inspiration much?

Pixely (Pokedex #14837)
Electric-type Pokemon

Pixely is created when attempting to save art as JPG.  The red pixely distorts, and as it evolves, Green and Blue pixely's begin to mutant out of Red.  Found only in the gardens of n00bs in the evening when doing their homework and decide to give MSPaint and pixel art a try.

Thats the best pokemon ever...

i have no problem, just put tome more effort into the actual pixeling of it, though and then it will be good.  looks at other pokemon sprites and get an idea of the style

I posted 3 links to the news item in the gallery with sample Pokemons for ya all that don't know what they are...and shame on you for not knowing.

Im not entering but i had to step in here sorry :p

Eggxecutor get Adam!

i think you are getting farther away from the style than the first one.  there is little to no dithering, no selout, lack of contrast, etc on yours, and those things are some of the basic essentials of the pokemon sprites.

Here's what I've got so far. It's one of them hairy elephant thingies from olden times.

I have decided to actually do this one.

I think I'm gonna need to change the colors around, I don't like them very much for some reason.

WIP;

Congrats, you made me giggle.

I think I'm pretty much done. I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

Idea so far..


Quick question though. Must it be in Poke'mon style, or can I adapt it to suit my own?

That looks really good, Agent #1, and Skull, Cool idea!

I was going to say that, too.

agent's is my favorite so far. the red balls could use a darker outline though.

dont post the color reductions here...  now all you are doing is getting suspicion towards your art.  just pixel it by hand and use the original as a reference, color reductions just hurt you because then you dont learn style, you just learn basically paint by numbers.

if you make a sketch yourself, then trace it, dont just color redux that either.  your new enough to the scene that you actually need to put the work into it and learn how to do it before you start taking such huge shortcuts.

edit: correction, you arent new here, so you should know better.  no, color reductions 99% of the time are never allowed or tolerated.
