Recolours and Fusions Thread
Recently, there has been a surge in activity in the Pixel Art section, and by all means, this is great. More people means more activity, and it's always great to see new people trying out pixel art for the first time - brings back the memories.
Anyway, the deal is that if every new person makes a thread about the handful of sprites they've edited, then the threads that actually contain work that were made with effort and dedication, and therefore deserve attention, get overrun and ignored. So this thread is for all your recolours and fusions. Post them here, and only here, get them rated and criticised. Furthermore, anything like shadow, trophy, chao and so on are also to be posted in this thread. Hopefully this will also encourage you all to move away from this starting point and move on to more detailed and creative pixel art works. |
... Thank you so much for making this Amachi. One question, are shadow Pokemon recolours?
|
You're welcome, hahaha. Yeah, I was just about to add something about that sort of thing.
|
..Mind if I post my 46 Chao sprites later? lol...
|
I honestly find Recolors and fusions pointless...
You can't really judge them seeing they didn't really do anything. But at least this thread will sort some problems out. |
So, will our threads get closed if they only hold recolors/fusions?
|
@ShaySkymin: by all means, go ahead :)
@mangaroll: Uh, depends on my mood. I'll probably just merge them into this one, or close them if they have a lot of posts already. But if you've got other stuff in with them then I'll leave them be. |

Okay, should I edit out all my recolors/fusions out of my thread? |
No don't worry, you have other stuff in there, it's alright. Just post any new recolours or fusions here.

You know this might kill the spriters showcase/discussion thread. From what ive seen fusions/recolors are most of whats there!

Correct.
Anyway, a couple fusions. It's all I did last year... |

I don't really know how fusions are so low-level, but okay. |

Scratching parts, having to get the right shading and fixing it up, perhaps putting in three or more sprites as well. This is more difficult for beginners like me. Not all fusions are as easy as you're making them sound. |
I know that you're a beginner. That's why this thread is reserved for folks like you. Trust me, I've done them too, and they're much easier than drawing something completely from scratch.
|
I've tried scratching. Difficult. Very. I'm too embarrassed to put up my scratch sprite. . =_= |
Quote:
*cough cough* Ever watched Diggeh's sprites? those were always alot of scratchwork and less copy + paste work.. It depends on how many you copy + paste and scratch. Ah well this thread a good idea. :D |

An Alternative to the Sprite Recolours and Fusions Thread
I understand that you are trying to reduce clutter in the forum by creating a thread for recolors and fusions in the pixel art section, but I do not believe that a single thread is the best way to do this; I believe a sub-board would work better. First of all, many people do not look at the stickied threads when they first visit a particular board. Thus, you will still get the frequent recolor and fusion threads that you seek to avoid. However, you don't see rom hacks in the pixel art section. This is because people know to at least read the title of the board in which they are posting. Therefore, if you instead created a separate board for recolors and fusions, the number of threads relating to it in the pixel art section would be reduced much more effectively. In addition, I'm sure that you understand that, if a particular thread has a large number of pages, as the recolor and fusion thread will have, few people actually read through the entire thread. This means that the works of those who post their sprite on this thread will only be seen and critiqued by the few people who bother to read the entire thread, as well as give feedback on every person's sprites - virtually no one. If a sub-board is created instead, each user will still be allowed to have their own thread. And so, any user wishing to see or provide feedback on someone else's sprites will be able to do so without going through extensive effort, which would allow more people to do so. Consequently, the users posting their sprites would improve at a faster rate, allowing them to go from simple things, like recolors and fusions, to more difficult things, like scratching and fakemon. Overall, it is detrimental to the pixel art section of the forum to restrict the posting of individual recolor and fusion threads, and a sub-board would serve your intended purpose more effectively. Thank you for your time, and I hope to see action taken on this issue, or, at the very least, a reply to this post.

