Pokemon:Retro to HG/SS

[Ego]

They look very.....odd........

To be honest, i am shocked and appalled by these sprites...they are very ugly.

Seriously dude. If you aren't going to try to help, why even post? He already knows they need a lot of work, and he's new at this, so why go ahead and kick him for it? And with your first post? REALLY?

And you're being a little dramatic. They're SPRITES. The only thing "shocking and appalling" here is your behavior.

Okay, now this is pretty much spam without any crits, so here:
Onix and steelix. Big pokemon to tackle.
Why is Onix bigger than Steelix? From a logical standpoint, Steelix is just Onix with a metal jacket on him, wouldn't he get BIGGER? This is a deceptive change, as Onix's body has 14 stones(minus head) and Steelix has 8(minus head). It also may decieve because all official pokemon sprites have to fit into the same sized box, so they have to be similar in size.if you look for anime pictures of them though, you'll see that Steelix is a monster of a pokemon.
Second; your onix must be REALLY old. It has to be, as Onix's stones round and smooth as they age, and yours are almost perfect circles. I mean NO OFFENSE by this, but it looks like you just got lazy and decided to use the circle tool. Unless your Onix really is THAT old, Onix's stones are much more angular in shape, with a lot of flat surfaces. This makes Onix a really tricky pokemon to get right, both line AND shade wise.
Steelix, well, its a nice attempt. You happened to pick two of the harder pokemon to sprite in the enitre pokemon world. Try something smaller, maybe yu'll have better luck.
However, I do thank you for only producing one sprite at a time for them.
