~PrincessPolitoed's Sprites~

[PrincessPolitoed]

Well, I've been sprting for about 10 months now, so mind as well get some ratings on mine, my sprite threads always seem to die though o.o. Anyways, I'm PrincessPolitoed, but most people call me PP ( and don't laugh at that, if you do you are sick minded =p ) I dunno, I guess I'm a pretty good spriter, I win contests a lot on this other forum called PMFinc which I basically live on. I know I'm not the best, nor will I ever be, but I just thought I's show some people my sprites to see what they think. I'll only post a few, but if people like them I'll post a bunch more.

This was my very first mix: http://i1.*******.com/ohs51x.gif (rattata/bellossom) I made it on May 5th, 2005, XD. its pretty simple just, copying and pasting parts, using default colors, but your first sprite never tends to be too good

Now, here is my most recent mix: http://i1.*******.com/ohs7kj.png (nidoking/raichu/meganium) I made it today (Feburary 24th, 2006) As you can see, its a whole lot better than my very first one, all colors are custom with
seven different shades per color, and the whole thing is practically custom, colors, shades and outlines. I had to make this mix for the finals of a contest, and it took a really long time x.x, but would you say I have improved? XD

Here is some of my favorites:

http://i1.*******.com/ohsdxw.gif http://i1.*******.com/ohse1x.png dragarbrush, the sprite and the pixelart, I just love this one for some reason, plus it was my first pixelart

http://i1.*******.com/ohsr28.gif http://i1.*******.com/ohsr5v.png dragorfin, the sprite and the pixelart, dragarbrush's brother

Okay, tell me what you think of those ones, if any are amazing or if any are awful, I'd love to hear it, I like constructive crit the most though. I'll post many more later if people like these ones

 

[Guraena]

I love your mutant Digimon a.k.a Raichu/Nidoking/Megainium.

I'm not going to comment on every one, but overall you've improved.
Trorita and Troleaf actually make me think more of an alternate verson of them. Rhydoom's tail looks kind of... fat. XD Compared to the little arrow thingy on the end, though.

I think you should make a Linoone/Latios to go with Furtias.

 

[Kinginsoar]

Wow! They're really good! I like your Nidoking/Meganium/Raichu splice the most!

 

[Magical Trevor]

wow their really good. but don't use charmander for the sprite of each pixel art try other pokemon

 

[Kinginsoar]

she's right, charmander just looks recolored on the sprites to me.

 

[Tai4]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE DRAGARBRUSH!!!!!!!!! Aw man i so want one! ( I'm only a mixer but i'll try at pixel art... ) ( Um..... how do you do pixel art? )

 

[Magical Trevor]

she's right, charmander just looks recolored on the sprites to me.

er *cough* he

 

[PenguinGengar]

On Tronium, maybe color the flower with the yellow of the bananas?

 

[PrincessPolitoed]

Yay, thanks for all the comments people, here some replys to what people said earlier:

mutten641 - I don't use a charmander base on all my pixelarts, I have others too but I don't really like them as much, I need more inspiration for my pixelarts ;-;. Here is some of my others:

http://i1.*******.com/op22k5.png random blue dog thing which I'm working on a better version of currently

http://i1.*******.com/op20jd.png gyrphon I made as a gift for someone that came out WAY too cute x.x

http://i1.*******.com/op1x5h.png My doggie pepper (shes a minature, red, long-haired short-haired mix dacshund) I tired to make her ears look fuzzy (because they are) but it came out kinda bad o.o

Tai4 - how do you do pixelart? Well, I'm not exactly sure how to explain this one... I basically came up with my own ways to make pixelarts, I never really read any tutorials or stuff like that so I'm not sure if my way is the right way, but I'll tell you what I do. First, I make the basic outlineo of what I'm making is paint using the pencil tool, I just make sure all the parts look like they are in proportion and not really about smootness or detail. After this I go over most of my lines using the curvy line toll to make them look smoother. This sometimes takes awhile but its really what makes the sprite. After this I make all my shades, usally somewhere inbetween 4 and 8, and I use the darkest shade for the outline instead of using black. Then I fill the whole thing in with the middle shade. After that, I take the lightest shade and start actually shading, I usally make my light source come from the top left. After I'm done using the lighest shade and putting ot where I want it, I go to the next darkest shade and put it where its needed. When I get to the middle shade again, I take I second to darkest shade (you already used the darkest for the outline) and begin putting that where it should go, and I kep doing that till I get to the middle shade again. Finally, after all the shading is done, I usally dither my sprite. Thats when where you make of checkboard pattern of each shade right next to each other where they would usally meet. It makes it look like it has more shades. And that there is just about it, I'm not sure if that made any sense to anyone but me but oh well ;^^. MOVING ON

PenguinGengar - Dawnstar told me to try that right after I had first made the sprite, it looked pretty bad, trust me. oh, and whats the idea with you not putiing any of MY sprites in your pmfinc banner? hmmm? HMMM!?

Okay, I guess I'll post a few more of my sprites then since people seem to enjoy them, except of course the person who game me a 0/10 on the top, XD:

[Luke the Almighty]

Oh-Ehm-Gee = OMG. These are awsome!

 

[PrincessPolitoed]

Thanks for all the crit and comments, I didn't know people would like my sprites so much ^^. Heres a couple of my recent sprites:

http://i2.*******.com/qx9phh.png Rhydos
http://i2.*******.com/qxjn9f.gif and this random thing which I love but I still have no clue what it is, XD

Anyways, I suppose I could take a few requests if people are giving them, but there is no guarentee I'll do them all =p

 

[Politoed]

That Furret/Politoed thingy looks so great ^^.
And your Rhydos looks great to.

 

[Red tailed hawk]

I'm in love with your gryphon!
Can I use it in my sig?

 

[Sassafras]

omigodmoigodomigod. those are so good. You have to be one of the best spriters ive seen here. My favorite has to be custar. That mustave taken you ages. But there is something about the chick/topius mix I dont like. The head looks squashed to me.

 

[Tai4]

Could I have a Quilava mixed with a Skarmory? Quilava base please.
