Pokemon:Retro to HG/SS

[Ego]

Turtwig is a tiny inprovment,and is more clear in colors.I am working on Charmander now.

If you want more than a tiny improvement each time, go back to the trainer. Chris2balls made some simple, really important crits that you should address. And I agree with him, it is EXCELLENT that you're starting with customs. However, if you want to keep improving, work on one piece at a time. Also, every pokemon is an extremely lofty goal. May I recommend starting with slightly smaller goals? Maybe right now try working on getting every starter as perfect(and varied) as possible. Unfortunately for you, the initial sprites are quite flawed(although better than I would have expected for a newbie), and this means that if you have to go to fix one, you have to go back and change EVERYTHING on the sheet. Lots of work. For the charmander you're working on right now, just show us the first pose before you work on any more. We'll crit it and both tell and show you how to make it better so that eventually, you'll have the best sprite you can, or least we(probably I) will TRY to.
Also, I've noticed that with each of your animation sequences are VERY similar to each other. One thing that really makes a sprite sheet is when everything is very distinct, special, and DYNAMIC. That last one means that there's motion, excitement in the movements.

If you'd like to look at some VERY well made full movement sheets of a lot of pokemon, look on tSR for JoshR's custom pokemon sheets. That guy is really good at what he does.

Although I will note, Turtwig is indeed an improvement upon Red. But there is much still for you to learn, my young Padawan.[/starwars]

Good luck!
