It looks like I'm temp leader while Noah tries to get unbanned.

If you have any problems, PM me.
I'll be in and out to watch things, just continue posting like normal. ^_^

And really nice banner!
 
Ugh, I want to try and enter safariblade's Fakemon contest (since I guess our's kinda died...), and I need something ghosty. I would like to avoid a simple ghost with boxing gloves or whatever, so I've been racking my mind all day.
btw I watched "Inception" and stayed up late last night. Again. But I spent the whole night watching "Billy the Exterminator" reruns instead of doing art.
Whatever.
 
I have a great idea.

But I'm not sure if I should tell you guys lol.
But I will. I know you guys won't rip.

Undead samurai. Sounds dumb now. It'll work.
 
That thought actually crossed my mind, but I think that a samurai's armor is too complex to be represented as a Pokemon, since I do think of Pokemon as more simple.
 
Safari- I think it has the possibility to make a very cute basic Pokemon, but for anything else I can't think of anything.
 
Actually figured something out. I figured since "ghost" and "fighting" are both such ambiguous things (since anything can be a ghost and anything can fight), I would just kinda try to combine them and it would work no matter what. So I looked up water buffalos because I think they're cool, and lo and behold, water buffalos fight in the wild. Then, looking up more about water buffalos, I found a really neat statue of one from long ago, and used it much more as a basis than the real animal.
So I have a ghostly water buffalo.
It'll be way sick.
 
Well, I thought of that, but I figure if you change the theme of the animal, make it look like it belongs, it works just fine. Think of Hippowdon, for example. Even though it is very clearly a hippopotamus, its colors and design make it so that you never think twice about it being a ground type.
So, in relation to that argument, if I accentuate the fighting part of the buffalo as opposed to the water part, then just make it a ghost, it ends up as a fighting ghost.
 
Just to make it official, Safariblade is your new temporary leader. If LORDYJONES does not return in a decent amount of time, he will be the permanent leader.
 
Yepyep, understood loud and clear.

I drew a Granbull and a Xatu. Granbull gave me some trouble, it's such an overlooked, ridiculous Pokemon that I didn't really know how to go about drawing it. I respect Xatu's design a lot more than I did before I drew it, but my drawing did not really come out as well as I had hoped. I guess I'll draw more Pokemon because I want to draw but I have no ideas that are even halfway decent.
ALSO
I have a list of 18 Pokemon that I will force myself to draw. I like most of them, but I'm worried I'll decide to not draw them out of laziness, but NOOOOOO
I'll FORCE myself.

The list:
Parasect
VIleplume
Poliwrath
Machamp
Slowbro
Hypno
Ledian
Crobat
Piloswine
Swampert
Cacnea
Whiscash
Duskull
Abomasnow
Shaymin
Dwebble
Druddigon
Virizion

So yeah.
 
Is the Shaymin Land Forme, since you've done sky?
And I can't wait to see Duskull, as the people who've known me from the start might have guessed.

Congrats, safariblade! I thought you were already leader of The Shiny Clan and Bible Time, though. Have they allowed three?
 
6-D-Well, I find myself more commited to doing junk like that when I'm doing it with other people. So, if you want me too, I could challenge myself to drawing some pokemon aswell. Besides, the challenge sounds fun.


EDIT:

Oh, and for those who read my dA journal, I went to the courtyar yesterday and took some pictures, so I'll try to upload them as soon as I find that wierd connector thingy...

Unforunatly all the full body pics turned out awful, so beyond the possibility of my neck being thinner after the diet, maybe nothing's changed.

Darn my tank-tops...



EDIT 2: Toley's request
 
Yeah, haha, it is the Land Forme. Honestly, I never really had any desire to draw the Sky Forme, it was just a request on Smogon.
Love the toucan, aggie! That lineless style really came out well, it looks like stylized realism.
So far I've done the first four on my list, but my Machamp is really dumb and uninspired so I'll have to go back and re-do it at some point.
 
Thanks! Oh, and you guys got to see this.

I figured out that I could do animations with photoshop the whole time. :/

Oh well.
 
Yah, probably. Well, first you make the base of the animation, like....let's say we're working with a blinking animation. You would first draw the girls face and and everything, and have her eyes open. That would all be on the first layer. Then, you duplicate that layer and make the next sequence of the animation, maybe her eyes will be half open by then. And you just keep duplicating the layer and the new sequences until you've made a new layer for every part of the animation.

Then, you save it as a GIF file, and if your's is like mine there should be a box you can check that says "Animate" and there should be further choices on the bottom, like how long each layer should stay before moving to the next.
