    HeroOfSinnoh came up with great idea - a place, where you can publish your art, and chat about, or about other art, other published.
    Here you can also share small pieces of art, ones that are not too much to fill up a thread of your own. If you feel like you made something awesome, but it isn't worth making a thread just to show it. Post them here. We all love to see good artwork, graphics, banners, wallpapers, sprites, etc.

    We also have plans to showcase the good pieces posted here in the original post. To inspire other designers and artists to try and get to the original post. Most probably we'll be doing the showcase by the week, meaning that every week a different art item will be showcased.

    Rules:

    * No spam, porn, trolling or insulting of any kind.
    * Post art you made, and not stolen, or copied.
    * You're free to give criticism and discuss the artwork but when giving criticism make it constructive. Also, don't go off topic. This is NOT a thread to discuss what you had for breakfast this morning.

    Have Fun!

    P.S. : The showcase won't be starting until the place gets a bit popular. So bear with us. :)

    Pixel art. Took me ages, but i really like the result :3

    @HeroOfSinnoh nice sprites :3
    I really liked the right one, but i have a little problem with the legs of the left one, they should be in different position imo. but that's doesn't really matter o:

    Thanks :3
    Do the leg look that unusual? Not that experienced with this spriting business. But I can guarantee that Zapdos has stupid legs. ;_;

    Considering the pixel art ... that ... is ... win, amazing, pro.
    'nuff said.
    No critique for you. I can't critique perfect creations.

    Honestly Gilad, I think you should put a larger version in spoiler tags, it's very hard to pick anything out from it as it is.

    Anyway, I'm trying to learn how to colour things with programs like GIMP and I think I'd need some pointers on how to grasp this.

    I'm not really the one to comment on coloring activity but I see some flaws with the wings. Maybe you should add some more highlights to the wings? You know, just to get the gleam, sort of instead of painting it whole in gray. But, pro Scizor is pro. The businessman style, suits it.

    Gah, I had posted a nice thing here, and it got lost due to host change ;_;
    Anyway I really love Gilad's pixel art, and Hero, what program did you use to make those sprites? Because with Graphics Gale you can edit an image pixel by pixel, and so maybe you can get rid of little imperfections like those legs... I like them tho, keep up with the good work! And about the nice thing I had posted, I am busy now, I will repost it tomorrow...

    I am happy that you liked it Hero... :)
    And now the nice thing I had promised: when I make a theme I always start from making the Challenge window, and I really enjoy doing so! And now the result is that I have a folder full of challenge windows I never used, and that I will probably never use. I am posting them here and, who knows? If one of them gets a big feedback I could make the whole theme around it! :)

    You should make the Orochi Version of KOF, the other version seems bit distorted.

    I'll repeat what I wrote last time, I think you should recenter most of these, considering everyone but Garchomp is more or less completely obscured it makes the final product look a bit... shoddy for lack of a better word. King of Fighters even has these really nice backgrounds with a lot of free space in the center that I think you should utilize when focusing a theme on it. Some like the Lati@s and Captain Falcon also suffer from low quality, are you sure you resized them properly?

    Meaning I can't really make out the picture. And the Iori version is really not that eye pleasing.

    I think it looks really neat, but there seems to be some awkward little dots on Raikou and Roserade. Victini and Roserade also stands out in being a lot brighter then everyone else, I think if at all possible you should try and darken them slightly.

    On another note I'm in the stages of trying to redesign some of my old Fakémons, and would be happy if I could get some input on these:

    The dots were a problem, I noticed, yeah. I unfortunately didn't find a way to fix them. The Roserade being bright the case while Vicitini was meant to be brighter than the rest. Making it stand out, because it seemed like the MVP of the team and the team was built around it.

    The fakemon are nice although not very realistic. I'm talking about tree like thing on the far right and that thing below it. The Turkeys however, are a whole different matter. I can totally see the Turkeys in a up coming gen. The design is near perfect. Maybe the coloring would perfect it.

    @Tears really nice work :3 You can also try to make the buttons yourself, otherwise it looks abit like just using another backgrounds everytime. ;_;
    But the images are really good, i suggested it to you because they are good and i'm sure you can do even better :3

    @Stofil Really good too c:
    I'd make some blur on the shading, so this will look more realistic, but that's fine like this too. :3
    about the other paintings. really nice too. too bad you didn't color them too ;_;

    Wow Stofil, you have quite a good imagination about making fakemons... I have a BIG imagination about it, but sadly I suck at drawing... ;_;
    Anyway thank you all for the criticism, I will try to make my works better and eventually make a theme out of one of them as soon as the summer is over (I have too many things to do now...)

    Colouring them will go along with the eventual redesign/touch-up, but I'm curious about this blur-function, is there any good GIMP tutorial detailing these tools?

