Rubysareduhbomb's Sprites

Well, I'm new to spriting but a lot of people have told me I am pretty good at it for a beginner. I've not gotten much critisism (sp?) and so these sprites are NOT flawless. Lol. I do mostly just recolors and I've done my first revamp, ever, today. Here we go...

My first revamp ever! Tell me what you think!

My first cloud recolor. I think this is one of my best.

A dark recolor.

A glowing recolor
Sketchywiggly.png

A sketchy recolor which is my favorite
Ghostjiggly.png

A ghost recolor.

I'll add more later. Thanks :)
 
Wow those are really great! Did you get the colour ideas from Neopets? Beacause they look great! The revamp looks flawless but the dark Blaziken's shading looks kinda weird and what's with the red pixel on its nose? XD There is also a few purple pixels on it legs and the Sketchy Wigglytuff's eyes look kinda... bug like. They're good with a few flaws. Great job. ^___^
 
Yes, I did get the ideas from neopets. I figured it was the best way to go since I'm so new at this. It gave me a great color pallet and example to work with, although, I did have to do most of the work without the examples of neopets coloring. I see what you mean on the dark pokemon. The coloring was sort of bad because I took colors from this odd looking neopet. Anyway, thank you for the compliments! I was afraid I was going to be squished. :/ I guess I'm not very bad at this!

As for the wiggly...thingy, I was trying to get the effect of when you color in really quickly and it leaves white marks. Well, the space was too small and it came out sort of funky. :/ I actually didn't notice that he has a red dot on his nose so I'll have to go see what that's all about. I did have trouble with the dark pokemon because he was a lot more complicated then a bunch of jiggly puffs!

Wow these are very good! Especially for someone who just joined today! I'm thoroughly impressed with these! You could work on the shading in the cloud though. But other than that I really like it. Some newbies are awful at spriting. But you are very good. Nice job. Kudos to you.
 
Heh. Maybe try a different dark Neopet for Blaziken. You won't get squished; I bet people will like everything. Well, please make more sprites, I really like them all. ^___^
 
Don't get me wrong, I like how the Gyrados Revamp came out, but its shaded too dark.

Hrm...Really? I used the ruby/sapphire Gyrados for a color Pallet, and I probably shaded it wrong using that. I'll try to improve my revamping, and soon I really want to try fusions!
 
To elaborate on what I said, compare your Revamp to the real Gyrados Sprite

And you'll see the difference.

And, a piece of the mouth sticks out to me, on the right upper side.

HMMM
so the revamp is very good but on his fin there is some black outline that looks out of place.
(you play neopets? ever heard of extreme_fever? he was my ace account before i hacked TNT and got frozen)
The cloud recoulour is very good but the ears are a little blinding.
Dark recolour: are you sure you used the tutorial's pallete there?
The glowing rcolour well, is horrible. there is no shading, you left the old outline and there is a wierd pillowshady background.
Well that is basically it!

heh dont go thinking that!
A spriter is not a spriter in a week you know! Leave the praising to the public and dont go in ecstacy when one person says you are good.
EDIT: fine more people praised you whilst i was posting. But still a very few people LOL!

I don't understand what your imposing about my glowing sprite- could you be more specific? It doesn't make sense if I took away the outline, I tried it and the spirte just looked weird. :/

The pillowshady background was supposed to be the glowing effect but I guess it didn't work out.

I also don't understand what you mean there: I wansn't using a tutorial when I made these.

Yes I have fixed that and here it is:

Nope I haven't heard of you on neopets but I wouldn't know because I only go there to roleplay :)
 
Your sprites look great! Now for some constructive Crit...

Your Gyrados Revamp could use some more highlighting. Perhaps even some lighter colors? Just slightly lighter. ^_^

Iggilybuff doesn't really look like he's glowing. He needs more highlights to emphasize that he is eminating light.

And your Ghosts are too solid. Try using "Reverse Highlighting" from the inside out to give it more of a transparent look. Also the "ectoplasm" looks more like puddles. They need more of a wispy look.
 
The upper head area of the revamp, to me, looks weird. But it looks great and same with the other sprites.

The thing you showed me doesn't look like what I used to shade. Here is a picture of what I used:

Despite what it seems like, thank you all for the critisim (sp?!?) It's going to really help me improve my pokemon spriting.

I don't know what this means, exactly.

I know it does and I've been trying to fix it but no luck. I really don't know what the problem is..:/ I must of done something to it.

No I mean that you didnot recolour the outline! You must recolour it and shade the sprite!

Hmm...four years ago now but my old account go iced and now I'm on a side account that's been around for a year.

Also, I see what you are talking about with the outline. I just saw someone elses glowing spite and see how it differs. I used the neopets base for it, and used one of the dark outlining colors, so I will have to go back and fix it to a lighter more blending color.
