hmmm, im really liking the new colors for milodos, it makes the shading flow a lot better.

honestly you can add more and more shdaing to your lance sprite but its biggest flaw is the anatomy. his right arm looks really weird and the fact that your colors look so alike its really hard to tell where the bottom of the arm attaches, it also seems really fat compared to the other arm. no for the left arm.

not only is it to shart and skinny compared to the other arm but the hand seems weird to me, not really sure why it just does...


yea thats all i got, peace

The Original Darkwiz787 May 17th, 2009 2:50 PM

Ahem, I'm requesting Credit for my Trophy Gyrados... I did make the sprite. P.S. if you put it under the little legal thing at the bottom (Forgot what its called), put it as


Gyrados Trophy is copyright Darkwiz787, Doomed.&.dreaming and .|Dark|Wiz|.

All three because I dont know wich name ill be remembered by xD Also Im getting a name change tommorow or a few days sooo thats why .|Dark|wiz|. is there aswell.

Thanks in advance

even better, i put directly under the sprite!

Sorry about that! The credit got lost in the shuffle... due credit is given where it is owed... and you shall definitely recieve credit!

It should be there now!

Again, sorry about that... thanks again for letting me use that sprite! I still love it!

= GPR = May 18th, 2009 2:26 PM

BTW, thanks KageX. I'm taking your crit into account and am going to redo the arm... remember, this is my first scratched trainer... i'm not that good with people yet...

Anyhow, a little update: New Scratch & Recolor of scratch

Before I say anything else, what you've done here is great. Amazing, even. =3 I especially like Mr. Snorex and the Lance/Gyarados animation. Oh and the cockatoo. xDDD However, as for the fakemon, while some are alright, there are a bunch of factors that really need some fixing. It's hard to scratch sprite, I know. xD Especially when you don't even have a reference to look at. But, nevertheless, some of the designs (alone) are a little unoriginal and etchy. Humsaw, Sparkrust, and the ants for example, need a new fresh look. (If I have time, I'll make a Humsaw if you don't mind. xD) They look too 2Dish in some places and the shading is almost backwards (on Humsaw at least) Sparkrust is too big. xD Too much shading in there if we're talking about a potential fakemon. And on some of these, the anatomy is way off. When making a scratch, I've always found it helpful to look at a drawing of an animal or creature that the scratch most represents and an official sprite at the same time (for size, color, and shading references.) Overall, Lance is great, and everything in this collection you've made is fantastic. Keep up the great work!

Wowzer! Thanks!

You may do as you please with humsaw... i despise that sprite... it's has FAIL written all over it! As for the ants, they are very old, and have not been touched in more than half a year... i probably could go back and redo them... and sparkrust... that was just a shading experiment gone WRONG!!! I could probably go back and fix him too... although i think sparkrust is a lost hope since it isn't that original...

I think the ant's are original enough... well, at least torchant is... i know that their anatomy is WAY OFF... like i said, those were some of my first scratches... and i havent gone back to them...

As for looking at drawings, i don't have any of sparkrust or the ants... i made them up off the top of my mind in paint... but humsaw, i have some really rough skeches...

Thanks for the liking on my gyarados ani... I LUV it too... it was my VERY FIRST animation you know... ^_^

and Mr. Snorex... that's my teacher Mr. Snoreck... his eyes are really like that! One is higher than the other! I do exagerate it though...

Thanks anyways! Your responsiveness and encouragement is greatly appreciated! Also, good job on the crit!

SytheXP May 22nd, 2009 4:02 PM

Like the banette fools thing lol looks neat. Kinda scratchy but the concept is really great. Um quick question. Im struggling making GIF animations with gimp...... Any chance you use gimp and could walk me through it? If not its fine. Love your sprites and everything. And you are really helpful to the community.

= GPR = May 26th, 2009 5:17 PM

SytheXP... thanks for the comment, first off... it's greatly appreciated...

Secondly, thanks for the constructive criticism!

Thirdly, thanks for the pun... "it's kinda scratchy..." because it's a scratch! ^_^ No, i know what you mean... the shading is definitely a bit square, and the outline is a bit jagged as well... but still, thanks!

Anyhow, i'll talk to you elsewhere 'bout gif...

Anyhow, here is my May Pixel Art entry... i think it's wonderful... maybe a bit over done on the diveting... but i wanted to try something different...



Keep Spriting Folks!

SytheXP May 26th, 2009 10:28 PM

I LOVE IT 0.0 the shading looks good the only part that bothers me is one of the petals looks a little funny. Good luck...... ^_^ and NP about the comments. And I just noticed the pun =P lol

= GPR = May 27th, 2009 1:56 PM

OH NO! which petal? it must be repremanded immediately!

