probably has a psychic/ ghost based team.

Psychic type much?
Edit: are those eyes or pokeballs on the left?
on the left, they are eyes.

She could possibly be like our version of the Medium or Channeler. I could see this type of trainer in at least one specific route.
I can see her in that shadow route, at least. But Idk.

I'd say ghost more than psychic. I also think you shouldn't have those eyes on the left of it. How about a Gastly/Haunter silohette one the left of it. or maybe even the FireRed/LeafGreen Eternal tower ghosts. For pokemon, I'd say a Gastly or Haunter, plus maybe a Drowzee or Hypno/Duskull or Dusclops. I'm still an amateur at sprites, so don't critique the idea so harshly.
I could see about possilbe gasly or gengar eyes.

Nah, no eyes. Then it can be Psychic or Ghost depending on what's called for!! :)

I agree with Shadow Umbreon. And it definately looks much more psychic. Ghostly possession would have a body encasing aura not just certain parts. Looks more like psychic levitation (and self-levitation).
1st question...should I encase her completly with an aura, or keep a psychic look?
2nd question....which one?
Gastly based

Gengar based

Don't like either of them. It's better without anything hovering except Pokeballs in my opinion.
Try a full-body aura and we'll see if it's good.
Edit: I'm not sure what's going on with her feet but it needs a bit more work. Honestly, I can't tell what those are.

I agree with all of those points. It's a good start though.
alright. so...work with feet, take off eyes, and give her a full body aura?
Should she be bare feet? I was looking at some of the others and they were.
I also broke the line rule in spriting. (In order to possibly make the purple more "noticeable"

I'd say no to bare feet.
I think if her eyes were open and a deep purple color, that would add to the "Possessed" effect

Hey, I like this.

I concur sir. Not a fan of the barefoot idea.

Aura doesn't look too good. Not sure how to fix it, maybe try making the outside of the aura a lighter shade? It also doesn't have to be an exact thickness all the way around.
Alright, a bit more change to the aura, work with the eyes, with a "possessed" look, and keep the feet, right?

Very cool concept, it reminds me of a Sohee.
One thing you can do to really improve the feet is simply to make them much larger. Also try using a less obnoxiously bright colour for the aura? Something more purple than pink would probably be preferable.
I'll work with feet tonight. but 1st, which color.

I like the deep purple better. Looks more ghost-like. One comment though: The darker aura is a bit harder to see on the left side. Think anyone can fix that?
it can be fixed, but it also depends on which forum style you look at it (its background) I could put it into a battle background to see if it shows up a bit more.

I like the darker one too.
so change of foot right?
Also, time to talk bout overworld. For most overworlds, the sprites have left, right, center. For her though I was thinking since shes floating, just have Center and a slight nudge down, with a shadow and her floating.
wow this looks like a very cool trainer to battle...
if you do the shadow in the battle screen i think making it look kinda like a pokemon (such as haunter, gengar, etc.) according to the one that's possessed her and/or him (are you gonna make a male version too or just a female?)
the shadow doesn't have to be detailed just a enough to get a general idea of which pokemon has possessed her...
(if anything Darkrai would be the one to do it but since this doesn't use 4th gen then it will most likely be haunter/gengar)
it doesnt' matter which one you use i just thought it would be kinda cool to have a pokemon shadow below her in the battle screen...
I can see if I can do that...though I'm not a great "scratcher"

I don't think that's a good idea, as we want to be able to use this as a generalized trainer and not lock down anything specific about it (such as associated Pokemon). It's not a cosplayer. :)
I tried a couple times with shadow, but I couldn't get that one right. I worked with the aura a bit more, and when I post all of my stuff tommorow, I'll get her up.

Darkrai shadow, anyone?

(sorry it's not transparent)
I personally think its a bit "too" distorted. If we wanted a ghost, if anyone has the FRLG one, that might get us farther. (Though I'm not so hyped about it)

Although I like Darkrai (http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/816/possesedone2.png) best, its your call if you prefer gengar http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5352/possesedone.png( it looks more like a normal shadow, though)
P.S. I got the shadow idea from 5th gen shadows on the pre-release screenshots.
P.P.S. Please, Quinn go to the item sprite forum, I've been done!
Lol...I said I checked like forever ago. If anything though, if we do choose for a shadow, I like Gengars. I'm just not to for the shadow though.
well i figured it'd only be pokemon from 1st - 3rd gen along with yours...
it doesnt' have to be specific just make it kinda look like a pokemon is inhabiting her mostly...
it was only a thought so if it can/doesn't work you can get rid of it but so far they look pretty good...

Gastly/Haunter/Gengar, all the way!

06-29-10, 01:21 AM
We can worry about the shadow later, what is of most concern right now are the feet, and now that I look at it, the hands as well. Both parts need some more work.
worked on both.
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd123/quintinbruderer/Possesedone.png (I forgot to have the old shadow, whoops)
and, I think I found a possible shadow. its from the move animations of GS. Yet again, I started early with those. shhhhh, dont tell IB.
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd123/quintinbruderer/PossesedoneGhost.png
looks great!!
i can't think of anything that needs fixing now...

They don't look any different, to be honest. Keep at it?

