won't tell you that...
I don't want to say anything critical, since there was a nost so good insident with that on this thread. Why did you decide to use regis. I think the if you tryed to blend it alittle more it would look a little better, but not bad for what you tried to use.

il post my team rocket sprites tomorrow when I finish them.
I'm just saying it's the first one I ever tried to make and it failed... miserably.

DARNIT! haven't made any trainer sprite

as for my first try, it's... humiliating.


It's very humiliating.

And also, I had to make a new photobucket because I forgot my password.

It's...a...JPEG!!! *Hisses at the hellish aura that Jpeg sprites unleash*

But yeah, save it as a PNG. Jpeg makes your sprites look lower quality and doesn't show off their true colours.

I dont want to be mean, but it kinda looks like an ice-cream monster, but probably better than anything I could make, wich I want to try to make one now to.


Nicely done sprites, can you try making any of the professer sprites rocket sprite?

It's okay. It's my first ever try anyway. That is my worst failure...

I didn't even know about 'transparent' when I created that.

*sigh*

I always save as PNG. I made this two years ago. If you see Croblu, Lunarock, and Dark Arceus, they're all PNGs.

Well, I got 12th out of 15 (my friend got 15th :p), the competition was HARD! Harder than Micheal Jackson in Toys R Us! So, yeah, what's up with everyone posting their work? WTF?! :p Uh, whoever made that ungodly Regi-fusion should just chop off their hands and never touch a computer again!
If you think that was tough, the truth hurts!
Still can't do requests, but I'll be back soon.

You know, one thing I hate is elitism. I may come off as elitist sometimes, but I would never tell anyone to stop spriting ever again. But what I hate even more than just plain elitism, is elitism from somebody who isn't even good enough themselves to be elitist. I hate to beak it to you, but you're not a spriting prodigy, and have no right to be telling someone to never sprite again.

w00t its done.
Il ike it, keep up the good work on these. maybe you could try team aqua/magma sprites.

Ill upload my versions later.

@Meta-Kirby
That was probably as harsh as what Ilex told Firus(no offense to Ilex). Telling someone to never sprite again is to much, because then how are they to improve on it. If it wasn't for one or two of your comments on my first attempts, I probably would have changed very little. So telling someone to not sprite ever again is taking it a little to far IMO.

I think I'm going to take a shot at all of these guys as well.

As for Professor...

Here's Rowan - Rowan. Just use tSR (The Spriter's Resource) for everything, it's awesome.

Meta-Kirby: I'm going to have to agree with zrky and Ilex. It's one of his first edits, he's just getting started out, and telling him it's awful is no more than an insult. Even Ilex's criticism had something to help me with. It was a little insulting at parts, but he did put some tips to help me improve in there. To give an insult and only an insult is unnecessary, especially telling someone they should never sprite again. My first attempts at editing weren't pretty, but over time I've improved and if it weren't for this thread I probably wouldn't have gotten much better. I'm sure there was a point where you weren't very good at this, and so it's unfair to insult someone who's going through what you've gone through.

But yeah, definitely going to try those Rocket sprites.

Oh, and one final note; right now, it's obviously fine to be showcasing your work--there's not much else to do. But I will ask you to, when the shop is up and running again, refrain from posting it so much. Just thought I'd say that in advance. Thanks.

@slash, Nice back views very vivid in color.
@Zrky, good job to, but the background color makes the sprites look less clear.

I won't be here as often as I want to guys. My computer has a virus and I'm using my Wii to type this, both of which suck. To make it worse, it also seems to effect my router. So I guess I'm on vacation for a while.

That sucks. Try the geek squad/putting your computer into safe mode.

Hello all,

I'm a junior spriter and I was wondering if somebody could give some constructive criticism. You guys are all really good artists. :)

I don't know how to make images transparent in Paint, so here you go:




^^^ One of my lamer splices. :/






Bellossom was not modified in any way, and scratched a bit of the legs.




I don't know why, but I love the trainer recolor so much. x3

there actually cool, what is the mareep one fused with, or is it just a marshmellow color:laugh:
you can't make backrounds transparent in paint, but you can in photobucket(if you don't have gimp or photoshop).
I like them, I really don't have much to critisize:)

I wouldn't use Geek Squad on your computer.

They blame EVERYTHING on Limewire.

"Yeah, I was playing Counterstrike, and I got really pissed, so I punched a hole in my computer."

"Limewire caused this problem."

Those fusions are really good. Fira looks the best, in my opinion.

The only one that doesn't look to good is the Vulpix/Growlithe. I mean, it's good. I just think that the Growlithe spirte that you used wasn't ideal for the fusion.

EDIT: Geek Squad usually helps me when I need help. But who knows. That's probably because I don't use limewire because it's for n00bs (torrents ftw)

This is what happens when you leave me alone with a random sprite generator...

Heh, thanks. ^^

I believe I just recolored the Mareep with a Pidgy. Don't you just want to grab a graham cracker and some chocolate? Mmm...

I'll do some digging in the Photobucket editing thing to see if I can get transparency.

Thank you. :)

Hmm, really? I should experiment with different poses next time...
