I suddenly started thinking about a Thunderstorm weather effect a while ago. One idea led to another, and so:

The thunderbolt/tail bit isn't quite right, unfortunately...

I like the idea. The head seem to be too close to the front and should be more centered in the cloud.

Yeah, I'll try and fix that before I redo the tail.

---EDIT---

OK, here we go. Any better?

Macho man!
I think it looks really good but there isn't any noticeable differences between the two sprites you posted.

I think the top of its head is to bright. Maybe you shouldn't use the brightest shade there because it sticks out a lot.

Suggestion taken.

And if they both look the same, try clicking refresh - I had to do that too, because it still had the old one cached.

(Actually, even Refresh doesn't seem to work now... I'll put it at a different URL, you should be able to see it properly then:

Not many more things to find wrong with it. Looks cooler with 2 tails but I think the left thunderbolt should be longer. Longer than the other one but only by one Pixel and I won't be able to find much more after that:)

Yeah it looks good with two bolts, and the head centered.

I'm considering doing Windy or Fog forms next... though I don't have many ideas of what they could look like yet.

(Windy would probably be Flying; Fog, I'm not sure. Maybe Dark?)

Since Castform is angled, the left bolt should be a couple of pixels higher than the right one. When they're even like you have it, it makes the left one seem longer.

True. I'll try and tweak that now...

OK, done that. You'll probably have to refresh the image to see the difference, though. And I've taken a first shot at a Windy version, too.
