SilentJoe's Pokemon Drawings

[SeriousJupiter]

I suddenly feel blessed... I have a computer that works...

[SilentJoe]

UPDATE: I got a new computer! I've been using my iPhone to post in PM-X, not the best thing to do..
But anyways, I'm on the new computer and yes, it can upload. But the sad thing is, I lost all of my work in the other computer including the new drawing..sadly.

My uncle is coming next week to install PhotoShop. The picture WILL come. I CAN'T promise you when. But I'm pretty sure it will be here around Valentine's Day, depending on when my uncle comes and how fast I can draw the picture.

For now Enjoy this:
It's a mini-comic I made using Paint with D/P character sprites, Emerald background, and PMD Espeon sprites. I know mixing different generation sprites isn't good but I just gave it a try to see how it would look.

It's my first sprite comic so I know there are alot of flaws. I will not post anymore unless people request me to, and from there I might start my own Sprite Thread since they can't be posted here. What do you think?

Enjoy!

that is great also, where did you get your new avatar?

[SilentJoe]

Thanks! If you ever need an avatar, I HIGHLY recommend DevianArt. Theres where I have been getting my recent Avatars. Theres where I found the Cubone one too.
deviantart.com - Just a quicklink
;D

[swimming95]

do you mean deviant art or devian art? I am having a hard time navigating that site (which is devian art)

[SilentJoe]

Oh I'm so sorry. I meant Deviant Art.

Yeah, bitmixing isn't too great. Try and make the panels the same size, so you don't leave a white background. Make sure your speechbubbles have outlines, and maybe rounded. But for your first comic, it was a decent effort. If I still had it, I'd show you my first ever comic page I made. it was diabolical.

[SeriousJupiter]

You really are a sprite expert, Lukas. *bows*

I like the comic. And I'm happy to hear you got a new computer, Joe.

[SilentJoe]

Yes indeed you are Lukas. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind. And is it ok if I use PMD Pokemon sprites for the battles? Kind of like what Recon does.

[cbiesra]

Yes, in fact, it's looked up apon to use PMD and Ranger sprites for battles, or even when out of battle.

The comic was very good for your first attempt. YOu know what I think about bit-mixing but I also understand that you couldn't find DP backgrounds. I like the fact you used actual speech bubbles, but the bubble tails aren't so great. You may want to resize Espeon in the panel where it's standing by Cyrus.
Good job overall.

[SilentJoe]

Thanks. So you think if I use Emerald backgrounds I should stick to Emerald character sprites?
Yea I tried to resize Espeon but that was as small as it could get without looking very very blurry. Trust me, it looked bad.

And about the speech bubbles. I'll make them round instead of square and I'll also add an outline so it wont look to attached to the background.

I love that comic, but how'd you get the island for deoxys?

[SilentJoe]

I looked around for it. I can't remember exactly where though...
EDIT: Never mind I found the link:

go here for them.

[cbiesra]

Yeah, if you're going to use Emerald backgrounds, then use RSE sprites. FRLG sprites would also work, but not as good as RSE.
