I've fiddled with purple a bit. I usually use purple, raspberry, plum, and lavender for the gradient and its been pretty good, but not as smooth as other colors.
Yeah, I've done some with the raspberry and plum, but they were just way too dark for this. It's still a good bit darker than the original sprite art, imho.
Just now finished this little guy. :D My husband's character, the Admiral Jordanis Jackal, done as a bead sprite. I used the wolf head from the charas generator, but the rest of it is original. :)
Yet another pony. Making the bees was interesting, since this was a custom character, so I had no existing tiny bee sprite to start from. I think I did okay, though honestly nothing that small is going to be quite perfect. :P
Finished Jolteon! And it's a good thing too, since two of the Eevee evolutions are going in the mail to people tomorrow! But I had just enough time today to get a couple of good photos.
You know I actually have no idea what game this is from. A friend suggested it, and now I can't remember... but I liked the sprite, so I made it. This is the thumbnail version, the full size would be like two feet tall.
But what is this touching the wing? It appears to be a paw!
It is a paw! An adorable kitty paw! My cat naps on the fur tub there all the time. It occasionally makes working on my little workspace rather interesting. He hasn't knocked over a sprite in progress yet, but I expect eventually he will.
