Description
My part of s Pokédex challenge.The Pokédex entry will be added as soon as it is finished. Not by me, there will be someone else to write it.
I was experimenting with coloured shadows and lighting. And I really like the pose. Tropius always seems to be a slow and sedate creature (on the ground), so I wanted to show a different side of it. After all it´s a flying type and as such it should have powerful wings and be a pretty versatile flyer.

Thank you.^^
It´s really just a speedpaint and pretty different to my usual style, though.

Then clearly I need to go through the rest of your stuff

Have fun doing so.XD
And thanks for the watch, I appreciate it!

Thanks.^^
It was one of my favourite grass type Pokémon when I first played the third generation of the games. I still like it, but don´t use it as much anymore thanks to other awesome grass types the fifth generation brought to us.:´D

I didn't played the 5th one, I stopped at the 4th ^^
My favourite is definitely the 3rd one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The third is my least favourite generation. I felt constantly trapped in the game because of the overworld design (don´t ask me what caused that specifically), I liked less than half of the Pokémon designs and the battle system (e.g. making ghost exclusively physical, dark and dragon completely special) was the most epic fail in Pokémon history ever. It made many good Pokémon practically unusable.
I really like the fourth gen and the fifth isn´t bad once you´ve actually played it.:>

I think I don't understand enough of English and "gaming" to know why you don't like teh 3rd, but it's ok, everybody has his reasons ^^
I like the 4th too by the way ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like the remakes of the red/blue versions they made and that were based on the third generation engine, though.:>
The fourth was my favourite so far, it actually had a decent story, good designs and a huge worldmap. Plus, a female champion that kicks ass.XD
The only thing I don´t like is the very small amount of fire types you can catch before getting the national dex.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree for the female champion ! ^^ but isn't the story always the same ? Or with only a few details changing ?
And you're totally right for the fire type pokemons ! The starter and the pony... We felt the lack of them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most of the times only the name and goal of the opposing 'Team' changes, but here the leader had his very own, hidden agenda. I kind of liked him. He knew about genetics.°A°
Especially if you play a nuzlocke and lose your fire starter. Like me, two levels before he would have fully evolved.^^'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes yoy're right
I didn't knew what was "Nuzlocke" was... Now I know a bit more, I'm kinda the same player, but not that drastic tough ^^
But I don't get why would you "lose" a pokemon...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It´s really just a made up rule to make the game more difficult and strenghten the relationship with your pokémon. Whenever one faints, it is considered dead and you are not allowed to use it anymore. It´s really heartbreaking when you build up a team and lose part of it because of a selfdestructing koffing or some odd critical hit.
Some players go as far as making a comic out of their nuzlocke games. Two really good ones are the black/white nuzlocke of *ky-nim and the ruby/sapphire nuzlocke of *Mewitti .

Ok... Wow, it must be really hard, even if I never let a pokemon be KO because "hate" it, it's probably way too hard for me ^^
Thanks a lot for the links, I'm checking it !

Reloading/redoing a match is forbidden, so the death of a Pokémon is final and sometimes unavoidable. It can happen that you have to sacrifice one in order to save the rest of the team. Because of that your team often isn´t stronger than that of your enemies levelwise. You just don´t have the time and nerves to really train up new members, even if it would be the smarter way of doing things.^^'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definitely, too hard for me ^^'
But what I like doing is make a complete team at the beguinning of the game, with pokemons I choose on my brother's game, at level 3, and I do all the game with them.
And I end up with my six pokemons and 3 or 4 in the computer ^^

It´s not for everyone, but I think it´s a nice way to make the games more interesting.
I was like that, too. But then the games got more and more boring. I like a challenge once in a while.C:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But you know, you convinced me, I'm gonna give it a try, as I have a spare game ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome.^^
I wish you good luck for your nuzlocke run.

Thank you ! (she said, a bit doubtful) haha

A Nuzlocke is mostly about luck. I even lost a challenge before it really started once, because my rival killed my starter in the very first fight due to two critical hits he made in a row. It can be frustrating, but it´s also lots of fun to play like that.XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure I must have been frustrating x)
I'll tell about it to my brother too, he's a better player than me ^^

With wings like those, it's no surprise Tropius can make long trips across oceans from island to island.

It would be amazing to see a whole swarm of them doing that.XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It really would be amazing. ^_^

Ich mag Tropius unglaublich gern, auch wenn ich es nie mit den Flug-Typ verbinden konnte xD aber hier sieht es ziemlich plausibel aus, scheint doch ein guter Flieger zu sein
Jedenfalls mag ich die Dynamik im Bild, aber vor allem diesen Gegenlicht-Effekt mit den dunklen Schatten x)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ich wollte schon ewig mal wieder mit Gegenlicht arbeiten. Bei vielen Bildern bietet es sich nicht an... jedenfalls nicht in dem Maße, wie ich es gern hätte.XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Irgendwann find ich den Mut zum Schatten und probier das auch mal xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm~
Vielleicht solltest du gleich alles mit einer Multiply-Ebene dunkler machen und dann mit dem Radierer arbeiten, um den Grundton an den beleuchteten Flächen wiederherzustellen. Danach noch Highlights setzen und ein bissl Farbvarianz mit Overlay-Ebenen... fertig.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, okay, diese Arbeitsweise klingt gar nicht mal so kompliziert xD wird vorgemerkt, danke
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So ist es leichter, tiefe Schatten zu setzen. Und wenn du dir am Ende doch unsicher bist, schraubst du einfach die Deckkraft der Schattenebene zurück.

ich mag die Druckwelle auf der Wiese *_*
Ja, natürlich ist das Pokémon auch toll, aber mich fasziniert grad noch mehr, wie stark der Hintergrund ist ohne dass er totgearbeitet und überladen sein muss XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Am Hintergrund saß ich noch nicht eimal 10 Minuten.
Scheinbar gelingen mir die nur, wenn ich mir keine richtige Mühe damit gebe.*lach*

Ein experimentelles Speedpaint. Ich denke der Stil eignet sich gut für einfache Motive wie Pokémon.

Tropius <3 Und zum ersten Mal sehe ich es wirklich fliegend (wer zeichnet das auch schon? Und ingame sieht man das ja nicht), ist dir wirklich gelungen.
Ich sage mal, es ist "wenig Colo", aber vollkommen ausreichend, hat seinen Charme genau deswegen. Es passt und sieht super aus, vor allem Licht&Schatten, das ist dir wirklich gelungen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Danke sehr.^^
Tropius ist ja nicht umsonst ein Flugtyp. Leider scheinen das die Macher der Sprites in den Spielen und die meisten FanArt-Zeichner gern zu vergessen.D:
Ich wollte auf allzu viele Details verzichten, da ich nicht weiß inwieweit das Bild später noch verkleinert wird für den fertigen Dex. Und der HG sollte ebenfalls minimal sein. Praktisch, sonst wäre ich nie so schnell mit dem Bild fertig geworden.XD

Er war immer mein Flieger im Team, wenn ich ihn bei hatte <3
Jip 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ich liiiiiiiiebe Flugpokémon. Habe oft auch mehrere im Team. Es ist unheimlich praktisch, dass es keine reinen Flugtypen gibt, immer nur in Kombination mit anderen Elementen.<3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Doch, Taubsi und Habitak
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. Normaltyp mit dabei.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, dann haben sie das im Laufe der Editionen geändert.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. War schon immer so.XD
Es gab nie einen reinen Flugtyp.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay... Nya, wie auch immer ^^

Ich bin ein wandelnder Pokédex. Da hast du keine Chance.XD
