Spriting & Graphics

Yeah, so I've been doing a little Pokémon spriting, and other fun stuff. In case you don't know, a sprite is the Pokémon you see in the gameboy games. There are also trainer sprites, item sprites, and lots more. Therefore spriting is tinkering with sprites, which is what I've been doing basically. This is what I've done:




I guess this is pretty self-explanatory. It's a trainer sprite (a Camper boy, with his arm erased off), sitting on a Tropius. He is supposed to be crouching, but he does kind of look like he's sitting.




This is a merge between two Pokémon. Can't guess which ones? It's Golbat and Skarmory! I name it... Skarbat! The other option was Golmory, which doesn't sound as good. The trouble is, I've run into a dilemma with this Pokémon. What types is it? Poison and Steel? Poison and Flying? Steel and Flying? Or all three!?



This is a bit of a random one I suppose. I've jammed at least a hundred Magnemites into the small space of eighty by eighty pixels. Still, it is quite funny (and random), and I call this picture Magnemite Overload!




This one's my least favourite. It is basically just a recolouring of a Gardevoir to gold. So I call it Golden Gardevoir. At least I can give it two definite types - Psychic and Steel.




This is probably my favourite one, either that or Magnemite Overload! It is a Team Magma Trainer about to suck her Pokémon back into its pokeball. Can you guess which Pokémon it is? Here's a hint. It's from Kanto and the sprite is an Emerald one (not animated).


After this I hope to move onto making little random (and hopefully funny) animations, not just about Pokémon, anything I can think about. But until then, bye for now, and don't forget my challenge to you all at Monkey Kick-Off!

Catch-Up

Seeing as I haven't been able to post on the blog for a while, for reasons which I don't know, here is a brief summary of what I have been doing when not posting on the blog - i.e: a catch-up:


• Finally, I was able to code my own User Lookup. I am really proud of it, seeing as I did everything on it, even the background graphics. It might need a little more fine tweaking, but still, I'm happy with it. Click here to see it.


• I resigned as manager on itsagoal.com. :( I still have an account, and can get a new club any time I want, but not now. Unfortunately, it just lost its appeal to me after two seasons. I might be be back on it someday though...


• Hopefully, I can start up some petpages on Neopets soon. I am currently doing some coding on Dreamweaver. When it's finished, you'll see what it's all about.


• And last of all, I created a Flickr account. Flickr, in my opinion is a great sight, which is not just a image hosting site. It has much more, so click here to sign up. Here is some of my art which I have put on it:







Yes, I know it is a bit of a dodgy name, but still. I just like it. If you don't know what it is, then I will tell you. it is a Pokémon Trainer's Card. I think that they are really neat. A great tutorial for making them is here. (All sprites on the image from: www.pokemonelite2000.com/). Well, g'bye for now, I'll try to post more often now.
