That spike thing on the back sprite is much to straight compared to the front one, and the outline is too light. Also, there's a design issue. The front sprite has red spikes on the cheek, while the back doesn't. The fire on the front sprite is wild, while the fire on the back is straight. And there should be atleast a little bit of the white fluff on it chest on the backsprite.

Overall, the backsprite needs some smoothing, just to make it look like the front.

And why is he looking into space like that, in a whole other direction x)?

Umm, actually the backsprite is meant to be for the first evolution stage. xD

And about the fish -- umm, i dunno maybe he got stoned. xD

Uhmm... Just wondering the tutorial u made is amazing but im stuck at the Stage 3 onwards.. Can u make a Vid of tht.. pleaaaaasseee?.. :) :) n ur work is godly!!!!

You are an amazing scratch artist! I love the shading and the fire and just ALL of it! :D even though the sprites are big, that just allows you to make even more detail apparent. Spriting small is HARD to do. I myself was struggling with that(and still am for that matter!), but I practiced spriting in the confines of 64x64, 45x45 for a base pokemon, 55x55 for a 1st stage, and 64x64 for 2nd stage. Trying that will probably help you to learn how to shrink down your sprites to nice sizes. I hope you continue and surpass me (which you dont have far to go! not far at all!) witch i think you have the capability to do!

tnguye3 March 18th, 2011 3:15 PM

@Dorandragon
Thanks! I've actually been practising trying to get the basic pokemon stages small in size (Panda and Blaydite) and it's pretty difficult. xD
I also prefer to sprite "bigger" as smaller sprites tend to make my sprites look like they're "squashed", although I don't have the required skills to sprite big/huge as I have only been learning how to do Pokemon sprites of, well, 80x80 and 96x96. x3
Anyways thanks for those canvas sizes I might try it out and see how I go along shrinking my Sprite size. ;)

@keshavkd
Yeah the shading part is the most difficult part! xD
If I find the time I'll try post up a video tut or something.

Also, another backsprite. This time of the 1st evolution stage of the Steel Fish for Pokemon Iron and Stone:

Thnx tnguye3... :D I hope i can atleast make fakemon..

Please refrain from posting spam, and try commenting on the sprites at least. Criticism is recommended in some posts as well. Mostly directing this to keshavkd.

tnguye3 March 28th, 2011 11:42 AM

Okey dokey here's another backsprite, this time it's the 1st stage Grass Bunny evolution for Pokemon Iron and Stone:

bwb234 April 4th, 2011 1:54 PM

Thanks for the tutorial its what i needed

Gregtom2 April 4th, 2011 1:57 PM

Wow, those are really good, how much experience do you have?

mon/donkeys April 10th, 2011 12:44 PM

I would love to look at your sprites especially after all the compliments you have been receiving. However, I can't see the pictures inside the tags. Maybe you can just have them be outside tags inside the post or tell me another way that would help me look at your things.

Dorandragon April 10th, 2011 1:45 PM

Actually, the one ear leaf outline of teh bunny looks a bit messy. might wanna fix it.

sfalpharyu April 24th, 2011 4:45 PM

wow your stuff is improving :D good job :D

Rionix April 25th, 2011 3:15 AM

I gotta say, these sprites are all nicely done. Some are original and some seems like a fusion but oh well, its all beautiful so..

TWO THUMBS UP THERE MY FRIEND :pink_boogie:

tnguye3 May 5th, 2011 1:07 PM

@DoranDragon
Oh my, nothing gets past through the eyes of pixel masters. :P
TBH yeah I was sloppy with the Grass Bunny's left ear as you can see, I just made a straight line hoping no one would realise... xD

@Rionix
All scratched. ;)

@Mon/Donkeys
Change your theme or try to use different browsers. Happens to me sometimes too. xD

tnguye3 May 17th, 2011 6:03 PM

Well, haven't been spriting in a while but yeh.
Here's a legendary for Pokemon New Dawn (argh forgot the name, but it's meant to be the opposite of Parnel, y'know kinda like Groudon and Kyogre or Dialga and Palkia).

