Sneasel/Nyuula Murkrow/Yamikarasu Sprite Edits

Published:
7.7K Views

Description

Note: ALL SPRITES (including the original ones from the games) have been edited via minor details:
Sneasel:
Fixed ear tuff bases (feathered ear level matches male and official artwork length/size)
Shadow alterations
Added wrist details
Edited claw tips
Tweaked eyes
Proper tongue color
Jewel tweaks
Tweaked heel

Murkrow:
Revamped feather crest (size matches female and official artwork height/bulk/size)
Shadow alterations, removed non-black pixels
Added details to eyes
Fixed legs and talons
Added neck tuffs
Altered wings and tail shadows
Proper tongue color
Altered mouth/beak

Reason for this was because I wasn't initially proud of my first one. And it felt a bit empty without Murkrow.
Murkrow was a bit more of a chore to work with, but it all turned out well in the end. =w=
Note that I had to revise this SEVERAL TIMES. There were always mistakes that I've noticed. It wasn't easy, but things got simple when I found out what I had to fix each time.

Other things to note:
Sneasel/Nyuula with Murkrow/Yamikarasu as second ranger is/are indeed my fave Pokemon.

In the games I play, my Sneasel is always male, with my Murkrow always female. Mainly because my first Murkrow I caught was a girl, and that the female Murkrows as of Gen IV match the original artwork better (same for the male Sneasels). Ironically, my VERY first Sneasel I ever caught was a female (in Gold).

Ironically, Sneasels were rare by the time I played Gold again in middle school (the problem was indeed "WHERE THE HELL DO I FIND ONE?!"), as my rival Silver (that's the Gen II rival's official name) had one before me (ALBEIT HE STOLE ONE), he made me froth from my mouth out of envy.
My sis said to me: "Mt. Silver".
"Mt. Silver?"
"Mt. Silver."
"............"
And by the time I'd beat the game just to get to Mt. Silver....
I had NO IDEA WHERE ON THE MOUNTAIN IT WAS.... DDDXXX
Until it was OUTSIDE the damn cave, not inside. XP
And it was at night too. Befitting for several Dark-type Pokemon.

Me/Zhuuyoh: HAHA! SILVER! I GOT MY OWN SNEASEL! LET'S THROWDOWN~!!! YOU AND ME! COME ON!!!!

One of the sole reasons I LOVE Pokemon Crystal, as Sneasel can be caught early in the Ice Path (even right before I save the Radio Tower!). =w=; Though it's not at Mt. Silver anymore though. But who cares?!?! XD (If you're me that is.) For Murkrow, I still have to wait till Kanto (love the feather crest).

In Gen IV, I had my sister's Platinum+Action Replay+Full Pokedex (she took the time to fully complete it herself) to thank for making the eggs I need to trade Sneasel and Murkrow over. Right now, it's Heart Gold for me. Back during my Diamond days, I'd get Murkrow in Eterna Forest (and make sure I see a female to record on the Pokedex).

As for Sneasel, I'd go to Route 216 RIGHT after beating the Canalave City Gym Leader to use Strength so I could move north through Mt. Coronet. (Though I actually won't go all the way to Snowpoint City though, or battle any trainers on the way just yet.)

Next thing, I'd get a Medicham/Charem or Lopunny/Mimilop to breed with a female Sneasel (encounter a male one first for Pokedex) so I could give it Ice Punch.
My sis' Platinum helped me give my Murkrow Heat Wave. =w=

And alas, I like my Sneasel and Murkrow the way they are, and I don't plan to evolve them at times. For my Murkrow, NO WAY I WANT HER to be a enslaving Honchkrow/Donkarasu. =__=
But the whole process of breeding and shit outside of ROM Hacks that massively improve single player experience is really making me dislike wanting to play through physical Pokemon games nowadays.

Though trying to cross Nintendou into other shit outside of their consoles feels like a death sentence due to how stingy they are; almost like Disney. : P
