saw my post at Acanthite forums, but if you did, i meant it! your trainer sprites are almost flawless... the artist needs some darker outlining and lighter shading for the right arm (our left), and some darker outlining for the apron. can't wait to see more ^.^

ajust: very nice. i don't like yugioh but those overworlds are real neat. and as somebody previously mentioned, there's too much black. it's not that there IS too much black, but it's too dark of a black. you may want to look at a standard overworld and you'll see that the black is more of a dark greyish shade.

Fox♠ February 15th, 2007 4:57 PM

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/matt-crowe/uf.png

There ya go UF, I pointed out the main problems for ya, fix those up and it should be awesome.

Dream, I'm liking it, you've definitely improved since I first started giving you crit, keep it up ^_^b

It was a gramatic improvement over the first one. With Kaku's help it should look really good. XD

I already posted this in my MegaDex thread, but I was just looking for some extra feedback on this. Just a random Horsea sprite I decided to do. I was experimenting with a different style with a smaller color palette and more dithering.

About the OWs for Vircalf, I messed up on the outline. I forgot that only Poke'mon with dark blue, grey, and black are supposed to have black outlines. The rest just get a very dark color of there lightest color. And Samson, yes I did. Thanks :D.
Neo: There all nice, but the Danny Phantom sprites seems to not have any outline in some areas, but good for a scratch

I liked that. I`t looks like a Machop`s cousin =)

[NovaPirate] February 16th, 2007 8:16 AM

There hasn't been a good scratch sprite in her for a while. Like, completely and utterly scratch, or a mass heavy edit poke'mon (not trainer) sprite. Not sure what it is, though. It's very good, the gray/silver goes well with the green, and the shadings pretty much perfect, I don't knw abou anyne else, but I think it is an exceptional sprite.

dreemxweever February 16th, 2007 8:57 AM

mmk.. i kind of trie remaking him with the cape.. it still looks horrible, so any tips?

yeah, personal veiw is make the shading flow more that it did previously, beacuse the cape is flapping, think where the second highest point comes up after the main one, and add a small highlight there too.
maybe, faling that add an area of shade where it dips in the wind.id show you, but i think youll get more satisfaction working it out and doing it yourself. :3 keep it up!

Domin-8 February 16th, 2007 9:38 AM

Ok, did what Kaku said to do, and I must say, this looks as good as I can possibly make it at the moment.

not so sure it looks any better, i just cant get the shading down

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l184/dreemxweever/trainer4-2.png


Tyler-Chan please dont work on others sprites without their consent, i'm trying to get this down by myself, you can give me criticism and pointers, not do it for me. then there would be no point in working on it, would there?

EDIT: *sigh* here we go again, i actually think this one looks better than the rest, i tried the shading you were talking about aviator

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l184/dreemxweever/trainer4-3.png

Domin-8 February 16th, 2007 10:23 AM

Is it just me, or does your sprite have some white pixels around it? It is sorta bothering me.
But your sprite looks better, you got the fold shading down, very nice.

heehee.. Aviator.. no-ones called me aviator before-^_^ heheheh<3
AHEM.. annnyway.....
lol, much better, huge improvement, 'waii!!!!
but, if ya look, youve got that patch of grey between the two areas of shading.
see where the line goes down? on the underside of the bottom of the cape? thats the dip, so there would be a shadow cast from the tippty bit up top down into that, so my advice to you, is either, tone on some highlights VERY VERY gently. or carry the shadow out a teeny weeny bit more, with some dither.
but not too much,
fantastic job, its awesome to watch your improvements!!!
think about it, now that youve got this down, youll be able to shade folds like this all the time! awesome job!

dreemxweaver: Next time, please remember that you can not double post here - the edit button is there for a reason.

And on a similar note, I must say that you've been improving a fair bit each time you've posted. Keep it up.

Samson: I've been meaning to ask you how you draw your designs. Do you use MSPaint or Photoshop, or do you scan sketches onto your PC and work from there? Or do you even use a tablet?

Thanks a lot aviator :P, yeah, ill work on the teeny details you mentioned. ill have it probably later today (today for me at least, its 4:30, idk what time it is by you).

Amachi- woah, i double posted? i didnt even realize that, either way i apologize. it couldve been the gosh darn slowness of my computer, but still, sorry about that. And thanks for the comment.

umm i just draw them on paper, and sprite them with the Pencil tool on Photoshop.

