Claude Rains Does Sprites

I used to sprite all the time. Whenever I was on the computer, MS Paint would be open, and there would be severed Pokémon limbs strewn about the place. That was back when I was active on other forums, and, when I left them, I just forgot completely about spriting. When I came here, I thought I could start again, but have only recently decided to actually make a thread with things I do in. This is it. Gaze upon its imaginative title and weep.

I used to have a huge folder full of my sprites - I think, at its peak, it had around 300 - but I must have deleted it months ago, because I simply can't find it. I told myself that I wanted to do at least 5 good sprites before I make a thread, but I can't really take it any more.

I know there's only a few here - I'll be making more soon/whenever I feel like it.

Fusions



Fossils



Glass Statues



Recolours

Lovin' the Resherdilipper.
Glass Porygon?

Thanks. I was kinda bored when I made that, and I don't really like it - Haxorus/Hydreigon is much better.
Not a request thread.

The fossils are the best, but lol, what do you call the first Pokemon in the "fusions"? The fourth from the last in that line is the best fusion.

I never did understand how people do these, though. Lots of patience and photoshop? Maybe. I see you mentioned MS Paint, but for this?

These are amazing!
The splices(I rather that then fusions) look so... normal that I could easily think they were Pokemon.
That's is, if I were new to it. love the cracks in the fossils.
And of cause... Criticism.

First off, the glass ones are quite hard to see, because of their brightness.
I've worked with white/bright cyan before, and they are a pain to look at without and equal amount of darker colours.
Also, a few of the fusions are slightly too... rainbow. if you look at Pokemon, most have 4 or less colours on them. I would recommend recolouring some unnesessary colours.
Some fusions (like your Reshiram Pelliper Herdier one) can be excused, because they look bad without al the colours.

Overall, good job and keep spriting!

Farewell, friend
MS paint is usually used for spriting, though some people use GIMP or even photoshop to sprite.

If I'm honest, I don't really like the glass sprites - I mainly just have them in the first post because they're easy to do and I wanted to give that first post some substance, more than anything. I'll probably end up removing them once I do some more fusions, or something else.
The stupid Reshiram Pelipper Herdier sprite was my first fusion for nearly a year, so I kind of expected it to be somewhat poor quality, so I didn't even bother recolouring it. Again, I'll definitely end up removing it once I have more to add. I did consider recolouring the Lucario sprite, but the armour and weapon on it is more of a theme than a fusion, I guess - it didn't really look that right when recoloured, either.

I'm loving that Haxdreigon.

Are you planning on doing any scratch spriting, or just fusions/recolors?

Those are really good! I like the Escavalierr/Lucario splice.

Scratch spriting isn't a strong point of mine, sadly.

They are great,the fossils are the best
