*~Best Scratch~*

Magon




I'll add more as I make them (or discover them hidden in the dusty depths of my computer)

I know, Quetzadactyl, Spinogon and Ankyoatl suck. I only put them up here because this may become a history of my scratches.​

Those are good but some need a little work. The muspore, irshroom, and mycad need the most work. Losio could use some work on the legs. Skyurm, Cloudcoon, Dragair, and Lindwurm are the best ones so far. I really like those. Quetzadactyl shouldn't really be rainbow, just 2-3 colors like most pokemon have. But make the colors blend. Also, try not to use to much black outline on all of them

Thanks. Meh, I already knew about Quetzadactyl's shading problem. The ones at the top are really old, back when I didn't know to clean up overlap. :X As for the black outlines, my sprites seem to not look good with color outlines, but thanks for telling me, i'll try to work on that. =)

 

[-Espacio-]

OK, I'll be back to see more!

The shading on sprites differs alot. You've just done lightest colour at the top and gone down, down, making the shades darker and darker. The light comes from the top, so then any bits near to the top need light shading.
The bits that would have shadow need dark shading. Simple?

[Dragon-Chan]

Mmm, I try. I'm not very good at shading, but I try. Thanks for letting me know, i'll try to avoid that in the future.
EDIT: Cheetah..thingies. I did one with the black outline and one without.

What i'm already aware of:
>A pinched point in the tail
>The legs
>The lack of paws (they're supposed to be like that)
The end of the tail is supposed to be "bushy" at the end, like a real cheetah's tail, just so you know it isn't a bulbous mistake.

You really need to fix up the outlines, I don't have much of a problem with any other parts; but the shapes are just kinda bad.

 

[Dragon-Chan]

I'd appreciate it if you said what you don't like about the outlines instead of just saying "They're bad, I don't like them, fix them up." Could you give me an example of what you think is wrong with the outlines of my sprites?

 

[Starter530]

ok then
they really aren't very good
they aren't pokemon style
most of them have all black outlines
the ones who don't have all black outlines have no outline shading
the outlines are jagged and the limbs should be more realistic

Scratching is an advanced form of spriting, try to start with something simpler like recoloring or mixing

 

[Dragon-Chan]

*sigh* Yeah, I know about the black outlines thing. I'm really bad with outline coloration...my sprites all look bad to me in colored outlines. :/
I already do tons of great recolors and mixes, but I just have some trouble with scratches. The scratch tutorials never seem to help me :/

 

[Starter530]

just wait it'll come to you
but i wanna' see some of your mixes!

 

[Dragon-Chan]

Okay....hold on a second.

 

[Mikau]

It might just be me,but the mixes look like cut and paste jobs. Just try alot harder.(like I'm doing now)
