Wow. Nice to see you Avatar. Rather inspirational.

You've done quite a bit with the limited space given by RBY sprites. My only problem would be the highlights on the Rivals hair. The front and side sprites are fine, but the back sprite's shading seems incomplete.

Gaah.
This signature is under construction.
But dun worry.
It will most likely stay like this FOREVAH.
Because I'm nowhere near as active as I used to be.

I've finished the second trainer (Punk) sheet.


In addition to revamping RBY sprites, I've begun a revision of my current FRLG sprites. The only thing is that, while my current ones are available as download (although requiring a password and my permission) these revisions will not.
I've currently done Gold.


A comparison between the new and old sprites.

My only problem would be the highlights on the Rivals hair. The front and side sprites are fine, but the back sprite's shading seems incomplete.
It's been noted. Although, is there any chance I could have you elaborate a little on it?

I love the gold revision ;D.
Everything seems to fit in perfectly, the small changes make it better.

But with the punk, the hair looks a bit cut off.

Pokehuman, they are supposed to look like that. They are revamps of R/B/Y sprites, while maintaining the original proportions.

Anyway, they simply look fantastic, Avatar. The amount of detail you managed to speeze into those proportions is just awesome. I especially like how you did Oak's eyebrows. "Grrr..."

Anyway, keep up the awesome work, and I can't wait to see more (if you are going to make more)

Yes, I'll be making more, however, I've been preoccupied by other things.

I did find some time to work on some more sprites.

I've been working on a new spriting style as you may have noticed if you've looked at the Spriters Showcase. Originally the sprites had the same proportions as the FR/LG ones.

These are the first (and possibly only) non-JPEG samples you're going to get.


Majority of the palette is based on Kyledove's.

Some of you may be aware of it, some of you may not.
But, some of the recent sprite work I did was for two hacks, Liquid Ocean and rijonAdventures.

For Liquid Ocean I sprited the main character, Colin.


For rijon, I sprited the gym leaders Karpman, Lois and Scott.




And lastly, an updated version (and my own take on the design) of Wally.

I just thought I would stop by and show my support Avatar. I love the new style your working on. I'm so jealous there are not in my game :P
I look forward to seeing more work.

Awesome! They look great, Avatar. They've got a nice, warm and comfortable feel to them. Good job!

I know this was bumped by the fellow newb above, but I'll crit anyway.



Hm.. And I finally saw someone doing a different style for the OWs here; I've been doing the same thing recently, heh.

This style seems to me a bit fat though, the heads being blocky with the excuse being their rounded edges. The eyes and arms look alot like D/P, and the bodies look flat. Actually, I find this style too similar to D/P, with an attempt at thinning out the heads to have better proportions, thus resulting in bigger bodies and fat appearance.

My suggestions would be to add more contrast to the pallete colors, and distribute well the shading to remove the flatness. Don't change the pallete much though, as it's looking awesome with the low sat and all that.

You should also try and make the chins smaller, and work the bodies a bit to look thinner, while keeping the top down perspective. That'd be all the crits for now.



Im also wondering why everyone covers up their sprites here alot.. Frequent sprite thefts around here?
It would do well to know before posting mine.

This is not really an excuse. I drew the sprites that way intentionally. I wanted the style to have a sort of goofy look.
The eyes and arms look alot like D/P, and the bodies look flat. Actually, I find this style too similar to D/P, with an attempt at thinning out the heads to have better proportions, thus resulting in bigger bodies and fat appearance.
I started this style by originally working with FR/LG proportioned sprites then I eventually expanded them which might be why they look similar to Nintendo's official sprites. You could call it a halfway point.
As for the bodies looking flat that probably has to do with the fact that I took some inspiration from the way graphics are shaded in the Mother games.

Considering the fact that both of the sprites showcased wear hats that could also be attributed to the reason why the head might look large.

Here's the (still incomplete) version of Silver as a reference.

If you want to be on the safe side it would probably be a good idea. A lot of people (myself included) have had problems with sprite theft.
