Worah Region Gym Leaders 8D
Update: I've started on the next batch of leaders, who can be found further down ^^
Update: Added Flying, Bug, Psychic and Rock/Ground Leaders and hereby proclaim Kyril my personal fave (He's adorable XP) Hi guys! I'm working on a Pokémon RP at the moment, and besides doing all the technical stuff, writing HTML pages(It'll be based on it's own forum) and so on and so forth, I've been doing some headshots(and a few possible badges) of my Gym Leaders... Mostly for fun, but it'll also help people get a feel of what they look like, and possibly a bit of their personality as well XD There's gonna be 16 in total: One for each Elemental type, except Ground, which has been put together with Rock. I'll be putting the leaders up as I make them ^^ Feel free to come with ideas too 8D Normal Type Leader: Prof. Alexis "The Analyst" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSAlexis.png ~Purity Badge: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/Purity-Badge.png Poison Type Leader: Bosco "The Businessman" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSBosco-1.png ~Corruption Badge[Not made yet] Steel Type Leader: Yuri "The Professor" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSYuri.png ~ Dilligence Badge[Not made yet] Fire Type Leader: Blaze "The Flagrant Youth" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSBlaze.png ~Gluttony Badge[Not made yet] Ghost Type Leader: Edward "The Hermit" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSEdward.png ~Envy Badge http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/Envy-Badge-1.png Dark Type Leader: Kaito "The Shadowy Gentleman" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSKaito.png ~Greed Badge http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/Greed-Badge.png Fighting Type Leader: Rei "The Brute" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSRei.png ~Wrath Badge[Not made yet] Dragon Type Badge: Shinzoku "The Calm Fighter" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VShinzoku.png ~Pride Badge[Not made yet] Water Type Trainer: Dylan "The Dreaming Philosopher" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSDylan-1.png ~Charity Badge[Not made yet] Hope you like~ Also please note that the badges are just rough drafts and is subject to change. |
They are so good!
They are really, really good!! Hope you do more!
|
they are good, but i notices that the greed and envy badges are almost the same thing.
|
these mugshots of the Gym leaders are awesome 7/5 :)

EDIT: Removed the base from the Envy badge, hope it helps differentiate them... It's just too bad that both Greed and Envy is assosiated with the color Green XD |
Yuri reminds me of Pryce too much.
Maybe you should do something about his clothes...? |

Wait a minute, are these just edits of the Johto Gym Leaders?
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSOldguyV2.pngPryce http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSBlaze.pngLance http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSEdward.pngFalkner And also from Kanto: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSBosco.png . Please. Try and scratch something? anything at all. |
Some of these are a bit to close to thier bases, as stated above.
You can identify Pryce's clothes, but the face is VERY well edited. The biggest offender of such is Shinzoku, who is just bruno with some facial hair. (he looks pretty good with facial hair, I must say) You have UNIVERSE-SIZED potential to be a great spriter, so keep up the work, practice practice practice practice, and always be original~ |
I know some of them are ALOT like their originals, but I really try to come up with some new stuff for all of them, such as giving Surge a suit(man that took a long time >_>), and turn Aaron into a woman(Rei), but I'm completely new to this, so I'm starting slow, but trust me, I really try ^^;; I actually meant to appologize in the first post about how some of them was just a tad too obvious, but I was just never able to make something that worked.
