Overall, you did a great job! The first impression of these sprites is great. They’re colorful, quite striking, and you make them look almost like the natural colorings. Even better, you present the actual sprites to show the contrast and shift. But what gets you the most points is the theme, which factors into your creativity of design. So great job there and can’t wait to see more!

The main places you lose points are quality and instructions. Overall because the sprites were shrunk down for some reason it makes the pictures very grainy which destroys the quality. You also didn’t follow the instructions entirely, which doesn’t hurt your first impression score because I didn’t realize it at first, but does hurt your instructions score. All these pokemon are final stage pokemon, whereas the directions asked for a first stage, a second stage, and a final stage. But otherwise you did very well. Like Sarah, you had a theme, which got you bonus points, and you had the actual sprites there too which also helped you. The sprites look great recolor wise as well and overall you did great. Better yet you can even get bonus points next round if you use these guys again since there’s no stage requirement for the second challenge.

You did great all around. While you didn’t have a theme, the first impression on these guys was great. Personally, I think Ponyta looks the best, but they’re all great. You followed the instructions, made the recolors look seamless, and used photoshop which was a program you were uncomfortable with. If you need any tips for doing sprite work in photoshop, feel free to ask since that’s the program I use and it’s great for recolors and fusions with tools like contiguous paint bucket.

For having not done this in a while you did a great job. You even exploited a loophole I unknowingly put in the rules which gets you extra points. Overall, the recolors look almost like shiny forms for the pokemon if you didn’t know any better. You also get kudos in the creativity for using more than just the three pokemon that are the bases. Can’t wait to see more from you!
