Mighty Sprites

[Mighty Hyena]

I've been fiddling around in Photoshop and came up with a few sprites. I'll add more as I make them. I'm not big on mixes or recolors, so you probably won't find any here unless I was a) bored or b) trying to get into a contest.

That's a lot of sprites. Anyway. Enjoy and take care.

[Bulk]

It's very good. The mini sprite does look rubbish though. Out of interest, why are you using Photoshop? I find Paint MUCH easier. Also, isn't the type, Air, just a copy of Flying or Normal. (Sorry if I sound too harsh)

[Mighty Hyena]

Yeah, I meant Flying- bit of a slow day here :D Its evolutions have more flyingness about them, this is just the baby form.

The 32x32s are actually pretty hard to do. They just don't work. You need to pack a lot of detail into a little box.

Okay, here's the next one. This one has li'l clouds around it and... uh... yeah. It's based on Chinese lions, which I think are awesome.

http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_lion2_big.gif
Name: Priden
Type: Flying/Normal
Description: Sometimes travelers report this creature prowling through the sky. They are said to be able to summon breezes.

[Cowrie]

The Ellev is okay, I think, but I absolutely love the Priden's design.

The cream coloring on it seems a bit flat, though...perhaps add at least one more darker shade to it?

[Mighty Hyena]

Okay, more sprites. Yay! Also, whew.

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate all C&C. I've been a little busy re-vamping the sprites. The Ellev now has spots like a real lion cub would, and a *shiney* version. Priden has minor tweaks. Eventually, I'll combine them all into one post but since this is a baby thread it can wait.

Here's a new one. There's a female version of this evolution, but it isn't done yet.

http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_lion3m_big.gif
Name: Wuashih (Male)
Type: Flying/Normal
Description: Said to be the King of Beasts, this Pokemon prowls the skies at night and hides in the long grasses by day.

[xXSaberXx]

Hoooleeeeeee crap. O_O;;;;

YOU ROCK MIGHTY! xD I cant belive you did that all from scratch! Amazing!

Keep it up!

PS. Photoshop rocks. xD

[Koneko]

wow they look very good! they are all so soft, I can't wait to see more!

[Kalbon14]

Yes very good and like shadow cat said keep them coming!!

[Mighty Hyena]

Aww, thanks! I've finished the remaining Wuashih sprite (female) and here's a shiney Ellev.

http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_lion3f_big.gif
Name: Wuashih (female)
Type: Flying/Normal
Description: These rare Pokemon are fiercely protective of their prides and children. They are said to be able to take to the sky.

http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_lion1s_big.gif

[castiboy]

well.... those are so cute! the best is the shiny Ellev, but i think the shading on most isn't good enough, you have to make the outline darker, and i know most sprites have 3 shades, but the best when scratching is to work with 4-5, that makes it better.

[Esperante]

I have to say that those are done with real talent.

[Mighty Hyena]

Okay, I have been a busy little Girl Scout and have a few more sprites to show for it.

http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_horse1_big_t.gif

Whew. C&C are appreciated, because practice makes perfect. I tried to make them look more 'game'-like with the shading and poses, although I'm not sure I succeeded... anyway, enjoy.

[Thores]

Very cool! Loving the Kelfoal family.

Though, shouldn't the Harlepied family be Ghost/Flying or Flying/Ghost? It just seems to make more sense.

[Mighty Hyena]

Though, shouldn't the Harlepied family be Ghost/Flying or Flying/Ghost? It just seems to make more sense.

There are LOTS of flying types already. I wanted a little variety, although I might make Haxatl a dual... I just really like ghosts :D

[Shadow_Fox]

These are amazing, I really like the Harlepied line. Your ideas are wonderful and the sprites even better, keep up the good work.

~

[ZOMBIE!]

Those are freakin' awesome dude!

[BlackCat]

I love the Ellev line! They're your best sprites. They look like real pokemon. The cream color is not something you see very often on a pokemon. I also like Harlepied and its evolution. Even though Harlepied kinda reminds me of pidgey, you can tell that they're scratch.

[ZOMBIE!]

My fav. one would have to be Noctohm. Hmm, I just haed an idea but you'll probly wanna say no. I wanted to make a RPG forum with my own region and I was wondering if I could use your pokemon?

[Nagashi]

...Holy plastic Jesus! Those are freakin' awesome... Especially the Omniiqus line... *Reps you*

[Mighty Hyena]

Woah... thanks everyone! I've been everywhere and nowhere for the past few weeks, so I'll get back crackin' at it.

Re: Comicbook Romance - Okay, as long as you give credit. If you use it in a RPG, you may want to refer players to this thread so that they can actually see the Pokemon (it's sorta wierd to RP a creature you're never seen...)

