It WAS a gold/silver/crystal styled sprite, that's the whole point, I wanted it to be different than the others, which were pretty obvious minus the really bad quality jpeg one.

Oh. I see. I imagine that someone won't send in their entry for round two, and then you can join back in.
my entry for round 2, my first scratch ever lol
Rotom479 said:Random question:
Can the Ditto be another Pokémon with a Ditto's expression (as in ""), implying that the Ditto has transformed into the Pokémon?
Or just the purple blob we all know and love?
I should have pointed that out, it can be another Pokemon

1/ you already had an entry and you just changed it.
2/ that's not a scratch, it's an edit.
Aweseome, there is a new round! I wanted to be more creative and I wanted to test out a new program, so I made an animated version of my sprite. I didn't spend to long on the Electrode, but I think it turned out decently for my first try!

Everyone, that's good. Gr8ampjaros, it needs to be partially a scratch sprite, like Rotom479 where Ditto is morphing into Rotom.
Love the Electrode thingy, Cypher! I could see you winning!

So you're not going by quality over quantity? Because that is JPG'd, the outlines are really thick, the sprites have no shading, and looks more like an unfinished pixel art, and can I be a judge?
I know all that. Maybe. I'll think about it.
OFF TOPIC: I got warned for revug a dead topic. I missed it by about a day. Ouch.

i second altariaking, you'd think that something like rotom479's is worthy of winning maybe because it actually looks like a finished pokemon sprite. cypher's is by no means anywhere close to looking like a winning sprite.
kk....
sorry if that fails

I'm sorry if my sprite has been causing commotion I'll easily admit my sprite is JPG'd, which I think should be fine because there is nothing in the rules against it. If it doesn't seem like a realistic/complete Pokemon sprite like some have said that would be because I wanted to make the sprite as SCRATCH looking and simple as possible because I think ditto is a really simple looking Pokemon that's based around its ability to transform and not its complex design. I appreciate all of the comments on my sprites, both positive and negative, and would love to hear advice on how to make my sprites look better.

Here's some tips:
-PNG is the absolute best quality for a sprite. It looks neater.
-Scratch sprites aren't simple as much as they are 100% hand-made.
-As for improvement, make your sprites more pixelated instead of something that looks Photoshop'd or GIMP'd. Use Paint.

work on your shading and outlining. choose where your light source is and go from there.
I tried what everybody suggested and I made new sprites for the contest. I would like to enter these sprites for the contest if you allow me to, instead of the old ones. But if I have to stay with the original entry I posted, that is fine too. Thanks to everybody who gave me advice!

Ditto looks better. Not the best I've seen, but an improvement, and I think (assuming it's allowed) that you'd probably be better having it transforming into an official sprite.
