    Er...those don't look very mechanical, actually. They look like pokemon that have simply been recolored to shades of white and gray/green - and not done the best, either, as I can see the outline colors of the original sprites. Except in maybe a few cases, outlines always need to be recolored as well whenever sprites are recolored. I think I see a spot or two on some of those sprites where a color's been missed, also (tip of charizard's tail, for one).

    If you wanted them to look mechanical, then, at the very least, use a more neutral gray for the main color. That light greenish-gray color doesn't give the impression of "mechanical" at all.

    To make them look even more mechanical than that, then...hm...make them seem like they're made out of pieces by putting some lines at various places where things bend on the sprite (like on shoulders, tails...etc). Best example there (though not the best example I would've liked to have) would be like how blastoise's arms and legs look - I know that's how they originally looked, but they're close to what I'm talking about. Perhaps also try to do more things like what's been done on the charizard's stomach - that is, using circles to show stuff like screws.

    Meh...I'd probably have an easier time if I had an example to show instead of trying to explain it, but I don't have any examples on me...not at the moment, anyways.

    Well they were meant to be metallic versions of the originals, and I forgot to change the outlines.

    Ah. In that case, my comment about the color still stands. ^_^ Though to go more in-depth about that - darken the colors a bit, except for the highlights, so that the highlights stand out more. That ought to give a better metallic effect...hopefully.

    I hate the first one. It was stupid to shade the shirt like that. -_- But I'm not going back and changing it.

    Another update to the skittles. Now I just need someone to make the attacks for these 2 poses -_-. https://img344.imageshack.us/img344/751/skittles7qv.png

    The second-to-last pose...the ones with the skittles having their hands in front...makes me think that they're about to start dancing or something. XD

    It either needs more black, or at least a darker color, for the outline. There's also quite a bit of color bleeding that needs to be fixed - around the stripes, the eye, the wing, and various other parts of the sprite.

    Hm...I don't see anything wrong with the two human sprites...those look okay to me. I like the dog thing, though it could use a darker color to outline the highlighted area on its tail. Without looking closely, it looks like that area has no outline. ^_^;; Oh, and the one ear looks like it's backwards...

    Those emoticons...I like the "o_O" ones the best. XD That makes for such a humorous expression...

    • I finished the pre-evo of Pashtun. I think it was DarkPegasus that suggested making it? :\ Anywho, I'm on my way to work now, but I'll post it later tonight. ;)

    And oh yeah, you can see another new scratch of mine below in the MegaDex. Thorcolt, although I need to edit it a little yet. Comments?

    That...could be better. It looks "cluttered", though that's not what's wrong with it. It has the same problem that a lot of beginner's sprites have - that is, the outlines haven't been recolored, at least not for the whole sprite. The suicune "ribbons" and the fire need to have a different outline color...especially that fire, as the bright red doesn't go too well with that gray color.

    Also, the gold headpiece really needs a proper outline around it. Putting a non-outlined thing on an outlined sprite doesn't make it look too good.
