Cowrie's sprites

Yesh, since my last sprite thread is dead as anything by now...

My pixel-art mood has been rather diminished lately, sadly enough...so I don't have much stuff made since the last time I made a thread here. Well...not much stuff that's normal sprite size, anyways.

(I'll show off a bit of my older stuff as well, just for the sake of showing them.)

First: some of my most recent stuff. I've recently gotten into making pokedolls, since they're a nice change from what I'm used to making.

Here's a few that I've finished for certain:

typh_doll.gif
manectricdoll.gif
charmanderdoll.gif


The charmander one is tiiiiny....

The typhlosion was the first one I made - I edited it from a charizard doll sprite, just so I had a base to work with. The other two are completely custom, though.

Speaking of customs, a few of mine:

carbunkle11sprite.gif


Carbunkle, FFXI version, based off a picture I drew of it. This is actually my newest finished custom that's about the size of a normal sprite.

tsunami_dragonair.gif

nevilleicon.gif


These two are smaller than most sprites, but that's because they were 32 x 32 icons for an rpg I'm in. They're of other people's characters - one's a black dragonair, and the other's a fake pokemon that's like a fire-type rattata (but not quite).

nidoranf_sprite.gif
nidom_sprite.gif


Nidorans female and male - based off some of the old Sugimori art.

A good deal of my other stuff is either requested, or fake pokemon - which I'm not quite comfortable with showing around in too many places anymore...


Next, some other stuff (non-custom, and mostly older than the other stuff):

fire_poochy.gif


Fire-type poochyena. Yeh, the same one that's in my sig at the moment.

comfrey_sprite.gif


Nidoran-m sprite, edited to look like an old character of mine.

quilret.gif


Quilava/furret. This was my first successful fusion, I think... o_O (Done about a year ago.)

cjolteon_recolor.gif


Crystal version jolteon, revamped (mostly). Another old-ish thing, and I've forgotten if I've even shown it off that much ever since I made it. o_O

So...that's it for now. :O

Nice fusions, animations, and sprites in general. 8/10. Nothing that'll wow a veteran spriter, but you can wow those who don't know what spriting means, and that's all that matters. Carbunkle recieves a 9/10. I think he'd look better in his FF8 form, but that's one guys opinion

The dolls are really cute...and I really like the custom and....oh whatever, I like all of them. Hmm *trys to look for errors* I can't find any O.O. Then again, I don't really look closely...

Also, I...must...have....anything.....Quilava!! So can I adopt the Quilret?

Sure you can. ^_^ Just be sure to give me credit for it, okay?


Doh, I forgot about something else I wanted to add to my first post. >_<

This thing:

furretlock.gif


My "locking" (as in thread locking, which I was thinking of when I made this) furret emoticon. Might not look like much of a furret, but then again, furrets and circles don't mix too well.

Of course I'll give you credit, I'm not an evil art thief XD.

I think the furret locking emoticon is really cute, but Furret looks too circular.

Carbunkles awesome, great pose. The dolls are really cute too, the Charmanders so tiny ^_^ And I love the Furret/Locking sprite, are you planing on posting some of your older pixel art?

The furret looks circular because it's based off a circle. ^_^;; And that was done on purpose, as it's supposed to look like a "normal" circular emoticon (though with a tail and ears, heh).

Maybe sometime later...tomorrow, perhaps. I just don't feel like digging through my photobucket account right now to pick out all that I want to show. :/

I'll take you up on that if you like >3

Anyway good stuff as ever, nice to see skilled people surfacing every once in a while.

Thanks. ^^

Anyways, finally went through my photobucket account and dredged up most of the ones I like the most...

pre_mantine.gif
pre_mantine_shiny.gif


A request I got for a pre-evolved form of Mantine - normal colors on left, shiny colors on the right. I based it off of stingrays, and I think I'm going to go back and redo these sprites someday...I like the idea, but these sprites are rather...meh... :/

pikasle.gif


A custom pikachu/plusle mix...

lionpokemon.gif


Another request, for a "lion pokemon" with a scar...

