• 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?

Welcome to the Marah Region! Pokemon Ivory and Pokemon Ebony!

I'd like to say that I haven't given up on spriting your Pokemon, but I've had issues with computer crashings, and I've lost some valuable data. This is why I'm taking so long. My apologies. I'll edit the finished sprite of Ebonyst into this post within the next 2 days.

EDIT: Here you are!

I have two versions. Both versions are the same except for a different color pallet on each. The first one has a blueish tint to it (I personally like this one better):

The second one has pure black with different shades of gray:

You can choose whichever one you like best.

...Wow. That is amazing. You even got the curvy white patterns perfect. Oh my gosh. There's no way you could have known this unless I told you, but the white parts are supposed to be a little different shade, but it's hard to explain. Do you mind if i recolor it a little bit?

Oh by the way, i like the first one as well. It's closer to the color I was trying to get in the picture. My camera isn't good at capturing colors.

A recolor is fine, it's your concept. I can't get into your imagination, so you're the only one who can really get the color right. Tell me if you have problems recoloring the lines though. I shaded them a bit weird.

Oh and I'm glad you approve. :) I was kind of worried about the white squiggles, It's hard to get a complicated shape into pixel form, but it must have worked out if you like it so much. Florant is next! Would you mind if I altered it a bit, there are a few things that kind of bug me (no pun intended).
 
Mind if I alter them a bit? Mainly darken up the outlines on Ebonyst and try AAing the curves to make them look more smooth.

Also, I can try to sprite some, but I really need a drawing to know what you want... It can be quick pencil art, but some kind of reference would be helpful.
 
Aethelstan (do you have a nickname? Aethelstan gets annoying to type.), that's fine. The mushrooms are very small on the pic. If you missed my post on your profile earlier, you can use the sprites if you credit me for the concept.

Zulo, you can edit Ivoron and Ebonyst. You also can sprite whatever you want. Just let me know which one you want me to draw.

This is all very good, I especially like the high number of inventive moves, but something about them makes no sense - specifically the ones which say "Always lands a critical hit". The reason this makes no sense is because if it always hit with critical damage, there is absolutely no point in it being critical in the first place, as being critical doubles the ordinary damage the move would cause, thus if the 'critical' damage is the damage it always causes, that... doesn't make it critical.

Does that make any sense?
 
Strange, I thought Cross Chop from the games had that same effect... I guess not. I'll figure out some way to change that.
 
(Heh, by the time everyone is done with Ebonyst and Ivoron, they'll have been edited into obilvion :P) Yes I do have a nickname, call me Stan. Are there any other color alterations on the legendary bugs I should know about, I'm going to sprite them all at once since they're all so similar. Since there was an unknown color on Ebonyst, it would save time if I had the correct color pallets to begin with.
 
Umm... There aren't really specific colors for the bugs like there were for Ivoron and Ebonyst. Florant is greens with some red mushrooms, Faunat is purples with some yellow scales, and Formite is orange with some blue crystals. There aren't really any specific colors. And I couldn't give you a palate because I don't know how. `-_-
 
Well.

Our family had to go on an unexpected trip. I apologize for the lack of stuff.

But I did write down a ton of stuff, so I will update with what I did in the next few days.
 
I'm sorry, but I can't do it. The bugs keep coming out all wrong, they're either deformed, or so off the original design that they're unrecognizable. Assign me something else to sprite, the bugs (especially the wings) are driving me crazy.
 
Haha it's okay! How about spriting some items? If you want to, I'll PM them to you since I'm working on items as part of the story that I will be posting in a few days.

I will be taking another unexpected trip until next Tuesday. A relative needs help.

Click to expand...

Items sound good. Whenever you get back go ahead with that PM.
 
Once again, I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I know I keep apologizing, but none of this lack of updates is my fault. I do have a life that sometimes interferes with this thread.

I added type-enhancing items and some of their sprites.
