Namo™ Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I still haven't decided how I want to bother commenting on recolors. They are something so simple and generally boring that I'd usually not have anything to comment on. However I have a hard time not commenting when there is something actually wrong with them. Recolor your Borders: Around the edges of the recolors you have an issue I find very annoying. You have a border color that does not match what it surrounds. For example' date=' a dark blue color does not work as a border for something that is orange. Chances are you most likely didn't change the old color. You have to make sure you change things like borders. A full recolor is required for the proper effect.[/quote'] it's not dark blue, I tried to make a black outline but never finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappio Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 It was an example, not necessarily specific to your recolors. If you want something more specific, the brown/tan border on Furret even though some of it is blue. Dark Blue on Purple for Vaporeon. The Yellow on Orange for Jolteon. The Brown on Purple for Flareon. Brown on White and Blue for Growlithe. Blue on Yellow for Suicune. So basically each and every one of your recolors have this unrecolored border issue. You also shouldn't change it to black if that is your plan, because that would also be bad. Pokemon sprites are meant to have a dark shade for their borders that isn't just black. It's not that hard to make one extra color for them, nor is it hard to actually recolor the borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jappio Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Then get your eyes checked. In the image above I've increased the size of Flareon. As should be obvious, there is a brown border around the flame areas. It is not black, and it is not purple. For a proper recolor you would have to change them to a darker purple. I also now notice the red around the eye, which also should be swapped for a form of dark purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jappio Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 You really shouldn't just do black. You really should try for a dark shade of the color being used on that area. Using Flareon for the example again, use a dark purple. Although black might avoid the issue, it is not the proper solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
