    • Shawn, your Pokemon sprites are pretty good, but you should consider modifying the shape and color of the ridges on the head... they look unchanged from the base. Also, they're not aligned with the head; they seem to start above the right eye. As for your trainer sprites, you should try to modify them so that they'll look less like the sprites you based them on.

    ProdigyX, I just draw lines from the foot circles to the pelvis circle, then adjust them to match the shape of the pants or legs I have in mind.

    It's clearly visible I used the body of that sailor gymleader, but I think it's not that bad for a first try.
    And yes, I never could and would have done this without your tut, thanks!

    • Cobalt'Scizor, don't most programs have a one-click "replace selected color with transparent opacity" tool?

    qaz, I don't really have any advice... Just experiment, and make sure that the facial features are properly oriented with the head.

    I re-did my trainer sprite from earlier, because it felt a little (lot) flat to me. Also, it's more from scratch than then the last one was. So, here's take 2:

    Original for comparison:

    EDIT:
    I also made an (obvious recolor of Red's OW sprite) OW for this trainer sprite, which I will use until I can figure out HOW to make my guy's OW NOT look like Red's:

    EDIT2: Moved the arm closer to the body (it looked weird). Current version is in my avatar. BTW, do you have any plans on teaching how to do those VS. (eyecatch) sprites?

    • Spriting and pixel art in Pokemon Games is extra easy now that the Nameless Sprite Editor came out... though it would be nice to get some pointers on making 'Level Transition Images' Those special images in FR/LG that you see giving a hint on the next area you're going into, like when you enter Pokemon Tower, or Viridian Forest...

    I can make pixel art showing a landscape, I'm just not good at nintendo style...

    • What you're talking about is known in the film industry as an "establishing shot". Think of how on tv they'll show a brief shot of the outside of a building to establish where the setting is, before cutting to the characters. That's actually one of the tutorials I'm "working on right now". It's about half done, and has been for nearly year, but my time's been occupied by other things. I really need to get these things finished...

    I love your tutorials, because I have the problem that I can never scratch something large, but with your tutorials I can easily makes large bases, and sprite the smaller thing myself.
