Samson January 2nd, 2007 2:37 AM

thanks folks! and yah, ray, i didn't mean for it to be game-like sprite simply because the jynx/electabuzz/magmar evos are quite unnecessary anyway. i just felt like doing some scratch work without drawing. wattsie: sure, feel free.

ok, some more.

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1536/weesulxj9.pnghttp://img225.imageshack.us/img225/1575/bouyselqe9.pnghttp://img215.imageshack.us/img215/6684/floatselyy0.png

Wesul, Bouysel, Floatsel ... respectively. the wesul sprite is from scratch, and (if you couldn't tell already) is bouysel's pre-evo. the bouysel sprite is the official D/P sprite with a palette reduction and some outlining adjustments. the floatsel sprite is a redesigning edit of the original D/P sprite. about 75% of the floatsel redesign is from scratch spriting, but i used the exact same palette.

why i redesigned floatsel? the thing looked rediculous and was obviously why its moveset is ATROCIOUS. it looked too alike to bouysel and looked like it always gets slapped around. so yeah, i'm happy with how it looks *now* ^.^

EDIT: i noticed Floatsel lacked some shading at the bottom of it's body, so yah, i fixed that and a few outlining probs.

Karasu January 2nd, 2007 5:42 PM

Holy crap. Dude, your sprites are by far some of the best I've ever seen. Keep it up, man.

Gulpin January 3rd, 2007 5:57 PM

I think you should use the redesigned floatsel as a floetsel evo or a different bousel evo (If you cange a little of it)

Can I make you a T-Card With your FakeMon?

Here's a Fakemon T-Card- I didn't copy the Fakemon though. Trust me.

Samson January 5th, 2007 9:04 PM

lol hey that actually looks nice!! ^.^ thanks for having an interest in me fakemonsters, but i decline putting that thing in my sig. why? 1: i hate abusing sigs. 2: YOU DIDN'T EVEN CROP THEM ALL OUT!! XDD

seriously tho, use them however you like, dude. i never figured they'd looks so nice on white O_o...

teehees, anyway, here's another fakemonster:

http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/5013/elaglisszx8.png

Elagliss, the Skii Pokemon. ability is speed boost (or w/e it's called) and type is Normal/Ice. it has a pre-evo, but it's exclusive for the Chaos Black hack. i'm also thinking of making it an evo... it's moveset is set around the cutesy/Baton Pass strategy.

i have so many things to sprite, now... so overwhelming =/

EDIT: w00terz... i hadn't noticed it until just now, but i have over 100 custom fakemons now!! it's a shame because i still have so many more to sprite ._.

JBCBlank January 6th, 2007 4:54 PM

Hey Samson would you mind if I were to make a compleat Fakemon Dex for your Fakemon? I think it would be cool, I'll even number them and put the info and the stats and scetch a full anime pic of each.(I'm getting kinda carried away but I really think we could do this!) We will have to work together of course... ^.^

~JBCBlank

Samson January 7th, 2007 1:31 AM

heya jbc... and no i wouldn't mind, but i wouldn't want to do something like that YET. i still have a lot to sprite, and a good bunch to resprite, so until then, i'm only concerned with spriting them. i'm doing so many things as it is at the moment and doing something that most people would probably just skip over won't be a priority activity in any near future.

anywho, here's some pre-evos:

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/503/lecklezr4.png
http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/2669/vircalffo9.png
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/8365/trotterlq2.png

names are Leckle, Vircalf, and Trotter (respectively). leckle is keckleon's pre-evo. vircalf is tauros/miltank's pre-evo. trotter is stantler's pre-evo. they're all normal type, of course. the only special thing between them is that vircalf has a target design on its forehead, and is described as the "head ram poke".

much more pre-evos and evos to come.

alexkm January 7th, 2007 3:13 PM

wow those r like really really nice
those should be in the game xD

i really like amorswan and occultales it's like real pkmn in the game xD

KeesZ January 8th, 2007 9:05 AM

Lol, your edited posts are really funny =P.. My favorite scratch of you is Vircalf, the idea is great.. I also love the pose ^_^

Samson January 13th, 2007 1:28 AM

thx... and keesz, yah vircalf is one cool fake ^.^

anywho, here's some more:

