There are plenty of good artists out there, S120. The visual quality of your sprites is, well... 'blurred and not good.' Your sigs are getting there. Try different texts and blending your pictures into the background a little more.

OK, I know they're blurred cuz they're jpegs and I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE HOW TO SAVE IT AS SOMETHING ELSE! And that's a t not a 1 it's Swampert20. Don't worry, I'll work on the sigs!

But now...after figuring out how to save it RIGHT...
------------------------------------------------------------

Here's Azuledyba:



Hey! No blur! YES! But darn! I couldn't make a dark enough fake transparency!

OK people, I know this is double posting, but nobody ever comes here unless they want to tell me I'm doing something wrong. Whatever. Here's my latest creations!







The Surskit Pokeball isn't that good...Pokeballs are actually harder than they look...

Definite improvement

The sigs are getting better, but they will always look like they are obviously made in paint unfortunately :roll:

Once you start with .PNGs your sprites look much better

The ipod's earphones shouldn't be square like that though

The electrode recolour doesn't work, as the highlight on the purple is far too light (and clashes with the grey) the Rotom Z is good though

Yeah...the Electrode wasn't a very good idea... But you really like Rotom-Z!? A professional spriter telling me that makes me feel good.
OK no square ipod earphones. No clashing...oh well time to go make a pink brown and green polka dot ditto! Lol
Eww...now that I look at it again, those earphones look hideous! Oomph...BLECCCCCKKKKKK!!!

Next day...
--------------------------

OK here's some more!

I've found out my favorite! I love fusions! Something about dementing Pokemon gives me some sort of entertainment...

And a Missingno. version of a, surprisingly, Salamence!

Very weird...

Well?

Nice!
I also enjoy dementing Pokemon .
My avie is one done by myself.

Spoink+Golbat+Milotic= Total awesomeness!
You have definitely improved!

Tip: To get fake transparency, go on Psypokes (here) and press Print Screen (sometimes Prt Scr or something like that), It will copy the page. Then paste it on paint, cut out a bit, and voila'! Your very own chunk of Psypokes color!

Nice Blaziken-Scizor Blazor! I don't think I can do something THAT professional...it's not paint, it's me...

And Shiny Latios, thanks for the tip! I'll try it this afternoon, because this morning I gotta go to school... Why me? I just want to sit here and fuse unlikely Pokemon together...I hate school...

Well, at least people don't think I stink anymore!

Yay your making more . I like your fusion, very nice blend of miltoc and spoink. I didn't really get the missingno, it just looked like a weird mix of reddish orange, blue and white. I haven't seen a lot of them though so I have no idea if it is good or bad. Glad to see you haven't given up .

Yeah, I didn't give up! Anyway...could you guys like rate me on a 10 point scale? I might open a shop. Do you people think I should?

Oh yeah here is where I found the Missingno/glitch thingy.

Well I give the fusion a 9/10, the place where the spoink meets the miltoc is kinda weird. I think you should get a job first and improve a little bitz, try to make more items.

Well...if I get a shop I WOULD be busy making them so much...giving me practice...I'll do that! And thanks for rating my fusion!

Well Swampert, I do mine in paint as well, it just takes a while to get the hang of things.
EDIT:Incidentally I think it would be a great idea to start a shop! I would to, but i can't go on enough to be able to handle all the requests .

Yeah...paint's special effects stink...but the fusions work fine.
Well, I put up a request but the mods won't answer. I'm very impatient...

Until I open a shop, here's Biduxie.



Sorry if it gives you nightmares.
And btw, the pink background was just a preference of mine.

It might of been a good idea to shrink the Bidoof head first....It doesn't look entirely consistent, 6/10 cause recolor is good.

Shrink? SHRINK!? YOU HEARD THAT BDUDE QUOTE! Are you telling me I can size down but not up? If so then Pokeballs will be WAY easier.

Um, it works in GIMP. I only have to sharpen it, I don't know if it's good in paint. Joey?

Why can't people accept humor :roll: ...anyhow...JOEY!?! DUUUUDE!?!

While we're waiting...here's two move-based sigs:





In my opinion, the Airbrush makes a good flamethrower.

Hmm, as a fellow paint user, I think that, yes the special effects stink, but like you, I also think the airbrush makes a good flamethrower. By the way 7/10 on the new fusion, recolour is good but the head is to big to be proportionate.
Like the sigs though: Flamethrower 8/10, because nice effects but blank background. Trick 9/10, because I like the idea, and you have a better background.
Keep trying!

Shrink!!?? Are you mad? That is the first rule of spriting! No shrinking! If anything, get a more compatible head, but no shrinking!

Thanks for your comments and ratings Blazor! And Latios, yeah, I thought you shouldn't shrink them. But to all, for Biduxie, I wanted something goofy-looking, this fits the picture...yep that definetly fits goofy...

Forgetting that...2 things:

1. I got a shop! Hooray! You guys can look for it, it will be named Swampert's Swamp. Obvious name. :roll:
2. You guys know how to change title? I'll try this "subject" thing at the top...

Ooh...that don't work...anyone know how?

To change the title of a topic you need to edit the first post of the topic with the 'Subject' box

Anyway... shrinking... It is possible to do a bit of shrinking in Paint (maybe GIMP if you use the pixel-resize or nearest colour option...) but then you have to edit it carefully to keep the outline continuous... - Don't just leave it

The special effects are pretty bad in paint :p

I don't really like the flames... but if you like them then cool

The Trick one is good because it is funny however I suspect that you made a fatal error... you used paint's default colours for the grass and sky... they really shouldn't be luminous... (or if you feel adventurous you could sprite in some grass and clouds...)

Thanks Joey! Anyway, I'm good with the size the sprites are, I'm not so good with outlines... The Biduxie shows that I should probably fuse Pokemon of similar size, or I could end up with a Groudon with a Cherubi head...ugh...I'm scared thinking about it.

Well, I guess I missed this a bit...Sorry!

Your work has improved rather quickly! I love the Migoloink, if I may call it that....

6/10 overall, 9/10 on the Migoloink!

And if you don't mind, check mine out? No one looks at them...

Thanks Tragar! And I'll check out your artwork too!

Here's a little something I whipped up after school.



This I think is some of my best work.
