So, long story short I've decided to stop making fakemon and instead make my own creatures for a game that I may or may not develop. The game is called Hieros Gamos, the creatures homunculi, and the whole thing is alchemy-based and similar in playstyle to Dragon Warrior Monsters for the GBC.
Why am I doing this? My creatures don't really look like fakemon in the first place, and well, not adding the Pokemon label gives me a lot more creativity with their designs and the way I sprite them. I hope you'll continue to follow my spriting, however!
Meet Salamendra, one of the "starters", in its fourth and final Rank (similar to evolution). It represents the element of fire in its purest form. Pretty awesome, huh?
Anyways. I didn't see any of you at the last Pocket Spriter (which might have been good, since there was some drama going on). I'd love to see some of you there, and I'll be taking requests, so come on down! (For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, Pocket Spriter is a live streaming Pokemon spriting tutorial that happens about once a month.)
