Yo! Welcome to my gallery~

I've been a spriter for a few years already [only just started getting better] so here are some of the pixels I've made over the years.

Sprite Edits / Fusions

I don't do very much edits of Pokemon sprites but I prefer scratching on stuff. It's so much funner that way XD

How I Do Shading (sometimes)
Colors of two sprites

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Your edits/fusions are really impressive. They pretty much look like scratches! The little pixel art house is adorable and those swords are really cool, especially the shading on the first one.

[TheoreticalSelkie]

Thanks! For the fusions I just take the outlines and general shading and then rescratch over it. I'm no good at making fusions that look like Pokemon to be honest so that's why I scratch.

Quick update, random sketch > random sprite.

I'm starting to like the lineless style more than anything else.

[Braixen]

Hey!
I just wanted to post and let you know I really admire your fakemon called "doll" and that your sprite art is amazing in general. Great job! I don't come across a lot of pixel artwork but it's nice to see. I know one person who does it very well and he has made me develop a huge degree of respect for the medium. Keep it up, I hope to see more from you.

[TheoreticalSelkie]

I'm pretty tired, but I finished this more or less.

[Suicune's Fire]

Wow, I love the new sprites you've posted. O: They're detailed and look very well done. Cool style, as well. It looks like it's come out of a game. xD Especially the background as well. I can imagine that took you a long time to do. Is it for anything in particular, or just for fun? And yes, I would certainly say that scene is finished. xD

I also love a lot of your other work, namely the swords (especially the first one o.o) and the texture of the wood in the scroll with the Japanese characters on it. The isometric house is also really neat, and perfectly proportioned. Your shading technique is spot-on. Very professional looking. :]

I love the fakemon as well, namely Ayimark. Very awesome. :D You're remarkably talented with pixels!

Sorry about the late reply, but thanks! Who is this person you speak of? ;0

Squeee~ Though I don't like how bad I am with shading, I'm still trying to improve on it. It's a bit tougher when you try to throw in textures, but it's doable. Definitely something that needs practice.

As for that scene, it was for a repixel challenge on tumblr because I thought it wouldn't hurt to get some practice making tiles and stuff. I dunno if I want to extend it any further though.

Anyways for a mini-update, two WIP screenshots of two sprites I'm working on:

Pardon the double post but here are the finished versions of the sprites I was working on!



I also have 2x versions down below:

[Suicune's Fire]

Wow, those look amazing. O: I love the shaded versions. It looks wonderful! Well done. :D They look even more amazing from afar. Impressive. c:
