Introducing Yoshida Amane, Amateur Spriter!

[Yoshida Amane]

So far I've only done three mixes, and I don't know how to get the white background off:

Eevee mix (Eevee + evolutions)

"Mikaslekou" (Mix of Minun, Pikachu, Plusle, Ampharos, and Raikou)

"Moltarva" (Mix of Moltres, Charizard, and Quilava)​

Hope you like them!!!
Comments, please?

They look okay for a beginner, but I have a few suggestions:

1. Recolor it all. ^^; It looks really random if you don't.
2. Save them in .png (I assume you use paint?). The quality is so much better that way.

If you use paint, there's no way to get the white background out.

Okay, thanks a lot!!! Your input will really help. ^_^

 

[Sammi]

I hope so ^^; To be honest, I'm glad I got here first, the other members say "you shouldn't save in .jpg" so meanly... ;_;

I think the best one is the last one -- the colors go well together, so it looks pretty decent.

also if you're just starting try to stick to just two pokemon in mixes for a while.

 

[Kinginsoar]

Sammi is right.

 

[intergalactic platypus]

stick with 2, and really try to make the colors blend more smoothly. if they look pasted together it really ruins the quality of the mix

 

[Silver Fusion]

As a spriter I suggest that you only use 2 Pokemon in Mixes. I also suggest that you blend parts together and make them all the same colour.

So far your mixes are just cut and paste. They all have different shading aswell. In mixing you need to alter shading so that it fits the whole sprite.

Please note that the shading comes from the top left hand corner.

Remeber good ole' png. You have some talent atleast. Keep trying And use two pokemon in your mixes.

To improve, I'll work on making Pikachu mixes...

Pikachu x Torchic.

I like the Pikachu mixes, they're not bad.

wow, this is a pleasent surprise, a newb spriter who isn't a n00b. well, you're doing ok with your newer ones, all the tips for the other ones have been given, so i won't bother with them.
both sprites are fairly well positioned, but your main problem is with dark colours. you aren't recolouring the outline at all. and some of pikachus colour is left on the tail of the torchic one.
i circled the stuff that needs changing.
