It's an improvement, but now he looks tall rather than fat, and his left (our right) foot is at the wrong angle.

EDIT: Okay, so I got bored, and I made a quick Pidgeot. Not so keen on the tain feathers, I thing they're at the wrong angle.

Yessss finally, half a compliment from you ! Ok, some changes I made. Snorlax is now fatter, and shorter too.
And about the angle of his foot, I referenced the angles from the most recent Snorlax sprite - it's feet were at too different angles (here). But, I edited mine in another sprite to make its feet point both left (our left)


Woah, awesome Pidgeot... Only problem I see is... no, actually, it's perfect.

I actually meant the other foot. I'd say try and duplicate the feet positions of that other sprite a little more, it works better. Also, try smoothing out the body a bit, it looks a little deformed around the right foot. The way I do it is to block everything out, starting with the furthest back, which ensures proper proportion and shape of the entire body. In this case, I would have blocked out the main body, then the head, then his arms and finally his feet. After doing that, you can outline it and start colouring. But hey, that's just me.

On the snorlax you may try to rework some lines and fix some curves (like Hoeloe said it looks deformed), You may also try toneing down the AA on his feet to also where his arm folds up makes his arm look almost broken.

Great job on Pidgeot Hoeloe but like you said a few angles look off i would love to see it progress. Also a minor thing could the black part around his eye get a little more pointed like in the refrence?

I'll see what I can do there. I also just noticed that the pidgeot is 2 pixels over the width limit. Oops. Easily fixable though.

EDIT: Fixings:

Aight, cool, then. Thx. Here's the snorlax with his foot edited... red square is 56x56

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot - "broken arm" fixed too.

Much improved. Several issues now to address. Most pressing of these is that it's still not 8 bit. You can only use 4 colours, one of which must be the white shade, and you also need to stick to the set colour palettes. The base of the body needs bringing down as it reaches the right foot (our right), for a more rounded look, too.

Yay! Thanks for all the help, Hoeloe. I'll work on it more maybe later or tommorow. Made so many edits to one sprite today @_@

Doesn't matter, I made one for you. It was difficult to convey everything in words, so I just tweaked it a bit. It's not perfect, but...

O..m..g. Excellenté! Well, looks like all I have to do is wait for X Gamer to *ahem* finally come online and critique my sprite. Meanwhile, I'll work on some other Pokemon.
I'm leaving on a ship for Alaska tomorow, so I can't do any work for about a week Don't think I've left the project tho. C ya all later, guyz.
P.S. Looks like this is our second sprite together, Hoeloe... xD

A couple more changes to pidgeot after closer inspection of Yellow's sprite, AND a mockup cartridge!

Looks pretty nice, good progress

EDIT: Some general fixings:

much much better

Both look fuckin boss.


Sorry for my inactivity--it will probably continue for a while. I'm getting situated at college.

Right. I had a quick crack at Hitmonlee, because I had an idea for a pose. I'm not quite sure if the pose will work though, after actually making the sprite. Definitely not my best in any case.

I definitely think it doesn't read well. Mostly because his foot eclipses his face. Perhaps if you angled that leg downward, showing a little perspective on that leg and not covering the face?

Sounds like a good suggestion. I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: Had a go. Still not all that happy with it, but I can't put my finger on what I don't like.
