Your spelling doesn't look bad, at least from that one post.

My comic is pokemon Zodiak, the first few don't do me justice, i did those a long time ago and just am posting some each week. The reason my spelling isn't to bad on the top is becuase it had a spell check option.

what is that about Den? i know Pokemon is over done beyond all reason, but if done right* it can be awesome.
*sorry, but unless you are really, really, REALLY good, you better not have your main charecter be Ash Ketchum. Red is slightly more exeptible. you know what, just make this easier on all of us and use original characters. and if i see a single character in your pokemon web comic with the last name of "Ketchum" i will hunt you down.
i should probably mention i'm the alliance's resident pokemon uberfan? i take my pokemon very, very, VERY seriously. just a warning.

Don't double post.
And remember that asshole on Drunk Duck ranting about Pokemon comics? Sad but true, he's right. 1. The game isn't about the person you play as, it's about the Pokemon you catch and raise. 2. They're tiny-ass sprites with no actual face (it's just maybe 15 skin-colored pixels with eyes, no mouth or any other facial feature) making it very hard to have facial expressions on them, and if they're done they usually look stupid. 3. Even a really good spriter will have trouble making a sprite out of the overhead ones, all the actual edited sprites you see of Pokemon are either the Pokemon themselves or the Trainer Portraits, not the Trainer Overheads.
This is why I dropped my Pokemon comic project, it wouldn't have worked out in the end.
Period point blank: The Pokemon genre is not worth making comics of. This is why we usually try to encourage people on this forum to use Megaman customs or other side scrolling sprites (or at least sprites with editable features that don't fit into a 16x16 square) because they're easier to edit and more acceptable in comics.
The only reason there's so many popular Pokemon sprite comics out there is because it's being spiffed up with fancy effects, "good" facial expressions, "edited" sprites and other things. People also see it and go "Oh hey! Another Pokemon journey! Awesome!"... Or at least they did until it was overdone.
Sorry for sounding so harsh on this, if I happen to come across like that.

Oak is Oak... that one is 100% fair... but you just made one major mistake. it's not from the show, it's from the series. and if it's a different May, it better use a different sprite.
<- desided not to go on a rant this time.

I hope yours stands out above them.

mine probaly won't stand out as it is kind of a test run. If i think it works out i will continue. May's sprite is the same one from the game but it changes later on in the comic. (not just the color) I perfer doing edits myself to the characters. I also perfer characters like this. I feel it gives me more freedom to desgin the area and have them intract with the terrain. I am not making it based on a game. sorry for the double post before i went back to check the comics i made to make sure it had no body from the show. Does nurse Joy count? *still have problems with the profile picture.*

"does nurse joy count?" well... did oak count?
a better question is "what mutation did the joy family go through that almost every female in it has for the most part the same exact appearence?" that is a good question. and odds are, we will never know.
