Thoughts?

It looks a little like the bigger eye is looking forward and the smaller eye it looking upward. The outline on the top half of the fluffy part seems a little too light. And I'm not sure I like the particular shades of blue you used for the wings and body. The wings just seem heavy with such a dark shade. Still, it's got the cute factor, though maybe the beak could be reworked to make it a little rounded, sort of like:

Chicari! ^__^
It looks so cute! <3 The design is perfect, and it's exactly what i meant.
Like almost everyone said, i just think you could improve the eyes and some other parts a bit, but otherwise it's great. Also, i think the feathers could be just a bit lighter.

The feet need to contrast with the body. Maybe make it yellow?

It looks... Awesome!
And Kilnary's wings were on fire too, after all.

blackmoonflower January 22nd, 2011 4:14 PM

The body looks a little odd to me. And the wings look kind of flat. Maybe use Pidgeotto as a reference?

I reworked Chicari a bit. Does it look better?

Good, you used the shading tip. See what i mean? But now it looks like a robot :/. Work on the beak, its to fat, and the eyes seem to lack... Life.

Logiedan January 22nd, 2011 7:44 PM

..The eyes look way better than before in my opinion. The whole sprite has improved nicely, but I think the only problem now is the wing on the right looks a bit jagged and detached. Are the wings suppose to function like arms and hands like Pidgeot or is it similar to Salamence's wings?

Eyes like those really go well with the the whole size, shape and color of the head. Maybe the body looks odd because it runs right into the head without much separation or it doesn't have much in common with a 'normal' bird shape.

blackmoonflower January 23rd, 2011 12:42 AM

._.

@ Nimblethumbs: The beak was fashioned similar to that of Swablu's. And I used Yooteri as a reference for the eyes.

I wasn't really sure how to attach wings to something made of clouds. The original concept description wasn't specific in that regard, but I did try to place them in a somewhat realistic manner (well, as realistic as you can get with a bird made of clouds. Also, I think I realized I suck at wings ._.'). I was assuming this was a bird that can just float and the wings are for show. That's what I envisioned, anyway. xoax will have to clear that part up for me.

And I suppose that's why Scarf thinks the body looks funny, since I just made it look like one big cloud with only a (very) vague shape of a bird body.

The bird floats somehow like Celebi, so you're right. I guess i went a bit too simple with the description.
I think it looks very good and balanced now, but i agree that the left wing looks like it wasn't angled properly.

Idk xD
Well i changed the top and eyes color, looks cool to me.
I pointed out what bothers me. the feet is ok I guess, i see nothing wrong now xD
And the wing. it just looks off.

blackmoonflower January 23rd, 2011 2:05 PM

xoax stated in the description that the eyes are supposed to be green.

ok i made two versions of furnary. which one do you guys want?

Nimblethumbs January 24th, 2011 3:03 PM

Second one, but the wing alignment and angling is way off.

You should also work on the shape of the body, and maybe alter the head since it's too simillar to the first stage.
Give it some feature that makes it different e.g. Pidgey -> Pidgeotto gets a purple helmet thing. Or Spearow -> Fearow has a long beak and slender neck.

Maybe make the head bigger and body smaller?
Also work on way the wings are meant to be posed.

So far the concept seems good, just work on it. ^^

So I've got a smaller hummingbird (I'm calling it 'Kolibud') to add as well as some changes to other sprites. Hopefully they're good changes. The red dinosaur now has racing stripes - everyone knows stripes make things go faster - and a tail like a spoiler. The flamingo has some awful bandages or something on its legs now because I couldn't come up with anything better. D:

@Metalflygon
Wow, that's some great stuff! I especially like the evolution, looks really intimidating! ^.^

@Scarf
Love Kolibud. The Dino also looks great. As for the flamingo, I like it, but I don't like the bandages, it looks somewhat - weird. xD

Nimblethumbs January 29th, 2011 6:13 AM

Wow, the octupuses/octopi/octopeople look real awesome.

I like kolibud, and [strike]dino-dude[/strike] the dino looks swell, but the bandages on flamincula look akward. Like it's actually covering the legs itself, giving flamincula a sense of 'the inability to balance'. If you want bandages, maybe you could wrap mummy bandages on the shin, all the way to the ankle.

