Ya, I know the pixel art realm is pretty saturated with pokemon art but I've never taken a whack at it and figured I'd give it a try.
idea is an ant pokemon that starts off as [bug] or [bug][flying] type hen evolves into a [bug][fire] type. Just trying to use some of the less used or underrated types.


So there is the first form. Just wondering if people think I've got the pokemon style or not. Crits would be greatly appreciated.


Here is my process.

2nd form to come soon. He'll have lost his wings, be bigger and meaner and the face on his butt will be more prominent and breath flames. (a fire-ant)

Really looks like a pokémon sprite! Just one thing, it has 16 colors. Pokémon sprites only have 13 (not sure why, since the game boy advanced could handle way more colors), but I dont think thats a big issue.

there's not a set pallette that they use for every pokemon, so you're out of luck in that department.
but this looks really nice! looks a lot like a real pokemon sprite.

cool. I just noticed on a sprite sheet that they seemed to repeat the same colours frequently. I also noticed that Ho-oh has 14 colours, at least on this diamond and pearl sprite sheet.

ya. Pearl/ds is what I've been aiming for all along.
And sampling of colours is what I've been doing so far, though the green I used was pretty hard to find. Only larvitar, tyranitar and a few others have it.
2nd form is on the way, I'll post it within the next day or so.

Also, I have a [fighting][ghost] type I might do.

That's beautiful!

Some guy is looking to hire a Poke designer in the jobs section if you're interested.
