Legendaries must be be in a set. I don't want Zappy to be by herself. If Magi is going to make the other two later, we might as well do a new Zappy too. Save this set for other bird imo. That face doesn't really suit Spearow.

That's a pretty good point. This Zapdos could potentially make a really good Swellow.

@Rache

I was thinking about maybe using that as Noctowl, and editing our current Noctowl to Hoothoot.

[Moetal]

After the talk on Shinnies, I was wondering if it might be a good idea for all the non-yellow Pokemon to become yellow-golden-ish color and yellow/orange/brown Pokemon to become black/blue/purple for the sake of easy identifying. Thoughts?

[McMagister]

@Moetal

Doesn't sound like a good idea.  Shiny pokemon have distinct enough palettes to distinguish from non-shiny versions.  Black charizard is cool but I don't want every orange pokemon to become black.

 

Backsprite is done.

[Moetal]

@Magi

I feel the right ear (the one at the dead center of the sprite) is a bit small compare to front sprite and the other ear. Enlarge it? Jolteon please.

 

Edit: The shading of the side bang (the hair below where the ear is) shouldn't have the highlight also, as it is being shadowed a bit by the front bang. The backhair doesn't need that much highlight for the middle-left, and the area left of it should be darker shaded.

 

Edit 2: Actually I can't tell where your light source is coming from. It's literally all over the place.

[McMagister]

@Moetal

From the top?

[Moetal]

@Magi

Top middle straight down? Your back middle hair's highlight/second tone should be lower and not merged together at the bottom since there's no light from bottom. Remove the highlight on the sidebang where it's shadowed by the frontbang. Maybe use a bit of the darkest tone before above your highlight/second tone on the back hair.

[McMagister]

@Moetal

I'm not really sure which locations you mean by "back middle hair" and "highlight/second tone on the back hair", although I can guess.  It might be better to use red outline to accurately point out problems, if it doesn't bother you.

[Moetal]

@Magi

Looks a lot better. By back 'middle', I mean the center of the back hair. I'm not using very good word choices am I? If I was not being lazy and opened up my Photoshop, I would've just show you the changes directly.

 

 

Edit 2: See above.

 

 

Edit:

 

Too moe for me. 

[McMagister]

@Moetal

As a student, I ask if the highlights are removed, how can I give the hair volume?  Because the hair is "bulbous" (for lack of a better term), light shining directly from above would hit the part of the hair which curves outwards (towards the viewer) as it is not directly under anything, no?

 

Edit: Are you actually a ninja?  Or a psychic?

[Moetal]

@Magi

See edit 2.

 

Edit: I'm moe, that's all it matters. Don't read my posts for the first 10 minutes or so, because I'm an idiot and I don't proofread till I submit, and I usually edit edit and edit some more. I was actually giving you advice for two approaches at the same time. One approach was to remove the highlight completely and in order to readd the volume, you deepen the tone of the hair and use the general tone as 'highlight'. The second approach was, as shown above, moving the highlight to the edge which in turn smoothed the hair. If you must make the backhair shiny like the ring highlight, it must also follow a U shape or it will look wonky.

Changing eye style.

Could you move her left ear down a bit? It looks like it's coming out of the back of her head, which it shouldn't.

 

Edit: Her left, not our/your left

[Moetal]

@Blinky/Magi

The position is correct. The ear just needs to be in front of the hair.

 

Edit: If anything, you move it a bit leftward, not downward.

[BlinKy93]

 The ear just needs to be in front of the hair.

That was what I was trying to say 

[McMagister]

For the front sprite I've moved the right ear leftward and the left ear downward one pixel as well.

[angusstump]

I really want to ask are you remaking the gen one pokemon right now?

[Moetal]

@angusstump

All 1-386.

 

@Magi

Much better on the backsprite. Front sprite I'd extend the right ear into the hair a little more.

[McMagister]

@Moetal

[angusstump]

@Moetal
Okay I will try with all of my ability to try to help if that's fine.

[Moetal]

@Magi

Perfect. 

 

@angusstump

Welcome aboard. Have you done any spriting before? Have you read all the posts in this and the previous thread to know our process and standards? Do you have all the Moemon sprite collection so you can use them as base/salvages for parts? If not, can you download it> You can find it in a link in the previous posts somewhere.

[McMagister]

@angusstump

Here's all the sprites in one convenient package:

For sprites not by Aozane or Suzuna, but by other japanese pixel artists, you can browse http://galophoy.sakura.ne.jp/mms2/upload.html.

@Moetal
I have done spriting I'm not to terrible I have read most of all of the post I am not very sure of your process and standards I have advanced sprite editor so I can easily get to the ones that are finshed but other than that I don't have any.

[angusstump]

@McMagister
Thank you

[Bulbatwig]

Honestly, working on these walking sprites, is my first time spriting anything =)
