Honestly, the lack of helpful C&C in this thread (and pretty much any thread lately) is absolutely disturbing -.-"
Sure, it looks great but you could also try telling people why it's great and if/how they can improve on it. Please help make this forum a better place.
Your fusion looks amazing, it really does. I had a really hard time figuring out which pokémon you used (I actually failed and had to check on your post to know ^_^) which in itself shows how good it really is. One problem I see with it is the belly though, the two different shades of red aren't easy to distinguish (at least not on my screen) which makes it look a bit flat. The same goes for the white, which makes it harder to point out shading flaws since it takes some focus to see the shading
. From what I can tell the shading is only
slightly off here and there and if you tried more distinguished shades of gray it'd be easier for everyone to see how to make it better. However, I took a closer look at it (I zoomed in on my paint) and I think personally what could help is making the highlighted part a bit smaller, not shading the gray stripe but ending the white shading just above it and then adding another piece of highlighted shading under the gray stripe, but in a very vertical way and pretty much at the left edge of the arm, so it looks like a perfectly round cannon. It's jsut an idea of mine which may or may not work, you could try it out
. The overall design, coloration and technical work on this sprite is abso-****ing-lutely fantastic though, I really think it's about the best sprite I've seen since I came back here. The choice of Voltorb for the color scheme was a genious idea. It's a shame you're not showing off more work ^_^. May I ask, though, how much of the added pieces and patterns are scratch? I'd say from intuition 100% or slightly less but I'm not familiar with 5th-gen sprites so I don't recognize C/P parts that easily.
Your Cherubi/Munchlax thing is pretty great as well, however I think it doesn't really stand out when compared to that other sprite. You kept it simple (just like on the trainer, and I like spriters who can keep things simple) and didn't make any obvious flaw but the concept is just not as brilliant as the other one.
Please show me more, I am
very very very impressed.
Edit: as someone else already said, please do not add white glow to your sprites. It looks all cool and shiny but it's harder for us to C&C since we're getting blinded by it. Cheers.
