How does it look? i am trying to make a revamped crystal sprite (i got from serebii.net)
How is my coloring and shading?

You always want to leave a few black outlines, especialy with this one, seeing how dark it is. Im not sure what else to say, but it looks pretty nice. Might you be able to post the newer Gengar sprite as well?

i added the pic i got the gengar colors from. I dont know where to add the balck lines. The tutorial said where the light doesnt touch but that confuses me. I dont know what to leave colored and what to make black

 

[Shadow_Fox]

Alright, color coded~
These parts just look a little bit flat. I think its mainly because of the color you used to outline the higlighted parts, youre going to want to use the third shade for that.
Main thing you should be worried about. On most sprites ,you would mainly put black outlines where the third or darkest shade is, but with the darker colors like the purple youre going to have alot of black all over the entire outline.
The way you shaded these, as if they were actuall teeth, makes more sense, but on the actuall sprite its shaded like theyre flat or connected. Not a big problem at all, just pointing it out.

Bigest tip I can give you is to study the newer sprite. The darker ones like this arent saded the exact same way as the normal/lighter colored ones are, so its a bit trick to explain. This revamp is pretty nice tho. Nice job.

can someone tell me how it looks? i changed the color a bit and added the black. Also how do the eyes look?

It's quite good, except, as mentioned, you need to have a black outline on the darker shades. Also, the shading above its left leg looks a little grainy, try to smooth it out.

For a new Spriter, you're actually quite good. Better than I was when I started out D:

ok thx. Yes i can animate it, but i have to revamp each frame first. Im clearing out the colors now. So depending on how i feel later i may have this done by tomorow.

I have the balck outline. what do u mean?

 

[Metal Force]

you can get all the frames by clicking "Print Screen SysRq" each time it changes frames then when you get all the frames revamp all of'em & make a revamp animation

 

[Shack]

ok done

lemme know how it looks and what needs to be fixed

 

[Torchic23]

Wow, it looks great! I haven't seen many animated revamps before, great job, do you plan on doing more?

 

[Shack]

Thanks!

i dunno, i might. im on spring break so right now i have free time but i gotta do a take home midterm. I was inspired by the revamped Espeon by Chaos Emerald which i then slighty edited to add umbreon circles.

(all i added are the umbreon cirlces, the rest of it is from Chaos Emerald.)


Did u have a request?

 

[Shadow_Fox]

Did you ask Chaos if you could edit and use their sprite? Sometimes people get upset if others use their work without asking premission.

The Gengar looks great, although its migh be a bit too fast and looks "Jel-oy" The shading moves around quite a bit. I love the gas clouds though.

i kno, i didnt get to ask b/c ive seen other ppl revamp the same sprite, so its not like its really just his. And i acnkowledged that i got it from him, so its not like im jsut saying its mine.

I kno the shadows move around, it was hard to heep them the same b/c gengar moves too much in the animation. Ill try slowing it down, if its to slow it doesnt look natural (i tested different speeds.)

LOL he does look like jello now that i look at it. ill work on it later

 

[.Bambi.]

Ooh! The Animation looks excellent.

I love how you put in the 'puff of smoke' graphic in, as opposed to it just diappearing. Nice job, you're quite the good already...

 

[Shack]

ok, its done now. Hwo is it?

 

[Shadow_Fox]

Whats done, again? and I have to ask, how are you making these? Revamping each frame by itself or using copy+Paste for the parts that dont move? And what Animation program do you use?
~

 

[Shack]

I meant im done fixing up the shading. Yes i am revamping each frame/layer. I couldnt copy paste it b/c each frame is slighty different.

Im using photoshop to animate it aswell. I tried to make it like the crystal animation. It kinda waits after the first movement, then waits again after the legs wiggle (b4 the legs disapear)

 

[▼■DoomWing■▼]

it seems that you just copied the advanced R/S sprite shades.it's a good idea.but, dont use it too much.your revamps are good though.

 

[Shack]

well what should i have done? The shades r gonna be pretty similar considering light will always leave the same shadows (well almsot always)
