[Art: Spriting] Incineroar Overhaul (WIP! Crits wanted)

Recommended Posts

This little "project" is in anticipation of Episode 17 and how Litten and its evolutions will be added to the game. This is aimed at people that like Litten and Torracat but like me, can't stand Incineroar.

This is very much a WIP.

I've never sprited before. Any help and tips would be appreciated. 

This was made via Frankenspriting Raikou, Typholsion, and Zoroark. 

Inspiration

 

Thanks for Looking

As someone who doesn;t understand why people dislike incineroar because "It walks on two legs", I don't really think this is that great. It doesn;t have much in common with the rest of the line outside it being a fire cat and walking on 4 legs. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but I don't really think it's good

I don't dislike it for that reason, I dislike it because I honestly find it really ugly and I'm very, very tired of the fighter/wrestling theme.

It is a wip, I'll admit I'm not entirely satisfied, which is why I'm coming here for tips and assistance on how to improve it.

 

Be harsh if you want, in the end of the day, we are both entitled to our own preferences.

Just be happy Incineroar isn;t a fighting type as secondary typing I'd say. it was designed the way it was for a reason and if you ask me it looks good. Like I seriously don't understand why it would be a "bad" design. it's based on a Heel Wrestler, Tiger Mask to be more accurate. So OF COURSE, it will look like a fighter. Never look a given horse in its mouth

I... never said the design was bad? I said it wasn't to my taste and explained why I dislike it.

Litten itself wasn't based on that, it was a litteral fire kitten. Torracat was similar. Its only Incineraor itself that is based off a heel wrestler. The trailer featuring Torracat feels more of a hit in a jaw that wanted a quadruped fire starter. They didn't need to go with the heel wrestler direction at all. There has been drama over fire times since Tepig. 

 

This game allows me to have custom sprites, why am I not allowed to exert that freedom? I'm not trying to make Nintendo change the design, nor am I trying to make everyone change incineroar in their own games. I'm just offering an option for a quadruped incineroar.

I find the whole quadraped obsession with fire starters really silly.

 

It's not a bad sprite on its own(it's a fine general monster design) but I can't say I like it as much as Incineroar as it lacks personality and actually feels less connected than Incineroar does. The fire belt evolved from torracat's fire bell, yet this has that little link completely gone. I feel it's also a bit shallow of a design, as you focused too much on trying to make it look cool and not really giving it much of a cohesive theme outside that. It feels like a very superficial evolution of torracat, whereas even when introducing the tiger mask heel theme you could see litten's upper body progressively getting more focused, becoming more aggresive, and Incineroar's belt building off torra's fire bell. 

 

Your spriting skills aren't bad though, I think it could stand to utilize a bit of shading but otherwise pretty good especially for your first time.

I never said you did, I just went on a mini-rant about it because I have about 0 self-control

in things like that

That sprite looks.....

 

awesome!

Would you still call said Pokemon Incineroar or give the Pokemon a new name? I totally came up with a legit, original name: Raiphloroark

I don't know how to rename pokemon, just how to overlay sprites.
