I think I'm going to give Snakeason a try as my first B/W-style sprite.

I think it'll be nice if you added the name origin like ikeCharmander's name is like Char(to burn) + Salamander also add the species so it could help the spriters with the concepts and designs.

Chesu January 1st, 2011 10:21 PM

There should also be a list of things the we need and don't need. For example, I think there hasn't been a single Fighting-type suggested, while grass and water are in surplus (sorry about that). I mean, this project will probably be going for a pretty long time, there's no rush, and even if it ends up with seventy Grass-types only the best will be chosen for the final index... but having a direction to launch from always helps.

Also, did I imagine it, or did someone of authority say that we had enough spriteless ideas (sorry again) for now?

Spherical Ice January 2nd, 2011 1:27 AM

I did say that we had too many spriteless ideas but I guess no-one listened.

Anyway, I'm going to catch up with this later today, I've got guests coming around. >:

(Logie, if you could help it'd be appreciated n_n)

In any case imo the sprite's already good as it is.

Anyways, here's Swampike:

Name: Swampike
Type/s: Water
Pokédex Entry: It is a large pokemon, as big as gyarados. It has a short temper. Scientists are unsure how wimpike evolves into this monster.
Ability/ies: Torrent/intimidate
Description: [Wimpike's evolution]
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6557&pictureid=50995

The design's pretty neat, but why do I get a lot of Raichu vibes from it ;(

@ Poster
I geuss it's cause of the dorsal fins which resemble Raichu's ears, and maybe the stripes lol. xD

Anyways, I did a Blaydyte quickie, though I couldn't make out what it was by reading the description and the only thing that came to my mind was a beetle...

Blaydyte has a blue line running all the way down it's back, forming into an arrow between it's eyes (If you ever watched Avatar: The last airbender when you were little, it looks like aang's arrow). It has a blue marking on each of it's four stout, stubby little legs. It has a jagged razor blade as a tail, but one side of it is stuck to it's rear/back part of it's body, leaving just the blade sticking out, giving Blaydyte the inability to swish it's tail. Blaydyte has a small blunt horn on it's forehead, used for shaving off treebark, it's staple diet. Blaydyte then sits on the treebark to cut it into bite-sized pieces. All of Blaydyte's attacks are attack based, and are carried out with its bladetail, so it looks really wierd, as the opponent sees the rear end of the pokemon flying at them. It's horn is unsuitable for combat. One thing is sure: You don't want this pokemon sitting on you.

dead-man-walking January 2nd, 2011 6:29 AM

Jumping on the bandwagon to give you guys ideas. :3 I can't sprite for a living, though. ):
I see pistol shrimp and narwhal. This is gonna be epic.

GAUSSRIMP ("Gauss"+"Shrimp")
Water/Electric
Guts/Sniper/Sheer Force

Dex Entry
It stores up energy on its bent arms. When releasing a strike with its arms, it releases shockwaves that could stun a larger Pokemon. Their small size makes them easily underestimated, though.

Written Description
A gray-ish blue lobster with blue-colored arms and pincers. Its arms are bent back, forming a makeshift held-back club. Its legs are also blue.

NARLBARD ("Narwhal"+"Halberd". I know it sucked big time)
Water/Steel
*No idea for abilities*

Dex Entry
It is usually docile. But the males become wilder and more competitive in mating seasons. Many fishing ships have been destroyed by NARLBARD during mating seasons. This is due to their bad eyesight.

Written Description

Armored whale with a... halberd-thingy... on its lower maw. The non-covered parts are blue, and the armor pieces are light gray.

Hope that helps. :)

Its great, but the tail's end (not the flat ends or the jagged ends) are meant to be stuck on his back along the arrow.

Well, too bad. Maybe try to alter it so it doesn't resemble Raichu anymore?

About Blaydyte: you got it accurately, I think...but imo if I didn't see the typing I wouldn't have guessed that this is a Steel type at all. ;/

tnguye3 January 2nd, 2011 8:05 AM

@Nimblethumbs
Aaaah ok I get it. So he whacks his enemies by doing a forward roll, makes sense now lol. xD

@Poster
I think it's fine as it is (excuse - actually I'm too lazy).
And yeah I tried to put more highlights to emphasize the "steel"ness but hey! Jirachi doesn't look Steel-ish. xD

Well, if anyone wants to make fixes/edits/improvements feel free to edit my sprites, they still aren't finalized-ish anyways. ^_~

Now, back to playing the 3rd birthday...

