Crystal Clair's region and sprites

Yes, I'm a spriter too. You can say I'm very versatile.
Well. I've been spriting for over three years so I'm an experienced spriter.
Here are some of my trainer sprites, including backsprites, other kinds and OMG a tutorial!

I have templates for most of my sprites so I can whip them up in one two three but I dont take requests because I'm busy as it is.
And you can use any of the backsprites as long as you give credit to me. And maybe one day I'll do every character from Pokemon

------------------------------
Not only have I been spriting but I have also taken on a project.
The Marana region
This region's earliest form was first sketched in late 2002 and has made it up to an actual, fully fleshed out region.

That means that this region isn't just another fanregion of some random spriter, this region has been around many years but needed to develop.

And I bring you the region's gyms, the first one in beta form and the last one's not even a gym o_O

I make them mostly from scratch or I just add on what I've previously made from older buildings.

I treat the Marana region as a fangame and even write the "scripts" just incase maybe the future brings an easier game maker. But this region has a deep story, many twists and a Team Rocket that isn't quite as evil.

On the island in the eastern end of the region known as Mandarin town, there were four kids, Melissa, Aspen, Jerry and Dominique. Each kid was completely different from each other but they all had a relationship somehow. Aspen and Jerry being the regular Joe and Joline, Melissa being the tough tomboy with the love of nature and Dominique being the feminine mother's boy who had a thing for flowers and romance (he's bisexual).
Aspen's mother is the professor of the town and the head of the Mandarin town ranch where Pokemon are raised.

These trainers finally decide to get their Pokemon from the professor. And eventually they set out across the beautiful region of Marana. But it turns out the Pokemon league, Marana's only one was shut down due to rioting and violence. But fortunately Melissa's father is currently helping another town set up the region's league. Until then these four children must navigate through the deeply forested region, discover secret towns, traditional civilizations and try to be the best they can be.

The list of gymleaders will come soon (hopefully)
The gyms from left to right
the electric gym
the water gym
the light gym (I added this type to the region's Pokemon data
the grass gym
and the fire gym

They're all very good, especially the buildings! The only problem I have is on almost all of the Trainer sprites, the outline is too light. Try making it a few shades darker. They're still wonderful, though, and I can't wait to see more. ^_^

So you are going to ROM hack this?
Naw, I suck at rom-hacking and I want to make my game as original as I can.

Nice job Only problem i have is with the Clair next to the naked & the naked dude Just the coloring looks werid other than that Excellent job
Oh, that was just the base color.

I know, I have that problem a lot. I dont like to use really dark outlines, I dont like the flat look they can give.

OMG, that is such a super reigon and sprites! Take suggestions? Try your own pokemart, pokemon center, and gym! I think I'm going to faint at the wonders of these sprites!!!

Actually believe it or not, those buildings I posted are the gyms. I just made them to suit their element. I did a Pokemon center at school but it's on my memory stick and I lost it.
Edit: here's a map of one of the towns. It still has to be redone in the custom graphics

i just wanted to ask and rate they look good and can you pm me some of your templates
 
Not bad! A few sprits look weird... but great shading. ^^ The backsides of trainers look great, and the buildings look awesome. Great job! ^^

Phooey. Can you do another one?
Sometime I'll get around to do it. But that'll be once I get my default tileset COMPLETELY done. It's 3/10 done but I could easily whip the rest up.

I can make them into a ROM though. That will be kewl.
Yeah, but I want to make some things custom in the game like a few secret places with a type of environment that hasn't been programmed into any Pokemon game.

Actually, those are some of the templates. The backsprite and the large trainer are there.

Here's a map of the town called Crystal Cove. It's a beach resort town and I worked very hard on it (also has to be redone). As much as I hate to admit it, I have 0 completely finished maps. But I have dedicated myself completely to this region and will not move on until this region is gleaming with full maps and events.

Your custom sprites are awesome. o_o
I wish I could do them like you.
I like your style, you should make a sheet for SPPF's Spriting Resource Thread. xP

The only way my "game" could be made into a rom is if you could modify nearly everything. I may even want to do some of my own custom music. Someone I know says they have a good program for making music.
My Pokemart's done

and here is a map that is 99.99% complete including custom tiles


My inspiration to do custom tiles and graphics come from a spriter named Kyledove who I think is a member here and the people at Pokemon Treasures. They make me look like an amateur they're so good.
And you guys have actually motivated me to go over what I need to get done.
A thread at SPPf was such a good idea!

WOW...can I use those? the pokemon center and pokemart?
Absolutely! Just give credit. I'm very laid-back on that because nothing bad has happened to me like sprite theft and I may even do a tileset for mappers here so I could see something else than the RS FRLG sprites. (it gets redundant after a while)
