Thank you, Kgoku.

A small update on a character I'm working on. Still need a name and all the other info but I've at least got his look done.

Works very beautiful , I loved Superman . Congratulations

Wicked awesome job. How about Reaper, or Black Angel of Fate.

He reminds this guy Skull Man form the Kamen Rider Spirits Manga

Spoiler:

Thanks, Mr. Fantasy. I quite enjoyed making my Superman.

And I could just kiss you Kgoku. I'm rather ashamed I didn't think of Reaper.

I never read any of the Kamen Rider mangas, bit you are right, Alucard. Seeing the two defenitly makes you think of the other.

Few different versions of my newest character. Don't have much info done up about him but I've took to calling him Hazard.

Great micro, I like so much Skull

Hazard look really wicked impressive.

Thanks, Witch and Kgoku. Both Hazard and Skull are some of my favorites that I've worked on.

Recently I've been on a Pokemon kick and decided to make my own trainer. Thinking about maybe opening up a request universe too.




I plan on adding pokeballs to the micro so I have a set with and without the strap to his bag.

He looks really .

Thanks, Kgoku.

It's been awhile since I've posted an update so for now I'm just gonna post the micros that I've done in my request thread.


First up, the request from Kat.


Second is the request for Mrs. Grizzley.



And the most recent one that I've finished was for Sir Uriel, with a few different options.

I am currently working on a request for Witch, which I hope to be done with soon.

they are all looking fantastic CA i look forward to seeing what you have in store for us with witch

Excellent work . Kat was very good ; Mrs. Grizzley this very beautiful and also Sir Uriel . Congratulations

What a beautiful job.

Thank you, Uriel, Fantasy, and Kgoku.

Just a quick update with Witch's finished request.



In the meantime I'll be finishing up some projects that I have already started. Although, I suppose I'll have to come up with another project unless some more requests roll.

These are looking so awesome so far. Really great work on them.

Great creations!
I love my version

Excellent work, hair, clothes and fantastic expression . Congratulations

Thank you Lomeli, Witch, and Mr. Fantasy.

Also, Witch, I'm glad you like your character.

Anyway, finished up a request for Spaz.



Since he only requested brown hair and blue eyes I kept the design rather basic (shirt, pants, jacket), in case I wanted to play around with it later on.

Since each character has had their own things to make them stand out I did make a jacket specifically for his character that I will probably using for some of my future creations.

Credit where it's due.

Both Spaz and Witch look so awesome, what a simply excellent job.

Thank you Kgoku. I'm have quite a lot of fun coming up with all of these characters.

Speaking of characters, got a few new OC's, mainly some members of Team Rocket. For all my future micros pertaining to this project, pokemon trainers will have the pokeball symbol somewhere on their clothing while Team Rocket members will have an R someone on their clothing.



The first two are my versions of the male Team Rocket Grunt uniforms. Running with some of my own ideas, I wanted Team Rocket to have more of a military look to them seeing as how the grunts are the foot soldiers of the organization.




And here I've got the female versions. I wanted the male and female uniforms to look similar. The only difference between the two is the addition of the skirts for the female grunts.

Both the male and female grunts do not have hair simply because there are just the template that I will be using to create the specific teams from. Once I have the teams decided they will then have hair and other features as well as an alternate costume for a disguise.


One of the first Executives in the Team Rocket hierarchy. She was the first person that Giovanni recruited into the fold, although she came more of her own free will than others would believe. Like the leader of Team Rocket she discarded her old life and name and created a new one as a member of Team Rocket, taking the name Rose, for many reasons but mainly as a reason to explain the embroidered 'R' on her clothing.

I have a couple different micros for her, the first being when she was still a trainer before joining Team Rocket. The other two her outfit as an executive of Team Rocket.


Giovanni, the self made leader of Team Rocket, he created the organization from the ground up recruiting, some with promises and some with force, one person at a time in the early days. After about a year hidden Team Rocket debuted, committing crimes in every major city of the Kanto region. After that it wasn't very hard to gain recruits.

Like Rose I have several different versions of Giovanni. The first two being him as a trainer before he redubbed himself as Giovanni and the rest as his appearance as Giovanni through the years until he was an old man. During the timeline in my universe I will be using the first four micros of him, saving the last three for later on when I need him to return.

My Giovanni micro's are also some of the first that I have done shading on the face and after what came out I am quite happy with how he has turned out, making him one of my favorite male micros to date.

