Spriters have the artistic license to manipulate the original art however they please.
Actually... On the back sprite. The middle face is bugging me. The cheek's shading looks strange when the mouth is open like that...
If there's no more objections i'll be making this my final submission.
Doug, I know you're trying to make the Pokemon more Dragon-like, but I'd suggest sticking with what the art's purpose is. The art makes the Pokemon both cute and powerful and you're making it solely based on looking powerful. I see no cuteness. I haven't talked about CaP a lot, but IF I could sprite, I'd stay within the lines of the art, not overlook anything.
This looks really cool and has tons of potential. The only criticisms I have are that the front-right paw is turned too far inward (it looks pigeon-toed), and the cloud could be a bit lighter gray. The positioning of the heads is stellar, though (although the middle one could be looking at whatever the other two are looking at, so that it looks more intimidating).Originally Posted by Fat Clawed Nyasu
I wish KoA's color-work was as good as wyverii's
...First draft.
Coloring this beast was a lot easier than making the damn lineart. *_* I know that my cloud texturing isn't as good as some other people's but I love the way the heads game out. Crits appreciated!
Shinies verrry subject to change. I just threw down the first colors that came to mind. =P
You are my new favorite! This is exactly what I was thinking the sprite should look like when I saw the art. There is maybe something about the shading of the cloud that I find odd, but I cannot really put my finger on it... nevertheless, it does not bother me so much; this is what I am voting for!
THis is exactly the favoritism that should be absent from this sort of project. I cant believe you even posted this.
The middle head still looks off; still, great job! You just turned your submission into one of the top contenders :)Man am I glad I didn't leave, otherwise I wouldn't have finished up these little gems. <3
Complete sheet for convenience
Did some major facelifting. Raised the furthest head up and changed its direction as well as repositioned the other heads a bit too. Also fixed shading on the cloud and fixed up the glow effect on the body. Palettes and everything is all finalized and this is the final version of my sprites. Man, I'm exhausted...
Editing my Final submission post now.
