Way to busy these days, unfortunedly. I will try to make some time to make some sprites for you, but I promise nothing.Hi guyz, guess what? I've been SPRITINGZ!!!!
There's a baby kangaroo for ya. Enjoy. Adult coming whenever I make art for it. +)
Trying to upload my fire rat art as well, but it is giving me problems right now. I'll pull it up whenever I can.
To-do list:
Draw and Sprite EA Kangadult.
Draw and Sprite EA Bull Infant.
Draw and Sprite EL Porcupine Infant.
Touch up SH Angler Infant.
Repose and Sprite FI Rat.
Think that covers all of my bases. +)I think the Baby Kangaroo looks a bit too much like your Earth Bull. They have similar color schemes and the head looks too much alike.
Hmmmmm... Maybe a simple color-shift could help with that. I'll test out a few of the Fall leaf colors (red, yellow, orange, brown) and see how each of those look. Also, the heads don't look that much alike, if you ask me.Hi guyz, guess what? I've been SPRITINGZ!!!!

In terms of the colors I would not worry about it because I think I am making a change to the bull instead. I am pretty sure I already planned to do so, so its not an issue.
Its a pretty decent sprite, I have one question that I cant figure out though... is the belly green or.. what is that between the legs? I just can't tell exactly what that is supposed to be, I am guessing its a green belly though.
Yes, it is a green leaf-motif belly. I plan on having this turn into something more pouch-like in the adult form. It is not a fig leaf, however. (I can see the jokes already...)Then you to redo the shading on the belly imo, because it now looks more like a leaf itself then a leaf motif/pattern.
And finally a new sprite from me, i finally had time to do it (couldn't sleep so decided to sprite :p). It's the baby form of the snow worm.
Nice dude! Works well with the adult!!
Question. I was in your thread and saw your grass lion/cat... any interest in donating that to the cause too? I think it would make a good addition to the earth category, or we could even make a slight change and make it the revised fire lion? Let me know.
It's fine by me, but i have an improved sprite so i'll post that tomorrow. ^^ Let me know if you want me to make it into a fire lion. ;)
I look forward to seeing the improved version! I will make a decision then if thats ok with you.... and by that I mean a decision on whether or not to make it fire. If it is really awesome we might just leave it a grass/earth lion and find something else to take the spot in the fire category, lol.
Well I prefer to let the sprite just how it is now. So submit it to earth and not to fire. And here is the improved sprite (changed some shading and outline) .
Fire Rat Concept Sketch.
Features:
Steam vents on back. (In use in the picture, thus the smoke cloud)
Multiple Eyes to give the illusion of a swarm in a dark location.
Fuse-Tail. (Eternally lit, Charizard-fashion)
Sorry about the slight glare in the picture. Also, would this be a good sprite pose, if it were to be accepted? And yes, I do plan on re-drawing the infant as well if this is accepted.
Please comment! +)
Also, expect a corrected SH Angler Infant later today.
EDIT: Later tomorrow...Studio, do you still need people to work for you? Even if it was only a sprite or two, I'd be extremely happy to do a drawing for you. Would be a nice addition to my uni application, being creditted in a game, heh.
Was thinking of a metal-wolf style thing, seeing as it looks like you have four spaces left in your metal species
If you would like to submit some stuff then we would welcome it! Thanks!Well I prefer to let the sprite just how it is now. So submit it to earth and not to fire. And here is the improved sprite (changed some shading and outline) .
Sounds good! I think we will make it the juvenile form so would you be interested in working on an adult form? Thanks!Fire Rat Concept Sketch.

I like where you are going with this... BUT. I am worried about the similarities between the steam vents on this concept and those on torkoal.... I would get rid of those.Obviously a lot of work left to do, but here's what I've got in the last few hours done.
The idea's a wolf with scales of armour instead of fur. Still got a crap ton of shading to do, but so far, does it look decent? Or should I scratch the idea and find a new one? Also, any ideas with what I could do with the head? It looks too flat, and I can't think what to do with it...Obviously a lot of work left to do, but here's what I've got in the last few hours done.

