How does this look so far? - Metroid345 - 10-10-2008
Its supposed to be a dragon incased in ice. The style is pokemon, somewhere in between the 3rd and 4th generation:

okay...
you used too much line tool. It makes your sprite look poor. Also, your colors are too much MS Paint-like, there's no hue-shift and anti-aliasing.

What do you mean when you say "too much line tool"?
Also I got another one. Its a fire ant:

Haha, you don't have to put a copyright tag beneath all your sprite sheets. These are pretty good. The first one was lacking in creativity, but the second one looked cool.

I worked on them a bit more:

For the Ice Dragon, which one looks better? The one on the right or left?:

They look too stale;
That said, I like the Ice Dragon more than the fire ant.
The fire ant looks lopsided and awkward.
But the Ice Dragon looks jagged where it shouldn't be.

These don't look in style.
Which doesn't even properlyexist, what with being a mix of two different styles, but you should get my point. The fire ant should probably have less colours, and you need to make better use fo your space. May I suggest a heavy edit so you can get the shades right?

The colors on the ice dragon are terrible and ms-paint like. Use the pallete from ice types.
articuno and regice's palettes should work well
also make sure your light source is correct. It always comes from the upper left on pokemon sprites. no exceptions.
btw I actually like the ice dragon but it looks too... geometric, I guess. I dunno.
also I hate the fire ant but w/e

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it.

Ya. I think you need more practice scratching psirtes. A heavy edit can help you stay within the style until you get the hand out it.
