This is Scarf's Pixel Portfolio Again
Welcome. Thank you for viewing my fabulous humble collection of pixel work. Some of what you see below was made for hacks and other games, but mostly I do this for the fun of it.

You're most definitely awesome. (probably) |
Wow, these are really great. I don't know what to say.
You really know when and when not to checkerboard. |
Those...are...awesome. I am speechless.
Could I use your fakemon sprites, and the D/P/Pt region styled map? |

Those are great! How long have you been doing spriting/art?
|
That's ok. Just shoot me a PM whenever they are available =)
|
The fakemons are amazing, they only need a basic idea with them. The shading is, perfect. And the world maps are great too, but the South part of the Sinnoh map is kinda empty. D=
Keep up! => |
Quote:
Quote:
By basic idea do you mean giving them names and blurbs and that sort of thing? |
Update! A few more D/P style maps which should be better than my first one.
First one done for Curt_09. Second one done for fun. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=30949 http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=30948 Comments on these and the others always welcome. |
That's fantastic work! I love looking at pixel art!
|
Quote:
Anyway, your sprites are all brilliant. I especially like your "sea cucumber" sprite because it just looks so smooth. The black outlines add that extra roughness to make the sprite look a lot more distinct and better. It looks like it came right out of a Mother game. ;o I like how you've based your sprites off of random objects, like an amplifier, or a key, or a pair of pajamas. A few of them need work; mainly the bull, the amp, the key and the jellyfish. All I can say is to work on your outlines on most of them. ;) |

Seriously. Two months, though I've done other computer art stuff before and I'm a perfectionist patient, so don't think I'm some spriting prodigy. It took me a lot of time to make those. |
In wish the Pokemon games had as many cities and towns as you do on these, bravo! great job
:t354:TG |
Reply and small update.

Here's the update, a couple of tiny badges: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=31113 The Mill badge, Current badge, Park badge, Shore badge, Stage badge, Memory badge, Fuel badge, and Star badge |
Looks pretty damn awesome. For the Fakemon: A teeny tiny bit of polishing on the outlines. I'll go in order:
Spoiler:
Did I mention these are all awesome? If you need images to explain all this, please tell me. These are all superb, just a few minor complaints. You are one of the best spriters I've seen lately. Keep up the awesome work! |
I like the fakemon, they look very much alive so I could kinda imagine them in real life. Although the amp one scares me, it looks at me like it's going to shoot me with a cannonball.

Quote:
I don't suppose I can hold off on fixing those outlines and shaded areas now. Quote:
|
Update! Some retouched sprites with the originals for comparison. I will try to get all of them touched up eventually.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=31643 Changed the shading and outlines. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=31642 Changed the colors a bit, the angle of the head, the shape of the tail, and the outlines. And gave it teeth. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=31641 Smoothed out some of the rough edges. |
Haha, wow... I remember in early June, when you said you'd made Shuntose using one of my tutorials... you've gotten a lot done since then! I especially like Dazetail... it kind of makes me wish I'd given Marchare a more jerboa-esque design. You also seem to have a knack for naming them the way Nintendo of America does; changing the names from Japanese, Marimon would probably have been one of the ones they left alone.
The only real problem I see is with outlines. The outlines on Mintorn's arms and Jellusk's tentacles get kind of iffy where thin, and there are a few spots on Marchase that look jaggy... though that may be due to the way it's shaded. Unrelated to this thread... Location: ジパング? Puttin' on the old world charm, eh? |
Quote:
Like a wolf you've targeted the weakest of my herd. Jellusk and Marchase are likely to need overhauls whereas the rest are probably okay with touch-up work. Outlines seem to be my weak point :\ I think I'm getting better though. Seriously, you can't undervalue a good tutorial. |
Updating to keep my dying thread alive.
As per suggestions, I did some outline work on this guy: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=32202 And raised an island or two on this map to fill it out: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=32201 New: Cool Trainer base with the leg from a Crush Girl, the arm from I-don't-remember, and quite a bit of scratch work. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=32203 More to come soon eventually! |
I recognize the right arm and torso of the FR/LG Cool Trainer, along with the Crush Girl's left leg and what looks like an R/S/E Breeder's left arm... but I really don't know about the other leg. The closest I could find is the R/S/E Camper's leg, but there are a half dozen other bare legs it could have been modified from, if it's not from scratch.
It's a nice sprite, especially for people who like cheongsams (i.e. me)... but there's one thing bothering me about it. Look at the hips under the dress. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=32203 Now, look at the legs. Don't they seem a bit long and disjointed? Particularly the left leg... It doesn't really seem to flow from the hip. |
Quote:
I see what you mean about the legs and now I can't stop seeing it. I'm trying to learn how to scratch trainers so I started by fusing one to get my feet wet. I'll try applying more realistic anatomy to this one, but cross your fingers because I was always bad at figure drawing. Thanks again for the input. |

