i forgot to share some of the new monsters and designs. i want to challenge myself into sticking with 4 colors (including black and white!), so these might not be the "true" colors of the monsters. interpret the colors however you want :)
These are Toxifarce and Suncrower, the monsters representing toxic and nature types in Ban Mah. They were really fun to do :)
Poltegoat+Luscangel
Micelium+Powketroo
Dracumulus+Canaroc
Jelvysprite+Cruistacean
any feedback is appreciated! reading the other posts is not needed but could provide more context. under the read more is a more in-depth talk about these guys
Toxifarce is supposed to be poisonous frog (eventually became more toady) and a clown/mime
Suncrower is a mix between a sunflower and scarecrow (kinda-)
Design Changes
Other versions of Toxifarce can be seen here, and here , though this design was made May 21st, 2022 ( I never posted the page). There’s slight changes made to accommodate it having colors (since i usually design things without color in mind... which is something i need to work on), and make it look more appealing in general. its the stripes on the belly and the back- its a softer shape to resemble poisonous. I had a really hard with Toxifarce’s design, especially the last stage, for a While. watching amphibia helped me design it lol. First stage is unchanged because its just so cute... the only change is the pattern it has.
I didn’t mean to make it the nonbinary flag colors. i always thought that it’d be white/black/purple, and i added a yellow to complement the purple and since i needed another color to make it look good.... happy accident
this was suncrower’s original design, also never posted! the only change is the last stage (and, as you can see on the main page, i struggled with it also, lol)
Foils
I decided to change how I did the foil sheet this time! the sheet is way cleaner and its recolored sprites now. I think this looks way nicer, and it saves me time. I also included the color palettes, and ordered them the same way so its clearer what color is swapping where. I will probably re-do other foil sheets to look like this at some point.
Toxifarce: The 1st palette was supposed to resemble toxic frogs more, and i just thought it looked nice. 2nd foil is suncrower’s palette. the brown doesnt replace the purple in the first stage since suncrower-1 doesnt have it. the 3rd foil is supposed to represent how it’s toxic, so i chose purple + pink (poison+warning color/looks nice), black, and a radioactive green
Suncrower: The 1st set it supposed to represent the different colors corn have, though I’m not sure how clear that is. what matters is that it looks cool. 2nd foil is toxicroak’s colors, and the 3rd is supposed to represent how it’s nature-y. I didn’t want to make it just green, so i made it pink (because it complements the green, looks nice, and there are pink plants), and brown (bark, mud)
Sprites
i kept the new sprite style. I’m still trying to figure it out, like when to color the inside lines or not, but i’m really liking it! It’s based off of pokemon’s style, but i feel like im mixing my own style, which is good! i like it.
