Ok Chesu, so... i've always been wretched with back sprites... and after three hours of farting around with this, i have something presentable... by no means am i saying that this is ready to go into a game, but it's a start!

So, as you know, i LUV my fakemon Milodos. My alltime favorite!

using your method of flipping the sprite and enlarging it, i then redid the outline, entirely whited out the portions, and reshaded the sprite... i started with the neck portion, then did the tail portion second...

So then i just layered the tail onto the neck portion, and voila! (It's coiled up near it's base, so that is why the tail is so close to the neck...

Now, i know that the shading is still VERY CHOPPY and boxcut. There are also alot of jagged points, but still, how would you rate this?

Thanks!

Hrm... Would anyone be interested in a tutorial on FR/LG-style establishing shots? An establishing shot is something used in film to introduce the audience to the setting of a scene, before focusing on the characters.

Even though it looks like a big, complicated image, it's actually pretty simply-drawn, and uses the same number of colors as Pokemon and trainer sprites. So, would anyone here be interested in a tutorial on the subject, or is it too obscure?

Lookin' good! The outline does look really bumpy, especially on the neck, but that's not a sticking point as the sprite isn't finished yet. There is, however, one problem with the design itself. Where the tail originates at the bottom of the sprite is way too close to the visible potion of the body... The body is too thick to twist enough to pull off that pose, so it seems like the sprite below what's visible is being squished. You should move the base of the tail as far to the left as you can.

OMG YES ESTABLISHING SHOTS DO IT DO IT NOW

Wow, I wasn't expecting to get much of a response... and especially not such a positive one! Alright then, I'll get to that when I have the time.

I like it, I think it would be neat to learn how do create scenes like that.
 
I think I'll cover three locations in the tutorial... A building viewed from the base, an interior shot of a forest, and an exterior shot of a cave.

edit: I've started work on the first part, the building. Everything in the image below is from scratch, and I'll go into detail on how to draw it all in the tutorial.

Here's to hoping the building turns out as good as the background!

The shading is laid on a little thick around the bottom of the sprite's body, and it looks like it has a foot coming out of its neck, but that aside it's good. It's not often you see a green armadillo! One thing, though... You should try making the eyes a bit rounder.

You deserve these, Chesu. Great tuts!

Sorry for eye-sore green and yellow. Will change.

Wow, these tutorials are awesome. I've always admired some of the good custom sprites in ROM hacks, and now I can try my hand at making my own!

Oh, and...YOUNG MAD SCIENTIST DEXTER wants to battle!
