Sorry, at least i didn't make the same mistake on the trainer card. Lol. BTW, i got the ice template off google images. They have some sweet templates in there. I'll let you in on a secret: HackMew's card is coming next. DON'T TELL!!

Warning: If you dont like blood or l4d series I advise you not to click the spoiler



Just want to show this l4d hand I made
The anatomy is obviously terrible but whaddya expect most of the zombie anatomy's in l4d are terrible too.
The hand is missing 2 fingers this time 8D

DarkTyranitar08 January 4th, 2010 5:32 PM

Nice work! It all looks good!

blackmoonflower January 4th, 2010 6:26 PM

This is just a generic dragon, not a pokemon, and is my second attempt at a scratch sprite. (I won't even show the first, it's that bad) I made it pixel by pixel. C&C please.

Jet Jathor January 6th, 2010 4:44 AM

Hey pplz, any more comments on my Eons or the water dragons i posted on page 1? I'm still all ears!

READ MY SIGNATURE AND PLEASE DO PM ME!!

betterthanyouatspriting January 6th, 2010 9:18 AM

558122_DG, your sprite needs more shading on the brown parts but the concept is great!

558122_DG January 6th, 2010 2:33 PM

yea i still need to work on shading haven't really figured that out yet.... any other comments :)

RedBaron474 January 7th, 2010 7:42 PM

Anyone got any comments on my sprite??

Jappio January 8th, 2010 11:58 AM

Well it's been awhile perhaps, but here is a new splice sheet. Some requests and contest entries on this one. Recently I've been going on a contest spree, entering most contests I see that I can.

RedBaron474 January 8th, 2010 1:29 PM

Well, since no one had anything to say on my previous sprite I posted, here is a Flareon Evolution and a Jolteon Evolution. (Vaporeon Evo under construction)

Flareon Evolution:

Jolteon Evolution: (No Backsprite Yet)

http://i48.*.com/1z5i14w.jpg

558122_DG January 8th, 2010 1:47 PM

I like the flareon one, but the jolteon needs that special zing to it :)

RedBaron474 January 8th, 2010 2:21 PM

Yeah your prolly right . . . The flareon does look better in my opinion too . . . :)

558122_DG January 9th, 2010 9:20 AM

yea the jolteon has a puny head, and looks more well, like a dog kinda thing....
but for inprovement with the flareon you should maybe change the face instead of splicing it, what i mean is like make him look eviler :D

http://i48.*.com/1zwmbv9.png

both are scratches pls rate :) yea i know about the shading....

Rockeymon's Tiles
 
Well I am starting to make tiles so I'll post them here
All Tiles/sprites are made by me.

World Map Tiles (fire red remix) (ie. Tiles you use to build a world map)


DON'T STEAL MY TILES/SPRITES JUST ASK

Glitch. January 9th, 2010 9:52 PM

personally i would rather use the default ones for the reason that they look a bit better than yours

rockeymon January 10th, 2010 12:17 PM

These are the first ones I have ever made

NiKaNoRoU January 12th, 2010 10:41 AM

I was thinking, maybe it's time for me to post some of my sprites 'in public', so that I can get flamed and stop thinking I'm good.

The following 4 are used in tittlescreens for several pokemon hacks (I'm not telling which, but you may find out...)

Crosell January 12th, 2010 11:35 AM

Why are the better spriters being ignored :p
@ jappio: Nice sprites.
I really like the amperos type change, it looks pretty well made, good colour choose aswell!
I think your sunflora ghost type, has to much dithering going on in the ghostly clouds.

@ NikaNorou: I dont think you will be flamed at for bad sprites, since there pretty good comared to other spriters.
That Giratina sprite, whats that white stuff, looks like it's stuck in it hhehe, very nice piece of pixel art though.

it's a cloud, as exists in the figurine. And I was joking, of course.

I've been reading Chesu's spriting tutorial and decided to try spriting my own trainer overworlds using paint.net and this is what I came with. Unfortunately, they look stiff when actually animated, especially the male trainer. This is my first time spriting overworlds so it would be nice if I could have some criticism on what I can do to improve these sprites.
Also, I'm not very good at shading, especially since I'm limited to 16 colors.

blackmoonflower January 12th, 2010 11:04 PM

Can I get some opinions on this? It's a fakemon I created from scratch.