Lineart: http://www.pokecommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58369&stc=1&d=1293893981
Name: Perripus
Species: Secret Agent Pokemon.
Type/s: Water/Fighting
Pokédex Entry: Perripus is a secret agent, but he likes to laze around in ponds in his spare time. He seems to like wearing brown fedoras.
Ability/ies: Quick Feet/Intimidate
Gender Ratio: 100% male, 0% female.

Yes, it is a WIP, but I want to be the one to finish it so I can display it in my wonderful gallery of cool sprites Failmon instead of my suckish pillowshade flower whose name I am not going to mention. So, no touchy~

Also, the colours are there to remind me what part is what.

And yes, Perry the Platypus is from Phineas and Ferb.

Um...I'm not so sure about having a Perry the Platypus Pokémon. :/ It's just a copied idea. Perhaps we could come up with a different idea for a platypus Pokémon?

Quote:

OH GOD NO JESUS SAVE ME

How about a bowl of rice? Using shades of grey and white could do it. Also since not many colours have been used on this one. (Dunno how rice will look like in the shiny version though lol)

Well, as ~Wind~ said (V) it's the noodle Pokémon. Perhaps there could be an "opposing" Pokémon based around rice. Though that's for later, as we're PACKED with ideas and are lacking sprites.

Quote:

I like both versions, the noodles are good.
But then i thought of something, maybe the noodles could be part of the female version?
or maybe just smaller noodles on females?

I think we're overthinking Chanpuff. :/

I think it's a bit meh-ish, though.

Yeah...but like I said, I'm not so sure about the idea as a whole. :/

Um, the whole idea of this thread is to work together. :/

New idea brought to this page...

Name: Blaydyte
Bladetail pokemon
Abilities: Guts
Type: Steel
Pokedex: It is a small yellow creature with no distinguishable head. It's skin is so tough only a diamond cutter can penetrate it. Blaydyte has a blue line running all the way down it's back, forming into an arrow between it's eyes (If you ever watched Avatar: The last airbender when you were little, it looks like aang's arrow).

There's too many hightlights in my opinion. It makes it look more glossy and shiny. ):

I'll edit it...eventually.

It is kind of big. Regarding the color, purple and orange play well together; maybe use the orange version, but make the orange stripe on the head and the spots purple?

I am, too. I'm not so sure why we've given it special attention.

Etymology, yes. Some ideas have it on the first post. I'll add it to the form (and the species).

Good idea, though that won't be a priority as we aren't going to be working on concepts for a while (I think we should get at least a third of these concepts sprited, even if it's just WIPs).

I think it's best if we work on sprites for now, instead of introducing more concepts. Remember, you can always expand on what we have!

Okay, just in case I haven't said it enough:

For now, let's work on the concepts we already have, instead of giving more and more ideas. I think we should get at least 1/3 of the concepts we have now sprited before we add more ideas. Thanks!
If, however, you can provide a sprite with a concept, than it's fine. It's just concepts without sprites that we have in excess! n_n

Nimblethumbs January 2nd, 2011 10:39 AM

So, well I made a userbar...

http://i52.*.com/28tdueb.png
I figured Kolibloom was one of our best sprites...

I suppose all the contributors could put that in their siggy.

I just updated my already accepted ideas with information necessary for proper spriting, and added more detail to their descriptions,such as the name origin that Logiedan pointed out, as they were pretty bare. I just meant to replace the updated information with the old one.
There are no new ideas,as i have read your annoucement about no new Pokemon "requests". x)

Since i'm doing a Fakemon MMORPG i have a lot of Fakemons done that i could donate here.

I have back and fronts for all of them.

Question: Can we use the fakemons that have been posted here?

Spherical Ice January 2nd, 2011 12:33 PM

If you want to use fakemon here, I suppose it would be up to the people who contributed to them :D

I think it's unneeded. I mean, if you look at jirachi or mawile, you wouldn't think it's a steel type.

Spherical Ice January 2nd, 2011 1:21 PM

Well, Jirachi is a star, and the closest thing that isn't fire type to a star is probably steel/metal, and Mawile does appear Steel-y, what with the colour scheme and general appearance. Still, it was just a suggestion, n_n.

Yeah, but if you look at blaydytes highlites, you'd think its steel.

Chesu January 2nd, 2011 3:11 PM

Winter and Spring versions of Snakeason. I'll work on the other two and edit these to look less... horrible, after I've done more research on B/W shading and colors. I just don't get the outlining methods at all.

Also, Summer and Autumn will look more intimidating; a cold snake is a listless snake, and I didn't really have any ideas for the Spring version's expression.
