Speed's Pixel Cluster v2.0

Asked me for a Scizor "sprite" for the Team mini-banner for Team Awesome. :P Might not be exactly what you had in mind though. It might be a little bit big, so I guess just use whatever you can of it. xD It's a pixel-over from the Sugi artwork because I'm being lazy. Ah, as my dad always says: work smart, not hard. xD I did have a lot of fun with this though!

I know you showed me this on Skype but hggggh I really like the colors. They all fit so well together and plus you're doing great work with cutting down your colors. I don't see too many glaring mistakes, so keep up the awesome work :D

I LOVE YOUR SNEASEL! :D That Scizor is also awesome. I look forward to seeing the final userbars :D

Thanks, Selkie! Hahah, I know you're really fond of recycling colors, but sometimes that isn't ALL of what matters. x] Though yes, it does matter a great deal in most scenarios x3

Thanks, Sarah! I'm really looking forward to seeing the final result, also!

Anyway I know I showed Selkie on Skype, but using colors in that way was inspired by some guides on DeviantART made by cospixels. I'll post them here in case anyone is interested, because she does a great job at explaining it.
Palette Creation
Color Stuffs Part 2
Using Colors
Full Circle Color Ramps

I was inspired ESPECIALLY by that last one! AAAAAAAA SO AWESOME o A o

Oh, and also yesterday Selkie linked me to a pixel art blog on tumblr that focuses on weekly challenges, this week's challenge being Tamagotchi-styled sprites. Turns out this is actually WAY more fun than I originally thought it would be. I started out with Houndour, then Sunkern. I'm pretty sure I need to fix Sunkern badly...it could probably benefit from being a little bigger. That being said, crits are totally appreciated.
Then I made Gengar because I figured I'd make one for all of my VPP Pokemon.

I didn't go all-out with the first animations, though I think I fixed that with Gengar.

Edit: This one was CHALLENGING. Shiny Ludicolo, for VPP again

Ohh what a cool idea! They're so cute! The animations are great. I love the Gengar. I always wanted a Pokemon tamagotchi besides the Pikachu ones xD
That color ramp stuff looks pretty nice. I am terrible with colours so I am definitely gonna give those a read!

Shiny Serperior, for VPP.

Last Tamagotchi Pokemon for now. I wanted to experiment with color again, using pixel-overs as a terrible excuse. I wanted to do a similar thing that I had done with the Scizor.

The RNG said Kyurem, so I accepted the challenge! I actually had a lot of fun with this one, since Kyurem's hide isn't as shiny and smooth as Scizor's. And because of the ice 8D C+C always appreciated!

Furret! Originally I had that pink be a completely separate color from the third-lightest brown. Then I remembered that I'm trying to experiment with colors, here, so I merged the pink and brown to be one color. I was actually really shocked at how well it worked out. Just made a couple of adjustments and I was done. Also the pink pixel in Furret's eyes are supposed to add just a dash of color, as well as give it just a teeny-tiny more of a shimmer. Just a small thing, really.

Did one for Moltres. These are about the dimensions of a side-profile mini banner for WAR, so I wonder if @Neo Emolga would be interested in incorporating this into his team mini-banner? :P If not, that's cool, just the RNG said Moltres and I thought that the coincidence was uncanny, to say the least!

**Caite-chan** · 05-11-2015, 03:38 AM

That Moltres looks great I really love the colors of it. And you know me I'd love to see Zapdos. :D

**Wrennekin** · 05-11-2015, 06:40 AM

Oh man, your pixel work is fantastic! I just finished looking through every single page of this thread haha.
I love the Furret and Weavile the most, I think, but honestly all of your stuff is great. I'm really looking forward to seeing more. c:

Yeah, I had already finished it, but that is a great Moltres though!
