I'm going to move this to the contest folder. As a pose cannot be copyrighted it should be okay. However, if this is traced, or stock was used from Nintendo's game line, it cannot be accepted into the contest. Discussed with Corrupt Light, and we couldn't figure out any Pokemon the body parts were copied from at the moment.

Unfortunately, there are several pieces from the official Mewtwo sprite(I believe from B/W) that I used for the template of the arms, hands, head, and feet that were shaved back to what I imagined bones should be, and then tweaked through comparison to bones in other official sprites(Cubone, for example) for shading and colors. The ribcage's overall shape initially came from a modified Haxorus' chest recolored and lined up with the modified head, and then overlaid with hand-pixeled details to erase it. The spine, tail, and left femur are the only other aspects hand-pixeled rather than borrowed from existing bones or templates.
If you'd like a clearer explanation, I can upload and note you the spriting process, since I always make copies after every few changes along the way from start to finish, but either way this is against the rules you guys are using. I appreciate your time, though.
