Pure awesomeness man.. Any tips for a begginer?

Thank you, and sure!
I recommend you start by making 32x32 items, in particular Helmets and Swords, they are the best for learning perspective (helmets can be drawn from various perspectives), shading and simple/compact for outlining.

All you gotta learn to start spriting is picking out a nice color palette (5 colors is more than enough for a sprite), and learning how to shade by combining those colors.
If you don't know anything about shading yet, I suggest you learn some tricks by looking at other people's sprites by zooming in on them and inspecting the way the applied shades and highlights to their sprites. Check how they did it, in which measure, and at which places to get some effect of depth/glow on the sprite.

You can take a look on my website: http://www.pixelrealm.org/
There's a bunch of free downloadable sprites that you can use as templates, there's even some tutorials for beginners and what not.

Just take it easy and don't go with monsters until you master the items first. Once you feel a little more confident, you can try 64x64 objects such as drawers, refigirator, beds, etc. Household items are always a nice practice as you can find a ton of different designs on google to get inspired by.

Spoiler: Hydreigon Concepts

The hydreigon concepts i found have very interesting geometric shapes, with volume, as most of the pokemons.

Your have a lot of detail but it's flat, focus on the volume and you'll get a good cartoon! (that's a easy technique that PXG spriters uses on their remakes now).
The hands remind me a crocodile, with a global shading they would appear with Hydreigon one.

I liked that sprite so i remade it:

The way to draw is different but the shading is the same as in the perspective 45º, but with other light source (or not) you choose that.





Leshrot,

Leshrot,

Thank you for your insight, I've inspected your remake a little and noticed some differences that made me realize where the flaws are in my sprite. I will use this to improve my own sprite if you don't mind.
I don't like the amount of highlights you used in your sprite, it looks too flashy for me, but of course, I'd comply with the client who orders the sprite. So far they expressed satisfaction with my sprite so I'm gonna keep at it for this time.

Helpful stuff!

SDLFJSDKLfjal;sdkfgadklfgadfl;sgdf those sprites are awesome. I would kill to see them in-game! Sadly Medivia isn't my type of server.
Really good job though!

I couldn't agree more.

I don't mind, that was the purpose of my remake: help you!
We did that many times in Perspective 45, criticizes and edits for our friends to improve our quality, different views are always accepted..


As you said, you didn't like the highlights.
I also was not very pleased because the color was different from the concept, so I did 1 more edit.

Now I hope it's less bright and kept volume.

 

[Galiant]

I feel so proud seeing how much you improved Leshrot.

 

[Gildarts]

Damn, awesome!

@Leshrot & @Shadowsong congratz!

 

[Zakeen]

Just wow..

 

[HalfAway]

Anything new?

I believe Shadow is away on a trip and will be unavailable for a few days.
