I appreciate C&C and if you want to use some ask me first and always give credit. I do use the right click eraser method, and plus there is no other method.

Yume Tsuki September 27th, 2008 9:56 AM

you shouldn't use the paint pallete.. some of these colors are eyeburning for some people

MaxxMan September 27th, 2008 10:00 AM

Okay I have somethings you should do.

1. Use a set color. Like green. then use several shades of that color.
2. SAVE IN .PNG PLEASE. The quality becomes MUCH better.

Renyui! September 27th, 2008 12:03 PM

Yes, do not use such fluoro colours... And save as png.

Tyrantrum September 27th, 2008 12:46 PM

Okay, how can someone mess up on a simple re-color? O.o
No-offense, but those weird palettes really kill my eyes. x_x

Buono! September 27th, 2008 1:20 PM

I think it'd be wise to look up some recolouring guides, but everyone has to start somewhere right?
Also, as said, save as .PNG, the quality is **** loads better. :D

Fox♠ September 27th, 2008 2:17 PM

Fabulous. I LOVE them.

I can see the artistic approach you took, these are deep. It is a shame no one else seems to realise that these are conveying soul stretching emotions.


Seriously though, these are pits. The colours are horrible, and at times you've just got two non related or complimentary colours and bunged them on together.

Glitter Stain September 27th, 2008 3:02 PM

They all lack shading. The ones that do have shading have darker shades where the lighter shades should be. The outlines aren't very good, either. I suggest you look for a recolor guide. I'd suggest just moving on to something more creative, but, hey, those aren't easy if you haven't mastered recoloring.

Lith September 27th, 2008 3:09 PM

Yes, these need work.
The Darkrai looks very similar to its Shiny Form....

An-chan September 27th, 2008 3:27 PM

Some of them are cool and I think the Gastly is kind of nice with its spooky colours and all, but hey, let's face it - those colours are hideous.

You shouldn't just put any colour in any place or you'll end up with recoulours that have no recognisable shades or patterns whatsoever. If you made them that way on purpose, I can understand that, because they do have a psychedelic feel to them, but you should try doing those more traditional recolours, too. It's just that these are a bit eyesore.

The best ones, I think, are Gastly, Giratina, Bidoof and Darkrai because you have maintained the shapes and shades with those, and I love the colours on Dialga although it looks a bit weird with no proper shadings. Oh, and the Bidoof's fine, too. Their colour pallette is an eyesore, but that can be intetional too, so I don't mind that.
Try to use colours of your own, not those from a ready pallette. Or do what I do and steal the pallette of another sprite to make your recolour! ;)

Snowfire September 27th, 2008 3:37 PM

Well, no offense, but these are...bad.
You need to add shading and fix up the outlines. Also try not to use the default colors in Paint. The colors look eyeburning.

Always save in PNG! Always! They will look much better if you do that.

Keep practicing and you'll get better! ^^

SethCullen September 27th, 2008 6:04 PM

well thanks for the options its just that i have been new to this. Giratina was my favorite to do and probably looks the best. thanks for all of this helping.

= GPR = September 27th, 2008 7:06 PM

Once was enough for the color comments, and the png. comments! Don't rag on the poor fella!



If you are using ms paint, which i'll assume you are since that what the colors look like, DOUBLE CLICK A COLOR IN THE PALLETTE TO CHANGE IT. The best way to change a color is to move the hue bar up or down on the color you want to change.

notice in the upper right corner, there's a pallette!
always make a pallette log on your pic so you can remember what color you used. then you can just eye dropper it later!

http://b.imagehost.org/0392/dropper_icon.png(dropper icon)http://b.imagehost.org/0647/pallette_sample.pngnotice in the upper right corner, there's a pallette!

NOw you should be able to do these recolors better! I would expect to see better stuff soon!

Dont get discouraged, and Keep Spriting!

pokemonhackgeek September 27th, 2008 8:05 PM

hey dont use paint palletes they hurt the eyes for some people and there not that good

pokemonhackgeek September 27th, 2008 8:42 PM

and yet you contunue to say they suck when your telling us to stop, wow you follow your one directions...

Glitter Stain September 27th, 2008 8:44 PM

By the way, I just noticed that some of these sites look like you just pressed "invert colors". That's not the proper way to invert a sprite. If you're interested, I can try and dig up an invert guide from somewhere.

= GPR = September 27th, 2008 9:36 PM

sorry guys... i just got a bit carried away there. i was reading through (since i do read though every post) and it was very anoying that they were all the same thing. i mean, we really only need to tell him once to save as png. it really gets anoying when we say the same stuff over and over, and the person is trying to fix there work, and they aren't getting any help because everyone's yelling at em for the same thing. i know how that goes, since i had to deal with it when i first started.

Again, i'm sorry if i offended anyone. I was just a bit hot under the collar.

And for SethCullen, i hope we haven't scared you with this episode! You'll get better with time, we all did!

Keep Spriting Everyone!

Clearly you didn't read the post above yours.

however this one nearly looks like a devamp
http://i416.photobucket.com/albums/pp250/SethCullen/Shinz.jpg only the pink makes it no devamp

That's not even remotely close to a devamp.Just because something is primarily neutral-colored doesn't make it a devamp. If that were the case, wouldn't that mean that Dewgong would always be a devamp? Devamps aren't just recoloring something black and white. Most RBY sprites weren't black and white anyway for that matter.

Yume Tsuki September 28th, 2008 6:19 AM

gah... D: youre picking me out my dream..

SethCullen September 28th, 2008 7:11 AM

uh.. i didnt invert any of the sprites. o_O

☆Patched☆ September 28th, 2008 7:17 AM

They look fine for a beginner. This is all I have to say:

Because you're recoloring, do not edit the actual shading of the original sprite.

Because it seems everyone is bugging you about PNG and the original paint pallettes, I think you might understand that. ^^;

Here are my tips:
For you, I'd take an official sprite, and another different official sprite, and just "exchange" the colors between the two sprites.

You should continue doing re-colors. The more the better! ;)

SethCullen September 28th, 2008 9:02 AM

Okay i will try to do that Electramite. Also ill post some new ones Soon :D

prinplup looks horrible.

Well, again, you've pretty much stripped the sprites of proper shading. The darker colors are supposed to be in the southeast with northwest being the lighter shades.

Prinplup just looks like a bunch of random shades of completely different colors.
