I wish I were more artistically-inclined so I could say something more meaningful, but all I can muster is "wow". Very nice stuff. Your Fakemon designs have a charmingly subdued whimsical feel about them, I really dig it.

Updating again.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=32563 I think I was simultaneously channeling Oddish and Chimecho when I made this. I call him Littoril and continuing with my apparent fondness for making water-types it's based on a sponge (the ocean kind, not the bath kind). I'm a little worried that it (and some of my others) might be a little too simple. Am I crazy? Oh, and since I was playing around with tiles, this: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=32562 A very basic edit combining a pokécenter and pokémart. Your one stop shop! Feel free to C+C these and anything else. |
I wouldn't say that it's too simple, but adding some small details wouldn't hurt. Also, one of the most important aspects of a Pokemon is a memorable face, and Littoril doesn't really have it. Maybe you could add a little color to the face/lower body?
I know what you mean about worrying if it's too simplistic, though... I've been hung up on this one, trying to figure out what it needs. Sure, it'll look better a puffy, furry chest... but is that enough? It's a green rodent with a pumpkin on its tail, but that alone doesn't make it look like a Pokemon. Then again, some people try to put too many small details on their sprites, and it ends up looking too complex to be a Pokemon. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1594/tempf.png |

But you did do a great job with the coloring and shading of this picture :t354:TG |
Not much bad I can say besides something seems odd on Silliphone's shading. The bright shine seems a little too big...
|
These are gorgeous and very creative, you must have a lot of tenacity to have done so many. Wish I could give more of a useful evaluation, but what else can one say about excellent work?
Out of curiosity: Is Abysail based on the cephalopod Grimpoteuthis? |

Okay, now for an update. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=33783 I call this little electric birdy Chartail. Check the first post if you want to little blurb. I quite like how it turned out. Except for the feet. Don't look too closely there. |
Heh, I've always had trouble with birdy feet too. The left wing looks kind of weird without any feather patterns or shapes, and the way it's shaded (along with the light spot on the head) makes the whole sprite look kind of like... wax? Small feathers tend to diffuse light in a way that you wouldn't see a bright spot like that.
All that aside, does the name Chartail come from the fact that it's used by cartographers? The concept reminds me of the Southbird from One Piece, which is used as a living compass due to the fact that it always faces south. |
Haven't really had time to do much. Just some work in progress to keep my thread open.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=35127 An unfinished edit of a rocket grunt. Not much to say. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=35128 A sort of finished backsprite to my last fakemon. I'm still new to this backsprite stuff. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4339&pictureid=35129 Since I was already uploading I'm throwing in this very rough outline of a turtle fakemon. At this stage it's looking like it's going to be crossed with a buoy. And that's it for now. |
Keep Up The Good Work Scarf! |
The team rocket girl looks graet but I don´t like your fakemon they don´t look like pokemon but keep up the work.
|
Heh, looks like you're getting some differing opinions, there. I like the modified grunt... いい ボディ! d:Db
The compass bird's backsprite looks... Well, unfinished, as you said, so I'll hold off until you're satisfied with it. I somehow didn't notice before (maybe the shape of the beak isn't as obvious from the front?), but it's a cardinal, right? The... buoytle, looks great! As expected of you, while you claim it's rough, the line work is very clean, and the shading is smooth. The two problems I can see are the lowest pixels of the foremost appendage (they look unnatural, just a couple of pixels down there on their own) and the upper-right curve of the shell, which has an unusually long diagonal line. Still, though, it really does look terrific. It will look even better with some designs on the shell, and any other touches you add. Also, its face reminds me of a dugong or manatee. :3 |

I see those two areas you mention and you are probably right. I'm glad you like the line work otherwise. I feel like I've got the hang of that aspect of spriting. As far as what comes next I really have no idea. I'm feeling the creative block as you might guess from the near-month absence of anything new. I guess that means going back and fixing up my old sprites. |
I must say, those are some great sprites you have there!
I might suggest one thing though, (sorry if this might sound rude...) i think you should try to make your fakemon look more like... pokemon then digimon... They still look great though! I must also say that, that chartail looks realy cool :) Here are the ones i think you need to make more... "pokeish": Abysail - Google fresh digimon in google images and you will see what i mean! Marchase - It just... i dont know why... it just doesnt look like a pokemon! Marimon - Just give it a need name... come on... you even called it a mon! Winkap - It looks like somthing off telitubbies... Dazetail - I sware ive seen a bigimon that looks just like this... |
There's nothing wrong with the name Marimon... it's based on marimo, algae balls that lack an English name, and there's precedent for Japanese Pokemon names ending in mon... like Metamon (Ditto). The only thing you said that I agree with is Marchase.

Quote:
What Chesu says about Marimon is right on, but I'll admit I didn't think too hard about coming up with that name. I suppose I could have called it Marimoss or Marimold or something else with a familiar word to English speakers. |
Nein, muss es Marimon sein! >:0
|
Wow i really love your region maps C:

Checkerboard? ...Really? I don't see any checkerboard sprites or even anything close to a checkerboard; And yet I'm still baffled on how one would 'checkerboard' |