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/3152/mawaidrz7.pnghttp://img95.imageshack.us/img95/5074/mawilezp2.pnghttp://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1541/jypsoltv1.png

i'm so unhappy with this set of pre-evo/evos. the drawings look so much better than the sprites, and the shading is just bad. i'd redo them but i don't think it's worth it. anyway, the pre-evo is Mawaid, and the evo is Jypsol. mawaid is a trap poke (moves are astonish, clamp) and jypsol is a seduction poke (moves are meteor mash, shadow punch, curse, metal sound..). so yeah, mawaid is steel while jypsol is steel/ghost.

Unborn-Lugia January 13th, 2007 3:02 AM

Hello Samson. I am admiring your work and i am a big fan. You are very good at "Scratch" sprites. I wish you well!
Unborn-Lugia

Samson January 19th, 2007 8:33 PM

umm thanks, but why'd you put quotation marks around scratch? o_O... THEY ARE!! XDD

ok, here's another evo.

http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7185/dunspargoos8.png

Dunspargo, normal/dragon. me likey.

EDIT: another.

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3762/brambory5qr.png

Brambory, Steel. skarmory pre-evo.

Samson January 20th, 2007 11:04 PM

mmk...

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/1884/knifish0ep.png Knifish, Qwilfish's Evo.

if you can't tell, it's a Swordfish poke. the spikes on its gill area are actually its gills. it has the same moveset as Qwilfish but learns Poison Tail, Spike Cannon and Acid Defense in addition.

Death Rogers January 25th, 2007 6:02 PM

Your sprites are incredible. I bet Satoshi Tajiri would pay to have some of those in the next Pokemon game. Seriously. If someone said they were made by Ken Sugimori I'd believe them. These make my sprites look like something someone pulled out of a clogged toilet pipe. (Not that mine wouldn't anyway. LOL)

Would you tutor me to make better sprites? I'm serious. I like making sprites but I can't, sadly. If you're interested in giving me lessons, PM me.

Samson January 27th, 2007 12:32 AM

thanks, but even i know that they're quite amateur, which surprises me that so many people want to learn how to sprite them. i really like helping others, but i'm bad at explaining things, and most of the time, just don't have the patience. and besides, as a photoshop junkie of almost 6 years, i truly beleive that people never learn effectively enough through tutorials and the such. it's all about experimentation and comfortability, really... and so, i decided that i'd put in *some* effort of intruction for hopeful spriters:

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/350/bofsth8.jpg

going into detail would go on forever, and, yet, it still wouldn't mean anything to someone who is trying to learn. these are just the basic steps... all i can really suggest for everyone is just work on it. don't just settle... keep trying at one sprite until you are satisfied, and have learned something. with each sprite, i learn something new, or relearn a previous lesson. for instance, the Illaimant sprite (http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3303/illaimantbz0.png), i tried so hard to give it an angular flying stance with my outlining that i trapped the position of the body. i kept having to play with the body until it had some *very* small bit of deceny. also, with the shading, i tried to give the head area more dimension with 3 shades of blue, and it just came out looking bad, so i learned that sometimes you can pull main colors off with only 2 true shades.

anywho, back to Illaimant. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3303/illaimantbz0.png
it's Bug/Electric. the whole idea is that when illimuse and volbeat evolve, they become independent pokemon with independent movesets. however, when an Illaimant finds itself in trouble, it sends electromagnetic signals to volbeat's evo (which will be Bug/Ground) so that it can protect its natural mate. they make just as good as mates as they evolve because volbeat's evo is not harmed by Illaimant's electric convulsions, and instead, get's a fuzzy little warm feeling inside XD. illimaint will sustain a high sp attack while volbeat's evo will do the same for its own attack stat.

KeesZ January 27th, 2007 1:03 AM

Wow, I love it! She's so cool! The tut isn't very detailed but you're right. Scratching isn't something that you can learn from tuts.

Samson January 30th, 2007 10:39 PM

thx... and i'm glad you agree. most people don't seem to understand that. ^__^

i was finally able to sprite volbeat's evo, Beatote:
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/9064/beatotect3.png

it's bug/ground, as previously mentioned, and is defined as the "Protection" poke. basic bug and ground moveset.