:t354:TG |
Wow, Those sprites are awesome, keep up the great work, I love the flower tail pokemon
|
I wish I were more artistically-inclined so I could say something more meaningful, but all I can muster is "wow". Very nice stuff. Your Fakemon designs have a charmingly subdued whimsical feel about them, I really dig it.

Updating again.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=32563 I think I was simultaneously channeling Oddish and Chimecho when I made this. I call him Littoril and continuing with my apparent fondness for making water-types it's based on a sponge (the ocean kind, not the bath kind). I'm a little worried that it (and some of my others) might be a little too simple. Am I crazy? Oh, and since I was playing around with tiles, this: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=32562 A very basic edit combining a pokécenter and pokémart. Your one stop shop! Feel free to C+C these and anything else. |
I wouldn't say that it's too simple, but adding some small details wouldn't hurt. Also, one of the most important aspects of a Pokemon is a memorable face, and Littoril doesn't really have it. Maybe you could add a little color to the face/lower body?
I know what you mean about worrying if it's too simplistic, though... I've been hung up on this one, trying to figure out what it needs. Sure, it'll look better a puffy, furry chest... but is that enough? It's a green rodent with a pumpkin on its tail, but that alone doesn't make it look like a Pokemon. Then again, some people try to put too many small details on their sprites, and it ends up looking too complex to be a Pokemon. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1594/tempf.png |
Quote:
But you did do a great job with the coloring and shading of this picture :t354:TG |
Not much bad I can say besides something seems odd on Silliphone's shading. The bright shine seems a little too big...
|
These are gorgeous and very creative, you must have a lot of tenacity to have done so many. Wish I could give more of a useful evaluation, but what else can one say about excellent work?
Out of curiosity: Is Abysail based on the cephalopod Grimpoteuthis? |

Okay, now for an update. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=33783 I call this little electric birdy Chartail. Check the first post if you want to little blurb. I quite like how it turned out. Except for the feet. Don't look too closely there. |
Heh, I've always had trouble with birdy feet too. The left wing looks kind of weird without any feather patterns or shapes, and the way it's shaded (along with the light spot on the head) makes the whole sprite look kind of like... wax? Small feathers tend to diffuse light in a way that you wouldn't see a bright spot like that.
All that aside, does the name Chartail come from the fact that it's used by cartographers? The concept reminds me of the Southbird from One Piece, which is used as a living compass due to the fact that it always faces south. |
Haven't really had time to do much. Just some work in progress to keep my thread open.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=35127 An unfinished edit of a rocket grunt. Not much to say. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=35128 A sort of finished backsprite to my last fakemon. I'm still new to this backsprite stuff. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=35129 Since I was already uploading I'm throwing in this very rough outline of a turtle fakemon. At this stage it's looking like it's going to be crossed with a buoy. And that's it for now. |
Keep Up The Good Work Scarf! |
The team rocket girl looks graet but I don´t like your fakemon they don´t look like pokemon but keep up the work.
|
Heh, looks like you're getting some differing opinions, there. I like the modified grunt... いい ボディ! d:Db
The compass bird's backsprite looks... Well, unfinished, as you said, so I'll hold off until you're satisfied with it. I somehow didn't notice before (maybe the shape of the beak isn't as obvious from the front?), but it's a cardinal, right? The... buoytle, looks great! As expected of you, while you claim it's rough, the line work is very clean, and the shading is smooth. The two problems I can see are the lowest pixels of the foremost appendage (they look unnatural, just a couple of pixels down there on their own) and the upper-right curve of the shell, which has an unusually long diagonal line. Still, though, it really does look terrific. It will look even better with some designs on the shell, and any other touches you add. Also, its face reminds me of a dugong or manatee. :3 |

