He has a scar from a fight with a Seviper because (A) Scars are BA, and (B), I couldn't get his eye to not look terribad.

Nice! Mind if I trace it and put it with a trainer I drew?

I'll save you some time and give you the source file.

Just be sure to post your image back here so we can all ogle it.

[Malfunctioned]

I know my evil twin is made of awesome, but what about me?

Well Deuxhero is pretty damn awesome too
Curse you late night typing!

No, there's no reason my trainer has a black/yellow/green theme.

Remember to use your own hosting when the time comes.

Psst. Your body is a seperate angle than the head. Shift that open shirt bit to the right a bit. You have it right on your normal avatar.

[Nate the Snake]

Okay, I'm resubmitting my request for an OOTS-style Mightyena avatar, since my original avatarist is unfortunately unable to do it.

Like this, but facing the other direction.

AlterForm, I really like how your Growlithe turned out. Would you be willing to do something similar for mine?

I'll see what I can do. Schedule is filling up, so it might be a day or two. Anyone else is welcome to try their hand at beating me to it.

Finally decided who was to ride my dodrio and have thusly finished my avatar:

Alright, changed the vest... let's see

[TheCountAlucard]

No one wants to do an Alucard-themed Pokémon-atar?

Alucard-Gengar might work... same psychotic smile.


EDIT: Working on one now. Gengar is easy to trace draw.

[TheCountAlucard]

That is perfect. The ghost Pokémon from first-gen were some of my favorites.

[deuxhero]

better. Still something off. Prehaps it's the sleave coming from behind the body being strange, or the sleeves in general being odd on a 2 piece outfit in OotS style.

The yellow is supposed to be a vest, not really part of a shirt.

[Mando Knight]

It may be the head as well.

1.) The arms are a touch short.
2.) The head needs to sit on top of the body, not in front of it. The arc of the head between the shoulders should not be more than 90 degrees.
3.) Scooch the mouth down a touch. As is, the head looks like it has more chin than John Kerry.

[John Cribati]

Alright, I made the vest into a Short-sleeve jacket and put the head higher.
So... Green or Yellow Jacket?

[Blue Ghost]

I prefer the green.

[AlterForm]

+1 for the Green. Also, see if you can add the PokeLazer effect from the 'mon jumping out of its ball. Just...'cuz.

[Nageto004]

Ya green looks better.

[CrimsonAngel]

I'll save you some time and give you the source file.

wowzers, can you teach me how to post source files maybe via PM?

[AlterForm]

Since I've received a couple requests for this via PM as well, I'll post it here.

I use Dropbox*, a utility that automatically shares your files across any computer you install it on, as well as a copy to the Dropbox website. It comes with something called a "Public" folder, which allows you to create a link to any file added to it. It's great for instant image "hosting" and rapid filesharing.

*Disclosure: This is a referral link. Registering for Dropbox via it will give me an extra 250 MB of storage. Just felt I should mention that.

Y'know what else works? Windows Live. No kidding, it's got 25 GB of free storage for its users on its Sky Drive system.

[Je dit Viola]

A'ight. Since Finals is over, I decided to make an avatar with my avatar in it.

However, I can't decide whether I want to reveal it now, or if I should save it as a surprise for Pokémon Week.

[Recaiden]

I'm deciding between these.



Because that Riachu of mine was horrible.

[ScottishDragon]

Trainer+Umbreon is alot better than just umbreon.

[Je dit Viola]

I think they're both really cute.


Edited:
I've decided that I want some criticism on tracing, since I can still only draw.

[Blue Ghost]

I agree, Rec's Umbreon is really cute.
Your trace looks pretty good, but the details are too small. It strains my eyes.

[Serpentine]

I recommend not tracing, and instead reinterpreting it in oots style.

[Je dit Viola]

Well, of course. I was going to do that later, when I had more time.

[Serpentine]

Ah, fair enough. In that case... I dunno. Maybe do a bigger version.