KeesZ January 31st, 2007 1:30 PM

This one's very cool too! I like him.. Your sprites are always very original and the shading and outline is perfect.. Wish I was that good, guess I have to practice some more x3..

Samson January 31st, 2007 9:03 PM

thx, keesz, i appreciate it ^.^... you will definitely get there the rate you keep working at it. makes me feel good that someone else is making the effort.

well, here's another evo:

http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6968/hulkwellil1.png

Hulkwell, shuckle's evo. bug/rock as well. i'm not too happy with the sprite, but i love the design. it's by far my best.

Belzeebub February 1st, 2007 4:43 AM

your spiriting is amazing!
really!
I wish I could do stuff from scratch, but unfortunally I can't. This is really great!

Just one thing. I think Brambrory looks like more like a bear/koala than a bird. but maybe it's just me.. oO

anyway, Great gallery!

Skeetendo, Inc. February 2nd, 2007 12:48 PM

Wow these are nice, I especially like Wesul, its cute :P Very Nice Work!

zak February 8th, 2007 9:57 AM

wow
 
your fakemon are amazing samson! keep up the amazing work!

Samson February 13th, 2007 3:11 PM

thanks folks!! well i've got news... I'M DONE!!...

well not necessarily. i'm only done spriting NEW fakemon. as of now, i'm completely respriting my older sprites to (1) reduce the palette, and (2) make em awesome looking! a lot of my fakemonsters have new looks, especially Tadturp, Wogspur and Frondit (my grass starter line). there are some other fakemon that i haven't revealed to you all that i'm respriting but you won't be able to see them until they are implemented into the hack i'm spriting for, Chaos Black. but here's a little taste of what i'm doing:

http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/1707/amorswanrv6.png

well lookee there, it's amorswan!! hot as a fox if i may say so myself ;)

EDIT: well lookee down here, look who else has come to say hello:
http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/2887/dinolqn3.gif

it's dinol... again! except now, it's been resized for GBA limits. strangely enough, the GBA sprite looks 10x better than the pixel art. is it just me? o.o

Death Rogers February 16th, 2007 7:51 PM

The new Armorswan is awesome, but I liked the old Dinol better.

Icey-Chan February 20th, 2007 11:07 AM

Hi, sorry if I'm being a bother, but I'm an Admin in a Pokemon RPG forum, and we are looking for a spriter. These sprites are amazing. Your help would be apprciated,but if you aren't interested, seeing as you are already spriting for Chaos Balck, that's okay. If you are, though, please pm me.

Thanks ^.^

I sound like a business man. Don't make fun of me. >>

Samson February 20th, 2007 4:53 PM

the old dinol? but it was weird looking... lol thanks tho, DR =)

and icey, i try to be as nice as i can on forum boards, but i can NEVER be as nice as i am honest... i looked at your site's pokedex (yes, ALL of it), and i wasn't amused. i'm sorry, i must sound like a total arse considering you just complimented my sprites, but i wasn't going to ignore you in my own thread =/... and as you know, i AM already involved in Chaos Black which doesn't measure to being a full-time university student. sorry, but i am sure that you if try hard enough, you can improve your spriting skills. go for it... connect 4. ^.^

ok, well i'm done redoing sprites and reducing palettes. it all comes down to backsprites. i've got my starter line fakemonsters' backsprites done, and geez, they're pretty tough. i looked at a lot of the backsprites from FR/LG, and i gotta say... backsprite shading is so random. in some, the lighting comes from the top right, while others the top left. so when spriting them, i decided to screw perfection and just make them. they're quite ugly...

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/610/tadturpnj0.gif
http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/3888/litscorptn3.gif
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3910/tarnaquaxwt6.gif

sorry folks, but that's all i can show!

zak February 21st, 2007 8:16 AM

wow
 
there not ugly at all man , these are by far the best fakemon ive ever , ever seen , cant wait to see even more of your fakemons, are you gonna make a fakedex???

Death Rogers February 21st, 2007 10:32 AM

I think it's best top-right. Just imagine the view of your Fakemon from in front. The light's coming from top left, no? So just imagine it turns around, so the light would be coming from the top right.