Aside from being a little too obvious, I wanted to steer away from "oct" names because of Octillery; that's why I focused on "pus" names. I really like what you did with the sprites; it's rare to see Pokemon that look legitimately dangerous. Why is there a loose pot in the arm next to the beak, though?

Also, octopus don't have tentacles. :P

metalflygon08 January 30th, 2011 12:00 PM

It's got it in it's tentacle's grip, ready to slip on like a boxing glove.

blackmoonflower January 30th, 2011 2:13 PM

I kind of like Poke-A-Dialga's Furnary more. The wings and tail need some work, and it's a little chubby, but it's less plain. That's just my opinion.

Logiedan January 30th, 2011 3:50 PM

We could have a vote in which Furnary is more preferred like Scarf's Octopot and Metalflygon's.

For the furnary, i'd vote for poke_a_dialga, though it needs to be curved at the wings.

Also, I already did a tanlare, so mebbe we could vote me and dreamer?

Esper January 31st, 2011 5:40 PM

I knew my flamingo had problems. I don't have a new sprite for it, but I'm working on it.

If we're voting then I'll vote for metalflygon's octopus since it's already got an evolution that matches it in style and it looks more polished than mine.

whilest I'm not against highlights, IMO some pokemon don't need them, both Octos when I sprited them, were sprited to be dull, octopi arn't known for having a sleek reflective outer-coating, so I avoid that, Pokemon like Dragonite, who have scales that relfect light give a shade of highlight, but don't look bad without it. IMO, the lightsource in pokemon isn't so powerful that every pokemon get's a highlight, Azumarril and Octllary were what I looked at whe deciding how to shade, both have similar complexions as the Octorocks, and most of the Octo-capture-pot's I saw on google were not that siny either, made out of clay and mud, not very good at shining, so to speak.

I'm afraid we can't accept that sprite unless the concept artist wants to put his Fakemon idea and design into our community dex. Otherwise that sprite is not accepted since the idea belongs to someone else's 'fakedex' and not our communitydex. I don't know if I explained it correctly.. lol.

Chesu February 1st, 2011 2:10 PM

Oh wow, I somehow hadn't seen Scarf's new sprites! :D

Also, anything made from the "basic ideas for Pokemon" list doesn't need to show me as co-creator, since I didn't actually come up with the concept for the Pokemon the spriter made, just a suggestion of what one could be based on. Snapgon is a great example; all I did was suggest using a snapdragon. I don't want to take credit for something I did absolutely no work on. ;)

Chesu February 1st, 2011 2:27 PM

I don't think you need to worry about shiny forms or backsprites... Not until we have enough ideas to start finalizing them, anyway.

What's the rationale for making the evolution water/fire? I'm not criticizing, just curious.

metalflygon08 February 1st, 2011 3:11 PM

the bubbles Pistol Shrimp shoot momentarily hit the temperature of the sun, that's the part I plan to run with in the design, as well as a lone-ranger style Shrimp.

It chooses not to live with others of it's species, and instead protects it's home from Pokemon that would do it harm. Whith 2 claws capable of shooting bubbles, the right claw is more powerful, but less accurate, the left claw has a sight, but trades power for accuracy.

The Bandana is actually part of it's 1st segment, in evolution, it will become a poncho, and the evolution will be based on Poncho Vila!

These ruthless pokemon shoot super-heated bubbles at weak or wounded pokemon for their own amusement, usually never with their own kind, they will occasionally team up with Gouybe's to attack coral communities. It adjusts the power of it's shots by widening it's pinsers before firering. It can also hold it's shot in to cause a massive explosion. The only pokemon brave enough to face this pokemon is Shreso.

NovaStar February 5th, 2011 9:36 AM

Well it's been incredibly long since I last sprited so for now I'll just leave a here if anyone want's to tackle it.

