scyther_girl's (not) fakemon

[scyther_girl]

I'm working on game for training monsters, similar to the pokemon concept.
this place has a lot of fake pokemon/other monsters topics, so It's the perfect place to get feedback.
I'm almost ashamed to show mine, after seeing some of the fakemon here.. oh well.

Here's what I got so far-

1.Likity, thunder type. I think I'll make it the game's mascot.

2.Soalphin, water/Air. special monster, obtained by combining 2 other monsters.

3.Snorus, Ice.

4.Sleepop, grass

5.Teh-oh-so-cute Chompil. (I love this guy)

6.Abystar. or maybe startiny. gosh, I'm bad with names. water/light

7.Agrunt. the agressive ant grunt. fear it. dark/fighter type.

7.Andier. dark/fighter type.

8.thonebiii. one of Chompil's evos. (my monsters will have 3-4 possible evos each)

9.voltine, one of Likity's evos. thunder.

10.panton. legendary dark type.

11.phyrolf. fire

12.Ferace. one of Likity's evos. fire/thunder

13.serenit. sonic type. has no eyes or ears. it finds its way by sensing the vibrations of water or air.

14. in game sprites:

^ sipup, Likity, Musprin, Doliny, Furifur.

Edit:
15. Furn (the new furifur+a new name)

post your thoughts on them, please!

Personally, I'd try to deviate a bit more from the Pokémon concept, or else people might think its just an imitation and ignore it. As far as I can tell, you pretty much stick to the original Pokémon theme, right down to the Electric type mascot. XD

I just think you might get into trouble...

 

[mangaeyes]

I tried an idea like this and your welcome to use it. It was were each person had only 1 monster and they could talk and they would battle them in duels like a contest. Of corse you didn't have to but it was what was usually done. They could each transform into a stronger version but only 2 versions not like digivolution or evolution.

Its a lot like pokemon or digimon but I was only about 9 lol. Your pictures are good and my favourite is Thoneby. Your monsters look a lot like already existing pokemon. For example Snorus looks like Walrein and Seepop looks like lileep. Just keep practicing the drawing your really good at it!

I'll also agree with Neko, your idea is A LOT like Pokemon but then again it is really hard to find an idea thats completely original...I think its actually impossible. Anyway if you make it different enough it could work and I doubt that you will get sued for it as its on a little fan website and its only for fun, right?

Double post sorry

if by 'pokemon theme' you mean: training cute pet monsters, and evolving them. then you're right. but then, Digimon is also 'pokemon theme'.
my monsters can talk, they evolve by absorbing their enemy's energy, and have 3-4 evolutions which depends on the type of energy they collected. they're mutants created when an astroid hit earth. they have a social system, beliefs, and can say more than 'pika pika'. so don't worry, they're NOT pokemon.
you're right about the mascot,I never thought of that. it's a shame.. Likity is my fav monster so far. you see, it's the 1st one I created.

mangaeyes, thanks. I'm suprised you like thoneby most.. I expected people to fav the dolphin or the fox, but hey everyone has his own taste!
however.. I have to disagree about:

Your monsters look a lot like already existing pokemon.

I've posted my monsters in many forums and it's a common statement.
our mind is an awesome machine. when you say 'Walrein', you assosiate it with walrus. my "Snorus" looks like walrus, so you say: Snorus looks like walrus. please, take a closer look:

they share the basic body shape, nothing more.

 

[stardust]

They are all spectacular drawings.

Likity seems like Skitty without any charisma to me. The globular body, tentacle-like ears, and thick tail don't strike me as being cute... I'd suggest changing the ears and slimming its body a little.

Also, Phyrolf and Furifur (I'm assuming they're related) don't seem to be very fiery at all. They're just a fox/shaggy wolf - spice it up a little!

Oddly enough, I like the Snorus the best, I'd like to see it colored.

 

[Pokéfreak 3000]

I like you drawings, I have only one coment:
It seems like Phyrolf is missing two of its legs.

 

[scyther_girl]

thanks or the fedback, guy. ^^

Likity seems like Skitty without any charisma to me.

likity is the only one I see as 'finished' so I won't be touching it.

Phyrolf and Furifur (I'm assuming they're related) don't seem to be very fiery at all. They're just a fox/shaggy wolf - spice it up a little!

I will try. I have a problem with fire types.. how can I make a monster look like 'fire' ? from what I see, people will simply make it red ,or make fire tail/ fire mane.
I dislike the last method, cause I imagine that monster to live in a forest/field.. but it'll burn them into a waste land in no time. I think it isn't realistic to have such monster.

It seems like Phyrolf is missing two of its legs.

lol. how could I miss that? oh well, I need to re design it.

 

[scyther_girl]

does this look more like fire type?

 

[Ket Shi]

Yeah, that's more fiery. Fire-based creatures usually come in two flavors:
- Flames actually spouting out of the body
- Body vaguely flame-like, with jagged fire-like patterns or features, colored with bright oranges, reds, and yellows

Before, Furifur (I believe that's him) just looked like a red fox. Now he looks more like a Fire-based creature.

can i be harsh? here i go.
apart form chompil, these fakemons are really forgettable.
i can get 2 flaws that makes them that way.
1) all of the fakemons looks like actual animals. i'm not saying that they shouldn't. but there is nothing extra to catch the eye, or attention.
2) try to add pupils to some of them. or, make the eyes darker so that they have a 'soul'. it does makes a difference. trust me.
---
anyways. keep exploring on more possibilities. there are not a lot of fakemons here, but too many of them are felines. it's obvious that you like cats. but do make a diferences in them so that the whole lot looks interesting.

 

[scyther_girl]

thank you. I'll work on the eyes.
about felines.. well, every monster has 3-4 possible evolutions (like eevee). those are likity, 2 possible evolutions, and a legendary that happens to be a panter. I don't feel it's too much. but then again, I do love felines. ^^

 

[khots]

XD. quite obviously you do.
we'll see them when they're evolved. XD. that's what i always said when i was pushing for my basic 50.
anyways. make sure you put variety on them. in pokemon, we can see quite different felines, 'eeveeons', big lengendary cats, standing meowth types, cute skitty etc. so what i mean was they don't have to all stand on 4feet, and share the same body construction.

 

[Hotshot]

These are pretty well drawn, but I agree with others here that they resemble Pokemon a little too much.

Digimon is also 'pokemon theme'.

This is a common misconception. Digimon came before Pokemon. Just so you know.

Yeah you tell 'em Hotshot!

From what I've read, Digimon was made in 1997 and Pokémon in 1995. If this is right, Pokémon came before Digimon. My source is Wikipedia if you want to know where I got this from.

 

[scyther_girl]

um, guys.. I said
"if by 'pokemon theme' you mean: training cute pet monsters.. Digimon is also 'pokemon theme'."

anyway, digimon & pokemon are very diferent, I don't think one copied the other.

Wikipedia. Anyone can edit that information. Plus, Digimon was made way before that as a Tamagotchi. Check your facts.

It said that Digimon was made in 1997 as a Tamagotchi. But whatever, you can't trust Wikipedia very much because of the reason you said. So I think I have to believe you