Quote:
I see those two areas you mention and you are probably right. I'm glad you like the line work otherwise. I feel like I've got the hang of that aspect of spriting. As far as what comes next I really have no idea. I'm feeling the creative block as you might guess from the near-month absence of anything new. I guess that means going back and fixing up my old sprites. |
I must say, those are some great sprites you have there!
I might suggest one thing though, (sorry if this might sound rude...) i think you should try to make your fakemon look more like... pokemon then digimon... They still look great though! I must also say that, that chartail looks realy cool :) Here are the ones i think you need to make more... "pokeish": Abysail - Google fresh digimon in google images and you will see what i mean! Marchase - It just... i dont know why... it just doesnt look like a pokemon! Marimon - Just give it a need name... come on... you even called it a mon! Winkap - It looks like somthing off telitubbies... Dazetail - I sware ive seen a bigimon that looks just like this... |
There's nothing wrong with the name Marimon... it's based on marimo, algae balls that lack an English name, and there's precedent for Japanese Pokemon names ending in mon... like Metamon (Ditto). The only thing you said that I agree with is Marchase.
|
Quote:
What Chesu says about Marimon is right on, but I'll admit I didn't think too hard about coming up with that name. I suppose I could have called it Marimoss or Marimold or something else with a familiar word to English speakers. |
Nein, muss es Marimon sein! >:0
|
Wow i really love your region maps C:

Checkerboard? ...Really? I don't see any checkerboard sprites or even anything close to a checkerboard; And yet I'm still baffled on how one would 'checkerboard' |

Oh!! Scarf didn't checkerboard though :S, So why are you saying he knows how to checkerboard? |

This is by far the most silly post I've seen all week, of course you can checkerboard, try, you know, turning it a bit to the way it's supposed to look. Or just google checkerboard and check the hundreds of examples. |
You can't 'checkerboard' it's called dithering,
Any half decent spriter knows that. |
I kind of like the Marchase redesign, but the added armor might make it a little hard to run. I don't know if I like the change to the shading or not. Littoril, on the other hand... the smaller size is good, and I really like the perforation detail or whatever that is at the top, but I'm not sure if I can support the other features. It looks like a Neopet..
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/353/tempt.png |
Quote:
Checkerboard is, and this may surprise you here, a term that describes dithering, it's usually used to explain to newer Pixel Artists what dithering looks like. Don't talk to me as if i don't know basic terminology in an art form I've followed as a hobby for 3-4 years now. |
Quote:
Oh wow 3-4 years? do you want a medal? It's called dithering, it's what it's called. 'Checkerboard' is not a term to describe dithering, its a board that they use in checkers. It's like saying a ball has been 'squared' because it's got a square patten on it. Because really, It's just stupid. |
1. You didn't know what you were talking about at the beginning of the discussion.
2. You don't know what you're talking about now. 3. Your post isn't informative or at all on-topic; this is what PMs and VMs are for. 4. You're arguing with and openly belittling this board's moderator for no readily apparent reason. Ugh, this just kind of deteriorated... Scarf, come get your thread back on topic! |
Quote:

Yeah, okay, moving on.
. . . http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=35313 Tada. This is probably the ugliest thing I've done yet, but since I seem to have gotten in the habit of posting unfinished work I might as well roll with it. It's a concept for an evo of one of my other fakemon. I've worked on it and changed it at least a dozen times, but I can't get it to come out right and I'm not sure if I should stick with it or scrap it and start all over again. It's also suffering from a lack of interesting detail which is why there is that random stripe. I can already hear the "it doesn't look like a pokemon" comments, but I'm stuck as to how to make it look more like a pokemon. |
Have you tried giving it large arms rather than ears, with speakers on the hands?
|
Quote:
The only real thing I could think is scrap the eyes and let the speakers serve as pseudo-eyes, slightly repositioning the ears to function more as "eye-stalks" like a snail or something. I don't know. XD |
Somehow, Kenji's post gave me an idea for an "interesting detail".
http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:CV6uAqpGaKRkvM:http://www.deviantart.com/download/76779186/The_Great_Equalizer_by_dmbmansd.jpg How about an equalizer-like pattern? |
Quote:
You could scrap that silver ball below the mouth and add a small T.V screen like thing and add those equalizer-like pattern that Sir Chesu mentioned. IMO that would look nice, but you'd have to be way of making it cluttered. Meh. The concept and actual sprite are brilliant, but, as you know, there's a bit of a lack in detail. Great 'sprite', though! |