Name: Maitomb [Maye-tüm]
Etymology: Maiden + Tomb (or Phantom)
Species: Based off of an Iron Maiden; either meant to be an evolution of Cofagrigus or a split evolution of Yamask
Class: Torturous Pokemon
Type/s: Ghost/Steel
Pokédex Entry: It is said that Maitomb have once captured souls of whoever stumbled across it's resting area. Some say that you can hear the faint screams of it's victims coming from it's interior.
Ability/ies: Iron Thorns/ Mummy
Description: I'll just leave this quick sketch-up I did, of course its suspected to change:

There other on I had in mind was a Brazen Bull but I'll get that idea together and finalized before posting it.

The 100 Mega Shock February 5th, 2011 9:42 AM

I was under the impression we were striving for Pokémon that aren't related to currently existing ones.

NovaStar February 5th, 2011 9:50 AM

Oh very sorry then. I guess I'll go on with the Brazen Bull and just table that for the moment. Again my apologies for the misunderstanding.

It looks great. However, i think the eyes should be larger. Other than that, i really like the sprite.

metalflygon08 February 5th, 2011 2:45 PM

hopefully not stepping on any toes, but I made an edit of my own to it...

Nimblethumbs February 5th, 2011 3:00 PM

I like the first version, the highlights seem more even.

Hyperpulse February 5th, 2011 4:01 PM

Thanks for improving my sprite guys, it looks much better now.

trinity_pt February 5th, 2011 4:36 PM

The first one without a doubt

Negative-Zero February 5th, 2011 4:40 PM

i like the second one better, its a more creative seperation than the first one's.

I agree completely.

Perhaps the smooth one for females and the zig-zaggy one for males? Also, I really think making Perimask a dual Water/Ghost type would be cool.

EDIT: I was bothered by some parts of the outline on the sprites, so I went ahead and changed it: http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2048/perimaskf.png http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9606/perimaskm.png

Samson February 5th, 2011 9:13 PM

i think i finally figured out what the mask is missing: two different expressions (=(

one side comedy, other side tragedy.

also, i think it would probably highlight the "drama mask" look more if there are some accented features above the 'mouth' to look like cheeks. perhaps you can do something interesting like make the cheeks have gill-like grooves.

That's an octopus, isn't it?

blackmoonflower February 6th, 2011 11:36 AM

Shouldn't Tanlare and Perimask be somewhat related? Like Solrock/Lunatone or Nidoqueen/Nidoking? Since they both seem to be based off of theatre masks. Tanlare could be comedy and Perimask could be tragedy. idk, just stating my opinion. :nervous:

Samson February 6th, 2011 12:03 PM

oh i didn't even know about 'tanlare'.

but yeah, if Perimask (Perish + mask?) is tragedy, what is Tanlare? o.O

Logiedan February 6th, 2011 4:32 PM

Why would it need two different faces if it only has the aspect of 'perish'?
I think the outline was fine when I edited it, it looked quite smooth in my opinion. Plus the eyes look less anti-aliased now. :c..

According to the first post, Tanlare is the evolved form of Perimask. I'll probably have a go at spriting him within the next few days.

I dunno, I guess I just wanted it to look more official, most Nintendo-made Pokemon sprites have little-to-no anti-aliasing; so it looks more crispy.

Logiedan February 6th, 2011 9:14 PM

With the new style in Black and White, there is a ton of anti-aliasing I believe.

Samson February 7th, 2011 8:15 PM

from what i've seen myself, there are a lot of dark outlines and coarse edges, so i'd have to disagree on there being more anti-aliasing in BW.

besides, BW uses animation and generally anti-aliasing animated sprites is rather difficult to implement.

Logiedan February 7th, 2011 10:09 PM

It is in Pokémon's style where markings and such are anti-aliased to make it look smooth such as Electivire's body markings.

Nimblethumbs February 8th, 2011 3:51 AM

A few pages back, I had a WIP tanlare.

I looked at the description of both. Nothing said that one was the evolution of the other.

Oh, silly me. It doesn't say that they are evolutions of the other, but I think it's a good assumption. (They are both water types, they are both described as having dull black eyes, the same person created both concepts, one is right after the other on the list, etc.)

Chesu February 9th, 2011 1:14 PM

They're partner Pokemon, like Solrock and Lunatone or Plusle and Minun.

pokepokemo February 10th, 2011 7:08 AM

is sprites still accepted here?