It's okay, but the overall look needs to be refurbished. The shape is odd, but with a little work, that can be easily fixed.

It kind of looks like a green Snorlax. So I call it Goblax.

[NovaPirate] February 16th, 2007 8:12 PM

Okay, first things first. It's just (or looks like) Two mcircles drawn by the elipse tool in Paint/ It has bad shading, if any at all, and the anatomy is odd, as well as the arms aren't connected to the body, there is a line between the body and the arm.
Nice try though :)

AJUST February 17th, 2007 1:02 AM

Hey guys, thanks for the comments on the yugi sprites. (not much of a fan of yugi-oh either.)

Here're Spongebob and Patrick.

http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6822/spongebobpatrickxdye8.png

Oh, about theose blackness issues, I rly dislike the grey-ness of the black used in the poke-games, so I try to give my sprites a bit mor contrast, also, I develop my sprites on a medium-lightness green background*, to ensure that I dont make them too light or dark, since black edges on white backgrounds can make it look kinda biased-ly black.
>I think more people should do this!
*The bgs in pokemon maps arent pure-white, or that light, they're kinda semi-toned.

强有力 February 17th, 2007 3:09 AM

Ajust and Jake may i use some of your overworlds in a comic please. I wanted to ask first so if i used them it wouldnt be sprite theft. I have some of Avatar's sprites that i'm allowed to use. I just find your overworlds great. And i know i couldnt do that. So please?

Death Rogers February 17th, 2007 3:59 AM

Samson gave me some sketches, and this is the first one.
Termine. I know there are no eyes yet, but what do you guys think so far?

Death Rogers February 17th, 2007 8:10 AM

Well, on the outline of the head, there shouldn't be black there. On brightly colored Pokemon, black should only be on the outmost outline.

dreemxweever February 17th, 2007 8:17 AM

i see a teensy problem with shading on the legs, even though theyre underneath the body, they still have a highlight, im not sure that works well. Also, maybe you should give it a more creative name? Just my opinion....
also, i think you should keep it with no eyes, if your looking for it to be a termite pokemon (termites dont have eyes.. i dont think.. i could be making that up *shrugs*)

Domin-8 February 17th, 2007 9:52 AM

Samson, gave me the name, I just sprited it.
I'll fix the legs now.

Samson February 17th, 2007 10:39 AM

XD it's a combination of termite + mine... working names i gave him to work with. also, that's why its legs are like that... like spikes on a mine. and black is NOT the enemy when spriting. i repeat, NOT the enemy XD.

i know i didn't mention this in the PM, but now that i see it, you may want to reconsider the shades of green. they're much too bright in comparison to the goldish yellow. try more of a greyish-green for the base green or you could try a different shade of yellow. the gold is what's really brightening it up more than it needs to be. also, for outlining, you always want a near-black shade, and a shade that is relatively dark that correlates with one of the main colors in the sprite. so you already have that near black shade, try a darker gold/brown to follow the black outlining. also, i looked at it more closely in paint, and i think you should also consider making it a little larger than it is.

Domin-8 February 17th, 2007 10:59 AM

Alright I'll work on it later, thenks for the tips.

EDIT:
Had a go at darkening it, it looks alot better now. Added eyes, and didn't use highlights on some of the legs, and now the marks don't too much like bulges

dreemxweever February 17th, 2007 1:11 PM

Aviator: I agree with Tyler-Chan, except might i suggest cleaning up the lines around the head that merge with the coat and such? it kind of gets confusing trying to tell which is which. Otherwise it looks really awesome.. It'll be sweet when it gets some color!

UF: Thermine.. hm.. *shrugs* better than some other mindless names i probably wouldve come up with :P. Yeah, i think it looks a load better with the darker shading as well as the new shading on the legs. Not sure if i like the eyes though.. doesnt look right to me for some reason.

Heavy edit of the bug trainer in D/P, obviously a baseball player. pants took forever to do.. tips?

dreemxweever February 17th, 2007 2:11 PM

its actually pretty good for a scratch map. maybe get the shading toned up and some outlines on the islands, but everything else is good

强有力 February 17th, 2007 2:19 PM

Don't you need 4 examples of work to make a thread? Anyway its a quite good map. I would give it 7/10. The small orange island thing puts me off a bit

Domin-8 February 17th, 2007 8:21 PM

Dream: The eyes were a bit hard, I couldn't figure out where to place the one on the right (our left).
But thanks man.

