Halloween

tis the the first challenge i'll follow, so imma look forward your progress. rip fern in this one, haha. have a fimbul run & godspeed

How does one go from "Matt" to "Oxi"? Big warm welcome!

guys. guys. and gals too for that matter, look at me being inclusive. Iggy Pop is good again, and damn when Iggy is good, there's just no one better. The first lines gave me chills; "This house, is as slick as a senator statement This job is a masquerade of recreation" enjoy on your own risk. Thank you Shing for teaching me how to post videos, let's hope this works

it's ok... i surrender... they can have me

holly molly this is super fucking great. especially the personality you put into everything; look at them expressions! would that garchomp propose to me i'd probably be in jail isn't that bestiality?? ew be floored. anyway i do have sum criticism so time for Proper Capitalization of Letters™ to show how serious i am. The lighting on the Scizor; it looks like there's several small light sources that somehow only hit one point of its body in really sharp speculars, sometimes in the middle of parts that's otherwise in shadow, which drives me crazy. I'd also want some specular on the wings, perhaps not as sharp. I love the light from his chest core seeping upwards between the chest plates; not a big fan of the chest plates themselves. The entire armor is super fucking badass, but since the chest plates are red on a black background, along with the hourglass figure it has going on, it looks like bikini armor. And tits on otherwise sexless arthropod warriors isn't really a flattering look. The jaw blends into the neck a little too well too, otherwise, man, I fucking love this drawing. a+ borat thumps up And for my favorite of your drawings, the Latios. The pose is fucking great, I cannot believe how you nailed the wings, they should hire you to crucify the next jesus with stills like that. However, his shoulder area... His neck doesn't look broken, it looks like it's attached to permanently look left. I think it's a combination between how the throat skin looks like it's connecting to the side of his jaw rather than his chin, and the wing turf that looks like it's part of his neck. I also get the impression that his wings connect both to his wishbone and shoulders; that shit would snap his wishbone faster than he could mega evolve. If you're serious about this stuff, which I will literally cry if you aren't 'cause super skill, I recommend doing some muscle studies and checking out Terryl Witlatch (https://imaginationinternationalinc.com/creatures-of-amalthea/), she's great at this stuff. I have some dvd rips from her I could wetransfer too if you like her. Oh, and a friend of mine, George Brad, also the kind of person that makes me wanna just draw 24/7 just to catch up, does really great muscle studies if you're looking for inspo someday (http://georgebrad.blogspot.se/) The back half checks out and looks balls, arms... I feel like his claws should be more parted to hold the mega ball, but that's just nitpicking. This is one of my fave realistic Pokémon drawings. you rule. you rule so much man.

I'm a big fan of "who wants to be such an asshole" Bukowski. “Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I'll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities.” “Find what you love and let it kill you.”

shiny in more ways than one I see, that icon has more highlighter than Kim Kardashian's entire face. I love it with all magpie-y soul. welcome here! I vote Ghost, because ghost Pokémon are the best Pokémon and just imagine what Golurk would do to Julia's team. He'd be like, "I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL" Chromatique is such an awesome word. party hard with your monorun

Man you're so pro at taking criticism, super kudos @ that one society progress sentence, it isn't the message that's confusing, it's the wording. It's like... It's two questions in one, ya know? So happy to hear about Cain thou, he's my fave too. It's like, I look at myself and I think "all these fucking kickass independent women and he's the one you like?", but the heart wants what the heart wants ♥ And I feel you about Fern. I'm writing Reborn fic as well, and it's like... Should I write him as the irredeemable douchelord assberry he is, or should I try to make him sympathetic somehow? I need to finish the game soon, so I'll know if he gains any decency. Looking forward the next installment!

hells fucking yes. My Rattata took a small loan from his father and then he made himself; yachts, walls, boybands. my Rattata is dating a 21-year old Lopunny. my rattata lives in a mansion and wipes his ass with stardust. he's also a serial killer but we don't talk about that