The entire sprite looks too flat to be honest. I know you said you have some shading to do but the pose is just wrong I feel.
With the concept you are working with you might be better off working on a creature like a pangolin or something? Think about it.
It will all really depend on how good it is, lol. I will not promise acceptance before I see it.
We are going to eventually have 6 creatures in each of the 9 elemental types. Check the 2nd post of this thread (at the bottom of the post) to see the collection of sprites we have so far.
Hmmm... Funny thing about that, because last night my brother thought of a solution to this without even noticing your question, lol. What donyou think about simply adding some piping to it, to re-route the smoke outward? Seems like a simple enough fix to me, although I of course have not drawn it out yet, so that is up to debate. :]
EDIT: Here is my slightly brightened SH Angler Baby.
Tell me anything wrong with it so I can fix. +)Hmmm... Funny thing about that, because last night my brother thought of a solution to this without even noticing your question, lol.

It feels completely flat in almost every way. The pose is that it is kind of bent in a traditional fish pose but it feels flat and the shading in general is just flat as well. the shading on the adult is so dynamic that this really needs some work before they can be put next to eachother.
I understand. We will make a big announcement when we launch the game so you will be sure to know! Thanks anyway!Hey! Me again. (I NEED a new avatar) Need any concepts! I have a new computer so I can upload them without fear of freezing! And along with that, I have a few questions about the game itself.
What's the Game's name?
Is the battle format like pokemon?
Are there any protagonists/antagonists?
If there is an antagonist, what is their goal?
Is the overwold format (like walking around) similar to pokemon?
What is the plot?
To the elemental types have any weaknesses/strengths?
Can you breed?
If you can breed, can you produce offspring other than the parent monsters?
Do the monsters have an overall name?
You don't have to answer all of them, but I'd be really be happy if you could. :)
Again, if you need concepts, I'll be here!
All great questions! I have been kind of surprised by how little information you guys have actually wanted to have especially considering how much time you have all been putting into this project, lol.
1 - The game's name is currently 'Genome' which refers to the fact that these creatures have been genetically modified and it is also an acronym for a stat modifying mechanic in the game.
2 - In what sense? Well, lets just go with no. Visually it will be set up much differnet than pokemon and more like other traditional RPGs. The battle system mechanics will be simular in that they will be turn based but that is a feature of all RPGs and not just pokemon. In our game humans actually participate in the battle and they have stats and attacks as well though their mechanics will work slightly different than those of the creatures. Also there are more potential consequences to taking damage in battles than in pokemon.
3 - Yes, there are definitely protagonists & antagonists in our game. The protagonist is an as-of-yet unnamed officer in the galactic navy who you are introduced to in the beginning of the game and who has a personal tie to what goes on in the game. As this officer you will navigate the entirety of the game. The antagonists of the game are for all intents and purposes a band of violent and oppressive marauding space pirates.
4 - The goal of the Marauders is to take control of the small scientific colony and to bend the research that is going on there to their will.
5 - Yes? Our game's overworld is based in a similar 2.5 Dimension view as pokemon uses. This style is also used by many other pixel RPGs. In our overworld however our creatures will be visible wandering around the landscape (sort of like in WoW if any of you have played that) and all three of your party's creatures will be visible following you around the world.
6 - I do not want to give away too much of the plot so that it is fresh even for you guys when you play through it but I will give you guys an overview. In our game the protagonist receives an urgent message from his father who is the head of a scientific colony on the planet Gliese534. Our protagonist then enters cryostasis for the long journey to his dad's position on his former homeworld. He is awakened as alarms are whirring in his ship and he realizes that he has been attacked and his ship is plummeting to the planets surface. After the crash landing he finds his dad's research station and realizes that it has been ransacked and abandoned. The main story plot os to determine what has happened to your father and to free the ruled from the brutal rule of the Marauders. There are other side quests and plots but I will leave those to the imagination for now.
7 - Yes. For balancing purposes each type has two strengths and two weaknesses. That way no one type is significantly better than the others and it allows players to be more strategic instead of just like having a psychic pokemon and owning basically everything.
8 - Breeding is not currently a mechanic that we have in the game.
10 - No. These creatures are simply genetically modified animals and do not have an overall name.
Good questions! Let me know if you have any more!
