SCRATCHES The first sprite is the fakemon Mochira, created by Seika! The second sprite is the fakemon Quaxiatu, created by Full Metal Cookies! SPLICES The third sprite is the fakemon Rasqueon, created by Kratos Aurion! TRAINERS PIXEL OVERS REPOSES REVAMPS Imageshack blew up and I went back to Photobucket and decided to leave out a lot of my older stuff from my gallery. A lot of it is ugly and I know better and blah. Edited by Alraunne, Jul 18 2009, 07:51 PM.

VIVA LA UBOA! Posts: 397 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Apr 8, 2009	Your splices are original and creative, though I could definitly advise you to use more scratched parts - they make a splice a lot more clean and different-looking. Is the trainer on the left scratch? If it is, it's phenomenal. The rest of your trainers are great as well, but the same 'use scratched parts' applies here, too. Finally, my nitpick with the revamps is you might want to make the Pokemon look more like their current incarnations - sometimes I like to keep them looking like they were back in R/B/Y, though... so no biggie.

Most of the splices are at least a year old and I haven't done one in a long time, I just kind of put them there to say "hey I know how to do these". I'll definitely use scratched parts on new ones though. Scratch parts are fun. The mouth thingy on the Shaymin-Mawile one is completely scratch, though, IIRC. It was made for a sprite challenge at TCoD, and I had a hard time using Mawile as a base and making the mouth Shayminey, so I used Shaymin as a base and scratched the mouth part. What I want to try next is a splice with more than just two Pokemon, like the ones on Arkeis. What I like about those is a lot of them look like completely original Pokemon and it's hard to tell what parts were used. Problem is I dunno what three I'd even want to try it with. Seika Is the trainer on the left scratch? If it is, it's phenomenal. The rest of your trainers are great as well, but the same 'use scratched parts' applies here, too. The trainer on the far left is... kind of a scratch. Her base is a pixel over of Platinum-Dawn's Sugimori art, and from there it is scratched. She's bigger than the others because I couldn't get the Sugimori art much smaller without losing some detail and that would've made it harder to pixel over... Seika Finally, my nitpick with the revamps is you might want to make the Pokemon look more like their current incarnations - sometimes I like to keep them looking like they were back in R/B/Y, though... so no biggie. The only revamps I didn't really try the 'current incarnations' thing with is the Clefairy, Pidgeot, Abra, Hoppip and the TCG revamps (and Mew, I guess, for the tail is pretty stubby... but for those colors I was going for the colors on the Stadium/Snap models, I thought it was pretty cute how only the tips were pink). Nidorino and Entei had a lot of editing... I remember the Entei was also made for an old sprite competition at TCoD forums, and the other person had colored theirs better but didn't change the outlines very much. I forgot whose won. The Red/Blue Kangaskhan had some editing too, especially with the mouth, legs and ears, and some inflation to make it look better in D/P's 80 x 80 size thing. The more I look at it the less I like it, though...I might retry it sometime. Edited by Alraunne, May 20 2009, 07:48 PM.

Really don't like how it turned out, and I'm not going to work on it in particular anymore, but posting it anyway. Edward Elric. Also requested by FMC. Very happy with it, but I might remove the watch chain. To those who don't know what it's supposed to be, it looks kind of... well. Gold Dragonite. Not a request, just 'cause. Silver Meowth. Just 'cause. Crystal Venomoth. You'll see this one again soon. edit: misspelled Xatu lol Edited by Alraunne, Jun 24 2009, 07:07 PM.

I mean, your reference drawing was a really flat side view. :/

My problem was working with the 80 x 80 size (in before "official style limitations!"). I couldn't think of a creative angle or pose in which the important details would be large and... unfunny looking. I tried, but eventually sort of gave up and made that one instead. Compare my two Lugia pixel overs to see what I'm talking about.

ああああああ Posts: 44 Group: Members Member #31 Joined: May 18, 2009	That'd make it disproportionate though... The point is that angled poses are better for larger bodies (such as the Lugia flying towards the viewer), I find, because the most important details (such as the face) are large enough to not look weird, while the body itself is still technically proportionate. So I need to work on being able to scratch those dynamic angles... Anyway, finally another splice to add to the gallery! 4 pixels too tall, and the limbs are kind of icky, but it was hard to make them look right and still be small enough. I was trying to make it look like the tail was twisting, and it's yellow on the underside and blue on the backside, but zoomed out it just looks like the tip of the tail is blue instead...

Kurotowa from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind! It's old but I remembered it and dug it out. One of my favorites still. Edited by Alraunne, Jul 4 2009, 02:04 AM.
