Overall the sprite feels a little scrawny. I'll begin by stating that for a dragon to support wings of this size, it would need a more stocky body. Firstly, the tail also feels quite straight compared to what it should be. A tail like this should be quite curved rather than erect. Contrast it with the neck, which is how evident it should be when you curl it, I would recommend curing it around the anatomy a little bit to add more depth to the sprite but that's your choice. The head also feels rather small, possibly due to the fact that the neck doesn't offer much support for it. You should build the neck up and make it a little wider as it comes towards the head. You should make the breast area of the sprite push a little forward as it feels a little condensed. Same goes for the lower part of the body towards the hind legs, on the bottom, it should be a little less skinny, again, there needs to be support for the thighs here. Which also could be made larger to make it look more stocky. The leg which is being lifted at the front also has too many straight angles, try making it more curved also. The scaled on the front of the neck also look a little messy, I would recommend making those more symmetrical.

The wings are my favourite part of the line art, however you need to just think about how the body is going to support it. Overall it needs to be more stocky and less angular. You could do something more interesting with the face also, it seems to lack expression.

Thanks for your eloborate crit. I made the breast area push a little forward, made body muscular, and fixed the issue of the neck giving not much support for the head. Hope you like it now. ^^

Well an update off the dragon epic:


Things I have to do:
- The whole outline
- Some details
- Some shading

What do you think of the colours?

These are great. Ferrex has some structural errors, but other than that you're really good.

Are you refering to the dex in the first post? That one is very old. ^^ Ferrex improved a long time ago. I will edit the first post with the new updated dex as soon as possible. For now.. you can view it on page 5.

It looks pretty cool. You put a lot of fine detail in it. And I like the pose of its face more than the WIP version.

I would darken the outline on the claws of its right (our left) hand.

I'm totally digging both the design of the Dragonice Fakemon as well as the color of it. Bunneggi I like the color and the way that you did it but the Fakemon it's self looks like this bunny that use to haunt my dreams back when I was little (I'm being dead serious right now). I have a question , did you use Charizards head on the Dragonice?

I think I can give a few tips. :)
-Well, start off simple. Make mixes, then unregonizable mixes (therefore you have to scratch a little and change the shading), make pixel-overs and when you master these thing, then your ready for the big thing..make a full scratch.
-Always want to improve your spriting skills. So that means stay open for crit.
-Keep growing as a spriter. So that means, when you ready to something more difficult, try it. Don't be affraid to take it to the next level. ;)
-And last but not least...SPRITE SPRITE SPRITE!! Practise is the key to succes here.

So prepare for a bumpy ride! My rookie spriting friend. HAR HAR HAR! *laughs evil*

Without joking around, good luck with spriting, And I hope to hear from you in the future. ;)

Thanks. And the outline of the claws..meh.. it already got accepted for the game and they don't find it necessarry to change it. Thanks for the crit though. :)

I indeed use the mouth of Charizard. But, that sprite is old. Like three years old now. I revamped it recently though. You should check it out.. it's in the first post.

Why is his arm connected to the side of his head? You should check his Platinum and BW sprites, they fixed a ton of problems that one had.

I kind of agree to this, but other than that, the drawing it's self is really good. The coloring and shading around the leg that is kicked up in the air can use a bit more work but other than that, it is really good.
