DKG's Spriting talent (if i have any :P)
Hello, I've been spriting for about 2 weeks now. And i've been rom hacking for 2 months. Please be considerate when giving criticism. I'm still beginning thnx :)
Fakemon: Spoiler:
OW: Spoiler:
Tiles: Spoiler:
Ok I'm still working on the little tree (fixing it up). Expect more from me. Oh and all of those above are 100%scratched. (except the OWs, I kinda scratched/spliced on those :P) |
Wow! these are good Dkg.. i hope to see more from you :)
|
Heey DKG! Nice Sprites and Tiles. Only one thing, you should add more shading to your fakemon. That looks much better ;) Keep it up ! x3
Gigatom~ |
sure thnx :)
Yea, still trying to master shading :P |
Wow, these are great! You've really only been spriting for 2 weeks? The only real problem I see is that the tail of the second Fakemon is to erect. Other than that, these are practically flawless. Keep up the good work!

http://i48.*.com/ds74z.png Update on the OW, hair is spikier kinda now :) |
any more comments?
well i have a few new things :D http://i48.*.com/16i5lee.png this is my second attempt at trainer spriting :D my first is not worth posting EDIT: another fakemon that lack proper shading :( http://i46.*.com/2n703g7.png Ok i might change the head on this one :/ 9/16 colours used btw. More comments/critisim = More effort in work/ better (hopefully) |
unbelievable T_T. No more updates till i recieve some crit besides this:
http://i46.*.com/fdroxx.png Pick your favourite. |
I like the first one more, it looks more like a battle sprite. Shading still needs work, though.
|
K, Everyone likes the first one :P
Ok, I'm gonna check out a shading tut :) *hint*pro spriters make a shading tut*hint* |
You should use custom colors instead of prefixed ones.
It should make your sprites look better. |

Is this tadpole fakemon any good :) I think I'm slowly getting the hang of shading :D Also I made this for someone else so no stealing k? |
Wow, these are great! I'm pretty good at scratch spriting myself!

Thanks :D I'll prolly make an evo for it so it doesn't look pathetic like dusparce. Ummm any comments on the shading? is there improvement? And for some reason I can't splice for beans or fusion sprite for that matter :P |
some of your lines in your tadpole aren't smoothly, to sharp-edged. shading looks ok.

But when I try fixing it, it takes away from the whole long thin and curvy look :/ If someone can fix it up and show me how its done that'd be great :D I won't tkae ur sprite fix if u do decide to redo it, I just wanna see how it looks like. On the lighter note, I scratched a bird preevo :D Hope u like it (it's supposed to be cute XD) http://i47.*.com/10r22v9.png the one i'm using is pose 1, but pose 2 is just there :/ |

Well, i fixed up your sharp-edged lines. ;) http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/8605/smoothly.png On the left side you see your sprite and among them you see, in red, how the line supposed to be. On the right you see the result and a explanation of how I did the lines and how it's supposed to be (the red lines, are your lines, which aren't right. And the green ones are the right way to make that line.) ;) Your bird indeed, is cute, but to front and to simple. And has sharp-edged lines (maybe you intended it that way, if so, I appologize). ^^ |
It's very squarish, and looks very 2D. I like the tadpole though
|
Quote:
As for the bird I'm not quite sure what you mean by front and simple :/ but the sharp lines were intended a trait it carries after evolution :) Quote:
Um, k. Thanks and I'll see if i can fix the sharpness abit :/ I guess no one likes the adventures of baby eagle :/ |
Oh.. It's supposed to be square. But it should be on more of an angle.
|
Hey, you're doing great, tadpole looks nice, same with the baby eagle, which can use some work?
Keep on going. From friend to friend, `countryemo |

Guess I haven't been spriting lately but here is something I did today :)
http://i47.*.com/ei61bo.png I would say it took me 10 mins to make so....not really 100% good |
no please, these fakemon need WORK, you can change the head for the trainer

I noticed to problems that are reoccurring in your sprites. First, you use black too often. Black should only be used as an outline at the darkest part of the sprite. On several of your sprites you have it right next to a light shade making the contrast between colors noticeable and unattractive. Secondly, Your palettes aren't the best. Try looking at a pokemon sprites palette and compare it to yours. From there you should be able to see some differences.
The shading is off on a few but it isn't as noticeable as the mistakes I pointed out earlier. I really like your concepts and your line art is great for a beginner you just need to work on the above. |
Thank you, Conan Edogawa, believe it or not , darths told me the exact same thing unfortunately I tend to use the default Microsoft Paint pallettes. The shading on the older ones are very off I know, I was however hoping that it was better on the newer ones :/
thanks, I will look into the matter further in the future :) |
The new OWs have nice shading but the older fakemon do need work. If you have trouble with palettes then try using palettes from existing Pokemon sprites. That's what I did when I first started scratching because I had the same problem.

http://i45.*.com/ev8j1x.png I tried custom pallettes instead of MS Paint default colours, improvements? |
Uhm, dude, that is FAAAAAR too small. Honestly, how do you expect anyone to remember that Pokémon.
Picture this conversation (hypothetical, ofc): "Dude 1: I can name all 549 Pokémon! 1. Bulbasaur, 2. Ivysaur...25. Pikachu...100. Voltorb, (etc.), 549. ???! Dude 2: What about [midget mon]? Dude 1: Wha?" It's got no memorable features, or anything. I' guessing it's Dragon type, but even that is vague. It's hard to crtisise the sprite as it's too small. If someone advised you to sprite smaller, they're either wrong, if they told you to do so at that extreme, or you took their advice to an extreme. |

I like the story/example, however cause it's so small ppl remember it :D edit: resized it in paint. sprited it over again. Gave it the ability to grow :D http://i48.*.com/j660d2.png |
Well, whilst I'm, here, I might's well crit your other sprites; I'll do everything on the first post.
Oh, and small is an understatement for that sprite, seriously. Quote:

It's almost 1 a.m in the morning here, and I looking at my monitor through half-opened eyes, so I'll probably post again later on in the day (almost said tomorrow), when I'm awake. Unless I forget. Anyway, I hope I've helped a bit; I think I may have been slightly too harsh at times, and I apologize for that; I have nothing against you - all of my crit is from an artistic point of view, the reliability of that, however, tends to vary. |
Quote:
well I resized mini-mon I was actually considering naming him that. thanks for the crit I appreciate it. ps.Mini sprites= awesome, cause they make ppl think they need glasses. |
I'm sorry, the master, I am very stubborn and don't learn till someone yells at me :P
http://i45.*.com/10pt7vc.png you might want a magnefiying glass, but it's my new sprite :D |
http://i50.*.com/2uhb8g6.png
I would like everyone to meet Mr.blob :) I made him to practice shading, so I would like only the shading to be up for critic. EDIT: yes I know about the black outline, I just lost the purpose/idea of making that work :/ |