Yume Tsuki January 13th, 2010 11:32 AM

I don't like the first one the outline is bobbly and it's back is unnatural straight. The second looks really disorganised with all those weird colours of outlining. The last one has straight legs.. D:

Chipdachimchar January 13th, 2010 11:08 PM

sorry im absolutely crap at spriting

DGexe January 13th, 2010 11:40 PM

When it comes to scratch, I'm pretty shoddy at it...

On the other hand, I fancy myself a decent slice-spriter. Point in case, my signature... I made it as soon as I could get my hands on a HG/SS sprite sheet. How does it look?

[As you can tell, the Haunter is a simple recolor-- it's mostly the trainer I'm wondering about]

She was just giving you constructive criticism. And your sprites do need some work in the areas specified in her post. I suggest taking a good look at each sprite focusing on the outline. You should notice where the outline looks choppy or to light.

You shouldn't get so worked up, I was only giving constructive critisism as Conan said.
But if you insist..

Must I go on? And don't you dare post this remade one as your own without crediting me..

It's up to you If you accept either c+c or not, if you do use it in your advantage to get better at spriting. If you go whining because you can't have critisism I would say you should give up.

For now, If you are planning on trying to become better it's the best to accept constructive crisism. Do something with it, it helps becoming better. Now quit whining about my critique.

Wrong.


If you edit other people's work for the sake of critique, then the guy has all the right to incorporate your edits to his work, or reject them, whenever you like it or not. It all comes down to this: It's his concept, and when you edit it, you're just adding to it, not making it yours.
He could credit you if he wanted, but he doesn't have to.

Keep this in mind when editing the works of others, and remember that for your edits to become helpful, you need to explain the changes you made to the sprite, and include the proper process, depending on the skill level of the person you're helping.

ps.to frosslass_maniac do u think the concept was good but the sprites werent

Yume Tsuki January 16th, 2010 1:28 AM

only the first evo looks too much like a charmander. On only has long legs, a flameless tail a longer neck and a diffrent head.

I'm not going to make any tutorials because there are enough to be found :x

Chipdachimchar January 16th, 2010 3:57 AM

so if i gave it flames down its back and it was a different colour it would look better

I really like that style, though Luigi's legs look a bit choppy without a dark background.

Well I'm planning on doing atleast bowser, Peach, a few enemies and a background, so i think i will end up doing Yoshi as well :)

Yeah, I agree about the legs, i'll see how they look on the background before I edit them too much. Thanks for the crits bro.

I call this one "IN THE NAME OF LOGOS"

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l208/xavier2000/PhotobucketUpld-2432.png

I started just moments ago.. That's the current progress. No references, and I limited myself to a peculiarily challenging pallete.

C&C may be unexpected, but gladly welcomed.

Remember to all hail Ms Paint.

Gary, the Magic Fairy January 17th, 2010 8:48 AM

Looks good so far, the only thing I kinda see is the highlight around the center pillar thing on the building. It makes it look a little.. jagged? I dunno.


Also, may I ask what the green & blue parts on the left are? It kinda seems like water, but the perspective for that seems weird without more shading. btw, I love that cliff thing under the building, how it falls off into nothing.

I'd love to see it after you finish, or at least get more done. Very interesting style and palette choice.

Crosell January 18th, 2010 7:24 AM

@-smash, very nice style you got there.
Very different, kinda hard to critisize for me, not really used to that sort of style.
And like you said, it's not finished yet, but it's going to the right direction.

Do you know Pixeljoint?
Many pixal artists go there, non pokemon related and stuff, depending what you like to sprite.
Best pixel-artist i've met on pixel joint.
It might be a better place to get art like that rated decently.

I really didnt feel like spriting since 2010 began, and still I feel empty and dont want to sprite....
No ideas, and it might be the age right now, Pokemon spriting, I might be abit to old for it...
But I'm sure I get some nice concepts sooner or later.
My latest sprite non pkemon related though.

I go there all the time, but im too lazy to make an account. I post my works on other similar pixel art forums though.

