Sorry I keep coming on and off D:

It's not like a family matter or anything, sometimes I just forget about you guys, or momentarily lose interest. Don't take offense in that, it's just how my mind works. I can be totally obsessed with something but then lose that in around 4 days. Anyways, I'll still be here every now and then with some new stuff, so look out for that.

The current Firrel sprite has been the bane of my existence for a while now D: I keep seeing it and going, no, Topaz will NOT put that in the final ;A; Time and time again I've been making more and more Firrel just to replace it, but none of them were liked. So I just decided to take the old pose, and recycle it. Hopefully you'll like this one better. DPPtHGSS shading based off Raichu.

I don't know what it is but doesn't the body look awfully flat? It kinda looks like a sheet in the wind.

It's not bad otherwise.

Yeah, a lot of HGSS sprites had that problem. I didn't like it myself, but I decided to try and emulate it anyway xD
so yeah, played with the shading a bit.

Shading is much better. I think the arms are a bit too stubby though, and the head shape looks a little strange.

Nice to see you back though!

Head is a lot less deformed with the nose there, and I slimmed the arms down a bit but I didn't want it too skinny since chubby Firrel is cute >w<
EDIT: A smexeh part of having an ambiguous title is that it lets me put all sorts of different types of graphics in here.

I was bored so I whipped up an awesome Ferrian 8D

dude, I LOVE THE FERRIAN. THAT "IS" AWESOME!!!!

Damn! So you got photoshop back? Really nice work.

I noticed that we needed new sprites for Kraklaw. If this version gets accepted I'll make the icons too.

dude, that's F*ckin hot!!!!! I do think the front sprite should be "turned" a bit, but that is SOOOO much better than what I could do ;) Yet again, THAT IS HOT!!!! Good job.

HO-LY MONKEYBALLS

/dies from epicness of Ferrian

Phantasomo Icon. Equill, Tellure and Bakurge are proving to be a pain in the Arceus.

Epic Ferrian is /dies from awesomness

Bakurge done. It's a bit small but should still look fine. Put it in the triad for a test run xD

Ferrian Sugi is too bloody epic to miss.

Oh man. Lots of excellent stuff. Ferrian is breathtaking. I am stunned.

While I was thinking about the lack of proper male guy, I thought of the interesting idea of him being a polar opposite to the girl.
http://i47.tinypic.com/11cf6za.jpg
Then this guy happened. If Topaz were ever an anime this guy would be a rocket and the girl would be a defender.
No idea what to do with his other arm. If he's accepted then expect backsprites and ows.

I approve of everything except for the trainer sprite (not sure what's wrong with it) but IB has the final say in such matters.

I think it's because the trainer's missing an arm

I like the concept. The execution is a little off (The collar looks out of place and the face and hair could use some cleaning up) but I think it's very possible to work that into a really cool sprite.

Gave Quinn permission to play with Kraklaw a bit since he saw some things which could be improved. Posting here.

Mine.

Quinn's.
Still need ideas for the male trainer's other armm~

I like the original version better. The eyes on Quinn's sprite look weird to me.

For the trainer, perhaps the arm extended and pointing in the direction that he's looking? Kinda like "You... you are my next victim."

To get an idea of a 'pointing trainer', there's Wally in RSE. The original Simon sprite had that pose as well, if anybody remembers that.

Shouldn't the front sprite be looking at the "character"? If not that, I dont know, but have "more" of a turn (couldn't do that though).

That Ferrian is epic. I think I'm going to faint due to the extreme level of epicness it acquire- *faints*

While Kraklaw is indeed badass and awesome (badawesome?), there doesn't seem to be any sort of shading on the front sprite (or maybe there is shading, but it's just really weird weird, either one). Front tentacles could possibly use some splotches on them, or else they look kinda plain.

I didn't notice that before but the area below his face (chest?) does look flat due to non-existent shading. The tentacles are nicely done though, except for the one directly below his beak (the one next to the closed claw). It looks weird in that area.

I think the head and upper area are good. Unless IB can come up with a more popular sprite, I think we have a winner when these things are fixed.

What about his Firrel? I personally prefere it to the one we have atm.

I agree with BTG, Firrel is way better than the current one we have. Really, I'm looking at the sprite and I can't seem to find any faults.

New Firrel looks ninja. I think it's an improvement also, why not? Any objections?

I'm neither against it, nor for it. It is just one of those things that I could care either way. Kraklaw is different in my eyes though ;)

It literally looks like something you'd see in HGSS. Thats my way of saying "awesome".

Alright, Firrel replacement it is. I'll have it up on the repository immediately. Site will be changed soon.

I'll get the shiny redone, and that will be outta our hair as well.

this one right? http://i46.tinypic.com/28tccih.png

Yup! I like the new Firrel, I can't help but keep saying that it looks really ninja.

alright. There is a little bit of shading that bugs me, but shading is never "perfect". I'll get that shiny "redone"

Gonna revive this topic.


I really want to update the site Pokedex with X-A's Firrel and Kraklaw sprites.

Firrel is pretty much perfect imo, so if nobody has any objections...can someone transparentize the background? Or is there one already?

http://i46.tinypic.com/28tccih.png


As for Kraklaw, I like it but as said before, the shading still needs some work, and I can spot a few things that can be improved on (namely, it looks a bit too fat right now compared to the concept art). If anyone's willing to have a go at editing this, be my guest.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2cft9hz.jpg

I've got the firrel transparencied and all good. *IB does now too.
^It already is a confirmed replacement.

should I attach it?

I've already said my stuff with Kraklaw.

*I was actually thinkin of reviving this to talk about http://i47.tinypic.com/11cf6za.jpg if he wouldn't be the main trainer, he could still be like a cool trainer or something. Some changes and he could be a male Hip hopper. Make him look more emo, and he could be like the people in my avi ;) *stay sic (you wont get "sic" if you dont know Slipknot)