(edit: BTW thanks for the comment... ^_^)

SytheXP May 27th, 2009 7:40 PM

I hope you dont mind I edited it for you lol, well its only a portion to show you plz dont be mad at me. Also I circled the area so you can make the corrections you see fit, you may not even see it necessary but I made it a little bit more round.

Gyarados Chao

Keep Spriting!

SytheXP May 29th, 2009 11:58 PM

Fox deleted my last post, I thought it was constructive I guess I wasn't constructive enough. I hope this one is better lol. The chao looks nice. The shading is fairly near perfect however the anatomy seems off (I know its a chao and its supposed to be short and fat) but I think you should slim it up a little bit. As for your other work with the petal it looks great as I have mentioned countless times. The petal thing isn't to noticible Im just prone to finding small impurities and it seems a little un natural. Can't wait to see a revised version of it and what you have in store for us in the future.

= GPR = June 1st, 2009 7:35 AM

I'll do the chao later...

I made something new! I first started with girafarig's body... cut off the head... and scratched a new one... then i went in and redid the legs, so they weren't all knoby... then i scratched the mane and tail! I made my own shading... and voila! (there's two versions... and the gray mane ones are shinies...)

Rocinante (Wild Horse Pokemon)
Ground Type
http://g.imagehost.org/0234/Rocinante_4.pnghttp://g.imagehost.org/0233/Rocinante_3.pnghttp://g.imagehost.org/0927/Rocinante.pnghttp://g.imagehost.org/0796/Rocinante_2.png
Wild Rocinante roam in tight herds, keeping an eye out for one another.
These Pokemon are extremely loyal and will carry their trainer on their
back, no matter how far.

I also have once again redone Spinum's shading... this looks the best yet, in my opinnion...
http://g.imagehost.org/0350/Spinum.png

Jαcκςση June 1st, 2009 3:21 PM

Looks really nice! I think I prefer the lighter colored one. Shading is excellent! Maybe just the tail is a little, well awkward? It looks very strange. Anyway, keep it up!

GFA June 1st, 2009 4:21 PM

Rocinante doesn't really look like a Pokemon... It doesn't have any abilities. It's just like a horse. Try making it more unnatural.

Snorlax doesn't either... except his obsesive sleeping and eating... nor does bidoof... he's a beaver...not very wowing...

But no, it's all good ^_^

Rocinante is ground type, a fast one for that matter... you don't see to many fast ground types. he can learn a whole slew of ground type attacks, as well as many normal type, rock type and even a couple steel and dark ones...

He's solid, maybe not overly impressive, but he's solid... like a linoone or a raticate... he's pretty much just there to fill space in your pokedex... and to look pretty! ^_^

Thanks for the comments though HFI!

Jackson, how would you recomend me changing the tail? I am having a bit of difficulty with it... i like the pose, but i can't work the outlining on the far left, nor the shading in the back...

BTW, i made a quick edit... but i don't like the teeth...

Hmm I don't like spinum to much he just frightens me Id be scared to run into a wild one. Anyway I wanted to coment on Rocinante. I love the concept and the shading. However there are 2 well 3 problem areas for me. the first 2 are the front legs. They still appear knoby...... 3rd would be the tail. It needs to be rounded slightly. Shading is great and it is a nice original concept. I like it a lot. Still scared of Spinum though.

= GPR = June 3rd, 2009 7:03 AM

I'm noticing now that Rocinante's far right leg looks kinda crooked and broken... i'm gonna have to redo that... as for the tail... again... i'm not sure how to work that... i'm not sure what scytheXP means by rounding it... in the far rear? near the tip... or the butt? As for the legs... i can go back and fix them up... i'll smooth em out...

Thanks to everyone who posted on him!

A little joke i made...
Diglette!

I know, it's not that great... i made it in like ten minutes... i just thought everyone would get a kick out of it!

Take care everyone!

Keep Spriting!

SytheXP June 5th, 2009 6:31 PM

I ment the top tip of the tail it looks like it makes a triangle sorta, sorry that I wasn't clear lol. It probably needs to be brought down by 1 row of pixels and that should most likely fix that (Hope that was understandable)

XD

Anywhoo, that's actually really good, especially for a quickly made sprite. The shading, for the most part, makes sense, except for that first segment on the ground. It's shaped nicely, as well. I love the teeth. Teeth are hard to do, especially if you're doing that many at so many different angles.

