Timon & Pumbaa (Monster Massachusetts), Pokémon GSC-style

[DecaTilde]

This is what Monster Timon would look like if he were in the Gen II Pokémon games. I even updated my avatar to feature him in this style. The sprite is traced from a screenshot from "Monster Massachusetts", a Season 2 episode of The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

So, what do you guys think?

Wow, fifty-five views, and not one shred of opinion.

Well, anyway, I just did a back sprite, too.

What do you all think now?

[DecaTilde]

What, still no replies?

Anyway, here's another character to receive a Pokémon-GSC-like sprite. It's Monster Pumbaa, also from "Monster Massachusetts".

And as a result, I'm renaming this thread.

Ι'm sorry that what I just posted in response to lack of replies or comments is not a sprite, but why is nobody replying or commenting on this thread?

And I would have inserted a facepalm emoji, but emojis don't show on this forum.

I think they look a bit crowded.

Also these character designs are creepy. Way to go, Disney, haha.

Have you considered editing existing sheets of them into these forms?

[DecaTilde]

I'll put that into consideration sometime.

Anyway, I worked on some overworld sprites, and tSR icons.

Timon (Monster Massachusetts) - PKMN GSC

Pumbaa (Monster Massachusetts) - PKMN GSC

I hope the sprite sheets get submitted into tSR.

And to Ton, have you ever seen the episode? I'm planning to do a Reanimated Collab project of the episode.

Hi I just came on to this thread because the title drew me in.

Anyways you have to keep in mind that these forums aren't as active as they used to be. Most of the time everyone is on discord since that's where most of the activity is since you're more likely to get quicker feed back.

That isn't to say that these forums don't have their purpose still but the feed back is far more slower than what it once was so that's part of the reason why you won't get as many replies on this part of the community.

As for your sprites, I'm inclined to agree with Ton, the Timon sprite is crowded but I think to explain why might be in order.

Part of the challenge with GSC Sprites is that you're working with a relatively limited canvas size for the sprites (roughly 64x64 if I'm not mistaken) which means that depending on the character if you really want to get as much detail into the sprites then you may have to end up exaggerating some of the characteristics of whomever it is you are spriting for the sake of clarity.

I'd get some examples to better illustrate this but frankly as I am writing this post I am currently getting ready to head out the door and get to my job so time isn't exactly on my side at the moment. Until then maybe try to find some GSC sprites and look closely at sprites like say, Lugia or Charizard for example.
