Snorunt, done in 7 minutes.

His right foot (our left) looks kinda like it's behind it's "cloak", and it's hands and feet seem blocky

[Garamonde]

You have to spend more than 7 minutes on something for it to be really nice. It also doesn't have enough lighting and the cloak looks bland to me, though I wouldn't know how to fix that. The dithering on its foot doesn't quite look right to me. Oh and there's a slight jag towards the top of its head.

[mutantyoshi]

ok, so which one do you guys like out of the above?

Aren't these sprites limited to four colors?

[Garamonde]

I prefer the bottom yellow one, but he's right, you can only have four colors including black and transparency or white. You'll have to make Sandile's belly dark like the stripes or something.

[mutantyoshi]

Alright.

I have two versions with four colors then
the pink became black
or get rid of the white.



(don't worry about the top ones....just didn't feel like deleting them, but I will soon),

and we have one for yellow.

[Garamonde]

Yes, the one with the black underneath looks more fitting. You have to keep the white for the lighting. I'd say that looks pretty good.

gible is my new favourite pokémon.

You can't do that. White=transparent

hey nick; i've been looking through your sprites and i think some of them could do with a palette optimisation and/or reworking.
here's an example with boldore:

i hope it helps and gives you ideas how to make the others better!

[ClawedNyasu]

Man I love this thread. It's a shame though...most of my devamps are in R/B/G style

(That and most of them have already been done by nick, whose are way better.)

I'd never tried G/S style, so I decided to take a whack at it, and...oh man, I hate G/S style. x.X

I don't know. I really like the pose, I think I managed to take advantage of the 56x56 without distorting his proportions too much. The palette really killed me and that's where I'd like advice. I was looking through the G/S sprites and saw that whenever they could use color (even if the secondary color was really small/unneeded), they'd use color, and so decided not to just use two shades of blue, which would be more 1st Gen-esque. But I HATE dithering, and I still feel like it looks too much like an MS paint doodle.

So yeah, C+C massively appreciated. I used Feraligatr's palette, btw. (Also, I saved a copy of the lineart since I might redo it using a grey color as the secondary shade to get rid of the big chunks of black).

[Garamonde]

That's a cool pose. Those R/B/Y sprites are pretty rad too. Nice job.

EDIT: @Ike: I changed my post but I didn't know you were looking at the thread before I changed it.

[Perseus]

No it doesn't, it's got four
But I think it's brilliant and so are the R/B/Y ones

Edit: @Mighty Jetters: That's okay