I really don't know. Maybe just make it longer and skinnier like a real horse's tail? It looks like a bunch of short hair, that is really awkward.

Pogeygothaxed June 7th, 2009 2:32 PM

Wow, you put a lot of work into a lot of these. You The little details are easily noted.

Yeah, the teeth took some time... i'm not really a fan of the shading, but if you think it looks ok, besides the bottom of the first half, then you would probably know better...

It's being whipped around the other away, in a clockwise position... it's entirely natural... it is just outlined and shaded a bit awkwardly... Thanks for you critism though...

your shading is forever getting better GP, it looks really great. Does it have an element type?

yea, it's ground... has a high i.v. in speed...

thanks fmp...

GFA June 9th, 2009 7:07 PM

A bout the Horse of Ground type persuasion. Still, Bidoof is quite over exaggerated and Snorlax is Snorlax. I just think it would look a lot more Pokemon-esque if it had something like rock spikes jutting from it's hind legs or something like that. Detail wise, it looks pretty good. The shading of the butt looks weird with so much light though.

Oh. And I'm sorry about Cody. May he rest in peace.

= GPR = June 10th, 2009 5:49 PM

Okey dokey... redid rocinante's butt shading...

I may add more to the anatomy to make it look more "ground like"

SytheXP June 11th, 2009 2:12 PM

firtly i like how you edited the sprite all around it ooks better nice improvement. Secondly what happened to cody? And in advance Im sorry :(

= GPR = June 12th, 2009 4:11 AM

Thankyou scythe... i'm gonna go back and redo lance layer's sprite now... not to mention some other projects for other people...

DamianLeonhart June 13th, 2009 10:44 AM

Between the custom sprites here and the NASCAR sprites, you do an awesome job while spriting. Great work. :) I like everything about rocinante except it's tail. Mostly just because I don't get what the tail is supposed to be doing. As always keep up the great work.

= GPR = June 13th, 2009 11:09 AM

It's simple really... his tail is just whipping around towards the head...

it's just that it's poofy and big that there's a lot of strands... so the narrower part is kinda hidden behind the part by the butt...
http://g.imagehost.org/0604/rocinante_s_tail_explan.pngIt's really only an arching shape...

yay!!!!1its pretty good just i noticed your using more of an advanced style of shading try to use less dithering and more of the actual solid colors themselves. also dont rely so much on the gray that your using

= GPR = June 22nd, 2009 1:02 PM

Hm... like this? What do you mean by not relying on the grey as much? It's only four colors...

http://f.imagehost.org/0165/Cody_devamp.png I got rid of most of the diveting by the collar... but kept it by the feet b/c it looked better...

I like the contest entry a lot better then the plain sprite. It gives it more of a flair, and the bg colour really makes it stand out.

= GPR = June 26th, 2009 12:24 PM

Just some recolored El Caminos... which do you guys think is best?

#1 Blue
#2 Sky
#3 Ice
#4 yellow

Hmmm... Well uh... They all look good to me. Probably the first and last one, they look more realistic? Good jo on the shading btw. The onner wheel could be a bit rounder

= GPR = July 5th, 2009 10:26 PM

Thanks GFA... anyhow, some little pixel art works i made... were for june's contest, but never entered...

it's based off that picture in my sig...

I had different color variations b/c i didn't know which one looked better... i like the third row, second one the most...

What do you guys think?

Nina July 6th, 2009 12:47 PM

The first and second are too bright for my tastes, and for the third that white pops out just a bit too much. The fourth is the one I like the most as it's got contrast, but it's still unified.

= GPR = July 7th, 2009 5:55 PM

A little animation i made... unfortunately iaza only lets you make 50 frames... this one's a hundred...

It doesn't loop... so make sure you watch spoiler 1 before opening spoiler 2...




What do you guys think? BTW, i messed up on the eight frame... the eraser gets a bit skewed... but it's still natural looking...

Close the spoiler to reset it...

Thanks!

Keep Spriting!

This is one of my dream cars. It's officially the production car with the tallest tail fins ever produced! It's a beautiful car that owns the road, since it's wide as a boat!

My dream caddy is one of these in a cherry red laquer! Below i have the line art and the preliminery coloration...

I redid my old Hot Shot sprite to make him more GM brand... he's a chevy stockar now...

Anyhow, got rid of clumpies, redid face and some parts here and there...

...also included orgin form...

And for fun?

http://h.imagehost.org/0509/Hot_Shot_Mark_Martin.png

I made him in Mark Martin Colors!

