Artisan Cave Contest IV: Spriting (with a twist)

sorry about not really helping you critique...I've just been really busy with other things. I think I'm going to have to jump onto the shop...Shade's person still hasn't been done :/.
 
It's OK, just help with what you can. You're not the one running this after all.

I'd still like to see some people re-enter thier sprites!
 
Well, todays the day. Or it's supposed to be anyway, I think I'm going to have to track down my co-judges.

So take advantage of this extra time to make any changes and re-enter! Nobody has yet!
 
Okay, judging all of the entries (out of 10). I will probally be the harsh one.

I don't have a copy of the origional sprite, but it is prudent nevertheless that the line also has shading. If there wasn't shading to begin with you should have still fixed it. The color scheme has a nice balanced feel to it though.
6/10

Sorry if this is a bit rough, but you have light spots when the midshade should be on the belly, the bottom of the belly's outline is WAY to light, and the lips lost shading in the line. They are also to dark, so from normal magnification they are to solid looking. Sometimes you have to modify the color pallate a little. I do however like the theme it gives off.
5/10

This one looks a little general, not distinctive so much as the others, YET it was done for what I can see perfectly. I don't see really see miscolorations. However, I don't think you recolored the stripe, and if you did it doesn't match the theme. Still a solid sprite though.
7/10

With the exception of the fact that it is a jpg which loses a bit of the quality, it seems to have been done really well and it is a shame you dropped out. (which means I'm not scoring your sprite)

I like how it came out, and the colors work nicely with this sprite, but you didn't complete it and there are a LOT of stray pixels. Sorry:
4/10

Blade rush
Again, like it but you missed pixels, lost shading on the ear and didn't recolor parts of the line. Thanks for supplying the origional sprite.
2/10

4me4them
The colors didn't come out looking like a professional sprite, although you did do the recoloring fairly well, you forgot to recolor the nose and on the left eye you changed the shading. Thanks for supplying the origional sprite.
5/10

Really you could add 1 point to each person, I am being harsh. And you all did a pretty good job, the main issue was missing pixels which is one of the worst things you can do. I liked them all though :D.
 
This is interesting but just something to add, maybe you should provide a link to the persons work when scoring them. Or maybe put the actual image there? just suggesting i might enter next round ;D
 
Blade Rush
Your Blastoise has recolouring problems. The colours are sort of clashing with each other. The outline is not re-coloured either. 5/10

Your Nidoking, however, looks good, but missing a lot of shading an pixel colouring. 4/10

Bonsly 1994
Xatu looks good. But, bad choice of colours. Xatu is meant to have colours in the red family (including purple) and the wings should be light colours (such as white, light grey, etc.). But if it's based on recolouring, very smooth. 7/10

Abaxter
Qwilfish looks dull. Red and white isn't its colour. Something more "underwater-ish" would look better. Nice job, however. 5/10

Pokemon Noobiepie
Quite good. Nothing much to comment. 6/10

Daroach
The colours are all wrongly re-coloured at. :/ .jpg makes it worse. 4/10

ssb4ever
Smooth recolouring, wrong colour placing. 6/10

4me4them
Totally wrong format. :/ Didn't look professional, as Subzero said. 4/10

Overall Opinion
All of your recolouring skills are good. The colours and some shading parts are totally out of place, however. The best would be bonsly1994 for this round, IMO.
 
Two 5/10's. Ok, I guess. It's just that AS askeede for something to have a theme, and I wanted Pokeball theme...
 
Sorry, I honestly liked the color scheme, but apparently they didn't.

Judges: We need to pick the best for this round. I recommend that we say 2/3 is from recoloring correctly (not missing pixels, ect) and 1/3 is from the color scheme.

So, in the spriting category the entries would be ranked as such:
1 Pokemon Noobiepie
2 Bonsly 1994
3 4me4them
3 abaxter64
5 Blade rush
6 ssb4ever

Everyone can agree with that, correct? And then, I have a feeling our color score will differe, so go ahead and post your own.
 
am i to late to enter my re-color?

EDIT: well i mad one anyways. :D
here it is:

AS said:

Sort of my fault there...I was suppoased to be critiquing along the way. I'll try to put my input before the round ends next time.
 
Hmm, I would sort them this way, with the latter being the lower position:

  • Bonsly1994
  • Pokemon Noobiepie
  • 4me4them
  • ssb4ever
  • abaxter64
  • Blade Rush
 
ok, that is fine, but can you tell me what i would have got and what i can inprove on?
 
^Shading, for one. You seem to have lost almost all of it.

Waitng for SZ's color ranks, then I'll do a little math and announce the winner... and the next challenge.