'Ello. Hope it's not too late for this; I enjoyed your short and thought I should give you some thoughts on it. First of all aaaahhhh post-apocalyptic warrior girls are my faves gimme more gimme more. Out of 16 paragraphs, some only a sentence long, 7 started with "she". While sentences starting with "she" will, quite naturally, occur frequently, in the beginning it was nearly every sentence, which... Yeah, you know where I'm going with this. "It was almost time…" for what? Haven't filled out your daily get-attacked quota? And then the alcohol. I know I'm reading into this now, but the combination of her being in some kind of post-apocalyptic ruin, her lack of shower access and all... I just got the impression that drinkable water would be scarce. So why the hell is she drinking alcohol? Shit's dehydrating as hell yo. Think of your skin girl. I liked the creature description thou! Got a clear idea of what they looked like without going into too much detail. The only confusion is that she seemed to know what they were from the start, and yet referred to them as "creatures" several times before she named them. Finally, I think the last two sentences really made the fic. They were both really really good.

!! This is BETTER. You go! Yeah, they look much more consistent. Good going. Time to catch sum shinies!

ayyeeee gurl! I hope you do want criticism, otherwise, well, tell me? gold is quite possibly my favorite color so the Iggly line makes me a happy camper. And heterochromia is amezeballs. Think you wanna decrease the contrast between the two outline colors though - either make the lighter one darker, or make the black one lighter, or... Both? The dark yellow outline blends in really well with them and the black one is such a stark contrast in comparison - especially noticeable with Igglybuff's black eye and Jigglypuff's hair curl there. And also maaybe tone down Wigglytuff's eyes? I don't know why, but they seem really glaring, somehow? Jigglypuff especially looks really great thou ლ(ↂ‿‿ↂლ)

@genesis i wanna buy like 7 wows. woah there mind your language, I'm not definitely crazy nuh-uh. It's called "differently normal" @what the fick is up with the unspellable names here i struggle with "restaurant" don't do this shit to me so where do i collect my $2000?

MUCH better, it looks much fluffier and nicer! And even more like Kyubey, which I assume was the intention from the Reborn staff. It's face even looks... Spacier. A+ Halloween approved

taco is love, taco is life

You're the best. The best is you. You should open a sprite shop in the radio tower rather than making new threads here I think thou, but I'm new here too so what the hell do I know. Nothing, that is. Jon Snow's got nothing on me. I love the new look; especially how you made the pupil rounder, it makes it look more like Espurr. I think the contrast is a bit to sharp on the shiny one though, you feel me? It kinda looks like the outline is actually darker on the shiny version, which is otherwise lighter, and the shadow is so sharp that it almost looks like it's part of it's pattern. I think a good idea would be to not make the base pure white to start with, look at the sprites for some white Pokémons in the game and see how they're shaded. Bulbapedia has a list of Pokémon by color, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_color