And those backsprites are awesome. I can't wait to see how Dinol's backsprite would be.

JBCBlank February 21st, 2007 7:29 PM

COOLNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! is there anything else to say...? I think not.

~JBCBlank

ProtrainerEon February 23rd, 2007 7:32 AM

Is there a hack for these? That would be awesome! Someone should make one soon.

Samson February 27th, 2007 7:06 PM

thanks... i might make a fakedex when i'm done with everything. i actually am contemplaying on whether to sprite these sketches that are looking better every time i look at them. and YES, as i've mentioned all throughout the thread, these fakemonsters will be in the Chaos Black hack.

ok, PUBLIC GIFT TIME!!
http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/2887/dinolqn3.gifhttp://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6504/dinolkn2.gif
Dinol sprite AND backsprite. feel free to use them for whatever you want. if it concerns a game or hack, here is the *glorified* information and moveset:
Instrument Poke - Normal [Pound, Sing, Uproar, Supersonic, Belly Drum, Perish Song, Screech, Hyper Voice, Slam, Teeter Dance]

stats, move levels and dex information is all up to you, but ChaosBlack will have the actual information when it comes out.

Captain Arcane March 1st, 2007 11:19 PM

Wow Samson, great job, the're all unique, and I mean really cool! ^_^ 10/10, 100%
Keep up thr good work!

omfx___harley March 3rd, 2007 4:31 PM

hmmm well they're okay, but i've seen better.

noland12 March 8th, 2007 1:37 AM

[IMG]myimages/shabowlugia[/IMG] gee isn't it fake oh wait is there a photo

raubie March 8th, 2007 8:01 AM

That looks SO awesome!
I'm in love with your pre-evo's!
although I don't really like your brambory and knifish...
The Illumise and Volbeat Evolutions look extremly cool though, keep it up!

EDIT: Do you mind if I use your sprites as a concept for custom overworld pokemon sprites?
I currently got other things on my mind however, if I finish them I could show them to you
and I might use them in my game aswell, if you're okay with that of course.

Raubie

Fox♠ March 8th, 2007 10:03 AM

All are amazing, you surpass half of the Nintendo sprites themselves, the shading and anatomy are perfect.

I love your Wesul and Dunspargo.

King_kid64 March 10th, 2007 3:21 PM

I like racooda & leckle there kinda kewl

doesn't matter March 12th, 2007 9:27 PM

Hmm, I think I need to remind you folks that more constructive messages are actually a requirement in the PA section. If you're going to comment on the sprites, back it up with reason instead of just leaving it as a simple comment.

And JBCBlank, you are not allowed to by pass the 25 character limit.

7se7en March 19th, 2007 9:35 AM

i like them! they are good...espeicially from scratch!

piplupbetterthanturwigandchimchar March 27th, 2007 9:24 AM

That's pretty cool. Do a skarmory evo!!

Lucian March 29th, 2007 4:21 AM

sweet, i loved em, i would like to see some more

darthjarjar March 30th, 2007 3:26 AM

Pretty good, their ideas behind them were well thought, some look futuristic though, not something i would see around this time period.
and the ice eevee nevermeltice level up idea is good, makes me wonder why gamefreak used such weird ideas such as level up at ice rock :/

good job on these though, im impressed.

The Boy of Soul......... April 6th, 2007 4:21 AM

I like these alot so who will do the hack with these fakemon in??

AztecSunshine April 7th, 2007 8:33 AM

wow cool i wish i can sprite like you can

Samson April 7th, 2007 12:21 PM

thanks folks!

it's been a while. i've had my backsprites (120 of them!! o_O) completed for a while now, and i still have to do some for Enix's fakemon, but i took a little hiatus to try to recuperate my spriting ability.

i'm on a downward spriting slope =(. i'm not a real spriter... i wish i knew how to select the perfect shades of colors. my shading and outlining is just wack. how does one sell their soul to the devil for spriting? XDDD

anywho, i've gotten better at designing concepts on paper, but my spriting just straight up sucks. i feel like my designs deserve better spriting XD

for example, here are some sprites i made recently:

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2471/titaneonqv5.pngTitaneon

worst sprite EVAR

then i started making this line:

