 CHIAMO LINE:

this post is kind of breaking the general trend of posting the mons in order since i actually did the water starter a month or so before the other two, but i wanted to put all of the starters together so the grass starter is first. i think my main critique of this line for myself is just that the poses feel very static, which i think is generally the biggest problem i have with all of my sprites. it kind of makes sense here though since theyre supposed to look like theyre made out of clay like chia pets and haniwa (the things gyroids in animal crossing are based on). also the first sprite here is a secret split evo based on vinesauce vargskelethor joel, the funny swede himself

MATCHSLUG LINE:

i think this is my favorite of the starters. the name of the first stage is based off of mattsludge, and the second stages name is overly literal as a bit. but yeah i really like the pose in strikefore's sprite and i think these ones are pretty solid as a whole.

 AHFISH LINE:

this was the first one of the starters done and there was a monthish between it and the other two. this line is the one i did after maiyamula. i think ahfish is kind of small compared to the other two but also thats mostly just because its body is very skinny. besides that my only gripe with these guys is thahfish's back sprite. i generally put less effort into back sprites because theyre just less fun to do, but its particularly bad. i did it after staying up all night and i think it really suffered because of it lol. im probably going to redo it at some point. besides that though i like these 3 a lot
