Another thread about Pokemon sprites?

You need to exaggerate certain proportions. All the Evee evos have rather large, bold looking heads that puts the focus on the head and the body in the background. You need to focus more on making the head stand out and using that to make the body. Place the head lower, make the ears droop and touch the ground so you can make the sprite taller, I dunno. The bodies need more bulk in size, other than that, these are ok.

Not so much Espeon and Umbreon. The differenc e is the ruff around the neck. Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon (and Eevee) all have fur around their necks, which this style exaggerates. It's more the ruff around the neck, not the head. Espeon has large ears, but look at it's body compared to its head. You can see more of its body, and you can see its neck. That makes its head look smaller. Same with Umbreon. I spent a long time trying to get the heads to be in proportion to the bodies, and they are when compared to Espeon and Umbreon. Really, the first 3 evolutions don't work as well as references for body-head size references because of the ruff, which is why the bodies looks smaller. I'm sorry if this sounds like a cop-put from fixing it, but that's really the way they are. I will bulk them up a bit in my next update, which is coming soon. But as for the head size, right now they're pretty much the same size, if not bigger, than all of the others.

Update:
