I think it just because umbreon is the easiest to work with as I started when she announced to the umberon as look it is is basically a blank canvas

Here is mega not-umbreon. Mega Jolteon:

This also is not a revamp to d/p style. It is much too small, and honestly it deviates too much from the original. In fact I'm not even sure  what that base sprite you have going on there is supposed to be- it's not the official, nor does it match any official. Regardless, your sprite just isn't a d/p styling of the badge.

I had no idea how the style acully looked like. Don't try schearching it on google. You will get the wrong images and in the end you will do it wrong XD.

Yria, the first result I get is the sprites....

(I'm not sure what's sarcasm, but), yeah, that first image there is kinda what you wanted..

Though.. future reference says not to take /anything/ for granted next time I do a round like this.

I got some crappy sprite thing with 'Sinnoh' on it. I atleast didnt get that. And I forgot what I exactly schearched back then

Woo! It's great to be back in this. So, this is Mega Glaceon. It's almost all scratch work, besides the lower end of the tail.

My submission this round will be Mega Jolteon

Haven't made an entry in the competition for a while so it's good to be back. Here's my Mega Flareon!

Well another mega flareon here ^^



http://yria101.deviantart.com/art/Mega-Flareon-533364309?ga_submit_new=10%253A1431775538

Huh, I haven't been getting any notifications on updates in this thread for like 2 weeks. I sorta forgot about the thread without my regular email notices, so I completely missed the badge round (not that I would have known what to do for it) and I don't think I'll have time to make a mega Eeveelution either since it's already Saturday. Bummer, I actually have a kind of idea of what I want to do, but I'm limited to only using my computer until noon and I'm not going to be able to complete something in only a few hours
I'm gonna check my profile info and stuff, see if something got messed up.

And now for something completely different!

Mega Espeon

Welp, it looks like I'm going to be missing another week. Man, I was working on a Mega Flareon also, but I haven't had the time to work on it again this week. Oh well, I guess I'll work with this week's theme then.

Judging now, yes yes.

Interesting, but a slight bit plain. I get what you were trying to go for with the bit of face armor (and in general as Leafeon has a really great defense stat), but it needed a little more with slightly better execution. For one, the bits of armor don't really look like metal, since they don't really have a sheen (not enough contrast, and lacking a highlight shade.) Secondly, I'm not sure exactly what's up with the bits around the feet, but they don't really conform to the shape of the legs. Also, maybe a bit of armoring on the back would make the design feel a little more put together.

Right away this is a bit too dark to be easy to look at and pick apart the outlines from normal viewing distance. I think you were trying to empathize the darkness of a new moon, bit it's just a few shades too dark. Otherwise, the design is just.. plain, and the most unique thing about it feels like it was lifted from Absol.

I am not entirely sure what I'm looking at here (especially on the left, though I  guess I'm not judging that). Really though, this feels more like something out of Blue Dragon than Pokemon. I'd say it could be a cool embodiment of the Night Shade attack, but Umbreon doesn't even learn that. As far as the sprite itself, the red line on Umbreon lack a conforming curve to them in most places (like the tail and the head). The 'shadow' itself is very jagged feeling and just doesn't work well. It probably would have benefited from a lot less of the lighter purples to give more of a defined outline.. and the rings look out of place (and how does a shadow emit light?). I think to do this really right, something more detailed than pokemon style might also be needed here.

Type: Dark/poison.

The poison typing is at least a neat idea considering Umbreon is supposed to be able to secrete a poison from its skin (too bad it doesn't even get Toxic by level up though..). Either way, out of all the Umbreons, this one looks the best put together. The poison element is there and visible, but there's also detail not tied to it so it doesn't take over the pokemon entirely. The cloud-like wisps are rather fitting, coomon to see around a moon in the night sky. They look fairly nicely done, with the shading implying the shape adequately. Only thing that really bothers me is that the little wispy parts end a bit bulgy instead of tapering off.

This one was not a bad effort either. I like how you did not just use the regular Umbreon sprite. For the most part this is good, but there a re a few things that just look a bit off. The ears have a bit of jaggedness in the lines that could be smoothed, and they're set a little to far down the head for Umbreon. Its nose is also just a rectangle- it's unnatural and somewhat detracts from its other features. For the most part I like the patterning, but the lines that are supposed to represent the separation of the toes should not have been colored like that. IT messes with their purpose and just doesn't look good. Also, the mark on the back foot could use a bit of softening by adding a few more pixels from one of the darker shades around it. Anatomically, the far back leg is too far forward and looks like it's attached to its ribcage rather than its hip. Overall it was a good effort, but a few key things need to be fixed.

This is an edited pose, and I like that- it really helps sell that this Jolteon is more powerful than it was before. As far as what you did, I think it works pretty well, and it's obvious enough that that's electrical energy radiating off it. Replacing the mane for it is just proportionally enough change to make the mega different, but not too different. As much as I look, I can't really find any glaring flaws. Good job. (on the shiny you missed a blue pixel by the ear though, but I don't grade shinies).

