Ooh, it's a Christmas Gothorita! (I think I meant to say Gothitelle, so that's my fault, but whatever, this looks good too) II

This one's alright, although I personally would have switched the red and green hues. II

Niiice, that turned out pretty well, it looks like. II
Embedded image
Hehe, you got to be careful. Some of these are really hard to palette swap. It turned out quite fine, though. II

Embedded image
Hm. Interesting. II
Embedded image
Yeah, the light kinda caused it to lose the outline in some areas. It's okay, but I can't say it's my favorite. III


Either way, it seems as though it's time for your first exam. You're a quick study.

EXAM
This exam has 1 task.

I'm going to list off 8 pokemon-- 4 on one side, 4 on the other. Match them up as you see fit, and color swap them. Please specify your matchups.

Zekrom

Garchomp
Raikou
Lugia
Dragonite
Giratina
Groudon
Moltres

Hm. Interesting. I think the talons would have looked better white than blue, but that's just me thinking out loud. II


Result: PASS
Good job, Lloyd. You may now choose from any class that has "Basic Recoloring" as a prerequisite.

I am not kidding you when I say this. Well I am sure you have noticed that I am a procrastinator, or I am just lazy, but I was starting to do them and I just got done with grotle and then my computer froze (that old piece of junk). This made me mad, so I kept hitting on it and commanding it to reboot... well. It turns out computer doesn't like to be hit. Finally it unfroze and came back up with my sprite sheet and Google chrome. not my sprites. May I have some new ones, I hate redoing the same ones. I promise I will be better at doing my homework.

The choice assignment is not extra credit- it is part of the assignment. It's called "choice" because you do have the opportunity to pick between a couple choices. But, I'll go ahead and grade what you have and add the Choice Task to your next assignment.

Winter Grovyle
Excellent work. The color choice is fantastic, and it turned out really nicely. I

Crash Scrafty--
Hm. I like it. II

Rapunzel the Meloetta--
It's interesting, but your colors are a little bright for my taste. I think it would look more appealing if you chose some deeper colors, and not the ones that give me epilepsy 8P III

Assignment #3
This assignment has 3 tasks
1. Choice Task (from the previous assignment)
2. Ponyta the die-hard Indianapolis Colts fan. (just image search "Indianapolis Colts" and use the colors you get.)
3. Jigglypuff as Kuriboh (I've been watching YGOTAS waaay too much lately...)

Iiiin that case, here's a little explanation on how advanced recolors works.
It's sort of like Basic Recolors, but there's more creativity involved. I will give you a theme to recolor a pokemon based on, and you are responsible for making colors to match that theme.
EXTRA NOTE: In this style of spriting, you are welcome to add things to your sprite through a technique called "scratching". An example would be if you wanted to make a pokemon New York themed, you could scratch-draw a fedora on its head. This is a very good technique to know if you intend to do re-types in the future, but it is not required.

EXAMPLE: Autumn Grovyle (the attached file below)

Assignment #1
This assignment contains 3 tasks--
1. First of all, I'd like you to change Pidgey's colors to make it look like a cardinal.
2. American Luxio
3. Choice Task: Deck any pokemon you want to fit the Christmas spirit.

Okay, this is one of those cases where bright colors are good. You did use the correct colors and it looks pretty good, but it ought to be a little more red and blue: That is to say, the shades are a little too deep and dark. II

Ok, Spirit, I'm going to go ahead and start you off with Basic Recolors. This is the springboard to all kinds of spriting in that it teaches you what exactly spriting IS. Check out this video or read Shiny's tutorial on the first post of this thread



If you have any questions, feel free to see me or Shiny about them.

Assignment #1
This assignment contains 3 tasks
1. First of all, I'd like you to recolor Pikachu with Snivy's colors
2. Tepig as Gible
3. CHOICE TASK (these are tasks that allow you to pick some aspect of the task) Recolor Mudkip with the colors of one of the 3 Kanto starters.

Any image editing software is fine, though I prefer MS Paint since the Eraser Trick works best with it.

I think I'll give this exam an overall II+, but I'm a little confused about the Rarity Flareon (or Flarity?). I was thinking the body would be white instead of light blue. Whatever, they all look nice.

I'll admit, Reshiram can be difficult. I'll go ahead and change it to Lugia. You're still recoloring it as Moltres.

I'm very interested in learning how to sprite, I guess it would be easiest to start off with recoloring. As you guys know I'm pretty decent at signatures and such in Photoshop, but I never really tried spriting. I'm not really sure what program to be using, and well the basics of it really... so yeah ;3

Trainers might take a little bit to set you up with a class due to Shiny's departure. Please be patient.

The Spirit of Time

Assignment #1 Score: II
Decent work with all of these sprites.
Here's my grading system, btw--
I: Superior work, beyond passing level. I give these rarely.
II: Adequate work, easily at passing level.
III: Good work, but with some errors, just at passing level.
IV: Has some serious flaws and needs to be done, approaching passing level
V: Broken. Falls far below passing level.

Assignment #2
This assignment contains 2 tasks
1. Color Swap: I want to color Geodude and Linoone with each others colors (you should have 2 sprites as a result)
2. CHOICE TASK: Gabite colored as any Fire Type of your choosing.

Advanced Fusions

Requirements: Basic Fusions, Advanced Recolor

The point of Advanced Fusions is that you sprite pokemon to represent or symbolize something, the one in the example is a Sea Monster. But I do have to say that 'that would be an exam sprite or higher'. So yeah. That is it.

Sorry for not doing them yet. I've been busy lately and not in the mood to be making sprites.

EDIT:

Finished.

Embedded image Did I make you like Dragonite that much more again?

Embedded image I tried putting flowers on it, but it was yet again; too hard. Although, I completely forgot to get them off Bellossom, so I'm to blame. I got the colors from a Spring painting. The body is the grass, the leafs the sky and the seed the leafs off a tree.
