That's freakin' amazing. I, personally, think the arms should be slimmer, but it's your poke, so who am I to judge.Well, I've been hacking away at it, and I must say, I could've done worse. I'm not too good with sprites, and I had to do a lot of the parts from scratch. Anyways, I'm currently working on the wings as we speak, but I thought that I'd give you guys a look at my progress...
And here's a second pose.
I am working on a 3rd model, one that's resembles the example pic on the first page, but I thought I'd share these for now. Oh, and when I have them all done, I'll do each of the male and female sprites with and without the icicle claws, to see which you guys prefer.
Same.I don't really like the first pose. The second pose is imo much better since it's floating, and I like floaty stuff. Still awesome, though.
Both of those are fantastic! The arms are a little big, but the details are wonderful! After working on a sprite version of this, I can appreciate how hard it is to get all the little touches in. 80 pixels square is so little room. Good luck on the rest of it. I can't wait to see how it turns out!Well, I've been hacking away at it, and I must say, I could've done worse. I'm not too good with sprites, and I had to do a lot of the parts from scratch.

EDIT: Just saw DJD's sprite. Very good job, especially on the wings. They're a bitch :P
That's an awesome oldschool RBY style sprite.I took doug's outline a few pages back and recolored some of it scrathched it better claws and did a few other touch ups not as good as vishen's but I was never good a scratching
If he made the arms from scratch, but they still draw the conclusion that they were taken from Metang, then what's the difference from taking them directly from Metang? This pokemon deserves to look original.Cyzir made the damn thing from scratch so get the man a freaking break and you know who I'm referring to.
But it's arm already did look like Metang's arm, have you not noticed that when looking at the original picture. It just look like someone grab a buffer and buff them out for him. Either way you look at it it still have that Metang arm feel to it.If he made the arms from scratch, but they still draw the conclusion that they were taken from Metang, then what's the difference from taking them directly from Metang?

I'm really not seeing how "this is a bug with icy wings" = "It can zap things with electricity!" Please enlighten me. If Ice types are so proficient at electric moves why Weavile doesn't even get Thunderpunch, Articuno isn't boltbeaming anything, Cloyster isn't launching thunderbolts either, despite its spiky carapace and horns theoretically being perfect for it.Also, I understand the no Thunder/Thunderbolt/Charge Beam movement, but this thing is more likely to use Electricity than Lapras. Can we compromise with Zap Cannon and Thunder Punch? Zap Cannon only gets 65% accuracy under Compound Eyes, worse than Thunder without the ability. It's weaker than Thunder and if it misses, this guy is dead. I just can't see us not giving an Electric move to a design so capable of generating Electricity.
I don't see anyway this thing will be using Stone Edge, or any Fire moves for that matter. They are just the opposite of this Pokemon design. Earthquake on the other hand might work, but is it heavy enough to cause one?
Or, more realistically, Ralts gets Tbolt. Gallade just happens to be a physically oriented offshoot for a primarily special pokemon. It's Gardevior with swapped base offensive stats. Moreover, being forced to use HP Electric is pretty much the idea behing not giving this Thunderbolt/Thunder. It might take out Gyara (yeah, hard target to kill with Elec there), but it won't take out Skarmory and won't chew up half of, lets say Arcanine's HP. Giving it Tbolt gives it room to free up Hidden Power for something else (Fighting perhaps for those who don't like Focus Blast's sketchy accuracy, or even Grass to deal with Swampy.)Hit4three said:So lets keep in mind that it will get a boltbeam-esque combo, and that is certainly enough to take out Gyara. Also, GALLADE gets TBolt!
Because everyone doesn't want it to have the ability to counter Gyara and Skarm as easily as that.Why can't it just get Thunderpunch???
Agreed, if tangrowth can have shock wave, he can too, He also has hp[electric] to fall back on.Hm...
just give it Shock Wave as a TM.
I love this pose. I can see it zooming around like its on a unicyce.
