Pokemon White Sprite Contest [New Thread in Black 2/White 2 Forum!] - Page 22

I'm working on an entry. Just saying in case you actually judge in time.

I've finished my entry (albeit a day late );

Venomoth and Butterfree recolored as the two forms of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly. Venomoth is the male form, while Butterfree is the dark morph version of the female.

Judging!
Unfortunately my co-judge is still busy. In which case I'll grab this. You can take it next week.

[B+] Overall, there's really no problem with these recolors. The one thing that'll get you into the A range, though, is to get a little more creative than a simple palette swap.

[B-] I agree, your Arbok is the best. There's really nothing wrong with it, so let's start with Cobalion. I see you took out some of the shading on its chest fluff and horns. When bringing colors over from one sprite to another, sometimes the number of shades doesn't match, in which case it may be wise to add another shade yourself. Don't worry, us judges aren't combing over your sprite with the eyedropper tool to see if you used exactly Arbok's colors. In this case, I'd add a shade between the yellow and orange, as there's a lot of contrast between them. Which brings us to Dragonair. Once again, sometimes colors look fine on one Pokemon, but awkward on another. There's too much contrast between shades, and the outline isn't quite dark enough. Again, feel free to lighten or darken colors to make the sprite look better.

[A-] Not bad, I like how you kept to cats as well. The problem though is that all the stripes are black. I see that you anialiased the edges of the stripes with a gray, which is good, but there should also be primarily gray on the stripes in the light. Arcanine is a good example of what I'm talking about.

[A+] I love it! You did a great job of keeping things simple, yet interesting in your recolor. The stars were a great touch on Braviary as well.

quote Dragon Arbock

[A-] I ended up spending several minutes reading about butterflies... Anyway, love your choice of theme. The big problem though is the contrast and brightness of the yellow on the Venamoth. Just bump down the brightness of the yellow, increase the contrast between the shades of yellow, and darken the yellow outline, and you'd have a very impressive recolor.

quote Vast

[C] Kudos for not just going with a simple recolor, but your big issue here is the complete disappearance of any shading. Make sure you keep the shading intact when recoloring. There's also a few other problems, like some of the outline missing, and this weird half-shade on Seviper's tail, but the lack of shading is your biggest concern.

New Theme: Create a sprite based on mythology.
Judge: 4EverSeaMusic
Due Date: May 10th

Since this is a mythology theme, can I make, say, a unicorn pegasus or a hydra hell hound?
I'm a big fan of myths, Greek, Roman, Chinese, Japanese, Celtic, etc.

Sebeast

It's based off of some water beast myth that look exactly like my sprite.
I'll try and find the actual name again if you don't believe me
But I'm lazy right now.

A gryphon, because pokemon still needs one.
Pokemon used; Luxray, Braviary, Vulpix, Ninetales, Fearow, & Skarmory.

I haven't entered in a while, so here's a Fire-type Chimera.



Complete scratch, C+C appreciated.

Here's my last minute entry:



It's either a faun from Roman mythology or a satyr from Greek mythology, however you'd like to see it. It's inspired almost entirely from the faun from Pan's Labyrinth, a beautiful film which I highly recommend. ^-^

It's almost entirely scratched. I only fused the arms and hands, because it's almost impossible to scratch those. .-.
Although, I did really scratch the hands as smaller versions of Will's because his were too big.