Your baseball player is awesome. But maybe instead of black being in between the arms, try a darker sahde of the white..well i assume it would be a gray haha. But yeah if you can do it with in color limits it would look better. Sadly I don't know the color limit of the D/P games.

EDIT:
This is supposed to be an electric rabbit, got the idea from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends or whatever that long title is. And yes I'm 17 still watching cartoons... can't break free when they give ya ideas.
Ok Back on topic.
Electric bunny as aforementioned. Mostly Scratch. Designed to have some marking on the back, but they didn't show up well, how should I fix that? Otherwise what do you guys and gals think

im NEVER spriting in photoshop again.
not entirely. i hated colouring in it. The fill bucket HATES me.
and i messed up the colour count.
and you cant tell what is head/hair/neckerchif/coat anymore TT_TT
normally i fix those kinda things when i colour.
but my tablet pens guna run outta battry power too.
it hates me.. *huggles it and it attempts to kill me off in a nasty way*

Unorignally Funny, do a back sprite! x3
if y'cant see whats on da back do a back sprite lololol....
or change the pose so its got itc back facing you, looking back over its shoulder or somthin~
thatd be what id do anyway~

dreemxweever, youve come a long way buddy ;~;<3
hahah. more<3 lololol... *should be shot, not in a good mood yet tryig to be happy TT_TT not worky*hmm the way the cape is makes his thigh look likda like a chickeny leg... but dude. x3 that sword made my day i tell yah. its bohahahhahaha!<3
and his hand.. *thinks of Ed going boobedobedo again* heheh>:E
lol, dude. the stuff on the wortorle shell is a neat touch~ caught my eye first time i looked.. might just be me being all : ooh BLUE SHINEY STOOF though.. <3 lol, theyre good fusions, buttry ta be more creative. REALLY hack up the pokemon and shove lotsa different parts and repose. youll improve so quickly. promise! :x i find swapping eyes can really change the overall look of the pokemon.

i circled the areas i think could do with a little fix.
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e262/Mazilwolf/trainer5.png
i know it looks liek a lot, but its only one or two pixels.
remember, in pixel art. EVERY pixel counts. :p

Domin-8 February 18th, 2007 7:35 AM

First off, Maz... when you try to be happy, you are a little wierd. Just a tad.

but anyway thanks for the tip. I may make a back sprite for ya guys. I'm gonna try and make the evo sometime today.

Death Rogers February 18th, 2007 8:19 AM

Thanks for the good ratings.

Here's another.

Yes, you do. But please report the post that needs to compliment the rules. :|

Anyway, I'll move this. Please show 4 examples of your spritework if you are to make a showcase thread.

I used a refrence, I'm a HUGE Less Than Jake fan, its a guy from one of their album covers, I looked at the image every now and then and just did it.

I might try colouring it now.

Alright, tell me how these look.
They are still a Work in Progress, but I need alittle help now.
The first is supposed to be a psychic mammal, not sure if I should call it a rat or something, maybe a beaver haha.

The second is supposed to be a scorpion. This one is kinda hard.

doesn't matter February 18th, 2007 12:18 PM

Aviator Maz: Gah! Again, excellent work there. The line art was impressive just by itself (it's so full of life and action). And then you went and coloured it in, making it look even more vibrant and alive than before. Keep it up!

Unoriginally Funny: Hmm, you always seem to draw your sprites quite small, y'know that? And while there's nothing wrong with, you'll just find it hard to show certain details as you've already stated.

Anywho, both of the designs seem fine. The mammalian one looks particularly impressive. The scorpion one is nice enough, but I think I'll have to wait until you give it some more detail, cause it's hard to imagine what it'll look like at the moment.

Anywho, here's something I drew a few days ago. There's a few things that I haven't drawn, but I've already shown it to a few people, but I just haven't gotten around to colouring it ... yet.

http://i16.*.com/2m4og40.png
IT'S XP-TAN!

And hair is just a pain in the rear end XD;;;

So yeah, c+c please :>

And in case anyone is wondering, yes she is very clothes. They're just skin-tight XD;;;;

They're both pretty good designs. Like Amachi said, your sprites tend to be really small, but they're still quite good usually. The scorpion's pose looks a little awkward with the left claw going back. I would change the claws to both be up in front of the face.

That's some darn good lineart there. My only complaint would be that the left hand is a little bit big and the right hand's fingers look kind of rubbery. Like I said though, it looks really good. You definitely showcased the fact that she's umm....well endowed. ;D

Didn't really get any c&c on this when I posted it last time. Completely scratch horsea...

