Speed's Pixel Cluster v2.0

[iPokemon]

So here's what I did instead of my commissions I need to do:



Here's the story: I found a really cool tutorial on DeviantART that was about HD Sonic sprites.

While I'm rusty on the Sonic style, I attempted to do the same thing as the goal in that tutorial. What I really liked was how he tried to make the HD Amy in the style of the Sonic Advance 3 menu sprites, with the bold lines.

I tried to do the same thing but ended up more loosely basing it off of the Sonic Advance 3 menu sprite shading style, since it doesn't really translate well 100% without making some adjustments. I did start out making the extra thick outlines on Knuckles, only to later go over it and make it so that I just used some inner anti-aliasing instead. I feel like I followed the style pretty well, both of the original sprite and the SA3 menu style.

The Knuckles I used is the very first sprite you see in this sheet.

So yeah, I pretty much just decided to go back to my roots. I really want to try animating this guy.

Knuckles <3 Tails is better though :)
I feel like you were working on chao too, weren't you? SA2B Chao was my life for a good 2 years. #animalglitch #chaoschao #allschao

As always Speedy, your pixely creations are superb. Jealous of your skillssss.

Hahah, thanks! Yeah, Knux was just kinda a random selection, plus he's less complex than Tails and I wanted to try something relatively simple. :>


Starting to come together!

Wow that's awesome Speed! :D So cute! <3

[SassySnivy]

Thanks, Sarah! Finally finished it (though I'm 100% sure I'll make several tweaks to it later). Now I can sleep yay
Maybe it'll get me a Snivy for URPG, who knows lawl

25 colors, so it isn't all that optimized :x

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Good luck! I love the background! It's so detailed. :) The grass looks great!

[SassySnivy]

Thanks for the feedback as always! <3

So I got inspired by all the awesome entries in this week's pixel art section of WAR.

I originally made this Charmeleon because I wanted to make a video that basically shows you how I make a basic pixel-over to maybe help people who are unsure of how things work.
Well, I ended up scrapping that. Today I came back to this and figured out that I didn't like the direction it was going...so I turned it into this:

I wanted to take things a step further, so I added a lot of extra muscle-tone to Charmeleon's body, as well as making its fire the primary light source. If you notice the orange and yellow flecks in the eyes, well, that's just Charmeleon's eyes reflecting its tail flame.

15 colors, not including transparency. I had a hell of a good time playing with the shading in this.

SPEED. Looks awesome as always. I really love the pretty backgrounds and your great use of colour. It's so good that I can almost never find faults. xD AND HEY. 25 is a great effort.

Thanks for the feedback as always! <3

Well, even if you didn't end up creating that video, I love the charmeleon! It's fabulous. <3 The way you did dat fire. I really enjoy that you made it the primary light source as well. I'm not entirely sure why there's a flick of yellow lighting on the belly but it looks cool anyway. xD

[SassySnivy]

Thanks Xanthe! Made another one, this time for Flygon. may or may not do all my URPG Pokemon, idk xD

[Suicune's Fire]

Ooh, fantastic. c: I love it! 8D How many colours in that one? cx I really enjoy the lighting, too! Looks a little tyrantrum-inspired. ;D Ahaha. But srsly, awesome work.

[SassySnivy]

12 colors iirc. Also yes! It was inspired by that. I suppose to forgot to mention it because I was in such a rush. Plus I wanted to use these as an excuse to try to work with more dramatic shading and unusual light sources. :D ever since that Charmeleon
