Just a thinking

Should i make them 4 stages? like
[Egg>Baby>Child>Adult]
I can make eggs myself, should i? Because eggs give suspense and suprises XD

Kyittas, What should i call your specie? they look unique and new

Sure, you can learn to draw by doing the egg sprites - it's really easy - just keep zooming back in and out until you have the shape you want. You should save the egg shading and lines as a base to use in the future.

You can name the species anything you like. ^^

Would you want these? They're non-bases. If you don't it's okay! :D:

Wallie, thats really awesome! i will use it definetly.. Am i allowed to recolor it? :3

Uhm Wallie can i ask you how you did the color on the title? Here http://caterpillarcave.com/index On the "Home" title? Btw its not from the menu...

Sure go ahead an recolor it. It might be a bit difficult if you don't have a software that can replace colors though. XD
In your css stylesheet in the Eternia theme folder there's this part of the code:
#image a{
color:#222;
text-decoration:none;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:bold;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 1px #eee;
}
Edit the value after color:
:3

I was thinking of something

Should i use kyittas's inveted specie as the main specie for the game? (Just like caterpillar cave, only one specie) So it would be easier to create breeds and they can get different kinds of the specie, and if posdible battle them.. But this not my decision yet, i still need yours.. If i decided to use this, kyittas may i have your permission to create references for this for artists who want to create different poses for it? And wallie, thanks for all the work you did for me! I adore and love them! if i decided to do this, you could keep all your art or give them to the community.. thanks!!

I think that this would work best if there are a lot of different variations that can be created - like, maybe besides patterns, you could add horns and different types of tails, different numbers of ears, and etc. I also suggest using multiple different poses since 1 pose may get kind of boring... :3

yeah thats what i am talking about, when i get enough points for DA I might commision some (Honestly i dunno how to earn that much fast) How much is commision for pixel art in DA?

It depends on the artist you hire. If you go for one of the best artists out there on dA, you could be paying 1500 - 5000 pts for a single adoptable species. But if you search for the smaller artists (who may or may not) be as good, you could definitely pay less, like 50 - 500 points.

Wha wha... Im speechless XD i dunno how to earn that much, i dont have art skills. All i do is sell adopts madrle from bases and it takes so long, it took me 8 months to earn like 200 with DaHub and selling
adopts, so sad i dunno what to do.

I still think the best option is to teach yourself... Actually, can you just draw an adoptable by yourselft completely first? Then, I'll try to help you. :3

You're young and you're from a smaller country. I don't know what it's like there, but it's probably not the easiest, even for those who have it easier than others. It's completely understandable while you want to do something so ambitious and productive so soon in life! And I think that you should absolutely stick with it and hold it dear to your heart. You're a big dreamer and I think that's just as important as being able to wrap your head around coding and art. You want to learn, and I can definitely tell! It's good to have a hobby that could put you well off in life while you're still young and not expected to do so much yet.

You're very mature, but here in the United States there seems to be a focus on the safety of children and young teenagers online. A lot of websites are hosted/based out of the United States, and by law, they're not allowed to let anyone join if they're under the age of 13. (You may have come across this already?) Even when I was young, these laws were in place (and honestly, I lied about my age, too). I personally think it's very hard to judge someone's age online if they never say how old they are. And when someone says English isn't even their native language, it gets even harder to estimate someone's true age.

I bring this up because, for now, you're better off not stating your age online. I can't tell you not to join websites (and I doubt you'd listen, I wouldn't have, lol), just to stay safe. But I can recommend you not give away your age. That will both keep you safe and keep you from getting banned or kicked out of websites. DeviantART included. Not everyone is understanding or nice there, and the moment they know someone is underage, they will report them for their own safety.

