I hope you're not trying to make a seriously good sprite, because if you are, I'm sorry but this is absolutely horrible. I'll critique only once I know if it is serious.

Okay, it just didn't load on my end.

Now I can see it, and i agree with Electabuzz and AuTUMN x. Total crap.

JPGefied, spliced horribly, and out of proportion. Read the tutorial sticky.

Electabuzz- No I am not trying to make a seriously good sprite, besides it was done in 10mins 9Or maybe a bit more) So It was kinda rushed and was only done because I was bored.
Kauser- I hate it when the net doesn't laod properly huh? Stupid little conntections. Anyway back to your review, I will try better but hey it wasn't supposed to be good, more like a freak;)

Autumn- Believe me that is not harsh, I seen and heard and been through harsher things, trust me, that just minor words to me that makes me wanna do better.
I made the crappiest Pokemon alive, maybe I should change the topic, the crappist Pokemon to ever exist, worse then the Red/Yellow/Blue sprites (Althought some of those might not match it)

Hmm, you know that Articuno in your sig? It's way better, If I tried doing that it probably look crap as well, I haven't always been that good with art, you should see me trying to draw a face, Or an animal, I can draw a Voltorb alright (Who can't really?) but some of the other Pokemon I can't. I am probably maybe one of the crappiest artist, I wish I had the creative skill like everyone here, because Art is sort of like writing a story, it allows you to express yourself doesn't it? And I have gone off topic sorry.

SAVE THEM AS .PNG!
Its simple, just a re-colour..
But I guess its better.
Read the spriting tutorial...
Hopefully that'll help =/.
But keep trying <3.

Okay, so how should I improve it?, and yeah, it's not the time it's me, it's always me, I am the reson why I lose so many people, I am the reason why i fell in love, I am the reason...Nevermind..
So do you want to look at this recoloured sprite? Is it good?

Stop saving 'em as JPEG, SAVE AS PNG. XP So anyways I'll just comment on that recolored Articuno. It's not that good. >.>;; The shading and outline was ruined. And really, imo, you don't need to be an artist to sprite. You just need to read turtorials and practice, but being a little artistic helps of course. XD

Right, need to remeber that, What the difference between PNG and JPEG again? I thought PNg sometimes has the picture make some loss of color.

Okay. So mix my own colours? Okay, um Paint is the only thing I have too, I think i have a program that called Image colour? But I am not sure how to use that.

PNG may lose a couple colors, but JPEG well... JPEGifies them. 0_o

It makes them get little pixels that increase the colors by about 200. 0_o

...Not sure. But all I know is PNG is the best for sprites.

You don't need another program, just go to Colors > Edit Colors > Define Custom colors. Then, ta-dah, you can make your own colors.

okay, I will take this advice and the tutorial, I got a alot of things to do if I want to be a good artist.

Edit: Okay, it could be a start but to me it doesn't look different from the Christmas Articuno

Okay so i used my own colours and saved in PNG and some others, I kept most of the outlines there as well. It is a little better or worse?
By the way, how do I get rid of the white?

Actually, for the outlines you should recolor them a darker shade of the color of what your outlining(that sounded confusing...). But it's a little better I guess, though the shading on the body was destroyed.
