These are really nice revamps, and very in-tune with 3rd generation.
I'm definitely going to consider these sprites for our team's hack!
(with your given permission, of course.)

thanks very much for the comments! and yes, you can use them :)

and here's a minor update
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa148/Nicolas110795/Sprite%20album/animatepikachu.png
a minor adjustment to the silver pikachu and the crystal revamp of um... pikachu :D
can anyone animate this? animating this is much appreciated ^^

Well well well...

Have you been at work!

You've been turning out some amazing works lately! I still stand by my words that you are an up and coming awesome spriter! (better than myself, in my oppinion...and i don't think i'm too bad...)
Your revamps look great... you did them properly, reshaded, and the coloration looks great, along with the outlining.

Original Pika revamp:
There seems to be something wrong with this one though... the feet have a strange look to them, as if there is too much going on... they are also a bit pointy looking, like a duck... although i understand that you took them right off the original sprite. you maybe should go in and edit them to make them a bit bigger, and a bit more "round"... not neccesarily like circle round... but not as pointy... if i'm making any sense...

i think the other thing is the belly... it's a wee bit dark... i'm trying to picture the shading like that, but it seems as if it is rising up his belly to high. maybe lower the shadow line a bit...
Haunter looks great, i love the shading on the top of the head. the only thing i see there that could use some improvement is the shading under the mouth... those bright purple pixels look a bit strange... i don't think the light would shine there... would it?

sprinephy looks wonderful! it is quite beatuful! the thing that is throwing me off on this one is the black outlining along the back of such a soft color... it is too hard and distinct of a tone change... the black on the tan makes the sprite look "sharp", in the sense that it is going to be prominantly sticking out of any backgrounds and such... almost like an icon. i would recomend toning it down to a dark brown... and same with the outlining on the leaves, a dark-dark green would probalby do nicely...

the pixel over looks great! the shading is nicely done, along with the outlining...
as for the other fakemon... my only suggestion is to tone and shade the spikes coming out of his shell... they are still a bit flat looking, by flat i mean 2D... or else everything is looking great...

Keep up the great work Nicolas... i can't wait to see your next update!

Keep Spriting!

hey hey! thx a lot!
here's some of my answers to your um... opinions :3
Original Pikachu Revamp
Yellow:
yes, I spotted quite some few errors with that Pikachu
the belly is dark and the feet look duck-ish :D I'll redo that sprite okies?
Silver & Crystal:
just to add up, I cannot spot some errors here and there in these here sprites

Haunter
I actually added those bright purple pixels...
because of the light source, another thing is that Haunters mouth has some "W" thingees right? some are elevated and some are not... that may answer your question

Sprinephy
there is a solution to fix that sprite, is to remove all the black outlines and replace it with dark brown.... I used DJG's original palette to do this

The Fakemon
well, it's kinda hard doing this sprite and kinda worthwhile
maybe, I'll leave it as it is...for now

again, thx for the nice comments ^^

You bet! I'm glad to help!

As for pika, i get what you're saying...

haunter though, i don't think the light would hit those point parts of it's mouth...

sprinephy: the dark brown was what i was thinking, it should look better...

the fakemon: i still think you should shade the spikes a bit more...

Keep Spriting!

I still understand what your saying so there's still quite some sense in your comment ^^

---UPDATE---
So I'm still hooked up to the Paper styled pixel art, so I made a Mime Jr. pixel art
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa148/Nicolas110795/Sprite%20album/MimeJR.png
what bothers me is that the sprite looks like it's falling down :P

you could rotate him, put him behind mudkip, change his eyes to a scared look, and put one of those little fear drops up along side his head... pika would give him reason to fall down...hehe!

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa148/Nicolas110795/Sprite%20album/Squirtwig.png
it's Squirtwig

Nicolas May 8th, 2009 2:23 AM

Another addition to my splices (which BTW is not a subject from the poll) is another starter
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa148/Nicolas110795/Sprite%20album/Croagasaur.png

Another addition to my revamps and eeveelutions
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa148/Nicolas110795/Sprite%20album/Espeon.png
Espeon

BurstX May 9th, 2009 7:22 AM

im really likeing the espeon, the shading is very good, but somthing about the aipom seems amiss to me. maybe the hair tuff maybe the smile, not really sure.

destinedjagold May 9th, 2009 7:28 AM

Espeon looks really cute. :)
It's a really nice revamp. :)

may I ask permission to use it in Log if ever I will decide to replace the Ruby Espeon sprite?

Nicolas May 9th, 2009 7:35 AM

well well! haven't had any comments lately :D

the shading is based off the DP sprite and the smile is from the original sprite... but it also bothers me though that the smile is a bit to awkward

hey thx! and yes :)

here's another revamp of Espeon, the gold pose
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa148/Nicolas110795/Sprite%20album/Esp.png
hope you like it

= GPR = May 9th, 2009 10:49 PM

I like it very much, the new espeon sprite! I'm a big fan of your works!

The edited shading looks wonderful, as well as the outlining. The only real "problem"...i call it a problem sparingly since it's not really that big of a deal... is the white pixel on the gem's gleam. It would make more sense if it was moved like a pixel or two to the left, since the light would catch it there, and not in the middle. Yeah...i know, that's super nit-picky...sorry...

Besides that, it's wonderful! Keep up the great work Nicholas!

Keep Spriting!

destinedjagold May 9th, 2009 10:59 PM

that new Espeon revamp looks even cuter than before. <3

thanks a lot! yes, the white pixel is the gleam on espeon's gem
I've thought of that actually to move the gem to the left... it's not that nit-picky though :P

thanks... that's because I directly revamped Charmander... ya know, revamping the original parts and not taking some stuff from the FR/LG sprite...

note: now I revamp in D/P/P style....
