These look fine to you


Fine


But the point of this subforum is for comments and critique related to Sprites and Pixel Art. I Really don't know how many times this has been said on this forum,
I feel like I've typed this same post dozens of times myself.

You say you are here for advice, but it seems your goal posting here is to show your sprites off and expect praise. If so, you are in the wrong forum entirely.
The purpose here is to evaluate your work and give you solid critique on it, so that you can improve your current work and produce better work in the future.
This is a learning place, not your mom's fridge.


All this said, your sprite choices seem a bit blobular, (literally in the case of ditto) the line work is not very solid here, and the shapes aren't very defined. One problem with that
would be that they are quite small, and while you think that starting small would be easier, It can actually work against you in pixel art.

Pixels aren't like brushstrokes, they have to be placed precisely and with forethought to create a clean convincing image. In your case, I would suggest you find a pokemon you
like with a more defined shape and try pixeling it a bit larger than your previous attempts while paying attention to the actual structure of the sprite.

As for your colours, they are all very similar and lack hue and contrast. That doesn't mean you just move sliders on the colours you have, you need to pick them a little more carefully
to get more out of your palette.



I remember you being here before and I'm sure you've gotten this spiel before, but I felt It bore repeating. You may want to take a look here for more info
on various pixeling terms and techniques. (again, I'm sure you've seen this already, just trying to help)