This one is certainly interesting in that it actually looks like an ice type (something Glaceon didn't do very well, honestly). In order, the parts that were made to be ice actually look like ice (there's enough contrast to give an icy look). The head crest looks nice, but the ice on the tail doesn't blend well into the reso of the tail- maybe making the bottom pointer and three-pronged would have helped (so it would look like the end is surrounded in ice rather than just being inexplicably there). The ice coming off the back foor looks good, but the front could maybe be more pointy. The other thing that bothers me most about the sprite though is that the face is too rounded- the eevees are foxes and have at least a bit of snout to them, on that would be visable even as a slight indentation at this perspective. Also, I question your choice to shorter Glaceon's most defining feature- without the long appendages on its face, it's a little hard to distinguish from a frozen Leafeon.

This one is an interesting case, in that for the most part you just ended up making it more spiky and inverting its colors. It's not bad by any means, but it just doesn't sell the idea of it being a mega- in fact the only way I could see it was if Jolteon got a new special attacking version of Pin Missile or something (since that was its semi-signature move, even though it never had the stat to use it). Technically speaking, I don't see anything really wrong with the sprite, except maybe the frontmost foot looking a bit odd. Anyway, good sprite, but not really quite a mega (and it might just be me, but the color swap almost makes it look like a normal type).

This is a frame 2 sprite, but it's used to good effect here. The idea itself isn't bad here- Flareon's flame-like fur actually becoming fire does work, and the ashen look of the rest isn't too shabby either. The fire itself, in the tail at least, is almost too intense though, to the point where it looks pillow-shady. There are ways to fix this- I'd say look at Infernape's flames and try to break up the yellow into something a little more natural looking. Also, with such a strong fire, I would have given the highlights on the ashen fur a yellow-orange tint. Speaking of the ashen, there just is not enough contrast on between the shades on the main body, and it really starts to bring down your sprite. Overall this idea is good, it just needs a a few touch ups.

This idea, I just don't know if it's fitting for Flareon. In fact without the tail it'd almost be a better normal type eeveelution. It feels like you took too much of the unruliness out of Flareon, really. Parts of this I could maybe get behind- The black feet aren't bad, but for some reason you didn't color the toe outlines- as said before, you cant just make those whatever color you want without ruining their purpose. Also, the back foot looks a bit to flat (not in shading, I mean it looks like someone ran over it). The scarf pat and hair part are fine, but the tail looks paper thin- like it has a fancy fan attached to its lower back instead of a tail. I think most of that has to do with how its shaded, but some certainly has to do with the shape of the lines and that none come down into the tail past where they meet.

This one's a little simple in appearance, but I like the elegance of it. The only thing is, if you're going to do something that's simple in effect, you should have at least done a more original pose. I like the extension of the head jewel into a sort of tiara, though the white pixel on the middle gem is a bit too much. The entwined tail is cool too. The main problem I have is, ironically, with what you actually did change with the pose- more specifically, the front-rear leg. Espeon is not a deer or horse-like pokemon, but you gave it the elbow joint of one. Both cat and fox leg joints don't work that way, and the only way it could is if you broke it horrifically (basically, they can't bend forward like that, only backwards). Your silken veils look nice though- I get a bit of s fairy vibe off them however (not sure if that was intentional).

Next Round- Create a pokemon-related sprite completely from scratch
End Date- 5/23

• (You guys requested it, so here you go)
  
• Basically you can make whatever you want (pokemon, trainer, etc), but it must be entirely scratch. I don;t care if you do already existing Pokemon not from gen VI, but you must not use parts from this sprites either.
  

Yay, a reason to finish the jellybean Pokemon that an admin of a Pokemon FB page was talking about, within a week!

My entry is based on a trainer sprite, its a mugshot(the trainer sprite is not scratched). This is team nebula admin Quark.

Welp...I made Armored Mewtwo...I think I broke my brain whilst making this.

Aw, man, that's what I was gonna do! Well, mine is a different pose and stuff, so I guess I still could do mine.

What are your feelings on back sprites for pokemon (as in, the ones you see when you send your own into battle)? The idea I have would work far better as one.

That is perfectly fine.

Do revamps/devamps count for this round?

VerysBlade wrote:Do revamps/devamps count for this round?

Well, straight revamps and devamps aren't really scratch, unless you are just going to make fully new sprite (at which point you're just making a scratch sprite in whatever generation's style).

Guess Who's and not ready for it? Yes, BetaX is back! I got my computer back and I have my stuff and My head hurts man, I was dizzy for the past 3 days... I couldn't even go to school with this headache. So i'm sorta still on a hiatus. But I can still sprites and it'll be great!

(many of you have probably seen this from past forums) but im entering a old scratch sprite i made mega lucario enjoy :I


This was one of my greatest accomplishments in 2014 and i cried because of how good it looked ;-;
i hope you guys enjoy one of my greatest creations from 2014

Nooo God dammit I had finally finished my custom Pokemon scratch sprite but it got deleted
