Blue Star's Sprites

Well, I had to do this one time or another, so here I am.
Pathetically, I discovered MS Paint just about three days ago ._.
This, of course, means that I just began spriting, so don't be surprised if they aren't immaculate. Btw, I give credit to Locke Yggdrasill for inspiring me to sprite. It was his Final World Map Thread that got me into the swing of things.
Here I go:

My first sprite ever, the Silur Region. I created this specifically for Locke's thread:

Second, my profile picture:

Third, the button in my sig advertising my upcoming poem titled "Atlantis:"

Fourth, the other button in my sig, linking to this thread:
MyS.png


Fifth, the Movan Region:
EM2.png


Sixth, the Suicune Region:
SMD.png



So, am I off to a good start?
Also, rating this thread would be appreciated, unless you're going to fool around and give me one star.

used Metronome!
The region is a bit off, in that the edges are very weird, and that the shape in general is quite odd. The routes seem to come far too close to the edges as well... For just starting off, it's not bad, but as far as maps go, you need some work.

Yes, I agree that the edges do need to be smoothed out, and the shape is like that because I made it out sheer boredom, and I wanted to spice things up a bit. As for the routes, I meant for them to touch the sides, though it does look a bit odd. Thank you for your review, but what do you think about my other sprites?

Well, I'm not much of a critic, but I have to say that they look really good! Like Locke said, the map is fine. The other two are really unique. I quite like them! Look forward to seeing more.

Wow! These are awesome for a first try at spriting, I look forward to seeing more of your work, oh and the map is fine, it could be smoothed out a bit, but that's not necessary, so I wouldn't bother.

Thanks for the comments everyone. As you can see in my sig, I've done another sprite. It's kind of plain, but I like buttons. And I'll probably have another, larger map done soon, with realistic island shapes. I'll also be fixing the other map, eventually.

EDIT: I've finished editing the other map. Here it is:

They're awesome, I love the maps, your profile pic and the other two small pics are simple yet incredible. Great job!

I think that all the cities should be one color and all the towns being another color. You have three different colors for the cites/towns. Otherwise, the maps are good.

Your pixel art really needs more work. Try to use three colors at least for shading, and don't just randomly dither your grass. Try to make outlines with a dark color (not black. like for your mountains, use dark brown.)

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Theneedleman: I used this template:

zuloon: Thank you for your suggestions, but I have yet to fully understand shading, and how do you propose I go about fixing my grass?

Once again, your sprites look really good BS.

Note: BS, I'd pm this to you, but that's just the problem. You're pm box is full and I can't pm you. Clean it out, please. ^_^

Ah, finally, that map I've been working on is finished:
Movan
EM2.png

I think it still needs some fine-tuning though.
