Since I have one pretty much every where, I'll make one here.

I can make:
Splices, Pixel Overs(must supply art), avatars(no text. My text tool isn's working.), banners, recolors, revamps, inverts, ipods, and lolly pops.

The samples are coming, but I swiched to TCoD forum sprite hosting and the data base was whiped so... yeah. They're being re-made.

Will you request? :^_^:

Hmm, let's see what you can do. =) How about a Girafarig/Persian mix?

Here ya go!

Wha-? I can't post the sprite! ::o: I'll just show you what I tried.

without the *'s.

Use an uploading website instead of wasting TCoD's webspace. C:

Imageshack

Upload your pic, then copy the last URL on the page (the one that says "direct link to image"), paste it into IMG tags, and hey presto!

Try it. I'd also like to see a few other examples of your work while you're at it. :3

Here's the splice:



Examples:




(oops! saved the Darkrai pixel-over... as JPEG. All that... Hardwork... gone...)

More to come.

Let's see... about your Persian/Girafarig splice...
1.) Replace the other two legs as hooves from Girafarig
2.) Replace the ears with Girafarig's ears and add the horns and pink spikes.
3.) Instead of recoloring it to persian's colors, Recolor it to Girafarig's colors. Persian's already the base, so it would make it more splice-y to do that. Girafarig has many colors, but you could at least attempt it.

Maybe I'll make an example tomorrow... I'm not the best splicer, but I haven't done one in a while so I think I will. =P

You're just a newbie spriter, so I guess it's typical for you to make some mistakes. That's fine.

I'll skip over the Persian for now, since IMX already pointed out its flaws, and look at some of the others.

You forgot to recolor the Gardevoir's outlines. It still has green on it... did you zoom in to 6x~8x? (I'm assuming you're using Paint.) Make sure you recolor EVERY part of the sprite, otherwise it looks incomplete.

iPokemon (and similar things, like Infernos and siamese twins) irk me. They're LAZY and don't involve any creativity at all. for iPokemon, it's just "recolor the whole thing black, scratch on a poorly-done iPod, and give it a seizure-inducing Paint Default background. Please. << Spend your time doing more productive things.

The Rotom? Umm... is this a new fad or something? o_O I don't get it.

The Caterpie... as any revamping guide will tell you, revamping is not recoloring. You can't just replace the old sprite's pallette with the new one; you have to do some work. You need to fix the outlines so they're the same as the R/S or D/P sprite, whichever you were using. Refer to Butterfree's guide, especially the part on recoloring, to fully understand what I'm talking about.

...You realized the main problem on the Darkrai right there, but another is that your outlines are jagged, not smooth as they should be. Spriting, as you'll come to realize, takes a while. It takes work, like any piece of art should-- just because it's small-scale doesn't mean it's easy. :P Once you draw an outline, you have to refine it, make sure it's one pixel thick all the way through. Otherwise, it's jagged. You'll come to learn these things as you progress. :3

Hm... just so this post wasn't just criticism, how about a request? I'll give you an interesting mix to do for practice. Mix Buneary and Shellos, Buneary base.

Practice makes perfect! That Gardivoir is old and I forgot to edit it.



Itat didn't hurt as much as I thought.

Hmm, not too bad. It's a little cluttered, though, particularily around the head. Three of the round things don't really fit well with the ears as well; maybe try editing it so there's only two?

Also, I would add a little pink to the back, behind the arm (to our right). Right now, it looks like the Shellos body is just a tail.

Why not try a Crobat/Poliwag mix for more practice?
