Hey guys. I have been spriting for quite some time and I think I need some crit. So here are some of my best sprites.

Scratches

This is all I could find in my Photobucket account.

Alright. I like the Riolu edit.

That's not crit. It's a simple, one-liner comment that doesn't show what you like about it, and what can be improved.

Well, I like the Riolu edits also, mainly the dark one for the patterns that you used. But besides giving it claws and a bit of a hooked tail, there wasn't much changed about it. The Psychic one just has a ring and some aura around it.

I'm not saying these are bad, I'm saying that they're very simple for retypes. You need to completely redo some parts of the body, change things, add different colours, maybe even change the pose a little, and how the body parts are positioned.

The Sunflora, I don't even know what you fused with it, because it's just a recoloured Sunflora. To fuse, you must include other parts of the Pokemon. Like, the arms, or legs, or a tail, or maybe fuse both of the heads together. That's what a real fusion is.

The scratch is really cute, especially the eye, which I think was done rather well, but it's way too small. You can barely see the feet, or the detail of it because a small sprite leaves little room to give detail.

I do like the scratch sprite, I think that it was done rather smoothly, and the shading is decent for such a small sprite. Although I'd love to see a larger version of it.

Basically everything was said by LSA. But she forgot something about the scratch sprite.
NEVER USE PROFILE!
The sprite is turned at a complete sideways angle. Although it allows the viewer to see the body of the sprite, it's harder to capture lighing that way. Make the sprite facing the opposing pokemon someway(assuming it's on the battle screen), that way you can capture the light better, get a more 3d feel to the sprite, and let the sprite look better.

Thanks guys for the crit. I'm working on a Pikachu/Riolu fusion. My two favorite pokemon. The fusion was with Typhlosion. It was on of my firsts so I see why it sucks. My next scratch is going to be bigger and more of an angle. I never really thought about that.

It's okay, although I notice that you didn't scratch anything. You just put on Pikachu's ears and tail, and gave the Riolu a yellow colour. You missed out the red cheeks, which is pretty much a must for Pikachu fusions. And as well as that, all of the markings and patterns are identical to Riolu's.

Remove the markings areound the body, add those two brown stripes that Pikachu has, and maybe round the fact a little and give it Pika's eyes instead of Riolus. ^__^

^I like your "Grass" contest entery....however I'd use Landmin's flower over Bella's.
Then again, that's me for you.

And it was pretty much said which three grass pokemon he used- or is it now suddenly 4 grass types?

Work on scratching- cut and paste doesn't always work, and work on editing too. Part of the problem with the Pikachu-Riolu is the eye is to small and offcenter of where it should be, plus the mouth is on wrong considering Riolu has a [/i]muzzle[/i] more than a simple mouth.

There's also a sprite Tutorial thread. It will help you wonders.

Thanks. I'll use it.
 
Hmm....it doesn't look like to recolored anything on the splice for the WSC. It looks good, but the arms are hidden so you can only see flowers. It's kind of weird.
 
I like your scratch although it is too small and should be facing the oppontent (like when they battle in game).

Your Sunflora/Typholsion is more of a recolor than a fusion.
I like the Rilou/Pikachu and the 3-way grass fusion they are both good.
The retyped Rilou should have more changes than they do, although they aren't bad.
Overall I think you are good.