I would suggest adding more shading, and try to get rid of some of the black outline. The tail looks a bit odd... I think it's the bend in the tail, and the outline that is present there.

Isn't that was WIP means? Work... in progress? :P

Just one question about your current one: Is that meant to be a statue in front? As the colored clothing, etc, makes it look like a person.

-Smash January 23rd, 2010 1:15 AM

Yep. Similar to the Athenea statue, but not. The greek temple sort of makes the scale evident anyways.

The C64 pallete is pretty much a pain.. It's why Im mixing up colors everywhere.



Now for more pixelwork, I made a self-portrait while taking a break from the above scene, btw.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l208/xavier2000/PhotobucketUpld-835.png
It's like, 97.5 accurate.. I think.

Negative-Zero January 30th, 2010 2:38 PM

that is really good, and im not just saying that.



anyways here are some of my scratch sprites, not very good in my eyes, but id like to get some oppinions:

Yume Tsuki January 31st, 2010 12:29 AM

The fire starter has too straight legs. (durr painttool.. :/)

The skulls are looking to much at the one who's playing. It should look diagonal focusing on the foe. Same problem for your fat cat.

The grass snake is looking too sideway. It should also be placed diagonal. Same for that ball thing on legs and the Dinosaur.

I see you used the oval paint tool for the fishies. It just looks like a Fish who grows bigger and bigger. Getting a few more details. It fails in originality.

Generally you should look for a shading tutorial. The shading isn't really good.

what do you think of my trainer sprite in my avatar? It was an entirely original design in the first place, but then the HGSS sprites came about and silver had most of what I was looking for, so... mainly, how did I do on the torso?

I like Ret's sprites. Very nice, IMO.

sandeon - Try changing the image format you're saving in. To do this, use the drop-down box below the box you type the file name in when you go to save it.

Anyway, they're really good sprites, but unfortunately it seems Zoroa is... drunk. XD;; Seriously, you may want to work on the eyelids a bit - are they really blue? Anyway, Zoroark's sprite doesn't convey the 'monster fox' Pokémon effect that the sugi. art does - the arms look very flimsy and he's got this 'lolwat' expression on his face.

But I'm just being picky - real great job you've done there, Zephyr.

Windows 7's Paint is a complete failure. That's all I have to say.


So instead of getting the desired upgrade with a new laptop, it felt more like a downgrade in all aspects.. I ended up using the Windows XP version, ironically.

Nevertheless, my new sexy laptop pad seemed confortable enough to make me try it:

As for the majority of rule breakers (read - rom hackers) learn to actually do stuff yourself, the talented people here aren't just tools for your half arsed games.

Chibi Robo, I like your sprite! ^^ ...You've got a number of details wrong, though. I don't know if that was your intention, but I'd suggest consulting an official reference for the colors and the markings. Also, your method of spriting hair is sort of amorphous. Make sure to define the shape and shade accordingly.

Some of the details I just left out because it just made the sprite seem uglier and I didn't feel like messing with it at the time. I mostly did the zoroark sprite in my kind of style. Trying also to fit it in gba standards. I also need to really work on spriting hair textures XD
I probably wont be working on to fix the sprite but I do appreciate the constructive criticism, I might try applying that to some of my future sprites.

or if thats to small http://i47.*.com/dpajxj.jpg

Chipdachimchar February 16th, 2010 11:11 PM

save it as a png and if you did save as png its probably bigger than the png size limit
so just move the sprite in the corner of the page and shrink the white box on mspaint if thats what your using

hope i could help ;)

I'm relaitively new to this board, and what way to celebrate that then with a sprite

Here's my interpretation of Zoroark, to me his standing pose is too Lucario like, so I put him on all fours.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc290/deadlydisturbia123/zoroark-1.png

I'm not too satisfied with the shading, I feel that I've done it a little too much like the D/P shading which I dispise. Maybe one day I'll colour it a little better.

Also, random aggron sprite

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc290/deadlydisturbia123/agg-1.png

I know his horns are short, but I wanted to try fit him into the 80x80 grid...even though I blew it in the end with his tail.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc290/deadlydisturbia123/agg-1.png

I know his horns are short, but I wanted to try fit him into the 80x80 grid...even though I blew it in the end with his tail.

