I'm NOT a spriter, but I decided to try revamps. I have a lot that I want done for my hack so I picked up the mouse and tried.


How are they? I've never done revamps before, my only experience with Pokemon sprites is recolouring and a tiny bit of fusions. So don't be too harsh on me :3
Pretty good job with those. I don't think you need to keep much of the dithering from the original since you have 16 colors to work with, but all of it is in less noticeable areas for the most part. I would smooth out the highlight over Blastoise's eye and possible the arm, too. They're a bit jagged. Also, on that same arm the nail furthest to the right has a lighter outline than the left side when it should be the other way around to be consistent with the direction of the lighting.

I made this badge for a Pokemon League thing where I'm the Ice type gym leader (On different forums).

It's the Arctic Badge.

Thoughts?
Well, ignoring the fact that snow flakes have 6 arms instead of four, it's not bad. A little bit simple design-wise, but the colors are good, the reflection effect with the lighter area is good. I don't really like how the outlines on the points are one pixel off. It seems a bit halfway to me. I'd either make the whole thing straight or I'd make the difference greater and go with a more elaborate outline.

i did major editing on my ghost-dude, seeing that it is my worst at the time(other than the sand- thing, but i dont see a way of that being fixed anytime soon)
It's an improvement, but I think you could get more out of this. The eyes are a nice design element. Having the one cut off makes it look like they're flat on the 'sheet' and the cut off one is wrapping around the edge. That's fine, but I'd be nice to see a little more of it since over half is missing.

Right now it looks as though we're staring at it at about eye level. Its eyes are equal in height. The shading is mostly of a left/right variety. All this makes it look a bit static, a bit like it's a flat picture. On the official sprites you'll notice that a lot of the time the eyes are not equal in height (or size for that matter) and usually aren't so close to the top of the head, or the portion of the body we can think of as the head. When the eyes are the focus of your sprites (because let's face it, there's not much else to look at here) they need to do more than sit there.

The shading is getting there. Cloth is hard to make look realistic. Right now you shading is smooth and that would be perfect for something round, but with folds and ripples you get weird shapes. I'd look more at the ghost pokemon sprites Dots pointed out. For a real world exercise in shading you can also try holding up something like a shirt to a lamp to see how the light plays with it. That's to get the 'feel' of shading. Spriting it will be trial and error.

does anyone know what size a challenge sprite(like my avatar) has to be?
The same size as the one in your avatar? Well the height, according to the one I just checked, is 64 pixels in the official ones where they cut off the picture. The width is something around 90 or a hundred, but none get cut off on both sides so its hard to tell exactly. That helpful?

Decided to dabble into spriting again and surprisingly made a trainer I'm actually proud of, although I think the parts I used are a little too obvious....



Comments and advice on improvements are more then welcome.

I just sprited my first house ever and I'm iffy on the roof. Something seems to be missing and I don't know what I should do with it and I figured someone might have some pointers to give me. This is mostly to help me get used to the ins and outs of spriting from scratch so I can improve enough to make my own tileset for my fan game. The house was made with the town's theme in mind since the town is pretty much built with all-wood houses since trees are very common in the area.

Not as obvious as you would think. They're blended together very well. I actually don't know which parts you've used, though I admit I don't do much splicing. One thing which I think would improve it is to lighten the shirt. On my monitor at least it looks so dark I can barely make it out. It's also looking to the right and not the standard left, but that's just nitpicking.

Hmm really? I didn't think the blending that great but ah well. As for the shades on the shirt I can see what you mean, just need to find another palette to use for it.

Final evo of my grass starter.

Comments?

EDIT: It's blurry because of photobucket. Sorry. :\
It looks pretty good when referring to the spriting. Though the design seems forced. The leaves and stuff just look like they were forced on a deer, not that they are naturallu on it.
