The legs are curved a bit too much, and the hind legs seem to short compared to how low that part of the body is... you should make the pelvic area just a bit smaller, rather than make the legs longer, though.


edit: Wow, this post is the one hundredth in this thread! When did the number of replies get so high?

I jusr relised I accidently saved it in JPG :( I'll have to redo it.

Chesu June 8th, 2009 10:41 PM

What, the outline? It looks like it contains just two colors... black and white. It shouldn't have been damaged if it's so few colors.

Haz June 9th, 2009 2:22 AM

The outline was ruined but I fixed it :) I'm going to fix the posture and then colour it.

Thanks. This is a great tutorial!

Hey Chesu I finished my sprite. I changed it completly (well, only a bit) and I cheated a little bit by using other Pokemons parts. (see if you can guess which ones!!) ;)
Anyway, how do you think it looks?
I've also added some tiles I made there too. They're kind of sucky cause its my first try at making them. i can't remember why Sandslash and Shaymin are there for but anyway...

Chesu June 14th, 2009 2:13 AM

Looks like you used Shaymin and Sandslash as color references.

There are a few problems with your sprite... it really needs to be smoothed out around the edges, looks flat so needs more shading, and one of the arms is a lot bigger than the other.

Here's another trace-over I made that I think turned out pretty nicely:

Chesu June 21st, 2009 7:20 PM

Looks good! You should post the original image alongside, or at least link to it, for comparison. :D

While I'm here, I'd just like to apologize to... whoever it is that's been waiting for the backsprite tutorials. I have the first one a little more than halfway done, but I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on it lately. I hope to have it finished before too much longer.

Ty 101 June 22nd, 2009 5:43 AM

I'm patient.
Hope you get more time to work on it.

Conan Edogawa June 22nd, 2009 5:53 AM

Ok here's the link. ?I also have an idea for a new tutorial. How about techniques for shading things such as scales,fur,etc.

Chesu June 22nd, 2009 11:07 AM

ZephyrPlusle is actually working on a guest tutorial on that topic right now.

Conan Edogawa June 22nd, 2009 2:56 PM

Oh well I can't wait to see it! And also if you think it's necessary, a tutorial on a more advanced way of spriting with geometry or another technique would be nice.

Well, that was my very first result, using your amazing tutorial, but please, tell me what I could do to make it better.

It didn't turn out how I invisioned it at all. x)

Chesu June 25th, 2009 7:54 AM

You should round and touch up all of the outlines... and try using the the color palettes of existing Pokemon, it will make your sprite look more natural. I like the face!

Nyu~♥! June 25th, 2009 4:36 PM

Very nice tutorial.

I'll definately use it in the future.

Pokefreak437 June 25th, 2009 7:12 PM

Dude this tutorial helped a lot. I made a custom trainer and almagation (animated), but I'm new to the site and don't have enough posts to put up a URL >.>

Chesu June 25th, 2009 7:52 PM

Three Starter Pokemon I made. The Pig had a Cyndaquil's head (heavily edited) and Nuzleaf's Leaf as a tail. Stantler's legs. The bird Water thing is completely scratched. Try to guess what I did for the snake :O

Pokefreak437 June 25th, 2009 10:32 PM

I know some of the animations are a little choppy, but oh well.

durenloveanju June 26th, 2009 12:18 AM

I know I am not chesu, but I can say, you need a bit more shading, especially on that arm there...

Chesu July 7th, 2009 6:55 AM

More shading would help, as would smoothing out some of the edges. I like the design!

Thanks! I added more shading as well as smoothing edges. Take a look:

I made it kinda of big, is it possible to resize it to the size of Nidorino or something else?
