Honestly, I don't. It looks like you used default colors, and it's kind of hard on the eyes.

Mobile Tsk, I'm afraid Crossell is indeed right. You do sometimes have to edit the body a little bit. Now, if you edit the body a lot it might indeed stretch the boundaries of a revamp and become a heavy edit, but sometimes Nintendo messes up the anatomy, take the GSC Tyranitar for instance, it is much larger than intended. Therefore, some revampers slim it down.

I talked to Matt about this. Crosell is right, but only in terms of how things were long before I joined PC. Nowadays, a standard revamp just doesn't use any form of scratch spriting because it takes away from it being, well, a revamp.

Crosell October 3rd, 2008 3:29 PM

Now you see I'm right :P
Was it really neccasary to lower my reputation points for that ? hehe.

Huh...?

I never lowered your reputation. That would be dumb.

And according to Matt, we're both right. 8D

By the way, I like this one. It's just a bit... messy around the face, but it's nice.

Fox♠ October 3rd, 2008 3:35 PM

The whole argument was pointless, like I said, me and Cross refer to revamps how we knew them, the newer generation refer to them how they know them.

Also, fixed up Hammersmith a bit

Owh who did lower my rep then? It was not really nice. :(
I never said you where wrong in what you said, I just said it's better if you make some scratch edit's in some parts of a revamp because they look kinda weird sometimes.
And in a way you where right.
Yeah I know it sucks haha, I'm gonna remake it sooner or later, thanks for the comment though.

Foxhound, I still thinks it's Pillowshaded too much, because of the size of this sprite, it's difficult to shade it.
Just use a few pixels fot that lightest shade, and do not put it in the middle of your sprite.
but it is better then your previous version, so i think you know what i mean.
Keep it up!

Fox♠ October 3rd, 2008 3:43 PM

The apron is the issue, i was just checking on how the metal was shaping up :)

I feel I've nearly cracked it, what do you guys think?

Signomi is pretty much owning this contest.

Large pixel art is a completely different league than sprites. The only chance I see of a sprite winning is if large pixel art is held to a higher standard.

Fox♠ October 4th, 2008 4:23 AM

Just because Chrissie's entry is both huge and good, doesn't mean it will win.

I don't judge something based on size alone, if a Sprite or much smaller PA had the same amount of skill applied to it, I would view them both equally.

Signomi October 4th, 2008 4:48 AM

I agree, I decided to work hard on my entry and show off what I can do. It doesn't determine whether the contest is gone or not, part of the reason I participated was in hopes that there could be more competition spawning out of this contest, thus makes it more interesting. Let it be known, there is no limit to creativity.

Also, Emerald Ex, if you're reading this; I've read what you had to say in the other thread and I wouldn't mind you going in depth with your commentary. The shading style in my entry was actually free-styled, but I wouldn't mind knowing what I could do to tweak a few elements.

Ravecat October 4th, 2008 5:04 AM

Oh it's just the hair could look more like hair, and less like straw.

Signomi October 4th, 2008 5:50 AM

I edited a few textures out on the hair and brushed up a few pixels, how does it look now?

I'm excited for page 100.
It looks good Sig although Bill looks like he's not wearing anything. Took me a while to realize he was in a costume 0.0;;

Yume Tsuki October 4th, 2008 7:20 AM

i TRIED to remake the shading D: i did the outlines too... it seems that i can't manage to pick up that critism.. could you give me a example into pictures maybe then i understand what you mean :/

Involuntary Twitch October 4th, 2008 7:23 AM

I entered the contest, and I'd like c+c on my sprite. The outlines irk me (outlining and shading white things may be my bane) and the feet are sort of held awkwardly, but all in all I quite like it.

The style is fine. (although I agree, the outline could be better). The main thing that bothers me is that it doesn't look like the wings are attached to the back of the body, at all.

Yume Tsuki October 4th, 2008 7:31 AM

i entered with this demonic splice :P

My only qualm with the sprite is the feet. The back foot appears to be skinnier than the front foot, and I don't know how someone can keep themselves upright like that. It almost seems like the feet are arms, and it bothers me a bit they're legs.

Froslass, all that is is a C+P with a recolor. It's aesthetically pleasing, but it's incredibly basic. I'm surprised and a little disappointed you didn't push yourself harder than that.

I don't even find it aesthetically pleasing. It's pretty busy and the wings with nine tails is pretty disctracting.

Yume Tsuki October 4th, 2008 7:58 AM

i used 6 diffrent pokes for that sprite ._.' maybe i should pick a houndoom tail..

The wings are probably a bigger problem than the tail(s). Jolteon is sort of facing in two directions, but the wings are facing completely forward. Try to find wings that make sense on Jolteon. (And that aren't as big).

Yume Tsuki October 4th, 2008 8:34 AM

i tried to remake the wings.. but it turned out bad..

Thanks for the crits, NovaPirate and Mobile Tsk! :3 I fixed up the left wing (that was bothering me too) and I darkened the head outlines and put outline shading on places I forgot and, most importantly, I fixed up the legs and added rear claws so the feet look more like feet. Geez, I can't remember the last time I actually edited a sprite because of crit. xD; Thanks, though! I think I really improved it.

Side-by-side comparison:

As for crit so I'm more helpful: Forsslass, you can always try scratching. :3 I personally think it would be cool if you changed Jolteon's mane into something different, like maybe something close to Vaporeon's neckruff and blood-red, so it looks like bat webbing or something. Right now, though, it's just a demonic Jolteon with C+Ped parts of other Pokemon; not all that interesting. Maybe you don't need the wings at all? But if you do, go for smaller ones. Those ones are huge.

I still don't quite like the wings. I'm talking more around the tail. It looks like the wings are just sheets being hung over the sprite's body. Though, I do think the newer sprite is an improvement over the old one.

EDIT: Also, I'm starting to not like the feet so much. They're kind of small.
