pr!m3's recoloring,splices,and revamping

[Yume Tsuki]

You're not listening.. They still got at few points a bad outline. If the outline doesn't go correct try make an outline by yourself

 

[manomow]

I'm sorry but, these are really the 2nd worst sprites I've ever seen

Also,

Constructive Criticism
This is something that is regarded very highly in this section. It's one thing to say, "I like it" or "Nah, it doesn't really appeal to me", but it's another to add why you don't like it. It's a lot more helpful and allows those who you are critiquing to understand the good/bad points of their work and improve upon them. For a more detailed guide into giving c+c, look [url-inline="showthread.php?t=62480"]here[/url-inline].

Make sure you're following this rule, it helps.

ergh

i have to say ok this one has no problems with the outlines. (might be because it has dark colors) but i still see problems in it it looks good. BUT i seeyou used the lower belly of darkrai and pasted it right on the belly of girantina that makes the sprite look bad.. if you want to paste the tail on a pokemon those have mostly problems that the tail is normally at the back side. If you try to paste the tail on the body it will look bad. But if you pick your pokemons whole body and paste it in front of the tail it looks much better. Still your shartillery's outlines are not there.. while i even gave you a PM with a shartillery with good outlines..

here is regiultima

here is my revamped feraligater the first one is from gold the second one is from crystal

and here is one i just call evelution

 

[= GPR =]

some of the fusions are very choppy in the part where apendiges (sp) meet... that makes them look kinda of sloppy. The recolors are great... but the fusions aren't all that great, or exciting. Keep up the hard work and keep practicing!

 

[Evilyn]

I'll start with the splices/fusions/whatever.

Don't copy/paste everything on, try so scratch some parts yourself.

The outlines are really sloppy at some places and the colors are bad.
The Machop/Mankey has some white spots near the parts where you copy/pasted the legs on. Same goes for Torterra, it looks like someone tried to chop down the tree. The shell is misplaced also.
Dragonite's wings are growing out of it's neck, it'd look better if you'd put them on the back imo. I assume that when you wanted to fuse them there was a black background in Ho-oh's sprite? If you want to get rid of it use the Fill Tool (or whatever it's called in th English version), it'll be easier to get rid of it and it won't ruin the sprite.
The Kangaskhan(sp?) has a bad color pallette *points at Articuno's tail* Oh, and you forgot to get rid of Kangaskhan's original tail.
Kabutops is just plain bad, there are random black spots in the sprite and the outline has too muck black in it too.
The Eeveelution thing would look better if you'd recolor the other parts.

Your "ravamps" aren't revamps, they're recolors. Just recoloring the sprites with the 4th (or 3rd) colors doesn't make them revamps, you have to change the shading as well.
And don't forget to recolor the outline too. Black outlines are terrible, but this doesn't mean that you have to pick purple for Nidoking and make the whole outline the same color, shade the outline too, just take a look at some 4th gen sprites and you'll see.

Practice more.
They aren't very good.

This doesn't really help, you know ;/

here is a redone version of the evelution

 

[Nikko.Ideator]

Here, your sprites are very n00by as of now. No offence, but if you learn the correct technique, I'm sure you'll get it.

For this one, remember not to just drag parts to the sprite. Cut carefully, and make it look nice and clean. Fix the out line, and don't just put arms and legs. Edit other stuff on the sprite. Also, your recoloring was very rushed-looking. When you put new parts on a Pokemon sprite, the shading on the parts and base are different, so you must add new shading for a quality look.

This one looks rushed. You just recolored it (Not very well, remember the shading), and put arms on it. Don't just move parts from sprite to sprite. Make a copy of the sprite you want to get parts from, and take off the part you want, and clean it up before putting it on the base. Also, lots of the sprite's pixels appear removed, so the sprite looks messy.

Okay, the pixels are just messy and everywhere. Edit more, man! Plus, don't just move stuff. And recolor the whole thing in the ned so you don't look like you just made a pixel-y mess! Outlines are messed up if not removed, and the end of the middle leaf is all cut off. Fix up the parts before adding them to the base!

Wrong. The recolor looks ugly, the colors are too seperated. It either looks super-shaded, or too bright. There has to be a neutral color on the pattete. And it appears you moved the wings straight on. Fix it up before moving it. The left wing also looks very messed up. Almost like you moved all the missing outlines missing from your other sprites to make that ugly one there :P.

No, you just resized stuff, moved wings and ribbon everywhere, and rushed-ly recolored it. It looks rushed, like you don't care about it. Treat every sprite like a child. Artists' art is important to them. Remember, you're you're sprites' god. Do you want your creations to suffer ridicule their whole life? Put some love and care into it, man!

It looks messy. All the outlines are gross-looking, and the shading looks 1st gen. If they were, you needed to fix them up. It looks really bad, no offense. You also look like you free-hand resized it. Don't ever do resizing for parts of sprites. Only resize it once the whole thing's done, for special uses of the sprite, and don't ever present anything resized as the original.

Okay, remember the point of a revamp is to make the shading look third or fourth gen, and it failed. The sprite just looks like you recolored the simple pallete, and the whole thing looks bad. Also, if you want to use presentation box,

a.) Put all your sprites in them. They're either used to make sure all your sprites' images are the same size, or something else. But be consistant. Present your sprites the same way.

b.) Your presentation box is ugly. It's hand drawn, and only makes the sprite look worse. Use the square tool, man!

Same as the Charizard. You failed to fulfil the purpose of the revamp, making the shading look futuristic. They look ugly, and the Pidgeot's wing is cut off at the top.

So to sum it all up, don't rush, learn the technique, read guides (Dragonfree's is great), and put love and care into them. Also, make your thread readable. The thread's grammar and format is just bad. Make it look more like a showcase, cause that's what it is, not a "Hey guyz l00k @ my sprites lol don't call me a noob cuz my cusin sed he like dem only say i love them cuz im a noob so be nice 2 me lol", cause I know you're not like that.

I'm not trying to be mean, just constructively responding.

Much better. Three cheers for spriting!
Nothing to say, I really think you're on your road from bad to 100% perfect, now.

what do you all think of these i just figured out how to do the eraser trick

 

[Yume Tsuki]

poor kyogre/dialga... wt dit you do with the shadings!! omg >_< THIS TIME THE SHADING ISNT RIGHT

the legs of groudon/palkia is too bright comparing with the rest of it's body..
Rayquaza/girantina has a very weird shading
Kyogre/Dialga is all messed up with the shading!!

the only one whos good is that groudon torterra mix..

 

[Snowfire]

Rayquaza/Giratina: The sprite itself is okay, it's the shading that needs some work. The bottom part is gray instead of yellow, or did you mean for it to be like that?

Kyogre/Dialga: The shading's messed up... The gray areas on the sprites are supposed to be blue.

Groudon/Palkia: The legs need to be colored appropriately. Like Froslass_Maniac said, they're too bright compared to the rest of the body.

Groudon/Torterra: This one is better than the others because it's shaded, and it's colored appropriately.

Overall, the sprites are good, you just need to work on the shading. Keep practicing, and you'll get better!^^
