It's because you put in PAGE VIEW CODES for IMAGE CODES; basically you used the WRONG url to the pictures and evidently only I was bright enough to actually quote your post earlier to see if what you had done wrong was what I thought you had done wrong, but I couldn't be assed to post; but evidently all these brilliant posts prove I should have T_T

if you are unsure if the code is proper or not for img tags, just link the url and leave it untagged, and when you post it'll automatically get a URL tag wrapped around it.

I don't know why it would matter since your not going to have them appear in your post anyways, since your linking us to them.

However use IAZA.com for stuff like that. It shouldn't be too hard to follow their instructions.

The baby Rotom and Tropalm are adorable. I've taken quite a liking to the baby Rotom :3 Some of the fusions I dislike. The Meganium/Typhlosion one for example, the neck doesn't appeal to me. And the Exeggutor was appealing to me either. I reckon you could work on splices (fusions, whatever you'd like to call them) a bit better. And the locations are smart :D

Hm. i like the Baby rotom. BUt, on the Tropius baby, you simply resized the Tropius wings, and didnt bother to fix the outline. On the location banners, the pokemon dont actually look like theyre in the trees (imo). And that Meganium and Typhlosion fusion....very c+p. you didnt seem to fix the shading, and it just looks, strange.

Yeah dude, I think you may want to work on some more splicing techniques.

Yes, telling them to work on something they're already doing, that will help them get better...

There is no difference, some people say one, some people say another.

I personally think you decent, if you haven't already check out some of the tutorials in the sprite tutorials thread floated in this section. They could certainly help with some of the problems you may be having.

gee that's swell
As someone else said, iaza.com is the best way to go for transparenting pixel images of any kind. But something I've learned is that after you finish your pixel in paint, don't leave the background white, fill it in with a color not found on the sprite! If you leave it white and go to transparent it, the parts that are white on your sprite will also be transparent and you don't want that.

As for your sprites themselves, I think you have quite a nice start. These are certainly better than some things I've seen but I still think you have room for improvement. But don't worry, good spriting is something that comes with a ton of practice! Keep doing things like recoloring, revamping, and fusions to better familirize yourself with the spriting style of all the games. One day you could even be doing scratches! Good luck with your future spriting ^^
