Encyclopedia Updated!
There were a couple of things that I missed on the last one. Everything SHOULD be up to date now. Let me know if I am lying again.
I will update the Overworld encyclopedia soon as well for those of you who are working on those sprites. For now just consult both encyclopedias to see whats going on. There have been no new overworld sprites submitted lately so don't worry about that."It'll be done by tonight!" Next day...
"I'll definitely do it today!" Distractions, Next day...
"I'm going to be productive today!" Reads required summer reading, forgets sprite, Next day...
"OK, I'm tired. No spriting today." Next day...
"Do it before I go to bed!" Dammit Synchtube, Next day...
"YOU WILL FINISH IT TODAY" Progress! Gasp!
Yeah, so I am officially the world's worst procrastinator. That was literally the past five days' excuses as to why I failed to finish this. Hopefully not too big of a deal, but yeah. Done now, so I'm happy at least. I had to edit this thing's outline at least three times in order to get it right. Still not sure if I like the back arm showing, but yeah. Tried to put it in a more dynamic pose this time, and hopefully this will work. +)
Also, I shaded the chest scales in a different style as well, but I thought it used way to much pillow shading and just didn't look as good. the alt shade can be seen here, if anyone's interested.

Again, sorry for the massive delay. I hate myself too whenever I do this kind of thing, so yeah. +/
And yeah, working on the Shadow Angler Infant and Ice Ibex Infant next.
EDIT: SA Infant concept art, and yes, I intend to repose it. Tell me what you think!
\o
Revamping the adult solar owl and working on the juvenile lamprey (I guess it's going to be some kind of leech). Could we just simply replace the spiders with the lamprey line since they need a revamp anyways?
Awesome! Sounds good! Where are you going on vacation?
Sweet! Can't wait to see it!

Ha ha ha ha. No worries. I know by now that when you say that I will have it by tonight that I wont see it for another week, LOL. As for the juvenile... I like the perspective you are getting with the rotated spine and such. I think you need to scrap the fancy plating on the limbs and just make basic legs because right now it is hard to tell what is going on. Also the tail probably dips down too much... right now it almost looks like he is flying or something. Have it curve around the side or something...
Angler juvenile looks much better. Maybe throw in the back arm too? and just make sure it feels like there is perspective and depth there.
Looking forward to the owls! I don't know if you saw but I have adapted the lamprey to be the adult shadow bat/lamprey thing. You can make a juvenile revamp to fit it if you want but I think that's where its going to go. My boss REALLY wants spiders, lol.Do the spiders need to be Atomic? Metal Spiders could be interesting...
I'll take your advice though, Jon. Will require some more screwing with the outline, but I have been getting more at peace with that concept as of late. +)
As for the Shadow Angler, glad to hear you like it! As I mentioned in my post, I plan on reposing it for the actual sprite in a more dynamic pose, so no worries there.
Thanks for the speedy reply!How about a swordfish for the last metal concept?
Alrighty! Sounds good! I think we will try and keep the spiders atomic for now just because I think we can do cooler things for a metal concept.
Swordfish could actually be interesting!What if we were to take it in a literal sense? A fish holding a sword? Swordfish?Well that saves me a lot of trouble, the two actually look good together.
I suppose I'll go and revamp the spiders too then :>
Ha ha ha ha, maybe not. But maybe something with like a chainsaw like thing on its nose? I dunno.aww, I think a squirefish and knightfish would be AWEZZZOME!
;_;
If you want to try it then go for it, lol. I'm just worried that it will go too much toward pokemon. All our other creatures are just animals really. But go for it. If its awesome then we will use it! ;)Eh, didn't turn out as well as I wanted it to, but
@Dhjona: it looks good, but it looks like the head is comming from the side rather than turning, and the one leg looks like its just randomly jutting out rather than actually in a place that looks right. otherwise good :)
@suitman: THAT LOOKS SO COOL *idolises*@suitman: Sir that looks amazing. Seriously, I can't find a single issue with it. Neither can I do so on the overworld sprites.Feel free to QC
I can't stand to only post rejections.Eh, didn't turn out as well as I wanted it to, but
It look like a pretty good start but there are some issues. The head is pretty flat since it is looking straight to the side and the legs look slightly awkward. As best as I can tell the body works well but with the other issues it is hard to tell for sure. Also, now that I am looking at it the tail/ring thing seems off too. I just looks weird to have 3 spikes on one side and nothing on the other. I think on the original they were in the center. Sorry, dude. That ended up being a lot.
Tha Earth Lion Adult in tha house!
A bit late, but yeah.. busy as always.
I will slightly edit the juvenile lion, so that it fits more with the adult.
I agree with Doran that the head feels awkward. I'm sure its difficult to convey a neck bend when its head is covered in a leafy mane but we need to tweak something... Also the tail feels like it is WAY too thick and maybe all the vines/roots on the body could be a little more subtle or something.
Also, and I hate to say this, but the sprite feels slightly familiar...
EDIT: Yeah it took two seconds to find the sprite I was thinking about.
It does look like you just used it as reference and didn't trace, so no worries I guess.
What are the dimensions for overworlds?
EDIT: Never mind. Done.
This is awesome! I like that you took the initiative to make the overworld sprites too!
Like what the other guys say there is nothing that I can find wrong with the sprite in a technical sense. However... and this is really just a minor thing... but in the game if people train this thing and it matures into a giant gorilla they will likely be surprised. Its a GREAT sprite but it might need to be slightly clearer that it is some sort of ape/monkey and not just a fiery imp. Just find some way to slightly tweak it, don't scrap the sprite.
No. The sprites are part of a game that is still under development.
Feel free to QC
I can't stand to only post rejections.
Ha ha ha! The Narwhal is doing a handstand! That's awesome!
Have you had any luck on the overworld sprites?I really hate to be the one who puts this out, but some parts of Dhjona's lion match the reference pixel for pixel, so it may unfortunately be unsalvageable :(