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8677/skarabifqr9.pnghttp://img484.imageshack.us/img484/4581/mantibifeq9.pnghttp://img410.imageshack.us/img410/8386/himagosrx5.png
Skarabif, Mantibif and Himagos

the colors are just ghey and himagos has the ugliest stance EVAR. i completely ruined their sketches and concepts =(. if you can't tell, skarabif is a scarab (or dung beetle), mantibif is a praying mantis, and himagos is a carnivorous instectadragon thingie. i seriously tried all kinds of colors and stances for this set and i just couldn't make them any better. what a waste of time ._.

i have about 15 more concepts i want to finish spriting but i don't want to ruin them like i did with these =/

----------------------------------------------------
on the other side of the complaining, here's another public gift:

http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/7326/amorswanye5.gif
Amorswan's backsprite!! to think... that was like less than two months ago having sprited it. =/

Captain Arcane April 7th, 2007 12:39 PM

Cool, the Evo line is awsome, I really like the last evo, uh....hehe, that Titaneon is.....bad. -_- Sorry, I feel bad forsaying that.

Samson April 7th, 2007 5:08 PM

XD don't feel bad at all! i completely agree with you... 'TIS CRAP. and thanks...but i have some bad news.

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5343/himagoski5.png
i edited it a bit. i think it looks a lot better now. you?

BlueEew April 9th, 2007 2:58 AM

Wow, amazing. Your sprites are brilliant. I like your concepts and ideas, and you have scratched them beautifully.

KeesZ April 9th, 2007 4:19 AM

Yayz, you're finally posting fakes again ^^ I like the sprites, I have some comments, though. For Titaneon, nice fake and nice concept. His pose is just a bit weird and I'm sure that it will look even better in an other pose. His tail's also a bit weird.
The evo line is ok. I think you should use and edit colours of pokemon sprites for your fakemon, it may look better. Btw, the edited version of the second evolution is great. Good job on them.

Death Rogers April 9th, 2007 4:47 AM

Yeah, Titanium wasn't good. But I think you just need to get back into the spriting groove.

Frazzler April 11th, 2007 10:30 AM

Wow, these deserve a run-down =]

Amorswan - Very pokemon-esque. The colouring is just right.

Dinol - Doesn’t strike me as very pokemon like. His facial features mostly, despite that, it’s a very well constructed sprite.

Xymitarn - It has very large claws for a pokemon based on a panther, maybe a panda. Also, its stance makes me think its had an accident and doesn’t know what to do about it. Again the facial features don’t strike me as pokemon-esque, maybe make it less detailed, and fiddle around with the eyes a bit. Although, the construction, once again is flawless

The two concepts. Um, don’t look too good compared to the rest. Maybe a bit small?

Chimaeo - I like this, well detailed, lovely concept. The flowing parts are done brilliantly.

Osculates - Its nice, clearly tell what its supposed to be. Its neck is slightly long… on second thought, is that just me?

Botaneon - Not too keen on this one personally. Odd eyes and the petals on the tail seem to come from the back of the tail. If that makes any sense.

Glacion - Nice flowing parts. Still don’t like the eyes but overall nicer than the last one.

Panden - Another more realistic animal face. Looks a bit odd to me. The rest of it is very pokemon esque. Nice and simple, nice colours and again, able to tell its spindas evo.

Racoodo - The face, especially the muzzle is a tad skinny maybe? Make it abit fatter and prominent. Also, I feel the tail becomes thin too quickly before it attatches to the pokemon. Colour schemes awesome as is the idea of a racoon pokemon.

Xenother - Wow. Just wow. I really love this one. So awesome, no confusion over whos intended evo it is. Maybe just shading on the bottom of the blue banding? That’s all, if anything. Love eet!

Wesul - Over-all, nice, very nice. Gets the animal face just right. The colour scheme drifts abit, but not overly. I like this a lot.

Elagliss - Really nice idea, the ears are soo cool! Not keen on the big eyes, and the goggles on top seem awkward… The feet seemed odd at first, but I like ‘em now.

Leckle - Simple and cute, nothing bad here. Love it again.

Trotter - This one is just phenomenal. So well executed. The concept is just. WOW. The pose is awesome also.

