Much better. One more tweek and I think you're set. darken the bottom ridges of the shell sections (back sprites). Also I'm not quite sure the antenna glow is legal, so just make sure it's outlined.Male NormalMale Shiny

That better?
I like them both quite a lot.
That's the new one on the left, and the last one I posted on the right.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like how they're coming along.I like them both quite a lot.
You're in a really good place here, IMO.
The one on the left makes the bottom two legs look more like... well, legs, Though, it still looks like it is in an attacking pose. It's quite nice and looks kind of "acrobatic". It kind of reminds me of this or this, personally, which is really neat.
The one on the right looks quite a lot more dynamic, though. While still looking like legs, it looks a bit more like it's rearing up to strike, and also gives you this really cool mental image that it's bottom two legs can also double as a second pair of arms when it's not standing on them- I.E. it's versatile. They're in a great spot.
I really like them both. It's hard to choose.
Probably moreso a personal preference.
...Gender difference?
The head looks shorter and more like a ball than it should, and the lines on its back don't look right, but the eyes, antenna's , and claws are pretty good. (Your newest front sprite looks great)Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like how they're coming along.
Never thought about it all that much, but I definitely see what you mean. I'm probably going to have to do a bit more thinking to see which of the two limb positions I like best. And as a gender difference...huh. I can see that pretty well, actually! Fantastic idea.
Right, so!
Current backsprite:
It's still got things to be ironed out, but I'm definitely starting to like it. Shading could still be improved and such, but I'll figure it out eventually.
Yeah, definitely getting down to the line. There's so much more I'd like to do, of course, but I'm getting shorter on time. Particularly, I'm on the fence about the coloring I'm using. The art is pretty obviously not orange, but I'm still trying to figure out a red that would look good on him. We'll see, I guess.
I'll do my best! So, yeah!
theres a line that you missed to recolor on the shiny front sprites, and a little dot of red too...stuff
Perfect, it looks complete now. Glad you saw my suggestion before my post got deleted.final submission
here is my entry.
Could someone tell me if I broke any rule? I can't find one, but might misread...
Hope you like it :)
Nah, dude, all of these are pretty good this time around. Just take a look at the final submissions on this page alone. I like Doug's simplistic approach, but there's something to be said for a dynamic pose that just makes the Pokemon look like they're ready to kick ass. Probably just me, though.Doug, in all of the CAPs that I have taken part in, I always thought your designs and sprites were very good but not the best in the thread. Today, the trend is broken - I believe that your sprites are winning material.
Generally, it's posted as either:Just a general question. Are the female sprites on the left or right side? Because, according to Doug's artwork, the angry eyes are on the right sprite instead of the left. I'm just wondering if that was the intention or if it was a small mistake.