GFA July 21st, 2009 4:18 PM

As always, Hot Shot look's good in Yellow. (Darn you Bumble Bee!) Anyway, I'm glad you redid it, the Stockar overworld like thing looks really plain though

The stock car ow is based off of my NASCAR sprites template... i just threw it in so people knew what he was supposed to be... the white temp is so i can just paint it up...

... and yes, he looks marvelous in yellow! >Hoping and praying for him to be TF3<

= GPR = July 22nd, 2009 7:19 PM

After much work... and time... i have finally created a new fakemon!

Spoiler:

Eidoleon
http://h.imagehost.org/0160/Eidoleon.gif

Lost Soul Pokemon
Ghost Type

Eidoleon are the spirits of long passed Eevees that had died in a tormented state.
These ghosts roam the world looking for someone to mend their souls.
It is said that these Pokemon cry tears of gold that evaporate on contact with air.


So what do you guys think? Yay? Nay? PLEASE GIVE GOOD CRIT... not just "I like it"... Please...

Keep Spriting Everyone!

*Disclaimer: I based my design slightly off a picture from benzophenone-4 on dA but this is entirely my own work.

Chesu July 22nd, 2009 8:00 PM

The outline is just a little bit jaggy... more importantly, where the neck meets the body is kind of lacking in definition. You should add shading to that area to better show how the neck is bending; use sprites with a similar pose as a reference, if you can find them.

everyting he said is what i was thinking, listen to him.
oh wait also i think you should changes the colors to make the shading look a little more difined. idk if that makes sence. haha.

bat003 July 23rd, 2009 11:16 AM

wow you may just have something there or to much. But dang keep it up and over the top!

<~F.M.P~> July 23rd, 2009 12:01 PM

Now that looks excellent. I really don't have much to say about the Fakemon you made. The Concept is great and It even moves 0_o Ha ha very nice. Oop one thing it needs Is a bit of black...like for instance It could use a bit of black for the front two legs right where they look like the split off...Sorry If that doesn't make to much sense.

Do you think i should use a fourth tone of the purple? Or just darken it and then highlight the necks natural curves with the middle tone?

And where does the outline look jaggy? Granted it's a supposed to look a bit ragged along the tail, feet and ears... that was the purpose...

I like the purple... although it's a bit overused for ghost pokemon... what color would you recomend?

Supportive as ever... THANKS!

I did animate it, but the final pose, the closed mouth one, is the regular sprite... as for the black, i can see what you mean, i think the dark purple outline isn't dark enough down there...

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO REPLIED! IT'S SOOO GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Alright, here is the revised version:
http://a.imagehost.org/0779/Eidoleon.pnghttp://a.imagehost.org/0618/Eidoleon_crimson.pnghttp://a.imagehost.org/0994/Eidoleon_ebony.pnghttp://a.imagehost.org/0826/Eidoleon_ore.pnghttp://a.imagehost.org/0247/Eidoleon_slate.png
Toxic, Crimson, Ebony, Slate, Marble

Redid the outline along the belly... it's smoother now and makes more sense. I also extended the arm's outline upward into the body. As for the shading, i redid the neck a bit, but am still unsure exactly how to "define it". Finally, i added some black along the chest, between the legs, and also darkened the outline on the feet a bit.

WHAT COLOR DO YOU GUYS THINK IS BEST? YOUR RESPONSE WILL DETERMINE!
Keep Spriting!

GFA July 24th, 2009 4:27 AM

Slate. The way the legs go out from the torso is way weird on the back, it might look more natural if it's legs were elongated. IDk really.

BurstX July 24th, 2009 5:33 AM

i really like Marble, but any of them would be a good choice.

Conan Edogawa July 24th, 2009 10:23 AM

I really like the Crimson and Ebony palettes. But the back right leg looks a little small. And in between the back two legs there is a random pixel. I don't know if you want it there or not but I thought I would say it. The concept is nice and the shading looks great. Good Job and I hope to see more.

IDK... i was thinking more or less, that he doesn't walk, so he really doesnt need the back legs... he floats around... he's a ghost... but like i said, IDK... if you think he needs longer legs, i could do that...

the back two look to short... you're the second person here to say that, and i've had other people say that as well... FOR SURE I'LL ENLONGATE THEM...

I will also reevaluate that random pixel... it was supposed to be the base of his tail...but it does look strange...

It's a fourway stalemate... the top two will be chosen; as primary and shiny...

I've been busy with college stuff all week... so i haven't had time to really sprite...

I did make this though... it's a "trainer card"... but before everyone starts freaking out, let me explain!

http://a.imagehost.org/0791/FIN.gif

- The entire background, border, and Lance Layer text is all SCRATCHED by me
- the lance layer walkie is made by me
- the rips are those i made long ago...