Most of the items that I used can be found in the template section of the forum, with some minor alterations made by myself, but as always credit where it is due.

Daaaaaamn... I'm liking your micros and costume design...

So I take it that you're *not* going with the idea that the Rival in Johto is Giovanni's lost son, are ya? *chuckle*

Excellent work so far and I'm very much looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Simply epic job, really dig their design, love Rose design the most.

Thank you, Grizz. I'm pulling different ideas from all the available source material (manga, anime/cartoon, games, etc.). As well as throwing in my own ideas into the mix.

In my universe Giovanni is simply a name he gave himself after an incident that happened to him, which will be revealed in the story. This also leads into the recruitment of several of the first members of Team Rocket, including Rose.

I have given thought about the characters already present in the Pokémon universe, but I've decided to make it my own and leave most of those characters out, or at least the versions that have already been distinguished (Red, Blue, Green, Silver, etc.), and create my own versions of them like I did with Giovanni. I have plans to have Giovanni and Rose romantically linked, but I'm not sure about any possible children as of now.

Mainly I plan on using my characters as well as those from the request thread as the most prominent characters. Right now many of the characters from the request thread will become my rivals. Since Spaz's character is a blank slate to play with I've got several ideas for him, but I mainly plan on him being a powerful trainer to come in and test my own throughout the Kanto arc, and maybe the Johto arc, of my story. After that I'm still planning things out.

Thank you, Kgoku. Rose is so far one of my favorite OC's so far, and I like the back story I am creating for her so far as well, I just hope other's do when I post the story introducing her.

Alright, another quick little update with come more Rocket members.


Another one of the Rocket Executives. Eric here was at first just a grunt, but quickly gained Giovanni's attention as he rose through the ranks of Team Rocket. Eventually Giovanni made him one of his executives. He is the first that has ever went from being a grunt to an executive. He is an inspiration to many of the grunts to do the best that they can in hopes of achieving the same for themselves, as such Giovanni likes to keep Eric out in the field among the grunts to keep morale high among Team Rocket's members.

I couldn't decide whether I wanted him to have hair of not so I made one of each, and that still didn't help me decide which I like better on him. Some input on that would be helpful. Since he was a grunt, and an executive that remains in the field, I did a couple different outfits. The first being the Grunt uniform, the second and third being what he wears when out in the field, and the fourth being what he wears when at Rocket's headquarters.



Mai is the head of the R&D Department of Giovanni's Team Rocket. She is the youngest of the executives, only 18, and is perhaps just as intelligent, if not more, as Giovanni. She is a prodigy when it comes to many things and it was that that drove Giovanni to have her a member of his organization. As many teenagers are she is rebellious, forgoing the regular attire of many Rocket members for something she is more comfortable with.

I wanted to have a little fun with her, and since I made the other female executives rather fancy I wanted to go in the other direction. In stead of a dress or skirt Mai is uaually in a pair of jeans, some worn like in the micro. While in the lab she usually wears a lab coat or at least a long sleeve shirt. Another things she likes to rebel with is her hair, often changing it every couple weeks with makeup to match. I have a few different color options already made out as well as her hair up in a bun and her hair down.


The last of the female executives, Alexa, is attracted to power and does whatever she can to gain Giovanni's attention. This often causes her and Rose to be at each others throats. While Eric is Giovanni's man on the ground Alexa is the woman that works behind the scenes moving troops from place to place, keeping supply lines open, and making sure that no one is caught by the police.

Since I wanted her to be somewhat flirty towards Giovanni I wanted her to be dressed the part to gain a man's attention, thus the shorts and opened shirt. The boots are more of an 'ass-kicking' accessory, usually delivery a well placed kick to some of the stupider grunts. On Alexa I wanted to do freckles on her cheeks, but I have no idea if what I did looks good or not.


Last up, an Elite Rocket member. These members of Team Rocket are only known to Giovanni and a handfull of others. Some of the executive aren't even aware of their exhistence. These members of the main reason that the police is having so much trouble with Team Rocket as they are often used to steal high value targets, assassinate, sabotage, and any of thing that is required of them. Many are silent, but if they do speak their voices are masked by voice scramblers built into the mask. The lenses also have multiple uses, something that I will develop more in the story.

Now you may have noticed that the Elite member is very similar to Spaz's trainer. Could this be a coincidence, could Spaz be this masked member of Team Rocket?!? (Insert dramatic music here) Probably not! If he is though that there's got to be a damn good reason for him to work for Team Rocket.

Credit where it's due.