Anyways, fantastic work overall. I'm very glad you've taken my advice, it's not superbly common these days. Definitely keep it up! |
I took a break to clear my head of that last one and came up with this:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36026 This is actually for PokemonOI's Pokemon: Malachite so it's off limits. Of course everything of mine is off limits so that really goes without saying. Like always, I feel it's pretty good, but a little plain though I think it gives it a nice streamlined look. I spent a few hours non-stop making this so I feel I have missed something glaringly obvious because I can't really see anything I don't like about it and I always see something that bothers me. |
I love the soft colors! The highest point of the tail is a bit small though, maybe you should cut off that short line of pixels? The spike on the tail also looks a bit shallow, it might look like it's set in deeper if you round the bottom edge.

Anyhoo... BIG(ger) UPDATE! I've improved on THREE of my fakemon, edited a trainer and made another map.

Another of my many works in progress. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36303 A quick-ish region map based partly on the Touhoku region of, yes, you guessed it, Japan. The big cities roughly correspond (from east to west) to Nagano, Niigata, and Sendai. |
Amazing work, and i like, how its only a small amount of work, but its extremely high quality

Definitely more intimidating now. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36651 This is a sea turtle / buoy without a name at the moment. I like it. Looks all rubbery and bouncy. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36652 This is an attempt to improve one of the mapping styles I'm playing with. Perhaps someone will recognize the landscape? |
Another quick update:
One more sprite to add to the list. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36685 It's some kind of reptile! Yup. That's all. |
The turtle's lookin' good, though I don't have any ideas for a name. Mintorn's redesign is good, but its right leg is at an angle that makes it look just a bit shorter than the left. The reptile's mouth is kind of lacking depth, but aside from that I love the design, especially how eager the combination of facial expression and tail position make it look.
I DO recognize the landscape of your map, it's San Francisco Bay! What's the small location out on the sea route? edit: Oh, and thanks for linking to my tutorials in your signature! |

That spot out in the ocean are some rocks that you can see from San Francisco on a clear day, which is to say almost never. You're welcome about the link. I haven't seen those "I use Chesu's tutorials" banners yet so I figured no need to wait. |
it must of taken you ages to make those fakepokemon, i cant even make a good lookin fake :(

Spherical Ice made some banners for the tutorial thread... Yesterday or the day before, I think. They're not really your style, though. |
would you make me a Pokemon of my choice for a pokemon

In any case I'll probably let it sit for a while and come back to it with a fresh perspective. I'm in the mood to just churn things out and not stop. I've got another sprite in the works at the moment, or rather a promising sprite in the works since I've got quite a few which probably won't ever see the light of day, but who knows. Maybe I'll have a hundred by next month and have jumped onto the hack wagon. And you're right about the banners. I'm not much of a banner person. I still hope to see them around, though. |
I really like your fakemon but some of them seem to have been mis-shaded. For an example the shading on Siliphones head doesn't look right. The shading seems to straight and triangular. Also the dithering on Mintorns head doesn't seem to fit but its not too noticeable. Your region maps are very nicely done so no complaints there. Overall I really like your sprites.

http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36768 I made a few other changes I thought would look nice. I like the shape of the amp part better even though I've lost some contrast compared to the previous version. I've also got another sprite to show, one which isn't finished so comments/criticisms/etc. would be very much appreciated at this point. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36769 It's your generic, fuzzy, cotton candy pink, mammalian pokemon. Everybody should have one. The colors aren't set. I'm trying to move away from my usual browns and blues and I ended up with a pink fox with its head caught in a giant piece of popcorn. |

...Maybe a bit of Skitty, for good measure. :laugh: Yeah, sometimes to match the diversity in Pokemon, you have to go outside your comfort zone. I'm not particularly fond of ugly, monstrous Pokemon like Venusaur, but not all Pokemon can be cool and sleek. I don't really see any flaws or irregularities to point out in the sprite, good job! |

