PT
It is good, needs darker darks! B
ADVICE TIME:So what I think you need to do is make sure you know it cant get better with your ability, and take your time. There is no need to rush, unless you find a need to. And I know that you are able to imagine. So imagine what you think could be better about the sprite you just did, and fix it. Also, in Advanced fusions it is about pokemon AND scratching (or freehading).
ASSIGNMENT!
Make a bird of any type. (including a non-flying type bird and just a normal type.)
1 – GalliumGrantTRAINER
This is nice, I see flaws. B
ADVICE: So what I see for improvement is SCRATCH! you said you couldn't find anywhere. Well, I think you could have taken the nubs of the legs and made the body a sphere. You could have scratched in a placement for the right wing. The right wing is actually behind it. unless it has 2 tails then that is fine. And one more thing is never mirror things, or use 2 of the same leg, tail, arm, etc..
NEW ASSIGNMENT
I want to see a... fish. And make it a (lack of a better word) nice. Like dont make it carnivorous like a shark or ![]()
PxT
This is serious improvement.
This is pretty good, but as you may have seen it is a bit strange, being a shark with butterfly-ish wings. B+
ADVICE 4 U: Okay, today it was pretty good. What could be improved is the part selection. When you used the shark, it seemed a bit harsh with the other parts of its body. The colors were okay. But if you looked at the top fin, it has really lighter colors than the outline. That was something that popped out at me. Also the scratching was good.
PHANTOMxTRAINER
This is pretty unproportional... Little horse, HUGE body. C
ADVICE:
It seems we have taken a step back, yes? Like I said; It is out of proportion. Most of it is okay. What could be better is the body mostly. What this is about is using parts to make a new one. For you it seems like it is get a few pokemon and swap parts. If you look at the example one on the front page, the only pokemon you could probably deprive from it is Lapras and (maybe) Kecleon. So what I would have done is take is Rapidash/Zebstrika and Gtrados/Milotic and fused. Taken away the flames/mane. Scratched on a regualy head. put a fin on it, and blam.
NEXT ASSIGNMENT, WHICH YOU WILL DO BETTER ON OR ELSE.
Make a Snail*
*I would us magcargo's shell and scratch it so it would look like it isnt broken and scorched. (not that you have to)
GHOST TRAINER
WOW! So much improvement! A!
ADVICE: So this was pretty good, like you said. A LOT of scratching. There could have been more highlights on the shell. You did VERY well on the body and I would like to see more like this!
NEXT ASSIGNMENT
Make me a... Bomb-like pokemon. One this one I dont want the body to be the bomb
xTrainer
So, you almost broke my rule... A-
Advice: So I see you went with the head and thats a little risky. But like you said you are scratching a lot lately, now you have about the opposite problem as before. You cant find places for pokemon. So lets work on that while till getting a good balance or scratch.
Try this.
Make a warrior. It doesn't have to be an actual person, but maybe a creature/warrior. I will show you something similar my friend did.
DEWOTT
So you want to be a millionaire fusionist?
That's awesome. I know you already know about them and have okay skills on scratching. BUT we still are going to go easy at first to evaluate the variables.
I would like you to do the following, please:
Magikarp + Feebas (Swap parts and recolor)
Corsola + Dunsparce (Dun is the base)

Surprised I haven't found this thread. I've had prior experience, but I think I need a refresher, so I'll take basic recolors.
|
|
*Sigh* I guess it's time I finally said this. I'm gonna join the Sprite School and take Basic Recolors. And I know absolutely nothing, BTW.
|
|
It's been a few months since i've done anything in here. Do I have to re-enroll in basic recoloring? My current (or previous, Idk) teacher is(/was) Syra.
|
|
I have an idea of how it works, but I don't know exactly. Explain it, please.
|
|
Can I take an advanced recolour class? :> I don't care who teaches me. I'm a bit rusty on my skills...
|
|
Here you go:
![]() ![]() ![]() Not particularly proud of the Mankey, but the others are , personally, fine. |
this one is good. There is many flaws at all really. If there is any there is very very few! A!
this one is really nice. You didn't really do anything wrong. I may have done something differently but you still did it right and really did good. A!
this one isnt bad. I would just like to remind you to recolour EVERYTHING. B.|
I have finished. This was easy, but that was probably your plan.
![]() |

I am glad u came! So let's get right to it shall we? First I want to to read over the tutorial, found on the front page. Try that example it gives, but no need for posting it. So then once u get the just of that (you don't have to be good by that point) go to the assignment and we will kick off from there. Okay. So what you need to know about Recolouring is that it is the most basic out of all Spriting and is the basis of the rest. You need to know this because it means that u can't do anything else without Recolouring. So let's see how you do on this.
Recolour Stunfisk with the colors of Swallot. |


