I have to admit these are great and I love your shading but there's a problem with Lugia. You might want to change the beak a bit because with the perspective your going with the head, to me it looks as if it would be turned 3/4 angle to the left while the beak suggests a side view. Just wanted to point that out and I'm loving that PokeWalker. Good luck with the spriting.

Right after I finish reading your critic, I changed it ;)
Well, is this better or shall I change a bit more?

The beak looks better but you need to make it wider.
Right now it looks very skinny compared to the original design of lugia.



See how much wider it is? Now another piece of advice is that you should stay consistent with your lighting and shading. Again look at the lugia example notice how the shading on the white skin merges with the blue skin. Thats what I mean with consistency its the same thing with the lighting too. I also recommend experimenting with colors instead of using game freaks lugia colors. Otherwise its a very nice sprite, I hope this proves helpful.

I see.....
(My Lugia went on a diet :P)
Better? Any more changes? :)

About the colors, I'll try to experiment it on my later works ;)
By the way, to tell the truth, I shade like I'm drawing with watercolors

Looks better now. Now with your Typhlosion, it's nice and I like the shading and all but what bothers me a bit is the flame. Now on most of the sugimori art of typhlosion two colors are usually used in the flame, red and yellow. I know your going for the watercolor effect with the different shades but try to blend them as well as you can or try the first choice. Also the fire can use "quills" of varied length so it looks like real fire; use the attachment as an example and I apologize for it since I cannot post images/url until 15 posts.

I will not critisize the actual pixel part of this art, since too me, you are amazing at making pixel part, but I will critisize the anatomy of your pokemon.


This is really good. However, one thing is wrong here. The beak. You have the top beak the same size as the bottom beak. It should be a bit longer than the bottom peak, and it would be curving downwards slightly, just like the Sugimori artwork. If you fix that, then I think it would be perfect :)


Basically they only thing I see wrong here is the flame. It needs to be way bigger, and also needs to be less straight. Flames are crazy, especially Typhlosion's, so make it bigger and crazier. Oh, and the arms are a bit too skinny. Make him have more muscle ;P


This is just all over the place. The head is in a very weird position. I know you want to show that it is turning its head, but you are not protraying that too well, tbh. Sorry...also, the legs are very weird. You have one leg going one way, and the other going the other way. Also, the leg on the far right, why is it behind the outline of Chikorita? It shouldnt be, and should be apart of the body on the front. At least, that is the way I see it.

I hope I have helped ;D

You are great at critics ;)

Read the bottom part (under Lady Gaga's quote)

Sing Telephone for me! I want your autograph!
So, Typhlosion's flame's the problem right?
Well, I've changed it a bit. Nicer? Anymore problems? (My Typhlosion's on a diet too :D)

whoops...
better version:


Lugia only has a beak...:)
Better?


I don't really understand the Chikorita's problem :\
Well, I drew it as if it was walking with a pose...
Explain it more?

Nice shading. I like how you positioned the closeup with the background waves and the moon peaking out from behind. That's a nice touch. The moon isn't exactly round like one would expect though.

I have only one problem with this but I still love your work.
The problem lies with Jirachi's head; in comparison to it's "headpiece" it seems to be a bit too large and ill proportioned.
>>
As you can see here the head is more wide and flattened out, while yours is more elongated. When you fix that I think it will be much better. Other than that I like the background and your shading is still great. Also aren't the tags blue and not green? Just pointing out. :nervous:

Sorry if I'm being harsh or anything in anyway. Sometimes I can't keep my touchy behavior under the radar.

I think the lugia's head could still use a bit of fattening, but i think you should make the crest bigger. you've got some cool sprites here ^_^
I'll change when I have time ;)

pretty nice, and I really like the texture you have on it. the right half (the bug's half) of the shell doesnt have the same texture, and the right eye (bug's eye) looks to be farther back than the visible eye. There is some akward white on the shell part after the head, right under the portrusion. Also, I think, that if your going to have that horn like portrusion from it's shell, you may want to make it bigger so that it's more noticable. I hope you were able to make sense of all that :) again, its very good and I love that texture :D

Grasy, I realize you were going for an interesting position, but you can really see that much of it, and he would look much better if he was facing forward.

Grasaly, is similar in position, but hes fine, because you can tell which way he is facing. I'd like to see more emphasis on the head than the leaf, because it looks like the head is behind the leaf.

On both Grasy and Grasaly, unless thats the style you want to go with, I feel there is too much dithering.

I'm guessing your going for a sloth pokemon? Thats the feel I'm getting. Still very good sprites.

Wow, these are really good. Keep it up. :D

One thing, the Pokewalker looks a bit thinned, you should make it wider, as it is more circular. ;D
What? The Pokewalker I've got is a fake?!:P
I feel that it's fine.... well, that's how mine looks like... (unless its fake :shocked:) Tell me more on what you think ;)
