No Cosmite? I'll try Mechasnap out :D Redo: I'm not really sure about the colors and I just can't sprite, but I got a feeling this is a start.

They are a good start, but I have some suggestions. The intermediate pixel color you used on Multipede's face dosen't look like the right color. Those tiny pixels are supposed to blend the colors together, so they have to be an intermediate color and shade. The blender pixels you put around the shiny spot on Multipede's face look desaturated, when they would probably look better (in this case) as just a darker shade of the same color used in the shiny spot. Also, you've used that same color on the right edge of the face. I don't think it needs the highlight there. To blend with the outline you need a darker shade than you did with the highlight. Look at my little Worgeddon tutorial to get a better idea for how to smooth the lines with intermediate pixels. On Quenchi you added highlight pixels to the tail that make it look like it has been beveled. I would get rid of that. I think the effect you were going for was to smooth the outline, in which case you need to change the colors of the line itself, rather than add pixels to the sides (if that makes sense). If I get a chance I will post some pictures that illustrate my point. It is really hard to describe. The real trick to getting these right is in working with the outline. Knowing where to add shade to it and how to smooth it out and stuff. It can be a real challenge. If you don't understand this blurb, feel welcome to ask for a better explanation =P

i haven't really changed the colors yet...

You made a good guide on how to recolour but in order to colour and shade it right, the outline needs to suit the shadow as well. Everything works together. Your example with Worgeddon had a good original outline so it worked but there are heaps other sprites that may need their outlines redone in order to utilise correct shadow application, or in other words just a complete revamp. Just a little tip, don't use intermediate colours that often. If it's between two shades of the same colour, there's generally no need unless for example the pokemon's skin has a furry or fluffy texture etc. Yeah, just saying. Recolours are only one aspect of a sprite revamp, but outlines are important too so don't forget about it completely.

I had done an urich too but only put it up on the shoutbox... this was mine.

I think this one looks alot better, even though I think I messed up the colors when decreasig saturation.

I agree with TwilightDusk, the eyes should be more like the original. And -quite the opposite of Lody- it should be more 'green' and less 'zombie', especially the stem. The other one looks great!

Sprites are derasterized and desaturated. Also added some touch up outlines.

Did some more.

Think I uploaded this a while back as a revamp but i reckon this one's one of the revamps i did where the original design wasn't changed TOO much. And seeing as there wasn't really anything i could do to the current lolzie sprite, i decided to post this one.
