I would like to work here as a spriter :) I only do scratches though...

That's a great Charizard. And you did it from scratch?
Of course, everyone's a critic, so as not to be alienated from the group called 'everyone', I have my own thoughts for improvement.
~His head should 'dip' into his nose, not slope into it.
~His hand (right ) seems disproportionate from his front sprite size-wise
~I don't know what it is, but his back just seems... odd, to me compared with its extremities.

But that's all just my opinion. Regard or disregard at your will.

That aside, I stopped by to ask if my idea about ??? attacks took, cause if it did, I already got a few moves to post for it.

The wings look odd:"image removed"
There's something wrong with the left foot, too.

As for ??? moves, I'm currently reserving the type for Shadow moves (like in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness). If your ideas are good, I might consider having ??? as a more standard move type, rather than just having Curse.

First, about the charizard, I don't know why I didn't see it before, but Charizard's wings aren't blue in the back.

OK I have just a few ???s (Get it? Oh the wit...)
What of Arceus? Will he be different for Shadow type? Will there be a Shadow Type Plate? If so, what of the Programmed-but-unmanifested ???-type Arceus?

One problem: the Charizard isn't facing the front, so why are the wings?

Ooops, i did'nt notice that O.o
I'll change that right now ^_^``
EDIT: Here ya go :)

THough i did'nt understand what you meant with "Dip it's nose" Tetsu...

I PMed you Bakuphoon about your Charizard sprite. Perhaps together we can tweak it without flooding the thread?

wichu if you need it i have a piplup scratch...im still workin on it though

or

Wow! That is an awesome Ambipom and Chatot! Much better than mine. :P

Anyway, I tried again with Pachirisu. I used some advance style shading, and advance style colour pallettte too. Tell me what to change if needed!

Thanks for the sprites everyone, they're great efforts!
They're not perfect, but most things aren't.
The Smell, your anatomy looks slightly off (especially the tail), and it looks quite fat.
KageX, in my opinion, there's too much black outlining. Also, the lines sometimes don't look quite rounded enough.
I'd just like to say I'm considering making a scratch sprite tutorial, if you want to know how I sprite.

I'd really like to help out with this, so I say that would be a good idea :)
It'll have to wait until the demo for my game is out, kinda busy with that.

Hey! I thinned up Pachirisu, and made the tail look more "right". I also redid a couple of the lines, the grey one lighter, the blue one darker.... Hope you like it better...

I Just made a shaymin sprite if you want it :)
To the left is mine ;)
I can sprite for you, you know.

Oh and with help from Tetsu i was able to improve my charizard sprite:

Shaymin is good, but if you saw a Charizard facing backwards in a Pokemon game, it would be a little strange, wouldn't it?

The shayman sprite is very good. I'm not sure about the Charzard one though.

In my opinion at least, the Shaymin's legs look odd, and its body looks a little too long. Here's the official art for reference:

Anyway, I should have the tutorial done tomorrow.

Are you still looking for some ideas? I'll think up some if you need them.

Ugh, I finally finished reading all the posts in this thread. Anyway, I'd be very happy to help with a few things you said you needed.

*Side Quests - I'll need descriptions of places and the general storyline to help with side quests. It's kind of strange, but Pokemon never really has many side quests.

*Team Necros Admins - I'm very good with creating evil characters. I'm not sure why, perhaps because I embrace my dark side? Anyway, I'll need a description of what Team Necros believes as to why they have this twisted, messed up idea of releasing a huge Pokemon.

*Pokemon - I was thinking about ideas for Pokemon, but surprisingly, I couldn't come up with any. You said you didn't really need any more people for this, but I'll inform you if I have a revelation at some point. I have no idea how to sprite Pokemon, but I'm looking forward to your tutorial to see if I'd be interested.

*Moves, Abilities, Items - For this I'll need to know the descriptions of the Pokemon you'll want them to relate to, but I'm sure I'll slowly come up with these on my own. It looks like there are plenty of ideas already, but I'd be happy to help.

I'll check this forum every now and then, but I'm much more active through e-mail ([email protected]) or via the RMVX forums. Tell me what you still need so I can begin working on it.
