My custom chikorita - Manaphy94 - 06-02-2008
I am new to spriting so I decided to try to make a sheet, It is a custom chikorita. This is my 1st sprite from scratch
Oh and It's in my signature XD
Any suggestions, comments?

For starters, the face looks nothing like a Chikorita.
Second, you forgot the green necklace-like spots around Chikorita's neck.
Third, the shading on the leaf looks wrong.
And don't copy the eyes :<

I don't think that's the proper green, and Chikorita doesn't look much like that in general. Change the eyes and the mouth.
RE: My custom chikorita - Maxpphire - 06-02-2008
The leaf is missing the hole
More contrast between the eyes and the skin color
The necklace type thing is missing.

Shading needs a unified light source, reduce color count [visibly you only need about 10: black, dark green, green, light green, lime, dark lime, bright lime, yellow, red, white], too skinny of a body for as fat as it's head is, the leaf doesn't seem connected to the body and don't put something green on a green background, you want a contrasting background, try blue.

Considering all the crits your first sprite got, leaving it alone and making more that are just as bad was not a good idea.
quantity does not outweigh quality.
RE: My custom chikorita - Manaphy94 - 06-03-2008
Ok...
and chikorita has no hole on it's leaf, bayleaf does.plus, I used diamond/pearl's pallette.
RE: My custom chikorita - Zee - 06-03-2008
Ok, you used it's palette. If you're satisfied with poor quality go on ignoring us. Just don't complain when people start ignoring this topic because you ignore us.
RE: My custom chikorita - Manaphy94 - 06-04-2008
I'm not ignoring anyone. I just want to know what colors would make it look more realistic. I tried the lime colors but It didn't look right.
RE: My custom chikorita - Wes - 06-04-2008
well, the leaf is shaded wrong. you have the light coming from the left side on the elaf, but it's coming from the right on the body.
RE: My custom chikorita - Badassbill - 06-04-2008
Everything is shaded wrong. The only thing with some accuracy here is the line art. I suggest you try several different versions, and then ask us which is best.
RE: My custom chikorita - Manaphy94 - 06-04-2008
yeah, thats what i'm doing now
RE: My custom chikorita - tredog777 - 06-04-2008
