Yea, I'm no mod, just a badgeholder. I'm still the same 'ol KoA.
Anywho, I willl post tonight's progress. I got the basic outline of this sprite done as well as filled in some dummy colors. I can express quite a bit of freedom with this sprite's palette seeing how he uses so few base colors overall (4). Kinda funny how on such a complex design, the colors are quite small. ;o
This is far from what the finished version will look like, as outlines will be edited as well as final colors and the like. This is just the basic body shape.

Looks better then the sketches. Because i'm your number 1 critic, i'm pointing out that the tail seems to be too thick at the base, and the extended arm takes up wayyyy to much of the sprite's proportion. It would look much nicer if you were to shove the arm back by a few pixels, and extend the tail by that, thus not giving the impression of a bulge in the tair. Nice work though.
Kickass, but yeah it would look better if the you changed the angle of the head, it looks kind of weird that it's pointing at something and looking the complete opposite way. Maybe point it a bit more to the right.
But yeah, that's my favorite so far.
Most of the sprites look really good. However, I'd like to suggest something to the artists: Don't you think that making the flames in the cannons more prominent would be better? The sprites looks to Grass, and too little Fire right now. I know the original design is more or less like that, but id the cannons were made more prominent, by having some flames coming from them, the typing could be more accurately represented.
Congrats KoA, I'm not saying most of the sprites we've had so far are great, but hell, they're bette than anything I could do! My favorite has to be
though. It's definitely the best so far and looks at least half decent next to other, real pokemon sprites.
I'm sure KoA's finished sprite will be the one to rule them all.

Ok, I finished(may edit some detalis, but for the most part done) my sprite. I'll work on female/back/shiny sprites later. Here it is:
Oh, nopie, I kind of borrowed your fire coloration. ^_^;; Sorry if that isn't ok, I can change the color if you want. Any suggestions are appreciated. Oh, and congrats KoA!
EDIT: I just noticed that the head looks kind of off, will fix later.
Flygon, that's a great sprite. You packed an amazing amount of detail into it. I disagree with others about the head -- I think it looks great. Your sprite really conveys the bulk of this guy. Good job!

This pose looks the best so far. I like everything about it. I hope you don't change a thing. I am anxiously anticipating the finishing details!
Hey, no worries. It's not like I invented those colors or anything. :p
Anyways, I'm finished with the female sprite. Here it is, next to the male sprite for comparison:
Female:
Male:
The major differences on the female are the longer "hair", longer skirt, double-leaved tail, and absence of tusks. What does everyone think?
I'll probably start working on the back sprites pretty soon... well, maybe not. Mariokart Wii is out today. :p
I'm glad everyone liked the sprite. I changed the head pose and this is what it became:
I'm indifferent between the two. Again, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Ok, I take back my earlier comment -- that head is better. Wow. Your sprite is so good. I really like it.
My only suggestion is to angle the opening on the right hand. The bottom of the "barrel opening" needs to be moved "back towards the body" -- that means tilt the entire oval a few pixels counter-clockwise. I realize this can be tough because it's currently a symmetrical circle, and asymmetrical circles can look weird when pixellated. But, it might be something to try to get the perspective correct on the right-arm blaster.
Here's mine. I used darker colours for the flames to fit the colour limit.
That sprite is the best IMO!
Really? That is great to hear. I loved the original pose, and I am not good a sketching, so I kept it as it originally was. I very rarely sprite from scratch, but I loved this design so much. It took a lot of time, but it was worth it.
