i'll be doing the marill line as an homage to a game i hated

[Bluedodobob]

Here are my Ideas for the Ampharos line, if you prefer Hycrox's, go with them.

 And here are the Houndoom line sprites.

Next draft of Wobbuffet + Back 

 

 

[Hycrox]

I just noticed you wanted to do something with the feet Jan (tbh I didn't really know what to do with them), so I tried to do something nice.

[Hycrox]

 

Yanma with Grape-ish colours

[KmK]

So, I finished misdreavus and spinerak/ariados.

I hope it's not too bad, it's my first time editing a sprite.

If there are ways I can improve, please tell me!

 

And I'm sorry, I don't know how to remove the background...

 

Here is misdreavus:

I already made this one, when I read your comment Jan. About the fact that you want less black shinys. So I made an alternative:

Pick the one you like best.

And one question: am I allowed/supposed to make mismagius right now as well? Because it's a different gen, but it's also an evolution of misdreavus...

 

I was working on this spinerak, when I got a different idea...

I decided to reverse the colours

Again, pick which one you like best. (Though, personally, I like the red one better. I don't like the red on the smiley of the first one).

 

I'll wait for you to approve them, before starting on the backsprites. So, probably tomorrow.

I see! Thank you for help. I feel like it still needs some work but it looks better than before

 

 

This looks WAY better. This is quite the improvement! Try blending the mouth with a gray rather than the brown. It makes it stand out too much. 

I'd also try other colors than brown. Not too sure that it works well here.

I present to thee, the shinies for Espeon and Umbreon!

 

 

If you couldn't tell, I based Espeon's on Luna from Sailor Moon, and Umbreon's on Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. :]

These are extremely well done. Thanks!

Ok here's my first attempt at Corsola (no back sprite yet). any tips? I tried to kinda base it off of bleached coral reefs

 

Edit: It looks a bit different than when I open the file directly, kinda more smoothed?

Unfortunately, there are quite a bit of issues here.

• I like the idea of bleached coral reefs, but I'm not too sure the colors successfully work here. There's a bit of pink left over from the original sprite as well.
• Additionally, it seems like you tried to manually edit the shades using a 1x pixel brush. If you look closely, it makes the pixels look broken up and shattered. 
• There are a lot of needless shades of the same color. It's best to keep this stuff to a minimum for neatness.

Lastly, what program are you using? Just curious because some programs can't go to 2x resolution which is an obvious problem. It's also really hard to keep track of colors that were used. I used to have that problem and it was not a fun time :[

And here are the sinies for Hoothoot, Noctowl and Celebi !

 

The Hoothoot line is slightly based on the snowy owls and for Celebi i just colored it with the blue of the antennas (that a colored in pink because i wanted to give a wink to the official shiny)

So Hoothoot and Noctowl here have quite a bit of coloring/shading issues. It's very hard to discern each shade. It looks like Noctowl is all one

shade. When it comes to shading I like to follow one rule. Is the shading visible when I zoom out? If not, I've shaded incorrectly. 

 

Also, like it was mentioned somewhere... it's pretty similar to Reborn's shiny. I'd like to keep things different.  Perhaps try another color scheme?

 

------

 

Like the above, there are a bit of coloring issues present. These are the results of some tweaking I've done:

So. the first problem with Celebi is that one blue shade was overly saturated. Everything else was quite dull while one blue was -incredibly- bright. 

I think it's best to keep to similar levels of saturation unless you're specifically doing it for shading. I know this works well with red and pink. 

 

The pink was fine for the most part. I just messed with the saturation and the brightness to help them stand out more. 

But you don't have to worry about this as I've went ahead and fixed it for you. So I'll coonsider this one finished.

Heracross guize. Is it approved?

 

(male) (female)

So there are a few color/saturation problems here. Which doesn't surprise me because yellow is a BITCH to work with.

Generally when working with yellow you wanna go towards brown/red when creating darker shades otherwise it comes out like this

gross yellowish-green shade.  You did that for the most part, but the outline is leaning towards green which makes it stand out, and not in the good way.

The goes for some of the shading with Mega Heracross.

 

On the topic of Mega Heracross, I'm not sure Gold and Blue go together... Perhaps trying another color? Preferably not pink because we have like 10 gold/pink shinies at this point. 

 

LASTLY, I went ahead and created a fixed version of that heracross for reference, but I also made a red version. I kind of like the red, but what do you prefer?

