So... uh... well, a update is long overdue, so I tried a hand at spiriting. Not too bad, for starters.

Needs some work, try fusions first.
Then attempt at a selfie.
Not bad though.
 
RE: Lucky's Drawings (Thread Changes in Effect)

i like the personally like the selfie. just put something underneath him and it will be awesome.
 
RE: Lucky's Drawings (Thread Changes in Effect)

@TFW: I don't know how to do fusions :p

@teegrun: Thanks! But didn't you notice that all sprites have nothing below them?

More shading for my dragon:

Yes but it looks like it is laying on something.

AWWWW YEEEEEAAAAAA

Time for a new Eevevolution. >:]

I tried it last night, but had to stop due to visionary problems. Next time I gotta remember to leave the background visible. >.<

"Extremely rare and close to extinct, a Luckieon is born only when four elements are combined: Ice, the secret type Light, Psychic, and Dark. It is thought to cause good luck to those who it comes near. A legend around Goldenrod city says that a extremely feverish boy recovered instantly when it stroked a Luckieon's fur."

Welp, time to start working on the eyes.

Signature move: Lucky Wish (KO's if the foe has greater stats than Luckieon, heals Luckieon if it's low on HP) Learned at Level 99.
Ability: Ultra Luckiness (UltraLuck for short): Raises evasion by 20% if move's accuracy is less than 62%; raises Speed if foe is faster than Luckieon.

I cannot stop laughing at that. I probably should've realigned the thing on Luckieon properly. Or something. :p

@teegrun: thank you for the comment. :)

*gets to work*

Also, any critiques on the spoilers?
 
RE: Lucky's Drawings (You mad Eevee?)

A few things you might want to work on would be the placement of the eye and making the left eye visible, because at the moment, it just seems to have one eye. You should also try working on the background a bit more, cause it doesn't quite work with complementing Luckieon. Besides those two problems, the overall design looks good. Keep it up!
 
RE: Lucky's Drawings (You mad Eevee?)

When I took a quick glance at it, the one thing I noticed that you need to work on is the background. The one that you chose doesn't seem to synergize with the image perfectly, considering that your Eeveelution is composed mostly of soft colors, while the background seems to emit a rather fiery and serious atmosphere. A perfect one that you can attempt at is by painting in a forest scene, or anything that is composed of soft colors. In order to clear up much confusion, a few examples are light green, dark green and yellow green. But, any of the monochromatic versions of blue, green and purple can work just as well to improve your background. If you are interested in looking for another background to replace the one you have, one obvious suggestion that I can make is just search up a few things on Google. If you find something suitable, then feel free to replicate it or modify it as you see fit. But for something easy, you can just stick with the forest scenery for now.

On another note, there really isn't much to point out with Luckieon, other than that you probably need to work on getting some highlights on him/her. Looking at it, I don't see any highlights on any parts of the head and the neck, considering I'm only seeing shadings in a few areas. If you want to put on some highlights on Luckieon, a few obvious areas are the top of the head, the top of the right ear, the nose bridge and the lower bend of the mane. If you can successfully add this in, then the whole picture should look great and appealing. In the meantime, one thing that I can highly recommend is practice fleshing out your shading and highlighting techniques on both digital and traditional art. Eager to know more, feel free to hit me a message and I'll continue discussing it with you there.

With all of those aside, I'm going to have to say that it's not bad for starters. Summing it up, background needs more working and Luckieon a little more tweaking, but speaking of the concept, I honestly do like it and I await patiently to see more artwork come from you! Hopefully, I gave out helpful bits of advice and practical solutions to the problems, but overall, keep up the great work as always and remember to never give up! Additionally, if you find yourself having difficulties with anything, let me know through PM. Have fun!

Peace out.

@Dark Giratina: Thank you very much for the critique. But I am Lucky Fire, after all. Wouldn't the fiery sparks match my username? Plus, Xous always uses these types of backgrounds for his avatars.

Now, here's a draft of what Luckieon's next evolution might look like. Luckieiolf, or if you prefer, Luckieolf. It is mainly Psychic and Water(ice?) type. Sorry for the really bad shading and coloring, but I simply want your advice on the design, that's all.

I wonder if I should make Luckieon have three evolutions...

I don't really see how [mod]Xous[/mod] actually used that background for his avatars. :/ If he even did, then the picture was blurred and smudged perfectly before being laid down as the base of the avatar...

I tried to draw a Glaceon and failed. I guess I can call it a 'failed' experiment of mine... hmm...

She's Clipona. Dunno why.
 
RE: Lucky's Drawings (You mad Eevee?)

Lucky Fire. You are so gifted with the art of spriting.
 
RE: Lucky's Drawings (You mad Eevee?)

Spriting? That wasn't a sprite. I can still give it a go, though.
 
RE: Lucky's Drawings (You mad Eevee?)

The overall drawing isn't all that bad (looks pretty cute), however, I can see a few things that you can improve. The very first thing I noticed (which doesn't stand as a major issue) would be the nose. You could have added a small curved or horizontal line diagonal from the corner of the eye to give the face more features instead of having just an eye and a few shades by the side of the face.

The eye is directed way too upward for my liking. I would have rather preferred it if it was slightly down. Again, this isn't a major issue.

Now another thing I noticed was the black line curved almost 90° under the scarf. What is that exactly? I can't seem to make it out. You might also want to also clean up a few lines, since some go from thin to thick (i.e. Glaceon's back). Having some lines transition from thin to thick does give it more depth (especially when a body part is directed towards the viewer), but in this case, this drawing is pretty much static and don't seem much of anything directed towards the screen.

Let's see.... Oh yeah. Another problem I found was the small white or light blue lines located throughout the circumference of the drawing. I would recommend you staying consistent with the color.

Last issue that I found, and, which was one of the biggest one was indeed the background. I mentioned this before, but you should try to find a background that shares a sense of unity with the drawing. Here, you have a drawing using nice, light colors and a background consisting of black, gray, and yellow lights. As this may help emphasize the Glaceon drawing, it does; however, lack unity and doesn't compliment the drawing. Try creating background that work equally with your drawing. This will significantly improve the overall quality!

@Ice Arceus: The problem with GIMP is that it includes layers, and I completely forgot to add the background layer. I couldn't paste anything. >_< Here's a sprite of Clipona.

I used both Paintbrush and GIMP. I use Paintbrush when making sprites, and GIMP for transparency.
 
RE: Lucky's Drawings (You mad Eevee?)

Oh, so you pretty much drew it in with the background? Be sure to use layers next time. They can help quite a bit. :)

A Fakemon created by DNA. It is Luckieon's powered-up form. :)

(I created the drawing in the spoiler, not DNA.)