Other people seem to like this one a bit, but it's far from my favorite. :p

iclee_sprite.gif


A friend's ice/grass pokemon, Iclee.

chimeradog.gif


The chimera from the 7th episode of Fullmetal Alchemist.

chickapo_sprite.gif


One of my own fake pokemon (and one that I know I've shown around here a few times already) - Chickapo, a grass/ground parrot pokemon.

unicorn_quilava.gif
striped_quilava.gif
electraquil2.gif


Some old Neopets quilava recolors - unicorn, striped, and electric (yes, even the unicorn is Neopets-related, as that's an old, retired color of theirs). These aren't all the ones I have, but they're my favorites.

cyndaran.gif


My own take on a cyndaquil/nidoran mix.

kamaitachi.gif


A kamaitachi ("sickle weasel"), based on the design from the anime Ushio & Tora (though I found out I got the design wrong, blah). Edited from the first frame of the crystal version quilava animation. I have a much better one in the works at the moment...

This one will be reworked at some point, since the tail and headscythe annoy me.

Wow, just wow. All of them are nearly flawless, but if I should be picky: The Pikachu/Plusles head looks very wierd, you need to smooth it out, and on the Crystal jolteon you need to add more shading. ;381;
 

Cowrie

Kyuu~
With the pikachu/plusle: I think I've tried, actually. ^_^;; I know I was fiddling around with that thing for a while before I thought it looked right.

As for the jolteon: I do agree that it needs more shading - and more things done with the outline, too. That sprite's almost a year old by now, if not that old already, and I was still trying to get the hang of revamps at the time (it hadn't gotten into my head at the time that, hey, I can make up shading if need be!). I would work on it now, if I didn't dread the thought of having to fix all those frames. :p

The Typhlosion dolly is very good but the flames arounnd the neck look odd they normally tilt upwards not down.

Manetric is flawless really it looks official good job.

Charmander is too small so not much detail is in it but its good really.

Carbuncle is good but its front paw looks oddly attached to its leg but I like how you did the tails.

Black Dragonair is good, very good for an icon but the black makes it hard to see the detail.

Fire Rattata is good you used good tones on the flame but, if the flame gives off light the back of the sprite should be lit up.

Nidaran F I love that blue and you have the shading just right.

Nidoran M is outlined with black which is ok for dark spots but for lighter colours it should be a deep purple.

The typh doll's flames aren't meant to be actual flames, anyways. ^_^; They're more like...plush flames, I guess, so that's why they wouldn't go upwards.

As for the fire on the rattata thing...yeah, perhaps. I'm not sure why I didn't add that.

The nidoran-m IS outlined in deep purple. o.o Only about a third of the outline is actually black. I tried adding another, lighter color to it just now, and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. :/ And I can't lighten up the color too much, or the outline will blend too much into the colors I used for shading.

The Fire Poochyena is boring and just looks like a recolor.

The groovy Nidoran is well groovy I like what you did with the ears.

Quilava furret is OK but the tail looks odd either the body should be striped or the tail should be like the body.

The Jolteon is a little to fast and why do the spikes grow near the end.

Furret locking a lock is Kawaii keep it up.

I absolutely love the nidos!!! They are my favorite group of pokemon, and you have sprited them magnificently!!! Well Done, I love your sprites!! Keep up the great work!

I'm too slow when it comes to making new pixel stuff...

jolteonemotes_part1.gif


Jolteon emoticons. These aren't all I'm doing, but they're all the ones I could think of right now.

The sweatdrop on the top right one looks odd - I need to go back and fix that. There's a good chance of me going back and fixing all of them anyways, as none of these emoticons are in their final version. :p

Dude.... I love you sprites... they're soo good.

Carbunckle is my favorite. It's just sooo cute. I also like the Nina Chimera sprite. You make awesome customs. The neopet Quilava things are a bit bright, and they kinda hurt my eyes. The shading on your sprites is really nice. They're all smooth and the outlines are great. The emtion icons are so cute. The sweatdrop one could use a little shading on the sweatdrop, but thats all I see wrong. The custom Pikachu/Plusle mix is awesome, but it's left eye is a bit to low and goofy looking.

Overall, I love your sprites. They're really the best customs I've seen in a while. *huggles Carbunckle*
