wow... its almost been a year since i've posted anything... no i'm not dead... just got bored of spriting... and then i read percy jackson (i'm a big mythology freak :P) and i thought... why not write a Percy Jackson fanfic with my own custom characters... and after a couple of chapters, i thought... why dont i draw a manga based of my story.... and after a couple of pages, i thought... why dont i draw a pokemon manga on the side... and after a few pages of that, i thought... why dont i make a hack that follows my manga... so i'm back :P

right in the middle of my exams, so not very good timing, but i've taken some time to do some light spriting whenever i take a break... so this is what i've been up2...

starting out... i wanted to fix up some of my sprites and update them... see if i've changed since i began... so this is what i've got:

Sharket(old) ----------> Sharket(new)

http://i48.*.com/s49hec.png ----> http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/5834/haemoragerevamp.png
Haemorage and its new sprite
lemme know what u guys think...

and also the protagonists of my hack:
(they're 17, so they're supposed to look older than the default sprites (and have more proportionate heads... kids these days... way too big headed :P)

Trysten


and ummmm.... i guess i have a scratch too... an ice rhino... this 1 was giving me problems, cuz i dont kno if i did the shading right... since its ice, its body was supposed to kinda resemble packed and shaped snow, if u can get what i'm trying to say... ah well... lets see if u guys think it needs some work :)

Nice, but it's too much like Sharpedo.
http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/5834/haemoragerevamp.png
I have nothing against this. It looks like a warrior :D

IMO, it's a bit too bright.

I like, although they have shaped existing pokemon (sharpedow-Marowak)
and trainers, I do not like many, are very simple ..
tries to improve .. luck ^ ^

meh... i was trying to give sharket a more pirate-y "arrg, matey" type of look... looks like i need a little bit more... hmmm... i'll see what i can change...

Haemorage was fun... i was trying to get more expression into the skull. I'm glad its worked out...

and the ice rhino, yeah... it is a bit bright... i was using glalie's palette for the white and glaceon's blue (both shinys) cuz i wanted it to look like a snowy icey thing... i'll play around with the colors... see if i can find something that doesnt clash....

yup... they're supposed to be shaped like that considering they're evolutions :) and i prefer the simple style... if I had to go on a pokemon journey, i'd probably wear just a tshirt and jeans... (and since i'm a guy...the girl has to have shorts nd a revealing top :P)

its really late, and probably irrelevant now, but srry dude, i'm pretty busy... the free time i get, i've been spending doing stuff for my own hack. Maybe after a month or so...

unfortunately, u wont :(, atleast not on here... i've decided i'm not gonna post the sprites i'm doing unless i really need some help, or c+c. I'd rather them be kind of a surprise when u see them in a hack. But like i said b4, we can use em in Pokemon Day and Night, so if we do end up using them, u and the team can see em :P

Now that that has been taken care of....

I Needs Your Help

I have a secret weapon very few other spriters have, that gives me an edge when it comes to ideas.

If you wanna know what it is, check the spoiler:
Spoiler:
A twin brother :P (he usually gives me alternate designs and names and stuff, so I always have an extra source of inspiration :P)


Neway... I ended up with two designs and i can't figure out which to use... So i thought i'd ask the community at large (well the 10-odd ppl that will actually see this neway :P) what they think should be the design.

I'm displaying it along with its pre-ev's so you guys can get a better feel for the line. I've also doubled the size so you can see it better, along with the original 64x64 sprite.

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/4476/helpchoose.png

Names I got so far are:
basic stage: Ribbolt
1st evo: Capacitoad
2nd evo: Surgeolith (which sucks according to my brother :P)

So like i mentioned before, i need help choosing a design, and maybe a name for the last stage... preferably something ending with '-lith' or '-olith'. So tell me if u like Left or Right :)

I like the one on the right, with the fangs. The sprite just looks cleaner overall, and the tongue on the one to the left looks awkward.

IceyPinkLemons July 25th, 2012 3:21 PM

I actually like the one on the left. With the right one, the puffy throat doesn't blend well and contrasts too much with the rocky parts of his body.

Qweedol July 26th, 2012 8:33 AM

I prefer the Left because IMO the fangs on the right one just look kinda weird and awkward, btw I am now in love with Ribbolt it looks SO awesome, but yeah i say Left

NV July 26th, 2012 5:36 PM

Right one.... You can always add a tongue for its second frame and it looks more like a final evolution than the left one does.

Rodriguezjames55 August 11th, 2012 7:55 AM

the left is more intimidating so left

PsychoToxin August 11th, 2012 9:26 AM

The left one is my favorite. It actually looks like something that would be in a pokemon game. Great work.

EMPLOY MY FAKEMON
Big image below:
Spoiler:
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9015/pokemonprimerapokemon.jpg
This was a random drawing i made to show the pokemon sizes i imagined for my hack. The guy is 17 and around 5' 10'' so it should give u guys some idea :P




OK... now I don't know how many of you guys remember my fakemon, cuz i've been on and off alot. Newayz, i've realized that i'm too busy to actually make my hack right now, however, i do want to see them actually put to use. Therefore, i've decided that i'm willing to let people who want to use/need fakemon in their projects to kinda "employ" mine for their use.

Here are the rules:

a) These are not public. You need permission to use them.
b) These fakemon still belong to me, and will be featured in my hack if and when i get the chance to make it.
c) You may make any slight modifications you want to, inorder to make them a little more unique and custom. This does not entail you to use them as a base for your own designs.
d) If u use the fakemon, i do want to know the names ur gonna call them as well as their flavor text. so send me a pm with it along with a link to your thread if any.
e) Yes, i like credit, and yes it is required.

Neway, just ask for permission if u want to use any, i'll probably let u use it if u have significant progress in your hack. Even if u dont, as long as i can see that ur actually working on it, its fine.

The complete list of the sprites i have is spoilered below. It used to be 5 across, but that became too tall, so i cut it in half and put em next to each other, so if u can't see the evolution flow, look below :P


I dont have backsprites for almost any of them, but i do have them for the starters, so i'll post them below. I will try to finish all their backsprites when i can, and i'll post them here when i get done, but thats not a priority in my life right now. If u like any of the designs, just let me know, and i'll try to get the backsprites done as soon as i can. If u don't need the backsprites or can get some1 else to do them for you, ask for the main sprite and i'll give it to you.


If you dont like the colors, change them. But please, no major edits or using them as bases.


Also if u guys notice my signature, i have a small screenshot of some of my tiles, so far i have grass, dirt, cliffs, a rock, a sign and a funky tree... if anyone needs em for their hack, i guess i dont mind sharing those too.

I don't know what file format the spritesheet is saved in, but whatever it is, it's made the whole thing a bit of a blurry mess. I'd like to see the spritesheet without the blur, if possible.

its supposed to be :P its jpeg to reduce the file size... cuz i just wanted ppl to be able to see what i've done all in one file :P i figured since only the design was important i would just upload this... but i guess if u want to see it, i'll send it to u when i get the chance.
