My Recolours.

I guess this is what everyone wanted to say... but didn't. XD

In reality, these sprites are way too bright. And I'm about 100% sure that some of these are just inverted sprites.


If you want me to, i will invert them for you okay?
 
Hm .. Use paint.net .. it's a much better .. and save as PNG then the sprites colors will look better and don't use white for outlines .. outlines have to be black ..

huh? i use just paint more i don't use i also use it to make sigs :P

anyway you really should save them as png if you can't remember it think about PwNaGe REALLY every time you don't save as PNG you get lots of comments about it try to pick up the construcive critism and don't see it as a rival, were trying to help you making better recolors
 
Okay Ive been thinking about how i do my recolors now, so ive made a few new ones. yes ive saved them as PWNAGES. lol.

This one is like a foresty Gible

This Jirachi isnt my best work.

Tell me how im doing!
 
Thank you Very Much! Some postitive Comments are always good to help people keep doing it. Thank you ^_^

Lies. The Jirachi is by far your best work. It shows signs of improvement while your other sprites don't. The color is still not very good, and the shading needs some slight improvement, but it doesn't make my eyes hurt either. Try to move in this direction. You'll only get better if you do.

giratina and azureus look cool, and most of the others are good as well
It would be truly and genuinely better for each and every member that posts on the Pixel Art board if you did not randomly select sprites that you think look "cool" and promote the user to make more of these. Several of the members are trying to bring more originality and talent, and these types of posts don't help.

QFT. Jirachi is the ONLY tolerable one. You've done it nearly right, and it shows that you can do it, you just need to focus more.
 
AHH XD MGS FAN! XD!!

Well Thank you about the Comments about Jirachi. ^_^ Im trying to work towards no eye burning colours.

Im also trying to focus a bit more then just doing them in two minutes. If anyone wants me to make a sprite for them i could do it for them?

Not much to thank anyone about. Yes, you're improving with that one, but it's still only tolerable. You've yet to show any sign of mastery in recoloring sprites, but I suppose you're well on the right track.
 
Okay Thank you for pointing me at the Correct Track.

Do you offer any advice towards this?

My advice is to use Nintendo's colors. Take the colors of another Pokemon and use them to recolor your sprites. You won't even have to worry about picking bad colors.

Yeah sometimes i do that but sometimes i dont. Okay thanks :)

Ill ask a mod to close this thread. Take a break from posting them then make a new thread reposted :)
 
this thread is very amusing to read through. I laugh at blasting that members do (dont forget people, i was part of that blasting too) But really, this is getting out of hand. There's like 50 posts in here, and only three of them are sethcullen's updates.

After seeing jirachi, i KNOW that you can make some good ones! you actually picked good colors, and did a great job putting them in the right places to make the shading work. you followed peoples tips, tutorials (there's some great ones in here by the way) and you actually made something decent! See, i told ya you could do it, it just takes practice!

Now, all of the critism along the way was not intended to be mean or hurtful. If it was, im sure that any one who wrote it did not mean it to be. We just want to see our fellow spriters improve (which we did)... so dont get to touchy! There's a lot that you learned from here. You did a great job improving, and i commend you for that!

I hope to see more (like jirachi)! Keep Spriting!
 
I actually didnt follow anyones tutorial. :)
I just took my time instead of sitting there rushing.

thanks anyways. NO ONE POST IN THIS THREAD. i want it to die so then i can come back with new sprites.

thanks

YES. This is perfect! What I'm talkin' about. Obvious improvement. The Darkrai/Cresselia one is perfect. Bravo!!!
 
Guys, your advice isn't helping anyone. It's sucky, to say the least.

These are an improvement (slightly), but you're still having some of the same problems. At least one of those is still JPG. I can't tell for some of them, but the Azelf is absolutely 100% JPG. You've also used two completely different colors for shades of the same general color. That's not a good idea, because it takes away from the 3D appearance of the sprite.

That being said, the Cresselia and Darkrai are the best you've done so far. However, it's not perfect. The outline hasn't been recolored, and it really needs to be.

Espeon and Umbreon aren't completely recolored. Don't leave parts of a Pokemon completely uncolored especially when it clashes with the original color.

I really want to see you try and go beyond recolors. I don't think you're ready for scratch sprites, but I think you can probably do adequately at simple fusions/mixes.
 
i have tried Fusions before. Eh i did a bulbasaur and a deoxys with the deoxys arms on his bulb.

Thank you for saying about my improvements that means alot to me. If you guys want me to recolor pokemon too see for more improvement tell me.

Oh btw yes azelf is a JPG. i know i forgot.

Eh, not exactly what I meant by a simple fusion. XD

And, I forgot to mention before, I'm glad you started using Ninty's colors. Until you can choose high-quality colors on your own, Ninty's colors should work.
