First Major Revamps

Well, Here's my first revamp attempts with using shading, and actually adding shading I mean =P (I kept SOME of the original shading on Politoed as I actually liked how it ended up looking.) I like the growlithe the most....

the revamps are good but i think growlithe is a lighter shade

Yea, that's what I thought too, but oddly, that is the base growlith color o_O the only lighter one is a yellow orange that is on like 3-3 pixel spots on him xD

They need less dithering and contrast between shades, much more black outlining (currently you appear to have none at all), and some look (and in a few cases are) quite pillowshaded.

Actually, the no black outlines were on purpose, I love the softer look =P, and The pillowshading (I believe you're talking about Tyranitar and Politoed) were there on purpose as well xD Tyranitar because it was a wee bit hard to fit some shading in on him, and it just didnt seem natural to have the rest on color o_O;;

Also, what do you mean dithering/contrast between shades? Those were colors directly from the R/S Sprites, so if they go too fat between colors, that's the original sprites fault, not mine xD

Tbh a lot of the contrast look is probably caused by the all colour outlines, even though I know you said it is your style, black really helps it. But meh, there your sprites. However, I noticed on things like the Eeevee that you've used the lighter outline on places with darker shadow which again, will cause it to look very off.
Part of that problem however could also be caused by the areas where you haven't mabye put in enough shading imo.
And pillow shading generally isn't used much on official sprites which is why I'd recommend against it. Makes them look a bit less profesional.

Yea, I noticed taht with eevee, problem with that was the fact that the darker shade of the outline for some reason ended up matching the darker shade of the actual sprite -.-

Yea, I hate pillowshading, but it's needed at times... (With Light colors, aka politoed) you really can't tell it's there unless you really look, makes his colors blend good o.o

And yea, I suck at shading, which is why I made a new thread, my first attempt at shading xD

Here's all the ones I've done, again, I like no black outline =P

The Pillowshading on Meganium was there on the newer sprite, and it was the only way to blend the flower petals colors xD, and for farfetched, the wings looked MAJORLY unnatural without it >.<

Just showing off mine, xD everyone who revamps does it differently =P Also, a lot of the revamps on that page have WAY too much black outline, there's like no other ciolor present in the outline of some of those...

Just did these:

Cool story.
Meh. The outlines are done wrong, but I can'ttell what it is that that you have done wrong. Like your Growlithe and stuff, they just look weird. 6/10.

stop criticizing about the outline thing, if that is his style that IS his style.
I scratch like that but try to uswe near black clours for outline.
i like them!
