Pokemon Violet Sky Resources: Concept Sketches

(I hope you guys don't mind...)

Hey guys! I saw that there's already a thread for the music department, so I decided to add some concept sketches as well!

Protagonists:

Spoiler

Ignore the crap Mawile in the middle. XD I tried to avoid hats as much as possible, since I'm not really fond of them. But since it IS a tradition of all Pokémon games...maybe we should?

Pokémon Evolutions:

I understand that these are not really so great and junk, but hey, that's why they're concept sketches! They're subject to change...a lot. Please comment on what should be changed and stuff, if you don't like it, if you think it's too "meh"...whatever you feel like saying! Oh, and please post some of your concept sketches as well! We'll share stuff and ideas here!

 

I'm not sure if we can add the option to choose protags, though that would be cool. I just added options, so that people could pick what they liked most or something, before I go really deep into the design. Kinda like a base, so to speak.

That's one of the cute things I like about this rom hack. The team's trying to create a possible evolution for the stand alone mons. Maybe some pre-evos too, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you, dear! I might make a more detailed design of this little guy, maybe color him in. I rather like him as well. How cool would it be if you can see this bird slashing at his enemies all rurounin-like? Oooh! I really like that image!

Noted.

I'm planning to add some designs for the gym trainers as well in the coming weeks! I would really appreciate it if you guys pick a base for the protags, so that I can make a more detailed design. You guys know how funky trainer outfits can get. XD

 

Oooo! OK! I'll get to sketching them out in Sugimori style (I'll try!).

Oooh! I would really love this, if it isn't too much trouble. XD Kind like a pseudo-customization.

 

Oh yeah, do you guys want it to follow the Sugimori style or do you want me to use my own style to give the game some...uniqueness? I dunno. This is mainly because it's gonna be a little bit hard to copy someone else's style. I tried sketching it earlier and I'm not too happy with it. Oh yeah, since we're making this in the RPG maker thing, do you want me to make those art that you see when they talk...like this?



(yes, it's Rune Factory 4. XD I'm so excited for this, btw)

 

I think I'll stick with faces. They're easier when I add emotions on them. I hate those games where the face has one single emotion. Smiling when sad, smiling when angry, ugh! I hate it. It's not too much work to add emotions since there is a wonderful thing called layers.

Oh yeah, what is Cooper's gender? The gender in the story line keeps changing...Is Cooper the other main protag gender or a completely different character. Personally, I would like it if Cooper was completely different person so it would be easier to make his/her portrait in the dialogue box.

 

Here's a colored sketch of the protags. I'm not really happy with the colors, maybe you guys can comment on what you want? I tried to copy the original style...I don't really like what I did. I also tried stay true to the original series, using only reds, blues, whites, and blacks. Personally, I would want greens and yellows, maybe some orange, I dunno. I also tried to stay away from brown haired girls. The original series has way too much of that. I like the black haired one, since the redhead looks too much like Aria from Rune Factory 2 for my liking. Maybe you guys want blondes? Or maybe some green or blue hair?

And how do the starters look like? Maybe a little description, please?

I got carried away, sorry! If you don't like the colors, I can still edit this. This isn't official, just some fun for me. Someone asked how my style normally is. Well, here it is! It kinda looks like the original style...if I can get enough good feedback, I'll make one of the boy too! Of course, I'll make official art when the project is almost over, so that the style wouldn't change too much from the beginning to the end.
