2) Recolours are still supposed to maintain their sizes, and also where all the shades are meant to be. Such as this: See how the shades are still intact and in the same place, and the colour scheme works? Make sure you do that, and additionally, neeeeveeeerrrrr use Paint's default colours. x_x They are horrific. Make your own palettes or take them from other pokemon. :]
3) For retypes, add more than just a different colour scheme, to make it interesting. For example, this is a retype I did...probably a long time ago - can't remember when - where I added icy elements to the ninetales as well as changing the colour scheme.

Anyway, keep practicing, because spriting isn't that easy. x)

Yes. I have gotten better. I have being saving up for a time when I could use these.

1) The Re-Type head of Vanilite is now the shape of a fire. Vanilite nor Litwick were stretched or squished, I found them like that.

2) My Fusions were done a couple of... *counts on fingers* Probably about 3 months ago. I created new ones and are homing on getting better and reaching my goal ;)

3) The recolours... yes, a long time ago. That was when I didn't know it destroyed the picture. Sorry ^^;
I am going to replace them with better recolours soon.

4) I was trying to do stuff like those icy elements on a reuniclus re-type I was doing, but I had to draw them on and they JUST weren't working out.

My goal in this shop is making people happy... as soon as I continue to make these sprites, I will get better... this shop is benefitting me too.