I figured that there's enough originality in this that it can constitute a spot in my thread...

It's funny, i've been trying to make this for so long now... but i could never get the positioning of the pokemon right... so they danced around...

This is really only a four frame animation...

Thanks for taking the time to look at my stuff!

Keep Spriting Folks!

BTW I AM NOT MASS PRODUCING THIS!!! A.K.A. NO REQUESTS!

A little something i whipped up in twenty or so minutes... it's one of my favorite cars ever, the 59 Cadillac Eldorado. I created it using a limited pallette... light red, dark red, light blue, dark blue, lite gray, medium gray, dark gray and black.

I liked the style of the caddy so much, i decided to make another one: a 67 Shelby GT500! (This one took almost an hour to make though...)

Limited Palette: Light slate, medium slate, dark slate, light red, dark red, light gray, medium gray, dark gray, black, light blue, medium blue

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 19th, 2009 8:52 AM

Don't know what you said about pallete, but that car is sexy. The far away tail fin looks like it isn't connected to the car, maybe you should make it more of a triangle

http://h.imagehost.org/0481/59_Caddy.png

So, i brought down the top line of the far fin by one pixel height... does it seem to fix it? I think it's better, but the angle makes it hard to be exact...

... And yes, it's VERY SEXY! That's why i love it soo much!

:t354:TG

The topic matter of the two threads are different enough that a second thread can be constituted to stand on it's own. This thread is just all my general work, while the NASCAR thread is it's own style and fleet. It's also a bit easier for me to organize, and they also load faster seperate than all together in one post. It would take an hour for my main post to open if it had to load all of those cars, and every other spirte i've posted... even now they both take a minute to fully load when i try to edit them: so mashed together, it would take a REALLY LONG TIME!

^_^

I also made a new one! A 1970 El Camino SS! My other other favorite car (besides the caddy and shelby). Used light red, medium red, light crimson, medium crimson, dark crimson, light gray, medium gray, dark gray, light black, dark black, light blue, medium blue. Took about 45 minutes on this one...
http://h.imagehost.org/0597/70_el_camino.png

Here's another version of the 70 El Camino SS. It's not just a recolor though... i redid the shading in the rear, especially on the tailgate.

Thankyou for the comment. What do love most?

Anyhow, newly done: Dodge Viper GTS-R. Colors: Light red, meduim red, dark red, light blue, medium blue, dark crimson, light gray, medium gray, dark gray, light black, dark black. Took about an hour to make this one... the shading was a pain... and the wheels weren't easy either... i was going for the wire spoked look.

http://h.imagehost.org/0076/07_Viper_GTS-R.png
My favorite yet!

What do you guys think?

Chesu September 24th, 2009 2:31 PM

I like the perspective on the El Camino sprite, but I have to say that I like the Viper more; it looks like something from an arcade game, like Out Run. If you made a few more angles and added tire animations, it could be used in a racing game! ...Or, at least an awesome animated profile image. I honestly don't see a single flaw on it.

Thankyou! I appreciate the honest to goodness crit here! But nothing wrong...? I'm quite pleased if you don't think there's nothing wrong with it... then again, i don't think so either, so it's pretty good. I was maybe a bit concearned with the shading on the windows... and maybe the wheels... but i still like them!

Thanks!

Here's a new one, btw... it's the Hot Wheels car Switchback!

The Doorslammer looks odd. It looks like its bend down the middle, kind of like a Bannana. I thin that could be fixed by straitening it out.

It gets wider near the rear fender, which i try to make by flaring out the back... also, it's a very low lying car with a chopped roof... i understand what you mean though... do you think that i got it close to Jun Imai's design? I tried...

I already made a transformer... Hot Rod/Shot... not sure which it is... make a white version, and a painted version!

THANKS EVERYONE! New ones coming soon!

GFA October 23rd, 2009 12:26 PM

Hmmm, then thats one funky car, the Doorslammer that is. I like the skyline, someone in my art was trying to paint it, it turned out to be an epic failure, but, it was still cool. Your BTW is looking a lot better, the sky's shading is fantastic. I don't really understand the mursa; though...

Gary, the Magic Fairy October 24th, 2009 11:04 AM

You really have quite a talent for cars. Most of them look very much like the real thing, and the shading is beautiful. The only thing I could think that might make them look better would be some outline shading, though you are doing quite well without it.

http://i.imagehost.org/0362/silhouette.png
I love the skyline. It's simple, but that's what makes it work. Nice color choices for the sky, btw.
