I was about to say that :P
And yeah, save them as a .PNG next time.
For shading the light source is from the north-west.
:o i see it now,the colours are really messy.
Thanks guys for telling me ^^
It would be a big mistake if i would post sprites
like this into public and then ppl would download it.
It wouldn't look good in the game heh,...

Here are my first attempts at overworld spriting. I did make their other frames but lost it which made my excrutiatingly angry.


The 1st one is just an alien thing with a black robe thingy. Its definitely not best.
The 2nd one is my attempt at the male protagonist from BW. I dont know what his name is
The 3rd is a girl though with her hair pulled back. And she has a hat on her head, which is covering her hair.
Tell mwa what ya think. mmmhmmm?? Thanks

I want some constructive criticism on these guys. The only problem is that you can't suggest for new body attachments the outline has to be exactly the same as Electivires.

Hey guys. I will comment on your sprites but could you guys say something regarding mine as well? I am not that great of a spriter but I will try my best to help you.

Kazoki, your cloud, lightning sprite is sadly saved as a jpeg. That makes it look all gross and you cant do anything with that sprite. SAVE IT AS PNG.
I see you saved the bird, duckling as a png, so keep it that way. I like the duck but its shading looks kind of strange in some parts. Remember that the light source is to the top left. And I think the duck should be facing a little more downward. Great job otherwise!

Novastar. I really like those sprites. Are you asking for which palette is better or is that the male and female version of the sprite? I like the one to the right a little better for some reason. The shading and the lineart look great!!!

Finally, CharGrilled. Those are pretty sweet looking electivires! The only thing that I would have to say is that on the blue one maybe the outline color that you are using could be a little bit darker.

Well. Their heads are very large for overworld sprites, unless it was intended to deviate from the Pokemon style. The shading is good on these otherwise. Also, that's Hilbert, the boy protagonist I mean.

Awesome,i like this one really,...
i bet its ice type heh ?
Anyways,great job!
Actually it was going to be the water starter of the region I'm starting to make.

It's the regular and shiny versions. Anyways I decided to go with the previous shiny palette over the original and made a new shiny palette.

Hilbert? Never would have guessed that!
Yeah, it wasn't originally intended but I kind of like the way they look so I might make them like these for the hack I am planning to make. Thanks for the comment!

oh here is the finsihed version
dude, i'd suggest reading some tutorials on outlining, its all over the place,

you should try to keep ur lines much smoother and more natural. Its very rough, good pixel art requires patience, you cant just quickly sketch out an outline and fill it in with colors, you need to fix the lines, and constantly improve them. Also try to make the body poses more natural. No1's body bends in such a strange way...

if ur just starting to sprite, may i suggest starting with pixel-overs till u get the hang of making smooth lines and creating good line art that can form a solid base for whatever u wanna do?


Mind critiquing these? The animation was my first animation ever
nothing really to say, its a great sprite... outlining is good, color combo works, shadings fine... if u had to pick a flaw, it would be that it seems to be looking straight instead of where the pokemon may be, but that might just be me...





This is my first ever spliced Pokemon Darhon. Darmantian, Chandelure, Braviary, Magnezone, Shiny Marill
for a splice, thats really rough... splices should try to mix the different parts of pokemon smoothly, instead of cutting pieces of pokemon up and putting them on to a base, try to merge them, make the individual pieces flow into each other, parts that need to be resized, could be redrawn, or resized and fixed...
Neway, keep trying new splices focusing on merging the parts u take from other pokemon properly...

a pixel over involves pixeling over another image... could be ur own drawing, or a screenshot of an anime or whatever... basically... u try to follow the outline and shading of the base picture (or change the shading if u want), but ur going pixel by pixel like normal pixel art instead...

I'd like some feedback on a mugshot I've just finished reworking from a screenshot from B/W2

It's been re-sized to D/P mugshot size, but I couldn't quite get the purple right on her.

Edit: I might consider working on the rest of the mugs from screenshots that have been released (all bar the new water-leader, I believe) if people think this one is good enough.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to make it appear as if it was facing right but looking left at the opposing Pokemon, but I guess that didn't come off well.

There is way too much anti-aliasing. The style for the usual mug-shots is dark outlines and simple shading. Your anti-aliasing makes everything blurry and pillow-shaded which is awful.

dont get me wrong, it kinda does look like its looking left, but the thing is... when u look at it without any zoom or anything, it seems like the pupil is centered... maybe a pixel or so down and left wouldnt hurt it... but its not that much of a biggie...

Well, thanks for the feedback. As far as I know (seeing as I don't know a lot about Photoshop) there isn't any anti-aliasing: the only thing I could think that might make it seem like that is perhaps I used too many shades of colour, moreso around the hair, I think I might have used about 5 different shades, perhaps I went a little too over the top.

Edit: looking over some actual mugs from the games, I've noticed there's a three-colour standard for everything, I'll have to reduce the colour a bit.
Edit2: I've been through and removed some of the un-needed shading, reducing it to a max of three colours for each part.
does it look any better? (The original is on the left, the new is on the right).

Edit3: Made another, following the three colour standard. This time it's the heroine from B/W2.

Can't seem to get the eyes right.