Logiedan February 10th, 2011 7:12 AM

I'm going to assume yes, sprites with ideas are accepted, just not the spriteless ideas.

Nope. They are evolutions. I guessed that's obvious, but it wasn't. n_n;
Anyways, i really like all of the sprites you made for my descriptions. Thank you all! ^^

Esper February 17th, 2011 7:12 PM

Keep the 'dex alive!

Quote:

Name: Dripocel
Class: Water Spout Pokemon
Type: Water/Steel
PokeDex: Dripocel amuses itself by knocking birds and insects out of the air with bursts of water. This is especially effective against Kilnary, resulting in the two frequently fighting.

Description: An ocelot with tubes protruding from its back and hose-like tails.
http://i52.*.com/15cng36.png

I hope this is sufficiently water/steel looking. I wasn't really thinking about the types as I was making this.

Wait. Tails? Totally missed that. Oh, well.

blackmoonflower February 18th, 2011 8:08 AM

Yay! It's not dead! :D

It's cute. Maybe you could add additional highlighting to make it look more like a steel type? Or maybe some plating on the legs and head or something... And one more tail couldn't hurt. ;)

Humm96 February 18th, 2011 12:48 PM

http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc505/Humm96/Pandarr.png
I give you LEPIPE :)

LEPIPE
Type: Grass
Class: Panda Pkmn
Pokedex info: It climbs trees and waits for yanma to fly by, it then hits them with its bamboo and climbs down to eat them. It uses its leaf to cling on to trees while it feasts.

hope you like it :) change it if you want, i know it isnt great as im only a beginer with scratch...

Oh, like giving it a more polished chrome kind of look? That's an idea. I'll see what I can do about adding some kind of plating or similar metal stuff to it. Or someone else could try. I don't mind if anyone wants to adjust it.

I don't know about two tails though. That reminds me too much of Buizel.

Chesu February 19th, 2011 8:43 AM

The concept actually predates D/P. :D

It's fine with one tail; the base form has two, and Pokemon is, naturally, all about changes in physiology. :D

Samson February 19th, 2011 10:30 PM

scarf, i really really like the sprite, but i feel that it needs some adjustments to the design to meet the typing and description. perhaps try making the legs less realistic and go for some flat, round shapes... in this instance, i would look at the deoxys forms and the various limbs as inspiration.

or hell, maybe even just leave the sprite as it is with a different typing.

That looks so adorable!! I don't think it looks very STEEL; nevertheless, I wouldn't change it. I think you should consider changing the type, as has been suggested -- possibly water/normal or just pure water? Not sure.

Humm96 February 20th, 2011 6:16 AM

leave the sprite, it sounds more like a real pokemon if it gains a steel type when it evolves such as the pokemon starters, they always start of as just water/fire/grass type and then as they evolve they gain a type, such as Charizerd is a fire/flying or venusaur is a Grass/poison

Nimblethumbs February 20th, 2011 6:34 AM

Ok, i gave it a steely appearance.

http://i51.*.com/2iut1ja.png

Esper February 20th, 2011 10:57 AM

It does look more steel-ish with those colors.
http://i51.*.com/2iut1ja.png>http://i52.*.com/15cng36.png

But if retyping is an option I did originally make it with different colors:
http://i54.*.com/2rohqpz.png
Which could work with some other concept. But I think we can go with Nimblethumbs' colors.

countryemo February 20th, 2011 11:15 AM

Nimblethumbs one looks cool, the yellow one looks more like cheecub? or whichever it was.
The evo should have some sort of steel plates :P

When the colour palette allows for it the artists will do as much as they can:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/21/Spr_5b_094.png

Pay close attention to the shading on his body.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/03/Spr_5b_348.png

Quite a bit around the shading and outlines.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/c5/Spr_5b_512.png

Plenty on the face, hands, body and shoulders.

They can't do it all the time because the sprites still have a 15 colour limit, but I hope nobody here is strictly sticking to a limit that's down to outdated DS hardware.

Samson February 20th, 2011 9:56 PM

hey, i still sprite to GBA limits so back up son! lol