So now, we have the ice diety and fire diety. :>

GFA May 18th, 2011 7:18 PM

I, no joke, just did a jaw drop. The shading is spectacular, though I feel the fire is a bit too uniform and dull (color-wise). Also, aren't the new BW boundaries 93x93? Because this is 96x96.

tnguye3 May 26th, 2011 12:34 PM

@GFA
Nope, dimensions are 96x96.
Thanks for the crit, i tried to make it seem like the fire are its "wings" (the guy still can't fly tho btw) the way that Parnel has Ice as its wings, but i see your point.
As for the colors i thought the bright fire pallette just didn't suit it cause its red body is kinda dark and the colors just looked awkward, but i might take a look later. ;p

Anyways here're the next sprites, for Pokemon Iron and Stone:

And the backsprite:

Revamp of ~Kian~ 's Ghost fakemon. :3

Tropical Sunlight June 2nd, 2011 4:19 AM

Twibat might just be too big for a 64x64-supporting Pokemon hack.
Also, you might want to enlarge its mouth so both of its bloodsucking jaws are visible.

tnguye3 June 2nd, 2011 7:16 AM

actually fireworks moved from rom based hack to RPG Maker. ^_^
And about the jaw, I think you meant "blood sucking teeth"? xD

Update:
I thought I'd try something new, and here's mah first Mugshot of myself (for my first trainer sprite lol). x3
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6557&pictureid=56351

Some crit would be nice, cause I wanna get good with it so i can do mugshots of other people (specifically hack team members).

It's big - but is it not excessively big?

It diminishes the sense of scale for any random Pokémon to completely fill the sprite canvas like that, unless you plan to draw every sprite at a larger than normal size and make truly large Pokémon fill an even bigger canvas.

At this point, such a large sprite also servers to highlight the lack of any advanced technique going on in the sprite. There are no colour limits to work around when working on a PC platform that uses PNG files to display graphics yet there is a lot here which can be polished by using more colours when necessary.

There isn't a single instance of in-between colours being used to smooth the area where two contrasting colours meet, not even where the white and blue areas on its torso meet. Its eyes are very poorly blended and aren't even outlined - bright red meets a dark blue and a bright white without a single pixel to blend the two areas togther when this is done on official sprites where strongly constrasting areas meet.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/95/Spr_5b_466.png

See how the black bands on Electivire have pixels where they meet the bright yellow body that are a colour in-between yellow and black, as to blend the two areas together.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/e8/Spr_b_4d_302.png

This one is a very good example of how large areas of shading can be smoother over with another colour used where the light and shadows meet.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/ac/Spr_5b_117.png

A strong contrast between the bright and dark blues on its snout is smoothed out by placing a few pixels between them

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/9b/Spr_5b_272_f.png

The zig-zagging stripes and green areas are smoothed out as much as possible.

http://i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad217/GreatMazinger_sup_m/bw_mictest.png

And this thing used in one of BW's menus shows what can be used to make a much larger sprite look nicer.

Where these sprites can get away without using in-between colours to smooth out shades it's often only because they are a lot smaller than the sprite you've drawn here, and they don't have spaces nearly as large filled with colour.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/2b/Spr_5b_295.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/c7/Spr_b_4d_119_m.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/c4/Spr_5b_569.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f8/Spr_5b_380.png

When drawing large eyes it helps a lot to have a well-coloured outline between the face and the eye to give it shape and to define the eyes away from the rest of the face, and often use of darker and lighter colours inside the eyes to give them a smoothly curved shape and blend areas together.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/06/Spr_5b_160.png

In this sprite, Feraligatr's comparatively tiny eye uses 7 different colors.

tnguye3 June 2nd, 2011 9:00 AM

I can't see any sprites apart from the Jigglypuff which you posted.
In any case since you mentioned electiwire, I followed what you were saying and I'm assuming that you're touching up on "Anti-aliasing".
Yeh I realised that I don't use that technique in any of my sprites, so i might take a look at it and apply it to my next couple sprites.
Thanks for the tip. ;)

W4RP4NDA June 17th, 2011 6:41 AM

How come I can't see anything? I open the spoiler and nothing is there. Just text.

tnguye3 June 21st, 2011 9:02 AM

@ W4RP4NDA
Happens to me too from time to time, try using various browsers or clear your cache.
Anyways, spriting a starter line as a request:

Shrubby: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6557&pictureid=57013
Bristledge: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6557&pictureid=57014

Looks kinda rough, but I was sketchy with it (especially Shrubby - lol), and I'm still trying to figure Bristledge's pallete for his forehead/helm thingy. Also tried anti-aliasing on his forehead, but it's just not really my thing so I removed it. Maybe i might try it on the final stage and see how it looks.

dooku01 June 21st, 2011 9:29 AM

... [so amazing there's nothing to say]

fav:

EDIT:

Tried to edit Bristledge to make a possible third evolution. Haha! Shading stinks.
