body parts are missing, crappy rotated sprites and it looks rather like a pumpkin :V

Let's see....

Pillow Shading (GROSS!)
Unnecessarily zombie-like (IT AIN'T HALLOWEEN!)
Definite use of the circle tool WITHOUT editting (BIG MISTAKE!)
Only one yellow pokey with one animation. (WTF?! Yellow pokeys are like....the original!)
No body poses (headless body parts) (NOT USEFUL!)
Unnecessary arrow thingies (do these indicate that it blows up?)
Yellow pokey has odd shading (Uhm.....where's your lightsource? It appears to be in TWO spots!)
Size Changes (They don't expand to my knowledge)
Crappy rotation tool (NEVER DO THAT!)


Final Ranking: "IS THAT A HAIRBALL?!"

Sorry. But you need a LOT of work to do. It's a WIP at best. All the above are problems that need fixing.

Pokey are reminiscent of cacti, yes, but you depict them as if they were tumble weeds.

Go check out a few Mario Games. (Better yet, go to Super Mario Wiki)

I really don't know about SMWiki.

About the sheet, all Soiyeruda said is true, with the exception of...

"(WTF?! Yellow pokeys are like....the original!)"

The pokeys in SMB2 were green.

So it's stylized? Imo, thats good. It's nice to see some originality aside from the regualr cookie cutter sprite.

M&L would like to have a word with you. You can do it, you just have to be selective of when.

hur dp

doublepost alert :V

yea he could´ve said that it´s in a style and it´s still useless since there aren´t even body parts, plus the pillowing isn´t that great.

Allow me to clarify this for you guys.
In YI, there are creatures that some suspect to be Pokeys, you know, the things that fly out of Green/Yellow/Red Pirahna plants mouth. I decided to make them Pokeys, if they werent already.
The green one is only a pokey head that bounces, and at random times will stop bouncing, and puff up. He will then imitate a metroid enemy, the cacatac, and fire small yellow thorns from his body.
1: Bouncing
2: Puffing up

The yellow one has no animation because I'm to lazy to do it right now.
Anyway, I see no pillow shading, in fact, it looks fine to me.
(I had to magnify it to get the sheet right, and saw no pillow shading)
But I must say he did kinda come out looking like a hairball, but at least I have a light source, unlike most of my sprites.
And no he doesn't blow up, read up there. ^

And I have been playing a few mario games lately, one of which is pokeys first appearance. The green one was based off its head, but because I wanted a style of my own, I made him look like he was a pumpkin, just for my own custom style.

I based yellow on his first apperance too.
Anyway, take a look at YI, thats where the green bodyless pokey came from, an idea from that game.
Any more comments?
