ooh! that sounds kind of pretty. I can't wait to see when it's done. (I could do a red and orange type deal.. but I haven't figured out how to sparkle yet).

For the sparks and such I'm using layer tricks in good old PS7. ;3 I love that software. ;3

These really look impressive, you are so good at concept art. I believe you have found a way to make pokemon-style sprites too, it is great seeing how many so-called pokemon artists can only do recoloring or splicing.

I cheated a bit on the sprite. ;3 You should see the ones that Orohnpokemon does for his fakes... *drools*

The sprite's a bit big.

I know, I'm going to try and fix it. Any suggestions? I don't scratch sprite very well. ^^;

depending on what program you use you could either redraw it on a small canvas or re-size it and go over it pixel by pixel.

I use Photoshop, so I can re-size it.

^.^ I really like your sprites, scratch spriteing is hard. Sometimes it's nice to merge pokemon sprites to get the ideas flowing first, I don't have any experince with photoshop, but most 5th gen pokemon sprites are 96x96 in size, (I just checked that out xD) sorry if this is a little late, and I don't really have much experence, but this is all I know that might help, so resize it to around that size ^^

It's not as hard as it looks. ;3 I've made doll bases before. ;3

Here's a new image of Adaantaan, I've finished the lines and started to color. I'll sprite it later on. ;3
