Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Re: HEY LOOK FAKE POKEYMANS
:D I'm really fond of your designs for Fakémon, especially the water bear line. Will that line have any sort of counterpart to a water bear's ability for supensed animation, or would it make the water bear line too powerful? <3~ I wanted to make a water bear line, and I thought the idea wouldn't be taken. Oh, why does it take until the final stage until that line recieves six legs?

Re: HEY LOOK FAKE POKEYMANS
Dragon: I doubt that, (and yes, I know you're exaggerating), but thank you.
FMC: Glad to hear that you like it. :)
Spoon: Thanks. Um, I don't know if they can suspend animation or not. Probably, but I can't imagine it would make them "too powerful" or have any sort of discernable "ingame" use. And I hope I haven't discouraged you from making your own water bear fakes (you can never have too many water bears!); while originality and individuality are nice things, and while I *did* make fun of the number of people who create Lapras evolutions/babies on my dA account, I'm really annoyed by the fact that people seem to think they can't create a Pokémon based on X because "someone else did it first"/"it's taken". I mean, Nintendo has created oodles of generic catlike Pokémon, but people still create those... why is it any different for animals that aren't official Pokémon? Nintendo doesn't own cats any more than I own water bears, so as long as people can put their own properly unique and interesting spin on the animal base then I don't see what the hangup is. [/rant]
Given that most water bears actually have around eight legs, not six, Endruin is still technically inaccurate; I honestly don't care, though, as giving bug Pokémon the right number of legs seems to be against the rules in Pokémonland anyway. :P Nah, it's just because I felt like too many legs would get in the way, and I still wanted to retain some of the "bear" look. Tedigrae would be an even creepier teddy bear thing if it had six limbs, and it isn't supposed to look creepy in the first place D: (ugh must redesign)

Re: HEY LOOK FAKE POKEYMANS
I was able to sketch the last two requests in class today, so here they are for your approval.
EeveeSkitty: here. You never told me what color the diamonds were supposed to be. I also wasn't sure whether you wanted one diamond on each leg or multiple diamonds; I think it looks rather plain as it is, personally, but it's your design so you need to tell me whether you want more or not.
White Wolf: here. The only thing I'm confused about are the little... beige whatsits on Aquatter's back. Are they disks, bulging bands kind of like Houndoom's "exposed ribs", or what? Drawing them was a little awkward, especially since I have no idea what on earth they are supposed to be. (I realize I forgot the whiskers; they'll be there on the final image.)

Re: HEY LOOK FAKE POKEYMANS
Danni: Thank you. :D
Grimdour: Thanks. Actually, I have an old sketch of a Houndoom evolution someone else requested a long time ago. Not that I'd rehash their picture without their permission, but I'm not opposed to the general idea. Maybe sometime.
Hm... if you really want to sprite them, would you mind terribly doing the Crocoal line? If you wouldn't mind me using them in ASB, that is. I'm flattered either way, anyhow.

Re: HEY LOOK FAKE POKEYMANS
Hey I love what you did with Aquatter. It looks freaking amazing. As for the half disks one his back you drew them well. I really didn't know what they were when I was spriting them. =)
As soon as requests are cleared up, I'll have to have you draw another one of my sprites. Keep up the good work.

Re: HEY LOOK FAKE POKEYMANS
White Wolf, you've viewed the thread since I last posted but haven't said anything. I am assuming that means you're approving of what Tropiking said and consider that good enough. The next time I'll have enough free time to devote to this is tomorrow during class again, and I'd like to ink it then if I can. I'm going to go ahead if you don't say anything to the contrary.

Re: HEY LOOK FAKE POKEYMANS
All done, thank god.
Cute cat thing
Aquatter
The more astute observers among you have probably noticed that, with these two pictures, I have finished the request list. The logical conclusion would be that I am going to open requests again, but, sadly, I am not. I'm still freakishly behind on my novel and honestly don't need any more excuses to procrastinate (I just wanted to get these last two out of the way and be done with them), and so chances are that requests will remain closed until December. I *might* reopen them sooner if I can get myself caught up and comfortable, but I make no promises.

Re: HEY LOOK FAKE POKEYMANS
Since I'm caught up with my novel and will presumably have a lot of free time over the Thanksgiving break, I've decided to reopen requests. Only five at a time and one per person per request, as usual, but yeah, they're open. Also remember that, even though I just said I will have a lot of free time, other stuff still currently comes first and so I'm not promising that your requests will be done NAOW or anything.
...The lineart might not be as wonderful as it usually is (or, well, I won't be as happy with it as I usually am, whether you all notice/care or not), though, because either I was stupid and lost my school-supplied artbox with the crazy-awesome and totally sexy pens, or someone else at school was a jackass and stole my artbox with the crazy-awesome and totally sexy pens. I'm leaning more towards the latter because I've looked all over the place and those things cost like 45 bucks and it isn't surprising that someone would want free extras. D< RAWR. So until I can buy another box from the school I will have to use my old pens, which are significantly less sexy (to me, anyway). And that was not important to any of you, especially since I'm sure you won't notice any difference, but I felt like ranting. D<
I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind you that I like criticism. Really. I like it a lot. You can all say that the pictures are lovely and perfect and all that, and it does make me feel all pretty inside, but I'd feel even prettier if you'd help me figure out what's wrong with them. Because the first rule of art is that there is ALWAYS something wrong. I don't care how much you like a picture, there is something wrong with it. I mean, I generally notice most glaring flaws on my own, but that doesn't mean I don't want to hear what other people think!