What idiotic modesty...seriously, your Zoroark is way better than the default one (pose), though a bit fat looking, but I don't mind. The shading is greatly placed, no outlining 'muffins', etc. Great job.

The aggron, now, the horns differ too little from the normal sprites to be criticized upon. Prolly, the reason you bent its head is because you made it look bigger, but couldn't fit a head in a normal position in an 80x80 dimension sprite. The only proportion error that I see is that the legs are bigger in contradiction to the head, taking the default Aggron in mind. No problem with the tail. But still a great sprite in terms of shading and outlines.

That's pretty good for a guy who claims to be new but joined on 2007.

Here's my interpretation of Zoroark, to me his standing pose is too Lucario like, so I put him on all fours.

Don't you go to PE2K, though, and've sprited there for yonks?

Anyway, I agree with NiK; you're being pretty modest, and you have no reason too!
That Zoroark sprite is outstanding; the pose is really menacing and I think you emulated the concept art relatively well.

As for the Aggron; someone must've whacked his head with a bus or something, because his head looks like it's going to fall off. The armour, however, is very impressive; kudos on that. I think the tail's OK, by the way.

Bulletangel February 18th, 2010 7:16 PM

haha yeah, I never said I was new to spriting, just new to these boards. And by 'new' I mean, I havent posted here much, or know much of anyone here. I joined ages ago and never really stuck around.

I agree on the legs, they are massive, and perhaps the reason his head looks ill-fitted. I was aiming for him to look as though he was charging. Utimately I did him to colour in, the colouring was lots of fun. I'm still unimpressed with the Zoroark, it's not really my style of shading. Thanks for the critique guys, it really helped

well none the less your sprite still looks great ;)

now here is my crappy sprite :D

he is the nameless-rock type :D

EDIT: if it wasn't obvious enough already he is not fully evolved ;)

going for chibi spriting again, 558122_DG? even though the size is close to a pre-evo's, the way you made it, it looks like it should be bigger...you're improving, though. Even though you still keep that 'blurry body' style. Still, uh, I would say that it's boring, color-wise. All brown, and just to avoid complete dullness, you put up a red tail up there. Shouldn't the hair be also red (at least)?

Yesh I've been studying chibi sprites XD

For some reason it look really big when i was spriting it, may cause of the zoom, your right the hair should be red, i was thinking make the hair rocky...
I stole the pallettes off some random rock picture on google, and the red was myself ;)

may I ask you to expand on the "blurry body", I don't exactly know what you mean :/

EDIT: just call me DG or DKG, those seem to be easier to type than the rest ;)

Okay, DG, by 'blurry', I mean that the shadow that you use creates the illusion that the body is tuffy, or at least fat. This mainly happens when you use many shadows on not-so-much-of-a-sized sprite. Here's an example:
http://i50.*.com/j959w9.png
The left one is normal, while the other one is the 'blurry' one. It's not a bad thing, but doesn't suit pokemon and their bodies, in general, except if they are made of a certain material that requires blurriness.

kk, I see what you mean, you think that the shading should be more straight, rite?

EDIT: the lighter color should be less used too?

Let's make a fast sprite (give CC if you want, but it was fast and simple) to ensure what you said.
http://i46.*.com/241vvjc.png
Here, I consider 4 shades of a color to be used on a body that doesn't have detail on it, but instead is plump. If that same sprite was thinner, it would have at least one less shade. It still matters on the material, though. I just mean that your lion didn't deserve 4 shades in such a small body. It's not lighter color, darker color, just limit the colors that you use. And use different colors for tainted concepts.

