Beginnings of a Fakémon project., My first Pokémon to join the Dex. Options

[Doomhunt]

Well guys, unfortunately since joining RRR I haven't uploaded much, and haven't been as active in the community as I'd liked to have been. Tonight that changed when I found I had MS Paint and a few hours to kill after a long and sad funeral procession for my gf's grandmother. R.I.P Mary Locascio Sep. 6, 2012. We will miss you dearly.

Anyways, I have really been getting into Fakemon lately. I found some highly impressive and innovative sprites on deviantart, google, and elsewhere. I want to create my own Dex so that maybe I can turn it into a game with RGSS!! One day... *wink* *wink*

Anyways, enough with the chatter, here is my VERY first Fakemon/Pokemon sprite done from scratch EVER!! Feel free to criticize, I want feedback to improve my skills!!!

Squidlet is a water-type starter Pokemon that I'd like to have two additional evolutions for. Mind you, if the creature looks a bit strange, I will also post the photo I received inspiration from, a Piglet Squid, hahaha!:



UPDATE -Sept 23, 2012 1:00AM �Cameron Stoker:



Now I know the shading of the yellow is bad, and the shell is totally an Omastar's, and I'm COMPLETELY AGAINST fusion, but I was really struggling with the shell.

w00t!!!! I have just completed my very first Fakemon sprite! I am very happy with the Squidlet and Krakonseidon, but I do not like the 2nd stage sprite. I can't believe my accomplishments! Not that I'm bragging at all, I simply thought I would be depressed with the results of my first go around. Sweet. Please Comment, Rate, Critique. THANK YOU RRR!! I wouldn't have found motivation/inspiration without the guidance of this community!

Been working on my Fire Starter guys!! W00t not finished yet but I am loving him!

Interesting. Never thought there could be anymore ideas for pokemon... But, generation 5.... yay.
Anyways, back to you.

Your sprite work for this "pokemon" is very unique.
I guess you aren't going to use the same shading like the pokemon and give it a more realistic feel to it.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Thank you so much for the great feedback!! And yes I actually just recently picked up a Nintendo DS lite from Gamestop with Pokemon Black. My gf got a 3DS for her birthday and I convinced her to buy white version so I went and got mine so we could play, trade, battle together.

Hmm, that is very true. I did want to express realism in the sprite, and am grateful for your positive critique, however I am only making things more difficult for myself by making the creature so realistic. However, its evolutionary form will have a shell, kind of similar to a Chambered Nautilus(click link to view if you don't know what one is), and then I will have the ability to add some more creative additions, like maybe icicles or stones portruding from the shell, therefore changing the pokemon's type to Ice/Water or Ice/Ground, and its final Form will be a Kraken-like creature with possibly an Ice/Water element type. At least that's the plan anyways. I don't like the name either. I may change it to Squidlet.

Also, just out of curiosity, where did you get your runescape sig?

I simply love the idea of the glasses from Squilijet turning into a psychic headband on Krakonseidon.
The only reason why I said glasses cause they look like these sunglasses

Still I love where this is going and I am wondering if this will go any further.

Also I've always wanted to see what a grass/poison pokemon would look like since those two oppose each other.