I think the feet still need a little more work.
badgerdude1347
07-01-10, 05:18 AM
I disagree with ragingprimape. It looks great. Just a few minor tweaks would b good.
uuuhhhhh so? what should I do? anything?
neon.Barnacle
07-01-10, 05:37 PM
Right now her feet are too small. Try making them easier to see, like using a brighter color.
still? I thought they were getting kinda big.
but alright.
shadow or no shadow?
Edit: http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd123/quintinbruderer/Topaz/Possesedone-3.png
I'm not really like the feet, but if everyone else is, then alright. Also, the shadow can be added if wanted.
neon.Barnacle
07-01-10, 05:43 PM
We already have the default oval shadow that you see on flying/levitating Pokemon. That really should be enough.
alright, done and done
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd123/quintinbruderer/Topaz/Possesedone-4.png
is this a wrap?
next q, what about the overworld? It's floating, so should it just be like a standard position shifting up and down?
neon.Barnacle
07-01-10, 06:53 PM
I don't think you have to include the shadow with the sprite, there's a separate sprite for it. Then again, there has never been a floating trainer before, so I wouldn't know.
Floating would take some time for the programmer to implement. I think it's just fine as a regular trainer icon. Then, when she sees you, she "floats" over to you, similar to the ghosts in the Old Chateau.
Aaaaand...feet still look awkward. I'd like to make an attempt to edit it later tonight.
there has been one. a karate girl, from RSE, if I remember right. I haven't seen the people in the old chateu, I'll youtube it and make one from that.
alright here is some overworld ideas.

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd123/quintinbruderer/Topaz/Possesedoneoverworld2.png (Didn't resize, but added aura, and shadow.
If you like aura but not shadow or vica versa, then there can be mix.
Cyndadile
07-01-10, 09:19 PM
I like it, but something seems off with the shadow. It might be, if someone is glowing, how do they have a shadow?
its not really glowing, but aura. But, yah I kinda see ur point.
Cyndadile
07-01-10, 09:23 PM
Oh, and she has no legs sideways/forward.
I actually can see them fine, but thats possibly just me.
Cyndadile
07-01-10, 09:34 PM
She looks more like a ghost.
They may be hidden more because of the dress, though.
She looks more like a ghost.
I think that is kinda the point. She is "possessed". Like those overworlds, you dont see walking right? Like Neon said, they will be like the ghosts in the old chateau. They just float off, no walking needed.
Cyndadile
07-01-10, 09:50 PM
Cool.
yah. I gotta give it to him, that was some good thinkin. I can't belive I forgot about that.
now anyways, back on topic.
neon.Barnacle
07-14-10, 01:55 PM
I must sound like a broken record now, but the feet are still messy. Overworld sprites are fine.
I just dont get what you mean with the feet.?
neon.Barnacle
07-14-10, 04:56 PM
The feet are not well-defined. All I can make out is a blob.
I'm not so sure how to fix it though, since they are shoes...
i really don't see how the feet are a problem because people are primarily going to be focused on her being possessed and then they're gonna be worried about the pokemon trying to pwn their team...
image is everything virus, image is everything
look i was just pointing out a fact is all...
though yes it would be very good to have top quality pictures but again i see no problem with the feet....
if there is then i'm really overlooking something somewhere...
neon.Barnacle
07-15-10, 10:36 PM
Well, I did some heavy editing on this sprite. Since she's floating, I tried to convey that through her skirt and hair. Also helps to differentiate the sprite more from its source material. Initially I was going to draw her shoes, but I thought she looked better barefoot.
I did two versions, one with aura and one without. Personally I prefer the one without. Also I had to keep the eyes white because purple looked hideous.
Without aura:

With aura:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y274/neonscreen/Possesedone-12.png
i like neon's but i prefer quinn's
they look good and i see how the 1st one looks better but the problem is trying to distinguish Possessed from Psychic...
it's alright to give people the names of the trainers but the 1st one makes her look like a psychic trainer while the 2nd one actually makes her look like she's possessed (more or less) and it's a lot better than quinns... (sorry quinn)
also she does look good without the purple eyes but i think if they were like lighter or something then it might be better...
DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD! I wish I could do that sooooo bad....:(
Ironicly though, now I'm gonna say this to you. "the feet look off".
also, the pokeball aura looks kinda like flames, though I kinda like it ;) I like the aura one better
maybe a light purple ^ does sound good.
last, her hair doesn't seem to "fluffy" lets say.
Yet again, I will say. I WISH SOOOOO BADDDD I could do that good of spriting.....
do yo wanna edit yours, or me? (I might un-"awesomeify" it though)

So yeah, generlization is better.
true but it would still be good to give her something that would at least seperate her somewhat from the psychics...
otherwise it's gonna be weird when someone plays the game fights a person who looks like a psychic trainer be ready to take them out only to learn that the trainer has ghost type pokemon...
ghost, dark, and maybe some psychic. So...yet again I ask...should I edit neons new one...or should he?
ImmunityBow

Without the aura the hair looks really off and it's difficult to tell where ankle ends and foot begins. But I do agree that more edits are necessary to help keep her less recognizable.
neon.Barnacle
07-17-10, 01:31 AM
If you think you can make it better then go ahead and take a stab at it. I find that I work best when I edit what other people have done, because I have this thing where I get too attached to my own edits to make further changes.
hahaha. I think that sounds familiar. <
ImmunityBow
07-17-10, 01:38 AM
Don't worry, it happens to everyone. I'll try when I get back.
with not only me, but Neon and IB? POSSESSED ONE IS GONNA LOOK PIMP!!! :D
I think the war with the feet is now on. I spent at least 40 minutes to work with em, trying to make toes....
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd123/quintinbruderer/Topaz/Possesedone-12.png
not a pretty edit, though I'm workin with the hair to make less noodly. Connecting in some areas, having little open areas...yeah.
Round 1 of War of the Feet!!!!
you might wanna shorten the line for the toes a little to make them look a little more like toes..
and because there's no way i could do battle sprites anyway i'm not gonna even try getting into the war other than making suggestions...
