Thoughts?

It looks a little like the bigger eye is looking forward and the smaller eye it looking upward. The outline on the top half of the fluffy part seems a little too light. And I'm not sure I like the particular shades of blue you used for the wings and body. The wings just seem heavy with such a dark shade. Still, it's got the cute factor, though maybe the beak could be reworked to make it a little rounded, sort of like:

Thanks for the crit, guys ^^

Chicari! ^__^
It looks so cute! <3 The design is perfect, and it's exactly what i meant.
Like almost everyone said, i just think you could improve the eyes and some other parts a bit, but otherwise it's great. Also, i think the feathers could be just a bit lighter.

I think you should light its wings on fire, to emphasize the fire typing.
Also, it would look cool.

flamemaster January 22nd, 2011 11:11 AM

hows this look?

The feet need to contrast with the body. Maybe make it yellow?

~Wind~ January 22nd, 2011 1:07 PM

It looks... Awesome!
And Kilnary's wings were on fire too, after all.

blackmoonflower January 22nd, 2011 4:14 PM

The body looks a little odd to me. And the wings look kind of flat. Maybe use Pidgeotto as a reference?

I reworked Chicari a bit. Does it look better?

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/blackmoonflower/Chicari2copy.png

Nimblethumbs January 22nd, 2011 7:18 PM

Good, you used the shading tip. See what i mean? But now it looks like a robot :/. Work on the beak, its to fat, and the eyes seem to lack... Life.

Logiedan January 22nd, 2011 7:44 PM

..The eyes look way better than before in my opinion. The whole sprite has improved nicely, but I think the only problem now is the wing on the right looks a bit jagged and detached. Are the wings suppose to function like arms and hands like Pidgeot or is it similar to Salamence's wings?

Eyes like those really go well with the the whole size, shape and color of the head. Maybe the body looks odd because it runs right into the head without much separation or it doesn't have much in common with a 'normal' bird shape.

blackmoonflower January 23rd, 2011 12:42 AM

._.

@ Nimblethumbs: The beak was fashioned similar to that of Swablu's. And I used Yooteri as a reference for the eyes.

I wasn't really sure how to attach wings to something made of clouds. The original concept description wasn't specific in that regard, but I did try to place them in a somewhat realistic manner (well, as realistic as you can get with a bird made of clouds. Also, I think I realized I suck at wings ._.'). I was assuming this was a bird that can just float and the wings are for show. That's what I envisioned, anyway. xoax will have to clear that part up for me.

And I suppose that's why Scarf thinks the body looks funny, since I just made it look like one big cloud with only a (very) vague shape of a bird body.

The bird floats somehow like Celebi, so you're right. I guess i went a bit too simple with the description.
I think it looks very good and balanced now, but i agree that the left wing looks like it wasn't angled properly.

Idk xD
Well i changed the top and eyes color, looks cool to me.
I pointed out what bothers me. the feet is ok I guess, i see nothing wrong now xD
And the wing. it just looks off.

blackmoonflower January 23rd, 2011 2:05 PM

xoax stated in the description that the eyes are supposed to be green.

Quote:

Description: A chick made of blue clouds. It has large,green eyes,a small beak,and stubby legs. It has a cute, innocent expression. It also has blue angel wings.
And it is now official. I hate wings. -_____-

flamemaster January 24th, 2011 10:21 AM

ok i made two versions of furnary. which one do you guys want?
v1:http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy272/flameking_2010/sfsfrs.png v2:http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy272/flameking_2010/funary.png

Nimblethumbs January 24th, 2011 3:03 PM

Second one, but the wing alignment and angling is way off.

You should also work on the shape of the body, and maybe alter the head since it's too simillar to the first stage.
Give it some feature that makes it different e.g. Pidgey -> Pidgeotto gets a purple helmet thing. Or Spearow -> Fearow has a long beak and slender neck.

Maybe make the head bigger and body smaller?
Also work on way the wings are meant to be posed.

So far the concept seems good, just work on it. ^^

Name: Potripus
Class: Octopus Pokemon
Type: Water
PokeDex: Potripus secrete an adhesive substance to anchor themselves inside
of pottery, allowing them to both ambush prey and hide from predators.

Description: A small octopus hiding in a takotsubo (Japanese octopus-catching pot) with a
few arms protruding from the pot's mouth, and an eye looking out through a cracked hole.
Concept/Sprite: Chesu/


which looks better?

I like the name Croktapus better, as it's in a pot, and crock pots are used to cook etc...


[EDIT]Dang didn't see scarf's version...I'll just work on the evolved form, the list in the 1st post really needs to be updated...[/edit]

So I've got a smaller hummingbird (I'm calling it 'Kolibud') to add as well as some changes to other sprites. Hopefully they're good changes. The red dinosaur now has racing stripes - everyone knows stripes make things go faster - and a tail like a spoiler. The flamingo has some awful bandages or something on its legs now because I couldn't come up with anything better. D:

@Metalflygon
Wow, that's some great stuff! I especially like the evolution, looks really intimidating! ^.^

@Scarf
Love Kolibud. The Dino also looks great. As for the flamingo, I like it, but I don't like the bandages, it looks somewhat - weird. xD
