Idea Revamping Sprites

[SpheX]

With permission from the man himself Patrick, I will be continuing the work of Uncle_Psychic that he was doing with revamping Shadow sprites for Pokemon in Vortex. Whereas this will be looking at covering needed changes or updates to sprites across all Pokemon front/back, normal/unique. Not every single Pokemon will be getting a revamp, just where there is room for improvement or changes that are necessary to keep consistency (for example: evolution lines with Shadow sprites not having a continued colour scheme). Anything done here will be sent to Patrick for approval and if deemed satisfactory will lead to implementation in the game.

I will redo sprites that fall under these categories:

1. In need of reshading.

2. Inconsistent colouration.

 

If you come across something you feel needs a rework, feel free to provide your suggestion below.

Please note that only those Pokemon which match the criteria will be selected.

Use the following format while giving your entry:

Pokemon: [Link the sprite]

Fault in sprite: ...

 

Thank you in advanced for your contributions. ☺️

Example of reshading:

Old Snorlax (Mega):     

 

New Snorlax (Mega):     

Overall sprite is smoother and has a more defined shape.

 

 

Example of colouration:

Old Shadow Alakazam (Mega):

New Shadow Alakazam (Mega):

The spoons' colour on the old Mega version of Shadow Alakazam did not match. Where as now, it has it's own matching cutlery set.

All shiny pokemon are designed like their official shinies and all shadow pokemon abide by a set of restrictions. (dark purple main colour, grey for accents and red eyes [sometimes red for extra parts if it is needed]

*edit: We are NOT looking for custom requests to suit your personal preference, but rather touch ups to make existing sprites as good as they can be with only NECESSARY changes being done. Transparency to add a little flavour where it is appropriate, Reshading to make sprites stand out better and Recolouration to make dull parts line up better against others or to add more variety. (The last one is mainly for Shadow Pokemon)

I think for shadow mega charizard x make its flame outline or full flame a diffrent color so it pops out a little, it looks really dull as its all almost the smae color

1. Pokemon: 
Fault in sprite: In the back-side sprite of Mewtwo (Armor), the tail aligns with the head, but in the front-side sprite, the tail aligns with the hand. 
2. Pokemon:  
Fault in sprite: The front-side sprite of Quilava shows it to be bowing down, but the back-side sprite shows it to be raising its head.
Would appreciate if you could correct the fault in these.
           Thank You

[Tritre]

I would appreciate it if you could change the sprite of [ Shadow Mewtwo (Evolution) ] to a bit different version. For now, it seems to be resembling too much with [ Mewtwo (evolution) ]

 

Thanks.

Shadow Rookidee looks a bit... weird?

 

I don't think the colours suit it well. (especially the eyes)
