Sure, I can see the softer shading being nice. I find the shading on the horsea to be nice. But I think something is off about the shading on seadra's frontsprite hair. It lacks depth. Perhaps shifting the colors around rather than re-coloring would fix that. The fan is not really 2D. If you look at kingdra's backsprite you can see the base of the fan. I imagine the idea is something like temari's fan, so it's probably at least as thick as an arm. And most arms require shading. That being said the end part of the fan in frontsprite/backsprite don't match, but that's probably intentional. Hmm... I still think the lower half of kingdra's face can be more moe. The top half is good though. But perhaps this is just an opinion thing.

@CrookedWings427 Feel free to ignore anything I say. The horsea line (especially seadra) might benefit by making the shading a little more pronounced. Right now the shades blue you're using are pretty similar so it looks a little flat. Also where the lighting is coming from is kind of ambiguous. (See the lighting on Magi's Gardevoir) Edit: might as well copy past it in if I'm referencing it. Edit2: other comments - The dark part of seadra's hair in the front sprite looks weird to me. Probably mostly because I can't figure out how the hair is supposed to be hanging. - The edges of kingdra's fan (not the pointy edges, the long straight edge) needs some shading. It looks very 2D. - For some reason kingdra's face doesn't look very moe. Maybe you could try to go for the four lines face that Magi posted about before?

Minor edits. Edit: Tried some hair edits/ making the hair lighting more consistent with backpack lighting. Better/worse?

Are there forgotten/backlogged sprites I can try to help with? Since anything other than concept work is beyond my current spriting ability. Edit: Maybe bellsprout or abra family?

>.< The idea is wiggly giving a curtsy but I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing

Jigglypuff! It looks slightly(very) off but hopefully good enough for a rough idea?

@laGashetaHardcore Less spiky? mini-edit

@laGashetaHardcore But I think jiggly is the more swirly one =/ Clefairy is slightly spiky because of claws + horn + being star shaped

Tried a non-swirl hair clefairy. Mostly because my image of clefairy goes something like... pink -> round -> spiky/star -> hair swirl

@laGashetaHardcore I tried moving the hands out. The quality is worse and the hand is not cute, but I think the pose is cuter?

Alright so I tried a thing @Moetal @laGashetaHardcore Slightly more dynamic. I couldn't get the skirt pleats quite right =/

More experimentation like/dislike? preferences?

There was an attempt.

@Moetal Perhaps these are more magneton like? Do you think the base sprite is fine or should I try another base sprite? Edit: Tried to make her a little bigger Edit2: More bigger. I should try to put the arms back in =/