And to my "defense", Kiyoshi: I DID recolor his hair ;P And Paranoid: Hey, I've scratched some of their accesories... Such as Surge's suit, Blaze's smile and mask(though that one was heavily inspired by Will), Rei's ponytail, glove and breasts, as well as the glasses on Alexis and my friend's dedicated sprite, Shinzoku's scar(yeah, big deal, huh XP), Edwards face(in order to get the facial expression I wanted, I basically had to remove everything from his face and redo it) and finally Yuri's glasses, mustache and the top of his head XD I know it's not anything, but as said, I'm starting with details and then working up. I hope to be able to make something 100% scratched at some point, but yeah, I'm a beginner, plus I'm actually color blind, so right now, even making small things out of little colored cubes is hard ^^;; OH! I also scratched my badges! 8O EDIT: I got an idea and editted Yuri to make him more unique. I think it went well myself, especially because I feel his mathematician side shows more now ^^ Also, if anyone have any ideas on how I could improve each leader more, and make them more unique, I'd love to hear them XD Also feel free to come with ideas for the remaining Leaders 83 EDIT 2: I've just finished a minor change on Bosco... remade his hand. Nothing much, but it's there! |
Since the limit of pictures in a post is 20 or so(I read it somewhere XD), and I'll get very close to that as I finish up the badges for the first batch of Leaders, I'm gonna post the next batch here instead ^^ Starting with:
Ice Type Leader: Sasha "The Tomboy" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSSasha.png ~Temperance Badge [Not made yet] Flying Type Leader: Sheena "The Ferocious Sky Pirate" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSSheena.png ~Chastity Badge[Not made yet] ~Bug Type Leader: Sgt. Stone "The Veteran" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSStone.png ~Humility Badge[Not made yet] Psychic Type Leader: Kyril "The Street-wise Prodigy" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSKyril.png ~Patience Badge[Not made yet] Rock/Ground Type Leader: Chloe "The Stubborn Beauty" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSChloe.png ~Sloth Badge[Not made yet] Electric Type Leader: Sheila "The Prima Donna" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSSheila.png ~Lust Badge[Not made yet] Grass Type Leader: Rayen "The Peaceful Sage" http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/Neko_Kaw/VSRayen.png ~Kindness Badge[Not made yet] Also added Leader Titles for all my leaders ^^ |
My favorite is Edward the Hermit. @[email protected]
|
Character wise, he's my fave as well, though Sasha probably takes the cake as my ultimate favorite... I'm just so proud of that skiing gear XD
EDIT: Dylan, the character based on my friend, hs now become the Water Gym leader! 8D |
these are pretty good :)
although, it is rather obvious that these are edits and who you edited |
I never claimed they weren't edits. And some ARE also mixes XP But as mentioned, I really just do this to try and train and to have some pictures of the Leaders for my RP. Normally I'd have drawn it by hand, but I have no scanner at the moment, and I wanted to try something new as well ^^
EDIT: All Leaders have been posted! YATTA~! Lets parteh! XD Anyway, if anyone have some ideas on things that could be improved, I'd still love to hear them ^^ |
Yo. I'll be putting my comments on everything in red.

http://i49.*.com/bg8u38.png Now, the sprite itself is old, but it (and the character, Sabrina) are mine. No touching! D:< Anyway, the outfit was a pretty bad example because of the fact it's very dark, but the hair is a good example. Did you notice how Sabby's hair outlines were either brown or gray everywhere they came in direct contact with the light source (i.e., everywhere except directly under her)? It makes the lines look more natural. Oh, wait, there's more. Quote:
|
Thanks for your input! I'll try and see what I can do to improve them with that ^^
But first, counter comments XP: Bosco: It's not a mix... It's all Surge, just with added beard, suit and a remade hand Blaze: This was made kinda to fit a friends wishes XD I made the mask myself, so it's not "completely" Will XP Edward: Thanks! I'm very proud of him myself ^^ He's simple, but I feel he really has personality Rei: She was the first one I made actually, so I'm not surprised you see problems ^^;; But the breasts actually DO start where they should be, but I guess it's hard to see... I'll see what I can do ^^ Shinzoku: Yes... I'm not really proud of this one, but I just can't seem to think of anything to do to him D8 I'm sorry! Dylan: Only the end of the scarf is scratched really... So the errors you point out should be directed mostly at whoever sprited the original Morty XP But I'll take a look at it ^^ Sasha: But, but... I worked so hard on skiing gear D8 XP But yeah, I just found that the cross shading looked better personally Sheena: Same as above, though with an added comment on the hair... I did color out my lines O_o... Sgt. Stone: The shirt was inspired by Surge... That's just about it. Other then that it's chucks with recolored beard and a added helmet. Kyril: It may be hard to see, especially since I used a girl base, but Kyril IS a boy XP Chloe: There's no Misty... There's however some Erika, Whitney and Kotone. I take it as a victory that you couldn't see that XP Sheila: I wasn't really sure how to make it sparkle. Also... That it's in front of the hair, is, again, the original spriters mistake, but I'll see if I can fix it ^^ Rayen: You don't need to look something to be something! ... But yeah... This was made after an all nighter at 8 in the morning... I got a little... Lazy XP And then a counter comment to your note about the outlines: I'm colorblind, so in many cases it's difficult for me to find the right outline ^^;; but well... I'll see what I can do ^^ And thanks again Also, don't worry about that character of yours XP can't use it for anything, so it's safe |

I should have, but I didn't really think about it XD my mistake, feel free to slap me!
