Single post in Sprite Discovery Discussion

Oh, same. As I said, I stan zombie Marowak. There most certainly is. I'm personally (and slowly) building a code that replaces sprites with their HGSS counterparts. No bad on staff, I just hate some B/W stuff :p I don't think the shading defies logic; quite the opposite, they do a great job. I think that it doesn't follow the style of B/W. They go overboard with miniature details that are primarily absent in official sprites, and these mininute focuses make the sprites hard to digest. It lacks a hard, focused light. Look up pillow shading. I didn't say it wasn't flying. I said I can't tell apart its pieces and that the way its body is positioned while floating is hard to tell due to the lack of coherent lines. Please read my post, after all of looking over your review what I can tell is that you didn't get my point anywhere. I don't mean this like, in a rude way. It's just frustrating to address someone who's arguing against something that was never proposed. I can concede on the logic of having very similar colours. But at the end of the day, remember that you're making art for people to look at. The environmental touch is nice and still plausible with contrast. Geodude is supposed to just look like a rock. It doesn't look mono-colour or otherwise an odd blend. Also, its forearms still look like they could be attached to either arm, and that's an issue regardless of your colour choice intentions. Don't have a ton to say regarding your points of Terabbit (which was the sprite in question, not Minibbit). Fair points. As I said, I hold bias due to my loathing of the Minibbit line all the way back to PF1. I've always felt it was wildly inappropriate in a Pokemon setting. Here's the thing, DL: we aren't going to sit and stare at these sprites for 10 minutes like I did while writing the analysis on PFQ shading. Most people will look at it at normal resolution. We should be able to tell with only a few moments of looking what we're dealing with. Yes, Kalahowli is based on the complicated patterns of african wild dogs. That doesn't give it a free pass. Hence to me posting canon complicated designs. I don't mean to scare you but we have a canon chicken line called the Torchic family which is also based on chickens. We also have Tropius whose butt is literally leaves. Ho-oh is based on a phoenix, but easily draws reference from peacocks. The highlights need to go. The issue isn't more. If you think that, my post went over your heard. The issue is clarity. ---- I get your post was to say how others may interpret things. But please actually read what I was arguing... Your reply completely baffles me. I'm not questioning the interpretation of the sprites. I'm pointing out how it's different from B/W's style and in what ways.
