The VG Resource

Oh man I haven't made a sprite in so long, my pixels are rusty!
I feel so nostalgic....Even though its been only about half a year.
Hopefully I'll be able to get more done before this thread gets too old, but I've only done my Spinda evolution so far.

Here is the full artwork I made...I changed its arms to be more Spinda like btw.

I call it...SPINDRUNK!...Although Pandizzy would be better because having an alcohol related name in a pokemon game seems eh...
Regardless! Tell me what you think. What can I improve upon?

I'll make more in the future.

Imcredibly done, yeah some of the colors are a bit pale, specially on the tail, but other then that, i like it.

. . .the hair :/
not pokemon related
at all.

yeah, why does it have hair, exactly?

It doesn't even need the hair.

If anything it reminds me more of a male smoochum evolution with paws and elf ears then a spinda evolution.

might want to fix that.

doesnt resemble a pokemon at all.

looks more like any other monster/creature game character.

This is one damn fine sprite, cannot wait to see your upcoming ideas.

It's an awesome pokemon, but its hair reminds me of Pokey/Porky from Earthbound.

Edit: But I looked through your posts (because I'm a stalker) and saw that you played Mother 3, so it must be intentional, haha!

Great sprite, but the hair makes it look more like a crossbreed between Smoochum and Spinda because of the hair.

Excellent sprite. Totally not a Pokemon though.

I don't know why, but it reminds me at the Naruto series =o

^ Probably because the swirl on its stomach kinda looks like the leaf village symbol.

Alright guys, thank you all for your wonderful feedback but I'm terribly sorry, the hair is staying regardless of whether or not it makes it look less pokemonish.
It is my favorite part of this weasel of mine after all.
Oh, and Pokey has nothing to do with the hair, it was just me trying to get "Creative".

Ok so I tried to make its tail look less bland without adding a new color by using dithering and this is the result.
I'm really satisfied with the outcome.

Hmm.....should I make a grass/Fire, a dark/fighting or a dragon/electric next?
You decide!

Dithering makes the tail look worse. You can't dither on a piece that has virtually no dithering, it stands out really badly.

Any suggestions for improving the tail?
Or was it already fine to begin with?
