Third time lucky perhaps? This is probably about as close as I can get to your style using GIMP. Again, ignore the subject matter. I just made some abstract shapes to practice with:

Well done! You're now the closest i've seen, tbh, i'd keep it the way they are for you, it shows your style.

@Pika22: They're nice, try to work on scratch work, but you need the darker outlines of the silver lining on the inside of the badge too, like on Asol, you can't see the lines at all because Absol's main colouring is so bright.

Not the Best ever made, but it's a start......

I'll still do sprite badges, but i'll keep the inner silver lines in mind

What program are you using? The Silver Lines are quite jagged, might want to try and sort those out, also the addition of eyes is a bit odd, but if that's your thing then its up to you.

Try to just pick out the main features of a pokemon and redraw them in your style, sort of symbolic.

The last one's bad.....

Main one. Never save as JPEG .... ALWAYS save as PNG format. JPEG picture quality is never good, so I can't give any feedback until you redo it in PNG format.

**master of murkrow** · 9th March 2011, 11:53 PM

well here it is in PNG

Spoiler:- Bronzor badge:

It doesn't work if you just take the JPEG file and resave it as PNG format. You have to make the whole thing again. The sprite is still incredibly blurry and low quality

that effect is cool to know- the matte of stripes over an object to make it glossy.

i think i might also steal the pokemon effect when you get a badge with the white stripe moving across the object and then a white flash

**Sklobington** · 18th March 2011, 8:08 PM

is paint shop pro acceptical as a subsitute to paint shop pro? paint shop pro is just too expensive for me.

**Lucas.G** · 28th March 2011, 10:57 PM

Ok, thanks for the info

I have the student version of Photoshop, so I figured I'd give it a shot... unfortunetly, I think it's because it's the student version but I just could not get that black outline around the silver. Or it could just be because I'm self taught. Anyway, I'll work on that but I still wanted to put this up here, just to make sure I've got the effects and all going the right way.

I used gimp. They are bad T_T

**Northern Lights** · 11th April 2011, 8:33 PM

^ the more you experiment and work on them you'll be able to create the same visual effect using different tools in GIMP, maybe.

I have the student version, so I don't understand why it's not working for you.

I will say a couple of things - one, it's a bit too complicated, I can hardly see the basic form of the pokemon and two, the silver lining is a bit thick.