Okiedokie, inspired by a certain excellent thread on writing critism, I decided to give it a go. And to start it off, I will parrot everything Code: PIRULUK (what a fucking awesome name) said. It does bother me a bit that it is script format... And yet isn't script format. Script format is harder to read to begin with than a regularly formatted story, so I do think you should take it all the way if you wanna to stick with it. Secondly... I think you should go back and edit the the earlier posts as well to make the text smaller. I had to copy this entire thing into Evernote and then manually cut away all dates and usernames that came with it, and god knows I don't like to put effort into anything. It'd be for your own sake too; you haven't gotten that many reviews, and I absolutely believe that is partly because people look at your story and think "WOAH there I can't read this." Then, onto the actual reviewing. Some of these things are just what went through my head reading this, rather than things you need to change thou. First paragraph; it's campy. I love campy. Keep it mostly intact, but mind that Pokémon is spelled, well, Pokémon, capital letter and apostrophe above the e. Also, this sentence was confusing to me, but that might just be my lack of caffeine. "As the societies progress, questions find themselves at the forefront of conversation “do we treat pokemon properly” or what should we expect of pokemon." First paragraph ends with "This is the story of Justin Wayland". Second paragraph ends with "This is his story". I say give both these sentences a weapon each and unleash them on a small island - only one can survive. All Pokémon species should be capitalized too, see: Cacnea. The man is Justin Wayland a normally upbeat individual focused mainly on the moment rather than stressing the “will be’s”. Commas are awesome, just saying. "Next to him is a man wearing a black trench coat and matching fedora." sounds like the kind of dude that you don't want near playgrounds. I love the dialogue, Justin is hilarious. "There are more than just challenges to be considered here. I can take you home before such dangers present themselves." You're going through the desert in a trench coat. The guy beside you is wearing a t-shirt. You just offered to "take him home". The only danger here is you. "Justin (inching closer to the entity)" NO Justin step away from him!! "Great. Then I’m safe." NNoooo "places a pokeball on his lap" HANDS OFF LAP Julia DID YOU SEE THE BOOMIE Justin My clothes are burnt miss, so yes. I most certainly did see the boomie. Please tell me you aren’t an EMT. Julia (shaking Justin while smiling) NOPE. I’m a gym leader! Justin That’s actually far more unsettling. I love this guy. Justin for president. "You got boomied bad." Okay, as much as Julia does love her explosions, and does to some extent talk like this, she's starting to sound like a pre-schooler, so maybe tune it down a lil bit? "The league runner who invited you here." Manager. Ame is a bit iffy too, but I haven't seen enough of her in the game to comment on it, so keep at it. "Shade." Huh. I didn't think it was Shade 'cause he spoke in such concrete sentences and wasn't floating. "Freaking out rarely solves problem. I’m no genius but even I can figure that out. At the very least even if I can’t fight them, I should know who to avoid right?" Super douchy sentence, he sounds patronizing. That might be what you're going for, but I like Justin, so it bother me, haha. "Hi, I’d like one pokeman please." Like he's at a fucking drug store, go J. "Victoria Hello, I’m Victoria." I mean, sure, I got that that was Viktoria, but there for a non-Reborn reader, you might wanna draw a stronger connection between the woman in kimono and her saying this line. "Only person with a last name around here." HAH. "Justin begins laughing hysterically and his laugh can be heard all throughout the grand hall." This just sounds... Unhinged. "That’s the one that becomes the kick-boxing chicken right?" Uh-huh no mentions of real life animals. "As Justin screams unintelligibly the torchic chirps along with him as the two are clearly screaming in approval of each other." The last sentences of Justin are sounding very... Comic-like, screaming and laughing hysterically for several lines which sort of takes a away from the tone of it all. Cain Sorry to hear that. I’ll see you around new best buddy. Ooookay. This sentence. I'm wary. On one hand, it isn't that bad. I might just be reading into it. But it sounds a little bit like you just slapped a big fat "no homo, bro" on Cain, and that's sorta rubbing me the wrong way. "It’s a pokepokegear. Pretty much lets you speak into it and shows me in text and vice versa. When you get good with the language and evolve to have hands then you can type into it and boom we can fight without ever saying a word. Helpful since announcing “Blaze use fireblast” generally gets people on the defensive. So…. Lets get to it." I have a hard time with gimmicks like this; they always show up, and they rarely contribute with anything else than making the protag super special. Also, you're just gonna write during a battle? Seriously? And the Pokémon too? Uhm, moving on, I guess. "She’s probably a fire type so it should be easy for you." A guy so strategy-focused can't bother to look up the first gym leaders type, even though her gym is the biggest building in the city? Hm. Also, fire vs fire doesn't exactly equal easy, especially if she has six Pokémon and you have one. "Justin You’re buddy I’m guessing." ?? Shelly Hi… its um… nice to meet you… YASS my homegirl Shelly. So I guess that's it. I'm a little on the edge on his weird gear and the writing Torchic, but on the other hand, I love Justin as a character, he cracks me up. Can't wait for him to verbally trash Fern to smithereens. gg man.

Sanity discarded long ago; along with my matching socks.