I dunno what the next one will be like, but it'll probably have spots. Tune in next week for more Mighty Sprites with Extra Cheese!

[Mighty Hyena]

Okay, I lied, the spots idea didn't work out so good... anyway...

I'm really not happy with this latest batch. They were fun and all, but they look kinda boring and the same. Oh well, I'll post them for c+c (which is desperately needed for these 3).

HAPPY FUN BONUS DAY!
http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_lion1_big_summert.gif
Ellev on the beach, for the Paragon sprite contest (summer '05). He's got boardshorts! There's a lot of detail here that's hard to see: the puka-shell necklace, the shells on the beach, the details on the tail-lei thing. I'm proud of it though, it's very summery, which is the whole point.

HAPPY FUN BONUS DAY 2!
http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_eeveedoll.gif
It's Eevee sprite art, again for the contest - my first try at it. I didn't enter it, because I'm not happy with it, but I think it's cute. It's supposed to be a doll or plushie.

Have happy bonus fun!

[Tadashi]

child these are BEAUTIFUL! O.O I'm wicked jealous... keep them coming!!

[Dark_Lukerio]

Holy f**k. Those are AWESOME! And they're SCRATCHWORK?!? Honestly, all they're missing is a solid outline, and perhaps a little bit darker shading, but those RULE!

[xXSaberXx]

Haxatl=god.

Woot! I like it the best....just cause....it would be the one I would have in my party. xD I like the beach Ellev too, so kyute! o.o

OH OH! Question! Do you use the mouse to draw them then? Or a tablet pen? o.o?

[Mighty Hyena]

I use a mouse. I really wish I had a tablet pen though, everyone says that they're awesome and that they draw like awesomeness incarnate. Anyway... sorta taking a break right now, I need good ideas for Pokemon. But once I get some I'll get right back to work ;)

[Kaido The Cattox]

Very nicely done. And that bonus one is great! You're a good artist. Well done and good luck if you're making more. ;335;

[Mighty Hyena]

Thank you very much :) It's great to know people like them. Anyway, I have two more quickie Pokemon.

Yeah, slightly blah. All the same, I think they're pretty cute-looking. They seem more like house pets than Pokemon... oh well.

[ZOMBIE!]

Wow! I *heart* em'. They're so cute!! *huggles*

[Mighty Hyena]

Okay, more sprites. I know. It's been a while.

REVENGE OF THE HAPPY FUN BONUS!

http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_mix_wolfmix.gif
It's a mix of Houndoom, Mightyena, and Arcanine. A rather sloppy job, and my first mix, but I ended up with what I wanted - a pimped-out Mightyena - so I guess it's ok :D Mixes are a lot harder than I thought though.

Now to squeeze all my sprites onto the front page. Oy. Until next time!

[SapphireL]

Snowwter is so cute! XD That's a good job on the fur colors. ^__^

Good job!

[Charblizzard]

Very good sprites. All of them. Specially the chinese lions, Haxatl and the otters.
The rabbits are very original, IMO. But I think you should do a darker outline in some parts...other than that, almost perfect :D
The mix really looks like a pimped-out Mighthyena, so congratulations, you've got waht you wanted :p

[Mighty Hyena]

Thanks y'all :) I know about the darker outlines, especially on the skunks - grey is very hard to sprite with. I need to buckle down and do something today, so there'll probably be more fakemon later. I know, I know, you're all bursting with impatience... lol.

[Mighty Hyena]

Very very sorry for the double-post. *slaps own hand*

Today I have a tiny wimp of an update. However, because it is midnight here and I'm tired, I'm posting it anyway.

http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_mosquito2_big.gif
Name: Pesquito
Type: Bug/Dark
Classification: Mosquito
Description: Sneaky and irritating, this Pokemon attacks by draining blood from its opponents. While not strong individually, it is devastating in packs.

~~~~~~

SON OF THE HAPPY FUN TIME!

http://home.graffiti.net/ChibiAnna:graffiti.net/Images/pokemon_mosquito1_big.gif

Pesquito prototype. This doesn't count as an actual Pokemon because a) it sucks and b) it sucks, but I'm posting it anyway because it shows that I do try to improve my art.

Thank you and hope you have a good school year!

[Charblizzard]

My school year only starts in a couple of weeks, but thank you. :p
Pesquito is almost cute...Good work as usual. ;) Can't wait to see more of your work.

[Mighty Hyena]

Wow, it's been so long that I'm surprised this thread is still here O_o i'll get busy! :)

Oh yes. Old work, but I'm proud of it. A SCRATCH trainer sprite (omg!). Same character, but one is titchy and one isn't. Used on my trainer card.

[castiboy]