![]() I don't know if this is bad, or if it's worse, but I have to say, this is the worst thing I've ever seen that came as a result of my handiwork. I should just quit now, I'm obviously a failure. The only thing I could do at this point would be to fix your grammar, but that's rude. ![]() I couldn't include the darkest shade of gray for Swalot because...I dunno, I'm just dumb, I guess. I messed up on the eyes, so I played with those, too. And sorry is the pic's kind of small, I'm no good with image websites or resizing. |
DEWOTT'S TEST!
I am not gong to go easy, so take your time and make sure it is awesome!
Fuse Mesprit, Gliscor, and Stoutland.
Fuse any number of pokemon together to make a new sprite that looks completely new. (So like like a completely new pokemon).
Fuse Ursaring, Maracus, and Gyrados.
|
Alright, I think I'm ready for the test. Bring on the pixels, Plasma!

Dark Sonic
This is SO much better! A! There was only one flaw, and it would have been hard to fix. So you did really well compared to last time! Do you think you are getting the hang of it? Now I must remind you the EVERYTHING must be recolored, that is outlines, eye color, feet, whatever. Now lets see what happens when it is a little harder.
Recolor Rhyhorn with colors from Beldom.
UPDATE:
Hello, as you all know because it is written right above this post, I am teamplasma. What you may not be familiar with is that I am the new Principal/Dean here. So that does me that (since it is me, and y'all should know me) there are going to be changes, and hopefully for the better. So check in often to be updated.
Some of the things I will want to bring here is more power to the students, classes via VM PM and this thread. Another thing I would like to introduce is more classes, because there are many classes that are not here. So hopefully I will enrich you with even more choice. If you have any thought or suggestions I do ask you to send them to me through PM.
But now I have to be gone for a few days (unless everyting goes right), so be expecting change.
TURTWIG X
It really is a whole lot better. The mouth and eyes look 100% better, and you have improved. A
This seems to be trusted.
1 – TurtwigXI would like to take the Basic Recolors course so that I can take the Devamping course. Here is my enrollment form:
Class: Basic Recolors
Do you have experience with this class: Not much, just some playing around here and there.
What software do you have for spriting: Paint.NET
Teacher of preference: I have no preferences, as I'm kinda new and I don't really know much about you guys. I'm willing to learn under anyone who's willing to teach me.

Okay, I am not sure about PAINT but I think it is the same as MS Paint. So the tutorial above will help you as well.
Now I always assess the studeny before I do snythng so just do this (I dont care how derpy it is, just do your best. Recolor Pansear as Bayleaf |

It really is a whole lot better. The mouth and eyes look 100% better, and you have improved. A This seems to be trusted. So After that... please make this. (I am still assessing you) Bayleef recolored with colors from Bagon |
And based on the video, I think I need to downgrade my paint.
1 – Blood SwampertBlood Swampert
You did really well. I put it in paint to make sure that you didn't use any of the colors from the original pokemon and you didn't... But what you did do is make up 2 colors (unlease you are using an older version of the sprite...). But this makes me unsure of what you did. But all in all you followed all the rules and did mostly everything correctly. Very good. A
This might be a little harder.
Uxie colored with colors from Mime Jr.
Aipom colored with colors from Monferno.
If you do well I will add a new challenge.
TurtwigX
What you did wrong is fairly simple to fix. the two things wrong are the outlines; And on the top of the leaf you put a darker color than the rest of the leaf when it was supposed to be in between the two, like a transition color. C.
So this is will help you...
My advice to you is to be SURE thatnone of the colors from the original pokemon are not present. That none of the colors that you would normally see on it are there. that is really important in recolors. And will be even more crucial as the classes go on.
What to do now?
Please recolor Pupitar as Mew. This should help you deal with 4 colors and a simple.
Now if you want to do your last assignment again and show me you can do it with an A, I would be happy, but it is optional.

Thank you for not giving me any Gen V Pokemon!!! Yes, I did make up two colors, but that was because I needed two slightly-off colors to match some of Pansear's body colors. Am I not allowed to do that?
|
Blood Swampert
I do that with Gimp and it only takes about 10 seconds. So I mean if that doesn't work for you, maybe it will help other people. But I am sorry if I did help you with my last post.
1 – Blood SwampertK', so I retried the Bayleef x Bagon thing. I didn't understand the leaf thing because it's darker in the sprite, but I tried to fix the outline. And the Pupitar x Mew I think came out well because it wasn't too much. I also changed Pupitar's eye color from Red to Mew's Blue (Please don't kill me)
TurtwigX
You didn't do the leaf right once again. and I am not showing you this picture to make you feel bad or anything. But I am doing this to help you in your next ones.
As of now, there is a limit of 100 posts per page.