Quote:
They don't warrant their own sub forum either, this thread is sufficient enough. |
I agree Fox. I'm still kind of that way but soon enough I'll have my own thread with scratch sprites.
|
I'm not 100% sure on Amachi's stance over this, but if you have a showcase that's hugely varied (good deal of scratches, maybe a few revamps, some heavy edits) then i don't mind if you have a few fusions there for show, but i am talking like the odd one or two which you think really make the mark, and like I said, only in a showcase with an existing variety of work in it.
|
http://i42.*.com/2vv7ul5.gif The crystal looks flat on it's head.. if you did some shading there..
http://i39.*.com/6pm4ht.png Is this a fuse of devamps cause the shading quality is so bad. Further more i can see there was default white in it. (you probably moved it on the blue zone) You should've made the default white a bit darker white (but still looking white) http://i44.*.com/9hro28.png It seems the bottom has default black spaces. I don't know it belongs to the shading or the outlines. As shading you shouldn't use default black. If it's outline then it's to bold. If i look at the sprite's middle i see various red dots making it unnatural straight. http://i41.*.com/27y0npf.png Same critic as with the bottom is the sprite before for the horn. This guy has some weird black dots on it's body. The fins have default black outline. And the fin in the front is all closed with outline. The flame in it's neck looks flat and the tail too. The tail looks like it belong to a sprite hidden behind your sprite http://i40.*.com/23vyw6w.png Same critic as with the bottom is the sprite before for the horn. Also the flame again. The fin of it is cut off the scene same with the belly. The head doesn't fit the color of the whole body and has some weird lighting. http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/175.gif |
mmhhh galeon has an unnatural straight line.. o-O
further its nicely done ah well maybe if you scrachted the legs of that zapdos/togekiss mix backwards |
Okay so lemme get this straight, so I can't post any fusions or recolors even if it's hard (More than three pokemons) and I have scratched sprite in my thread? I still kinda not understand

Here's a sprite that took me forever and a day to complete. It is supposed to be Deku Link, here is the picture I sorts based it on: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y13/Croix28/DekuLink.jpg
Pokemon used: Machop's body and hands Alakazam's head, arms, and color Tropius's Bananas(hair) and chest(skirt) Victreebel's leaf(hat) Mr. Mimes legs Ok, so I couldn't get the hat to be extremely long, but other than that I think it's pretty good. |
SInce most of my sprites are in my thread, i'll just post the ones that are nOT in my thread.

OK.Maybye I Can't Shade Well But Take A Look

Conway With the recolors there is no need for reshading. Just pick a palette and match the shades. They aren't bad but mews tail needs some work.
|
recolors in my opinion are pointless unless they are revamps or devamps. However I love fusions b/c if 2 people fuse the same 2 pkmn theres still no telling wht youll get. And some of them look really great. I like a lot of the work in here. I may post some later. Atm Im working on loads of sprites so I can open my own sprite thread. Atm my current project is completing my Wes overworlds that I started long ago. (Working on the fishing and biking sprites atm......Biking sprite is annoying cause Its 100% custom). But after thats done Ima post all my fusions/Customs/Tilesets/Fakemon/ETC...

Attachment 46701 |
Can I make a suggestion here to make things a bit more organized? Make a rule that each person has to get 1 or 2 critiques before the next person can post their stuff. At this rate, everyone is just posting new stuff, and hardly anyone is getting critique.

But anyway... I actually like that Latibull, but the wings are a liitle awkward. |
http://www.pokecommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46697&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1242620019This is just a fusion of all hoenn legendary's heads.. They don't even blend very well.. This is just copy + past work.. You should've blended them much more. Giving them all the same color as for the whole body. And using lati's upside down is also very strange..
http://www.pokecommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46701&d=1242620889 This one is not bad maybe you could've fused more parts of latios on it? And here are some of mine: http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/6504/shaytom.png http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/4479/shayvee.png http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7503/eevotar.png |
@Froslass Maniac: Have you ever watched Power Rangers? It is upposed to be a Mega-Zord from that(I got a request for a Poke-zord, so that's what I did.)
Critique: The first sprite is really good, but there's something about it that I don't really like, but I don't know what it is...I love the second and third ones though, but there seems to be a lot of black in-between two of the legs on the second one. I am going to post my ignored sprite: http://www.pokecommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46667&stc=1&d=1242532717 Deku Link I used Machop's body and hands, Alakazam's head and arms, Tropius's Fruit(hair) and chest(skirt), Victreebel's leaf(hat), Mr. Mime's legs, and Roselia's flower. |