Maw aid - Sorta looks like its stuck in a treasure chest. Not keen on concept, but well pulled off over all.

Jypsol - I like it, very nice, this concepts better, lovely.

Dunspargo - This is clear to what its supposed to be, developed Dunsparces features brilliantly, well presented and made.

Knifish - Had to look at this twice. Very awesome colouration and scheme. Maybe give it less of a forehead. Thought it was a birds head for a sec.

Illaimant/Beatote - Both brilliant. Such complex perfect designs. Soo beautiful.

The last three (bored of typing names) - First one I don’t like, a little small and odd arms… Not keen on the seconds eye. The last one is magnificent Maybe just head position…

All in all.
Damn awesome =D
Really enjoyed looking over your stuff. You're incredable.
Hope to see you continue on this path.

-Fraz

omglookoverthere April 12th, 2007 2:21 PM

Occultales is diffenitly my favorite

Lt. Surge's Raichu April 14th, 2007 12:48 PM

Your sprites are great :)
Keep up the good work :)

Samson April 15th, 2007 1:17 AM

THANKS!! and Frazzler: thank you for taking an extended interest in my sprites. i agree with all that you've said (well except Dinol... he's so misunderstood!! XD). i wish i could show you the rest of my sprites to get an opinion from ya, but as i've said plenty times, i'm keeping this exclusive for Chaos Black, a hack.

ok, well i made this D/P style (well, at least a try for D/P... not necessarily D/P if you ask me) sprite to practice on my shading, and i gotta say, it's one of my best:

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1275/vuduvpy6.png

Vuduv, refashioned. Jynx's evo of course, and the whole concept is that it's based off a Voodoo Preistess, which follows the theme from Smoochum and Jynx. the black strips in its hair is actually peices of thread that it grows and knits dolls with, which it does easily with it's large, flat hands.

want to dedicate it to Captain Arcane because his Spriter's Pokedex helped a LOT for getting the right colors.

Death Rogers April 17th, 2007 5:02 PM

It's a bit... humongous. Even for a D/P sprite, that thing's huge. It looks like Jynx let herself go with the Pokeblocks. XD

But, I like it. It's just a little too big. I haven't checked yet, but I think it's even bigger than the Dialga and Palkia sprites.

Samson April 18th, 2007 12:00 AM

yeah XD. i tend to sprite things too large when i'm focusing too much on the palette and the shading. but thank god for my massive knowledge of photoshop, it only takes about half an hour to reduce the sprite.

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/7016/vuduv2zt7.png

GBA reduction, except now it doesn't EXACTLY hit the size limit XD.

KeesZ April 23rd, 2007 12:58 PM

Very nice, maybe the red dress thingie could be some longer but otherwise: great. The GBA version looks much better.

duncanrcook April 28th, 2007 6:09 AM

do you have any back sprites or the sprites that show up in your party?

BlackDragonite April 30th, 2007 2:48 AM

Great work, and i like titanium, but it looks a bit strange...^^
When´s the ChaosBlack release?????????????????????

And the bug/dragon nlooks also cool^^

BlueHippo May 22nd, 2007 8:26 AM

man these are some epic sprites :0 i was just thinking earlier of drawing some of my pokemon i created years ago (since my art skills are far better than they used to be) but i wish i could produce such quality sprites as those :0

i'm more of a flash person, i love me my vector graphics, hopefully one day i can learn how to make amazing sprites like you, sir :3

Samson May 22nd, 2007 11:25 PM

well actually, i'd appreciate it if ANYONE can share your concepts or drawings for me to sprite. i have plenty left over in my sketches, but i'm really not digging them.

i should be venturing into other types of pixel art, but Chaos Black is currently in hiatus due to a lack of, well, good hackers. since i've finished all the backsprites, i don't want to waste my time doing extra sprite work for a hack that may not even be in the process of creation any longer. if it turns out Chaos Black comes to an end, i plan to release ALL of my sprites to the public for free use.

so from now on, i want to propose spriting concepts for people. thing is they'll have to be GOOD. so far, here is some concepts i plan to sprite:

Water/Ghost - Stream Pokemon
Water/Ghost - Cascade Pokemon

Fire/Electric - Launch Pokemon

Steel - Cripple Pokemon
Steel/Flying - Antigravity Pokemon

Fire/Normal - Heat Rise Pokemon
Fire/Normal - Heat Expand Pokemon

very nice Samson I suggest that you send these to gamefreak so they can be used in the third DS game there very good see if you can make an Abra Pre ev I would love to see that or maybe even a female evolution if you have a female Kadabra

Chibi-chan May 29th, 2007 8:18 AM

I really love your sprites! Especially Amorswan! How pretty~ Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing more!

