I feel bad that only one set of sprites will be used in the end, as you guys (and gals ;)) seem to be working quite hard on these.
There are so many different requests for different shinys so i'll leave it until something can be agreed upon. Until then here:
I figured out how to animate! Yay!
I was meaning to bring it to the 16 colour limit but darkening the lower sections made it far harder to pull off. All front sprites are now 16 colours (excluding white/transparent) and back sprites are 14 colours. I don't think there's any noticeable difference which would be the best outcome. The female sprites had a few artefacts floating around which I had to locate.
(Yeah, it will come out as 17/15 in a colour checker but that counts transparency/background).
Mkay, I removed the dithering then.
EDIT: Backpose sketch and female sprites coming tomorrow maybe.
I don't right like the head/neck positioning of Wyverii's. Gives it a parrot-esque look, if you know what I mean. That's just my two cents, don't take it to heart. I rarely comment on other's work anyway since I have my own to worry about.

I wish I was around for Syclant, that would have been a sprite battle worth watching.
Now that one is much better. The one on the right was too skinny in my opinion.Oh by the way, was it KoA that did the last two CAP Pokemon? If so, i'll have to say that Syclant floored me, it is rather beautiful. Revenankh is also very nice but can't compare to Syclant. His current sprite doesn't seem to match but then again it's a very complex Pokemon with a lot of different textures. I wish I was around for Syclant, that would have been a sprite battle worth watching.
By the way, I asked before and got told no but since everybody keeps going on about it. Should I bulk my sprite's cannons/armour up?
It's cuuute! xD
Edit:
Thickened one on the left.
Could you maybe experiment with having the Males with larger teeth or fangs? I'd like to see if it would fit it.I have far more experience with slim elegant sprites so i'm a bit tentative on making something bulky. Keeps ideas coming or if you prefer I could just wrap up the whole sprite + icon + animation and leave it.
By the way, if anybody else wins and they do not plan to make an icon i'll give full rights of it to the winner.

Edit2: (just noticed Hasmat's question)
Yes it is, unless you're talking about the shown circle of wood which is a matter of perspective. It's how I envisioned the sprite to be.

OK, yeah me too. DougJustDoug, that is an awesome idea. I can't wait!!
Didn't think it would work considering the size of the fangs and I don't really like the result. Personally i'd keep it to the hair and slight hue/saturation change.
