These are neat! Very good representation of the 2nd gen style. I've always loved that sorta derpy, "not quite like the Sugimori drawing" appeal that the 2nd gen sprites had, and I think you captured that very well - in a good way! I'm not on my computer so I can't really give you any in-depth criticisms, but the little sandcastle guy should be facing the other direction. That's all for now! I hope you decide to make more of these, they're really cool! 8)
Thanks for the comment :)
Yeah, the pose for lil Sandy was an area of concern from the start, I wanted to differentiate him from the bigger one but with a limited space and palette it was a bit of a challenge, so I tried to do a reverse-facing pose like Larvitar and Misdreavus have in gen 2 but it didn't go to plan haha. I'll redo him eventually and make a new pose.
Got a few updates today, three I done yesterday and one I've just finished
Tangrowth and Vigaroth. Tangrowth is using Marril's palette, it looks weird on my work monitor, but I think that's technical.
Carbink, which was done on said monitor, so I'm not sure how the actual palette comes across haha
And the lil sea cucumber (I forget its name). Not a massive fan of it's design but I really like the innards out aspect, which I tried to reflect in the sprite
Additional Update:
Just got done with this little guy. For a ball shaped Pokemon he was surprisingly hard. Considering doing Poplio next.
First Post updated.
Update on the update
Just realised I used 5 colours in the first Rowlet when for Gen 2 style there should only be 4, as such, here's the gen 2 proper version.