Yeha I don't know why I do that. I guess if I were to do evos they would be bigger, it kinda amzes me i can put detail in to small sprites though haha.
I'll fix the claw, maybe then you will actually see the other legs. I'll get to finishing them tomorrow or sometime tonight after i get home from work.

doesn't matter February 18th, 2007 12:38 PM

Yeah, I hate hands too >.<;;

Thanks for that, I'll have to go back and touch them up.

And yeah, the Hosea is really impressive. You've drawn the body quite well, and then shaded it even more impressively, though I do believe that you have have used too
much dithering, since at times it makes the skin look rough and quite unsmooth (like on it's rear end XD).

The water looks good as well, especially with all them bubbles *pop*

Good work man.

Alright here is the psychic mammal.
Name= *-----*
Description= Eyes are not colored in because it is blind. It uses it's psychic abilities to see the world around it. Thus why that purple bit is near its head, showing that it is using it's abilities.
What do you guys think?
I'll finish the scorpion later, I'm probably doing an evo for this soon as well.

Belzeebub February 18th, 2007 1:08 PM

I think it is really good, but the purple thing that shows that it's using it's powers looks like hair to me. but other than that; lovely. :)

Good luck with the touch up, then.

Thanks, Ray. I was experimenting with a different style than I usually sprite in. I used a smaller color palette and tried to dither more to shade, so that's why it looks rough. Glad you like the water. That was kind of a last minute decision, and I was pretty happy with the outcome.

Looks pretty good. It's a tad too dark if you ask me, but still well done. Very good shading on this. I would have used the darkest color you outlined with a little more, but other than that no real complaints.

Fox♠ February 18th, 2007 3:58 PM

Personally UF, I'd add a shade for a final highlight, but meh, personal preferences I guess XD. The black over the feet is a little...bold? Anyways, I've noticed a massive improvement in your work as of late, keep it up!

You have a way to make it not look like that? I tried to make it look like static... it loooks better then i though it would.

What do you mean? Another shade brighter or another shade darker?
And i'll fix the feet. This is still alittle bit of a work in progress.

Thanks everyone, your comments have helped me improve. I hope to get that scorpion done.

I very, very rarely sprite in a pokemon style, I've only done it once or twice.

Death Rogers February 19th, 2007 12:05 PM

I'm sure you remember my Fakemon Rabira? I made a new version of it in D/P style.


http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/74/rabira2st5.png
In case you couldn't tell, I used Pikachu as a base for it.

I also made a pre-evolution for it, Bunniba.

Death Rogers... Did you use pichu for the other one?

Death Rogers February 19th, 2007 2:39 PM

Why, yes I did. It's not really that hard to figure out. BTW I got their ears from Plusle and Minun.

[NovaPirate] February 19th, 2007 3:16 PM

Wow. Pikachu is really obvious, they're not fakemon, they're just horrible edits/recolors.
Ihe ear colors look odd in my opinion, as well as it being just a recolor some parts aren't even shaded.
Try something harder, like actually adding parts, ears don't count, they don't affect shading and stuff of the like.

No need to be so sarcastic whilst replying =/

Personally, they're very basic, a massive improvement on your last attempt though. The design is lacking any real substance though, and you haven;t really done much other than recolour Pikachu / Pichu, then add Plusle/ Minun ears to them =/ Try making a big edit on them.

Astral, try using some niceties whilst commenting, there's no need for such negativity towards someone who's obviously looking for help, not to be bashed.

1: EVERYTHING is shaded. What do you think shading is?

2: Adding a part means putting a part on it that wasn't there before. Ears do count. Even if they didn't, I added a tail and teeth on Pikachu. What? Did you thing I took them from a Snorlax?

Next time you want to come in and bash my work, think out your insults before making a poopy-brains of yourself.


And Kaku, thank you for your suggestion. I will consider that in the future.

Fox♠ February 19th, 2007 4:11 PM

I think what Astral was trying to say was that the shading could be better, maybe try adding a final highlight? Just a suggestion.

dreemxweever February 19th, 2007 5:59 PM

DR, no reason to get hostel.. he was making a criticusm, i agree a rather harsh criticism.. but if you didnt want your art "insulted" then whats the point of doing it? insulting is bascily criticism in another form, even though it may seem hurtful.. there no need to get childish about it.
