That is so fucking scary it's almost awesome.
ALMOST

EDIT
Libramada, there's a really easy way to make any sprite transparent without using something like iaza.
Download PAINT.nNET
Rip the sprite if it's on a sheet using the rectangle select, or just opent he single sprite (depending on what you d/led).
Once you've C+Ped the sprite to a NEW PAINT.NET document, without unclicking anything, find the Magic Pen icon on the toolbar (looks like a wand) and click on the whole thing. If the sprite has any bits inside it (like say two tentacles overlap and have a piece of white background inside them) hold Ctrl and click them as well. Then press Ctrl+I to invert it, and Copy+Paste the highlighted sprite/do whatever with it.
The sprite is now transparent.
This method is a lot simpler than it seems, and you can use it for ANY sprite without the need for Net access or whatnot. it also makes it easy to transparency-ify sprites ripped from a sprite sheet.
 
Sup, here's some graphics stuff I've made.

Pretty sure I suck at these.

PokeNFL:

Got inspired by the NPL here and made logos to represent NFL Teams with Pokemon. I plan to do all 32 some time down the road, I'll probably redo some later.

Denver

San Diego

Oakland

Detroit [Still need to do text, Xous's artwork used with permission here]

New York [Jets]

New England [Should probably redo since it sucks]
 
Here's a banner I made for a future giveaway I'll be hosting in the wifi forum:

merry_christmas_by_princessofjohto-d4j1t0e.png

I'm happy with the result! Please note that I didn't draw the Vanilluxe (I wish I could draw/color that well :x), it was done by Xous54 from dA!
 
Ah, Toast. Excellent job on those. Couple of things though (I have a strange tendency to C+C everything I see):
1. Those flap things inside the arms are missing. reference
I know why they're missing- it's hard to pull of rows of straight lines at different angles, in a small space no less. Which is why I say
2. It's smaller than it should be.
Right now it's slightly smaller than Archeops. The bulky feel isn't completely there. So you might want to enlarge it, and add a few pixels here and there. Tough, but sorry.

Other than that, I'm pretty sure yours will do good in CAP2 spriting.
(That is, IF Onigami wins Yilxmon.)
Good luck!

EDIT TO BELOW: Hmm, you're right. But it still looks like something's not right...I think the head's too small, or...I dunno.
Whatever. Good job!
 
oh crap, yeah, I knew I was forgetting something.

Also, it doesn't really have a set size. :/ In my mind it was around 4'0" - 4'5" (I believe Trainer Red is 4'8 or something)

He isn't that much smaller than Archeops, especially considering how it's stretched out with it's wings and tail spread verticaly (actually I think he's bigger when you compare their bodies).
 
If I may, I would like to request an avatar. My current one was just pulled off of the internet somewhere and It is getting old. The only two requirements I have are 1) that my name, OdeDischarge, Is in the avatar and 2) it in some way has an electric Pokemon to relate to the name "Discharge". Outside of these two guidelines, you can have all creative reign to do as you please (just keep it appropriate).

Thank you for your time,
-OdeDischarge

P.S. The "O" and the "D" are capitalized in OdeDischarge
 
@OdeDischarge: I might make a lickie avatar for you if I can finish my other requests.

I don't know if this is the place to ask, but could I make an art thread with mostly lickie avatars? If so, should I?

To be in Christmas Spirit, can someone please make me a Serperior in a Christmas setting, they would be the greatest person ever!

PS: It can be drawn or in sprite form. Whichever you prefer :D

However, for now im going to post sprite arts i've done.

Would anyone be nice enough to make me a Dugtrio banner with my name? If so, Thanks, truly appreciate it.

Pro tip: Find an image of Dugtrio you want to be used and post it here, because that image will say a lot of how you want the banner to be.

It would also help if you could name the dimensions of the banner, because really, a 'banner' could be anything from a small badge to a huge screen.

This is a really emotional piece which speaks to me in a very powerful way. The use of solid black lineart makes for a strong impression of the fiery colors contained within their boundaries, but also serves as a dark, grim aura separating this pure beast from the radiant background surrounding it.

I'd like to believe that this Charmander is the embodiment of personal belief and civil courage within our dying society. While his limbs are gnarly and its back crooked, its flame burns as bright as ever, never fading and never ceasing to spread its warmth into the background of this image which seemingly is drenched with snow. And yet, this Charmander bows down and prays. For what, or to what, is left for the beholder to decide. Because any answer is acceptable. But this simple yet surprisingly deep detail leaves an obvious message, that knowing your limits and to be humble enough to seek the trust and help from others can be a strong foundation for future relationships.

This is a phenomenal picture. I give it a D+.