One thing to remember when fusing(or splicing, or whatever else you want to call it) is to replace all missing outlines, because all your sprites are missing some outlines.

Here are some of mine.. they didn't work out because of the format I saved them in. I couldn't put the pics in the post, so there should be an attachment.
Tyranimoth(This worked) Pidgeotto, Mespirit, Azelf, Tyranitar, Venomoth, Dragonite(tail) Ho-breon (My first, no tutorials nor practice)Umbreon, Vaporoen, Ho-oh Buttercuno(Weird) Articuno, Moltres, Butterfree, Flygon Diatina (Made this for my brother)Palkia, Giratina, Dialga, Lugia. I was going to include Frealigatr, though. |
=D Great!

Quote:
Most of Dialtina looks copy-pasted, especially Giratina's smoke. Try to make spliced parts fit better by scratching and adjusting shading. Tyranimoth has the same problems with copy-pasting on its tails and wings. Ho-breon is okay except for the wing, which has no shading on the white parts. Its left fin has an entirely black and jagged outline. It should have different shades, like the other fins, and be only one pixel thick. All in all, these really aren't too bad. :3 Keep practicing and I'm sure you'll get better. |

(Please note this is just constructive feedback, I'm not hating on anyone)
If I may state my personal opinion real quick here, I feel I don't "deserve to be in this forum at all" then. That's exactly how this thread makes me feel. I can't make my own fakemon or sprites or anything because I lack the talent. I do recolorings and frankensteining because it's fun to me, but apparently to show off my fun and have my own thread I have to be "better" than that. If I post my work here it'll only be seen by people until a new page starts in this thread, when everyone will automatically start looking at the new last page. I get critiqued by maybe two or three people, then nothing ever again unless I post my old work again and again as I make new ones. Then that's considered spam, so what am I supposed to do? Hope people read the first eighty seven pages to finally get to the one I'm on? I like this site a lot and I'm comfortable in many different subforums within it, but I feel here it's "talent or gtfo". You give those with talent what they deserve, yes, but for us without talent that just want to have some fun, you give a corner, a little box for us to all huddle in. I feel I'm not welcome at all in this subforum. I had intended to make a thread here showing off my frankensteins and taking requests. The challenge in it for me is to fuse what others want me to and with a color scheme they'd want, but apparently my level of a challenge isn't "good enough". It's like saying "if you're colorblind you can't drive"; people don't CHOOSE to be colorblind, they just are. And just because they don't see like the rest of us doesn't mean they're a bad driver, they just go about it a different way (memorizing what end of the light is what, memorizing sign shapes instead of colors, etc). Granted I can see merging threads to here if the person only has one or two, but what about that person on page 1 that has 40-something? What about me who has 19-ish and counting? Obviously if we make more than a handful we love doing it and do it often, thus need our own space. But if our opinions or suggestions as your community members don't matter, then I guess whatever we may say won't mean anything. If we can't be treated equal and have our own threads, I simply won't ever visit this subforum. |
Quote:
Lets say I spend 2 hours working on making a sprite from scratch, and then I decide to post it on my thread to get comments and criticism on it. Now, 5 minutes later, some random guy posts 27 recolors he did in those same 2 hours, and then gets three pages of comments on them, while I'm lucky to get one or two posts. Most even admit that they take no skill or effort, and take 2 or 3 minutes to do. Of course fusions take a little bit longer, and obviously some amount of skill, but.. most of the ones posted are mediocre and rushed. The problem is that people don't try anything new and challenging that deserves a thread for it to be praised. You admit yourself, that it doesn't take talent to make recolors or fusions. Then, why should you be treated the same as people who actually do have talent? If you want to have fun with the other "talentless" people, then I'm sure they'll post in this thread and comment on them. Or you could make friends with them and comment on each other's sprites through VMs. You could post them in your albums and let people comment on them. Also, read the rules. You can't take requests. |