Now that I've said that, I wanted to say that I've made several free to use bases that people can use for points commissions on DeviantART, and you're welcome to create things with them to sell for points. (Some are species that aren't my own, so they can't be used outside of that website, but the owner of the species allows people to make bases that can be sold. Like these ones.)

yeah i tought about that too.. theres no laws like that in our country so it will be alright... I am still trying to draw altough its hard but ill try my best

What i am doing now is saving points by selling adopts (I can sell one for 3minimum and 30 max) I really hope i can commission anyone for cheap bases.. 5-10 types of poses could be enough.. I hope i can save up soon ^_^

Re
 

I actually have a base I drew based on Kyttias's but it's not a sprite. And just a heads up, comparing the time it took me to make that one and the time it took me to make one of the earlier sprites, non-sprites would probably be cheaper than those that aren't. If you wan't to use sprites, no problem, you just need the money or draw them yourself. :3

^ Hehe, yeah! It takes me three times as long to make a sprite! I'm really looking forward to Tabi's tutorials, though.

So, I haven't asked yet, what's Eternia about? What kind of place is it? World/environment? If you draw a map I could take a shot at making a fancier version of it.

Do you have access to a scanner? It may be the fastest way to get your voice across to other artists. I'm decently good at redrawing things, when I'm not always very creative myself.

I'm still not sure what I'm doing with my own site, but I have plenty of free time to help out with yours for now.

^ Agreed, I'd like to know what you have in mind for a backdrop. :3
Anyhow, what do you think of this fellow(based of Kyttias's):
http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...ps181836b9.png
And I have no idea if this will help you at all, but I made a quick non-sprite tutorial for you:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing
Obviously, it's terrible. XD

thank you wallie, everything on the tutorial was easy, my weakness is drawing the lines and anatomy, ill try to practice more to make :D

http://i60.tinypic.com/1t0nj5.png
yay!! I wanted to post the first base i made, i didnt put ears and tails so i can add different kinds when needed, please give me advice on what i need to improve, what mistake i need to fix.. Btw the base colors is by kyittas (Heres what it will look like when colored) thanks! I really tried the best, and its hard to draw with a mouse, a great thing is i am using kyittas's sketches for my adoptable so it will be alot easier, this one took 1-2hrs (idk)

Re
 

Not bad for a first. :3 However, you might want to work a bit on making your lines a bit smoother and your curves a bit rounder. As for shading, maybe make it more noticeable like putting more shading?

I don't know the pose this adoptable is supposed to be in, but if it's supposed to be standing flat on the ground, I think some legs are a bit shorter than others. And don't forget the snout! :D

http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psf2fc11e1.png

Made a really quick redraw:
http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1ab2e598.png
Note: I think I messed up on the back flank. XP

^ As the pose in question is from one of my sketch dumps, I can tell you that you've changed it completely by making it on solid ground, Wallie. Only the two straightest legs should be touching ground. Originally, it was a midwalk forward to the right looking skyward to the left. It's a bit too dynamic between my intention for the camera angle and pose for the anatomy to come across accurately without any context.

It was kyittas sketch dump i used, but thanks for helping, is there anything i need to fix?

Oh, ok! So, like this?:
http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/for...&pictureid=111 (I think I put the ears and horns in the wrong place.)
Hmm, in that case, I still think something looks a bit funny with the left leg, but oh well.
I think the curves on yours look a tiny bit sharp(the top of the flank looks a bit like a bump). It looks like the 2 front legs aren't separated by anything, so maybe put a line through there? Also, don't forget the snout! :D

Anyways, would you want the bases for all the critters I did for you like the one above? They're not sprites, but if you don't want them I'll take them. :3

I could probably make you a species or two. Do you want any specific qualities to them? c: And some items too. :3

I need just recolorable shaded pixel art animal without ears and tail, Check examples above.. thats all i need, 3 stages. So i can put different ears and tails...

@Wallie, did you put an image on your post? I cant see it XD

Re
 

O.o it's not there? Here it is:
http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/for...&pictureid=110 and http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/for...&pictureid=111

I dunno whats happening but i still cant see it, idk why Xd

Can you see it now?

Nope... IDK Whats happening XD

Ohh I found it on your gallery, all i can say is WONDERFUL! I might have 2 styles for the website just for the greatness of your work! I really love it

^Oh really?! Anyways, have you decided whether or not you want to use 1 unique species?

I decided to use 1 specie

Okey dokey! So you won't need the other critters? I'll just share them! :3

Yeah sure you can, and what do you mean by other bases from the critters you gave me?

^You know how I made non-pixel versions of Kyttias's critters? I have the bases of those. I gave you colored versions, but I have the plain, transparent bases.

Yes i would want them
