GP's Art

[= GPR =]

the jacket just seems like it needs a lighter shade blue on the left of the sprite...
other than that it looks good and the pants' shading are fine

as for the gyrados' i still think they look awesome haha..

thanks! i never really noticed that! hm... i could go back in there and change the shading... i probalby will after i finish some of the other stuff i've been doing lately.

As for the gyarados', thank you anyhow! i appreciate it!

First off, i made a new question mark animation!

Nothing great... i know, but now it shall be used to cover up my new work until i am ready to post it!

this is another little one i made... not sure what i'll use if for... maybe to warn of a horrible sprite or something...

and a mark martin quicky one i made! again, nothing great... it honestly took like ten minutes to make...

They look... drawn. You should've cleaned up the outline a little. A simple Highlight + Base Color + Shadow shading would've been nice too, and probably wouldn't have taken too much more time to recolor for the animation frames.

The shapes are nice, though. :D

At the moment.. it's kinda hard to call them sprites. Technically, I think those would be considered graphics.

they were just quick little time killers... i had nothing better to do but to draw them... and practice putting together animations... i'll never use them... maybe the ? mark...but that's it... i'm not really gonna go back and spice them up...

 

[Gary the Magic Fairy]

Yeah, I wasn't really expecting you to go back and fix them up, just giving a few comments. XD

I do like that question mark. I've tried spriting one before, and it always turns out awkward and uneven. Yours looks really nice. I like how it indents at the bottom near the dot.

The car's pretty nice for a quickie too. Especially for only taking 10 minutes or so on it. XD

Here it is! The spite that i entered into the april fool's contest! It's sooo cute!

Spoiler:

Cute...HA! Fooled ya! Watch as the banette devours teddy's soul!

Hope you all like it!

Nice one GP, I really like the animation in the teddy sprite!
Only while the animation starts to change into the bannete, you should have added some more shading.
I think a bigger pallete will fix that problem, but really I think you did a great job on that one!

Well thankyou Crosell! (i'm all giddy and smily...hehe) i despise the shading... it's choppy, cut up, and quite frankly makes no sense in some places... but care not! it was a lot of fun to make! i haven't enjoyed making a sprite as much as this one in a while! i still like the outcome!

The Snorlax Pokedoll and the Stuffed Animal Bear changed into a Banette are the best you have here. I'd say those things are A work compared to the rest which in my opnion is mediocre.
You should make things in that style of spriting :)
I hope I don't sound rude...because I'm not being it. :)

 

[<~F.M.P~>]

I also agree I love the Banette Bear transformation, but I don't think everything else is mediocre, He's a pixel artist so all His stuff wont all be like the banette Bear.

I do... >flashback<

ooh! i see you worked on skoul! it looks excellent! i think your decisicion to sprite it like that was a good one, the body has a nice flow to it. i also see you took my idea to the evo! ^_^ they both look great!

rall looks like it could be a prevo to my spinum ^_^

great job on all of these!

Keep Spriting!

>back to reality<

Awe! Thankyou! It looks great! As a matter of fact, i like it better than my own! I'm honored that someone made a fan art out of one of my fakemon! Well, thanks HFI! The gesture is greatly appreciated!

edit: ...duh...forgot to crit...

I like the pose! It looks great at that angle, and the anatomy looks just right! Really, the only things that i can actually "crit" on this sprite is the outline's coloration at the lightspots... but besides that... i LUV it! I think it's beautiful, and i am so grateful that you made it!!!

sorry, i almost missed you! anyhow...thanks? I actually have to disagree with you... since i'm entitled to my United States 1st Amendment right... i don't think the banette stuff is my best... the pokedoll is a bit messy in the shading and stitching...and the animation has MAJOR shading faults...and even worse is the fact that i'm sitting here forsaking my own work...so now i'm gonna shut up...

Thanks FMP for your comment...

Sorry guys, i'll have my new stuff up soon!

I "misplaced" my flashdrive... unfortunately it has all my newest work on it...

Wow, loving all this stuff. The guitarist is especially awesome! Only thing I guess you could improve a tiny bit on is shading. Maybe its just me, but not all your sprites are shaded really well. Don't get me wrong, they're good, but I think if your shading just a bit better, these would all be incredible.

 

[= GPR =]

It's funny you say that. I know exactly what you mean. I know what to look for in shading. I am able to tell people when the shading is wrong, but when it actually comes down to it, i can't do the shading right myself... does that make me a hypocrit? i don't know...

I wish i could get the shading down, i just need to keep studying up on official sprites. Furry sprites, round sprites, and cylindrical sprites are my downfall when it comes to shading.

Currently i'm looking at ekans, dragonair, milotic and some custom sprites to get down the right form of shading of cylindrical pokemon... all so i can perfect my milodos.

From there, i have yet to reshade lance's jacket...

Then i will probably go back and redo orelect, then oreod...

but i'm getting ahead of myself. Thanks for the comment and the critisism. I appreciate it mucho. (look at that incorporation of spanish...A+ for effort...)

As i always say,

Keep Spriting!

Haha. Ya, you're already good at shading, you just have certain aspects of it (like the ones you said) you need a little bit of work on. I really look forward to seeing you get even better, the sprites will be awesome.

Thanks Jackson! Appreciate it greatly!

Ok, i redid Lance Layer, what do you all think?

old ->

(new edit by me)
Notice the hair has another tone, as well as the jacket. There is more variation among the sleeves, and the shoulders have more depth. As for the neckline, notice how the shirt's curved now.

Also, reshaded the guitar, it looks worlds better now!

(original)->

(new edit by me)

First, the coloration: I matched the tones up, essentially creating a new color pallette for all the blues. You can tell since there's no sharp contrast between the medium shade and the dark shade.

I recolored the crest, and redid some of the outline, as well as the inner outline where the middle crest meets the far left.

I also added more color into the outline of the body. As well, i attempted to make the body more "rounded", but adjusting the outline and the shading as well. I removed that point just above the right wing, and rounded the top portion of the body, just before the striped tail...

What do you guys think? You like them? Why or why not?

 

[Jαcκςση]

Much, much better on the shading. The.. dragon¿ looks much more natural. Great job!

 

[= GPR =]

OMG!!! 199th reply!!!

Thanks Jackson! Anywho, did i get the shading down like what you were thinking? I lightened the strumming shoulder, but idk, what do you think? do i need to change anything else? or is it good as is?

BTW, thanks everyone for helping my thread reach the milestone of 200 replies...who's gonna be #200?...GO!

i appreciate everyone's responses and good intentions.

Keep Spriting!