ShadowCat13133 June 10th, 2007 5:29 PM

I like the Occultales best

All of them? That would be sooooo cool ^^ I really like your sprites, I hope you update soon with some new ones. :]

Yoshistar64 June 23rd, 2007 8:20 AM

In my opinion, Knifish should be Quilfish's evolution for reasons that I'll keep to myself. Otherwise, very creative. You inspired me to draw Fakemon.

i'm sure you mean "shouldn't be Qwilfish's evo", and i'm sure why you think so: it'd literally kill other pokemon. how i see it... that's awesome!! Blissey = scrambled eggs XDD

xMeteorxStriker June 23rd, 2007 1:52 PM

They all look very cool. There is something about amorswans head it looks like it's wing is overlapping it maybe just make the head a wee bit wider so it can go over the wing or just move it slightly.

Dachampster July 11th, 2007 6:31 PM

Three things.
1. Quilfish's pre evo looks like it could be it evolved form.
2. A Glaceon has already been made. And the Grass Eevee.
3. That Ninetales evo should evolve with the least happiness and be half Ghost, since Ninetales has many Ghost moves and 9000 year old curses.

Domin-8 July 11th, 2007 7:00 PM

He did Glaceon and Leafeon because he didn't like the D/P evos

Samson July 13th, 2007 11:25 PM

OOPs! i didn't notice i had put Knifish as Qwilfish's PRE-evo XD. yes, it's meant to be its evo.

i chose Occultales to be Fire/Psychic because, as i already stated, in the anime, it is said that Ninetales can live for many years and eventually gains "Psychic powers". so i figured... why can't it learn any psychic moves then? i put 2 and 2 together and thought, "hey, ninetales could use an evo."

allrighty, i've got a little sample of the sprites i've currently been working on:

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8782/pumelbrodi3.gif

Pumelbro, the Ground Shift Pokemon. Fighting/Ground type. it has a pre-evo, and i assure you, it will be a big hit when it is released in Chaos Black. why? i cannot tell you that. i know the sprite is large. i have already reduced it for GBA limits, but i thought to just show the large one here.

Captain Arcane July 14th, 2007 12:35 AM

Yo Samson, its kinda wierd, but I love it man.

Totaly awsome

why you no send to me?
been ages since i got email from you

Samson July 26th, 2007 7:33 PM

well enix, you know that i don't plan on sending you any sprites until i've done their backs as well.

ok, another sneak peek at the sprites i'm currently working on:

http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/7184/frozzelbm2.png

Frozzel, the Snow Toad poke. just a regular ice type. it has a pre-evo and an evo already sprited, and i've gotta say, this line has gotta be my best (sprite-wise).

you'll have to play the *hopeful* upcoming Beta of Chaos Black to see the rest of the line.

Cema July 27th, 2007 4:12 PM

Very nice stuff man. I deffinetely love Frozzel, but think that it should be a bug type in addition to being ice. That's what it looks like to me anyway. Hey, go on AIM once in a while, bud!

ljdontplay August 3rd, 2007 3:02 PM

hey samson, i have been observing your work for a very long time, and frankly, im impressed, most other fakemon spriters suck, but this my friend, is awesome, i was wondering if u could make about 10 sprites for my new hack we are working on, Pokemon Flux, if u do, You will be in the game

PM me if u want to talk more about flux: [email protected]
[email protected]

Luxator August 5th, 2007 1:37 PM

.....*Jaw drops* i am amazed. Simply Amazed

Samson August 10th, 2007 4:52 PM

thanks folks. lj, no i won't sprite for you. noob, go ahead, do what you want with them.

ok here's a sprite that Cema designed that i promised to sprite for him (although he's not completely fond of it):

http://bay01.imagebay.com/_upload/img/19/birdense.png

Birdense, Steel/Flying. yeah, i know what you're thinking. the idea is that it's an offensive skarmory.

