Oh, good God.

Anatomy, pleeeease. It's not shaped naturally. You should really try to find a tutorial to help you here.

Shading, same, tutorial.

And... just the color itself is pretty aesthetically displeasing. Try to pay more attention to detail. I'm not going to dismiss your scratch, but you need to try harder.

a sock monster. How does it look (also posted in my sprite thread)
That's the coolest sock ever!
I have no advice to give

But then I would've had to move the arms and hands. I originally made the guitar smaller but I got to the strings and found that only maybe two fo them would fit on it.

Other than that it's pretty decent right?
I couldn't say because that's pretty much the only thing you did. Couldn't you at least move the guitar and hands down a little?

Ok, you have to admit, this is bad.

But I believe in pointing out good AND bad things. I'll give you some tips to help (Although don't blame yourself if it doesn't turn out better. I'm not exactly a brilliant scratch spriter).

First of all, see the left arm? I think you should maybe change it completely. In sprite, there should NEVER be very long, straight lines unless it's meant to look machine-like. Same with the left-hand side of the head. The bit where the sycthe is instead of the hand is also too pointy. Try and copy what you did with the right, it looks perfect!

The head needs a short neck, just to make it look a bit more life-like. Also, maybe some horns/feelers/ears? And the mouth and eyebrows shouldn't be that big and bold. Tone them done a little, espicially at the ends.

The lighting is great on the head! But, you need to redo the legs and eyes a little. The bottom highlights on the legs haven't got any shading, full stop. Need to fix that. On the eyes, if you replaced the black with white

The belly lines also need toned down. They really jump out at you. They need to sort of blend in and be unoticable at first glance.

The feet look a bit weird. Some toes should fix that.

Maybe you could try this again from a different angle? This one is a bit awkward.

If you try some of my tips, it might look better. Good luck in spriting, and hope to see lots from you. :D

Okay, what darkwiz said wasn't exactly appropriate, but this:
as i said its my first one i really cant help it
is not the right attitude! ;)

Now, I'm here to help you, as well as many other people are. And you can help it: just listen to what we say, think it trough and try to modify your sprites a bit so that evetually, they're perfect!

First, the boy dressed in red.
There's a lot of good things about this sprite. The colours, for example, are harmonic and realistic. Also the shadings are made with suitable colours and that's not always the case. The shadings are pretty well done and the outline is almost excellent. His left hand (the one that's on the right side) is a bit too thick on the shoulder, you should fix that and it'll look a lot better. Also, the cape looks a bit awkward, but that's nothing big. Try to make some more curves into it and I think it'll be fine, too.
The face, I have to say, is excellent for a first scratch! Heck, I've done this for a lot already and I still can't do even acceptable faces. Thubs up on this one, mate. You could use multiple shades on the face, though, so that it'd look more natural. Again, nothing very big, but I can promise you the outcome will look better.

Then, the fakemon.
That one has a lot of work to be done. For starters, it looks a lot like Scyther. originality for the win! Secondly, I don't think you've paid this enough time and effort. It looks like you rushed it: the shadings are a bit off, the upper scythe is too angular, its feet seem to be a bit snowman-ish and the face is a bit off, too. Judging by the first one, you are a decent spriter, so I presume you have done this one in a hurry. Maybe you should revise it, think of another pose and add something to it. That way you could really have a better outcome. Balaczter kind of covered this already, so I'm not going to say a lot more.
Again, the colours are excellent: they are harmonic and realistic.

Keep practicing and one day you'll outsprite us all! ;)

Yeah so, I started spriting awhile ago, & I finally decided to bring them out of the recesses of my computer, so hear I go ...



Pikachu, I guess I have so work to do hear, especially with the head & it's roundness, & now,



Buizel! I think his foot needs work, I have many more sprites to put up, but I'll work these to death, before I post up more.

I think Buizel looks great!
But Pikachu could use some work. Someone else already said to make the head smaller, but I also think you should move the left ear up a bit.

Please give me some pointers
To have your own thread you need at least 4 examples of sprites, so this shall be merged with the Spriters Showcase/Discussion thread.

I think it looks pretty good, the one thing I would do, finish the horn, and now so I can open a thread, feast your eyes on these. Personally, I hate Charmander, but what the hey.

, , &
Your charmander is kinda cute, but weird, you made the anatomy on this one pretty bad.
His body is very cornered, you need to fix that, it looks abit weird on charmanders legs,and tail.
also remake the tail and flame, the tail doesn't bend well, the flame looks kinda small to me.
Same goes for charmeleon, you need to fix most of the shading on there, his jaw looks abit weird.
Charizard is the best of all of them, I like his pose and better anatomy then your other sprites, but the shading is off on the sprite, fix that it will look better.
But it looks so familier to me, really i'm sure i've seen it before.

I'll make a man out of you!
