Uploaded with ImageShack.usI tried to remake Nidorina for you but..I'm just too tired right now. ME SLEEP NOW

I did my own edit anyway



New head, thickened limbs, less shading.

the arm furthest away from us looks crippled and the claw everywhere just look off.

Bottom Right.

Any improvement?



EDIT: Noticed an annoying spot of banding on her stomach. Attempted to fix it:

by your powers combined, I am an acceptable Nidorina?

The uppermost back spike looks a little oddly shaped, but apart from that, that looks excellent.

My only real problem is that the pose is now exactly the same as the reference. I know it was similar before, but I had originally intended to do a different pose entirely, and when I started drawing it just came out similar. I tried to make is as though the front legs were almost pawing the ground, rather than just hanging there.

I thought the reason that pic was there was to make the sprite look EXACTLY like that...FFF

Anyway, it looks great. Just AA a few areas a little bit and it should be fine.

Here's my stance on it: if you're going to copy official art, you may as well not even bother trying to make subtle changes unless it's necessary to conform to the style. There are a good number of official Pokemon sprites that are heavily inspired by or flat out copies of pre existing art. However, I still encourage original poses. I'm ok with having a handful of "rip off" poses, as long as the project isn't flooded with them.

A small update today. I just added the newest Nidorina, and I tried a new Nidoran (F). Also, small edits to Aerodactyl.

Not too important but I think Onix could be more bulky.

Slowpoke and Gyrados, too, could be more bulky.
Machop could be re-done, because it doesn't look like right

I see the problem with Gyarados, but I don't quite see what's wrong with Onix. I guess I'll see what I can do.

meanwhile

I never expected Sycther's head to be so fucking hard to sprite. Something still looks odd about him.

I think it might be the face. The mouth seems really big.

nidorino, had a lot of problems doing him.

Doesn't look like its from a pokemon game.

This is my first custom Pokemon sprite from scratch so not much to expect.

I know its not the best but its better than nothing.


FINAL EDIT: Fixed (his) Left Arm and (his) right glove, and put his sholders into there static position.

Also i would like to know what you think

A lot of the shading looks like its embossed.
