[The 100 Mega Shock]

So does this validate stuff that was made before but taken and reshaded the hell out of or what.

 

[Logiedan]

Well, what's expected is that you take an official Pokémon sprite and shade it with a greater palette choice and better shading.
(I'm assuming you mean you take a scratch sprite/repose you made and then you give it an overshade) I'm going to say no, that's not allowed.

 

[The 100 Mega Shock]

An enthralling tale, bro.

 

[Superjub]

I may as well provide some competition (although I know shocks going to win.)

I'm hoping fairly sure it's less than 54 colours. Anyway, here's my entry.


This is allowed, right? XD

Thought this would be a fun little competition so I decided to enter.

The first on is the one I found off the Internet. The second I shaded in Gimp. I hope its okay.

 

[The 100 Mega Shock]

That's waaaay over the 54 colour restriction

 

[Humm96]

hmm sounds fun, never done an over shading before.... well theres a first time for everything! :D brb.. *begins first overshade*

:D its a first...

 

[-ty-]

Overshading Milotic was difficult!

 

[Logiedan]

All entries accepted due to lateness.

And the winner is...

Retribution and his Jellicent Overshade!

The sprite is overall great and the palette choice is wonderful. I love how you saturated it more and I love the way it still looks like the element of official Pokémon sprites is still kept here. What I recommend doing is adding more anti-aliasing at some outlines such as the crown area and the beard.

Honourable mentions...

The 100 Mega Shock's Golurk

The palette choice is marvelous, and I especially love how you have added hue switching. What I kind of disliked is that your marvelous shading made Golurk lose his boulder/stone/block-like structure. Some shading parts it look fuzzy such as its left shoulder area, its fingers and the side of its right foot.

Good luck next WPC, everyone.