And tatoos... yes...YES! THAT'S PERFECT! It'll totally fit his character! Thank you! And also thanks for all the other ideas! I'm gonna get on that as soon as possible! :3 ... And about Kyril, he's supposed too look all young and innocent XD It was 100% on purpose that he ended up having a kind of girly look. |
Ah. I thought he was a rougher, less innocent sort because he's the Street-Wise Prodigy and whatnot.
[slaps] |
Hey hey... As mentioned before.. You don't need to LOOK something to BE something XP
EDIT: I've tried and fix the stuff you mentioned, though I'm terrible at tattoos T_T So he's been left as he is, still... *sigh* |
I know. But usually Leader titles fit their people, don't they? 'Street-wise' and 'young and innocent' don't always pop up in the same train of thought, do they? |3 Aww, it's a pity about the tattoos. It would have been cool to put all sorts of dragon designs all over him.
|
He's "street-wise" because he's basically a street-kid, as I attempted to portray in his picture. And again, he only looks innocent... Besides, I like to not have my characters be blatantly obvious all the time...
BTW: If you haven't noticed yet, I tried the cape thing for Rayen. Please give me your lovely input XD |
I noticed after I put up the post. Hold on~!
Sheena: It's good you took my advice, and I thank you for that, but there are also certain places where the outline should be black - the lines are only in color when they're near the light source, remember? Sheena: Much better! =D The earrings look fine, and the cover-up was good too. Edward: Just putting him in again because man, that kid is awesome. Though may I suggest changing the outfit, or at least the designs on it? Still resembles Falkner a lot. Rayen: Better! The cloak was done very well, shading and everything. :3 Put some patterns on the headband and you've got yourself a good Grass-type Gym Leader. Aaaaand that's it for the specifics. Though I can say for a lot of the Gym Leaders I saw the same problem: a lot of them don't actually personify their type all that well, and with the exception of one or two that's an important trait in a Gym Leader. Take, say, Sergeant Stone. His last name sounds like he ought to be in the Rock/Ground Gym, and his design further implies that; Chloe, on the other hand, doesn't really show any type at all save for maybe Water. Bosco looks like a pretty sleazy businessman to me, and so I'd be a little more keen on putting him in the Dark or Ghost position. Of course, Kaito also looks like some sort of sleazy businessman, so... yeah. Maybe put some more Type-specific traits on your characters. (Just using my own as an example again - the Water-type Gym Leader wears a swimsuit and sort of Phoebe-ish towel skirt thing, Rock-type Gym Leader is a Rhyperior cosplayer, Fire-type Gym Leader has red and orange two-tone hair and lots of burns staining his body, etc.) And if he's a street kid, shouldn't he not be wearing... you know... sleeveless, really open shirts and some sort of poofy hat? :/ Maybe put some Band-Aids or other scratches from scuffles on his face and arms, and try to implement some baggier clothes somewhere or something. My suggestion: Go back and look over them all. If you can see traces of the character base in them past the pose and/or facial features, grab some paper and just redesign them entirely. Pay no attention to whatever character base they'll be easiest on, but give them an appearance that works. If you feel like it, then go back to the sprites and edit them into the new look - they'll probably be a lot better, and all practice is good practice. |
Sheena: I'll try and get on it ^^
Sheena(Sheila? XD): Thank you ^^ Edward: I know he does, but again, I find that that clothing fits the character I was making very much, which is what I'm focused at the most. I didn't make these so I could show off some sort of pixelation talent, I made them to make my leaders, as I envisioned them. Of course, I don't want them to be exact copies, but I also don't want them to lose their character because I have to go out of my way to make them different. Rayen: Thank you! I wasn't sure how it looked ^^;; And yeah, I was thinking of doing something with the headband, just haven't figured out exactly what. And now for this: Quote:
For example, if I was to be made into a Trainer, I'd probably seem like a dark Type person, seeing as how I usually wear dark clothes and have hair(and if I smile creepily, facial expression XD) similar to Edward... Yet, when I look at the Pokémon I prefer, I see ALOT of Normal, Rock/Ground and Water types. A persons look, personality and preferences doesn't always fit like a glove, which is why I've made the trainers as they are. Chloe, for example, was one of the first ones I decided on... Instead of having some big rugged man, I wanted a little innocent girl, who just had a strange affection towards Rock and Ground types, claiming them to be "cute". These characters ain't there JUST to be Gym Leaders... They're characters of their own, so I want to put in alot of thought in them, not just say "well, he's water, so he'll be a swimming instructor named.. Uh... Wave!". I like to have people think again... But all in all, if you knew the personality and background on the characters, you ould most likely understand more why they have the type preference and Gym that they have. I just didn't really want to write out bio's for every one of them. Quote:
