Topaz art stuff

[metagrosslord]

I made some random banners and stuff for signatures. More to come.

Mini-Banners:

Standard:

Jirachi and Kipporok: http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=515

Starters:

Grass: http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=514

Fire: http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=517

Water: http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=516

If there's something else you'd like to see, I'll take requests for these.

I like them!

[metagrosslord]

Thanks!

[zeroality]

They're good but something seems off in the font you used.

What font is that, and what paint program are you using?

[metagrosslord]

Pokemon Solid Font and Scratch Paint Program.

I also noticed you can't edit first post after original posting. Well, that's gonna be annoying. :P

[metagrosslord]

Here's an Abyssus Fanart! (For some reason the transparent background doesn't look like it worked, but IDK.)

I also took the shiny pallete to see what it would look like as a shiny.

EDIT: Wow, the uploader is deceptive. It worked fine.

And here's another mini-banner featuring the 3 starters and Cirroft.

Did you just enlarge the front sprite, flip it, and draw over it? I'm not sure if we're looking for that. I like the banners, though.

[zeroality]

Pokemon Solid Font and Scratch Paint Program.
For banners and stuff, you're probably better off using Paint.net (its free) or something similar.

As for edits, there's a 30 min time limit. Just double post if you can't edit. As Tyrannigon pointed out, that's not exactly the kind of art we're looking for, but an excellent first try.

[metagrosslord]

hmph. I need to draw different poses so you people stop complaining that I just resized the sprites when I didn't. :P

BTW, I'm trying to make Orion and Rocket banners (Bigger ones.), but I don't know what they usually use, because all teams have classic lineups (E.G. team Galactic and Glameow, Zubat, and Bronzor/their evolutions). Could you tell me?

Anyways, I love digital editing. Amazing what you can do. This is one dollar bill I wouldn't want to find.

[metagrosslord]

Any banner requests? Anyone?

[XTS]

Not really sure about their "staple" lineups, but for the Rockets, I'd give them Chiarame, Duval (Malduval?), and Vilephist, and the Orions would get Lupine, Engil (Benengil?), and Blitzfaust.

So yeah, go for that. /late

Technology is quite good these days. I can turn a old faded toy into a new one on photo shop :P Great banners but for the bigger ones should have the official topaz writing and Pokemon Logo. I'll get a link to it.

Alright, I'll go with that. Thanks, XTS! Only thing that I'm gonna change is Chiarame to Huskii, so they are total counterparts.

[metagrosslord]

Here's a Team Rocket Banner.

Orion Defenders Banner too.

[Sev]

Those aren't good because they don't have a Pokemon logo. There should have been one in the link I gave you...

[SilentSentinel]

They seem fine to me. I mean, look up at the top of the forums. It doesn't say pokemon there.

[metagrosslord]

Top of the forums doesn't have one. A lot of other sigs just say topaz version too. Take Quinn for example. That whole shiny manager banner doesn't say pokemon, just Topaz Version. So does it really need a pokemon logo to be good? :P

[Sev]

Okay the way I said it was negative but Quinn made it for his sig within Topaz. This could be used for advertising...

[metagrosslord]

Does anyone know if there's official stuff that needs to be done (besides icons, since everyone complains I pixel-over.)? I'd like to help out in anyway I can. Who knows, someday I might be able to get the http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/images/ranks/contributor.png badge. I could try sound if anyone knows a place where I can upload it.

*cough*I saw Quinn on another site with the same sig*cough*


I made one for my own uses. Meheheheh. This'll be my sig in the near future.

Alright, your website hated the banner, and kept converting it to JPEG. I had to use tinypic. :P

[zeroality]

Sound, as in Pokemon cries etc?

People around here use mediafire (http://www.mediafire.com) for that.

Other than that, there's still some item sprites that need to be done. http://www.pokemontopaz.net/helditemsprites/

The Rocket/Orion Pokeballs don't have sprites either. http://www.pokemontopaz.net/pokeballsprites/

And FYI: you can edit your posts now. We changed it to indefinite time limit on edits.

[Sev]

I'll work on the rocket ball but Reli was talking about some kind of change to the O-defenders costume? It would be better to hold off on it until he decides on that.

[metagrosslord]

Thanks for merging Zeroality. And I could try the item sprites. At least they have no animation. XD And I've been working with sound for a long time, so I can maybe do cries.

And now that I've blown through 7 items (which need to be approved and such still. They are here (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/showthread.php?965-Here-be-Itemz).), does anyone know what has been done for cries?

Wow, cries are insane... I made a halfway decent one for Sirene, but it sounds like froslass a little. :P This is too confusing...

[zeroality]

abysuss, ampure, arachamare, barkrub, brontogon, cackinge, baribrisk, cascadet, celsinge, destado, duval, echoise, embear, engill, equill, fincherp, firant, firrel, flintusk, frostorm, gargoth, grizlare, gypseer, iglona, inflare, jackalant, jalsida, kondira, kraklaw, kuranpu, lupine, malistril, mermeidon, mirust, mogel, moocalf, nimbolt, ohmure, phantern, purior, pythang, scorchion, sinestril, skalloy, spidream, tellure, thoraxa, trillogill, typhinda, venap, vilephist, vixun

I think those are the cries we have. Sorry for the lack of caps and shoddy formatting, it's from a PM with Pikang. You can listen to them in his thread (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/showthread.php?44-Cries-and...OMG!).

If you have questions about how to make them and such, I'm sure he wouldn't mind answering them via PM.

[metagrosslord]

Okay people, I still haven't gotten banner requests. Surely there's SOMETHING that you want to see? (What would really be nice is to see them used, by I don't forsee that happening... XD)

[Tyrannigon64]

Hmm... Blitzfaust/Vilephist?

[Cranky Guy]

I want a banner with all three final starterforms on it.

Yeah, he kinda said that access is blocked to all but admins on the site... In other news, I'll get started on those requests once I finish the next part of my pokemon rom hack screenshot playthrough. (I won't post which hack, as I can bet that'll get me a good ol' infraction for advertising or something.)

[zeroality]

I made this real quick to go along with my new sig on PO. I needed it to be the same height and take up the remaining allotted 600px of width.