Moving on, I did some light touching up on another sprite http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=33783 http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36859 It's not much, but every little thing gets me closer to a perfect sprite. I still hate the feet. And to give this post a little more weight: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36860 This sprite is based on - pretty much traced from - a sketch provided to me by Luigi-a. It's (obviously) a pegasus-like evolution of Rapidash. It's also my first 80x80 size fakemon, my first fakemon derived from an official pokemon, and my first shiny fakemon. I'm throwing a little party inside my head to celebrate. |
I love the galery !
what's your secret? |

It seems I can sort of do them now. Oh, and these were made for [url-inline="member.php?u=119675"]The Doctor[/url-inline] so no touchy or you'll get visited by a Dalek, or something. I'm also experimenting with rescaling D/P size sprites down to 64x64 size. I don't know if it's really worth posting, but what the heck. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=37222 |
Oh I like the Lickitung evo! It's very cute, and I like the symbol on its belly. the backsprite looks great, what 'sort of'?!
Hm, I'd like to meet all of those spriters sometimes. And don't tempt me, I'd love to meet a Dalek! |
Just keepin' the thread open with a little update.
<- the new | the old -> http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=37531 http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=35127 |
To me, the 'new' version of that trainer sprite looks a little odd, I don't know why.
Btw, the fluffy pink thing isn't bad, I think it's cute. But as for coloring I can't say I'm a big fan of pink... I think maby lavender or light teal might go better. Maby with a silvery colour? Other than that I like it alot. Also your drawing style is great and overall makes your images unique and I think that's great. (( Sorry if this dosn't make much sense, I don't comment most of the time. I usually just stay silent... )) |
I think I know why the new trainer looks odd. The way the legs are positioned make her look unsteady with the way the body is structured. Kinda makes it looks like she has to pee. lol
But I am very impressed with all the sprites so far. ^_^ |
Your sprites are all really good, espeically this one:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=36860 If only it was public! Btw, do you think you could make baby pokemon sprites? |
Very professional keep up the good work
|
Whoa! A flood of comments.

http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=37549 These were other color options I toyed with when I was making it. The others just didn't look good to me (and I still don't know if any of them are that great) so I went with the pink one. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. Quote:

I've got two more sprites to show. I think you'll be able to figure out what they are. Both were done from sketches provided to me by Luigi-a [url-inline="member.php?u=94305"]{Swan}[/url-inline] and, as always, they aren't for public use.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=37602 http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=37601 I really like how the Gyarados-ish one turned out. The colors make it look fantastic. I'm kind of unsatisfied with the Gardevoir-y one. I think it looks a little static, but I don't really know what to do about it. At some point I plan on revamping absolutely everything I've done so far, fixing little things that bug me, but don't bug me enough to deal with them at the moment. Look for it, but don't wait up for it. |
RRRRAAAARRRGH I AM BACK
Ahem. That is to say, I like the new sprites! The proportions aren't really Pokemon-like, but obviously that's what you were going for. The one thing that bothers me is that on the Gardevoir-esque one, at some points the outline just kind of disappears into the background (which is nice), and at others it's very apparent (which is also nice); the problem is that both are on the same sprite. |
Quote:
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Somehow it didn't seem an issue at the time, but now I do see where it could be improved. That Gardevoir one was dang hard to do. You wouldn't believe how many versions I went through just to get it to where it's at now (well, maybe you would). I sort of ran out of steam - not to say that I think it's unfinished - just that it was at a point where I could stop and say "it's done." I should get to fixing those outlines. I'll put it on my to-do list. |
wow.
you're absolutely amazing...and very modest! if i had this talent i'd lock my doors and hibernate with nothing but a lifetime supply of cake and my pc. you really are exceptional! i cant give you construsctive criticism...because i have no criticms! well done :) |
I really like them.. they are alot better than most I have seen.. wonderful job!

Are you still accepting requests Galatea? If yes, can you please make this a 1st evolution and 3rd evolution? I kinda liked this one..
The dino one on your Fakemons? That's on the 2nd evolution.. Like.. Charmander > Charmeleon (He's here) > Charizard Could you make one please, with also a back battler. |
Xx holy crap that's good down to the shading. Even the turns and sides up to size value you got it all. Not calling you a god but dam!? xX |
