I'm not sure if I should post this. It's me as a Pokémon trainer. I'm planning on drawing my Pokémon that I catch in the Roleplay too. Well, at least the ones I like. Anyway, I decided to redo my character earlier this week. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm not sure how to describe it. It's sort of a pixel-over. I drew it by hand, then scanned it onto my computer. Then, I opened it in MS Paint, drew over the lines in black, converted it to a Monochrome Bitmap Image; then a 24-bit Bitmap Image. I fixed up the lines and coloured it in. It took a while but I finally finished it. Then I saved it as an PNG image, opened it in GIMP, made the background transparent and saved it again. Now, I finally have it. :] So, here it is. It's by no means perfect, the ear is a bit weird and there are a few other things that could've been better. Still, it's a huge improvement from my previous one. Here are the two together: Before (I drew this when I was 13-14. I coloured it last year.): After:

Awesome! That's actually pretty good and pretty faithful to the official artwork back in the day. Nice job on them. Sounds like a bit of a complicated process opening here, there and everywhere in all those applications though. Thanks for sharing, Andrew. Least we know the credit for those ones.

Thanks Joe. Yeah, it sounds horrible, but it's actually pretty easy after a while. I've gotten the hang of it at this stage. I'm decent enough at drawing anime style characters, but I'm hopeless at sprites and icons, as you can see with my avatar. I should probably get around to changing that actually.

I think your sprite looks pretty good actually. Certainly beats a lot of sprites i've seen out there. Anyways, here is a picture I was going to show Amalia in the cbox but decided to add it here to bulk out the thread some more: Gengar & Mismagius. Edit 1: I came across this image again today and I forgot just how much I loved it when I first found it. It's just... Superb. Like a legendary tapestry or something. Click.