That makes much more sense, thanks a lot ;)
I made it have alot of colors cause when I finished it had 7 colours, which seemed really pathetic atm, I donno y :P


EDIT: tainted wabafet looks really tainted :o best I've seen since 1994 10/10

It's not suppose to be Pokémon like -_-

It looks really good chibi, although, I don't really think the purple is neccesary. The inside of the mouth i think would look better as that shade of red.
That's just my opinion though :P
It looks cool none the less, kinda reminds me of deep space :)
Sorry I couldn't give you any ideas on anything that needs fixing :[

well, now that you mention it i can see it wasn't supposed to be a pokemon, well in that case you've done a great job trying to make it look like it'll eat you ;)

TB Pro February 19th, 2010 5:33 PM

Okay so like, I made a backsprite for Zoroark. Keep in mind that I am not a very good spriter..xD
- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh290/Blazikendude/Zoroark.png
Yes, I realize some parts are iffy. Hair = incorrect shading, but I can't seem to shade it correctly, and settled for this. The arm = couldn't get it looking right, so I just bent it under his body. His face is too small, I realize, but it looked okay until I made the arm, and then I just accepted the sprite as final :P
Also, major credits goto SSJ4 Furatman. I used his sprite as a base for the pose.
- http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee324/SSJ4_Furatman/ZoroarkCustomBack.png
I also used the bottom ponytail from Zephyr+'s Zoroark sprite.

EDIT: I realize imma get critisized on the light source, so fire away :P

Oh man, this is great, especially on the head. One little fix on the legs though, so that the 3 legs on the left won't look much bigger than the right one, and it will be perfect. :3

No, the light source is correct, actually, but other things aren't.
First, the pose. It's looking at the right place, but even though someone else might consider this wrong, I would say that the face should be shown, at least a little. The rest is okay, though. The hair on the first frame look cooler, but what's with the dithering on the second frame? you could use a lighter red patch go out instead of dithering on that place. Plus, the arm should be fatter. I know you can do it, Jesse. :P

MAX, TO THINK THIS ORIGINATED FROM THAT SMALL BLOB YOU SHOWED ME AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME IS VERY HARD BECAUSE THIS IS SO SEXY. <3333

In all seriousness, "Wow". The shading on this piece of art is amazing. Heck, why am I telling you this; you're my tutor. XD

Anyway, good job, Max. It's amazing (but not a sprite; pixel art).

It's very nice.
Shading's perfect in every-single aspect.
Can't really say much more, theres nothing wrong with it.

I would say it's his best, and do you realise spriting is not just about pokemon.

It's kinda facing the wrong way too, I would improve the outline as well, there are too many straight lines in it. At least the shading on the shell is decent :)

It's not facing the wrong way, it's like that when you view it on the Pokemon Menu.

558122_DG February 20th, 2010 2:22 PM

On second examination it is facing the right way according to nika, However the positioning of the legs is very akward...

Chibi Robo February 21st, 2010 7:39 PM


Warning: Not pokemon sprites :>

Anyways I made a few soldier sprites I might animate them later but idk :/
Anyways didn't take very long maybe 30 - 45 minutes. It came out pretty well considering It didn't take very long. I would highly recommend for a pixel artist to critique these because I do feel that they are missing something.

Atomic Reactor February 21st, 2010 8:11 PM

Nice sprites Chibi haha.
As far as critique goes, just little things.
One more line on the helmet, to make it look a tad rounder (opinion though, looks fine right now)
The gun could use like, a line of a pixel, just to add the illusion of detail.
And then, the right side of the face. The pixel that goes inward right before the helmet, makes him look very pudgy haha. I would bring that to match the rest, then towards the bottom bring some of the pixels in more.... idk if I'm explaining clearly =/

Here
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x19/atomicreactor334/soldier.png
I editted the one on the left, hope you don't mind.
Again, just minor edits, the sprites are great. Just things I would have done if I made them ^^

very nice pokemon sprites. Like mentioned there is nothing wrong with them... However I don't like the 90 degree leg (on the left), I'm not sure if its supposed to be like that, i've never examined soldier before only pokemon and scary octopus.

Colour combination. I only really like the first and third one in that aspect - red doesn't seem to fit in for me. Two outline false pixels here, but Atomic Reactor fixed them. :)
Good job, what remains now is for you to find a use for them, huh?

Umm, I can't really critic the shading, the outline looks really nice and well done. However looking at the left leg I see 3 toes looking at the right leg I see 2. The face however is very nicely done ;)

The third toe is the 'palm heel', which is partially hidden, due to the foot stance.