    @Vuvu

    You know I freaking love your Bane, but Gaara is probably the objectively best of your sprites so far, it has some nice shading too it and just fits well, I think you should try and give a similar treatment to Buu and Master Chief.

    Thanks for the compliments @_@

    I completely agree on Master Chief. I just forgot to add shading, probably because the armor took so damn long >.< Anyway, here's the original version as opposed to the shaded one:
    [​IMG]=>[​IMG]

    As for Buu, I'm not really sure what to change, as I've shaded it. The pants perhaps? I improvised the shading on those iirc. I generally tend to stick to the shading from the original sprite, as I assume the artist who made it had a light-source in mind.

    Also, by Tears' request, here's Trunks: [​IMG]

    It just seems strange that things like his pants have clear black outlines while the body overall is just one colour of pink. Considering the firebreather having accessories all over his face the lack of shading there is understandable, but Buu who has nothing in the way might benefit from either lighter shading near the source of the flame or darker by the back-end. Also Master Chief looks fantastic now, and you told me you can't sprite :)

    Well, it's not really one shade of pink. Lower right part of his stomach is shaded, as well as the lower parts of his arms and the back of the thing on his head. I think I'll try to dark grey as an outline for the pants to see if it works out better and shade the head a bit more as you suggested. I'll edit the edited sprite into this post when I'm done.

    I've just started with drawing, Stofil is my mastah (pro)

    I got dis (the Turkey)

    [secret][​IMG]

    And the preevo of the fakemon Turkey too (bad camera ftw)

    [​IMG][/secret]

    I've also drawn my rain team *hellyeah*. Thundurus came out pretty bad...it took me like 30 minutes, and I still couldn't draw it decently, so I left it as it was

    [​IMG]

    I have other draws, but those are my favourite (and probably the best ones)

    Here's a Probopass I made for Stofil some year(s) ago:

    [​IMG]

    I am aware how messy it is.

    Here's another Probopass (also made for Stofil) that I just finished. I'm really lazy with shading and stuff like that. And I know his lower-left body is "missing" :c

    [​IMG]

    Here's a version where the Probopass has thinner lines on his nose, is it better or worse?

    I definately think the last version is the best, the smaller line just made it fit better overall. I'd say you should try shading up the irises and maybe make some lighter shades of highlight as well, but aside from that I'm quite impressed with it.

    While the first image is terrific, the second one doesn't really show enough ferocity to do justice to the title you have given it.

    Yes, I screwed up the left eye and dropped my eraser(down the sofa ._.) so I couldn't correct it.
    Btw, the sofa is heavy(VERY heavy), so I couldn't move it. .-.

    There, I added some shading to the irises. Not really my forte, but I think it looks better than before.

    EDIT:

    I changed the shading on and under the hat a bit:

    [​IMG]


    EDIT2:

    Added some shading to the nose and top headpiece.

    Ok, I am posting here some fakemons I made (if you read my signature and you are wondering, THEY ARE NOT for my project), since I finished preparing my luggages earlier than I thought. So here we go:

    Terrortur (Inspired by Stofil/Luck Skill's turkey)
    [SECRET][​IMG]
    Dark/Flying
    Base stats: 95 HP
    100 Atk

    Landrineck
    [SECRET][​IMG]
    Ground/Fire
    Base stats: 58 HP
    110 Atk
    60 Def

    I am too lazy to add in-depth descriptions now: if you want them, or if you want to see other fakemons, just lemme know :)

    @Snickeor

    I think you pretty much nailed this one now. I especially love how derpishly innocent it looks, Stunfisk must be his bro. I'm eagerly waiting for that Heatmor I requested.

    @ Burnin'Red

    Something about both of these eyes seem a bit strange, I believe it is due to the lines of the eyes being so incredibly thin outside of the very right. I know it isn't the Naruto-style, but I'd suggest either getting some eyelashes in there to give it some depth, or reinforce the lines a bit thicker. Also since it seems to be a focused piece, maybe some lines to show the person in question is staring?

    @TiH

    ... Is that Spore?

    I also finally finished the first possible colourscheme of the turkey, it's based on an earlier sketch by Snickeor that mixed the softer, warmer colours of the turkey with the confederate sign.
    [​IMG]

    Thoughts? This was done more or less exclusively with the pen-tool, since the brush has a nasty habit of muddying up the sketch before it's coloured. I... need to learn GIMP better.

    A Tentacruel I drew.

    Ignore the Drifloon on the side and Ampharos on the top, they sucked (despite coloured).

    EDIT: Also webcam quality is terribad

    On a sidenote, I used HoS's Pokeball picture as a wallpaper :3
