^ Good. The grass types are supposed to look sort of like undertakers, so a suit look is what I was going for.

@Smash: Wow, thanks! I'll go tweak that one now.

I've mostly been doing backsprites for the finished fakemon, but here's a new frontsprite:



Blastodon, the middle form of the Fire line. Once I finish Hellephant, I'll post all the backsprites.

I think it's time for a bump.



A Poison-type Plague Legendary. It's tentatively named Typhrax. It's built for Toxistalling.



Not Eevee Kitwirl, a Normal/Ground type based on sand, its backsprite (so cute!) and its evo Fennecurl. They're pretty much generic earlygame pokes; the basic form can have Pickup or Sand Veil. The adult form can have Sand Stream or Sand Veil.



Excalibird. A novelty poke... with base 140 attack, but pretty crap everything else (usable Speed, though). It's pretty obvious what moves it learns, including Sharpen and an improved Air Cutter. (It would own in 4th gen with SD/Leaf Blade/Night Slash/Psycho Cut/etc. and a Choice Scarf...)



Psyloserge (Poison/Psychic) and Obliterat (Dark/Fighting). Two Moon Stone evolutions with two prior evolutionary levels. I really like Obliterat but need some help on Psyloserge. (Yes, that entire poke is one big drug reference... teach it Acid!)

Next to come: possibly more legendaries (Only making four :|), possibly some new evos of old favorites...

Zephyr+: Bumping good threads before the cutoff since 2007!

You just keep getting better and better, don't you? I love the soft, muted style you've got there-- it's awfully easy on the eyes, not to mention there's some excellent designs. Your poses seem a tad bland, however, with the Pokemon mostly just standing; generally speaking, battle sprites are in action poses, and your legendaries and Fennecurl in particular are largely static. But that's ok, because they're good-quality sprites. Still, though, I think Pestallion (er, Typhrax) needs its legs spaced a biiit farther apart and maybe one leg lifted off the ground, for balance yanno.

Excalibird is awesome. I would take it and use it to decapitate people.

Obliterat is faaabulous. Psyloserge... not so much. It kind of suffers from the color scheme (I'd put a third color in there somewhere, maybe around the spots; green or orange, maybe?) and the awkwardly-posed arms and legs. the hands and feet seem to be different sizes, and the chest marking isn't clearly-defined enough.

yeah, i am a big fan of excalibird as well! That is some excellent design there, as well as originality. The only thing that i don't like is that i didn't think that up first ^_^

I agree with zephyr though, your poses are rather static... there is not much indication of movement in them.

And before i forget, kitwirl is also another stunning looking sprite. The shading is so nicely done that it gives such a soft look to the sprite. It looks very natural and very professional. I wish i could say the same about the evo though... it's a bit flat looking.

Overall though, your growth has been so tremendous in such a small time span! You're always continuing to amaze me! Keep up the great work! I'm excited to see more!

Keep Spriting!
