Item Sprites

[zeroality]

I hate to say it, but I agree that it needs to look 'less busy'. You kinda have to lean up close and really look at it to see what the design is.

I also agree that a simple red/blue mix would be terribly boring so perhaps you can find a happy medium?

Resist Scarf is a masterpiece though!

lol, zero doesn't like agreeing with underlings.
This was just epic fail, but oh well.

These 2 on the other hand I think look pretty cool. I just shaded a normal ball, threw in some noise, then threw in some effects.


with all the effects though, it actually changed the color count to 180 something. I took that and was able to get it down to 8! Big change.

[ImmunityBow]

I like the effect you got on the last two, but they don't look like "Rivalry Orb" to me. I feel that Rivalry Orb needs to symbolize a fight or some kind of struggle.

Some more:

Calopa Berry, based off of those cantaloupe "melon balls" but organicized into a berry. (I didn't want to basically copy Watmel)

I don't like this one nearly as much, but maybe someone can take the design and improve upon it. Twilight Crest:

[zeroality]

Wow, that concept for the Twilight Crest is hot. I don't think there is anything wrong with the amulet itself, just the strings.

[Quinn]

I'm not sure if possible, but the moon looks SLIGHTLY crunched, maybe put the ends a pixel or 2 for both. Its scary how noticably that could change it. Other than that and the string though, its hot!

[zeroality]

Disagree.

[Quinn]

Disagree.

It just seems like a plump moon, thats all.

[ImmunityBow]

The moon doesn't seem that plump to me, though I'll try to fix the string.

[neon.Barnacle]

Something about the amulet's shape bothers me. I know what you're trying to go for, but to me it looks more like a slice of blue melon.

Also, if Rivalry Orb's concept proves to be too hard, we can probably change it to something other than an orb, like a Plate or Ring, perhaps.

[Shadow Umbreon]

Question, how would Seviper hold an orb? I go with a ring for that reason (ring fits around both, orbs =/= can be held by Seviper.)

[Quinn]

how does a magikarp hold an orb? It still can. Its just one of those weird things.
I'm sorry IB, I'm just not a fan of your berry. (A pinkish recolor with a brown edge would change my mind, I think)
Topaz version color bike:
Berry: (theres like 5 berries in this. Is it supposed to be like a cantalope? I didn't know for sure)

[Shadow Umbreon]

Looks blocky, use a lighter shade on the left.

[Quinn]

Yah, I thought it was just my eyes, but I guess not
that being said...this is still really good, IB, just a recolor might look better. can you see what I mean? By the way...Idk why, but totally serious, your berry reminds me of Venap

[Shadow Umbreon]

You made a berry using colours you picked and thought an all black (big no-no) outline was just your eyes? O.o Also, true though your Magikarp statement is, this is designed for to specific pokemon. It should make sense for at least them.

[Quinn]

theres a dark green brown on the edges, if I remember right, if I forgot, then that is a mistake on my part.

[ImmunityBow]

A ring is perfectly fine too, I don't think anyone's overly attached to it being an orb.

What I don't like about your berry, Quinn, is that it looks inside out. It looks bevelled. Why don't you try recolouring mine? I don't quite see what you mean about the colours.

[Quinn]

that seems good. I'll do that tonight (if I have time)
does it not look kinda like a plump venap though? got the legs, the arms...

[zeroality]

I like the berry IB made but if you think it'd look better with other colors then go ahead and recolor it.

As for the bike, it's a good start but I think the features are too 'mashed together' (for lack of a better phrase) because of the angle. I think it should be redone to have the features properly proportionate instead of angling it for the dimensional depth.

[Quinn]

to zero. The funny thing is, is that is the RSE one, with recolor

I haven't posted my recolors yet? I completely forgot. I uploaded them, but I guess I never posted them :P

[ikkyblob]

I have another Rivalry Orb

[Quinn]

With a bit more contrast with the seviper side, that looks like a good one! I'm all for it. Especially the yin yang thing going on. Good job!

[ikkyblob]

This good?
.....
Looking back on it, I don't like this one, and I thing the other looks just fine, but I'll try anyway.

I finished fast enough to get it in with the edit button, so, without further ado, wallah!

[Quinn]

oh, not like that. Take your old one and just lower the gray down, and do a quick hit of hue saturation with the purple.

Edit: Loving the new edit, 2nd one. Its got my vote down.

[ikkyblob]

Whoa, time-space paradox thingy.....^

[neon.Barnacle]

I like the design, but it looks a bit too large for an item sprite.

[ikkyblob]

It's the right size, 24x24.
Also, I didn't scratch it, I used IB's as a base.

[Quinn]

Does anyone wanna look at my balls? I've got lots of em. Enough to go around.

There are other items in that zip as well.

When I suggested about DP/HGSS balls a while back ago, no one was against it, so their in there as well, along with the dune ball of Mewlover.

[zeroality]

I think we want our pokeballs to be scratch sprited, or at the very least splices/recolors.

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

Most offical ones are just recolours. I remeber making a nice Dune ball by recolouring a Safari ball. The execption are pokeballs with added stuff which, IIRC, is just added on to the pokeball base.

[Quinn]

Our pokeballs should stay in the same position like thing as the officials though. Mewlovers is a great example of what I think should go down.

[Quinn]

Storm
Solar:
Diamond D:
Laser Lens:
Magic Herb:
Thorn Plant:
Toxic Slime:
Vital Herb:
Arctic Stone:

[Cyndadile]

Those lookk great! Especially the laser lens and artic stone.

[ImmunityBow]

I don't think Diamond Dust should be a recolour.Thorn Plant looks fairly cool as does Arctic Stone, and I like the balls.

Laser Lens looks fine but doesn't represent the concept well enough for me. I don't think you should have the tacky beam there and I would imagine that the lens would be a good deal thinner.

Toxic Slime looks a bit too much like moss. The problem probably is that it holds its shape too well, and has too much of a leaf-green colouring.

It's hard to judge the herbs but maybe try making them simpler and cleaner?

[ImmunityBow]

Here's Berry Smoothie



This was more of a pain to do than I thought it would be. Glass is pretty difficult to pull off and that umbrella just wasn't cooperating.

[Zenith]

I like it. Reminds me of Paper Mario.

[totodileman]

looks great! The straw seems a bit off though :P

[ImmunityBow]

Unfortunately there`s nothing I can do about the straw. It`s going to look weird simply because of how small the sprite is.

[totodileman]

could you do the simple 2-1-2-1 base? Go up 2, then 1, then 2. might work :P

[ImmunityBow]

Contrary to what most spriting guides say, that doesn`t work. It`s very mathematically correct but generally ends up in a very jagged looking line. It especially doesn`t work here because of the obstructive glass and smoothie that can extend and flatten the straw at points if patterned as such.

[totodileman]

where is this list you are finding the exclusive items on? I for one didn't see berry smoothie.