Fuwante~ August 11th, 2007 7:23 AM

Good as always, Samson.
Sprites are better than ever,
And I like them.

...

Hey Samson, I got a challenge for you. I want to see if you can do it.

ZOMG! FAKEMONZ!!!

^ I bet you can't make that.
Just try to prove me wrong :P

HOLY CRAP YOU HAVE MAD TALEN FOR THIS. i mean i would LOVE for a lot of these to be in the actual GAMES. Nintendo should consider a contest of the best pokemon ideas...i think you would win

Klippy August 16th, 2007 8:39 PM

Wow Samson, I am quite impressed with the level of design on Wesul and Floatsel's redesign. And, Knifish is outstanding.

Bravo.

peabobo's sexy legs August 29th, 2007 4:03 AM

Omg, I just lurv Dunspargo and Knifish. :3

The other evos are pretty cool, too. :3

Mewtwo42 August 29th, 2007 12:01 PM

They all seemed pretty wierd to me. None the less, they were creative. Pulmbero was my fav out of al of them.

Monkey In Rehab August 30th, 2007 7:13 AM

=O... amazing, truly amazing. Hope to see more soon.

MegaTailzChao August 30th, 2007 11:06 AM

Hey these are actually pretty cool.

My only problem is the evolutions you made do not resemble their previous form enough. Sure the basic design my be similar but you keep adding to many things to them to make them look like completely different Pokemon.

wow this is really great. The shading and coloring. your amazing



:t354:TG

EvanMiesterX September 1st, 2007 3:39 PM

Very good! I think these are some really good fakemon!

P.S. lol, you made a glaceon before D/P came out... they must've copied you!

Blayze September 1st, 2007 4:19 PM

Very nice. I especially like Vircalf and Dunspargo.

Tabbloza September 3rd, 2007 9:02 AM

Your sprites are amazing! :) I love Illaimant, Racoodo, and Amorswan.

jubb September 3rd, 2007 2:39 PM

nice work there
 
its really good...but i think you didnt scratch all of those 100 %...like that dunsparce evo...it looks like milotics body edited

Samson September 5th, 2007 4:27 PM

not scratch? this coming from the person who inverts sprites and throws them on top of eachother ._.

well, folks, i've finished spriting all my creations. i still have some concepts in the making, but i may not actually get to spriting them for a long while. there comes a time when every college student must wake up and get serious.

Sir Crusty September 6th, 2007 10:19 AM

Those are amazing. The shading is great or almost perfect on all of them. I really like Wesul and Racoodo :)

KingFlygon September 8th, 2007 6:43 AM

These are really good scratches, but alot of the evos/pres look NOTHING like their evos. Other than, that nothing much.

J.M. September 8th, 2007 7:08 AM

Absolutely amazing work man. I'd certainly want 90% of these in the games, because they're so awesome!

GamerAse September 11th, 2007 7:57 AM

All of them are really well done technically. Although some of the concepts turn out a bit weird, most of your fakémon are really good. All of your sprites are gamefreak level or above. Congratulations, man, you're one of the top spriters ever to post on this forum!

luckyCHARMS September 24th, 2007 10:56 PM

i took a quick peekaleek at ur thread nd wus amused at the whole Skarabif, Mantibif, Himagos idea u had. cud possibly be 3 new pokes right there lOl. u needa get ur ideas out there siir X]. kudos

p.s. we shud battle sometime. =]

NekoRobin September 25th, 2007 6:32 AM

Normally fakemons suck.
And made-from-scratches suck too.
But those..
ARE SO F*CKING AWESOME!
I MEAN LIKE...They look like they've been made by Nintendo itself!
You rock!

Meh October 6th, 2007 3:42 PM

Nice work. Maybe you could make a GBA reduction of Pumelbro?

Light_Lugia October 7th, 2007 10:28 PM

I'm wordless... You're work is... Like I said, wordless... The shading, the designs... You should think about putting them in a hack even!
