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

<3 I am SUCH a genius *slapped* I

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

Hehe, you got to be careful. Some of these are really hard to palette swap. It turned out quite fine, though. II

Hm. Interesting. II

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 + Zekrom.
Nicely done. Personally, I would have switched the red and the blue, but it's your preference. II
Dragonite + Giratina.
You have just made me love Dragonite that much more. I
Lugia + Groudon.
'S fine. II
Moltres + Raikou.
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...)

The "scratching" will be quite hard, but I'll give it my best!
EDIT:

Took the colors from the American flag and put them on it. I was going to put starts on too, but I forgot. .-.
Delibird the elf. ;D
1 – teamplasmaLloyd

Eh...it's not what I had in mind entirely. It could use some white on it, and the red outline on its chest is kinda weird too. III

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

Haha, I like it. II
Assignment #2
This assignment contains 4 tasks
1. Firefighter Gurrdurr
2. Spyro the Dragonite
3. Spring Ivysaur (be creative with this one)
4. CHOICE TASK: Recolor Combusken using any theme you want (specify your choice)
Sorry, teamplasma, I have your assignment, but I'll have to grade it later today. I have to go now.
The Spirit of Time
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
|
I think I will try this out. It might be fun. My interest focuses on Recolors, Fusions, Trainers and Re-types. Oh and by the way, I do not know what software to use, and I am a beginner in all of this, so you have got to teach me from scratch.

IT has a redish background because I didn't take the time to make it transparent this time.
![]() I wasn't thinking and saved it to the wrong file but hopefully that won't matter, right. |
teamplasma
Much better. No need to regrade your first assignments, so we'll move along to your recent one.

Noctowl
Yes the penguin is the black one. Strange, right? Well, it turned out nicely. II
Loudred
Nice. II
Sonic the Hitmonchan
He's not blue enough... III
Miles "Tails" Vulpix
Very nice, but what IS that green in the spaces right in the middle of the sprite. It's easily noticeable. III
Knuckles the Machop
Good. II
Okay, we've gone for long enough on this-- it's time for an...
EXAM
I like to make exams unique, so this exam is going to be one large task. This is similar to the Sonic Trio Task from your previous assignment, but this time, here's what you're going to do--
Pick 6 of these 8 pokemon--
Eevee, Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, Leafeon.
The 6 characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (good GOD, my mind's been poisoned...THANK YOU INTERNET)
|
Your exam shall be:
Dialga as Rayquaza Giratina as Palkia Reshiram as Moltres Articuno as Mewtwo |
teamplasma

Oooh, interesting. I was implying the 6 MAIN characters (Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie [typing these names out is just soo weird]), but this is very nice as well.
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.
PASS
Good Job, team! Where would you like to go next?
Quadcentruo
I'll admit, Reshiram can be difficult. I'll go ahead and change it to Lugia. You're still recoloring it as Moltres.
Here is my first assignment. It was quite hard, to be honest. Oh and by the way, I really don't understand your grading system, so maybe you should explain it to me or give me A,B,C, etc. as that what I am used to.
Pikachu, in the color of Snivy:

Tepig, in the color of Gible:

Mudkip, in the color of Bulbasaur:

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
teamplasma
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.
Quadcentruo
Exam Score: II+ RESULT: PASS
Excellent work with these sprites, Quad. Shiny taught you well.
Where would you like to go next?
Jared
Welcome, new student! You'll be starting with Basic Colors, our so aptly named first class of the School. Here is a video on how to do this kind of spriting. For extra help, see me.
@SyracuvatTenlii: So I was asked to let you see what Advanced Fusions would be like.
2 – Lloyd, AquablastSorry for not doing them yet. I've been busy lately and not in the mood to be making sprites.
EDIT:
Finished.
I was going to put a hose in its hands, but it was too hard for me. If you're wondering where the colors came from, I got them from a Fireman Sam picture.
Did I make you like Dragonite that much more again? 
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.
It's a... * drum roll*... Combusken-themed Combusken! 
Seriously though:
A golden-themed Combusken.
1 – teamplasmaSwapping the color of the two you mentioned was hard, since both of them had similar colors and shades. There wasn't much of a difference between the two.
This is Linoone in the color of Geodude:

This is the other way around:

This is Gible, in the color of Flareon:

1 – LloydDue to Shiny's recent departure, I have decided that it will be easiest to migrate this class to a new thread.
Take Note: If you are in the middle of the class, please find and save all of your current assignments, as I will ask you to resubmit them in the new thread just to check your progress. Thank you for your cooperation.
