Raelen Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 You will have no trouble graduating. ^_^ I have seen this splice before lots of times and if there's any critique I might give is that I, personally, think that the black inside of the ear is too thick where it is close to the head. It looks a bit too wide. It's up to you though. I like this one! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappio Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Well I went in and tried to alter how strong the black is. I can barely notice a difference, but I did fix an ugly stray pixel while in there, so I think there's a nice level of improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG. Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Someone, Jappio, Raelen, even Zeroshot or Twisted, HELP! I made my first splioce in like, ages and I know it will sucks balls, so be prepared: [spoiler=Splice Information]Name: AzchoktonPokemon Spliced: Koffing, Magneton and AzurillOther Info: The name is Az from Azurill (Az), chok becuase the gasses from koffing make you choke (Az-chok), and ton from Magneton (Az-chok-ton). I know the image looks messed up, but I saved as PNG I swear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappio Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Now I'm not really a teacher or anything, but I can suggest a bit since you asked. As far as the file type. Either you did at some point save it as .jpeg. If at any stage you do save it as a .jpeg, it will always be messed up. Assuming you did save as .png every time, then the answer would lie in your uploading. Perhaps the site that you uploaded it on changed the file type, perhaps you clicked some check box that alters the file type. As far as the splice itself, it doesn't quite flow. I blame the magnets for one. They seem out of place and don't match it. The ball on the tail is also too round. Koffing has lumps and is not smooth, the ball on the tail should be the same. Perhaps the magnets would match if you recolored it, or gave it a metallic texture, although texture alteration is hard, it's beyond just a simple color swap.

JG. Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks for the hints, I used TinyPic for uploading. And I saved as PNG every time. And again, thanks for the hints, it's my first splice since our contest;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jappio Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Just made a splice for the contest, I might as well show it off here I suppose. I gots to get all the extra credit I can so I can graduate =D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you want to be a teacher? That way you can critique splices.. Also, on your new splice, it's way too monotone and simple. No one will be impressed by that. Try another combination of those Pokemon. There are better things you can do with them. @ JG: I'm pretty sure you did not save as png. Either that, or you saved it as jpg and then saved it as png. Either way, it's not png. ^_^ @ csaman: Nice! I would change the color of the suction cup things. Purple, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Haunter's purple? Yeah, and to be honest, I liked the original better, but you are the teacher Yeah. I was thinking the same thing...Maybe if you changed to dark yellow border you still have on them, it would look better. You need to make the dark borders of the suction cups dark purple.

Just look for the borders that aren't purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try another combination of those Pokemon. There are better things you can do with them. I don't really feel like being a teacher, I'm going to be critiquing at a different place, I wouldn't have the time to do it here. As far as the splice being too simple, I half agree. I though wanted simplicity, and i don't think it is too much. As far as impressiveness, I created something that looks new, looks like it is own being. The balance is pretty even in my opinion, no one piece is obvious. I guess really if this thing is impressive or not depends on what you're looking for. Even put together and create something new, or make a large flashy thing. I don't mean to argue the critique, perhaps I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it more now. ^_^ @ Eocdragon: The butt is too flat. Make the butt more curved. (Unless you want a really flat butt.) @ Jappio: If you say so. All I know, is that if I saw that in a contest, I wouldn't vote for it.And I think you can graduate. Do you want to graduate? If you graduate, you can still be a student here.

(It is very closely related to 07jamesd's Digglet + Oddish splice..)Yeah, adding the roots may be good! I'm glad to see you are using your head!I am also pleased that you did not save as jpg or delete and or not recolor borders! You are getting better. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappio Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Why not? I don't mind graduating now. I might pop back for some critique from time to time. I'll be fair and critique others when I expect it. Well I guess Now that I'm graduated, I can join the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
