[INDEV] Pokemon Card GB Expansion | New Sprites 06/22/12 - Reconstructing OP

[Plino]

hi guys. sorry for the absence, school again

Team Magma's Aggron


Rocket's Moltres


Slowbro

[Garamonde]

Aggron is gorgeous.

[Kami]

Looks great, but why would they give team rocket a moltres, we know they're fails, but come on.

[Plino]

Team Magma's Houndoom


Golduck


Angel Plague: ha ha, right? Team Rocket isn't worthy of a Moltres... Giovanni maybe, but not the average grunt.

[Speed-X]

I'm back, sorta.

Gym Heroes Goldeen, 30/132
Lost track of all the tables and stuff though. Sorry! I've had so much college and just recently started working again.

Reserving: Misty's Poliwrath, 31/132.

Speaking of work, I work at Kmart now as a cashier...and when I head to the break room, I pass up the electronics...and EVERY TIME I do, I stare in want at the Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 boxes behind the glass door-shielded game shelf. O A O

[Plino]

Awesome Goldeen Speed! Yeah, I know what you mean... I would like to get White 2, but even if I did I wouldn't have much time to play it anyhow, ha ha.

Tyranitar


My first go at a Kimiya Masago card... it's interesting to say the least. Her CGI looks like a really beautiful watercolour sort of.

[Garamonde]

SPEED!!! Flippin' fabulous work both of you.

[Speed-X]

Funny, I actually was checking your Photobucket album to see what new uploads you have so I know what to avoid making (though primarily because I was about to work on the tables again, but then the pastebin was expired since I hadn't been around for a while and blah) and I saw that. Beautiful work, but I have a feeling that the dark colors are causing just a slight readability issue. I kinda have to squint a little to make things out. Perhaps its also just the contrast, too?

Just very minor adjustments are proposed, nothing major. Like, incredibly minor, most likely.

Honestly, I feel as if all the TCG artists have very interesting and unique works, and I'm glad that there's always been so much variety in the TCG artwork. Maybe less so than previously, but nonetheless still rather varied. Plus all the different artist portrayals / depictions of some Pokemon species performing certain actions are poses are also cool to see.

But I digress! I'm gonna work on some of my Psych homework then I'll work on Poliwrath. After Poliwrath I'll probably go off-course and do some from Dragons Exalted. I really like how they added a Dragon energy type into the TCG, even if it is only for certain expansions.

By the way, Starturds, that Aggron you made a few days ago is gorgeous. It's absolutely beautiful. You've improved greatly since the beginning of you starting this project, actually.

((Jetters: I'll be on AIM in a few minutes. XD ))


Poliwrath, Gym Heroes 31/132

Hope you don't mind me reserving two.
Nincada, Dragons Exalted, 10/124
Vulpix, Dragons Exalted, 18/124

I'll finish them as soon as I can.



That's all I'm doing until tomorrow; good night!


Next: Dragons Exalted Emolga, 45/124 *and* Dragons Exalted Drifblim, 51/124.


That's all for tonight. G'night again!



Next:
Dragons Exalted Roserade, 14/124
Dragons Exalted Wurmple, 6/124

[Plino]

OMG SPEED YOU SPRITED KANAKO EO'S EMOLGA AND DRIFBLIM

Kanako Eo is one of my favorite TCG artists. Keep up the awesome DE work!

Koga's Crobat


Kangaskhan


Dark Gengar


Can anyone help me out with that Dark Gengar? I think there's an extraneous colour somewhere in it, because Paint.NET is telling me I have nine. Here's my palette:

[Previous]

[Garamonde]

ROSERAAAAAADE!

Wurmple is a beauty too.

[Plino]

Dark Typhlosion


Thanks Previous!

[Speed-X]

Thanks Starturds! Yeah, I like her stippling work (probably the result of using a photoshop-esqued brush with a high separation value) and how simple yet effective her art is. Sadly it's difficult to show that in an 8-bit, shrunken rendering of the artwork.

Also, on your Typhlosion, there's a band of dithering on the neck that bugs me because it's in a straight vertical line. Looks flat.

Try something like this!

Next for me:
--Dragons Exalted, 56/124, Gothorita
--DE, 15/124, Roserade

[Garamonde]

Yay more Roserade!!

[Speed-X]

Yay, finished the Roserade!

Actually didn't turn out too terribly.

Next up is that Gothorita. But not until sometime tomorrow.


I'm rather satisfied with the result.

Next:
DE, 99/124 Aipom
DE, 101/124 Slakoth
Probably will have them done within the course of the next couple of days.
