It may just look like a recolor of it, but I actually made the one on the left from scratch.
...It looks like it was resized from small, to normal and then recolored...Sorry to say.
Yes, it's rather hard to tell much due to resizing. If you have it, make sure to upload the original, un-resized one.
I would assume it being a trace of some sort. Did you have the actual Pokemon Ranger Turtwig beside the custom one while you were making it for a reference?
And remember, it's unnecessary and unconvenient to start a new thread for basically every update you make. Make sure to keep one thread to stick to, even if it's been several, several months since the last update (lolz, I've seen a billion revived sprite threads per member due to the original being only a couple pages or so back....) of the original.