http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/Sphericalice/InvertedEntei.png
An Entei Invert*. *An invert is when you invert the colours of a sprite on Paint (Ctrl + I), get the palettes and then recolour the orignal sprite. Check it out! Invert the sprite, it will be Entei's ordinary colours (except for the eyes and outlines, and the shading will be the wrong way around (i.e. lightest shade as outline, and vica versa.).) |
Are we allowed to put up a tutorial of how to recolor?
|
Nowhere in my post do I say "it takes no talent". True it takes less to do it, but that less is all that I have. I can do frankensteins of up to six pokemon and completely alter the color scheme, but I can't lay down a base model by scratch. So the only thing I'm doing with the originals when I make mine is using the default bases in tiny pieces. I don't know about you, but I feel privelaged enough to be able to do that. Question; if this sort of setup is so important, why is it not followed in other subforums? For example, the poetry subforum. (Now keep in mind this is just an example, but) I think I could blow half this site away with some of the ones I wrote (near 12 paragraphs long, taking a month or so to write, I've been writing for 7 years, etc), but does that mean that those just starting out or those that have only three paragraphs' worth don't deserve to be seen in their own thread? No. They took the time with the ability that they had, and did their best. They deserve to show off their two-paragraph poem about pink drunk polar bears just as I have a right to display mine.
But fine. If rules are rules and there's no room for negotiation I will leave this subforum for the pros. I'm just trying to speak out for the sum of us that don't have that much to offer. I would like to say though that I really like the idea of our own subforum. That would be awesome, and it would keep us from clogging this forum of your guys's. A subforum would be all that we'd ever need. |
I'm a big ice-type fan as am I of Meowth, so I figured I would make an ice-type Meowth.
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb312/uhlone/IcyMeowth.png It's a mix between the R/S Meowth and Emerald Meowth sprite. Recolored, obviously. I replaced the coin with an Icicle Plate. |

We had some really great and I mean great Pixel artists here (Allstories, Opacus etc) who have since stopped posting in this section because the flood of half baked recolour threads that completely plagued the sub forum. Recolours don't take skill, at all, you just get the eye drop and flood fill tools. I've being coming to this bit of the forums for over 4 years now and I've seen so much talent go to waste in favour of recolours. You say you only do it for fun? That's cool, but the majority of Pixel artists take Pixel art as a serious hobby, we like to improve, to be noticed and to receive our fair share of comments, and 90% of the regulars here will agree that this thread has being one of the best moves the Pixel Art Mods have made in a long time.

I'm sorry if I've come off as a "drama queen", that wasn't my intention. If this matter was given it's chance already or if a majority of this forum voted or requested this then I'm all for a majority vote, I just happened to be on the losing end. I can respect that. I didn't know it was addressed already, I thought it was just an "on a whim" thing. I guess when you put it that way it sounds stupid for me to be complaining; "Hey, give them their own spot please" "NO I DONT WANT IT" ... ha. If I can find some of my better ones I may post them.

Swift, you choose such nice soft tones for your recolors. They are very pleasing to the eyes. Good job on them.
The only crit i really have is to maybe recolor the eye on kingdra since the red gets lost in the pink... Do you make anything else... i'm gonna look for it... Keep Spriting! |

The togekiss/zapdos on though, it has some anatomy issues above the face, it is a bit jagged and doesn't flow nicely... Rapidash/ arceus is nice, you did a good job incorporating the gravitator things in there... just the far right leg looks a bit disformed, and the outlining is off on that... i can tell you scratched that part... just maybe widen it up...
