Hmm, your sprites are good for someone just getting back (and much better than anything I can do).
I'm just concerned about the outlines of some of them--they just appear rough at times. I don't really know how to describe it. Just take Aquana's or Blaid's heads for example. They feel a little sharp, and while that may be exactly how they're designed, the dark outline accentuates it too much. Also, the shading is mostly really good, but it could use some dithering in places; namely on Pyne's grass and Aquana.
Blaid's overall appearance is choppy in my opinion, and it looks like your least worked-on sprite. The brighter green contrasts too much with the rest of the sprite. You could either use a slightly darker color or apply a little dithering between colors.
That's all I've got for you, I tried to be more helpful than just saying "Great sprites man!"

Thank you, and I appreciate that you didn't just say "Great sprites man!" I see what you're saying about the sharp outlines. I've also been bothered by some other outlines that look weird like the antennae on Pilleg and Armoll, and I don't know what to do about that. And I do agree Blaid isn't one of my better sprites, and in fact it was a very old one that had some work done to it (for example it used to be blue) and I think it looks too much like Scyther. I may end up scrapping that design altogether and starting from scratch.

Thanks, Meegz0, glad you like them :) And yeah, I'll redo Blaid when I get around to it (haha, I'm so lazy :P) I've updated the first post and added these guys:



That's the best I could think of for a dragon eeveelution. Also I've made some changes to others like Pyne and Aquana. I made some palette changes and used black in the outlines this time like in actual sprites.

pretty good but need a little bit better in shading.

The shading of the head of Aquana seems off somehow. Pyne and Vypyr were great though.

The Amroll's head seemed too flat, while Pilleg was great. The stle of shading for Amroll is great.

Dragon eevee has good dark shading, but lacks brightness where it is needed.