Hi,

I created an account specifically so I could create a shiny.

I'd like to do misdreavus and spinerak/ariados.

Hello! Welcome ^^'! Noted!

hey, i know it doesnt has to be shiny with sparkles and stuff, but i find it all dark coloured shiny's

like the chinchou is "shiny", not dark.....

the noctowl line is dark

but hey, that just my opinion, great work ether way

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I would also be inclined to agree with all the dark colored shinies. Mostly black.

I'm trying to stray away from using black too much from this point on. Which is why I created a brighter Chinchou.

@Jan Thanks for the tips!

 

Yours is definitely better so I went ahead and did Lanturn.

 

  

Oh wow, thanks! These look really nice. I can see your improvements with resolution already. Nice job!

Just saying this now, but I would love to do the Murkrow line.

 

I PMed you before, but here is Murkrow (Haven't done the female version yet, but yes, I did do the backsprite too)

 

 

Yeah I saw the PM, sorry about that. I tend to get distracted and forget to reply, but I did read it. Perhaps change the beak color, though? If nothing works

better than this, that's fine. I'll just accept as is.

Not sure I like the red too much on Ampharos... Perhaps use blue instead? 

----

Houndour's line is... good, but those spots need a ton of work. They are too square. you're going to rough these out to make them look like actual spots

and less like cubes. 

If it gets to be too much, removing the spots is a viable option as well.

I think these were a step in the right direction. If you base the colors somewhere around here: 

They'll be perfect. Don't forget to change the outline's color when editing sprites! They only change a small amount, but that can mean a huge difference!

These aren't bad! Especially for your first time. One thing though, please save these images in PNG instead of JPEG because JPEG ruins the quality a lot.

I can't even save the file to take a closer look, thus I can't point you in a good direction.

 

Though I will say that the golden Misdreavus is probably my favorite. Also I like the red Spinarak as well. So I'd continue with that!

 

As for Mismagius, I'd say just go for it anyway. To keep things consistent. 

 

 

Sorry if I missed anyone. I had to catch up on a -LOT- 

 

Keep it coming guys!

Also made Swinub and Piloswine into shrubbery

 

Mamoswine would have flowers XD

also, you marked sentret/furret/ledian as might gai's

I SEE YOU MIGHT GAI

 

 

But seriously, Might Gai does a great job with the sprites as well, so it is completely understandable if you get confused with our sprites.

I'm sorry, I had no idea jpeg ruins the quality.

Here you go, in png this time.

And I'll remember it for the future.

 

p.s. I just wanna say, I love the game. Personally, I play it for the story. But I also like the fact that it's more of a challenge. Keep up the good work!

p.s.s. One last thing, I love your design for the chikorita line.

I like the colors a lot, though if you're going to go for flowers, then spriting actual flowers would probably be better than just dots.

That was my fault. q~q. You two have similar styles (Which are excellent) and I got confused. Fixing now.

I forgot to reply to Blissey and Igglybuff but I saw them and they are approved. Everything is a-okay. 

 

Okay, marked down!

Yea I was just manually editing the pixels in paint (cringe) but I don't know what else to use that has a good colour replacement tool.

also am I just being blind? I can't see any pink in it...

if the colors themselves aren't good, I'll try think up a different colour scheme or two to try instead with a better program once someone suggests one.

I use graphics gale. Im not an expert on it, but Im using it because it was suggested in the previous thread for making shinies for gen 1. Ame has some videos on youtube to explain how it works.

LASTLY, I went ahead and created a fixed version of that heracross for reference, but I also made a red version. I kind of like the red, but what do you prefer?

The outline in the left one stands out a little, just a little, bit more that I'd like, and that's what I tried to avoid in my version (but yes, a second look shortly after the sprite was made made the outline problems clear for me, but then I had to do other stuff). But I really liked the red Heracross. Therefore, I made the sprites match that colour scheme:

 

(male) (female) (male) (female)

 

About Mega Heracross, I couldn't decide on what colour would look better with the red, so I'm gonna leave that to you:

 

 

Also, Yanma backsprite:

 

 

If all is good then I want Gligar and the Quaggy line

 

 

[Dreamy]

OK I got GIMP and worked out how to colour replace, And tried out a sort of fire-inspired Corsola.

Ok Here's the backsprite. Red matches the front colour palette I believe, but I also tried an orange one. not sure which looks better

Edited January 15, 2017 by DreamblitzX
