um sorry, I wouldnt call these high quality at all X.X

Never use black outlines on the entire sprite, it makes it look horrible.

Keep working on these o_O

They're... okay. =P SAVE AS PNG. =P

When you recolor sprites, you can recolor the borders without making it all black. =P Your revamps are just recolors, and your fusions (especially Celebi/Jiraichi) are VERY cut and pastey.

Not really "High Quality", but you can work on it. ^^

(I smell something funny... maybe someone trying to increase postcount... points two posts above this one)

Your mixes... are bad. What's up with the incredibly long neck of the Meganium/Typhlosion mix (Typhlo base)? And where'd that random shade on the neck come from? *Sigh* To tell you the truth, your mixes are good examples of common copy/paste work. You shouldve scratched Meganium's head onto the Typhlosion body, or at least left it off. And your Feraligatr one lacks good shading, and the head just proves my point of you having copy/paste work. Improve on the mixes a lot; do this by practicing the art of scratching.

Your Ho-oh and Lugia revamps (assuming that they're revamps) need shading... and Lugia's tongue needs a real color. Then, they'll be good.

Don't think I'm trying to be mean.. I'm just giving crit.

I smell JPG! ARG :)

Do not use full black outline as you have done on some, it makes the sprites look plain and by using at least two diffent colours in the outline it breaks the outline up.

With the pokemon on this one:
GreyackAttacksCard.jpg
the shading is very poor, there is none on the wings and what shading there is in not up to a good standard.

With the end one on this set:
3Starters.jpg
whats with the body? It looks like you've given it an extended neck then given it a lump for a back! These are very poor quality.

Coronis sprites without credit? Plus the text is hard to see!

o_O i forgot to tell you, i call them high quaility since i work PIXEL BY PIXEL and i take care of every detail, the JPG and the bad shading was before
1:i dont know the difference from JPG and the others, the shading is that i was still new to Sprites, the banner, same thing and Coronis sprites where when i was a famous sprite stealer for nother site, and i waesnt part of Serebii.
OH AND PEOPLE, sorry for the double post, it was an acciddent, the Recolors shading was because i dint know much of shading, and the darkest color i colored them of the darkest color of the sprite i was revamping, THE OTHERS SPRITES ARE NOT C+P execpt the Feraligatr, but i actually did some scartches on the other 2, and C+P is just to copy, paste and save, i dint do that, oh and sorry for the long neck, and also, most of the sprites are old, The Newest one is the first 3.
The Celebi+Jirachi+MEW one i must recognize it is kinda C+P and it is really crappy, Anyways thanks for the Critics

Your shading lacks good detail. Just because you work pixel by pixel, doesnt mean that your sprites are high quality. It just shows that you're capable of using the pixel pencil tool.

But anyway, your Kyogre animation isnt that great, because you copied a frame; thus, it appears that Kyogre is going into the water, then rewinding time and doing it again (I didn't explain that right)

In your Groudon animation... the rock should be blocking the sun when it's coming down; thus, this should change the Groudon's shading for those particular frames.
 
Dude, thats a load of crap.
I see many things worng with these, so these don't deserve the title of "high quality".

The revamps are recolors, you didn't color the outline, and the shading on them looks horrible. ALso the fusions are horribly copy-pasty and the only scrtached stuff on them is all black T.T
As for the shadow don't make their outline compltely black. and the shading on them is supposed to be dark purple, not black/slate.

Everyhting else you put up is terribly easy. Try putting a little more effort into your sprites next time.

Don't claim your artowkr is High quality, because if you worked pixel by pixel, they would be a lot better.

Off topic: Wasn't he the liar who falsely claimed he submitted the idea for Dairuga and Parukia?

i dont copy a frame, if you looked good, kyogre gets to the bottom, then it remains of the surface and jumps again.
For Groudon sorry for that remeber that i dint know much about shading and things like that in those times.
But really saying shading is really complicated and much for experts, im not saying im one, but i allways forger shading

...you will notice that i said that every sprite WAS OLD...

Don't use that as an excuse for inexperienced sprites... if they're so old and you don't want good crit on them, then don't post them.

And after looking at your Kyogre animation about 10 times, I still don't get what you're saying, but whatever.

I don't mean to be rude but, excuses don't wash with people on here.

Go back to your old sprites and improve them, make the shading better, make people think "WOW!" If these are old sprites, why post them? Post new sprites.

Wow, I wish I was as 'inteligent' as you. If you don't want crit, please don't post your sprites. Oh, and your sprites can't be old, they're 4th gen. That's less than a month ago. Now back to some other things I've noticed since I first posted...

1. When groudon's animation moves over, he moves right magically and his name shows up slowly.

2. Feraligatr's... stomach thing is very strange and isn't very well shaped.

3. Lastly, your 'scratch' has Houndoom horns, it seems. I don't know if you claimed it to be scratch or not, but alot of people are calling it that.

the Groudon thingie was my error, the sprites are from order of how old they are, the one in the top is hte newest and the one in the bottom are the oldest, feraligatr is crappy, the fakemon is really A FAKEMON OLNY THAT I MAKED HIM WITH MIXES SINCE I DINT KNOW HOW TO MAKE THAT, oh and i sudenly noticed Sceptiles legs, and Salamence's wings ¬_¬
 
Look dude, if you highly recommend average sprites, expect spammers to pop in and say those aren't as good as you said. :) Even if they are old, that's no excuse. Honestly, you post them so we can give them full crit. If you don't want that, and you KNOW your old sprites need work, don't post them. The Revamps should be shaded more carefully, the mixes are too copy/pasty, you used Coronis' sprites without credit, and the animations need to be shaded better. Other than that though, they aren't high quaility yet, but you're getting there. Just practice a little more, and show us more recent sprites, that you think are good. ;)
