I-I've been busy lately *trips over copy of Zelda:Botw* S-Sorry, was holding that for a friend. Anyway, let's get started. Unfezant is good. Foongus is taken, though. I think I'm just going to use the Tympole line without the logo. Hm, the yellow is good, but I dunno how I feel about the whole thing being yellow. It's a little plain. Try adding a color to the bottom of the sprite, maybe? These look really awesome, and the Team Skull Scraggy/Scrafty are pretty awesome too. Keep it up! The idea is cool, but it's also still a little plain. Not sure what to suggest here. Does anyone have any suggestions? Time Gears are approved! *Thumbs up emoji* Looks good to me ! I like the second one more, personally beautfiul. approved. Approved! Perfect!! Approved! Looks good so far! I think we should stay away from bright colors with Purrloin. T he way the sprite was made makes it very hard to make it look passable. (This is because the original shading was done with darker colors, so it didnt need too much shading) Approved. Hm... I'm not sure if I'm too fond of this color scheme. Perhaps try another one? This is a really pretty concept! I like it a lot! This is pretty good! All I need is a backsprite. No worries. An update was all I needed! Good luck. @Jan, i re-colored purrloin and liepard with some dark colors, how about these?

Only thing is the black outlines inside of the blue fur on the back stand out a lot. You should make them lighter so that they don't stand out as much. 22 hours ago, Trevore said: It works much better than before! I'll go ahead and get started on the backsprite for Sawk.

Felcatty Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 To be honest Jan I couldn't choose (again...), however since there are so many red sprites the last one definitely stands out to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felcatty Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 @Amine elhedhili I think the blue is really harsh on the eyes, try lowering the saturation a bit (make it a bit duller), there's also shading loss particularly on Liepard. Just curious, what program do you use (if you've said before sorry for not noticing)? Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazaro Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Somewhere along the line on this Purrloin line, you lost the outline on the eyebrows (on both sprites) Just putting it out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Dreamy Posted March 9, 2017 Global Mods Share Posted March 9, 2017 Sorry if it's not my place to post this, but if you want an example of what the good people above me have said, maybe something like this? (though it does seem a slight shame to have the body and the eyeshadow part be almost the same colour) The easiest way to match the shading on a base sprite is to use a program which allows you to select all pixels of a certain colour, and then replace those with another colour.

Hi @Felcatty, Jan said its better to use some darker colours, so i chose those colors, can you tell me what do you mean by shading loss? thanks in advance for the tips^^ as for the program, i'm using paint (still learning how to use Graphics gale) Edited March 9, 2017 by Amine elhedhili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felcatty Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) @Amine elhedhili Sorry if I'm not specific, that really is my fault. Take a look at DreamblitzX's example above your post to see if it gives you any ideas. I don't mean brighten the colours just reduce the saturation from 255 because that blue you've used, while I'm not disagreeing that it's a dark colour it just hurts the eyes a bit. So instead of having a really high saturation, head towards a more a greyish blue by gradually lowering the saturation bar (This will probably make more sense when I explain Graphics Gale below). As for shading I think the best way is to show you. Let's take your Liepard and compare it with the original sprite: If you look carefully you might be able to see some shadows (a darker colour) on the original Liepard's stomach and rear leg(s), yours has one block colour causing the sprite to appear as though there is no shadow on the pokemon. So what I'm really trying to say here is that shading = a pokemon's shadow. For the most part, without a shadow effect, the sprite could lose a lot of detail and features. I found Graphics Gale quite a fun program to mess around with. This is a video on Graphics Gale by Ame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUmeQbY7sP0 (if you don't want watch the video) all you need to do is find: All Frames (at the top) -> Color Depth... ->Dither From here you can mess with different colours and by using the HSL bar located under your colour set you can freely change colour, saturation, and brightness Here's what I see when I do these steps (HSL bar included) with your Liepard: I also right click on the image using the pen tool, that way I don't make a mistake about which colour I want to change. I'd recommend taking a bit of time just messing around with program itself, after that restart the sprite and try implementing the colours again. I know it's time consuming to restart but it's definitely worth it to take in a new perspective and start fresh as well as to make sure you didn't miss anything. See how you go I was really trying to make this not sound like a lecture, I think I failed . Hope I gave you an idea though. Does anyone else want add anything I may have missed?

Siragon Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Okay, i hope i didn't put too much of a challenge on this one... Without further ado, here comes Rainbow-Alomomola ! P.S. : I know the stripes aren't really well placed with each others, but it's only a first draw, to see if it looks good or if i should go for something else. I'm pretty confident that i can finish it but i'd like some advices before going further on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felcatty Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) @Amine elhedhili That blue is definitely more easy on the eyes, you can even make it a little darker if you want to show off those dark colours, I think the main aspect now is shading. I find blue a tricky colour to work with regarding shading since you don't want it too dark that the shading becomes black, however there are areas where you shading could be darker so that it becomes more noticeable. There's also still shading loss on it's rear right leg but you're definitely getting there, keep it up Also I don't have a lot to do so if anyone needs help, I can help out as well Edit: Like DreamblitzX did below, I also tested a few colours for Alomamola, here are few that could work: Spoiler I think Alomamola just needs simple colours and nothing too flashy, I also agree with what DreamblitzX said below, that teal could be a very good colour on Alomamola Edited March 10, 2017 by Felcatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
